SPEECH OF HON. W. E. LEHMAN, CP PENNSYLVANIA, tJs’IHS IIM>K OF RRrKESEXT.WIVKS, APRIL 9, 1862. The bill being up to reorganize the medical department- of the army, Mr. Wallace, of I'enn syivama. moved to amend to authorize fcho Preri dett to select the surgeons and assistants from the rv(Wtvr seiYice a? as the ngtdar army. Mr. Lehman. of Pennsylvania, in support of the amendment, said: Mr. Speaker : X regretted very much to hear the sentiment which pervaded the close of the remarks of the gentleman from Ncvr York (Mr. Steele). X am in favor of the amendment which has been pro posed. I have no doubt it was offered in perfect sincerity by my colleague from Pennsylvania (Mr. Wallace), and not as a bid for popular favor ; cer tainly, it id advocated with entire sincerity by myself. 1 have no disposition to deny the quali fications or the loyalty of the officers of the medi cal department of the regular army, who have given their lives to this arouous service, but gen tlemen will admit that we have had n<> anuy until lately. Our army has, bereWfOrCj 1)8011 trifling in size, and we have been ridiculed by other nations for the smallness of our efficient military force. I will ask the gentleman from New York, (Mr. §teele.) when ho lauds the ability of tiwue oca netted with the medical department of the regu lar army, where they got their experience? Was it at the small stations aud forts upon the borders of our country, where a company or two of regu lars Were stationed, -where There was no hospital, and where, perhaps, the most indifferent and un occupied man was the bead of the medical foree then ? Sir. men in all vocations rust out sooner than they wear out. In this fast age, it requires Constant scfciun io keep up with present advances ; and the medical pTofcs>ion is no exception to this rule. When the present medical force entered the service, medical science was not as it is now. Im provements are being made daily;' and it is neces sary that new books should bo road; new instru. xnents tested; now discoveries examined, in order that ordinary efficiency should be attained in that science. A great army hns been improvised—not of regu lars, not of trained men, but froui civil lift have been called out to support the Government from all the various walks and avocations of life. Go into our army of 000.000 men, and you will find men of all professions and all callings. You will find the lawyer there, and the man of study, and the votary of science, side by side with the mer chant and the mechanic, each vieing with the other in daring the dangers of the field. Most of these men are unused to the toils, privations, and expo sures of a campaign, and they - arc peculiarly liable to those diseases incident to a sudden change of life and climate. It is conceded on all sides that we want the most efficient men in the service of the medical burean. We must supersede the {nsa who Walk and fIIOVC by the strictest rule. It is the curse of the system that we adhere too closely to the regular routine — the red tape—circumlocution order of manage ment. Our hospitals are without the necessary supplies; ther are filled with sick and dying sol diers. who are not properly ministered to merely because rule, and routine, aud circumlocution, and rank, and seniority interfere with duty, and over ride what men of common sense and discretion would remedy on the instant. If we have a large army and great battles, we will need extended hos pitals, and if we would have efficient men to take charge of them we must secure the serrices of phy sicians who have spent their lives and acquired ibeir skill in the hospitals of our large cities—men who know how to build hospitals, how to YSSUlftto Them ; who know how to construct the cooking de partment, and to furnish the soldiers with the most improved couches lor their tortured and suffering frames to repose upon. Therefore, I think, if we are going to institute a reform in the medical de partment, of the army, we should entrust the en lightened and patriotic Chief of this Government, who is to make the appointments, with the widest range of selection. For my own part, without de siring or designing to asperse the professional skill 4? ability of any aurgeoa in the regular army, I most unhesitatingly say that the best men to take charge of tae medical department of the army and the most efficient scientific counsel can be obtained from that noble and honored class of