WRIGHT, MALE ON THE FLAG PRE SENTA2ION TO COLONEL lIIIINEY'S REGIMENT PENNSYL VANIA VOLUNTEERS, IN CAMP, ON SATURDAY LAST, IN YrtEfiENTINGS SWO.IO, TO CAPTAIN 01 5 . .1.11, G IMENT. CArra P.: DILLY It was no part of the programme in thisday's business that I eh be the organ of your command, in presenting to 3 on, in their name, this beau. WM testimonial of their affection and regard for you, I em at aloes what to say, without a inoment's notice. But, captain Dilly, when I cast my eyes around me, and be hold every bill top, in this vicinity, crowned with fortill c...tioms, mounted Nritb heavy vans i every -valley .whilett td with the tents of loyal and brave soldiers, engaged in the defence of our country; surrounded at lam by your gallant colonel and his fifteen hundred men, and, above all, with the Leanly of the Feetiopdie before me, these shall inspire my thoughts, and I should regent myself a dull man, indeed, if I could not, though in an imperfect may, discharge the duties which have thus devolved them. Alves upon me. Capt. Dilly, you come from my own State, my own county, my own town—nay, you are my nearest neigh bor—and how gratifying it is fur me to speak your Praificei Wet lit the prouce er your own ussocintee in arm, and in the presence of this multitude of people. Were you not entitled to this superb sword, which your fellow-soldiers have put iu my hands to present you with, these ceremonies would not Lave marked a period in the history of your life, upon which you may look back with -Irtalhide to that , Actiac,k&lity and scalsf.alon ha the thought that you were the especial object of their ad. miratiom Captain Dilly, the cause in which you are called upon to teas , this read one WM& APCated the aieet and patriotic feelings. It is to put down that insurrec tion and rebellion which menaces the existence of the American Union ; and which, if not subdued, will destroy and annihilate those principles of liberty and free fps-cru mb( which it was your privilege and DIM to inherit, and which wo should surrender only with our heart's blocd. The war, if it may be so called, (and_ the time has passed to question this,) is a war not to subjugate the people of any State not to reb them of a single tional right i not to interfere with the rights of personal property—but to put down a wicked insurrection, and a rebellion, originated without cause, which are shaking the American Republic from its centre—a blitek eland that almost obscures the nation's flag, and almost para lyzes its armed power. It is a war for the restoration of the Government as it teas, and with no other view. And so long as the war shall be conducted upon the principles Which inaugurated it, and which wore fully and frankly proclaimed in the executive proclamation issued in April last, it shall and will be a triumph; but woe to the na tion and its destiny, when the object shall be changed to at war of negro emancipation ! I cannot foretell the dan gers and troubles which would surround the nation in much a deplorableevent.Wm,can " i It would present a divided North, a united South, a demoralized army! When the President sent forth his appeal to the tarsple for men to quell rebellion, and, assuring loyal citizens everywhere,that they should be guarantied in the en :MD:Ma of l their political rights, how nobly did they respond ! In a period of less than six months, six hun dred thousand men were marshalled into the field. And that brave army are now ready to light the battles of re public.n liberty, but not of negro emancipation. Three, Captain Dilly, I conceire to be the objects of the war, and it is tu this cause you are to draw this sword; and may you give it that renown, which those who present it to you nave a right to expect at your hands. The ,word which the great Napoleon carried at the ft old of _kustorlitz he regal/ILA Ag 4h6 Pieb6gt legacy lid could confer upon Me son. The swords of Washington and Jackson aro preserved in the archives of the Go vernment, and no sacrifice would be spared to prevent tinge from falling into the epoiler's hand. They are titling emblems to commemorate the valor uhd patriotism of grout and good 111,6h_ . _ You are a young man. The fieldof honor and glory and •advancetnent is before you, and when you real in tee history of the past that in military life it is true merit that eettrettl honor upon the soldier, let this encourage you to itrtionL You have the conlidenco of your inon—your vast see• vices in the field are a good earnest of what your friends Lace good reason to hope and expect in the future. Take this sword, Capt. Dilly. Let it be drawn from its SCaLlifird only dyfence of poustitutional li4erty ell<l the restoration of the union, and may the OW of Burned protect you, and may you live to return to your home and friends wish honorable scars—if they must come-4nd -with a reputation that shall cause you to be pointed out as one of the brave men of the Wyoming valley who, when their country required their services, wore found ready and willing to face the foes of the Republic. Birney, of the Twenty-third Regiment, received the sword in behalf of Captain Dilly in a very gpirited speech.

