THE OCEAN STEAMSHIP PROJECT.—Yes
terday morning at a meeting of the members of the
Corn Exchange, held at their rooms, Second and
Gold streets, •Mr. Thos. Allman, vice = president,
being in the chair, Mr. George L. Buzby remarked
that most of those present were aware that our
merchants had subscribed about $200,000 to the
stock of the California, Philadelphia, and European
line of steamships ; that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company had subscribed for as much more upon the
condition that the remainder of the stock should be
taken by other parties. At this point, the enter
prise had come to a stand untikrecently, when that
company, with a view to its successful completion,
had made an offer to our city, through Councils,
concerning which he was about to offer some reso
lutions for their consideration.
Ile said he would not occupy the time of the
meeting in talking to such an audience of the abso
lute necessity of steamships to our port. We want
them this day, and feet that want, most severely,
As the proposition made by the Pennsylvania Rail
road. Company had already received the emphatic
approvalof one Chamber of Councils, he now asked
his hearers to endorse these resolutions, that Select
Council, before whom, this matter is now pending,
might understand how our merchants regard it. He
offered the following preamble and resolutions :
Whereas, The most crying want of the commerce
of this port is the ownership and control of lines of
steamships worked entirely in the interests of Phila•
delphia, and
Whereas, A proposition is now pending in Councils
that any earnings of the Pennsylvania Itailread
accruing to the city, over and above an annual six
per cent. dividend, be assigned to that company as
security against loss on their part by reason of their
guarantying stock of the California, Philadelphia.,
and European Steamship Company enough to build
one or more first-class steamships!:- Therefore,
lialotbeti t That the Corn Exchange Association
regards with pleasure a measure, which will prompt
ly place these indispensable agents to our commerce
upon our waters..
&seined, That we express our cordial approval - of,
it and solicit the early and favorable action of
(Aix:netts thereon, '
The preamble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
EXPERIENCE OF A MEMBER OF THE AN
DErteoN Tnoor WHILTI A PRISONER.—Amorig the
"noble band of three hundred" of the Anderson
Troop who gallantly went into the fight near Mur
freesboro was a eon of Mr. J. B. Garber, of Lan
caster county. Re was attached to Company I, and
after the battle was reported among the wounded
and missing. We have since been informed that he
was shot through the arm, and was placed in the
hospital on the field, and two days after the fight
was captured, with many others, by the rebels.
Their - experience in, " Dixie " was anything but a
pleasure trip: . They were to be sent to Vicksburg
to he exchanged, but when they were taken about
forty miles out from Mobile, a despatch ordered the
train back. -They were accordingly carried back on
the same rout eto Montgomery, to Atlanta, Dalton,
Knoxville, Jonesboro',
where the bridges were
burnt and the railroad torn up for some thirty miles
by the Union troops. Here they were forced to
walk, and to wade rivers, till they reached Bristol.
There they again took the cars to Lynchburg, and
"on to _Richmond ;" were placed in prison, and,
after suffering many hardships, were paroled - and
sent to Annapolis, Md. After some five or six weeks
at Camp Parole, Annapolis, an order came trans
ferring them to 'Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio,
where they now are, ready and anxious, as soon as
exchanged, to have another "trial at arms" with
the enemies of the Union. They were some two
weekti on the railroad and afoot journey, and about
the same time in prison at Richmond.
They confirm all the reports of suffering in the
rebel States, the high price and extreme scarcity of
provisions, and thestrongUnion sentiment every
where exhibited. The Union people say they are
three to one, but that the rebels have all the arms.
Young Garber writes that he believes some of the
prisoners would have starved had it not been for the
Union people along the route. At every stopping
place men, women, and children would crowd into
or around the cars, bringing food for;the poor, half
starved prisoners. One man, in Montgomery, Ala
bama came to a squad of the boys and began to
question them. They thought he was a rebel, per
haps a spy on their actions, and, of course, gave
him rather curt replies. An officer of the guard saw
he was talking with the prisoners, and ordered him
away under penalty of being arrested. When the
officer moved away, however, the man again made
his appearance, this time with a roasted chicken
stuffed with oysters. It is needless to add that the
poor, famished prisoners had no further doubt of
that man's loyalty. They were stripped of all their
money and valuables by the rebels, and barely were
allowed to retain the rags on their .backs. They
were taken through all the Confederate States, ex
cept Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana, and had a
long ride by railroad, but by no means a pleasant one.