physicians in civil life; far more experienced and efficient than cau be obtained from the limited medical corps of the regular army. Sir, I hope the amendment aud the whole bill will pass. The bill as amended passed the House. Splendid Munificence The following correspondence has been published in the Times of the 20th Maroti : London, March 12,1502. Gektlehitin ; In reference to the intention which it is the object of this letter to communicate, I am desirous to explain that from a comparatively early period of my commercial life, I had resolved in my own mind that, should my labors be blessed with success, I would devote a portion of the property thus acquired to promote the inielleetual, moral, and physical welfare and comfort of my fellow-meu, wherever, from circumstances or loca tion. their claims upon me would be the strongest. 4i A kind Providence has continued me ifl pros perity, and consequently, in furtherance of iny resolution, 1, in the year 1852. founded an institute and library for the benefit of the people of the place of my birlb. in the town of Danvers, iu the Slate of Massachusetts, the result of which has proved in every mpi et most beneficial to the locality and gratifying to myself “ After an absence of twenty years I visited my native land in 1857, and founded, in the city of Baltimore, in the rftate of Maryland, (where more than twenty ye«rs of my business life had been passed}, an institute upon a much more extended scale, devoted to science and the arts, with a free library, coinciding with the character of the insti tution. The corner stone was laid in ISSS, aud the building is now completed, but its dedication has been postponed in consequence of the unhappy sectional differences at present prevailing in the United States. “It is now twenty-five years since I commenced iu7 mid me and business in London as a stranger; hut I did not long feel myself a 1 stronger/ or in a ‘strange land/ for, in all my commercial and social intercourse wiih my British friends during that long period. I have constantly received courtesy, kindness, and eopficknce, Under a sense of grati* tude for these blessings of a kind Providence, en couraged by early associations, and stimulated by my views as well of duty as of inclination to follow the path which I had heretofore marked out for my guidance, I have been prompted for several years past, repeatedly, to state to some of my confidential friends my intention, at no distant period, if my life was spared, to make a donation for the benefit of the poor of London. Among those friends are three of the number to whom I have now the honor to address this letter. To my particular friend, C, M. Lampson, Esq., I first mentioned the subject five years ago. My next conversations in relation to it were held about three years since with my esteemed Iriend, Sir James Emerson Tennent, and with my partner, J. S. Morgan, Ecq. I also availed myself of opportunities to consult the Right Rev. Bishop M'llvuiLe, of Ohio, and with all these gen tlemen I have since freely conversed upon the sub ject in a way to confirm the original intention. 11 My object being to ameliorate the condition of the poor and needy of <his great metropolis, and to promote their comfort and happiness, I take plea* sure in apprising you 1 have determined to transfer to you the sum of £150,000, which now stands available, for this purpose, on the books of Messrs. George Peabody ft Co,, asyou will see by the accompanying correspondence. “In committing to you in full confidence in your judgment the administration of this fund, I cannot nut feel grateful to you for the onerous duties you have so cheerfully undertaken to perform, and £ sincerely hope and trust that the benevolent feel ings that have prompted a devotion of eo much of your valuable liino will be appreciated not only by the present, but future, generations of the people of London. “ X have few instructions to give or conditions to Impose, but there are some fundamental principles from which it is my solemn injunction that those intrusted with its application shall never, under any circumstances, depart. ** First and foremost among them is the limita tion of its use?, absolutely and exclusively, to such purposes as may be calculated directly to ameliorate the condition and augment the comforts of the poor who, either by birth or established residence, form a recognized portion of the population of Lou don. “ Secondly. It is my intention that now, and far all time, there shall be a rigid exclusion from the management of this fund, of any influence calcu- ; laled to impart to it a character either sectarian as I regards religion, ur exclusive in relation to local or j party politics. j u Thirdly. In conformity with the foregoing con- ! dition?, it is xny wish and intention that the sole qualifications for a participation in the benefits of tnis fund shall be an ascertained and continued con dition of life such as brings the individual within the description (in the ordinary a ease of the word) of * the poor' of London, combined with moral character and good conduct as a member of society. It must, therefore, be held to be a violation of my intentions if any duly qualified and deserving claimant were to be excluded either ou the grounds of religious belief or of political bias. u Without, in the remotest degree, desiring to limit your discretion in the selection of the most suitable means of giving effect to these objects, I may be permitted to throw out for your con sideration, aiueng the other projects which will necessarily occupy your attention, whether it may not be found conducive to the conditions specified above for their ultimate realization, and least likely to present difficulties on the grounds I have pointed out for avoidance, to apply the fund, or a portion of it, in the construction of such improved dwellings for the poor as may combine in the utmost possible degree the essentials of healthfulness, comfort, social enjoyment, and economy. “ Preparatory to due provision being made for the formal declaration of the trust, and for its fu ture management and appropriation, the sum of .£150.000 will be at once transferred into your names, and placed at your disposal, for which pur pose I reserve to myself full power and authority; but as a portion of tho money may probably not be required for some time to come, to meet the legi timate purposes contemplated, I would suggest that, as early as possible after the organization of the trust, £IOO,UUU should be invested for the time being, in your names, in consols or East India Stock, Ihlii &ddihg id the capital by means of the accruing interest; and the stock so purchased can be gra dually sold out as the money is wanted for the ob jects designated. Meantime, pending the prepara tion of a formal trust deed, you shall be under no responsibility whatever in respect of the fund, Or it? Investment or disposition. “'With these preliminary stipulations, I commit the fund to your management, and to tbatof such other persons as by a majority of jrour voices you nay elect, giving you the power either to add to your number (which I think should not at any time exceed sine) or to supply casual vacancies occur ring in your body. It is my further desire that the United States minister in London for the time should Always, In virtue of the office, be a member of the trust, unless in the event of hi 3 sig nifying his inability to act in discharge of the du ties. “I have the honor to be, gentlemen, yours very faithfully,' Uso. Pkauody. u To his Excellency Charles Francis Adams, United States minister in London. 41 Right Hon. Lord Stanley, M. P.^ “Sir James Emerson Tennent, IC.C.S,, L.L.C., Ac., London. “C.

Another number wanted to know what had become of the communication of a certain person who offered to cicftntHj the streets by machines, for nothing, for one muiith. Mr Ginnodo replied that it hail been before the com miUee, and received duo attention. Mr. Fox offered, as an amendment: “ IVor/dad, That if, in the opinion of the Mayor, there be auy failure on tl«e part of-the contractor to perforin all the stipulations uf tnid. contract* tilth the Highway Department shall have the right to perform the work, and charge the ex pciice thereof to tne contractor, without prejudicing the rights of the city therein.” After some further debate, tho amendment was agreed to. In answer to a rm'estioiu Mr. Meoahy stated that he witnessed the operation of these machines, and thoy worked v(ry satisfactorily. The machines are so con structed »a to be able to gather up all the dirt between the cobble-stones. A number stated that, at the rate of $O,OOO per month, U would make the sum uf $72,000 per annum, which, eddid to tlic value of the dirf, about $20,000 per annum, would give $92,000 for cleansing the streots of the city. This sum had never before been paid.