The bill providing for the election of bbe heeds of de partments woe taken up and discussed in Committee of the Whole, Mr. Jottne in the chair. Mr. NEAL offered an amendment to the bill that the present heads of departments hold over until the sue ceesorg are elected, provided the term be not extended beyond the first staled meeting in March. bin rdiclsvr ne moved to strike out the proviso. Mr. Ccrusit spoke in favor of the amendment, and contended that if the prolix. we.Q Michell oat it wont,' give the power to one branch Of Councils to prevent the election of the heads of Departments if it saw fit to go into joint convention. He said certain seats were con tested in the other Chamber, and they should be settled b; fore the election was held. Mr. NEAL further amended that the time be axed to May, which was agreed to, and the bill passed finally. BiEGARV offered a retadution that the Philadel phia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad be authorized to continict now 111ihvikr trnciie on Sixteenth ettCTtt crcqn Vablkington avenue In Cltriatian newt - , anti also to con nect with the tracks now laid, in order to connect with a new depot intended to be built by them, to facilitate the tramquisslon of nillikArr stores.

COMMON COUNCIL The members were called to order at half past three o'clock, Charles B. Trego, president, in the chair. The Char gilViilitt4o a communication from Mr. John M. Bead, calling the attention of Council to the defence less condition of the Delaware bay and of our harbor anti city. Referred to the Committee on Defence and Protec tion: The securities oi John M. Johnson, City Commissioner elect, were submitted and referred to the Finance Corn mittee. Also, the securities of Messrs. Wilcox & Whi ting, contractors for the erection of the superstructure of Cliestitut-street bridge. The Chair stated that the next business in order was the resolution authorizing the lease of the Girard coal lands, Schuylkill county, (which was under discussion last xceek,) to Mr. James J. Connor, and such other Der. eons as may be accepted from time to time, by the super intendent of the Girard Estate, under the supervision of the Committee on Girard Estates. Lnia FialMA of Mr_ (! onus! not Laing inserted in tho [ease, a discussion swoons to this point. Mr. Lt.:alum stated that the lease was simply intended as a form. and that its validity, iu this instance, was se cured by the insertion of the name in the accompanying resolution. The resolution was finally adopted Mr. HARPER, from the Finance Committee, reported two ordinances—one to pay the interest of the public debt falling due on January 1, 1862: also, one to make an appropriation to pay the laieretsi o't the funned dent or the city maturing in 1862. Tito first ordinance provides for the paying of 5148,096.49 for the purpose specified. Passed a final reading. The second ordinance, appropriating , O-19,0003 also passed a final reading. Also, appropriation bills for the Fire Department and Department of Surveys for the ensuing year. Ordered to be printed and lila The Highway Committee submitted a resolution ab solving them from the further consideration of the peti tion of Tames M. Smith, and of the ordinance read in Council in November last, appropriating a certain stun to pay road damages. The resolution was adopted. A report from the Committee on Highways was sub milted by Mr. Stern. It authorizes the Mayor to enter into a lease with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the use of the city railroad on Market street, for the pe riod of thirty-three years at the nominal rent of per annum—thereby freeing the city of the expense of maintaining a superintending officer. Mr. ANDREW MILLER opposed the proposition. Mr. Caasswim. asked whether the Pennsylvania Rail road had been sincerein stating that they would cross the river at the arsenal, and then come up the front of the city at Callowhill street 'I It was avowed that they