-TILE PHILADELPHIA • NAVY ; YARD.—
.
Never have affairs assumed so interesting an as
pect within the naval station of our city. In the
different ship-yards, and along the wharves, all
3a life and ,animation. The, month' of May Seldom
fails to produce activity in all. branches of busi
ness, but with our'naval and ship-building interests
the impetus is unbounded. To one unaccustomed to
visit the navy , yard a 'variety of• strange scenes
would present themselves. Upon entering the gate
at Front street, you will frequently be compelled
wait for sometime. to .allow the passage of heavy
pieced of lumber, or, not unfrequently, the entrance
of large Dahlgren and Parrott guns of eight, ten,
and fifteen•inch bore. At times the passage of heavy
Shot and shell detains you. Upon., the right•hand
side of the avenue is the building in which - are
'contained the offices of the commodore, commander
of the yard, lieutenant, paymaster, naval constructor,
draughtsman, the various clerks, and the chapel.
• On- the other side ,of the avenue are situated the
quarters of the marine guard, in front of which 'a
Sentinel is constantly patrolling, as is alio the case.
at the gate:.Both of these buildings are constructed
of brick, the first being three, and the latter two,
stories in height Down the avenue, and, on the
left, adjoining the marine quarters, are situate
.the store-houses, three stories high. Here a large
amount of necessary , articles:are stored. Connect
ing with the store-houses is the ordnance store,
in which "are contained the shrapnel and grape
shot, and other articles too numerous to mention.
Adjoining this building is the large one-story apart
ment used for storing chains, logs, etc. This build
ing is large. On the opposite side of the way is, the
sail loft, in,whioh is deposited an immense quanity
of this useful material. On the same side, as' we
deacenNic noticed the joiners' shop, a two-story
brick building of , no mean pretension&
Nearly opposite is the plumber shop, of about the
same dimensions, and a little to the right is the
watelphouse. As we descend still farther, we
notice the gun-carriage shop, where the largest of.
these articles used in the navy are turned out in
a finished condition. Numbers of them are con
stantly sent to Port Royal for the ships of the
squadrons. Again, on the opposite side, we notice
an extensive frame building, erected last fa . ll for the
storage of lumber. , -
By this time we have reached the lage ship -house
of the yard, and we enter. It is constructed entirely
of frame work, but covered with tin. On the stooks
is • the gunboat Kansas, a description or which is
,given below. '
Passing through leisurely, we reach the, main pier
of the yard, at which is moored the gunboat Shenan
doah, and to the outside the steamer Princess Royal
(lately a prize), both nearly, ready for sea. At the
upper wharf of the yard the city iee-boat is moored.
She was formerly in the employ. of the Government,
and rendered some service on the Potomac river at
the commencement of. the rebellion. She mounted
One heavy gun,
ifloving.to the south portion of the yard, we pass
the lower ship-house on our right, from which the
Tacony was launched about two weeks ago. A
scene of confusion is here presented, as is usual in
all cases after a launch. Advancing to the stone
pier, and 'crossing the dock upon a sort of bridge
erected there during the' summer months, we arrive
at the lower portion of the yard. Directly opposite
the bridge, and about fifty feet from it, are situate the
docks, comprising nine sections. Upon them at the
present time is the steamer Memphis, repairing.
They have but lately been replaced, as the dock was
being dug out. Descending to the edge of the lower
or long pier, we find moored to the southern portion
of it the gunboats Wissahickon and Seneca, the
former repairing and the latter still in commission.
Advancing to the edge of' the pier, we have full
sweep of the river as far north as Oodper's Ppint,
and southwardly to a distance of two miles below,
Gloucester Point. 'Anchored in the stream are
three United States men-of-war and one foreign
steamer.
. .
First, we observe the sailing sloop-of-war Sara
toga, Commander George Colvocorenses„ who has
advertised for sailors,
so difficult are they to be ob
tained otherwise. In her wake is the receiving ship
Princeton, always alive and teeming with anima
tion.` Below her we find the well-known steamer
Tuscarora, in a dismantled condition, and farther
down the stream, below Reed street, is the Genoese
corvette, San Giovanni.
