Meeting of Pennsylvanians at Wil
lard's Hall, Washington City,
Large Subscriptions for the Belief of the Sick
and Wounded Soldiers of Pennsylvania
in Hospital in that City;
WASIIINOTON L JIIne 18, 1862
On Tuesday evening last, at eight o'clock, up
wards of one hundred Pennsylvpnians resembled
at Willard's Hall, Washington city, in response to
the following call, which explains itself :
cry - NOTICE.—PENNSYLVANIANS AT
TEN D.—At a meeting of Pennsylvanians residing
in this city, held on Saturday afternoon, the 14th loot.,
the following resolution was adopted :
Resolved,' That Hon. Joseph Casey, lion. John W.
Forney, James Whitehill, D. L. Eaton, and De Wilton
Bathe., Entre , be, and are hereby, appointed a commit
tee to prepare and publish a call for a meeting, to be hall
at an early day, of all citizens of Pennsylvanis, resident
or sojourning In the Fistrict. who 'deelro to 00-operate
in aiding the eick and wounded of that State in the hos.
vitals here. •• • '
Purtment to the above, the; undersigned urgently re
quest all citizens of Pennsylvania residing or sojourning
in this District. together with the Senators and. Repre
sentatives of that State in 00147089, to meet at Willard's
Hell en TUESDAY EVENING, 17th inst., at 8 o'oleok,
to make arrangements for the purpose of carrying into
affect the object of the foregoing resolution.
JOSEPH CASEY, '
JOHN W. FORNEY
D. L. EATON,
JakIItS s WEIITERILL,
• Ds WILTON HAINEd.
Colonel Forney called the meeting to order by
moving that Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, Representa
tive from the Lancaster dietriot, bo asked to preside,
which motion was agreed to.
Dr. William Elder, of Philadelphia, was chosen .
secretary.
. The call of the meeting was read.
Colonel Forney. I would state in reference to
this call, that the idea originated more particularly.
with the gentleman who has special charge of the
interests of our State troops in this City, (Dr. Pa
'eaten.) His duties have been most laborious, and
the recent battles have increased his labors conside
rably. It was at his suggestion that this call was
issued—not for the purpose of acting independently
of the State authorities, but in co-operation with
them. I am: told by those who know more of the
facts than I do,
that there are now some eight hun
dred wounded Pennsylvanians in this oily.
A voice—" More than eight hundred."
Col Forney. A gentleman says more than eight
hundred, and of course that number being larger
in proportion than that of any other State, will re•
quire and demand of us every proper 'effort to al
leviate their sufferings.
Mr. Pearly, of Erie, stated that he had taken
great interest in visiting tho sick and wounded of
the State. They numbered eight hundred and
forty-one in this city, and three hundred and fifty
in Alexandria, making eleven hundred and ninety
one Pennsylvanians in hospitals near us. He was
willing to do his share, and proposed that himself
and six other young men, he was ready to name,
should be appointed by the meeting to carry out ita
object and apply any Money that might be anb,
scribed. He hadbeen at work in the hospitals for
months and weeks, had, written letters for the Sol
diers who were not able to write, apprised their
friends of their whereabouts ' and furnished theta
with such little delicacies es he could supply. He
regarded the plan he proposed as ono which, if oar
ried out, would result in great good.
Hon. Jasper Brady thought that what was want
ed immediately was a record of the names and lo
cation • of the sick and wounded here belonging to'
Pennsylvania. Ho recited a little incident that in-'
eurred last week on a visit he had made to a hos
pital. Having accidentally_ eard that a son'Of ass
old friend in Pittsburg was lying wounded - there, .
he went to the place and found him. H.
MOorehead had already called and generonaly as
stated him. After conversing with him some time,
be bad returned home and seat a letter to his
father detailing his situation, and that evening fur
nished him by his son with some papers and some
little delicacies which hire. Brady thought would
be aoceptable. There happened to be three in the
same room with his friend, and while hie son was
there he heard ono remark,."You are very fortu
nate. You have been here but a few days and
have had two Pennsylvanians to call on you, but I
have been here a long time, and am from New
York, yet no one has visited me." He advocated
that a register of the sick and wounded of. Penn
sylvania should be at once made out, eo that
by looking lover it gentlemen might discover
friends, visit them, communicate, with their fami
lies and render them all possible assistance. The
letter he had written to his friend in regard to his
son brought an answer expressing great relief on
learning w here his son was, and heartfelt gratifica
tion at the feat that he was being - oared for by an
old friend. To visit these unfortunate Pennsylva
nians, and supply their wants, would require a
vast deal of labor, and more than one committee
would be necessary. He understood that at the
Ohio meeting two visiting committees had been ap.
pointed for each hospital, and he suggested this as
a good plan to be followed.
