TILE Commissikmer of Internal Revenue has
given the following decision in reply to a query
propounded by E T. Foster, the collector at Mauch
Chunk : Where a party produces coal in
two counties in two different collection districts,
there musbobe separate collections of tax, on the
amount of coal produced in each district. The re
gulation requiring tax on any corporate body, or
property of an incorporate body, to be payable at
the office of the treasurer of such corporation;'
does not include manufacturing companies, nor will
it be construed to include companies, even if in
corporated, engaged in mining coal. In these oases
the tax must bo paid where the manufactory is
situated, or where the coal is produced."

This warning is the knell of Southern hopes.
The rebels have made a gallant resistance, but
their gallantry is the recklessness of despair.
We are uniting, concentrating, strengthening;
and on the results of the months now coming
this war will depend; The President has '
placed the Republic on the advance ground of
liberal sentiment, and our battles are
not merely for the Union, but for li
berty and Union. The . inspiration of this
thought is to our cause more than an army of
warriors. Hereafter we are to know nothing but
war, that peace may come, - and we look Tor
peace to come quickly. We, are about to hurl
a united, vigorous North upon a feeble and ex
hausted South. We are on the advance every

sentiment. The devotion which the. people
show to the AdmitAstration, and the respect
which its enemies pay to it in exhibiting a
constant anxiety to be regarded as its friends,
show that ABRAILUI LINCOLN truly , represents