were, and that they would take up the track below Eleveptit street as soon as the bridge was completed. Mr, NtioatitiVO adV9Pled the measare. It was the in tention of the company, be said, not to use the tracts for freight, but as a feeder to the new passenger depot pro posts! to be built west of the SeimOEM. The interests of the railroad demand that it should accommodate as ninny of our citizens its voesible. The Washington street terminus is not for Philadelphia, but this railroad would be. Mr CRESWELL moved that the ordinance be referred bark to the committee for the purpose of making it ape. citie in character and strict in requirements. Mr. Quinn said it was conceded that this railroad was a nuisance, and yet it is propose d to allow it to ride over us scot free. Our passenger-railroad companies are re quired to pal• so mn cli per car, and yet the Pennsylvania Itailroad Company want to monopolize the principal tho roughfare of the city for thirty-three years without the least remuneration. Mr. HODGSON stated that lta would be glad to see Mar ket street filled with cars from the Schuylkill to the De laware for as the business of the road increased, the trade of the city would likewise be increased. CRESSIVELL thought it questionable policy to place within the reach of the southern section of the city railroad facilities not extended to the northern section. Mr. ()PINY denied that the city would ho benefited ono dollar by this movement. He doubted the policy of giving away your house to get rid of paying the taxes. MEGARGEE said that the city now held 85,000,000 in the Pennsylvania Railroad, and 52,500,000 in the Sun bury read, and theiriutcroit and prsocmwm icieutilbA with her own. Mr. A. DIALLER inquired: Whence do we derive the right to lease the railroad on Market street to the Fenn. ...slk-eida Italie/qui ! I trust that no attempt to give a monopoly of any kind to any company will be made by this body. That which cost the city $20,000, and brings into its treasury $lO,OOO annually, is to be given to the VennsOvania Railv-ad for a dollar - a year! 111. r. MEGARGEE EGid that with regard to our giving the road e 20,000, the boot was on the oth , r leg. The question on the motion to recommit the ordinance to the committee then recurred. A vote being taken, it was defeated. The oricinal ordinnnee nne then taken up Mr. INGHAM opposed the measure. Mr. Crests inquired whether he had understood cor rectly that the branch railroad on Third street would be dimontinued if this lasts woe grantod_ Mr. 111E0ARO RE stated, upon the authority of the pre sident and directors, that such was the fact. Mr. STERR moved that $1 be stricken out from the ordinance. and, as an amendment, $l,OO be inserted. Mr. FREEMAN favored the ordinance. 13.T.Y.a - a. - could not oat., as gentlemen had urged, that by this measure the Pennaylvania Railroad would be contributing *24,000 to the city treasury. The anidnolnient of Mr. Sterr was withdrawn A motion .sae theh offet , td. to Doe.trone the further eon sideratiou of the subject, and was carried by a vote of 25 to 28. Mr. SorTnwolTlT then moved to amend the term of the totiiC. 'LI 26 -year,. It was further moved to amend the term so as to make it 3 years. Mr. KERR gave the following statement of the receipts and expenditures of the line of the road for the past fire years: Meelob. 19.15e1b1e1. 1850 $10,214 $5,981 00 1857 13,078 5,917 00 1858 8,213 5,497 00 -1859 14,706 7,737 00 1860 15,506 8.498 98 Mr. HODGSON stated that these expenses included also the repairs of the Broad-street road. The question recurring on the amendment to the amendment, it was defeated. The 91999(11119.9t 1)1r, Soritliworth then came Up i awl was negatiTed by a vote or 29 to 26. A proviso was then put and carried, that either party may terminate the lease at one year's notice. Mr. A. MILLER moved that the yearly rent to be paid by the Pennsylvania Railroad be equal to the yearly profits of the city road, which, by