GOv. CANNON,- OF DELAWARE, AT THE
COEN EXCHANGE Rooms.—Yesterday morning, his
Excellency William Cannon, the loyal Governor of
Delaware, was present at the Corn Exchange Rooms,
and was introduced to that body by Alex. G. Cattell,
Esq., who made a few complimentary remarks, and
concluded by stating that Governor Cannon, is the
Chief Magistrate of the loyal State of Delaware—a
good cannon whom the Legislature of that State
attempted to spike, but could not. Three cheers
were then given for the Governor.
Governor Cannon came forward and thanked the
assemblage for the warm greeting which he had re
ceived, and introduced to the body Samuel M. Har
rington, Jr., Esq., Adjutant General of Delaware,
who made a most felicitous address. He explained
at length the antagonism manifested towards the
General Government by the Legislature of Dela
ware, and read extracts from the proclamation of
Governor Cannon which was published a few days
ago.
1.4 He said that the Governor has determined that
the. State of Delaware shall not be the retreat of
either foreign or domestic traitors, and has issued
his proclamation that the people of that State shall
hold their allegiance to the United States, notwith
standing the acts of the Legislature of that Stale.
The people of Delaware have publicly commended
the Governor for his loyalty, and denounced the
- Legislature as disloyal and traitorous. The State of
Delaware his furnished to the General Government,
since the breaking out of the rebellion, five regi
ments of infantry, one battery, one squadron of ca
valry, and two regiments of home guards, besides
which her people have supported the families .of
the volunteers. The people of that State are-pre
pared to make any sacrifice for their country's sake,
and are making an effort to rid themselves of that in
matins that has been leading them to destruction.
He declared that it was the 'slaveholding interests
only of that State which gave them the reputation
of being disloyal. The Governor was determined
that Delaware should stand firm until the end of
this fight.' He (the Governor) is an old Democrat,
but since his friends have changed their political
complexions, he has turned upon them his back,
and determined to stand by the flag of his country.
This. sentiment was received with loud cheers,.
and then Mr. Catlett read the proclamatlOn of Gov.
Cannon, after which-the meeting adjourned.
TILE CENT PAN.? c.—Where are the nickels
that but a short time since were so plentiful as to
be a cause of complaint—a subject for sneer at the
Government? Where are the barrels of this insig
nificant coin that were the daily accumulation of
passenger•railroad=car conductors, the grand injury
of storekeepers, banks, and ladies 7- They are all
gone. They have fled away before the deluge of-paper
currency as mists before the sun. It seems but yes
terday that we heard the pathetic cry of , the city
passenger• car authoriliea that they were losing five
and six.per cent. beiause people would pay their fare
in pennies, and pennies would 7101 be taken in quan
tities for their nominal value. Gold fled first before
the paper currency, and was securely hidden from the
light of clay; then silver followed, but-yet we had
pennies in profusion; 1101 V, even these clumsy sub
stitutes have failed us, and the pennies have followed
the gold and silver. , Not longer than. December,
the 'United States 'Mint coined Jive millions four hun
dred and ilvirtmfive thousand cents, and this exceedea
but little the monthly coinage of the last half year.
Before the present system of hoarding coin was
practised, the coinage' of cent pieces was less than'
half its present amount; yet the superabundance of
this coin was so great that the Government was ac
cused of keeping it up as a'source of profit, the price
being represented at less value in reality :than a
hutulredth part of a dollar. .