this is our position now, and out of this we
look for speedy victoria s and a speedy peace.
'itebel Testimony Against Buell
In the rebel Generafllumm's account of the
baffle of. Perryville there are one or two sen
tences which deserve attention. Speaking of
the relative disposition of the contending
forces just prior to the engagement, General
BRAGG says «Finding the enemy indisposed
to advance upon us, and knowing he was re
ceiving heavy reinforcements, I deemed it
best to assail him vigorously." And again, in
concluding his report, he says: "Yesterday I
withdrew the whole to this point, the enemy
following slowly, bat 9tot pressing its." BRAX
TON BRAGG is not generally accepted as
first-class authority on questions where vera
city is one of the essentials. In this respect
he shares the unenviable reputation of BEAU.
REGARD. But the statements above quoted
are evidently more than mere fabrications in
vented to reflect injuriously upon the cha
racter of a Federal general, and possess
unusual significance. Coming to us unsup
ported save by Gen. BRAGG'S ipse disit o we
should at tech to them no more importance
than his entire report would ordinarily war
rant, but coming to us as they do, sus
tained by the statements of our own and
other special correspondents, they have
a meaning which cannot be misunderstood.
We must accept them as • valid testimony
against an officer whose conduct, indeed, had
long been the occasion for surprise, harsh
comment, and suspicion. The battle of Per
ryville resulted in a victory, indeed, but it
Was a dearly-bonght, barren, and we might
almost say disastrous victory ; but, with the
arrival of our heavy reinforcements, surely
there should have come a more decidedly
favorable consummation of the struggle.' The
problem had cost dearly, but it was yet to be
worked out, and the elements wherewith to at
tain the desired result were all in Gen. BUELL'S
hands. How were they employed ? Gen. &mu,
cannot tell us. General BRAGG tells us that
be has safely withdrawn to Bryantsville, via.
Harrodsville, c‘ the enemy Jollowing slowly,
but not pressing , us." It is much to be re
gretted that General Bumr.'s conduct, not
only on this occasion, but during his entire
Western campaign, is susceptible of but one
interpretation, and that one more likely to en
courage the enemies than the friends of the
Union. Hitherto, when Bentr,'s fidelity to his
high trust has been impugned, and his loyalty
called in question, Iwo have urged that he
should have-an opportunity to repel these ac
cusations, deeming it incredible that they
could be founded on fact. Latterly, however,
we confess that our confidence in this officer
has been sadly impaired, and our mistrust finds
its fullest justification in his supersedure by
the President. The officer who follows his
enemy at such a safe distance as not to 4 ‘ press
him" evidently has not his heart in the chase,
and is unfit to be trusted with the command
of a scouting party, leaving a corps d! armee
aside. The general who carries a conci
liatory vary into the field with him
bas strangely misconceived the nature of
his mission, and exceeded the warrant of his
duty. Concurrent testimony from: loyal
and disloyal, that General guma t . - has
pointed the reasonable expectations.. the
Northern people in precisely this manna, is,
we think, an ample ground for his removal,
and a complete justification of
. 11f,r. Liscomes
action on the subject. ThuS, tor the first
time in the history of the war, has the report
of a.rebel general shown as our great weak
ness, and shown us the lesson of experience.
Anomalies of Public Opinion.
If our. war shall accomplish nothing else, it
will at least win the thanks of generations 'of
philosophers to come for:stirring up funds..
Mental questions of 'public morals and for ex
bibiting many of those curious vagaries,
vacillations,and contradictions of opinion.that
baffle all ethical statistics and laugh at tile
idea of reducing opinion to exact science or
subjecting its phenomena to invariable laws.
It 'is possible to find a chaos of facts re
corded in our struggle ; it is possible to
see our practical elements disorganized
and their relations confounded ; but all
the wild confusion wrought. in material. re
gards will bear no zomparisen with that
aroused in the ordinary sentimental com
ponents and processes of the nation. And
these vast and radical changes of opinion that
have fermented on this side of the Ocean have
not been - without a reactionary effect on the
dorninant popular beliefs of England and the
Continent. It is evinced everywhere, but
most, perhaps, in, the universal disappaint
ment that has greeted each new development
of opinion, whether appearing in us as an
original and pesitive force, or in foreign
peoples. merely as a response. Every step
that we have- taken in this respect we have
expected to elicit a certain kind of greeting,
but facts have perversely and uniformly dis
appointed our imaginations ; and conversely,
in every act that other States anticipated as a
result of some sentiment which they thought
would naturally foster it, they have been
equally pained at the discrepancy that ap
peared betwee,n the result and their hopes.
The foundations of society are so excited, and
so confusedly blent together, that it seems
impossible for external act to tally any longer
With conception or hope.
These thoughts have been repeatedly sug
gested to us during the progress of the war,
but they are brought home more forcibly than
ever by the reception which the proclamation
of emancipation is meeting in England. As
the latest files are received, it is amusing to
watch the various opinions evolved by a fur
ther discussion of the measure; but after one,
has read and analyzed them, separately, a ques
tion occurs that enibraces theme all : Why
should there be, on this point, the least varia
tion of opinion in England ? We had a right
to expect that, in this respectat least, England
would give us an undivided support. She
had always constituted the front rank of Abo
lition sentiment; her emancipation cries had
been loud and long. Why, then, when we
gave tier a practical embodiment of her ardent
desires did it receive the cold shoulder in any
quarter ? The answer to the question is of
the last importance, as it condenses the
whole question of English sympathy; and to
make it fairly, we ought to retrace our steps
to the very beginning and ask, how it was
that the Southern cause received any en
couragement at all in England ?
First, then, we must remember that the
English people are as great bigots as were the
Greeks in regard to all history except that of
the United Kingdom. It is indisputable that
they knew nothing of the true relations exist
ing-between the North and the South at the
opening of the rebellion. They did not know
that the sole object of the South was an exten
sion of Slavery, and that the thwarting of
this plan was their sole grievance. They did
not know—we speak now of the masses of the
people—that the perpetuity of the Union
would impose conditions upon Slavery, incom
patible with its continued existence. In short,
they knew nothing at all of the matter, and
were, therefore, easily imposed upon to be
the uprising of the South a-lawful effort
of a discontented and oppressed people.
Secondly—we must not forget that we gather
what we know of English tone from a few of
their papers, and that these chief organs were
and are directly in the pay of the rebel States.
Thirdly—the English anti-slavery feeling was
a mere feeling, and could not withstand an
ounce of fact opposed to it. The work ef the.
English ;
cvnere remained nothine farther to
the subjectwas
direction
was simply an emotional reflex upon an
after generation of the - prior generation's ac
tivity. It had no field for exertion, and would,
naturally, therefore, die when. called to - a
practical test.
Fourthly There exists a deeply-rooted
opinion in England that America is her sworn
foe; that we are Pledged to her destruction,
1 and only wait a chance to league with other
States against her.
Now all this seems abundantly absurd when
viewed with a high degree of national self
complacency. But anomalous as the opinions
are, we meet them with equal anomalies. Did
we understand till lately that the war turned
solely upon the question of human enslave
ment? Have we no venal press, in the ser
vice of Secession, whose miserable hacks at
once pervert and belie public sentiment?
Has not our philanthropic feeling existed
hitherto only as- a sentimentalism—though
not because our work was done, but because
we were afraid to approach it? And is there
not current among us, also, a belief of Eng
land's inveterate hostility ? - So that the
whole matter seems to present an anomalous
conflict of anomalies. We may be thankful
that we have at last fallen on something thatwill
Settle the unnatural strife. The Proclamation
is doing it. Under its influence, England's
prejudices are disappearing, and with them
ours will disappear. Society will be restored
to its former peaceful and unembittered con
dition—only it will be raised and refined by
.the rousing of opinions and the conflicts of in
terests which have convulsed it; and antago
nistic misunderstandings being destroyed, the
two nations will appreciate each other infi
nitely better for the temporary piques that this
great civic convulsion has thrown to the sex
face.
The Cause
We war against false systems--tyrannies,
villainies, seditions—against the enemies of
free labor everywhere. We desire to place
the white laboring man of the North, who has
his bread to earn, on an equality with the
*lute laboring man of the South, who must
earn his in squalidness and misery. The South
ern laborer finds a rival in the slave because
that slave represents capital and wealth and po
litical power—and against such interests free
industry and competition are powerless. The
result is that iree white men—natives and
aliens—are injured and kept forever in poverty
and ignorance. Slavery does not elevate the
negro, but degrades the white, and the love
we bear for our race bids us to honor ABRA
RAM LINCOLN for having elevated that race by
destroying the tyranny of capital.
New Tork
Our friends in New York are fighting 'a gal
lant fight against the Secession Sympathizers
under the lead of SEYMOUR, WOOD, and Vali
BuREN. They are doing splendidly in the
cause of freedom and loyalty, and deserve
the thanks of the country for their devotion
and courage. The Tribune, Times, and Post,
in New York, exhibit uncommon ability in ex
posing the schemes of the traitors. The re
sult is in some doubt ; but we are in hopes
that that gallant and accomplished gentleman,
General ' WADSWORTH, will be elected Gover
nor by an overwhelming majority.