the above statement, has averaged SG,OOO for the last five years. Mr. QUINN moved that the rental be determined by two competent persons, one to be chosen by the Mayor and the other by the penusylvomis Railroad Company. Not agreed to. Mr. A. MILLER renewed his motion, and specified the yearly rental at $6,000, and not 451,..as a term of the lease. The question as to introducing the main question wee then put and carried. Mr. QUINN moved to reconsider. A motion was offered by Mr. FREEMAN' to table the last motion. Mr. (tett& dereeeded the yea. and nays_ Mr. l'annit.tg. I withdraw my suotton. Mr. Quont. You cannot do it now; it Is before the house. The motion of Mr. Freeman was agreed to, Mr. Qum - N now moved to reconsider this vote. The CHAIR decided that two successive motions to re consider were out of order. Mr, A, Mlller'ff Wort $5,444 in§to4 el, now come up for consideration) and was loot b a vote of 8 yeas to 30 1183'8. On motion, a call of the house was taken, when it was fonnd that but tkirty-three members were preeent. Adjourned. A LIBEL SUlT.—Yesterday, in the Court of Quarter Sessions, Judge !tinsels, the libel case against Lane ...4choßeld, ark-6*MA of the Publication of an ar ticle attacking James M. Gibson, in his management of the Highway Department in 1858 and 1850, was re sumed. 'There was a large representation of con tractors, commissioners of highways, clerks, &c.,in the court, as the case is ono of considerable interest, the de. fondant proposing to prove the various charges made in the alleged libelous article of mismanagement in that de partment of the highway, under the control of James M. assistant commissioner of highwoye l in 1558 and MO. One of the allegations in the article, published over the signature of Lane Schofield, was as follows: Why did he persuade George Shaffer, who proposed to clean the First district fur 8200 less, to draw down and give it to Mr. Thompson at 5200 hieher 1,, regard to this. Cieo. Shatter lc-stilled that he did make Proposals for cleaning the First and Second wards (First District). Ills bid, in 1858, for the First ward was higher than that of William Thompson, but in the Second curd the Lid was lower than that of Mr. Thompson i did not know how much loaeri from $lOO to $200; Mr. 0-Ih eon induced him to "draw down" in favor of Thompson, and 14e was, in return, to act something better j did not gut anything. hetter, The proposqll. by- Air. Shaffer was in writing. Mr. Green, a clerk in the Highway Depart ment, brought to the court the minute-book of the Com mitaioners and the minute-book of the Committee on highways; and, aileron examination, he testified that be wee unable to discern any minutes, either in 1808 or 1880, of any proposals by Mr. Shaffer or Mr. Thompson for the First district. Mr. Green testified in relation to the way of doing bu siness in the office that before he entered upon his duties it had not been mud to keep the original proposals for cleansing the streets. The witness has introduced a new system ' told ho dies the proposals, and he was induced to do this in consequence of the numerous disputes be tween contractors. When the proposals come before the cOMplitiSiellerS t tend are vpcuctl, it minute is ink cf th 9 lowest bidder, and or no other. There - 15%6110 record made by which the lowest bidder can be ascertained, the mere fact of such a person being the lowest bidder, without re ference to the others, being recorded. TROUBLE WITH A itRITISII VESSEL IN THE WATERS or THE 1 1 EL/WARE.—A few days Since the United States Collector of the port of Delaware City was called upon lo eve-k t his antimrity for the recovery of a permsylvenin volunteer, who had been smuggled on baud n Britiah BlSPeblifilifell- It s,y that the aeffilei mime to Philadelphia on furlough, and was enticed into a low sailors' den in Water street, where he was be trayed into the hands of the British captain, by the boarding-house keeper, for the sum of $3O.

