Zion Churoh-Ninth Day’s Prooredings.—Con ference prayer-meeting was held, and the journal of Monday’s session was read and approved. The following report was received and adopted : The Committee on Education respectfully represent that they arc more than ever convinced of the indespensa- * ble necessity of a liberal education in order to qualfy mankind for the great duties and responsi bilities of life. At no period in the history of the world’s progress has education received a higher tribute or leaped a richer reward than she is now receiving ; nor has she ever had h more extended held of operation on which to exert her elevating influence and demonstrate her superior excellency. .Everywhere the harvest is abundant; The whitened fields are everywhere inviting the hand of skill and ability, and qualified industry is being joyfully remunerated, as well by the imperishable monu ments reared by its activity as by , the sweet consciousness of having contributed something toward bringing intellectual order and beauty out of the chaotic mass of ignorance and mental deformity which has been the scene of its efforts. Such being the utilitarian character, and such the practical re sults of a liberal education, we cannot too deeply feel and appreciate'its importanceln the most hum ble as well as in the most elevated walks of life. We take great pleasure in urging its acquisition generally; but more particularly would we urge it upon the Church. First, upon the ministry, as being the acknowledged leaders and teachers of the people. Ignoranoe in the ministry is not only inexcusable, but exceedingly dangerous with regard to most vital interests, and ought speedily to be cured, either by Btudy and application, on their part, or by revocation of their ministerial functions by the • Church. Secondly, upon the laity, as' parents and guardians, having the care of tender youtliß, whose future usefulness to the Church and the worlddarge ly depends upon their ability to appreciate the value of an education, and, on that account, to secure it to their children. And, lastly, upon the young of the flock, who are the hope of the Church, of society, and of the world, intellectually, morally, socially, and reli giously. The shameful (if not criminal) remissness on the part of the Church, and especially of the ministers of the Church, in attending at least to the moral training of the children God has placed Within their reach, constitutes one of those anoma lies in the Church for which it is difficult to account, and is perfectly irreconcilable with that deep inte rest for the future increase, advancement, and glory of the Church, which is supposed to be shared in by all Christians, and more especially by the ministers of Christ. Such a course, in our opinion, merits the severest animadversion. Hoping that a more de sirable condition of affairs may soon be developed in an educational direction, this report is respectfully submitted. Committee—S. T. .Tones, chairman, W. G. Strong, J. A. Williams, Elders J. D. Brooks, S. T. Gray, and C. J. Carter. Rev. S. T. Jones and Rev. J. W. Laymen, were appointed to draft a con stitution for the Missionary Society. They, made their report, and it was adopted. The officers were elected. Rev. A. W. Wayman, of the A. M. E. Church, was introduced to the Conference, and, by invitation, took a seat within the bar. Several matters of no special interest to the public were acted upon. Adjourned. Benediction by Elder A. W. Wayman. Truth Day’s Proceedings.— Several import ant matters were acted upon and disposed of in or der. The following, offered by Elder S. T. Jones and seconded by Dr. S. T. Gray, obtained an unani mous vote: Wfterais, the union of . a people constitutes an important element of their strength and is essential to the accomplishment of any great and good pur pose ; and whereas the want of that union of heart, interest, and effort, so formidable in a good cause, has ever been (as it continues to be); the great nuetralizer of all efforts looking to the general good of our people; and whereas the Church is mainly responsible for the continuation of this retarding influence: Therefore, Resolved, That, regarding the present as the most auspicious and hopeful hour in the history of our despised and oppressed race, and the long-prayed for time when the Almighty is opening the way to our elevation and greatness, we deeply regret the seem ing tenacity with which the colored people hold on to their sectarian feelings -.and principles, and the manifest tardiness with which .they entertain propo sitions to unite more effectually our church organi zations. • Resolved , That as the propagators of that Gospel everywhere insisted on as being thejaure means by which we are to he made one in Christ, and as the leaders of a people who are weak, because divided, we hereby reaffirm our un yielding devotion to the doctrine, principles, and the practicability of church union, and our readiness to entertain, in the most liberal manner, any pro position for that object. Votes of thanks were tendered -to the officers, members, and friends of Wesley Church for their kind entertainment of the members of Conference, and to the proprietors of the Philadelphia daily Press , the Inquirer, and Christian Recorder, as also ihe Anglo-African, of New York, for gratuitously publishing an epitome of the pro ceedings of the Conference, and to the presiding officer (Supt, Clinton) for the able and dignified manner with -which he has conducted the affairs of the Conference. , - Appointment of Preachers —Wesley Church, Lom bard street, Philadelphia, to be supplied; Harris burg, Pa., 0.