After a long and interesting survey we again re
trace our steps ; but, instead of returning by the
came route, we choose another, by the lower portion
of the yard.:• Passing by the interior dock, a large
number of ships' boats are seen, ready for delivery,
and also the small water sloop Cordoras, to supply
the blockading squadrons with .water.--Perambu
lating upward. we pass to our right, in the distance,
the iron-clad. Tonawanda, building in the open air.
Close upon our left is the boat shop and spar shop,
and a'little farther on the block shop. In immediate
succession we have the spar and blacksmith shops
in our. rear, and again enter the main avenue of the
yard.
Upon the left, as we ascend, we observe in the dis
tance, and nearly back of the officebuilding, the drill
ground, where the marine guard are manceuvrecl in
the morning. Above the drill ground, and resting
upon Front street, are the private residences, owned
by the Government, and inhabited by Government
officials. In our ascent we find several things to in
terest us. The large"gun wirh the little ones around
it, on the left, and the bowsprit of the Guerriere,
captured by the Constitution, meet the eye. Other
guns, of more or less size, attract the attention.
There are about twenty.two hunded workmen em
ployed in the navy yard. The majority of these com
prise carpenters, laborers, ship-joiners, plumbers,
and blacksmiths. Each department is kept very busy
at this time. The hours of labor are from seven A.
X. to six P. M., with one hour's intermission at
noon. This is changed during the winter months,
and the men are allowed to retire at sundown: •
There are eight mortars lying in the yard, which
have been there about six or eight months. These,
together with the large number of heavy guns, and
the lb-inch shell lying loosely around, present to the
eye of the visitor a warlike appearance. When the
mortars were first ordered to the yard, it was rumor
ed that a mortar fleet would be titled out, and de
- "patched to Admiral Porter. But this was merely,
a rumor. They will' probably lie in idleness for a
rear or so, and then will be used by the Govern
ment.
The - Board of Examining Engineers for the navy
is-still in session at.the navy yard. Since they have
been convened in Philadelphia they have recom
mended five promotions to chief engineers, forty
four to second assistant engineers, and seventy-nine
for admission as third assistant engineers. The
Board consists of the following gentlemen: Chief
Engineers Thomas Williamson, George Gideon, and
Charles Baker.
Thefe is a great scarcity of sailors at the present
time to man the different vessels of our navy,
the demand never being so great. The shipping
masters have, therefore, been almost unable to per
form their duties, owing to this cause: Ad a rule,
the navy is much preferred by the old " Jack Tars"
to the.common merchant service.
We will now , attempt a description of each vessel
owned by the Government. The first to which we
would draw attention is the receiving ship Prince
ton.
Receiving Ship Princeion.—This old sailing frigate
has been used as a receiving ship at the Philadelphia
navy yard for several years, and was formerly con
sidered a crack vessel in our little navy. She now
lies in the river, where she was hauled from the
lower dock of the yard at the opening of spring.
During the past two weeks she has been repaired
and painted the regulation color of the navy, which
gives her an excellent appearance in the stream.
The Princeton is now commanded by Lieutenant
"George R. Gray, detached from the Ohio. He was
ordered to the command last week. A large num
ber of sailors, destined for vessels fitting and repair
ing for sea, is constantly on board and ready for im
mediate service. At times the number exceeds five
and six hundred men. She is about 990 tons bur
`.:den, and when In service carried twenty-four me
dium-sized guns as her battery. .