The strong preference for coin instead of paper
money, is illustrated in this gradual disappearance,
and proves that cheap currency will always easily
supplant the more valuable. It is not long since
our banks refused to take silver, and depositors
were obliged to havetheir funds turned into a more
compact form, while now the silver would bring a
handsome premium of '2O to - 27 per cent. in paper
money, and already even the much-abused penny
commands a yremium. -
Certainly in currency, now, change would be ad
ceptable, small change especially. While some of
our cities are.driven to giving literally half a dollar
by tearing II dollar note in halves, it becomes
question of vital interest to inquire, Where doeinthe
specie-all'go to? Whose old stocking is crainnied
full of the gold and silver I Whose cellar barrelefiukzi
the pennies? .
CONFLAGRATION EN THE TWENTY.-FOURTIf
WaßD—Lbse s36,ooo.—About half-pait two o'clock
on Sunday morning the drying room attached to the
Jefferson mills, situate on Mill creek, near the west
ern boundary line of the city, took fire. It
was seventy feet by fifty feet, and two stories high.
The drying process was done through the medium
of steam &es. The mill, , or rather the building

ernment. He has tivo contracts to fulfil, maiiine_in
the. aggregate 900,000 yards of stuff, which would
have been finished by -the first of next October.
The fire of Sunday will interrupt the business for
several weeks. There is an excellent fire apparatus on
the premises, with which the operatives Succeeded in
checking the progress of the flames. The drying
room connected with the old mill by means • of a
covered wooden bridge. This structure facilitated
the fire, and the upper part of the old "Kershaw
Mill" was entirely destroyed. The blacksmith shop
was also destroyed. The buildings are owned by
Messrs. Blear & Antelo. No -less than 380 men,
women, boys, and girls were employed in this estab
lishment.- The work must necessarily stop until ar
rangements can be made to dry the wool. The loss
is estimated as follows: buildings, $3,000; machinery
and fixtures, $7,000; stock and materials, $25,000
making a total of $35,000, fully insured in Philadel
phia, New York, New England, and foreign compa
nies. Several tire companies reached the Beene of
conflagration. It required six horses Ao pull one of
the steamers through the muddy roads. The light
soon went down, and the mill being located in'a hol=
low, it was not thought necessary to sound an alarm
throughout the city, iheperson at the western po
lice station supposing the fire to be small. Indeed,
If the whole fire department had been called out, the
fire could not have been better managed than it
was.
A CHANGE IN RATE.OF FREIGHT ASKED
1 , 011.—A petition of which the following ie a copy,
numerously signed by the merchants and others
doing, business over the Pennsylvania Railroad, has
been extensively circulated.:
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
Whereas, The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
under the act of 1861 repealing the tonnage tax
and limiting the charge for transportation on fourth;
class local freight between Pittsburg and Phila-
delphia to 36 cents per 100 pounda, ,, has construed
the act to mean only the produce of the soil of Penn
sylvania, and flour manufactured in Pittsburg from
grain produced out of the State, thus excluding flour
and also grain produced out of the State, when in
tended for shipment eastward, from participating in
the provisions of said act, subjecting it to rates vary
ing from 60 to 65 cents per 100 pounds, and thereby.
discriminating against the manufacturer and mer
chant of the eastern portion of the State :`And, ;
Whereas, At times the said company are in' the
habit of carrying through freight over their road,
which emanates from points west of Pittsburg, and
is destined for points east of Philadelphia, at lower
rates than when it isqlestined for Philadelphia, and
also in the habit of carrying through freight coming
from points west of Pittsburg, and destined for Phi-'
ladelphia at less rates in proportion than their pub
lished local rates between Pittsburg and Philadel
phia, thus discriminating against both the city of
Philadelphia and the entire farming interest on the
line of the said,, road : therefore we, the citi
zens, petition your honorable bodies to pass an
act limiting the rates of freight on their road be
tween Philadelphia and Pittsburg to the lowest
rates of pro-rates on through freight, without pre
ference, to cities or citizens of any State, and
that the way freight on the line of said road shall
never exceed a fair proportion of their through
freight, making . easonable allowance for extra
depot expenses.
