CHRISTMAS DAY, AND How IT WAS CELE imAa•r:n.—The hundred hands of Briareus, and the hundred eyes of Argus, would be required fully to see and adequately to describe within a limited space the multitudinous incidents and excitements of Christmas day and Christmas night. Not that these excitements and incidents were very unusually va ried or startling, however, but that Christmas-tide is always and proverbially a gay and festive time, and so universally so that a very acceptable variety 11 the developments of social and private life is pre sented. The pleasing pictures presented in the streets and in family circles might have elicited with advantage thecaticaturist or the scenic artist. With out, each and everybody, forgetting the poster pro mise of the "good time coming," solaced themselves with the good time come. Santa Claus, the god of the hour, waved his beneficent wand over landscapes of town and country, and brought from his fairy clime the spirit of its genial atmosphere. Within the house, green leaves and red blossoms intertwined in graceful wreaths, festooned walls awl columns, man tels and statuary. with vivid and variqptted bloom. The streets, noisy -indeed with the echoes, were quiet "locally" speaking, and aglow with the re- . tinted splendor of myriad happy homes. Christmas trees, amid the green of whose leaves, burned the yellow quivering flames of a hundred little candles, were hung with toys and sweetmeats, naked arch angels with trumpets, and sugar geese, tricolored . balls, and tiny topsy-turvy figures, resembling in their configuration a wooden descendant of "Dio genes in his tub," and the "lady with rings on her lingers and belts on her toes." Innumerable games were played, of which perhaps a few of the most laughable were the "Chair Dance," " Scientific :Sneezing," "What to it," "Scandal," &c. The screams of laughter, and all the incident racing and running, singing and dancing, cakes and wine, prolonged the festivities by their discussion, to a very late, and in many cases to a very early hour. THE HOSP ITA LS The scenes at the various hospitals during the day beggar all description. Through the kindness and patriotism of our noble ladies nt each of these in stitutions, a grand set-out was prepared for the sol diers. The buildings were gracefully festooned with evergreens and flags, which gave a very pleasing effect to the tables, which were profusely supplied with turkeys and the numerous other good things that make up a Christmas dinner. At the hospital Twelfth and Buttonwood streets a large Christmas•tree, reaching from the floor to the ceiling, was erected. The tree was bearing down with bags of tobacco, cigars, and oranges. At the root was laid an immense pile of pipes. The tree was also decorated with flags, presented for the pur pose by Messrs. Evans C Hassell. Immediately after dinner the soldiers maioti:ed around the tree, and as eachione passed he plucked oft a bag of to bacco and a bundle of cigars. The tree was pre pared by Mrs. Bennet, PerkenPine, Early, Rand, Ellis, and Gray, and was the cause of much merri ment among the soldiers and visitors at the hospi tal. . The 60th Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers, a Portion of the Banks Expedition, which is de tained in this city hi consequence of the steamer Niagara being .unseaworthy, was provided with a substantial dinner at the Refreshment Saloons. About 250 of them dined at the Cooper-Shop Saloon, where a number of speeches were made by the officers, and responded to by the officials at the sa loon. The Jefferson Cornet Band volunteered their services for the occasion, and discoursed some ex cellent music s After the repast there was a grand dress parade of the regiment. The day was also duly observed at all the hos pitals, and it isipleasingtto record that, notwithstand ing the home celebrations of Christmas Day, the poor fellows who are risking their lives in behalf of their country were not forgotten in a single instance by our benevolent and kind-hearted citizens. AmusTmENTs, ext,EnnArroNs, ETC The public places of amusement were all open during the day and evening, and were remarkably well attended. At each the bill offered was un usually attractive, and prepared expressly for the Christmas holidays. The usual festivities were observed at the North ern Home for Friendless Children, and other similar institutions. Several Sabbath-schools celebrated the day. The fifth Christmas festival of the Infant Sabbath-school of the Second Reformed Dutch Church, Seventh and Brown streets, was unusually spirited and attractive. The exercises were opened with an original hymn of welcome, by the main School, as the infant children entered the church. This was followed by the recitation of the 121st Psalm, and an anthem by the infant school. The other music, original and selected, was admirably adapted to the occasion, and was sung in beautiful style. The pastor's Christmas story was admirable, and should be.put in print. The number of children belonging to the infant school in attendance was 218, to each of whom a handsome book and certificate of membership was presented. A gentleman friend . presented no volumes of suitable character to the library of the school. Another presented a hand some set of panoramic Scripture views, of very large size. The exercises were closed by the pre sentation of a superb copy of Lippincott's finest Bagster Bible to the superintendent of the main school.. Everything went off admirably. - TAE NIILITA_TCY Among the few regiments forming in this city the day was properly observed. At the encampment of the Third Pennsylvania Artillery, Col.- Segebarth, on Cooper's Creek, Camden, the soldiers enjoyed themselves. Col. Segebarth granted the men more privileges than usual. Many delicacies were fur nished by the residents of Camden, and the time was happily spent. A mammoth Christmas tree, on the encampment ground, well filled wiih all that was desirable, attracted unusual attention. This treat, we understand, was fitted up by Adjutant Runkel, at his own expense. The regiment, under command of Col. J. E. Pey ton, now encamped near Haddonfield, N. J., were complimented with a very sumptuous dinner, given in Peyton Hall, by the citizens of the village. The men, under command of Capt. W. H. Page, marched through the village with sabres and new uniforms, making a handsome and Imposing appearance. On entering the hall, they were formed for dinner,which commenced after an appropriate blessing from the Nev. Samuel Hallowell, of the Episcopal Church. After dinner, col. Peyton.thanked the citizens on behalf of the regiment. Altogether, the affair passed oil rely pleasantly. ' ARCH-STREET METHODIST EPISCOPAL OM:cit.