Mr. Wm. A. Cook remarked that he had had the
honor to preside at a preliminary meeting at which
the call for the. meeting was prepored; and it wee
proper to slate that no plan of action was there
adopted, but that the subject was intentionally de
layed for the purpose of bringing it before this
meeting. It admitted of no doubt that the ellhien
ay of the movement would depend upon the cha
racter of the organization. A loose organization
would but imperfectly carry out the design in view,
and he thought it well, in order to makethe under
taking enduring, and secure prompt action, that
a committee be appointed to draft resolutions, and.
select officers from various parts of the State. lie
made ibis motion.
The motion was agreed to.
The Chair appointed Measrs Cook, Forney,
Moorehead, Puleston, and Pearly, as the commit
tee.
Ron. WED. D. Kelley/mid The motionlhat hag
just been made, and action under it, would seem,.
to terminate the business of this evening, nothing
being left for us to do bat to designate a time to
whieh we shall adjourn to hear the report of the
committee just appointed But although I have
not bad time to visit the hospitals, as I should..
have been glad to do, I have had occasion. to see . ...
something of their interior, and it is within my
knowledge that there is one thing remaining that
we may do to-night with great effect. The meeting
is called of residents and sojourners in Washington.
There are, doubtless, a number of Pennsylvanians
in the city not here to-night, who • may be present
at the adjourned meeting on some future day, and
I take the liberty of throwing out the suggestion
which I am about to throw out as one appropriate
to the time and circumstances. Whatever organi
zation we shall make, we will wantinot only. effi
cient persons to work, but we wilt want to supply
those persons with the means of doing good. Money
will be needed for this purpose, and I shall close
my remarks by inviting a subscription this evening
on the part of persons present, each giving as much
as he thinks ho can devote to the cause, and trust.
ing that it will be faithfully applied by the or
ganization when effected. -
I understand, sir, that this meeting has not been
called to supply any deficiencies on the part of our
State. She has, I believe, been doing all that could
be expected at her hands. We have the honor of
having more men in the field than any other State,
and largely more, in proportion to our population,
than any other ; and though in the earlier engage
ments of this war our regiments did not suffer
Much, we 'satinet now complain that our ISOLIB and
brethren have not bad ample chance to distinguish
themselves. From every battle-field come stories
of their valor, their daring, and their sufferings. I
was prepared to hoar that there were a-large number
of Pennsylvanians, sick and wounded, in and about
Washington; but, knowing that our excellent Go
vernor-bad made arrangements for carrying our
sick and wounded to Philadelphia by water—that
easy mode of conveyance for persons in their eon
dition—l confess / was greatly surprised on hearing
that there were so many of them at present in and
about this city. We must remember that these
men are not only sick and wounded and in hospi
tal, but that they aro, most of them, without funds
to provide the little extra comforts which men of.
means in a hotel might procure.
I can recall the gratitude with which a group of
ten or fifteen received from me, a few days ago, a
package of newspapers, p amphlets, Is.. It 80 hap
pened that their arrival in Washington was as yet
unknown to their friends, flOd, accidentally, I was
the first to call upon them. With a little organiza
tion they might be supplied with a great many com
forts at tittle cost, and, they Will be of great value
to them, if supplied in season, as they may be
through such an agency. I had the pleasure lately
of passing a Sunday in one of the most beautiful of.
our agricultural' districts ' in Cheater county, and
there bad been a meeting held in the neighborhood
on Saturday, of which I heard a young man giving
an account to the ladies and his father. They had
met to take measures to relieve the soldiers in hos
pitals, and I learned that nib farmers and their
twives bad been consulting as to what they would
send' to them—what vegetable metar would be
best, what fresh provisions would be acceptable,
and what hospital clothing they could provide.
Their view was confined to the hospitals in and
about Philadelphia, orwithiri the limits of the State.