'HEATY ROBBERY 01 SILKS, ETC.—SOHO
time between Saturday , night and yesterday morn
ing the dry-goods store of Messrs. Thomas W. Evans
fr. Co., on Chestnut street, between Eighth and'
Ninth, was robbed of goods valued at $3,000. The
thieves first entered Earle's store through the grating
on Sansom street,"and made their way 'to the roof..
They then,went into Evans' store through the trap
debt. The goods stolen consisted of some valuable
shawls and nine pieces of silk, and were taken front
the upper part of the store...) The watchman,' , who
sleeps upon the first floor, kneW, nothing about ' the ,
robbery. and the goodemust have been carried away
very ..quietly, as the policemen upon the beat were
also ignorant of the affair.
"— litlltAED COLLEGE PUPILS —lt * has been
found, from careful investigation [by the officials of
the Girard College, that a number of pupils admit
ted yearly, RH they advance in age, show a lack of
that mental ability necessary for acquiring instruc
tion in the highest branches of the college course.
To detain them Ina class, the average acquirements
of which they cannot attain or hold, is impeding the
progress of the capable, without.improving the inca.
pable. The incompetent clog the competent, and on.
cupy places for which there are creditable competi
tore. The college_ has exhausted its power of im
proving the mind by efforts at instruction in subjects
or sciences which they are unable further to receive.
Some of these scholars are too young to apprentice
to trades. For others it is not easy to find places
where they can be taught mechanical or other busi
nese.
To remedy this evil, it is proposed by the board of
managers that these pupils be kept up to the average
they• acquire in education, and place them under.
suitable instructors to obtain a familiarity with
handicraft manipulations. The knowledge of the
use of tools is thus secured, which gives them great
advantages when they begin their apprentice life.
A boy with such knowledge is more readily appren
ticed than one educated in " words and signs" and
not " facts and things." The demand for planes is
greater than the demand for apprentices.
To retain in the college, boys who are eady to be
taught mechanical or other business,'-,who have
finished the college course, whose age is quite or
nearly up to the maximum time mentioned in the
will of Mr. Girard—scholars out of school, and, it
may be, idle, is thought to be of very doubtful pro
priety. They who have received all the benefits of
the institution thus occupy the places of candidates
who cannot be admitted. For these reasons it was
deemed advisable to give both these classes of in
mates an opportunity to learn useful knowledge in
handicraft labor. So soon as the system can -be
fairly put into operation, and its effeota ascertained,
a report oh the subject will be made to Councils.

SisfALL-PDX.—The prevalence of small
pox in the late district of Richmond is beComing a
matter of serious moment, and the Board of Health,
we understand, have taken measures to, prevent, if
possible, its further spread. Last week eleven per
sons died of the disease. During the week previous
fifteen died from the same cause. The Board, it
will be remembered, requested that Councils would
grant them the temporary use of Richmond Hall for
the treatment of small-pox cases. The request was
not granted, on the ground that the conversion of
the hall to such uses would greatly deteriorate the
value of adjoining , property. It is to be hoped that
the question will not arise whether the lives of the
sufferers or the properties of the citizens are the
most to be regarded. Under the excellent precau
tions already used,there is no doubt that the disease
will soon be entirely eradicated.
BURIAL OF A CATHOLIC CLERGYMAN.--
The remains of Rev. Christopher G-randeler, a Ca
tholic clergyman, who died at the Franciscan Con
vent, corner of Fourth street and Girard avenue, on
Saturday evening, after an illness of two months,
were taken to St. Peter's Church for interment yes
terday morning, at 0 o'clock. Solemn requiem mass
was celebrated by Rev. P. M. Carbon, and a funeral
discourse delivered by Rev. Wm. Wayrich. The de
ceased was nearly seventy•five years of age, and
was upivards of forty years in the ministry, some
twenty years of which were in this country. He
was for twelve years engaged in a mission in Ohio,
and was subsequently stationed at Manayunk,
Pennsylvania, and Wilmington, Delaware, from
whence he was temporarily transferred to the place
where he died.