Matzdorfl; of the 76th Regi ment, P. Y. (formerly Colonel fiohlen’s), nowasup- SOBea prisoner of war at Richmond, was born in ierlin, Prussia, in the year 1830. A t the age of 18 lie received a commission as lieutenant, and subse quently a commission as captain in the Prussian service, which position he honorably held up to within a few years prior to the breaking out of our present troubles, when he came to this country. 'Limit. Col, Matzdorff deserves much credit for his devotion to our cause and institutions. At the time of the breaking out of the rebellion, he offered his services to the country, and was enlisted as captain in Colonel Eallier’s Regiment, three-months’ ser vice. On his return with the regiment to this city, he was immediately appointed major of Colonel Bohlen’s (then 10th) Regiment, which position he held up to the latter gentleman’s appointment aB brigadier general, when he received his commission as lieutenant colonel. At the late battle of Fredericksburg] Lieutenant Colonel Matzdorff was sent out on picquet duty with a detachment of picked men from his regiment, and since then nothing has been heard from either him self or command. There is no doubt but that all were taken prisoners, but the uncertainty of his fate is the cause of much anxiety to his many friends. That he is safe and will soon be in the field of his former usefulness, is the sincere wish of all. - The Turf.— Pnlliant meetings are pre dicted by the friends of the turr to take place in this city during the present season. Suffolk Park course will soon be put in good order, and, before the time for the race meeting there, the track will be second to none in the country. At the present time there are no running horses in training on it, save those of Dr. Weldon. Of these, the chief is the renowned colt “Blackbird,” who stands matched with “ Idle wild” in two races for $lO,OOO each. Thefirstof these, three-mile heats, will be on the Becond day of the Philadelphia meeting, and, if it is run, it will make the other play or pay. The second is four-mile heatß, to come of}' in New York., It will be remem bered that “Blackbird” ran uncommonly well in Kentucky as a three-year old, winning, as his last exploit there, a great race at two-mile heats when he was out of fix. He was beaten in the first heat, but running on with uncommon pluck and bottom, he won the second, distancing four or five of those in the race, and then the third. Since his arrival at the East he ran three-mile heats with “Idlewild,” in this city, and was beaten. Nevertheless, his own ers were so well satisfied with his speed that they made the pending matches. The Funeral of Col. Geo. C. Spear. —The remains of this gallant officer, which have been lying in state in Independence Hall, were con veyed to their last resting place, yesterday, from his late residence, at No. 1818 Hamilton street. The funeral was largely attended by the officers of the 3d Brigade, P. M.; also a number of the officers of the 61st Regiment P. V., of which the deceased was co lonel. The members of the Continental Guard, the old organization to which Col. Spear was attached, were also present, having acted as a guard of honor while the body was in Independence Hall. The fol lowing officers acted as pail-bearers: Major. General Robert Patterson. Brigadier General H. Tyndall.' Brigadier General Wm. 81. Rielly. Brigadier General Jno. D. Miles. Brigadier General A. J. Pleasonton. Colonel Charles P. Dare. t Colonel George P, McLean. Lieut. Col. Smith, of the eiut Regiment. The interment took place at Ronaldson’sCeme tery, with the usual military ceremonies. Cooper- Siiop Burial-Ground.—Some time since a committee of the members of the Cooper-Shop Refreshment Saloon were appointed for the purpose of procuring a lot for the permanent or temporary reception of the remains of such soldiers as' may die, or those who have died, in the Cooper-Shop Hospital. We learn that the labors of the committee have been crowned,with success. The board of managers of the Mount JVloriah Ceme tery have generously tendered to the use of the' committee a lot cot, taining eight hundred square feet, eligibly located in their cemetery, in the Twen ty-fourth ward, it iB the intention oftheoom xnittee to have this lot enclosed in a neat and sub stantial and subscriptions for this purpose are solicited. In order to prevent imposition, each Serßon authorized to receive subscriptions will wear le badge oi the Cooper-Shop Saloon, and will fur nish to each subscriber a handsomely-colored certifi cate, acknowledging the receipt of the sum of monev given. _____ " The New Library Company.—The new Library Company met at Girard Hall on Monday evening, and organized by the election of the fol lowing officers to serve for the ensuing year: Pre- Bident—Dell Noblifc; Vice President—Samuel H.