Now, I have no doubt that if our organization
were perfected, we:could open a correspondenoe
with the people of every county of the State; at
anylrate, with those counties which have railroad or
direct communication with Washington, and that
little local township or county organizations of the
same character as our own would most gladlico
operate with us in providing for the Pennsylva
nians in hospital here, what, they aro preparing to
provide those established nearer their own homes,
,where many of the sick and wounded have.their
kinsfolk and acquaintances around them to minis
ter to their wants. To effect such an organization
as shall be At all efficient, to keep such young men
as the gentleman from . Eri e has shown have al
ready been at work, unknown to us, writing the
letters -of the wounded soldiers,. bringing their.
friends in . Washington to know where they are, .
communicating with their familiee and with gentle
men who have adopted local organizations in the
State, similar to the one I have alluded to, will re
euire.means, and the earlier they can be provided
the better. We can make no draft on the State. We •
ought to make DODO, for her authorities have done
and are doing all that the law would justify them,
and duty pall upon them to do. I have nothing but
commendation for them in that respect: It may be
asked, if we contribute money to-night, who will
take charge of it? Let the officers of the meeting,
already elected, be a committee to take oharge of .
it. Let us hived them, until we aro fully organised,
with a measure of discretion, and if these young
men need funds to continue their labors, let them
have what they need. I propeee that a subscrip
tion list be opened, to give every gentleman an ors
portunity of paying, to-night, such subsoription as
he can'tnake, or of subscribing, and paying at some
future time. w .
The Chair. I understand the motion of the gen
tleman from Philadelphia to be, in substance, that
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1862.
a Finance Committee of font be appointed to col
lett funds.
Mr. Kelley. And that the subscription be at
once opened here, to-night.
The motion was agreed to; and the Chair ap
pointed Judge Kelley, Col. Ball, Col. Forney, and
Mr. Eaton as the committee.
Dr. Elder made a strong appeal to the generosity
of those present in behalf of the cause they had
taken up. Ile suggested that one of the best prao
tical ways of relieving our suffering patriots would
be to apply the money raised in sending as many
of them, as were capable of transportation, to their
homes, or to the interior towns of Pennsylvania ac
cessible by railroad, whore the people were waiting
for, wishing for, and anxious to receive and bestow
every attention and comfort upon them. The hos
pital here was an aggregate and conglomerate of
all sorts of suffering, and the numerous patients
could not receive from official nurses the attention
and care they would experience In families. There
their treatment would be accompanied by the home
feeling—each would feel the luxury of having a
room to himself, and the special and entire atten
tion of -a nurse. - If fifty of the sick wore sent
to Kennett Square, in Chester county, or to Chat
ham, or to other towns and villages 1111 known to most
'of those present, they would be received into pri
vate families, thousands would come forward to act
as nurses, and the soldiers would receive all the
care that could he bestowed upon them if they were
in the midst of their own families. That the
wounded could be moved without danger he knew,
for be bad seen some two or three hundred wounded,
theworstcases, moved from the Ilygeia Elospital,
at Fortress Monroe, on stretchers, placed on trucks
on the railroad, and carried down to the boat,
and had, from conversation with a number of them,
learned that the change did not give them near so
much pain as the morning dressing of their wounds.
Dr. Elder was sure that if such a plan was carried
out it would work well, and the expense would not
be great in carrying the soldiers from. where. Go
vernment transportation ceased to the point where
they 'could be properly cared for. The committee
baying the matter in charge would find it one of
labor, but they would also find it one of such suc
cess and of such refreshing results that they would
be reconciled to the task.
The subscription book being opened, the tablo of
the committee was at once surrounded by an anx
ious throng who pressed forward to get their names
upon the list. In a few minutes upwards of $9OO
was subscribed, and it was as much as the treasurer
could do to take the money in as fast as it was
banded to him.
While this was going on Eon. Wm. E. Lehman
too' the stand and made a glowing speech, which
greatly added to the enthusiasm and increased the
contributions.
The meeting finally adjourned, on motion of Mr.
Eaton, to meet again on Thursday night next, at
eight o'clock.
Peterson's New Novels.
On Saturday, two new novels will be published
by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, both written by
popular female ',authors ; one being Mrs. Eden
Southworth, a Well-knowp American; the other,
Mrs. Colonel Grey, an English novelist, occupying
a high place in the second-class of story-tellers.