ACCIDENT ON TEE BALTIMORE RAILROAD.
—On Saturday afternoon; as the passenger train on
the Philadelphia,Wilmington, and Baltimore Rail
road was about ve miles from Baltimore, the truck
of one of the passenger cars ecame loose, and ran
off from under the cars ;th front part of the car
fell to the track, and was dragged along a considera
ble distance. The passengers were all huddled to
gether, but no one was injured except Mr. John W.
Welch, of New Jersey, whose right leg was badly,
broken. In a short time the accident to the car
was repaired. Mr. Welch was accompanied by hie
wife, and was on his, way to Washington, as com
missioner from the State of New Jersey to look
after the sick and wounded soldiers in the hospitals
at Washington from his State. JIM injuries are not
considered serious. .
•
THE YACHT SCIID.—A. gentleman re
cently from Nassau, N. P., informed us yesterday,
that,the yacht Scud was in the neutral waters of
that nest of neutral pirates, a short time since.
Whether she was sold to new parties, or whether
she is designed to run the blockade, are a couple of
points of interest that the people of this city, par
ticularly, would like to know. The Scud is a fast
sailer, and can skip along the shores, or through
bayous, like a thing of lite. What has become of
other popular yachts whose white sails used to stud
the bosom of the Delaware' Spring has come upon
us in all its beauty, and the close of the month of
March is at hand, and yet not a word has been said
about the spring races on the Delaware.
YEESENTATION.—The menus of Lieu
tenant Colonel L. H. Pelouze, United States regu
lar army, and at present on the staff of General Dix,
stationed-at. Fortress Monroe, assembled last eve
ning at the St. Louis Hotel, and presented him- one
of the most magnificent swords that were ever manu
factured in this city. The whole proceedings con
spired to make a very agreeable evening's entertain
ment.
ORDER REVOICED.—A despatch has been
received from Washington revoking , the order to
close the United States Army General Hospital at
Forty-fifth and Vine streets ! Huddington. The in
stitution will therefore ; remain open for the recep
timi of patients, under the charge of. Surgeon R. J.
Levis.
DEATH OF A MERCHANT.—AIgernon E.

[Before Mr. AldermanDougherty.]
Interesting to Cabmen.
A case, of some interest to cabmen and hotel
keepers came up before Mr. Alderman Dougherty,
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Dennis Toner, William
Shay, and others, brought suit in the name of the
city of Philadelphia' against Mr. E. K. Concklin, to
test the right of Mr. C. to claim the exclusive use of
Ninth street,.in front-of the Continental Hotel, as a
stand for his carriages., The main points are two in
number, and may be 'stated, as •follows : Mr. Wild
man, one of the proprietors of the Continental, testi
fied that he has great use for carriages for the benefit
of his boarders and lodgers ' and that orders are sent
to Mr. Concklin for such a number of carriages as
may, from to time, be wanted. These carriages re
main standing on Ninth street, along the western
front of the hotel, until the boarders or lodgers de
sire to use them, as the means of reaching a steam
boat landing or railroad depot. The price of fare for
riding is charged in the , bills of the boarders by
the proprietors of the hotel, and thus the party
using the carriage has nothing to pay the drivers for
the use of the vehicle.
This is the main point number one. The point
raised by the prosecutors is, that carriages sent to
the hotel front as above stated have been used 'for
transient business by the drivers, and in consequence
of this arrangement, other cabmen not in the interest
of Mr. Concklin are precluded the chance of obtain
ing a' little transient ausfom. The prosecutors con
tend that the cabs being sent to the hotel for a cer
tain purpose, should be confined to that business;
to depart from it turns that part of Ninth street oc
cupied by Mr. Concklin's carriages into a public
stand. This being the case, the prosecutors desired
the question settled, whether they had not a right
equal with Mr. Concklin to use the said stand, by
introducing their own carriages.
The Alderman reserved his decision until he could
have an opportunity to examine'into the law bear.
ing upon the points at issue.

Important Arrest.