[This roof has been declared a nuisance by the Grand leanest; lienee the introduction of the ordinance.] Mr. said this company had roccireil encourage* incut from Councils to erect this roof, and now that the Grand Jury had presented it as a nuisance, which pre sentment ia nor final, wo are going to order it down, not withstanding the groat expense at which the company has been. He thought we should not assume this great responsibility. We should wait for tho courts to do something In the matter. Mr. W RTJtrri i-i- was also opposed to the passage of the ordinance. There had been no complaints from tho citi fccus residing in this neighborhood, and, being some dis taace above the street, it could not possibly impede travel. On motion of Mr. Fux, tho ordinance was postponed iiidafiuitely. fill© committee of conference relative to fixing the tax rate and agreeing to a certain amendment which was of fered by Mr. Fox at a recent meeting, restoring tho al lowance of twelve per cent, per annum for prompt pay ment, aud remitting all the penalties as imposed by thg act of Astembiy of Inst year, reportea in favor of said amendment,'which was agreed to by tho Chamber, [This now settles the tax rate at two dollars in the hun dred, with an allowance at tho rate of twelve per cent, per annum for prompt payment, without penalty.] Mr, Mkimio'j chairman of the special committee of Councils to whom was referred the municipal Code, re potted to Councils by the commissioners appointed by authority of an ordinance approved March 2d, 1859, nuule a report. The committee deemed It advisable to avail themselves of the aid of the commissioners by v hum the code was originally prepared, with a view to a-cutain what modifications therein had become ne ce*?aiy by reason of the lajso of time and additional legislation since the same was originally submitted to Councils, aud having so amended the various ordinances cmbraceu in the code as to adapt their provisions to the changes by oidicarjc?? of the city or acts of Assembly since made, recommend to Councils the immediate pas sage of the various ordinances as necessary to the proper regulation of the several departments of the city govern ment.

Ho said tint-only at thtir last meeting this Board k£d Agretxl to Z33ua war rants, although Councils had not yet passed their appro priations. This hud never been equalled by any of the city departments. Another member said that from what the Controllers said of each ether, It would seem to be to the interests of fclif l cliy to place aannrny re&iricriona as possible on them. The mot li)3i was voted down. Mr. Oi'VLEr offered a proviso expressing strong dis approbation of naming public schools after individuals, especially of those now living, and that the Board of Controllers pass a reflation forbidding this.

Mr. Mkgary moved to amend by extending Inde peT-dtnce Hall to Mr. Brownlow, there to receive the citizens of Philadelphia, &c , which was agreed to. On motion of 31 r. Davis, the resolution was converted into an ordinance appropriating $OOO for this purpose* Long spfcches wore made by many of the members, when Sir. Davls and JBr. Craig both wished to with draw everything they had offered, as they did not think a matter of this kind would meet with the slightest oppo sition. Mr. Me<;auy stroDgly urged the passage of Hie bill. He thought it no morsdUftii proper that this great man* wbo had undergone so many hardships for the ciu.-,e of the I’uion, should receive a handsome reception at the hards of the city of Philadelphia, lie did not care for the expensi—we could not vote away too much for this patriotic purpose.

Adjourned. Destruction of Property by the STORM.—The high M inds and heavy full of snow during Wednesday night and yesterday raorniDg did cmimderablo damage to property in various points of the city. In suine places the enow drifted, and was heaped up so as to ren der a number of the streets ami roads almost impassable. The wind from the northeast blew terrifically. On the Delaware there was a perfect gale, aid the ferry-boats CMieritDced gmt difficulty in making thrir trips bo twiou this city and Camden. Thu high wind, in con nection with the heavy snow, caused a groat destruction of uwnings, Ac., and several sheds about the city were domoliriied. A shed attached to Roussel's mineral water establish ment. on Fnmo street* was crushed bylthu heavy weight of tiic snow. Five wagons wore much broken by tho accident. A son of Mr. Kousstl, who happened to be prceent at the time, had one arm broken, and was se verely injured about the face. About twelve o’clock Wednesday night, a frame build- Itigr, which had been erected at H'enlli aud W ushington streets, by the Welles Home Guards, for drilling pur poses, fell down No person was injured, however. At Second street and C’Oombß’alley tho lower port'on of the front of a building was torn out. The