Mrs. Soutbworth's recent norels, written in Dag,
land, and touching on English localities, persons, and'
manners, are crowded with small blunders. Her
forte is in the word-painting of American places and
the representation of American society. Her new
novel, called," Love's Labor Won,'' is in her beat,
'because her most natural manner. In - this " her
footis upon her native heath." The locality is chiefly
in Virginia—the 'action commences at the time
when George Washington delivered his Farewell
Address, (Which Alexander Hamilton does not de
serve the credit of), proceeds through the war of
1812, and terminates soon after its conclusion.
The 'whole interest rests in two heroines—Mar
guerite De Lanoie and her daughter Helmstedt.
The story is very carefully written, is fell of
action, and is thoroughly original, never having
previously appeared in any other form. We pre
dict that it will have a multitude of readers. - We
know that it has interested us.
Wm. grey has written a . great many agreeable
novels. Having the 'entree (by birth, marriage,
and fortune,) to the best English society, this lady
presents spirited sketches of high life and middle
life in her native land. "The Flirt ; ore Passages
in the. Life of a Fashionable Young Lady," con
tains the adventures of two fascinating girls ; one
with, and one without high moral principle. The
Flirt,
.named Caroline Eversileld, achieves a
"splendid match," which weds her to a peer's
coronet azd splendid misery ; the true woman,
better-minded, has an humbler and happier doom.
This is not what people call " a sensation story,"
but it reads as if it were literally founded on fact,
as we believe it to be, for we think• that, we could
name the originals of some of the characters, as no
did in Dina. Henry Wood's "East Lynne."
American :Inventive Genius.
To the Editor of The Press : •
Sin : lily pride of "Americanism" has been
much , outraged lately by. barefaced English pi
racies upon the inventive genius of our country,
the latest and most flagrant being the outrageous:
appropriation of the "revolving tower" for::
iron-clad ships of Captain Ericsson, by a Captain
Coles, of the royal navy. Understand rne, I
am aware of the nativity of Captain Ericsson; •
but we claim him, just as Spain, through Isabella . '
of glorious memory, had a right o claim Colin:dui!'
—we appreciated and appropriated him.
I was not prepared, however, to have added to
these innumerable "thefts of thought," including
the sewing machine, such a misappropriation,
through an American source, too, of the talent and .
genius of our country as I find in the Philadelphia ,
Inquirer. of this morning. That journal, in an . 1
article entitled, "How the Inquirer is printedi"
attributes the origin of the process for reproducing
the forms of their paper in stereotype plates to the
.London Tones, dating the discovery "several '
years since." . It says: "At this moment, when
the organ of the English ariatooraoy was in danger
of- finding its circulation limited by a meohanioal-.
obstacle, an intrenious process was discovered, by
which any number of duplicate "oasts" of the type
could be obtained in a few moments, placed upon
new presses, and made to answer the purpose of the
• original metal," Ac. It goes on with a very crud*.
explanation of the proCess, which it says " was its
ported to America ' but, owing to its expense, wad:,
adopted only by afew journals of the largest . sir.,
eulation.
I am unable to say from what source the 2 - 90:
quirer obtained their process of recasting their
forms, nor am I advised In regard to the New York
journals which use that, or a similar one; but the
crediting it to the London Times, or its Italian
employee, as a discovery 4, severallyears since," is'
a gross anaohronism, to say nothing harsher, which
dues an injustice to American inventive genius I
cannot tamely submit to.
A plain statement, which can be easily vouched
for, Shall controvert the unwarranted assumption
of the Inquirer. In 1848, if not earlier, 0. Di
vldson, a stereotyper, 33 Gold street, New York,
-discovered materially the same - process, papier .
maehe matrix, and all, and produced suaceasfully
the recasts of forms through the aid and skill of
five Philadelphia stereotyper, via : Jae. A: Tier
nan, John Baker, Ed. Kelly, Robt. Patton, and M.
S. Farrel, all of whom were employed by 0. David
son & Co., 33 Gold street, New York. This - was
before Roe's fast cylinder presses were in opera
tion.
Mr. Davidson, who lost his hand by an improve
ment which ho made in the machine for shaving
stereotype plates, is still alive, I believe; md can
easily vouch for this statement, as can Messrs.
Tiernan, Patton, and Farrel, the survivors of the
party above named, who are now in Philadelphia.