The affair, if it really did come off, must have been " spiritual" A novelty in the art of swindling has come to light within the past two days. A man dressed in the uniform of . of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, milled at the residence of several petsons whose sons are itt the regi ment of Co!. Davis ' and, representing their sons had died in camp, and that he was in charge of the bodies, re lie, caul s t E d money to pay the expenses incurred. In order out the devePtieni ho had covered his cap With crape, and left a piece of the material bang far dawn his back. The fellow's story was doubted oy all upon whom he called, and no money was given him. The attempted retiehiutt the ears of the police s he was arrested, and had a hearing before Alderman Plantanton. Upon the testimony Submitted ho was bound over to answer. When arrested lie had on his person a furlough for John litenningd, of the 104th Regiment, P. V. He refused to give any necomit of himself, but it is believed that he represents the name on the furloughs though it is not the name he gave to those whom he attempted to swindle. A question has been raised as to the payment of those volunteer: , reported missing at the termination of an en gagement. A correspondent says: After the publication of the names of the prisoners at Richmond, and of those known to bare been killed at the battle of Ball's Bluff, a manbcr were still unaccounted for, and were supposed to have been left dead, unrecognizeth upon the field oh strife, or to have met a watery grave. Does their pay cease from the date of the battle, supposing their fate should never be known, and can a settlement of their affairs be effected ladle they are still missing, but supposed to be dead, and yet no positive proof of their death existal The recent order of Governer Vurtin, directing that all incomplete companies and regiments must be filled by the Pith of January, or be consolidated with other regiments, has given a new impetus to the recruiting business in our city, as there are several incomplete regiments in the vi cinity. Colonel Lyle will, no doubt, have his regiment raw before the limo specified aid Colonel Jones, whose regiment is encamped near Roxkorough, has likewise great expectations of a similar good lot tune. Since the first of May last, there have been distributed by the Soldiers' Aid Committee of St Peter's Church, 288 Pray - flannel shirts, 62 red flannel shirts woollenapl shirts, 101 pairs of drawers, 696 pairs of socks, 85 pairs of mittens, 119 pairs of slippers, 126 pillow cases, €126 havelocks. besides various other articles, chiefly de. signed for sick soldiers. Donations in money or goods May be left at northeast corner of Pine and Fourth its. EPISCOPAL INTELLIGENCE.—A central Epis copal reliti runciution tot- the tick andwounded , of the army has just been organized in Grace Church, at Twelfth and Cherry streets, of which the Rev. Dr. tiuduards is the rector, and the first meeting of ladies residing in that section of the city took place yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock. The association has been organized for the pur pose of &tipplyiiig math romfert4 le the troops at the hos pital at Broad and Cherry streets, as will not be afforded by the i „Government. The collections made in the carious Episcopal diuretics on Thanksgiving Day, for the benefit of toe Episcopal 1E1,4,0W, uhi,,ithted ht $1,824.87. The largeet collection made was at St. Peter's Church, the amount being $284. St. Luke's contributed $151.12; St. Andrew's $112.30; St. James' $154.78, and F t. Paul's $105.05. The contributions for the election of a memorial church to Bioko VOttlinan now amount to V 3,803,71, THE RAILROAD ON MASTER STREET.—The following resolutions were adopted at a meeting of the re sidents of Master street opposed to the laying of a railroad track upon that thoroughfare ; Whereas, The Piorth fenntorlYania Railroad Company have assumed the right to construct a railroad for the transportation of coal on Master street. one of the princi pal thoroughfares in the city of Philadelilla, teed th.P.by ruining the property of citizens residing in said street' and it being a matter of pecuniary interest to the said railroad company, without any advantage to any other portion of thccitimo of riliMeletia j and the said street being tee narrow to admit of any obstruction except for the purpose of ordinary travel, the street being but fifty feet wide: therefore, Resolved, That we will oppose, by all legal means, the coast'. action of a railroad on Meeter street, as by itscron. etruction the chlize of pkettetly would be depreciated at leastfifty per cent. Resolved, That, in additicn to the inj try to property on said street. there are no less than three public schools lo cated .n the portion of Master street intended far said railroae, thereby endangering the lives of thousands of children of citizens residing in that vicinity. EMBALMING THE DEAD.