awning had been fastened to the frame work* and the weight of the snow bore tho whole concern, including the bulk wiudow and the doorv ay, to the sidewalk. The storm did not interfere materially with the tele graph lines. Yesteiday all the various lines were work ins well, as usual. The Eastern and Southern mails were detained a very short time behind tiie usual hour, hut the Western mail was considerably behind time. The delay was at some point west of Harrisburg, and it is thought that the storm has been very severe on tho Alleghany mountains. Yesterday the sun shone out brightly, and the snow commenced to disappear as fast as it came. During tho early part of the day the streets over wnicli the railway tracks are laid were completely flooded with pickled slush. But few* of the radroad companies took the trouble to open passages to tho gutters and allow the water to pass off. It the salting of tracks is allowed, the wmpairieß ehsmld compelled to* cut gullets for tho passage of the water. This course has been recommended by the college of physicians. Alleged Overpayment of Duties. —A cn§e <?f ?<??}&iderable infcrwt Imw been occupyieg the attention of the ilnited States Circuit Court, in which an action has been brought against an ex-collector of the customs for the port of v Philadelphia, to recover the amount of an alleged overpayment of duties cn certain woollen goods, which were imported by tho plaintiffs in the years 1855 and 1656 ashlaukcts. Tlie collector classed them as coming under tho head of cloths or coalings, and therefore subjoct to a duty of 30 per cent., blankots beiug only subject to a duty of 20 per cent. The plaiitifls paid this duty under protest, and, failing to obtain a revision of the extra duty on appeal to the Treasury Department, brought this grift, Qu the part Of tho Government, it is claimed that they were coatings, cut up Into blanket shape for the purpose of evading the extra duty. For the purpose of sustaining this view of tho cewa, a number of custom-house appraisers from New York and Philadelphia, most of whom had boon in fhc WPvilCU goods trade for many years, were called, aud testified that, prior to the year 1846, these goods were never im ported as blankets, but in large pieces, as Duflield cloth; and that after the passage of the tarifl' act, they began to make their appearance in the shape of blankets, the only difference being thftt ? instead of coming as pieces of cloth, they were cut up in olanbft size, and had stripes on. Manufacturers were also called, and testified, samples being shown them, that they were cloths, aud net blankets, and they pointed out the difference between them. On* the other hand ■ tluMilatnl iffs called ft number of im porters from this city, and read the depositions of others from other cities, testifying that they were known to the trade, and had been sold as blankets, prior to and since the year 1546, and not cloths. The case is one of consid* rable importance, for its de cision will give or take away from the treasury of the Government hundreds of thousands of dollars. St Georgo T.

Sword Presentation to a Gallant OFFK'HR.—A handsome sword and belt hag been pre sented t-i Lieutenant Geo. W, Kenney. The Lieutenant joined Colonel Baker’s Regiment ut the opening of the Mar. and served until the fatal day of Ball's Bluff. At that battle he stood near the heroic Baker when ft? WM killed, and. In company with a few of hie comrades, bore hU noble leader from the field. Returning to the front of tiie fight, the brave lieutenant was taken prisoner, and, with bis comrades, sent to Richmond, from whence he was recently released. He intends leaving for the seat of war again io ft short time. On Wednesday a nnniberof his friends presented him a haudsome sword aud belt, the former inscribed with words indicating that it was tendered him in memory of his gallantry at Ball’s Bluff. The presentation took place at his father’s residence. Mf. Pfetei Lamb, i& a few-.well-chosen remarks, handed the sword to the Rev. G. D. Carrow, who made the for mal speech of presentation. Mr. Carrow eulogized the American army in felicitous terms. In presenting tho sword, lie pronounced the cause in which it was to bo drawn a holy one, and tho sword as sacred as “ the sword of the Lord and of Gideon;” as sacred as the ml of Mo&es. l< George,” he said. “ your friends are moro than satisfied with you; they are proud of you when they remember Baker and Ball’s Bluff.” Lieut. Kenney made a charmingly modest little speech in accepting tha weapon, and with words which well became him, he pt6h6unc4d his d&toftulcailob, by God'e grace, to boar himsf If in a manner worthy of his late heroic leader, and worthy of the sacred cause in which he was engaged. Among the guests present on the occasion was Sergt. Brown, of Lieut. K.’s company, who fought and was captured by his siiU, and who will again go