Saratoga.—The Saratoga is a sailing, sloop-of-war,
of the old class, and resembles the Princeton in con
struction, She has been at - this port about six
Months. When last upon duty she formed part of
the squadron on the west coast of Africa, and did ex
cellent service under good officers. After discharg
ing the duties there she was ordered by the Navy
Department to this port for repairs. She arrived
here in the month of December, when she went out
of commission and her crew diecharged. Repairs
were 'soon after commenced upon her, and she is
now in a properteondltion for active service. ' She
lies in the. stream awaiting orders for her departure,
Which will not be,received for six weeke. Com
mander George M. Colvocoresses was appointed to
her command in the middle of last month. This
• gentleman by birth is_ fi" native of Greece, but has
been in the service about twenty years—a large por
tion of that time being spent upon the sea. As the
'vessel has not gone into commission, none of the
unior officers have been appointed. Her next sta
tion will be either in the Mediterranean or . African
squadrons. The Saratoga carries nineteen guns
and has a burden of 682 tons.
Tusearorw—This vessel, which has gained such
notoriety by her acts in connection with the priva
teer Sumpter, is also in the stream in a dismantled
• Condition. She reached our port on the 13th of last
Month, when she went out or commission, her crew
discharged,' and her officers detached. Her repairs
will be extensive, as she has been in service in fo
- reign waters nearly eighteen months. She is a beau
tiful vessel, and one of the fastest in the navy, .and
Was well adapted to the, service in which she was
engaged... All our readers are familiar with her ex
tloits in blockadin the privateer Sumpter for so
ong a time in a European harbor, and the final
escape of that vessel. She has been constantlykept
before the eyes of the public for over a year. The
Tuscarora carries a battery of eighteen guns—some
of them of the heaviest calibre. She will not again
go into service before the expiration of two months.
Princess Royal.—The Princess Royal is an iron
- Screw:sloop of eight hundred tons, and was captured,
by our blockading squadron off Charleston harbor,
at the time of the raid of the rebel iron-clads upon
our fleet. She was immediately ordered to Phila
• delphia, and brought the first authentic news of the
encounter between the iron-clad rams and our
Wooden blockading vessels. She was immediately
taken in charge by the United States Marshal, and
her cargo prepared for sale, which was very valu
able, consisting of drugs, medicines, chemicals, etc'.
The vessel was purchased by the Government, and
for the past two months has been under the hands of
the workmen. She is now , nearly ready for service,
but has not yet gone into commission, and will carry
about ten guns, mostly brass howitzers. The Prin
cess Royal is also very fast and can easily steam
fourteen knots an hour, and on several occasions
has done even better. Her destination will probably
be the Gulf Blockading Squadron, where she will be
of immenee 'value in preventing blockade runners
from entering or departing via the sounds and inlets
along the, gulf shores. Her commander is a gentle
man who haabeen service.
Memphis.—The fine iron steamer Memphis is on
the ;motional dock, , at the yard, where the repairs to
her cutwater are being finished. This vessel arrived
at the navy yard about the fifteenth of. April
last,
badly damaged on the bow, having comein contact
With the iron-clad Keokuk as she was towing her
Up the harbor of Charleston. Her injuries were so
serious as to compel her immediate removal to a
Northern port for repairs. She will soon be in a fit
condition for service.
Wissahickon,--The Wissahickon is a gunboat of
Small dimensions, but has seen nearly as much ser
vice as any other vessel in the navy, during the pre
sent rebellion. During one of the engagements in
the Mississippi, in the spring of 1862, she received
forty shots in her hull and rigging. Her hull was
completely riddled, the masts in a tottering condi
tion, and the smoke-stack pierced through , and
through. Although her' injuries were so serious at
that time, she managed to reach the navy yard,
Where her repairs were completed in a satisfactory
- Manner, and, she again went to sea. She was placed
- upon the Atlantic Blockading Squadron, in the
of Port Llinyal. Some' few weeks since her

' nine guns of considerable calibre, and left a few days
ago for Fortress Monroe.
Tawny,—The Tacony is , a side-wheel, double
' bowed steamer of excellent construction. Her bur
den is 974 tons, and when in service will carry nine
• rani._ She was launched on the 7th of the present
Month, from the lower ship-house of the yard, very
.oe,eferfu•
lly. She is one of the twenty-seven double
dereordered for the navy and is the sixteenth of
Class afloat. The Tacony has been pronounced
, orapetent judges to be the best vessel of her
'ru n ning
from any navy yard in the country.