I do not make this communication with any on-.
kind feeling to the bey - rarer, but I abhor and deL .
test English piracies upon American rights, in every
sense, and /hink an American journal pretending
to a first class petition, should be a little more cau
tious in its statements, which are calculated to rob
our own countrymen of their honest inventions.

, . Manufacture of Glass.
CONTINENTAL HOTEL, June 5, 1862
To the Editor of The Press : .
Bin : In an article in a morning paper to•day, on
t , The Manufacture of Glass,'Zitia said 6‘ Outside of
Philadelphia there are not probably over a dozen
glass factories an. the Union. There are more
than twelve manufactories of glass sn, this city.
Of the others two are located an Pittsburg, and
several in Jersey thy." Will you petmit me to
correct, so far as I may from personal knowledge,
the 'errors in the paragraph - quoted ?
In the city of Pittsburg there are not less - than
twenty-two firms engaged in manufacturing glass.
.They carry on about forty faetories, which produce
three millions of dollars' worth per annum in value.
The proportion of the different kinds of glass made
in Pittsburg is about as follows :
Flint glass; such as table:.ware, shoD.flttings, -
yea fumer's Wares $1,250,000
WindOw gleam - . 1,250,000
Black' and green, such as carboys, bottles,'
druggist ware, de ' 500,000
53,000,000
A portion of this product Ude its market in Phi
ladelphia.,
In the year 1861 there was shipped from Pitta
burg to this pity by the Pennsylvania Itailroad; 2,-
378,667 lbs.; or over twelve hundred tons of glass
and glassware.
The manufactire was commended in Pittsburg in
2706, by General James 'O'Hara, whose origmal
factory is, I think, still standing, and producing
glass. _
•
The cheap. coal,. salt,Aime, -sandstone, and . fire
clay of Pittsburg, which marked it at that early
day as a. suitable place fora glass factory, have
caused the business steadily to increase. For many.
s ears the soda ash used was imported ; bat .no w,
chiefly through the instrumentality of Philadelphia
enterprise. and capital, there are in the vicinity
two of the largest soda ash faotorbis on- the conti
nent.
The Pittsburg glass houses 'consume more than
half a million of dollars'_worth of this artiolean.nu
ally. .
Next to iron, glass is, perhaps, our chief article
of manufacture, and gives employment (exclusive
of those engaged in the production of fuel and raw
material) to about twenty-five hundred hands. '

THE UNION SENTIMENT UNDER THE SETTING SUN.
Necessity of a Itallroad to the Pacific.
(Special Correspondence of The Press.]
:SALMON RIVER MINES, W. T., April 8, 1862
All Christendom, England excepted, rejoices at the
prospect of an early settlement of our national difficul
ties. Even the better class of Becessionista—bail as they
are—give unmistakable signs of pleasure at the prospect
of returning quiet. There are but two causes of emo
tion prevailing here now—one of joy at the near ap
proach of order and unanimity in our own Government;
the other, a positive demand for redress of the, insuffer
able Insulte and cowardly menaces of the English Go
verninent. 411 the old grudges so justly herd by our
people against the British Government and
,people are,
by these late filibustering demonstrations, revived with a
bitterness of sentiment that no trnckling on her part will
allay ; nothing lees than a coast well fortified and an
ample naval force will satisfy the American people. .The
faith which the people of the United States had reposed
in England, as a friendly neighboring Power, has been
literally crushed out; henceforth, nothing remains but
to prepare to meet her both by land and sea. The
boast of- shipping ten 100-pound Armstrong gang to
Balifax, instead of being an act of intimidation, only
invites us to seize all of the American continent north
of us to the Russian possessions upon the very first pre•
text that Britain offers; it is she who makes tho banter.
Ber next menace is to be the signal for the American
Government to seize the prize she so cheaply offers.