School Matters.— A school fSr colored children was lately organized 111 the lower nmt nf the city, on the same basis as that of th e P publio sehoola generally. At a recent meeting of the Schhnl Controllers the principal requested tfiat the a choo be placed under the management of the directors of the Fourth section, In which it is located. The di rectors refused to accept it, and at the last meeting of the Controllers the Seventh section was autho rized to receive the school under its charge. On Tuesday, at the meeting of the Board of Con trollers, Messrs Daniel W. Howard and Jacob Ring were made “adjunct” professors in the Central High school, at a salary of $1,200 each. The ssla ™’” \h e following professors were advanced to H - Haverstiolc, F. A. Bregy, J. A. Angel el o '6llll Bl Beale > Edw. W. Vogaea, The expenses of the school department during the past two weeks were $10,663.66. ■ A Colored Lecturer.— A lecture was delivered at Wesley M. E. Church, in Bombard street, below bixth, on Tuesday evening, by Rev. J. W. Lognens, of hyracuse, N. Y. His subject was “ The war, and the connection of the oolored people with it.” The lecturer, who is a mulatto, with con siderable oratorical power, urged that slavery was the cause of the war; that the aid of the colored man was necessary to bring the war to a close; and that in God’s providence slavery would receive its death-blow at the hands of those who had made the war for the extension and perpetuity of the insti- Kilometer* Tiie West Philadelphia Army Hospi tal.—The United States Army General Hospital, at West Philadelphia, constitutes within itself a small town, the ground covered by the buildings being thirteen acres. The corridors running north ami south are each 950 feet long and _l4 wide. From! these, and perpendicular to their line of direction, the wardß run off. c onnecting the corridors in the centre is a two-story building, like all the rest, of wood plastered on the outside. These wards are so admirably ventilated that no instance has ever oc curred here of those diseases whose spread is to be attributed to imperfect ceration. The largest of these wards will admit 114 patients, and the smallest 78. Thus, with two rows of beds to each ward, the hospital will admit 2,660 patients, and, in case of need, by placing a third row of beds, for which there is ample room, the capacity of the hospital will be increased to 3,124 patients. The administration building is two stories high, and it embraces on the first floor the general office, in which the various business of the hospital is transacted under the immediate supervioa of the Executive Officer, and that of the assistant texecu tive officers; the surgery, in which all prescriptions are put up, and many of the medicines compounded by a corps of druggists ; the office of the Discharge Board, in which it iB determined whether soldiers are fit subjects to be discharged from the public ser vice; the donation room, into which all articles, that find their way to the hospital, through the be nevolence of the community, are taken, in order that proper acknowledgment may be made in be half of those for whose benefit they are in tended; and the officers’ meBB room, to which willing pilgrimages are made three times a day by the resi dent part of the medical staff. The second floor is used as quarters for officers, with the exception of one room, which is set apart for the use of the visit ing surgeons. In the space between the corridors, and immediately in front; of the administration building, are the office and quarters of the surgeon in charge'. In the same space, a little farther on, is the boiler and engine-house/which contains three large boilers, and these furnish hot water aud steam to the large boilers, and these furnish hot water and steam to the kitchens;*.and laundries, and the bath rooms attached to the wards. Still farther on, in the Bame space, arejtwo rows of buildings one story high, which are used as officers’ quarters, and be* tween them is the parade, upon which Btands the hospital flag-staff. In the space between the corri dors, back of the administration: building, are two large water tanks, holding some forty , thou sand gallons, and the necessary means of forcing it to any part of the hospital in case of fire. At every turn, in looking over thU mammoth hospital, we meet with new points of in terest. Here we find a large knapsack house con taining three thousand pigeon holes, into whioh all knapsacks are put at once upon the arrival of pa tients, after having been carefully labelled. Near by stands the dead-house and post-mortem rooms. In another place we find the guard barracks, which contain bunks for 132 men, nicely arranged, tier above tier on either side. The guard house is an other affkir entirely, and it is only interesting by reason of the important function which it performs in the government of the hospital. It i 3, as might be supposed, destitute of all attractions and luxu ries, and is the most inhospitable place about the hospital. It is here that the soldier, who so far forgets himself and his country as to disregard or ders, get drunk, or commit any crime, finds his legiti mate locus in quo. In a religious point of view, the hospital is well provided, inasmuch as there are three