'running plank of the bottom is three and a half
Oleo in thickness. The engine -frame is in its pro
rpOsition to receive the engine, which is in a for
ward state of completion. The dimensions of the
vessel are, length, between perpendiculars, 240 feet;
breadth of' beam, 35 feet 2 inches ; depth of hold, 12
feet. .Tbe battery of the Tacony is as follows: Two
100-pound rifled Parrott guns,(on .pivot), four nine-
Inch Dahigrens, and , four .24-pound howitzers,
a
making total of twelve guns. She is now recelv,
big her machinery at the works of Messrs. Morris,
in Kensington.
Shenandorth.-411b1 gunboat is the finest vessel at
our station. She has a length of 240 feet and a bur- I
den of 1,318 tons. She will carry twenty-three guns.
Her launch took place in January from the main
ship-house, and was attended with success. She now
lies at the main pier of the yard nearly completed.
Her masts, spars, and rigging are in place, but the
sails have notbeen . attached. Her engine is a pow- ,
erful one, and capable. of -forcing the vessel through
the water at a high rate 01-speed., The Shenandoah..
bas not yet gone into commission, and her officers
have not been appointed. .
Tonawanda.—The iron-clad Tonawanda is on the
stocks in the yard, constructing, and a large force of
workmen is engaged upon her. The Tonawanda
will carry four guns, with a burden of 1,564 tons.
Her dimensions are, length, between perpendiculars,
260 feet, extreme brea'dth oi beam 50 feet, and depth
of hold 12 feet. The ribs of the vessel are all 4 ia
position and : the planking more than two-thirds
completed. In addition to five inches of iron plating,
she will have a thickness of planking that will be'
almost impervious to shot and shell. Her two tur
rets will be very strong and carry two of the heavi
est guns; each. All the late improvements are to
be added both to hull and turrets. Below deck the
space-is-roomythe, and cOmfortable. The Tonawanda
is being built exactly on the plan of Bricason's - bat
teries, with the exception of having two turrets.
She will not be completed for three months to come.

. - .
Kansas.-This vessel Was commenced in the upper
ship.house of the yard about two weeks ago, and
already rapid strides have been made towards its
completion. About two-thirds of the ribs have been
erected, and but a limited time will find them all is
position. Her dimensions are as follows : Length
between perpendiculars 180 feet; - extreme breadth of
beam 20. feet, and depth of hold 12 feet 2 inches. Her
burden .is 693 tons. She can be ready for launching
in two months, if the same celerity continues which
has-been manifested within the past two weeks.
She will Carry hut five guns.
Wya/using.This vessel is built on the same atyle
as the Tammy, and was launched on last Tuesday
week from the ship-yard of W. Cramp & Sons, Ken
sington. The dimensions of the Wyalusing are:
length between perpendiculars, 240 feet ; breadth of
-beam, 36 feet 2 inches ; depth of hold, 12 feet. The
draught is five feet four inches, and she will be used
for Southern sounds and rivers. Sha is the seven
teenth of her class which has been launched. Her
armament will be the same as the,Tacony , e, pre
viously given. After being launched she was floated
to the works of Piney, Jones, & Co., Wilmington,
Del., for the purpose of receiving her machinery.
After this has been accomplished, she will come up
to the navy yard, where she will be fitted out and
placed in commission ready for service.
Pontiac.—This steamer was launched on Saturday
afternoon; from the yard of Birely, Hillman, & Co.,
Beach street, Kensington. She is destined to carry
nine large guns, of nine and eleven-inch calibre.