' Seeing bow near BO approach wee. made to ell open
rapture with England, those of us at least who reside ea
this coast, are able, in a metenre, to realize bow essential
to American interests is the immediate construction of a
Pacific railroad. The universal impression here among
Union men, is that Congress ought never to adjourn
without exovisien being made, that will Mauro the cone
strnction of the road to some point on the Pacific coast
at as early a day as possible. All aro equally agreed that
the veto Me North Is the route, with Puget Sound for the
Pacific territories. A central or an extreme Southern
route would enable the Government to forward men and
munitions to the coast, but would contribute very little
to the defence of our frontier along the British line. A
Northern road would enable the Government to defend
this remote, and now unprotected frontier, while at the .
same time, it would secure Puget Sound against eUrprise,
and contribute as much to the general deranged of the
coast as would a rind on any other route. A Northern
road would not only secure Puget Sound and enable the
Government to put the Pacific coast in a state of defence
at a very small coat, but would place British Columbia
within the grasp of the eagle's talons, in case of a war
with England, which event, judging from the pest, may
happen at any time. A Pacific railroad to any
accessible point along the coast would not only
increase „our merchant marine to proportions that
for magnitude and efficiency' would astonish even the
moat sanguine, but would give to us, as property of our
own, the commercial keys of Christendom. This, in
turn, would create the necessity fora vast naval marine,
and, at the same time, provide the necesaary means for
its support.• A Pacific railroad would open for settle
ment el of that vast region lying between the navigable
eaters of the * Mississippi nod Columbia rivers, thus
adding largely to that ChM of our community—the in
dependent farmer—so justly esteemed by every matt of
intelligence as the very corner-stone of our liberal
thatitutions. A railroad would aid materially, too,
in developing the almost boundless mineral wealth
Of this vast interior region. California' is rink In
mineral weeith, yet I do not think it extravagant in
truth, nor disparaging in fact, to that wealthy State, to
assert that in a few years the mimed here will exceed these
of California many times in the yield of both gold-and sil
ver. Now suppose a war with England, situated as we
of this extensive region 'at present are, our commerce
would be destroyed; every enterprise pared, zed , the
progress of the entire coast crippled for years to come;
every man driven from these rich mine. now being devise
loped; Paget Sound, the most available harbor on the
American continent, and most desirable sheet of water
on the face of the whole earth, inevitably lost—and all for
why 1 Surely not because we as a people are unable to
Meet these probable contingencies? If so, then have all
who are n eve upon this coast been deceived with false
promises of protection. This, however, is not the case.
The reason this has not already been done, or is not now
being accomplished is, Congress pordiste in refusing ti al
low citizens the right to secure for the whole Govern
ment prosperity in peace, and success in war.
There is evidently a conflict approaching, in compari
son with which the late rebellion sinks into utter insigni
ficance, between despotism on the one hand and uni
versal rights on the other, involving not only territories,
dominion and the suiremacy of the seas, but materially
aftecting the political status of every Government within
the pale of civilization. We of the Now World must pre
pare for the conflict and prove °sweeties equal to the
en ergency, or Europe will bind us with the chain, and
rivet :lion us the fellers which deJpotiam has been so
long forging for Vial single purpose: This is the voice
of this entire coast, sweeping over the broad plains, which
the mountains echo back in tones of manly vigor.

THE CITY.
THE SHERIF)? CONTESTED ELECTION
CASE.-7 hie cape wag r. awned yesterday morning. At.
tschmenth were taken put by the respondent for absent
witnesses John Field was the first witoess called, and
being sworn, teatised that he acted as Inapector ot Men
tion in the First , division of the First ward at the late
election ; that, in bis opinion, at the close of the election
that day, the officers were pretty near all tight; that
John fhfeler..wae there during the day, coming down
early in the morning to show the r officers how to arrange
the papers. He vas a candidate for constable. After
the clone of the polio, he (Shiftier) made out nil the re.
turns. The election officers counted off the lest hour's
vote, and afterwards did not do 'anything until toe re
turns were made op. Evan Lutz was Oa other Inspector
with me. tie did not do anything. One of the Return
Inspectors read off the last hour's vote, the other did not
do anything ; the clerks tried to keep a tally, but they
disagreed on almost every bon's vote.
O. one-examined.—Oan't say who requested Mr. Shinier
to come there; I asked him to come down and arrange
the papers, -dc.. I can't say how many drinks I took
during the day; in course, I knew what I was about, and
was able to transact busineea; the clerks disagreed as to
tbo tally.
Tho list of voters wee handed witnees, and a number of
names on ono were called out and found to correspond
with those on the otber. Other lists of voters were hand
ed ibiwltness, by Dlr. Gowen, on ro•examination, and
be was coked if they wero not the lisle that 'disagreed.
He replied that the first lists Mond a little better than
the lists that wore kept.
On re-cross-examination, the witness said he thoughthe
was drunk on election day.
renens A. Souder was the next witness called, and
offered under the 88th specification, which charges that
the officers of the Seventh division of the Eleventh ward
received the votes of persons not authorized to vote.