—At a very pleasant meeting of the (Adel members of the Sabbath-school teachers connected With this church, which took place on Christmas eve, at the residence of George Cooktnan, Esq., in West Arch street, the Rev. A. Rittenhouse, their much-beloved pastor, was presented with a beautiful purse, well tilled with "green hacks." He was pre_ sent at the social gathering, and was much surprised by this unlooked-for mark of love and esteem. The purse was presented on behalf of the donors by Mr. James hi. Bryson. After this scene had passed, an other of a rare but pleasant character occurred. A silver cup was presented to John Stehman Collins, theyoungest child of Mr. John Collins, and the first-born and baptized child in this new church. It was presented on behalf of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. C. by Mr. James R. White, in a very neat speech. The whole scene was one of peculiar de light and pleasure, and certainly exhibits a high social. Christian fellowship in the membership of this new and vigorous organization, and further evinces a vely great success In the building up of a new congregation in the west anti of our city. On Christmas evening the first Chrisinas Sab bath-school celebration took place in the hall north east corner of Broad and Arch streets, now used by them as a place of worship. It was neatly- and tastefully decorated with evergreens, festooned on the walls and chandeliers the word "Jesus" was handsomely illuminated in large gold letters, and wreathed with the evergreens, and placed upon the side of the walls, and back of the chancel. In the extreme end inside of the chancel; a large Christ mas tree was put up, and its branches filled with little bags containing sweetmeats, flags, and toys for the Sabbath-school children. The order of exor cises was singing, addresses, and declamation by boys and girls, after which the gifts were distributed to the scholars of the school, by Messrs. Geo. Cook man (superintendent) and John M. Davis—and it was a gay and joyous time for the little ones. The whole entertainment was satisfactory and de lightful to the large congregation present. The sing ing of this school excels in their sweet songs of melody. This celebration, both in the addresses and declamation, as well as the entire spirit of it, was a decided success. THE FIFTIETH MASSACHUSETTS REGl much—Five companies of the 60th Regiment of Mag. sachusetts volunteers, who were sent out from New York City on the condemned steamer "Niagara," and which put in here in distress, are still at the re freshment saloons waiting for another vessel to em bark in, when they will join the Expedition. The vessel is expected daily from New York with com pany H, of the same regiment, on board, which-com pany was left in that city. The balance of this regi ment sailed from New York in the "Jersey Blue," and have put into Port Royal in distress. This regiment is composed of a tine and orderly class of men. Though they have had the- liberty of the city for many days, no disorder or drunkenness has been reported. They have not lost a man by de sertion. On Sunday, both in the morning and eve ning, most of them attended church, -A very large number of letters have been written by them from here and they speak well of the attention they have received from the ladies and gentlemen of the re. 'regiment saloons. Such a regiment is an honor to any State. The following is a list ofr.officers of detachment of 60th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers, now in this city : Colonel, C. P. Messer; Lieutenant Colonel, John W. Locke ; Major,johnHodges, Jr. A. Surgeon, Wil liam Cogswell ; Adjutant, Henry Wentworth; quartermaster, Henry D.

He was a member of the 95th Pennsylvania, and was much respected and loved by his fellow -soldiers. "His funeral takes place to-day. Among those who fell at the battle of Fredericks ',burg -wail Capt. John Horn, of the 4oth New York -. Volunteers.

SOMETIITNG ABOUT THE AMBULANCES OP TBL CITY FIRE COMPARIES.—When Commo dore Pendergrast, an old and distinguished officer, and late Commandant of the Navy Yard of this city, was seized, while on his way to his post of duty, on the morning of the 4th of November, by the attack which eventually carried him oft; he was taken from the yard to his residence by the ambulance of the Southwark Hose Company, the services of which were called for and cheerfully rendered. This vehicle is one of a number which have been put in operation by various fire companies that were actuated there to partly by a patriotic desire to relieve the Govern ment of a portion of its burden, and partly from humane motives. Their object is to transport sick and wounded soldiers to the hospitals more carefully and with a greater regard for their comfort than it would be accomplished by persons who wished to make it a - matter of profit. The different companies engaged in this work acted without concert until the loth of September, when their delegates met at the hall of the "North ern Liberty Hose Company," and adopted the reso lution : " That the Fire Department of Philadelphia, confident that they have the means, will, in con junction with the citizens, provide conveyance gra tuitously to cagy all the sick and wounded soldiers to the hospitals." After this meeting the persons Who had received the "job" from Government re tired from their contract, and left the field in pos session of the firemen. Those few companies, par ticipants in this enterprise, who have not yet ob tained their regular ambulances, are having them made as rapidly as possible andbefore the beginning of the ensuing year twen - -three will be ready for service. These, united, will be able to carry, of men who can sit up. 216; or, 150, sixty of whom may be extended at full length. It would be difficult, if not. impossible, to ascertain the exact number they have conveyed since their labors commenced as in some cases no accurate accounts have been kept. They will average, however, at the very least, 2:50 for each company, making, in all, 5,700 men—a large number, when it is considered that they competed with the contractors before spoken of, and many . citizens who were anxienfig to assist. The Northern Liberty Hose, the engine company of the same name, the Good Intent Engine, the West Philadelphia and Independence Hose Com panics are indebted to the liberality of Mr. Henry Simons, one of our leading wagim manufacturers, for their ambulances, which he made and gave to . them ; the firm of Wilson & Childs, also wagon- . makers, presented vehicles to the America - Engine and Cohocksink Hose Companies; the others were made by order of their respective companies, and their cost defrayed by private subsdription ; some of these are, or'will be, very handsome and showy af fairs—the most costly of them belong to the South wark Hose, Vigilant Engine, Hope Hose, Wecen cost and Washington Engine Companies. The lat ter is not yet finished. The Diligent Engine is also building a very handsome conveyance, the cost of which will not be far from $5OO. Whether these will prove more useful than their more lunpretending . rivals is a question that time alone can decide, but it is certain that the projectors of all of them are equally entitled to credit, for they are actuated by the same motives-and give according to their means. The coat of keeping them in service will amount to very little more than-the wear and tear; for, with two exceptions, the Globe Engine and Neptune Hose, the companies owning them have steam fire engines, the horses of which are used. The contin gency of a fire breaking out during the absence of the ambulances has not yet occurred ; should it so happen the members will hare pluck enough'to run their steamers by hand. When .the alarm-bell strikes the signal (9 and 6) for an arrival of sick and wounded, they harness up immediately, and, after learning from the nearest police telegraph station where they are wanted, are very soon on the spot. DECISIONS UNDER THE EXCITE LAW.