THE CITY.
Celebration of Washington's Birthday
XEETINGS, PROCEMIONO, ILLITMINATIONd.
To-morrow, by a fortuitous Concourse of events, will
Le celebrated as the birthday of the Father of his Coun
try, and as a period of great military successes, achieved
gir our brethern in arms. Celebrations will be held in all
the Northern cities, and in the capital city of the Repub
lic. The Farewell Address of our first and best chief will
La read to she hundred thousand soldiers, to Congress,
and to the Legislatures of all the Stelae. The home sol
diery, and these that bore the brunt of a thee months'
ampaign, will parade, by order of the Governors of the
atates—and in most of the loyal cities the leading citizens
Wrill assemble to revive the bellowed recollections of our
Mevolution, and the peace, prosporty, and happiness that
Succeeded It. At night, bonfires will light np the sky,
end illuminations will take place. In fact, it la desired to
snake the occasion a memorable one, which shall be re
ferred to in history as an indication of the gladness of the
land.
The arrangements for the celebration In this city have
snot been made in a generous spirit, either by public or
bodies,
There has been no recommendation fora general illu
suination, although that would constitute one of the
cheapest and most elective means. At the same time, a
great number of private dwellings, particularly upon the
bodies thvreushfares, will bo 1411641 In every htert.
Neat of the 'proprietors of large mercantile establishments
and manufactories have taken measures to secure
illumi
mations of their properties, and all the engine houses, the
ermones, and many of the hotels will also be lit from the
eves to the pavement. Independence Hall, we hoPe, will
be lidakied, as that old fano of liberty should not bo dark
golltary, and unnoticed in this season of patriotic re
joicing. With a very little trouble and expense every
dwelling and store upon Chestnut street may be made
radiant, so that the street will be as bright at midnight as
by day, and the whole city may throng it for recreation
sad wonder- 11 our Pennsylvania temperainent is not
ton staid and apathetic for apprecbstion and rejoicing.
this. of all days, will be pawed hilariously, and with a
Cull abandonment of business and the more sordid affairs.
It is proposed that - the stores be closed in the afternoons,
In order to give employees of every description opportn
pity to enter into the pleasures of the day.
Bi mars. Earle & Co. have prepared an immense and
Very bandsome transparency to do boner to the eels-
Ibntion of Washington's birthday. It is allegorical in
its character, representing the relative effects of quiet
end anarchy in the contending sections of our once
'happy country.
On one side of a quietly-lowing riser Is seen Secesela
in detail, with fields laid waste and team' given over to
clot and flames, with esinies whose weight and disorgard
notion make• them destruCtive to themselves, and with
crowds of turbulent and starving poorare pointed out
Intronttitt the evil results of the ambitious folly of the
rebels.
On the other hand weans a people whose energies have
ratenerted their dignity and might, and produced their
Wanks in full granaries, prosperous cities, and a thriving
'populace. We almost hear the busy hum of the factory
-wheels, and the sound of the hammers in our Pei:may've
zda forges. In the crowded marts of Northern trade we
catch glimpses of the ships whose sails whiten every sea,
and see the fountain beads of the arteries of commercial
'Power whose throbs agitate the world.
Over all is the beneficent spirit of the Father, of his
Country. At the top of the picture is the eagle of America
clasping our nag.
The buildings on the north side of Chestnut street will
be Edited, and also the splendid stores of Bailey, Sharp.
lase, and others. It is to be hoped that the Continental
]motel will be lit likewise. A number of transparencies
'will be exhibited.
©The Arcb-street Theatre will bo illuminated on Ss
turday by a splendid transparency. Mrs. Drew intends
to express herself unmistakably for the glorious victory
Jo Tennessee, and her loyal efforts heretofore have found
ptiatilar embodiment. We naderatand that the transpa
rency is of the beet character and beautifully designed.
At a meeting of the members of the Corn Exchange
211aeociation, held yesterday, a resolution was submitted
$y Mr. Archibald Getty, end unanimously agreed to,
latlthorizing the closing of the room ani store. The hall .
Will be illuminated in the evening.