LETTER FROM " OCCASIONAL."
WASHit.; OTON, October 28, 1862
The departure of Major General Banks for
New York, on Monday afternoon, there to
open his headquarters, and to organize the
great expedition about to be set on foot under
his command, marks one of the most important
epochs of this war.: Various conjectures, near
and wide of the truth, will of course be ha
zarded as to the design and destination of this
important expedition. Information derived
from various sources and inferences from sun
du facts induceane to believe that the follow
ing will be found, substantially, the aim and
purpose of this new movement The atten
tion of the Government of the United States
has, for a long time, been earnestly directed
towards Texas, and the importance of extended
military operations to restore the Federal au
thority in that State has been strongly and per
sistently urged by several delegations of
loyal Texans, under the solemn assurance
that a large portion of the people of Texas are
only waiting for an opportunity to, return to
their allegiance, and establish, within their
boundaries, one or mere free Stales, thus put
ting under progressive control and civilized
cultivation the entire empire which declared
its independence of Mexico nearly thirty years
ago, and was sealed to the United * States in
1844. To accomplish this vast design will
undoubtedly be the object of the expedition
under General Banks. Only two weeks ago
an expedition also looking towards Texas, after
first clearing the Mississippi of rebel obstruc
tions, was entrusted to Major General John A.
Meelernand, of Illinois, who is now in the
Western States earnestly engaged in its organi
zation. The concurrent movement on the
seaboard, headed by General Banks, and,
looking to the same object, after hav
ing been long and favorably considered
by the military authorities, has now been for
mally decided upon. Texas wrested from the
rebels and a loyal Government organized at
its capital and throughout the State will he an
immense gain to the Republic, and a fatal blow
to the rebellion. The commercial and political
results of the reconquest of Texas will surpass
in importance any and everything heretofore
attempted in this war. When the traitors dis
cover, as they soon will discover, that the
whole cotton country is being rapidly made
tributary to the regular Government of the
United States and is forcibly taken from them,
the masses of troops from this region now
quartered in Virginhnwill either fall an easy
prey to our armies in that quarter, or when
too late seek to fly back to recover their own
section from the triumphant Union columns.
The choice of the conimanders of this move
ment is for many reasons a happy one.
General Banks and General McOlernand
are both volunteer officers who have
already greatly distinguished• themselves by
gallant service. In the Northern and East
ern States, General Banks enjoys the un
bounded confidence of the people, while Gen.
licelernand has inspired the whole West with
enthusiastic faith in his courage, untiring en
ergy, and military skill. The troops of New
England and New York, under the leadership
of Banks, will vie with the gallant soldiers of
Indiana, Illinois, and lowa, under the leader
ship of Mcalernand, and all will strive who
shall show the greatest devotion to the Go•
vernment, the most determined hatred of
the rebellion, and the most gallant zeal in
closing out the war. Banks, the staunch Re
publican, and McClernand, the chivalric Dou
glas Democrat, are specially fitted for this
great mission, and signally qualified to lead
these two armies to a crowning victory. The
people of the United States will also be glad
to know that it is designed by the Govern
ment to clothe these two commanders with
the largest discretionary power: They have
entered upon their task, therefore, with the
full confidence of the Administration, and
will be supported by the whole influence of
the civil and military authorities ; and should
the aims and results of these conjoined expe
ditious prove to be what I have foreshadowed,
then every patriotic heart will give utterance
to a prayer that God may speed them tri
umphantly on their way. OCCASIONAL.

