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 jil/d » report i-ccommowiliig fho introduction of water into Ball street, Kensington which whs finally adopted. Mr. Ginnodo, from the special committee on cleansing the btreets, reported a resolution authorizing the High ivav Dupartmont to make a contract for twft meatha with K. A Smith, to cleanse the streets, ftc., at $6,000 a month, hy use of machines, tho work to bounder the su pervision ot the Mayor and the committee of Councils, mm to he done at night-time. The money to be paid wliti) the work ia dem?. sir. F*'X thought there should he some penalty attached to Uto hill, in case rhe work waa not properly done. 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. The bill passed finally.- An ordinance was introduced directing the Chief Com misdMier of IlJ'hwrtv*, to notify the Delaware Market Compauy to remove the arch roof over Water etreet within six mouths alter the passage of this ordinance. [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. These are twenty-three in number, aa follows: 1. An ordinance relative to bridges belonging to the corporation. 2. To prohibit the erection of wooden buildings. 3. To provide stands for the sale of charcoal. 4. Relating to the Department of City Commissioners atd the Board of Revision. 5. Prescribing the powers aud duties of tho City Con troller. 0.

Providing for the appointment of the standiug com* m.tteee ot Councils. 10. Relating to departments. 11. Relating to the Department of Market Houses and Wharves ami Landings. 12. Regulating the construction of furnaces and cliim* iieys for steam engines. 13. Relating to the Department of Highways. 14. Relating to markets. 15. Relating to nuisances. lt>. To license and regulato pawnbrokers 17. Relating to penalties. 13. Bt-iaiing to special policemen. 10. Relating to railroads. 2 >. i elating to the Department of Surreys. 21. Relating to the Water Department. , 2%. Stinting to ibe distribution and use of water. 23. Repealing ordinances already existiug ig Wililtot vjth tl»t> uliove. Each ordinance was read separately, and passed, which occupied much tiaie. Tire further consideration of the ordinances was post poned for the present. Tlio hill from Common Council making an appropria tion to thu Board of Controllers for tha year 13Li2 was then taken up. A motion was made to strike out the item placing cer tain restrictions on the expenditures of the Board. Mr. Wktmeisill hoptd not. 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. Agreed to. Mr. OI'VLKB offered a further amendment requesting the City Controller to withhold his signature from ail warrants issued by the Board prior to the passage of this hill. Mr. Wallace moved to increase an item making an appropriation of $3OO for repairs to $5OO. Tlit bill ns fHimtdei was then lassed. The ordinance preventing the sa’tiug of railway tracks was celled for, and a motion made to make It the special order of the day for the next meeting. This was agreed to finally. Mr. Craig offered a resolution that a joint special committee of five bo appointed to extend the bospUtli* tieß of the city ro Parson Brownlow, who is shortiy ex p>ctod to pass through Philadelphia. Mr. Fox wonted to know what was meant by the word hospitalities ” Mr Craig replied that he did not intend that the money should bo expended for dinners, Ac., as was done celebration of Birthday. 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. Tlio bill passed finally appropriating 8250 for this pur pose Tho resolution from Common Council asking the Major to rtturu a certain bill was concurred in. The bill appropriating money to pay deficiencies to the Boaiii of Controllers was paeied. The resolution from Common Council relative to cleat sing the streets w as ngi eed to. Aleo, the lull to build a bridge on Caster road, in the Twenty-third ward. Also, the bill to grade Tioga street, near Richmond street. Also, to pave Richmond street, between Front street and Fraukford road, Also, the MU to appropriate $5OO, to place fire-alarm boxes in fhe houses of the Hope and Philadelphia Steam- Fire Engine Companies, and in the office of the Chief Engineer. The bill to appropriate $5,000 to pay certalu deficiency bills for tho year 1801, was referred to the Highway Committee. Council went into Committee of the Whole on the bill making an appropriation to the City Commissioners, Mr. Ford in the chair. After a short discussion in regard to the items appro priating one thousand dollars to each of the charitable institutions, the Northern and Southern Home? for Friendless Children, the St. Jolm’B Orphan Asylum, and the St. Vincent’s Home, the committee rose and asked leave to sit again, which was granted. Adjourned. COMMON COUNCIL. The Chief Engineer or the Fire Department submitted his sixth quarterly report. It Bhows that, sluce tho first of January, 1802, the number of fires has been 97.

Dr. Sjtkc* -wat, opposed to the passage of the ordinance, till every member of Council could have aq opportunity to go to Blochley and personally inspect tho condition of the present copper roof. For himself, he should not ob ject to the fatigue of mountir g the various flights of stairs kmliiig to the almshouie roof; Mr. Fit kkm an stated that copper was daily fulling in price, ami if the matter was de ayed for two months the almshouse roof would not fetch one half ol the sum it would if sold to-day. 3!r. Ckksswkli. defended the members of the Board of Gu&idiaua against the aaporslons on the* aharAMOM made by other numbers of Council. He believed that the Guardians were as houest aa any body of men having charge of any department in the city. Dr. Bitks opposed the erection of the new children’s l asylum, and used as an argument tho fact that C:>.sar did | not doubt the loyalty of the Senators who stabbed him. | The coriflUler&tion of the ordinance was postponed for one j week. ; The Committee on Claims reported an ordinance to j pn>- certain claims against the city, and to appropriate 1 $5OB.

' Sir. LhnniLiy threatened that, If this item was not agreed to, the others would be defeated. Sir. I*..M;r;nu took occasion to pitch into the Mayor of Hip oily, briteviufl that he had fallen from his high estate ! in placing his veto on tho bill from partis in motives. ! He f-aid a great dial more that would te’l well iu certain ;. circles, but for which we have no space. The speech was I a of tolitico* religious one. J Mr. Catiei.l defended the Mayor. He soul that that gentleman, although a member of the Episcopal Church* hod vetoed a bill appropriating money to the Episcopal Hospital. He did not believe that the Mayor was actu ated by partisan motives. The item was agreed to. The committee rono and reported the bill* with amend ments, after which it was passed finally. Dr. Situs offered a resolution authorizing the Depart ment ot Highways to continue the cleaning of the streets till the first day of May. Mr. BAn per believed that at present the cleaning of lhA felfeeh* la co-lt»£T the city the rate of $266,000 per annum. Be said he knew that a gentleman lmd offered to clean the city free of cost, and had been denied the privilege. lie believed that there was a big job in this busineF*. Dr. Sites undertook to vindicate the Highway Depart ment, although no member had attacked thorn. He had spent last Sunday iu searching for cloan streets and had found many. Mr. Le«ch did not believe there were more than two squares iu the city that were clean. These were in Third street, below Arch, and in Chetitllllt Strict, ttbOYO Second, and there the work was done by the merchants. Dr. SiTf.fi replied at length, but was obliged to ask the chair several times to call the Chamber's attention to what he was saying.

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.

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.