We learn that the Board of Trade has made arrange
ments for the illuminatien of their spacious building on
/Chestnut street, near Fifth. The banks will likewise be
lighted on the north side of Chestnut street, below Fifth,
said the various newspaper offices on Third street and
Chestnut street. All the leading palatial boarding.
arouses on Chestnut street, between Tenth and Ninth,
twi/1 be lighted, and those that fail to avail themselves of
the distinction will seem gloomy and uninhabited.
The Unien Refreshment Saloons and flagstaffs will be
illuminated, and in Germantown and in other tarts of the
city considerable display will be made.
We notice an advertisement of an economical candle
pitick, which will enable all to make a cheap but effective
display. A lath pierced with holes for the insertion of
candles, or even the light.ng np or the gas-jets in all the
'dories of a dwelling, will make a pleasant illumination.
General Pleasanton and General Patterson have Aral
'upon the following route of parade for Saturday: The
mill ary, which will probably number ten thousand, will
form on Broad street and more out Pine to fifteenth, up
Fifteenth to Walnut, out Walnut to Eighteenth, up
Eighteenth to Arch, down Arch to Twelfth, down Twelfth
to Chestnut, down Chaninut to Ninth, down Ninth to
Walnut, out Walnut to Broad, where the parade will be
`dismissed. a
THE TICTORIES IN TILE SOLDIERS' HOSPITALS.
It is to be hoped that our citizens will bear in mind the
ionditioa of nearly Ore hundred patients in the military
oepltals of this city. These poor fellows are sabering
frith fevers, consumptions, debilities, and wounds, and
t iming attentions will be most gratefully appreciated by
th em . They are in want of light reading, imaginative
works, periodicals, etc„,. afany.of them wouldbe speedily
"'rived if condiments, fruit, preserves,' etc., were in their
lath. They have inherited these diseases through
Patriotic zeal, and should net be forgotten in the midst
A tf the general delight.
We passed some hours yesterday among these poor
fellows, end feund them anxiously intent upon the war
mews from the West. Indeed, many of them, attributed
their liveliness and in vigaration to the exhillarating effect
of the news from Roanoke, Donelson, and Arkansas.
Shore who could walk or sit, were conversing in groups
Inpon the probable results of the victories, and several
were bewailing the fate that had made them infirm while
Stith glorious fighting was being enacted upon the field.
s' Who wouldn't rather die out there," said one, " rather
than mope and suffer here." The largest of these hospi
tals are located at Broad and Cherry streets and at Fifth
and Buttonwood streets.
The soldiers of the war of 1812 will also celebrate the
anniversary of the birth of Washington on Saturday.
Their meeting -will be held in the Nisi Prins Court room
at 10 o'clock A. M.
CELEBRATION AT MN ACADEMY,
If the building can be obtained, the celebration of the
VW, by Councils, will be held at the Academy of Music.
There iadetile doubt that the place can be obtained. We
'understand that a platform will also be erected in frrnit
of the Academy. from which the Mayor and the Governor
will review t 1 military.
Last-night a large and enthusiastic mass meeting was held
st the Town Hall, Gtrinantows, relative to the celebration
of Washington's birthday. It was unanimously agreed
that one hundred guns should be fired at snnris 3 on the
'property of the rebel Kasen, all the bells to be tolled, and
at night a grand illumination.
THE NEW F. C.H OOL HOUSE IN THE
WUTRENTH IVA no --The old Councils appropriated
*15,000 for the completion of the new school home, at
lwentieth and Coates streets, in the Fifteenth ward—
the work to be done under the supervision of the Com
mittee on Schools and the Sectional Board. The plan was
for a rough-cast house. but it was ohanged to that of
stone, the constructor, it is said, agreeing to do it for the
same price; but now that the Maildingis nearly completed,
It is found that some 810,000 or 815,080 more will be re
cruited to pay bills for extra work. The following extra
Pills have been presentel: For droning corners and other
wu 1,1010 i plumbing, 8810.78 gas pipes, Ac., g234.3tii
furnaces, IftillBB9. The act of Assembly of. April 21,
1868, says: "That no debt or contract hereafter in
curred or made shall be binding upon the city of Phila
delphia, unless authorized by law or ordinance, and an
appropriation snitieient to pay the same bo orevionslY
onadely Councils: Provided, That persons claiming un
authorized debts or contracts may recover against the
Istvan or persons illegally tanking the Mae." Therefore,
sal persons who have been employed to do work which
soma not named in the contracewill have to look to par
ties ordering the Finite for pay, as we understand that
the members of Councils intend to vote down all proposi
gionn for paying bits not authorized by them.