—This art is now be ing into rtsonsition by the war, and several of our city undertakers have recently practised it with much success, while most of the officers, and not a few of the soldiers, who hare fallen in battle or by disease in camp, have had their bodies preserved nod sent kW le their friends for burial by this process. The system pursued is said to be that of the celebrated Suceuet, of Paris , which consists in injecting a powerful antiseptic which MOD hardens [ha times to a marblelline bubo's= and perfectly preserves the color and features, while keeping the body free from all offensive odor. FOB THE VOLUNTEERS.—A . commendable movement has just been brought to our notice. A spe cial ineetihy, of the Boise Hose Company was held on Monday evening last, when a committee, consisting of Messrs. Benjamin Levy, D. Kennard, and J. H. Stahl, was appointed to invite a similar committee from each company in the Fire Department, to unite for the mar nOßA of taking measures to lit Id a ball for the benefit of the Cooper-Shop Refreshment Salo m. The delegates will meet at the Humane Hose Hall, on Tuesday eve ning; January 7, 1862. TIIY. CITY LOAK.—NOIIO were more jubilant than our school-teachers upon learning, as they did yes terday, that the Mayor had signed the loan bill of $1,200,- 000, which passed Councils at their last meeting; but un der the present state of affairs, it is likely that none of it will L. put in the meek& The Mayes end the 101fillhee Committee have the power to sell or hold on to it. War rant holders, therefore, much to their regret, will have to wait a little longer before obtaining theirmonoy from the imam. THE KENSINGTON POST OFFICE.—At a meet ing of the citizens of Kensington opposed to the removal of the sub-post office from that district, held Oh Wednes day evening, a resolution was adopted appointing a cont• mittee of live for the purpose of representing to the Postmaster General of the United States the facts bearing in the case of the Kensington Past Office, and to repre sent the absolute necessity for the existence and continu ance of the ISPE46ht pest ales as a diatlast nud MNINIIf4I PBlftbli4bintht. MEETING IN REFERENCE TO THE ENGLISH TnonitLE.—A rather intemperate call has been circa• lated for a town meeting to consider our difficulties with Ilioulent. The effort had been made once before, but failed. The call states that the undersigned, desirous of eliciting vino public expression of opinion, call upon the Irish citizens of Philadelphia, without respect to creed Or party, to unite in town meeting in expression of their ab horrence of Great Britain's conduct, and their faith that the Vetted States Government will never relinquish the ambassadors of the rebel Government. A FLOURISHING ORGANIZATION.—The Penn gylvapia goi:!cuitlirat Society have leased a m u lit the southwest corner of Broad and Walnut streets, for the purpose of bolding their monthly exhibitions of fruits and flowers; The library of the society is valuable, and contains many rare works on Horticulture and kindred sublects. Heretofore it has been almost inaccessible to tht. MeMbers, besidea being sulkiest to iiijimy from damp ness. The room will probably be opened for the use of members every Tuesday evening. PtligoßAL.—Colatiol J. G. Wittak, the gal lant commander of the California Regiment (now the Se venty-first Pennsylvania), has arrived in this city. He is fast recovering from' the effects of his painful wounds received at DuMsff.

The repugnance of most patients to iSOD-LIVEIL OIL, and the inability' of many to take it at all, has in duced various forms of disguise for its administration that are familiar to the Medical Profession. Some of them answer iu spectra eases, but more often the vehicle neutralizes the usual effect of the Oil, proving quite as unpalatable and of ICOF therapeutic value. The repug nance, nausea, Itc., to invalids, induced by disgust of the Oil, is entire.y obviated by the use of our CAPSULES. COD.LITEII OIL CAPSULES haw) been mull mad lately in Europe, the experience there of the good re sults from their use in both hospital and private practice, aside from the naturally suggested advantages, are ant- Pelept to warrant our claiming the ViltUoEl we do for them, feeling assured their urn will resitin benefit and deserved favor.