'lc-day we are catching an old-fashioned equinoctial
gait: 7 —a month behind its usual period.
The usual Inspection of troops, prier to a contemplated
engagement, toolc place on Saturday. 'unfeeling of
ficers, appointed at headquarters, made a tour through
the ranks of each regiment, accompanied by the field of
ficers, the Burgeon, and the captain of each company that
at the moment might be undergoing review. Each mue
het WU carefully examined, the lock cooked and looked
at, and the ramrod made to ring clearly in the barrel.
After -this the soldiers laid their knapsacka upon the
ground, emptied their cartridge boxes, and laid both them
and the contents upon the former. A second tour was
th en t ondo by the inspecting officer, who saw that each
men had a proper supply of ammunition, and then ex
amined both the uniform and shoes that he wore, and the
clothes in his knapsack.
Those division and brigade generals who happened to
be in their quarters took a cursory survey, and finally
Burnside biracial; with his well-known high hat and
blue ehirt collar over his coat, rode, in maielve gran
deur, down one side of each regiment, and up tho other,
()raid wild and delighted cheers. The brigade halide
played rich music as the devoted fellows calmly stood
ready for their errand of death, and, as the bystander
shed the ready tear of sympathy accorded to heroism, it
was not unmingled with envy. I happened more particu
larly to be in the neighborhood of the Hawkins Zonaves,
wbose picturesque costume stood in strong relief against
the unattractive uniforms around, and the charm of the
scene was thus redoubled. Zonavo regiments are always
favorites. The drese being preferred by recruits, officers
have no difficulty in picking their men, and they select,
therefore, finely-proportioned and healthy youths. The
bronzed fame and jaunty red caps of the Hawkins
Zonaves drew exclamations of delight from all who ap
preoiateir the true soldier, and I much regretted that a
distance of severalmiles separated me at the time from
our own noble Pennsylvania Zonave reglmente, whose
appearance war, doubtless, equally impressive.
A moot agreeable diversion to proceedings was given
by General Sturgis, who, accompanied 'by Adjutant
General Williams, rode by with three pretty girls, on
horseback. The sight was refreshing. Nothing is seen
in this region but sallow females cf forty-five:and up
wards. nosy cheeks and sylphy valeta are, therefore,
appreciated. ,Mothers, during the visit Of the army
hereabouts, either send their daughters to, a distance or
keep them at home. No one ever sees them.