rA 'LOUSE Or CORRECTION.—The aet
Assemblyto establish a House of Correction in the
city of Philadelphia, which was passed in March, 1.860,
provides that, as 60011 as the site, plans, and estimate are
approved, the managers shall certify the same to the
3tlayor and Councila and that the Councils Irons time to
lime, as necessary, shall have autholity to cause to be
'borrowed tiPea /Cam a sufficient sum of money to defray
the expenses of the site and building. A statement was
made to Councils a month or two after the passage of the
act, since which tin e no action has been taken on the
matter. The establishment of a House of Correction has
long been needed, and it would be the means of saving
go the city thousands of dollars annually.
THE COOPER•SHOP REFRESHMENT SA
atoog.—lt was recently stated that the hospital attached
to the Cooper-shop Refreehment Saloon contained mile
'Jane beds. Yesterday we visited this institution, and
Snstead of one hospital found two, both attached to the
leooper.abop Saloon, one of which contains sixteen bed
'Kid the other eleven. The beds are arranged aho at
three feet from each other,-thus affording, in case of ne
se amity. ample room for more. The visiting physician,
Mr. Andrew liebingsr, is very regular in his attendance,
land when required, may be found night and day at his
'post. He has raised five or six soldiers who were at
tacked with typhoid fever and whose lives were despaired
-of. The previous statement relative to this institution

RAILROAD ENTERPRIsE.—When the
history of this war comes to be written, transportation
will not be the least important chapter. Former military
advances on this continent were made by marches, slow
or forced, upon old-fashioned turnpikes or sand roads.
Our columns move now by the power and with the swift - -
Pee, of atatwi Ana the railroads that co...set dia great
dietficts of agriculture or manufactures are the great
military roads whereupon thousands of soldiers travel.
One of the roads to which particular reference must bo
made is the Philadelphia and Baltimore; the other the
Camden and Amboy. The latter road has always been
characterized by management at once the most enterpri
sing and the most economical. Its capitalists have de
veloped the natural resources of Now Jersey, and made
of the wildernesses of that State fruitful farms and beau
tiful towns. Indeed, the later internal improvements of
New Jersey have all drawn their means and vigor from
the wealth of the Camden and Amboy Company. Before
the war, the road was working vigorously, and was one
of the most profitable properties in the New World ; but
since the breaking out of hostilities its enterprise has
been manifested in the prompt transportation of millions
of money and freight Not an accident of note has
occurred while some two hundred thousand troops
have passed over the line, and although the wharves at
the Battery, at Amboy, at Camden, and Philadelphia
have been, for many months, laden with borate, baggage,
cannon, moles, and horses, and a thousand valuable tu
diepeneables, no loss has yet happened to either the cor
poration or the Government. We passed Amboy ono
day last week and beheld the largo ferry steamers
efeasfied with freight and all the gangways think with
boxes and barrels. The sidings were lined with care,
quartermasters and aids were going to and fro, and most
of the transportation operations of a powerful Govern
ment were being enacted. Here were mortars that, a
mine th,lience, will;caet fire• globes through miles of atmos
phere, and muskets that will be dropped In the tottering
retreat, or Clubbed 111 the desperate charge_ Horses
pawed the sand—full-mettled, sinewy creatures—that
will gallop riderless, but full of the frenzy of war, into
the jaws ef death. All the accoutrements of a campaign
were strewn around, and one• might study the manage
ment of the war from its surrounding implements. These
valuable material, are forwarded Southward without de
lay, and so largely luse the business of the Amboy branch
ir , CrraiNd that ordinary passenger travel ()Ver the route
Is almost suspended, the Brunswick line being wholly
given up to merchandise aud the regular travel. The
road,in question owes its efficiency to the energy and far
sightedness of its controllers, of whom Vincent L. Brad
ford, Esi., and Wm. B. Gatsmer, Esq., are the main
Philadeltiluans. The Baltimore road has not been lees
Prominent, and a chapter in the history of the rebellion
may be gathered from the blackened and charred piles at
the Bush and the Gunpowder. Of these matters, we
shall, ere long, have more to say.