— Some of the mineral water manufacturers of this city made returns to the assessors rating the taxable value of the mineral water sold by them at the sum at which they would have sold It by the gallon, and not from the sum actually received from the sale in bottles. J. Fletcher Budd, Esq., assessor of the Third district, knowing that nine-tenths of their sales are made by the dozen bottles, and that they collect the bottles again on being emptied, rejected the returns and called the attention of the manu lecturers to the section which says the value "shall be estimated by the actual sales made by the manu facturer." This action of Mr. Budd has been con firmed by the Chief Commissioner of Revenue, who adds that manufacturers " may be allowed to deduct the coat of the bottles which are actually sold and not to be returned." It has also been decided that looking-glass and picture-frames are manufactures, and subject to tax as such, but the placing of the mirror or picture in the frame does not constitute a new manufacture, nor render the article liable to additional taxation. Furniture, finished, with the exception of oiling, waxing, painting, or varnishing, on which the excise dutythas been paid, shall not be subject to additional taxation in consequence of such oiling, waxing, painting or varnishing. The addition of a marble slab to tables or other fur niture is not construed as the production of a new manufacture, provided that I he taxes on the materials have been previously paid. Mattresses area manufacture, and liable to taxa tion as such. All articles which are so well known and so gene rally used as to have a commercial value must be taxed as manufacture& ).I:I7.6TNUT-HILL nOSPITAL.---This fine hospital will be opened. in a few days. All the nurses who have not reported for duty are requested to do so before Saturday. TUE CASE OF THOMAS J, DUFFIELD.-- Yestesday afternoon, the Committee of Common Council appointed to investigate the case of Thomai J. Duffickl, charged with being disqualified as a mem ber of Councils, reassembled in Comma Chamber at 8 o'clock, Mr. Quin in the chair. • Three witnesses, Henry Noble, Hugh Duffy, and George Schen6k, were examined. They testified to having been employed at the U. S. Arsenal by 1' r. Duffield, whom they always respected as the Gene ral Superintendent of the yriird. Mr. Sellers, who appearea for Mr. Duffield, stated that he was willing to admit that Mr. Duffield exer cised the power of employing workmen; lie there— fore thought that to call more witnesses to establish the fact of such authority being exercised was use less. •. The testimony having been closed, Mr. Sellers ad dressed the committee. lie remarked that nowhere but before a committee, did he think it would be taken as testimony, that a man is a superintendent because it was thought so by laboring men, who really knew nothing about it. He referred to the Consolidation act, and stated that• while there was a provision in it for contested elections, there is none disqualifying any member from being a member of Councils after he is elected, provided he is at the time eligible, except in cases of bribery and misde meanor. if a man be elected who is ineligible, the remedy is with the people of the want who elected him. If the citizens of the Eighteenth ward believe that Mr. Duffield is disqualified, and do not wish him to represent them, the Court of Common Pleas nifty oust him, on the petition of those citizens. According to the precedent which Coun cils have attempted to establish, a party majority can oust any opposition member, and there can be no appeal. It is the duty of Common Council, for the first time, now to lay down the precedent which will cover their action hereafter. If this case shall be disposed of according to its merits, and a strict regard to the law, Councils will have shown a high regard for justice, decency, and law. If it shall be established as a precedent that Mr. Duffield is not entitled to his seat, you will say that any party has the power to oust any member when they have the power to put in force their declaration. The 48. th section of the act of 1854 declares the holding of cer tain offices Incompatible. It says that "No member of the City Councils shall at the same time be a member of the Guardians of the Poor, Board of Health, Controller of the Public Schools, Inspector of the County Prison." It-is further declared that no man shall hold at the same time two offices under the Municipal Government. When it is not ex pressly stated that it is incompatible for a man to be ft member of Councils while he is also an officer of the Federal Government, what 'really does it mat• ter? lie is not a burden upon the city treasury. Mr. Quin, interrupting, asked whether Councils did not hftve the right to declare a seat vacant when the member cannot attend to his duties on account of the position he holds under the Government. Mr. Sellers, resuming, said that he would answer that question by calling attention to the fact that the citizens of the First ward, at the last election, elected Mr. Dunk a member of the Common Council. He has never been in his seat to attend to the per formance of his duties ; yet, without there is a posi tive legislative power conferred upon the• Councils, they cannot declare that gentleman's seat vacant, because he does not attend every Thursday. If a member accepts any position, by which he cannot faithfully discharge his duties as a Councilman, that is a matter with his own conscience. Mr. Sellers next cited the case of Mr. Meredith, formerly a district attorney, of the United States, who, while he held that position, was also a member of Select Council. In that Council, :fudge Shars wood, Henry J: Williams, Charles Gilpin, and other eminent citizens were members. Mr. Meredith, be fore he took his seat in Council, submitted to that body whether the act of 1838 disqualified him from being a member, because he was a Federal officer. They said "no?' and he remained in both offices, and discharged both faithfully. As to the question, whether Mr. Duffield was an officer of the 'United States, the speaker inquired what would be the procedure if a. man desired to know who was the Commissioner of City Property? If a carter dumps a load of gravel to the injury of the public, • according to the orders of that officer, would it be proper to take the testimony of that carter as to who he thought WAS the CoMmissioner of City Property. Any sane man would look tothe ordinances of Councils to inquire whether such an officer existed ; he would inquire at the proper office who that man may be, and then institute his pro ceedings. When it is said that a person is an officer of the State, it is of course implied that thrit'person is appointed to an office created by act of Assembly. The Constitution of the United States determines who are officers under the Government. There is no proof that Thomas J. Duffield holds any Federal office under the Constitution or act of Congress. Every appointment in the Quartermaster's Depart.. ment, U. S. A., carries with it a commission, and every officer in that department is either lieutenant, captain, colonel, lieutenant colonel, or brigadier general. Mr. Duffield does not wear any such title. There is no law creating hia office, and it is not pre tended that Mr. Duffield has been appointed by the President of the United States, by and with the consent of the Senate. Mr. Sellers next quoted