preached, yesterday morning, in shale Episcopal edifice
of brick, near by, and wan attended by General lifcolel
lan, and upWarda of a hundred officers and orderly ser
geants attached to his staff and body guard.
The effect of a mass of spurred and booted officers
singing Th alms was novel, but they Carried them through
very creditably, in the true sing• song style, without the
aid of musk. The Bishop, is his sermon, made no allu-
Lion to the waxlike duties of his hearers, but itkulcated
Limply the necessity of perfect faith in Christ, as should
be entertained by a sick man towards his physician.
The illustration was trite, but not at ah applicable to the
learned doctors of medicine, especially hereabouts, where
limbs unnecessarily lopped have much shaken confidence.
At the close, the Bishop administered the sacrament to
several officers and chaplains, but not to General Mc-
Clellan, who is a member, it is Said, of the Presbyterian
Church.

The meat is said to boon account of a communicalion

No officer of the regular army will in future enlist TO

Lists of volunteer° wishing to enlist in the regular

for permission to visit the regiments to recruit the men.
Clar4'will be had not to take more than a fair proportion
of men from each regiment.
Too much laxity prevails well regard to soldiers leav

men of a company will be granted panes to leave camp.
The provost guards will arrest all absentees from camp

The reports of recent impactions exhibit shameful nc•
Oct of duty on the part of many officers of the higher,
as well as the lower grides in this army, in those lesser

will produce the demoralization of any body of troops.
Inspections in many organizations are rarely made,
drills poorly attended and unfrequent cleanliness dig.
regarded, the care of arms and ammunition but little
attended to, and the instructions of officers in tactics and
regulations entirely neglected. Brigade and division
drills, in some cases, arilaid aside. The general orders
Published, from time to time, by the War Department,

and batteries.
The prompt distribution and promulgation of orders is
one of the fast duties of "staff officers, and commanding
officers aroma& responsible that staff officers aro not
neglectful in this respect.
The commanding general is convinced that some
examples of summary dismissals of officers is necessary
to insure attention to this point of duty before the im.

The National Debt—Letter from Secre

Secretary Clmee, in reply to a letter from Mr. Walley.
president of the Revere Bank, Boston, has written the
following :
TREASURY DRriatTmEsr, October 23, 1882
Mr DEA n Bin; I am much eurmised by the statement
you say has been made by one who ought, to know that
the Government intend. to refuse payment of the 5 per
cent. and 4 per cent. temporary depoelta in anything but
5.20 e I certainly have never entertained a thought of
paring them in anything except the currency in which
they were received—that is to say, United States notes,
unless; indeed, * * * * *
they are paid in gold.
The idea that they are to be paid in anything but
money, however, is only about as absurd and ground
less as the statement that the national debt amounts to
two thousand MUMMA of dollars; and yet this statement
was gravely put forth in the leading resolution of the
Conservative Convention, which met the other day in
Yaneuil Halt On the day:that resolution was adopted
the national debt amounted to less than six hundred and
forty millions of dollara! I wish I had thought of it, and
I would have obtained the precise figures at the De
partment before I came down am writing at my house),
and I would have given them to you. Six hundred
and foxy million:, ;compared with what we have to
show for the expenditure of our part of ft—seventy
odd millions, you know, was the legacy of the Bu
chanan Administration—le bad enough. I certainly do
not contemplate it with complacency. With dill lees
complacency do I contemplate its increase actual since
the resolution was adopted and prospective for the year,
at the rate of a million and a quartor a day. But still
six hundred and forty millions is not two thousand mil.
lions, nor do I think it VISO or patriotic to say two
thousand whin fix hundred and forty represents the
truth. It was said doubtless by mistake.
You may show this letter to whom you victor, and if
you choose, though it is written with running von, as
you Sae, print the substance of it. Yours, faithfully,