I repute in the Sixteenth ward, formerly to the Eleventh
weed. Seventh division; moved ont of Eleventh ward one
week before last election; voted in Eleventh ward, Seventh
divloion. •
Question. 'What ticket did you vote that day?
Objected to, and question overruled.
I sm not POSitiVe I voted for county officers that day;
if I did, I did not vote for Robert Ewing; ; I voted so lit
tle of the ticket that I car's recollect what names I left
off; cared ro little about the elect - lost ; I should judge I
voted about 9 or 10 O'clock in the morning; I can't say
from whom I got my. ticket•, not from a man with a
Democratic ticket on; I asked for a ticket; I voted what
ever was on the ticket. •
~•
Croea•e:amined. I opened my ticket ; I am certain I
did not vote a full ticket.
Be.c.xsufipm,llinew I opened the ticket, and threw
some away i I did not care about the ward ticket, having
moved ont of the ward..
The tally paper of the First division of the Twenty
fifth ward was produced to show that kfriEwing received
130 votfe, instead of 129, as returned.
Alr. Gilpin explained that it was true that the addition
of ?dr. Zwina's votes made it 130, but an addition of both
voles made the figure run ore over the list of voters.
Air. Quoddy said that was a matter to be disposed of
hereafter, but for the present be offered the tally paper.
The list of voters of the Seventh division of lleveath
ward, showing the name of C. A. South* having voted
the whole ticket, with the exception of " Ward" and
" Division," was also offered in evidence.
Under a specification charging the receipt of illegal
vote.' for Mr. 'Thompson, George A. Geary testified that
he lived and voted in the Ninth precinct of the Twentieth
ward ; paid a county and State tax taut October. [Wit
netts produced the receipt for 1861, as well as the prior
year. The taxes were for real estate, as well an pellicles!,
and duos removed the allegation that he had no right to
vote, and Mr. Cateidy slated that it was an evident mis
take, the gentleman being a tjuelitled voter.) . •
Under a epecillcation charging "that in the Fourth
division of the Twelfth ward of the said city of Phila
delphia, 'Robert swing received three votes which were
taken and computed in the said general return and Count
ed for Jobn Thompson," Mr. Gowan staked the court for
an order to produce the bellot•box, as there was nomode
of proving the charge except by a recount of the ballots.
Mr. 'Brewster opposed the motion to recount the hal
tote, as the 'specification was too loose. There was no
charge of fraud, Sod there wee, no charge that the trans
fer of these particular votes was not accompanied by a
transfer to the other side, and thus the general return is
not effected. Let the respondent produce the parties
who taw the three votes counted for Mr. Thompson. Lot
him produce the election officers of big own party, wbo
will tell all that occurred at the polls.• The court should
have tbo testimony upon which the epecification Is
based.
Gilpin referred to the fact that the motion, if al
lowed, would be a step lowe;rds:iirecount of the ballots
is the city. ' ' : •
Zdr. Hirst replied in support of the motion, and refer
red to the (act that the cowl could no longer be ember
ratted in regard to the insecure condition of the, boxes.
Now they are deposited in a safe and secure place, and
the truth must lie in these boxes The ballots were the
best evidence the case admitted of, and , injustice might
be dr ne if the motion wee refused.
Aftersome further arguinent the application was -re
f Used, both judgeir concurring that the specification was
too general, and that before the ballots can be recounted,
the complaint must be precise in Its term.

THE FAIR IN AID OF THE UNION RE
FRESUMERT SALOON.—The Fair now being held at
the Union Refreshment Saloon, at the foot of Washing
ton street, to indeed a grand affair, and is constantly
thronged with spectators from all parts of the city.
The presentation of the mammoth bouquet, by the
ladies of Now Jersey, came off as announced. Thirty
ur ladies, each with a bouquet, headed by ex-Senator
Seven , . of New Jersey, arrived at the wharf at about
five o'clock, and were met by the Union Committee, and
conducted to the Saloon. Ex-Senator Savory, in pre
senting the gift, thanked the ladles of this city for their
kindness to the soldiers who had gone forth to battle for
the Union, and the case bestowed upon the sick and
wounded, returning home, belonging to New Jersey, and
said that this bouquet was but one of the many tokens
of esteem due by theinatrtotic people of New Jersey Piths
ladles of the Union Saloon. Rev. Dr. Brainerd, on behalf
of the ladies of tide city, replied in his usual happy style,
and the large crowd wore plemed with his quaint and
Patriotic remarks, which ended the ceremony. It took
sixty ladies to make the bouquet, which was got up by
the ladies of - Gloucester and Woodbury.