from Common Council journal of 1356, the proceedings of that body in re gard to the case of Daniel McCleary, a member, who was charged, also, with being a Federal officer. A resolution was adopted, the preamble of which set forth that Mr. McCleary was a Councilman, while he was also a master plumber at the Navy Yard. The resolution was to the effhet that, inasmuch as it was thought that the two offices were incompatible, the matter be referred to the Committee on Law. That committee never reported ; but it was found that Mr. McCleary held his appointment front the commandant of the yard, and was not a commissioned officer of the Government. The committee thought they had no power to act upon the matter. They learned that Mr. McCleary was not an officer of the United States, within the sense used in legislative documents. Mr. Duffield's case is Mr. McCleary's case, exactly. In conclusion, Mr. Sellers urged that the com mittee would psoceed cautiously in the matter be fore them. Their action is all-Important to. the people of the Eighteenth ward, as it is to the citi zens of the entire city, for no member of Councils should be expelled without good and sufficient rea son, on account of the injury it would inflict upon the voters of the city. Mr. Gowen, who appeared for the petitioners, opened his speech by reminding the committee that Councils have by law a right to determine as to the qualifications of their own members. It is a duty which every member of Councils owes his con stituents to institute -an inquiry when occasion offers, as to the right of a fellow-member to the seat which he holds. It may be a disagreeable duty. In this case it was peculiarly disagreeable. ' Mr. Gowen said that, assuming the right of Councils to inquire into, the qualifications of its own mera hers Common Council shoulcl,• in this case, pro ceed, not as in cases of contested elections, because this is not a contested seat, but as in cases, where causes exist which disqualify a member of Councils. The law by which no Councilman can at the same time be a Federal officer, was passed with a jealous regard for State rights. It was no doubt thought that it was prejudicial to the public interests for the Federal officers to ingratiate themselves into State offices. Any law conceived in this spirit should be especially followed in a time like this. After show ing that Councils had the right to expel any mem ber who was a Federal officer, he proceeded to prove that Mr. Duffield did hold an office under the Fede ral Government. It had been shown by the wit nesses that Mr. Duflield's .office was a moat impor tant one. Colonel Crosman stated before the com mittee that his office.was one of great responsibility. It is unnecessary to show by whom he was • ap pointed. We have a right to presume that, holding the office, • he holds it under the Constitution and laws of the United States. The word "office was to be construed according to its popular sense, and in that sense Mr. Duffield is an officer of the Govern ment. • Dlr. Sellers replied to Mr. Gowen, admitting the importance attached to the official position of Mr. Duffield; but it had not been proven that Mr. D. was any more an officer of the Government than the humblest laborer in the yard. Neither the laborer nor' the superintendent obtained hie situation from any . power at Washington. After some further argument the committee met in private, but subsequently adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman. ARRIVAL OF AN IRON-CLAD FLOATING ilarrtniv.—The iron-clad floating-battery Patapsco arrived at this port on Wednesday night, from Wil mington. During yesterday ehe laid in the river opposite Kaighn's Point, and attracted considerable attention. A number of row boats were engaged during the day in taking passengers, at so much per head, to within seeing distance of the singular looking craft. The Camden steamboats passed along side the vessel in their trips, and afforded an ex cellent view. The Patapsco is one of the nine iron clad batteries contracted for by Oapt. Ericsson, is &14 tons, and • carries two guns. Although likte the new Monitors in every way at present, yet, when armed, she will differ from most of them. One of her guns will probably be a rifled cannon instead of the unsual 11-inch smooth bore used in the Passaic, Montauk, and Weehawken. This change in her bat tery has been made because she is likely to partici pate in a peculiar line of service. She was built at Wihnington and comes to our navy yard for her armam en t, etc. Thepatapsco la as been so constructed that at no time will the guns of the vessel be liable to any damage from the projectiles of the enemy, as the muzzles do not protrude out of their shield. The number of men required to work her guns will be less than ordinarily required. Time appliance to carry off the concussion and smoke is simple and ingenious and is a secret known only to government officials. This vessel will remain 'but a short time at this port, and will be despatched to more active scones as soon as possible. THE SUNDAY- SCROOL TEACHER'S DIARY • AND ALMAWAC.—The "Sunday-school Teacher's Diary and Almanac for 1863," is a neat and tasteful affair. The mottoes and quotations which adorn the top and bottom of every page, and which are select ed from the hest and purest sources, are graceful ar rangements, and altogether the little work is most ski/lull) , executed. ACCEPTANCE OF A CALL.—The Har Sinai congregation of this city have tendered to Rev. Dr. S. Deutsch, of Philadelphia, a call which he has ac cepted. This gentleman occupies a high station among the people of his faith, and is an eminent He brew divine. THE• POLICE. (Before Mr. Alderman Beltler.) Alleged Professional Pkekpockets. Henry Farmer, Eugene Ahern, and John Keyser, alleged to be professional pickpockets, were ar raigned before Alderman Beitler at the Central Station. They were arrested by an officer of the ge neral police, whose evidence we give verbatim: At quarter past ten o'clock in the morning, I ob served these three persons at Second and Willow streets; I mistrusted their business; I went- up Second Street after two of them; they stopped at Noble street; two of them came back, and they made fun of me; and I went over and arrested them. Q..Hoir did they make fun of you? A. They laughed at me; I suppose they thought I was a Rat. Q. Was the street crowded? A. No sir. ' not on the side where they were; they were not on the market side. Q. Did you see them on the crowded aide 1 A. No sir. Edward Carlin (detective), on being qualified, identified the prisoners as professional pickpockets. The evidence here closed. The.tnagistrate, in con clusion, said that. under the evidence he did not feel warranted, he was• sorry to say, in committing the defendants under the ninety-days law. Ho would exact bail in the sum of $1,600 each to be of future good behavior and to keep the peace. In default of bail the prisoners were committed. Alleged Horse Theft. A man named, or rather giving the name of Ely, was held to bail yesterday morning, by Alderman Willer, on the charge of stealing a horse some time since in this city, and selling the same to a person residing at Athemmille, on the Lancaster turnpike, a short distance from the city. The animal belonged to Martin Fisher. The accused was arrested in Lancaster, by Officer Hamilton, of the Reserve. Corps, who brought