REVIVAL OP SPORTING MATTERS IN
PHILADELPHIA.—The affairs pertaining to sportsmen
will probably receive unusual attention in the spring, as
an effort will be made to make the track uncommonly at
tractive by the offering of heavy prizes jro the beet trot
ting and pacing horses.
We perceive that Mr. John L. Cassady, a well known
friend of the horse, intends to inaugurate the spring
sports in this city, and gives the details of his plan in the
lest number of Wilkes' Spirit. He says: propose
commencing at Philadelphia with a stake for three-year
olds, mile heats; $2OO subscription, $6O forfeit; six er
more entries to fill the stake; second best to receive back
his stake; track to add g 2.50, if or more start.
"Senn Day.—Purse 8220, two miles out; free for all
ages. Horses that have won in Kentucky at the Spring
Meeting to be excluded front starting for this purse.
SECOND Day.--Stake for two-year-olds, one mile out;
$lOO subscription, $25 forfeit ; five or more to fill the
stake, second best to save his stake; track to add $lOO if
two or more start.
g„,,.
.9508, two-mile heata fru, for
all ages; entrance money on all purses Bye percent., to
go to second best.
, t THIRD DAY —First Race.—Purse $2OO, one mile
out, for three-year-olda: winner of three-year-old stake
on Erst day to be excluded from starting.
4 . Second Race.—Phree $5OO, mile heats, beet three in
fire free for all ages.
DOTIATtI Div.--Purea $l,OOO, three-mile heats; free
for all agee.
Here, at Philadelphia, I propose to giro, in purses,
the sum of $2,800. Add to that $l,OOO for incidental ex
penses, such as printing, getting the track in order, bed
ding for horses, assistance, &c., brings it up to $3.800.
Indeed, $4,000 will, in all probability, come much nearer
the mark. The same estimate will probably answer for
/beton ; while in New York, where ;I propose to 14Y0 a
handicap, and add $5OO, with some little increase on the
purses, the purses. and expenditures would be fully
P 5,000; and if there was a four-mile day, it would be
$1,500 more."
TAVERN LICENSES AND CLASSIFICA
TION.—A number of bills, intended for posting about the
city, haye been printed by the City Conuniesioners, set
ting forth the provisions of a recent act of .the Legisla
ture relative to tavern licenses and the classification of
hotels, inns, and taverns. It is held that all hotels, inns,
and taverns shall be classified and rated according to the
estimated yearly sales of liquors authorized to be sold
therein, or iu the house intended to be occupied for such
purpose, as follows—to Avit!
In all cases where the estimated yearly sales shall be
$lO,OOO or more, such hotel, inn, or tavern shall be rated
as of the first class, and the sum to be paid for license
shall be $5OO
When more than $B,OOO and less than $10,050, as
second clams, and pay 250
When more than $6,000 and lest than 0,000, as
third class, and pay 150
When more than $4,000 and less than $6,000, aa
fourth class, and pay 100
When more than $2,000 and less than $4,000, as
fi.th class, and pay 60
Provided, That in Philadelphia no such license shall
be granted for a lees sum than $5O.
It is further provided that no person who keeps in his
store or wareroorn any hognbeads, stand-casks, or li q uor
pipes, or who keeps a grocery store, shall receive license
to vend intoxicating liquor by less measure than one
quart.
The bill also enacts that, in Philadelphia, all applicants
for license to sell intoxicating liquors, by any measure
lees than a quart, shall appear before the commissioners
of Skid city, during the month of March, and make and
sign an oath or affirmation of the amount of their re
ifFectlve sales of liquors and other refreshments at their
respective hare, to the beet of their knowledge and belief.