Deputy United States Marshal John Jenkins and
Chief Franklin, of the detective force,' have again
been among the counterfeiters. Two persons, giving
the names of Richard Walker and Aaron Bowd,
leged to be the keepers of the drinking saloon in the
basement of the Revere House (old Eagle Hotel), on
Third street, below Vine street, were taken into cus•
tody, yesterday afternoon, on the charge ot being
engaged in the passing of counterfeit notes. The
parties were arraigned, last evening, before Mr. Al
derman Beale; when the following proceedings took
place -
Chief Franklin testified that he and Mr. Jenkins,
deputy United States marshal, with Detective
Somers and Sergeant Thackara, visited the drink
ing saloon, made the two arrests, and recovered a
number of , notes ; some were found on Bowd, six
in number, and about twenty-five or thirty on the
floor where Walker had thrown them ; they are
$2 notes, Bank of Catasauqua, Lehigh county, Pa. ;
these notes are entirely new, none of them having
been "pushed," (circulated) ; early this afternoon
telegraphed to all the station-houses to put store
keepers on their guard, as the notes were to be
circulated this evening.
Sergeant Thackara testified as to ,the arrest of
Walker sitting near the screen ; these notes were
picked up under the screen, where they had just
been thrown; (bunch of notes shown ;) there were
three or four other- persons sitting around the
stove.
Walker said that he did not know what he was
arrested lor—he had done nothing; the officers had
searched him, but found nothing.
Bowd had not a word to say.
Mr. Walker commenced getting rather fndignant,
and said that he had done nothing.
Chief Franklin produced an official document, be
ing a warrant of arrest, or requisition paper from
the Governor of the State, of Illinois, properly en
dorsed by Governor Clurtin. It seems that Walker
was arrested a year since on Girard avenue for be
ing in the counterfeit-note business. During the
delay in obtaining the requisition papers from Illi
nois, Walker being wanted in that State, he entered
bail, which was forfeited.
What are you going to do with the requisition
paper?"' asked the defendant.
" That is for future consideration," briefly replied
the Chief.
" Wells sir," said Walker,
" I have been in busi
ness a year in this city since that was issued."
The alderman now closed the scene by requiring
the defendants to enter bail in the sum of $4,000
each to appear at court. They were committed.
Scene at the Central Station.
Last evening an ill•looliing man, half Indian and
half drunk, was arraigned at the Central Station
alongside of a colored man, a venerable-looking
man, who had reached the age of sixty-six years.
He had with • him a string of sun fish. Both these
individuals were arrested at Second and Chestnut
streets for a breach of the peace. Theyhad attracted
considerable attentionin that neighborhood.
The old colored man, in response to the alderman,
"Alderman, I is an old colored preacher, sah,
everybody knows me." .
" What was this man doing to youl" asked the
Magistrate.
4. Yes, eah," replied the sable representative of
the human' race, n this man, sah, axed me. for a fip
he said I own it to him, but it taint no Bich thing ; I
told him to gway, but - instead of dat air sah, he puts
his fist right along side my jaw -bone sah; dat am a
fac dare no= sputing. Well, sah, you see, as lis a
preacher, sah, I retreated and did pull out a knife to
defend myself wid ; I keepe on retreating and dodged
round de car ,and tole the man to gway, when, sah,
jus at dia tickler moment, sah, in the period of time,
the police, sah—that gemman thar—tuck us both. I
don't own no lip to the individual. I'se a respecta
ble colored preadaet, Bah, and depends on my condi
tion in life on my respectable behavior, sah. Dar's
no use talkin, I don't owe him puffin, but I told him
to come to-morrow an I'd gib him a tip, if he wanted
one."
"What have you to say V , said the alderman to
the other individual. The prisoner attempted to
palliate the affair ; he said the old colored man had
owed him twenty-five cents for two years, and when
asked for it this afternoon pulled out a knife to stick
him. The old colored preacher was discharged. The
other fellow was pretty severely reprimanded, and,
on promising to let the old preacher alone, and mo
lest himMo more, was set at liberty.