him to this city on Christmas evening. Goods Identified. • A number of storekeepers on Chestnut and Eighth . streets visited the Central Station within a day or two to examine the goodS found in the possession of Bridget Ward, Margaret Montgomery, Fanning, and Kelly, whose arrest was chronicled in The Press on Wednesday. A portable writing-desk was identi fied by Mr. Pugh. It was stolen from his store a few days ago. Messrs. Biter of North Eighth street, Wei:Ai:fled some dry goods. There were seve ral other parties who recognized some of their pro perty. The prisoners will have a hearing at two o'clook this afternoon, at the Central Station. • ' Promptly Arrested. Officers Levy and Taggart, about noon on Wednes day, arrested four professional pickpockets, on Se cond street near Walnut. ' They had just arrived from New York, and were about to commence ope rations upon unsuspecting persons. The parties were taken to the Central Station. Their arrest was made on the " ounce-of-prevention 3 principle, and finally, after considerable parley, were liberated on condition of submitting to the photographic process and then leaving the city. One of the party pledged his "honor." that he did not intend to operate in Philadelphia. They all pledged their." honors " to leave the city by the next train. They gave the names of Alfred Heald, James A. Sutherland, Geo. Hart, and William Buckley. Their photographs will he added to the detective's gallery in the course of a few days. A Model Officer. Last evening, a one-armed soldier waa arraigned before Alderman Beltler, on the charge of carrying a concealed deadly weapon. It seems that he was wounded in one of the recent battles down South, lost an arm, and obtaining a furlough, started home ward in the same clothing he had on when he came out of the battle. He siMply desired his relatives and friends in New York to see as nearly as possible how he looked when he was taken from the field of strife. He had a pistol in a belt around his body. He had defended himself with this weapon. It was the gift of companions. With it he had shot down se veral of the enemies to the Government. It wasdis played in full view. While passing down Chestnut street, attracting, as he did, more than usual atten tion, he was arrested by Officer Robinson, who pre ferred against him the charge of carrying concealed deadly weapons. The alderman promptly diiMiised the defendant.. (Before Mr. Alderman Miller. 3 Larceny of Wash-Clothes. Mary - McCarron, aged fourteen years;and Catha rine Raviland, aged sixteen years, the latter having been married a short time since, were arraigned on Wednesday before Alderman Miller, in the Twenty fourth ward, on the charge of the larceny of wash clothes, the proper:ty of Francis McCalla. residing on Ludlow (formerly - Oak) street, near Thirty-sixth street, West Philadelphia: We learn from the police officer that, during a short time past, a number of residents in the " West-end" have been robbed. A few nights ago a whole "wash," theproperty of Mr. Herbert, residing at Thirty-fifth and Race streets, was stolen. The next evening the family of Mr. Lough lin, residing in the vicinity - , were victimized. So were live or six other families. On Tuesday night, while Mr. McCalla was sitting quietly in the retire ment of his home, he heard a noise in the yard. On going out a couple of females darted through the gateway at full speed. He gave chase and the alarm, and arrested one of the fugitives, while a police officer captured the other. The younger of the two prisoners told on her companion, and said she did the stealing . . The articles taken from the premises of Mr. McCalla were dropped during the flight of the parties. They were recovered and identified. The accused were held to await a further hearing. [Before Mr. Alderman Dougherty.] Trundling A Barrow on the Sidewalk. It would be well enough for people whose business requires them to use wheelbarrows to remember that it is against the. law to push such vehicles on the sidewalk. The police officers as a general thing, admonish all found violating this whole Some law, for the Drat time, It sometimes happens that men thus adlnontshed do not pay proper heed, and there fore are likely - to be arrested and fined.' This was the case on Wednesday, in regard to John CHII, who was arraigned before Alderman Dougherty for wheeling a barrow on the sidewalk at Second and Race streets, thereby Impeding the general travel. He had been spoken to several times, but did not seem to take proper heed. He was fined accord ingly. Larceny of Cantina. Early yesterday morning a man calling himself Charles Mifflin was arrested on Delaware avenue, near Market street, having in his possession a quan tity of canvas, supposed to have been stolen from a vessel. He was taken before Alderman Dougherty, who committed him to answer: The accused admit ted that he stole the canvas, but would not say where or from whom. • (Before Mr. Afderman White.) Fast Driving. David Jones was taken before Alderman White, on Wednesday afternoon, on the charge of driving his dray down Market-street hill at an immoderate Speed, thereby endangering the lives and limbs of people generally. Just as a number of ladies were crossing Delaware avenue, to the ferry boat on the upper side of Market street, Jones drove his horse so rapidly around that one of the party came very near being knocked down by the horse. Her escape was miraculous. Jones drove onward, apparently heedless of consequences. He was arrested shortly after, and taken at once to the Alderman's office. In answer to • a question propounded by the magis trates the defendant admitted that he came very near running over the lady. ' "Why did you drive so fast in such a crowded throughfare 1" " Bekase (replied the defendant) the boss had sixty hogsheads to put in and he was hurrying us up. I tried to stop my horse and couldn't." The defendant was fined for fast driving. Larceny of Coats. Thomas Hughes anti James Philips, a couple of ill-looking men, hailing last front New Jersey, were committed by Alderman White to answer the charge of stealing two coats from the residence of Thomas Donaghy al= , on South street, above Sixth. It is a leged that, on Christmas evening, the accused boldly walked into the house of Kr. D., and putting off their own ragged garments, put on the coats'of the prosecutor. When asked if they had any explana tion to make, they were particularly dumb. (Before Mr. Alderman lfeCahem3 Alleged Forgery Case. There was a final hearing yesterday afternoon in the case of a contractor for street-paving, alleged to have presented a certificate to the Highway De partment, being a petition for the paving of a cer tain street in the First ward. Mr. Landy, the Chief Commissioner of Highways, Bridges, and Sewers, *as called to the stand. The pith of his evidence watt, that when it was charged that certain names to the petition had been forged, the applicant did not press his claim for the contract. The petition had been presented by another man. There are about thirty names signed to it, being a majority of the owners of property on the section of street to be paved. It was not alleged by the counsel for the prosecution that the contractor had really forged the name of any person to the petition. It was con tended by the counsel for the defence that the de feridant could have had no guilty knowledge, there fore no guilty intent. These are the main points in the case. The Alderman thought that a jury should pronounce upon it, and required bail in the sum of $5OO. A habeas corpus writ will probably issue in order to bring the affair, before the judges of the court, with the view of having the defendant dis charged. [Before Mr. Alderman Shaw.) Alleged Robbery of au. Employer. Henry,William a colored man, employed for some time past in a jewelry store at Newton Square, in Delaware county, was arraigned before Alderman Shaw yesterday morning, on the charge of stealing a watch from his employer. He was taken into cus tody at or near the drove yard at Sixty-sixth and Vine streets. The defendant was handed over to the authorities of Delaware county for trial. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania—Mr. Justice Read. THE CASE OF THE EVENING istrux,rix. • Peacock et al., vs. Chambers et al. Supreme Court, Eastern District, January Term, 1863. No. 63. In Equity. Read, J. I heard emotion fora special injunction in this case upon the bill filed, and affidavits on both sides ; but, believing that it was the interest of both parties to have a speedy final hearing, I caused it to b e so expedited, that it was fully argued before one on the 6th inst., on bill, answer, replication and proofs. The evidence consisted of the articles of association of the plaintiffis and defendants of the Bth February, 1880, under the name, style, and firm of Peacock, Chambers, ll Co.,the commissions ofJames S. Cham bers as navy agent for the port of Philadelphia of 30th April, and 10th August, 1861; the minute-book of the association, and of a notice from Blr..Alexaii der. Cummings, Of the 12th November, 18e2., hip Mews. Peacock, Chambers & Co. • ~ The stock of the partnership was valued at fifty thousand dollars, and divided into fifty shares of one thousand dollars each. Each share was entitled to .one vote, and a -concurring .majority of 'the whole number of shares or votes to be necessarylor every decision, except in the eases wherein it was other wise provided. Voting by proxy (the authority being in writing) 'allowed. The association was to continue for the full term of five years from the first of February, 1880. The seventh article is in these words : "Act editor TIM PRESS. --- PRILADELPHIA: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1862. • The defendant, Chambers, answers that "on the Bth February, 1860, he was selected and chosen pub lisher of the said newspaper, and it -was distinctly understood and agreed by and between all the par ties to the said partnership, and by and between the, said respondent and the said partners, that the term of five years was assigned between themselves, and agreed upon with him, for the' term of his employ ment, and that heyvits not to be discharged from his said office and employment during the said term.". And he further says, in answer to tlfe first sentence of the fourth interrogatory : "If it is meant to im ply that he held the office, subject at any time to be discharged therefrom, without notice, or -previous complaint, without just cause, and at the mere whim and caprice of the complainants, the defendant answers the question in the negative. The answers of the two other defendants are substantially the same. The only evidence on this point is the first minute in the minute-book of the first meeting of the association, .on the 19th. of March, 1860, stating: " The association went into an election for editor, publisher, register, and secretary, with the following result: publisher, James B. Chambers; editor, Gib son Peacock ; register, F. Fetherston • secretary, Casper tiouder, jr.," and the statement article 2, that " the business to be conducted in the name, strle and firm of Peacock, Chambers, & Co." the mistake, if it be one, as to date, was mutual, and it is evident, from the second article, that Messrs. Peacock and Chambers were intended, from the beginning; to fill the two most important posts in the association. Under these circumstances, according to the doc trine of equity, I must assume the answers of the. defendants, which are responsive to the matter. stated in the bill and interrogated above, to be con clusive evidence in their favor, there not being even the testimony of one opposing witness. The plain t:Wl), therefore, fail on this point. The next question is (it being proved that his.em ployment was for a term of five years) whether the other Allegations were sufficient to justify his re moval. Mr. Chambers had held the office of navy agent from the 80th of April, 1861, to the 19th of Au gust, 1862, a period of fifteen months and a half, ap parently Without complaint, and the minutes show that the dividend declared for the preceding six months, on the 22d of July, 1862, of twelve per cent., was double' the dividend' for the corremmdiu, six months in 1861. . •" ' The reason assigned for the removal of Mr. Cham bers in the preamble of the resolutions of the - 16th August, that the performance of, the duties of the important Government office- held by the Present publisher of the BuHenn interferes with the per;- formance of his duties as publisher, does not appear from an examination of the minutes to be .the only one, I will not say the true one. There appears to have been a radical difference of opinion about the management of the paper, which culminated in the attempt to remove Mr; Chambers. Now I cannot say that the simple holding of this office disqualifies Mr: Chambers from continuing as publisher, and so the association appear to have thought until this difference of opinion occurred. He may perform all the duties of publisher to their fullest extent, and if so, it is rather a matter for the Government to inquire if his duties to them are. performed to their satisfaction. The neglebt of his duties as publisher, and that his continuance as such xvill result in the destruction of the paper, as alleged by the plaintiffe l aro denied expressly, by all the de fendants, in their answers, and they also all assert that Mr. Fetherston is - entirely unqualified to fill that post. - , , , , . I am, therefore, 'bound by . the • evidence to say, that as there is not even a single opposing witness on the part of the plaintiffs that they have entirely failed in making out any case, as stated in their bill, for the removal of Mr. Cham bers for cause. I should have been glad if our rules of evidence had permitted all these par ties to have been examined viva voce, in open court, when the. merits .of the case would have been fully understood, and the decision might have been founded upon a clear view of the whole subject, : matter of the dispute. The written answer of a defen dant gets only a portion of the truth, whilst the other mode would get the whole truth out of both plaintiff and defendant, in that species of exambia lion which has been found to be the surest means of eliciting the real facts of a transaction. The lease.acquired by Mr. Cummings must be as signed to the partnership. I have decided this cause on the evidehee iiresent ed to me, and I cannot help expressing a hope that these difficulties may be amicably settled by the parties themselves; for it is evident, if these disputes are continued, the property and income of the asso ciation must be greatly deteriorated,fif not destroyed, by them. The bill is dismissed. - - I Supreme