MAGNIFICENT TRANSPARENCY YOR THE ILLtr
mmerrosr.—smeo a grand Inuraination—conmemorktive
et the birth of Waahington, and expressive of the gene
rat joy over our recent victories—hag been determined
upon, we are glad to find that preparations for its ob
servance are being made liberally by our business men
and others. The more general these preparations are,
the more effective will be the display. Some of the de
vices upon transparencies, we ffave reason to believe,
will be at once liberal, attractive, and appropriate.
Messrs. James S. Earle & Son, with their usual good
taste and public spirit, have now, in course of prepara
tion, an allegorical transparency of large size, depicting,
with artistic effect, the terrible retribution which treason
has entailed upon the South, in contrast with the com
parative halMinegit and prosperity of the loyal North.
The details of this immense picture are admirably intro
duced to tell the intended story, and, when illuminated,
it will be an improvised work of art that will attract
the gaze of thousands. We hope . this spirit—of con
tributing to the interest and glory of that occasion—will
be general; and that Philadelphia will, en Saturday night,
present a spectacle of united and enthusiastic loyalty
that will be spoken of to her honor by our children's
children.
SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHILDREN'S
Hosrivas..—We have to acknowledge the receipt of the
Sixth Annual Report of the. Board of Managers of the
Children's Hospital, a modest but praiseworthy institu
tion, located at Nos. 408 and 410 Blight street. Blight
street runs from Pine to Lombard street, east of Broad.
The report states that seventy-one cases have been
treated in the house during the year, the benefits of the
institution being mainly exerted outside, as would appear
from the fact that during the same period the number of
outdoor patients bas been 1,704, an excess of 2.86 over
those of the previous year. The visits to the dispensary
of the hospital have also greatly increased, -the whole
number ministered to in this way being given at 5,699,
against 3,516 the year before. The receipts from con
tributions within the last twelve months, including lite
members, have been $968. The project of erecting a new
hospital building has been, for the time being, suspended,
and the funds which have been contributed towards that
object, amounting to $3,035, have been judiciouslf
invested The expenditures for the past year are stated
at $1,816.68. We may state that contributions for this
benevolent institution can be sent to Mr. hf. P. Henry,
treasurer, No. 416 Walnut street.
As the beneficent labors of this hospital are confined to
sick and Buffeting children, our liberal citizens, who are
interested in the physical well-being of little folks, should
not overlook the above in contributing to the aid of churl-
able inatitutioue
Miss Dn FORCE will Lecture at Musical Fund

THIS EVENING'S LECTURE S at Concert Hall,
by Dr. Charles r. Krauth, will be one of special interest
to every patriot and peculiarly appropriate to our times.
The exercises of the evening will also be enlivened by the
national airs., and other appropriate music, from the
Germania Orchestra.
ERRATUM.—In our report, on Tuesday, of
the meeting of the Philadelphia Sabbath-school Associa
tion, we were made to say that this Association 66 bad
been instrumental in establishing in this city about one
hundred Sunday schools, numbering some six hundred
scholars." We should have said six thousand scholars.
A GREAT BATTLE will be fought to-morrow !

FINE SMOKED SALMON AND MESS MACKE
IIEL.—Mr. C. 11. Mattson, dealer in fine groceries, Arci
and Tenth streets, has just received a fresh supply of
elegant smoked Salmon i also Mess Mackerel of a supe
rior Quality. 7he latter are put up iu neat packages to
snit customers. We may state that all goods bought at
Mr. Mattion's store are delivered in any part of the city,
or packed and sent to any of the railroad depots, free of
charge.
CELEBRATION OF WASHINGTON'S BIRTH.--.
To-morrow the anniversary of the birth-day of Washing
ington will be appropriately celebrated throughout the
country. In this city salutes will be fired, there will be
a grand military turnout, and the day generally will be
observed as a holiday. The members of the Legisla
ture hays agreed to meet is Independence Hall, where
the condition and affairs of the country will be discussed.
The city will be crowded with strangers many of whom
will avail themselves of this golden opportunity to visit
the fashionable Clothing Temple of Granville Stokes, No.
609 Chestnut street, and there view the finest, cheapest,
and most varied assortment of seasonable garments ever
offered for sale.