chaplains on duty here, and a commodibus chapel. Meeting of the Friends of Prince ton meeting of the graduates and friends of this institution was held on Tuesday even ing, in the lecture room of the Central Presbyterian Church. At the hour appointed, the Rev. Dr. Slcenk nominated the following gentlemen as offi cers of the meeting : President, Hon. Jas. Pollock; vice presidents, Hon. Geo. M. Dallas, Hon. Oswald Thompson, Hon. Alexander King, Mr. Jas. Dundas, Hon. Joseph R. Ingersoll, Hon. George M. Stroud; secretaries, E. Spencer Miller, Rev. Charles W. Shields, D. D. On taking the chair, ex*Governor Pollock called on the Rev. Henry Steel Clark to open the meeting with prayer, after which the chair man stated briefly the object of the meeting to be for the purpose of raising funds for the endowment of Princeton College. Addresses were then made by the Rev. Dr. Attwater and the Rev. Dr. McEl vane, relative to the future- prospects and present condition of the institution. At the close of the re marks of these gentlemen a series of resolutions were ofltered by the Rev. Dr. Skenk, providing, among other things, for the appointment of a com mittee of twenty-four to carry out the objects of the meeting. An amendment was offered to this, that the committee forma sub*committee of six/for the purpose of co-operating with them in the plans laid down for their guidance; The committee, as ap pointed, resolved to meet at the rooms of the Board of Education, on Friday afternoon, to mature their plans. After the transaction of some further business, of no public interest, the meeting ad journed; Passed Traoucn. —The refreshment sa loodb, at the foot of Washington street, are again the scenes of an activity and bustle which we all re member characterized them at. the breaking out of the war. For some time past regiments have been handsomely feted here, as they were on their way homeward, their term of military service having ex pired. The 124th and 125th Pennsylvania Regiments passed through, and the 23d New xork, and 2d New York, are soon expected. The 20th and 16th New York passed through yes terday morning at 7 o’clock. The 14th and 18th New York are expected this morning. A New England cavalry troop of 400 horses were expected to arrive, on their way to the seat of war, last night. The Dog Catchers.—On and after to morrow, Captain James Francis, Chief of the Hog Detectives, will seize upon all stray canines, hogs, and goats, found running atlarge. The law requires that dogs muat make their appearance on the streets with muzzled noses, while goats and hogs, whether muzzled or not, will be seized upon, and dealt with according to law. The” Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company.—The tellers appointed to receive the vote of the stockholders upon the resolutions of the scrip committee of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company; reported that 15,665 voteß were given in favor of the resolutions, (already published in the ■Press,) and 12,501 votes against them, the majority in favor of the resolutions being 3,164.

Three cases of some interest were adjudicated before Alderman Ogle, yesterday, that % may serve to remind coasting captains of an. act of Assembly relative to the Board of Port Wardens., The 29th section of the act re quires that the captains of vessels over seventy-five tons shall be compelled to take a pilot either coming to or . leaving the port of Philadelphia. In case of arrival the captains must report within thirty-six hours to the Board of Wardens the draught of the vessels. The pe .naliy for violating thislawused to be sixtv|dollars,but a more-recent act fixes it at ten dollars. For a long time past the law seems to have been considered a dead letter, or, in other words, it seemed to have been violated al most with impunity. .Mr.' Charles S. Wayne, the presi dent of the Wardens, had five capiases issued against as many captains, and three of the parties were arraigned before the magistrate yesterday. . John McDevitt, the captain of the schooner William John, was the first one heard; He pleaded ignorance of the law. This the Alderman said was no excuse. The captain had made five trips from Philadelphia to Alex andria, and Acquia creek. Be had never taken a pilot either way, and for this neglect was mulct into the sum o! $lOO, being SLO for each case. He also paid the war dens fee of $5. A man named French, the captain of the schooner J. Anderson, was fined $lO and costs. ■n A 7 tJ £P named Barge, vessel unknown, was also lined s,j and costs. CBofore Mr. Alderman Beitler.) Forget!

The cer tificate was dated May 3, 1862, and purported to have been signed R. S. Garrison, clerk. The seal of the court was not attached, but there was a mark or impression, * which, at a short distance, might readily pass for a pro per stamp. Tho defendant, when asked what explana tion lie had to make, exhibited a receipt for $3O, which be paid to another man to go and pay the license. The present .certificate is the one that Mr. Philips received from the man, in return for the money thus given The licence for a bouse or the kind kept by defendant amounted to $5O, and not $3O. The accused was required to enter bail in the sum of $3OO to answer at court. Alleged Extensive Robbery. ' A man named John P.