She has been well built, and was constructed upon
the same plan as the
• Wyalusing. Her dimensions
are : length between perpendiculars, 240 feet; breadth
of beam,'3s feet ; depth of hold, 12 feet. mThe 'a
chinery has not been placed in this vessel yet, but
it will be done at once. The steamer will be used
for the same purposes as her predecessors. The
engines are being constructed by the firm of Nape
& Levy, of Kensington.
Birmuda.—For two months past this vessel has
been undergoing repairs at the -navy yard, and on
last Wednesday she departed from the yard, tho
roughly, tted up and repaired as a transport. She
was captured by the blockading squadron last spring,
and sent to this port. Her cargo netted a fine income
from its, mile. The Bermuda will be -used in con
junction with the transport Massachusetts, plying
between -this port and the blockading squadrons,
carrying the mails and provisions. .She, is an iron
steamer, and capable of making sixteenknots an,
hour. She will, return to our port in about two
weeks, and, after a fresh instalment, will depart
again on her mission. •. In her route she will stop off
Wilmington and Port-Royal, thence to Key West
.and the'Eastem and Western Gulf squadrons, miler
as the Rio Grande. Her burthen is 1,000 tons. -
Ticonderoga.—This vessel came to our port on last
Saturday afternoon, after a trial trip of one week.
She started from New York on Wednesday week, and
sailed for - Fortress Monroe,which she reached in
thirty and a half hours. She then received orders
from the Navy Department to leave at once for
Philadelphia, which she did on Friday afternoon.
This was an acceptable move, as at least one-half of
the Officers are from this city. Her principal officer
is Lieutenant Commander Bushroth.B. Taylor, both
a' superior officer and a gentleman.
. The Ticonderoga is a vessel built on the same plan
as the .Shenandoah at our yard, both being mag
nificent vessels. Her burden i 51,378 tons, and the
dimensions are : length, 240 feet ; breadth of beam,
35 feet; and she draws from thirteen to fifteen feet
of. water when in service. Fourteen heavy guns
constitute -her battery, consisting of nine and'
elevdminch Dahlgrens and 200-pound rifled Par
rotts. Her crew numbers 240 picked men. It is
not known how long she will remain at our navy
yard. but it is not probable that her stay will be
lengthy. No repairs whatever are needed, and it
appears strange that a vessel of her class should
have been ordered to Philadelphia apparently with
out cause.
Seneca.—This gunboat came to the port of Phila
delphia last Monday night, for repairs to her, ma
chinery. She has been connected with the South
Atlantic blockading squadron since October, 1861,
and has rendered valuable aid. She left Port Royal
on the 13th ult., for Philadelphia, and is commanded
by Lieutenant Commander William Gibson. She
carries five guns, as follows : one 11-inch Dahlgren ,•
one 20-pound rifled Parrott.; one 12-pound rifled
howitzer, and two 24-pound howitzers. The officers
and crew number about one hundred men. She has
not yet gone out of commission.
Yanlic.—Another gunboat will be commenced in
the lower ship-house of the navy yard under this
title. She will be a small side-wheel steamer, in
tended'for Southern river navigation. The stocks
will be prepared to receive her in about tliree weeks.
mother Double Bom.—Another double-bowed side
wheel steamer is being constructed in Bordentown •
for the Government. It will be launched about the
latter part of next month. She will have a heavy
battery of 11-inch Dahlgrens,. and rifled Parrotts.
The aides,- above the water, will be iron-clad. ' The
dimensions are—length between perpendiculars, 240
feet; breadth of beam, 30 feet 2 inches; depth of
hold, 12 feet. • . •
Galena:—This iron-clad steamer has been in the
service a little over a year, but has not proven altc.
gether successful. She has lately been in the vici-'
nity of Fortress Monroe, guarding thatlocality from.
another rebel raid. She has not been in any engage..
ment since her attack upon Fort Darling, in connec-•
tion with the little " Monitor " and Naugatuck. - At
that time a eopsiderable amount of damage was ex , '
perienced from theenemre shot, aiithey penetrated
the iron-plating at almost every discharge. Several
of her crew were killed and wounded.< She arrived'
at this port on. Thursday afternoon,' and' comes for
extensive repairing. Her coat of mail will be taken
off, and the vessel will be thoroughly inspected, and
if found expedient, will be repaired in the strongest
possible manner. 'Her battery consists of six guns -
of medium size and weight.; The: necessary work
will be commenced at once, and the Galena will be
floated upon the sectional docks within seweek. - Her
construction was effected at Mystic. She is in charge
of Lieutenant Commanding L. Paulding.