into action with the gallant Lieutenant; Tue Geeat Minds that Educate US. The Board of Control has not profited by the re cent clamor against it to mend its ways. Much of its time was engrossed on Tuesday with business of a trivial Character, &§, f6i ; example, the selection of a committee to investigate the duties of an assistant at tlio High School. It seems that the German professor there has hired an assistant at his own expense, in order to forward the efficiency of his department. The action of these “Progressives ” is calculated either to remove the ffer* man professor or to retard the study of the German In' tbe High School; or, what is likelier than all, to injure the harmony of the institution and the peace of mind of its Principal. In the same way, a report of the pro ceedings of an investigating committee is being pub lished, at an expense of upwards of a hundred dollars. It i* filled with the so3«P of pupils and teachers who have been suborned to testify as to the character of their Principal. The teachers who were some time ago voted out of this school have been uniformly pro* tent at these investigations: and, to gratify sundry private spleen and scandal, the tax-payers must foot the bills for the publication of a worse than idle document* lu this publication will be printed statements of teach ers inimical to other teachers, and of pupils and profes sors who have testified against their Principal. What will be the friendly relations of these gentlemen iu the school for the future l Important to Metutiers of the Bar, —Judge Read, in the case of Chain et al. vs. Young et ah, a case on the equity side of the court, has entered a de cree dismissing all the exceptions to the answers of the defendants to the complainants’ bill, excepting the sixth, which is so far allowed that the blanks must be filled, and the seventh, which is allowed, unless the name of Samuel F. Godwin is entirely stricken out of the answer. Iu this connection, Judge Read made the following order, which is of importance to members of the bar: “As the exceptions to answers are, under our rules, heard by a judge at Nisi Prius, 1 weald particularly call the attention of tlis bat to the hnihner In which excep tions should be drawn, as slated by Judge Story, in Brooks vs. Byam, 1 Story, C. C. R.3UO: ‘The exceptions should have stated the charges in the bill, and the inter rogatory applicable thereto to which the answor is ad dressed, and then have stated the terms of the answer verbatim, eo that the court, without searching tho Ml! and auswer throughout, might at once have perceived the ground of the exception, and ascertained its sufficiency.’ This rule must be pursued in future ” California Regiment.—The prison ere of the California Regtm nt, iateiy returned from Richmond, are to be formed info throe companies, by Governor Curtin. Captain Francis J. Kefi'er, acting ULder the orders of the Governor, has called a meeting of the men, to be held in Spring Garden Hall, to morrow afternoon, at two o’clock.

Gents.: The renuirkable euro which I have derived freni your method of applying ELECTRICITY, compels mo to thus acknowledge tho great obligations I am un« der to you for snatching me, as it were, from an imme diate death. About two years ago, while a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, I was visited with an attack of para lysis of the lower extremities, which rendered me almost entirely unable to stand upon my limbs. I employed some of tho most ptu'siciitHß to bo found to 'that section, but received no apparent benefit, and after a lapse of about eighteen months was taken with a spasm, which oue of my physicians pronounced a fit of apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from that time before I became the least cocsciona of anything that had trans pired, nor could I concentrate my mind or converse upon atp subject without becoming very visionary and ox cited, until I placed oiyself uuder your valuable treat ment. While in Ohio, and after my friends, my family, and myself had forsaken all hopes of my improvement or re covery, my wife proposod that a visit to the Kast might pcodibly bent fit uie, aud alter consulting with our phy. Bician on the subject, obtained his consent and approval. After my arrivalin Philadelphia’my attention was called to your treatment by a pamphlet handed me by my father, which contained tho names of some gentlemen whom I had been formerly acquainted with, and whoso statements I could rely upon. I immediately made up my mind to place myself under your treatment. I have now been the recipient of four treatments, aud I now feel perfectly Batißfied that I am restored to abound con dition, and I therefore feel it my duty to gratefully acknowledge the benefits which I have received through your treatment. Very respectfully, yours, Ac., WILLIAM H. 3HAIN, apS-st* No 110 South Twentieth street.