MEETING OF DISCHARGED BREOHIN

was held lest evening, in a remover the Glohe Hotel
bar. room. The situation of the meeting room, appa•
really, preduced a visible effect on the proceedings. Oen.
eiderable difficulty was also experienced in drawing the
members away from a bagatelle board, where they were
engaged in naming their righteous Indignation.
The meeting wag , finally organized by the election of
Andrew McGrath as president.
Mr; Hobert Randall said that his brother, Samuel J.
Randall, offered hie services to the discharged operatives
in any way that he could be or bentfit
On motion, Mr. Bandall , e remerke were *aced on the
minutes. „
The call of tha :meeting was thou read.
The president said that those who were present bad
been discharged for their adherence to Democratic prin.
dries. On elimination, it was found that there was no
one present who had been instructed to vote any particu
lar ticket, or towards whom any threats had been need.
Mr. J. B. Sebes& .said that he came to make inquiries
in regard to the money already subscribed for the use of
discharged operatives at the Evening Journad office,
He believed the object of the meeting to be the getting
hold of the forty-five dollars said to be already sub
scribed. '
A committee was then appointed to proceed to the
office in question, and lay hands on the funds. Messrs.
Schenck: Noble, and Mullen were named se the commit
tee, to whichthe officers of the meeting were added.
A gentleman made a denial of the statement alleged to
have been made in The Press, that he with others had
been discharged to make room for those who went with
Osidain Boekafellow to Harrisburg. Another person
present said that amongst those discharged were some
from whom money had been extorted for the support of
the People's party. 'Another member said that he had
flatly refused to support the Administration, and had
!men diecharged before eight o'clock, on the Wednesday
after tin, election.
Several other vague statements were made, altar which
(hose preeent indulged in a general round of abase
ag,ainet what they termed the " Abolition National
Union nigger ticket."
Another Member made a statement in behalf of Wrn.
Linton, fifty-threa pears cf age, who had two sons in the
army—one now a prisoner and the other killed at Antie

LETTER FROM SECRETARY SEWARD TO
THE PHILADELPHIA BAPTIST ASSOOLiTION.--
The following is the copy of a totter received by Horatio
G. Jones, Reg , secretary of the Philadelphia Baptist
Aseociation, from the Hon. Wm. H. Seward, of the State
Department, in reply to a communication transmitting a
series of resolutions on the state of the country 11i:opted
by this association
Octobai 18, 1862,
To the Philadelphia Baptist Association
GENTLEMEN: I have the honor to acknowledge for the
other heads of departments, as well as in my own behalf,
the reception of the resolutions which were adopted by
your venerable association during the last week, and-to
assure 3 on of our high appreciation of the personal kind
ness, patriotic tervor, and religions devotion which per
vade their important proceedings. You seem, gentlemen,
to have wisely borne in mind what is too often forgotten-.
that any Government, especially a Republican one, can
not be expected to rise above the virtue of the people
over whom it presides. Government le always dependent
on the support of the nation from whom it derives all lts
powers and all its forces, and the inspiration which can
give it courage, energy. and resoludon can come only
from the innermost heart of tire country which it is re
quired to lead or to save. /t is indeed possible for an
Administration in this country to conceive and perfect
policies which would be beneficent, but it could not carry
them into effect without the public consenti for the first'
instruction which the statesman derives from experience
le, that be must do in every case not what he wishes, but
- what he can.
In reviewing the history of our countty, we find many
instances in which it is apparent that grave errors have
been committed by the Government, but candor will
oblige us to own that heretofore the people have always
bad substantially the very kind of administration which'
they at the time desired and preferred. Political, moral,
and religious teachers exercise the greatest influence in
forming and directing popular - sentiments and reeolu
tens. Do you, herefore, gentlemen, persevere in the in
culcation of the principles and sentimental which you have
expreseed in your recent proceedings, and rest assured
tbnt, if the national magnanimity shall be found equal to
the crisis through which the country is naming, no efferts
on the part of the Administration will be spared to b-ing
about a peace without a lots of any part of the national
territories, or the sacrifice of any of the constitutional
esfegnards of civil or religious liberty. I need hardly say
that the satisfaction which will attend that result will be
immeasurably increased if it shall be found also that, in
the operations which shall have produced if, humanity
shall have gained new and important advantages. Com
mending ourselves to your prayers, and to the prayers of
all who desire the welfare of our country and of mankind,
I tender you the sincere thanks of my associates, with
whom I have the honor to remain, gentlemen,
Your very obedient servant,