WONDERFUL SCIENTIFIC DISCO ** VERY OF PROF. C. H. BOLLES, 1330 WAL NUT Street, Philadelphia. BEAD THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY: The difference between/acf and fiction, of permanently cnriiig thB sick and suffering: of their diseases or adver tising to cure, and showing but little or no evidence of cures, can be well appreciated by the anxious inquirers after health, upon attentively reading the following synopsis of certificates from some of the most reliable gentlemen in Philadelphia, who were permanently cared by Prof. Bolles, 1220 WALNUT Street, and after they had been given np as incurable by the most emi nent medical men of this city: ANOTHER REMARKABLE CURE. “ ’ Philadelphia, March 31st, 1563. For the past three or four years my health has been gradually running down, aad I for some time could not understand the cause of it. At first I was not much alarmed, but, as time wore on, my sutTerings kept getting worse.- I began to lose flesh, my natural color left me, and my appetite became very irregular. lap plied to several physicians, but they did not seem to understand my disease, for I kept growing worse. I was troubled with palpitation of the heart, difficulty of breathing, oftentimes trembling of the limbs, soreness in my throat, loss of memory, and great, a version to business and to society. At times I was very gloomy, and what caused me to feel worse was my inability to collect my thoughts vigorously on any subject; suffered much from swimming m the head, and much from fears of getting insane, for my physicians had told me that I had symptoms of fits; but, after persevering for a long time in the old school remedies, and in the homoeopathic also, I WBs informed my case was beyond cure. Seeing the advertisement of Prois. Bo Lies & Galloway in The Press and Bulletin, I called on them at 1220 Wal nut street, and, after conversing with them a few.mi nutes,. they told me that they could cure me, and that without throwing poisonous drugs into my system. This to me was rather astonishing; still'--I believed it, for I had known some persons they bad cured, who had been, worse than even I was. I commenced their treatment, which is perfectly pleasant, and I am happy to say that, in nine treatments of about ten minutes each, I was per fectly cured. This is.astonishing to me, for I had given up all hopes of being cured and of having my mind re stored. In answer to my convictions of duty to my suf fering fellow-men, I have made this statement of facts in relation to my own wonderful cure; and I know it is permanent, for sufficient time has elapsed for a return; therefore I feel certain. I shall take pleasure in being referred to by any person or persons who may be suffer ing as I was. CHARLES E. BUCKINGHAM, No. 13S1 Filbert street. Philadelphia. TRUTH IS MIGHTY AND WILL PREVAIL. Prof. Bolles —Bear Sir: As yon have frequently re quested me 10 give you my opinion of the therapeutic effects of Electricity, when applied according to your dis covery of its physiological relations to the human sys tem, in producing and curing disease; and this being the first favorable opportunity. I will giye you a brief statement of my success since I closed my instructions with you, and also my faith in it as a remedial agent, for the cure of all curable diseases. At every step as V have proceeded in the practice, my astonishment has been increased when witnessing its power in controlling and curing all formß of disease. I can hardlysayto what class of diseases Electricity is best adapted-but think it adapted to all—but its power over Paralysis, Consumption, Rheumatism, Acute or Chronic Neuralgia, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, Amaurosis, Erysipelas, St. Vitus’ Dance, all Female Diseases, aiid all derange’ ments of the nervous system. The above diseases having been treated by me since I took instruction from you, as also many others; therefore I speak positively of its power to control without any medicine being given ac cording to Allopathy or Homeopathy—cures ten to one of all that other systems claim to cure. - - .

Regimental Commanders shall at once make out, from information received from their Medical and Company Officers, and from their own knowledge, rolls (according to the Form furnished) of the names of all the officers and enlisted men under their commands who fulfill the following conditions, viz: 1. That they are unfit for active field service on ac count of wounds or disease contracted in the line of duty; this fact being certified by a Medical Officer in the ser vice, after personal examination. 2. That they are fit for garrison duty; this fact being likewise certified by the Medical Officer, as above, after : personal examination. 3. Tliat they ate, in the opinion of their Commanding Officers, meritorious and deserving. These rolls shall be certified by the Examining Sur geon and Regimental Commander, and transmitted, through the regular channels of military correspond ence. to the Provost Marshal General of the united Commander shall enter in the column , of remarks,. opposite each officer’s name, on the roll, a statement as to the general character of the officer for in telligence, industry, sobriety, and attention to duty; and all intermediate Commanders shall endorse thereon such facts as they may possess in the case, or it they have none, they shall state how far they ait willing to endorse the opinion of the officer or officers making the : recommendation.

If any officer or enlisted man now in the service, but absent and beyond the reach of a Medical Officer in charge of a hospital or Convalescent Camp, desires to enter this Corps, he will take the course indi cated, below for those who have been honorably dis charged the service. Third. By accepting those officers and enlisted men who,have been honorably discharged on account of wounds or disease contracted in the line of duty, and who desire to re-enter, the service.