Court at Nisi Prins--In Equity, Justice Strong. t The Mahanoy and Broad Mountain Railroad Com-. Pally Va. The Minehill and Schuylkill Haven Rail road Company. This was an application on bill 1 and affidavits for an injunction to compel the per ' foimance by .defendants of a certain agreement for the transporting of the coal ears of complainant over their road to and from a coal breaker in Centreville basin, where they were to be loaded, to the point where theroad of complainants connects with that of ' defendants. _ . i The complainants allege that under their act of in- I. corporation they have constructed a railroad 'front ILocust Dale, in Conynghain township, Columbia county, eastwardly through the Mahanoy valley, . across the Broad Mountain, connecting by means of lan intervening railroad With the Philadelphia and . Reading Railroad, and also with the railroad of the defendants at Big Mine Run. That in March, 1864 they proposed connecting their railroad with that Of the defendants, and to . i' cross the same at Dig Mine Run, but the defendants I refused their permission, and filed a bill in equity in I this court, to restrain the complainants, here, from I' making the proposed connection and crossing. In I: that suit a decree was entered by the court that com plainants, here, had the right to make the proposed. crossings and connections, and the same were after wards made in the manner prescribed by the'court. After the making of this decree the defendants and. complainants entered into a contract by which the 1 defendants agreed that if the complainants should make any connection in the valley of the Big Mine ' Run, of their railroad with the railroad of the de-. fendants, leading to the foot of the self-acting in-' dined plane, then they would, thereafter; for certain prices, receive from the complainants all empty coal .. , cars offered by them and transport the same in their.: proper turn to, and deliver the same at the coal breaker on the Centreville basin, upon the line of ' their railroad, and return them, loaded, to the point . where the roads connect. That two connections were made with the road of defendants, one of them on the east side and the other on ie west side of the road in the valley of the Big Mine Run, and complainants' cars were then, from time to time, transported to and from the , coal-breaker at; Centreville Basin, according to the agreement, over the road of defendants, but after wards, when other cars were offered by the com plainants, the defendants refused to transport them over their road, although the complainants have 'al ways been, and are ready and twilling to pay de fendants for the transportation of said cars according to the terms of their contract. Equitable relief is prayed for in the form above stated. The case was called up. yesterday morning, but Ivenfover, to be called up again on notice.

A register was also to be duly appointed, and as sistant editors, reporters, correspondents, news col lectors, printers, agents, clerks, and other persons re quisite and necessary -for the due and proper conduct of the business of the association, to be employed from time to time, and for such term or time, and at such rate of compensation or salary, as shall be deemed proper and judicious by the editor and pub lisher, except in cases where they shall have been specially directed by a resolution of the proprietors. The bill stated that the plaintiffs were the holders of twenty-seven shares, and the defendants of twen ty-three shares, and that on the Bth February, 1860, James S. Chambers, one of the defendants, was elected the publisher of the daily and weekly paper, conducted by the said- copartnership ; but neither at the time of his employment, nor subsequently, was any term assigned to the duration 'of his employ ment, and thathe continued holding said position at the will of the Plaintiff's, until the 16th August, 1862, and during his employment as publisher aforesaid, he did not devote his skill, care, and attention to the said department, but in the month of. April, A. D. 1861, accepted from the Government 'of the United States the appointment to the officeof Navy Agent of Philadelphia, and since that period the duties of the said office have occupied the time, care, skill, and attention of the said James S:• Chambers to the exclusion of the. interests of said (*partnership, whereby the plaintiffh and their said business mate rially, suffered. That the association, on the 16th of August, 1862, taking into consideration the matter above men tioned, and that the true interests of the copartner ship imperatively required a change in the head of the publishing department of the said paper, at a re gular meeting of the said association, held on that day, bra majority of votes, passed a resolution re moving the said James S. Chambers, as publisher of said paper, and appointing one of the plaintiffh, Ferdinand L. retherstoriiin 'his stead. • The bill then states that, the defendants will not permit the said Fetheraton to act as publisher of said paper in.place of said Chambers, and that his right so to act is denied b,y them. It further al leges that the continuance of said Chambers as pub lisher will result in'the destliictibn'of the paper, and that said Fetherston is in all respects qualified to act as publisher of said paper, and that his qualifica tions in this respect are not denied by the defen dants, or any of them. - That the defendants at tames pretend that the sai' James S. Chambers is competent to aet therein, and that the interests of said partnership do not suffer; under his publication of the paper, and at other times they assert that. the plaintiffs had not the right to pass said resolu tion of said 16th of August, 1862. Both of which pretences the plaintiffs deny. . There are six interrogatories founded on these al, legations, and the prayer of the bill_ is that the: fle;'. fondants may be perpetually enjoined and restrained from denying to the 'said . Fetherston the right to publish such paper, and from interfering with him, and from refusing to him access to said paper, and property of said copartnership, and from disobeying or Interfering in any way with' the resolution passed on the 16th day of August, A. D. 1862. The three defendants, James S. Chambers, Alex ander Cummings, and Thomas J. Williamson, have filed separate answers, responsive to the bill, but containing other matters not material in the pres ent decision. It is conceded thatjames S. Chambers was elected the publisher, and that he was removed by the reso lution of the 16th - August, 1862, if that was a legal and proper act, and Ferdinand L. Fetherston elected in his stead. The first question, then,.ls, Was hire Chambers' employment at thOwill of the association, or was it for any term that had not expired at the time of the passage of the resolution? The third interrogatory is in these -words : " Whether, on the eighth day of. February, A. D. 1860, or at any, other, and What times, the said de.; fendant, James S. Chambers, - was not elected publisher of said daily paper, and whether at any time, any term was assigned for the duration - of his employment?" and the fourth interrogatory follows this up with this question : " Whether said :fames S. Chambers has not continued.in said position, at the will of your orators, until- the 16th day of August, A. D. 16021" PROPOSALS. COAL. TN .