Lock Maven, in ()Raton county, and at Bellefonte, Cen
tre county, and were so shilfutly performed that up to
this time no clue whatever has teen discovered of the
criminal.
It appears that about the 6th of the preeett month a
well- dressed and gentlemanly-looking man pieeented
himself at the counter of the Jersey Shore Bank, and
representing himself to be L. 0. Hing, of the firm of
Seth L. King Jr. Bone, of 83S Broadway, New York, and
364 Lake 'Arcot, Chicago, dealers in furs, Aloe, eto.,
stated that in consequence of the Indian troubles in the
sue us bad greatly en:
banned in price,
Pennsylvania to see if he could tot purchase there. He
seemed to be perfectly posted in.the trade, and wound
up by presenting a drift of the State Bank of Indiana
for $3,400 on the Park B Ask of New York, which was
cached. He then went to Lock Haven, and telling an
- equally plausible story there, succeeded in "doing" the
bank located there out of $3,000. Be appeared to be in
no hurry whatever, but in a day or two after took the
stage for Bellefonte. At this point ho presented to
Burnes, McOallleter, Hale, fr Co., private bankers, a
similar daft for 81,100 ;.aleo, one to W. P. Reynolds &
Co. for $9OO, both of which were cashed.

TEE.—The - United Ratio iron-clad steam gunboat San
gamon was successfully launched on Monday, at Chester.
The vessel is 1111 tons burden, Government measure
ment; about 200 fest long, 45 feet wide, and 12 feet deep.
She has only one turret, in which two D..inch guns wilt
be placed. Thew will constitute her entire armament.
There is hardly any difference between this chip and the
Monitore, of which she is one. The Montauk, Passaic,
and Nahlnt, all sliest, have been 'described at length.
The Sangamon is • a fac simile of them. The tarret is
twenty-one feet inside, nine feet high, and eleven inohes
thick. Orders have bon received by the contractors to
prepare her for her crew and guns as speedily as pos
sible. The Sangamon weighs 1,300 tons; when finished
she will weigh 1,500 tons. The Lehigh, deter ship to
the one launched, is rapidly approaching completion, and
will be ready to be floated out in a few days. There
will then be but the Weehawken, which will be
launched at Jersey City this week, the Nantucket, at
Boston, and the Catskill, at Greenpoint, to be finished
of the nine Ericsson batteries.
A new iron-clad man-of-war, to be called Ozarch, has
been contracted for by Geo. Q. Vaster, of Peoria, Illi
nois. She is about twe hundred and twenty feet long,
illy feet beam, end seven feet deep. She will draw
four and one-half feet of water and will have two
propellers, so that one can work backwards while the
other is driving her ahead. • She will have one turret
pierced for two eleven-inch gene. The machinery for
the ship is building under the enporintendence of Mr.
George Bitktbeck, Jr., now constructing the Now Jorser