The done•ions continuo to be steadily on the increase,
and they are ad rapidly sold off, as no extortion is wee.
tised upon purchasers i a [act which has contributed ina.
terially to the success of the fair. Every donation is
carefully recorded by the secretary, no matter how
trivial. It but gore to show patriotism for the canes of the
Soldier, and the action of the committee is commendable
in thus noting small favors. The fair is visited by a large
number of soldiers, who seem t. take great interest In it.
•
PROTECTION OF GAME.---Great efforts
are being made in some of the adjoining counties to pre ,
vent injury being done, at this season of the year, to
partridges. These birds are not only important to the
farms, because they destroy inconceivable numbers of
Insects, but if cared for or cultivated would prove profita
ble for marketing at the proper season. Last year a
number of gentlemen of Williamsport formed themselves
into an aseociation for the preservation and propagation
of partridges, and off..red a reward of twenty cents for
each pair furnished alive to them. tinder this proposi
tion they received about three hundred, which were care
fully housed and fed during the winter. These were in
goring set at large.
In Impotttag trees from all parts of the world, the
nurserymen are filling the land with almost every fruit
destroying insect known 'to* civiliztd nations. As the
wooer ere cut away, the insects that Inhabit them are
driven to the farm, to multiply amazingly and to live
upon 'whatever suits their naturts. Birds of every spa.
cies are the meet effective guards against those, and if
tt e farmer will allow careless gunners to destroy them,
his grain and fruit must pay the penalty.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET.
PHILADELPHIA, June 18, 1802
Financially everyting is down. Gold declined to 5 per
cent. early this morning, and operations were sluggish at
that figure. An extra demand failed to raise it more
than K. The recent statements of the expo:tailen or
coin to Europe have bad the effect of making the people
cling tighter to it, in the hope of a great advance should
a scarcity seem to prevail. Others prefer to board it fa
order to bare something to fall back upon in case the Go
vernmental financial structure tumbles to the ground—
s supposition so ridiculous that it is only deserving of
mention on account of the somewhat extended suspicion
that ‘' there is`no knowing what may happen." If busi
ness men were to allow their fears to guide their actions,
but little prosperity would ho evidenced around us.
Tim!e suspicions folks may give themselves a temporary
entisf action, but they are not sufficiently moneyed or nu
merous as to control even the smallest part of public opi
nion. We trust soon to hear of exportations of tobacco,
cotton, and other Southern ethnics, and of theconseitiont
stoppage of the flow of specie to Europe.
Tbc specie demand notes also declined during Mader
to SX prem .with a pretty general desire, on the part
of holders, to sell: Operations on the street were quite
numerous, and large quantities changed hands. It has
been suggested that the "legal tender" notes ought to be
at a premium, because the six per cent. betide of the
United States are. It is plain that no premium can be
attached to them until they are turned Into the bonds, in
which case they are not legal. tender notes. For the sauna
reason a sack of wheat will not sell as flour until it has
been through the mill.
At the Stock Board, lOW, a general depression wag
evident, especially in the fancy etocka. Reading sold
down t 028%. a large lot changing bands at that figure;
at the second board it recovered to 28%. and losing 3 on

The following remarks, from the Louisville Journal of
Jillonday, concerning the transactions of the week, will
give an idea of matters in Louisville:
Gold has experienced another rise, and we now report
the eelling rates at flet6X per cent. premium, the bankers
bus ing at +5053( premium. Exchange Is dull and un
changed at 40X per cent. premium selling and „X per cent
discount Mixing. The business community are well sup
plied with currency. which has undergone no perceptible
change in rates. The fall of lffemphi+ into Federal hands
has had a stimulating effect upon trade, and !tree con
eignments of provisiona and wares have been eent for
ward to that point. Few actual purchases have been
made, however, for that region.
The business of the week has been limited, though
there walla decidedly better feeling toward the close. The
river is in fair- boating stage, with less than terra
feet water in the canal. The weather is clear and very
warm.