Such a remedy is surely wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that onewhich will accomplish their cure must prove of im mense service to this large class of our afflicted fellow citizens. Mow completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found in the following complaints: Scum:La 'AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS, ERUPTIONS AND ERUPTIVE DISEASEJ3, 'ULCERS., II3IPLES,IJLOTCHES, TCHORP, SALT RHEUM, SCALD' READ, SYPHILIS AND SY PHILITIC AFFECTIONS. MERCURIAL DISEASE. DROPSY, NEURALGIA OR Tic .DOLOREUX, DEBILITY, DYSPEPSIA AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS: HOSE OR ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE. and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD. This compound will be found a. great promoter of health when taken in the spring to expel the foul ha ulers which fester in the blood at that season of the year. By the timely expulsion of them many rankling disor ders aro nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions. if not as sisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitla-* ted blood whenever you dud its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; cleanse it when you dud it is obstructed and sluggish In the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better' health, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; but with the pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. During late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsa parilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only oontain little, if any, Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood tke market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we haveground for believing it has virtues which are irre sistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. ' Prepared by DR. 3. C.

The first cure was performed nearly three years ago, the second was- performed nearly one year ago, the third about one year, and hundreds more of like cases might be shown. • • • • READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY. abet twelve 'months age -I had a severe attaok of Des, attended with other difficulties too numerous to mention. My 'desire for drink was constant, and al though I drank gallons per day, my thirst was never allayed ; I. was only• able to sleep at short intervals, which seemed like a trance. The mucous surface of My mouth and throat had become so parchedand feverish, that I was in constant misery. I was also suffering from all the horrors of Dyspepsia, loss of appetite, Nau sea, and frequent and severe attacks of vomiting; and so prostrated was my general system, that .I was scarcely able to move about. I had availed myself of the science !kW. of distinguished medical men, both of the Allo pathic and Homoeopathic school, and exhausted their catalogue of remedies, but found only. temporary relief. In this condition, when every ray of hope seemed para lyzed,f I heard of the discovery of Professor Bolles in the •opectrielty, and the wonders he was performing in curing - di sease. all °laced Inyself under his treatment; and, to the astonishment or iirkislY friends, in two operations my Diabetes was controlled, and other diffi culties soon disappeared ; my appetite has returned, sleep undisturbed, and, in fact, I feel like one made anew. I would further state that I have seen other remark able cures performed hy Prof. Bolles, and Would advise the diseased to call at 12M Walnut street, and be restored to health. I shall be glad to give any one information calling on me. THOMAS ILARROP Rose Mill, West Philadelphia.. Philadelphia, May Ist, 1860. • Read th e ton e - w ing from a_preacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church; Ito. ,I6:13 Helmuth. street, Philadel phia: • .In attempting a definition of my dises.::: cm!,Oaly give some of the many symptoms which, taken ther; wore the most horrid ; and even medical men dtv, . not know my disease from pathological symptoms. How ever, Professor C. 11. Bolles, by whom I was cured,lo - cated my disease in the pelvic viscera, i s five mlncttea 'after I entered his office, and offered to warrant a perfect 'cure in eight applications. And I frankly admit that in eight applications of Electricity, administered by Pro fessor BOLLES, MO Walnut street, Philadelphia, I am perfectly cured ;'and to me this is most astonishing, for I had exhausted the catalogue of old-school remedies, and . grew worse all the time./ I bad long believed that in Electricity resided a potent agent for the cure of disease, if a right application could he made ; and now I can comprehend, from its •powerfal effects on me, for a speedy cure, although no shocks were given. All was pleasant, and accomplished as if by magic. I will give moat of my symptoms, for tha benefit of suffering humanity. I had dyspepsia, bad marasmus, or wasting of the tissues of the whole body; at times a difficulty of breathing, some palpitation of the heart, much bronchitis, trembling of the limbs after exercise, aversion tobusiness and company; at times gloomy, ina bility to collect my thoughts vigorously on any subject, a loss of memory, pain in various parts of the body; suf fered much • from lumbago, deranged secretions of the - kidneys and other glands of the system, constant Urag gi ng pains in the lumbar region, and severe nervous diz ziness. I believe it is my duty, as a lover of humanity, to re commend this discovery of Professor BOLLES to ithe - afflicted of all classes.. There seems to be no guesswork, no confusion, no matter of doubt in his treatment. He proceeds on fixed principles, and according to fixed laws, which seem to me infallible and harmonious. He war rants, by special contract, the most obstinate ? chronic and acute cases, and charges nothing , if he fails. I ad- Vise all of the diseased to try his treatment. EDWARD T. EVANS, Preacher In M. E. Church, 1633 HELMUTH Street, Philadelphia. ANOTHER CURE OP PARALYSIS OF THE LOWER LIMBS (Paraplegia) AND APOPLEXY COMBINED. Read the following: PHILADELPHIA, March 31, MI PROFESSOR Somas, 1220 Walnut street: The remarka ble cure which I have derived from your method of ap plying Electricity compels me to thus acknowledge the. • great obligations I am under to you for snatching me, as it were, from immediate death. About two years ago, while a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, I was visited with an - attack of paralysis of the lower extremities, which rendered me almo.t entirely unable to stand upon my limbs. I employed some of the most celebrated physi cians to be found in that section, but received no appa- . rent benefit, and after a lapse of about eighteen months was taken with a sPaSIII, which one of my physicians pronounced a fit of apoplexy.. Two weeks elapsed from that time before I became the least conscious of anything that had transpired, nor could I concentrate my mind or converse upon any• subject without becoming very_vi.. sionary and excited, until I placed myself under your valuable treatment. After my arrival in Philadelphia my atiOntion was called to your treatment by a pamphlet handed me bv my father, which contained the names of some gentlemen whom I had been formerly acquainted with,' and whose statements I could rely upon. I Immo diattly made up my mind to place myself under your treatment. I have now been the recipient of four treat ments, and I now feel perfectly satisfied that I am re stored to a sound condition and thefore feel it my duty to gratefully acknowledge the benefits which I have ree calved through your treatment. Very respectfully yours, &c., . WIIXIAM H. SHAIN, Publisher of the Notional Merchant, office /ai South SECOND Street, Philadelphia. N. B.—lt will be well for the diseased to recollect that Prof. B. has given a word of caution in his pamphlet to guard them against trusting their health in the hands of those in thin city claiming to treat diseases according to his discovery. This caution may seem severe on those using Electricity at hzaard, but it is the severity of truth, and designed for the good of humanity. See advertise nient in another column. Consultation Free.