SEEACKAMAXON BQITAZE.—The Site
formerly occupied by market shedding, at the Intersection
of Frankford road, Laurel, and Beach streets, is now in
process of convereion into a public green, or square. A
neat iron railing has supplied the place of the temporary
white paling enclosing the space, and when the transfor
mation has been completed, the citizens of the neighbor
hood may boast of a very 'reepectable-looking public
vinare in miniature.
some months 8111C43, when vielling fide neighborhood,
the isolated, antiquated appearance of what was nomi
nally Shackareaxou Square , ' attracted our attention.
Taking a bird , s-eye view from Franhford road, the place
presented a most exclusive picture, so blank looking in
the midst of one of the most thoroughly built up portions
of the city, and deatitute of the slightest pretension to
public or local consequence; a square, in a metropolitan
VI6V7, only in name, though in fact ono hundred and fifty
feet. Sere and there stood a lean apology for the stately
oak or weeping elm ; accumulationa of red brick and
building material lay around loose; while in the beck
ground appeared a rieketty old structure in the shape of
a market shed. This latter feature of the place was
the most prominent one, and evidently of chief im
portance. roars ago this shedding constituted what
was far and widely known as the Fly 'Market, and
thither, on market dale, flocked the people of North
eastern Philadelphia, to purchase all those good things
that are essential to our grosser appetites. From this
depot of substantial meats and vegetables our city
forefathers and grandmothers procured the greater share
of their subsistence.
Subsequently the place fell into disuse; other tnarket
houses were erected throughout the rapidly-expanding
city, and almost in the Immediate .neighborhoed of the
once famed emporium. Of late years the old market
shedding remained entirely unoccupied, until pulled
down to make room for the present improvements to
Shackamaxon square.
The deeerted aspect of the old Fly market was long
the occasion for stories of impossible deeds of crime, al
leged to have been committed within its venerable pre
cincts. The toperetitiously-inclined avoided the place,
and;-the prevalent belief that the market place was
haunted has , dven rise to many a good Joke and hearty
laugh.
Font elly a fine large green, immediately opposite the
market, and gently eloping . to the river, afforded a p M
eant natural public square for the pleasure and accom
modation of the public. Here it was the custom of the
inhabitants of the township of Northern Liberties to as
semble in the cool of the afternoon and enjoy the breeze
from off the De/aware. Sportsmen from the surrounding
country Frequently visited the place known as Point
•Pleasant to• indulge in pigeon-ettooting—a species of
ammwment then greatly tn. vogue.
We are Indebted to David W. Sellers, EN., for a sketch
of the early history of the place. The market house was
erected In the year 1819, several adjoining lots on Beach
and Maiden streets having been granted by their owners
for that purpose. By the act of Assembly of March Bth,
1820,'(which incorporated the district of Kensington),
the control of the market house and lots was vested in
the commissioners of Kensington, who:enacted several or
dinances for the regulation of the place. By section 9, act
of April 90th, 1850, it was provided that the square should
thereafter be called Shackamaxon ',Square, and that
the commissioners of the district of Kensington should
keep 'aid square properly enclosed and planted with trees;
oleo, that no building should ever he erected thereon,land
it should be lawful for said commissioners to remove the
market house for the purpose 'of enlarging the square.
An ordinance approved July 31,1862, provides for the
removal of the market shedding in order to secure the
enlargement of the square, the substitution of an iron
railing for the old wooden fenco, and the planting of trees
and location of requisite comfortable seats.
The passage of the latter ordinance insuring the
im
provement of the square is due to the energy and persis
tency of Mr. Fox, of Select Council, chairman of the
Committee on City Property.
It is probable that the necessary alterations will be
completed during thenext few weeks.
THE LBAGITE-ISLAND PROJECT.—TiIe
commission appointed under the late act of Vongrets, ac
cepting the tender of a title to League Island, has at
length completed its examinations, and finally adjourned.
The commission ware in session in this city for several
weeks. It is understood that a majority, if not all the
members, are in, favor of locating the new navy yard at
League Wend.