The naval authorities have contracted with -Mer
rick & Sons, of this city, and Heaney &Archbold, , of •
Chester, for one iron-clad steamer of light., draught,
each. These vessels will have but one . turret, which'
will contain two guns, the plane of which were got
ten up.by Captain Ericsson. The price of each ves
sel ranges from $380,000 and upward.
The shipyards along the river,-front, from South
wark to Kensington, present almost as lively-an ap
pearance as the navy yard.
Everything in and
around them looks gay. .
At the yard of Mr. John Lynn, at Reed street, a
barge of 300 tons is partly completed. It is owned
by Captain J. Kirby. A pilot boat of 80 tons burden
is rapidly advancing towards completion. It is in
tended for the Delaware bay pilots. Three tug
boats, of different dimensions;' are constructing. A
cutter for the Treasury Department, of 350 tons
burden, is nearly ready for service. Two barges,
one of 325 and the other 350.t0ns burden, are:under
the hands of the workmen. The former is owned
by the Messrs. Flanagan, and will be launched on
Saturday afternoon; the latter is owned by the
Messrs.- Fuller, Devinney, &. Co. The keel of a•
large steamship, of 1,100 tons, has just been laid.
She will be used for service between New York,
Havana, and New Orleans.
At Simpson &Neill's yard, at the foot of Christian
street, a new tug-boat,-called the Stephen Decatur,
is on the marine railway for coppering. She was re
cently built for, the ,Messrs. Flanagan, but has since
gone into the service of the Government. 'The large
and powerful steamer New York is on the sectional
docks at this yard. She was used by the Govern
ment as a transport and a flag -of-truce boat, and
conveyed prisoners of war to and from Richmond,
the rebel capital. The work at this plebe continues
steady.
At Neafie & Levy's yard, in Kensington, a num
ber of vessels are in different stages of completion.
The tog boat Stag is being fitted up. Her machinery
is also being placed in her. She was launched some
three weeks since. The steamship launched last
Saturday - , 'from Lynn's yard, is being completed
here. Her
burden is 900 tons, and she is owned by
the Messrs. Hanagan. The tug-boat Blarygokl has
been ordered into the Government. service for tow
ing. She is nearly completed., - Besides these, a
number of vessels are being completed for different
firms. This firm is noted all over the Union for the
durability and excellence of nll its workmanship.
At the yara of Birely & Hillman, Beach street,
Kensington a number of smaller:sized vessels are
in different stages of completion. :-A barge, the El
lie Knight, of 500 tons, was launched from this yard
on Tuesday afternoon. The Government steamer
Pontiac was launched on Saturday afternoon.
Vaughn & Fisher are also busily engaged in. the;
construction of vessels. Cramp & Sons have seve
ral vessels under the hands of the workmen. This
firm, during the past year, has done much' work for
the Government. The iron-clad steamier New Iron
sides was launched from this yard.
There is considerable activity in the coasting trade.
One day this week no less than thivlteive vessels
arrived at this port, and about twentf cleared from
it. A great difficulty is felt in obtaining Bailors for
the merchant service.. A large number of those who
ship are not sailors, and trouble of a serious nature
often ensues from this fact.:: Never, We repeat, have
"the navel and shipping - interests-presented so favor
able an appearance.
TnE CIERISTIAIc Commrssiox —The first
•
annual report of the Christian, Commission has just
been published, and covers over one hundred pages.
It details the operations of the committee in the va
•rious military departments and shows to what great
extent so !excellent an auxiliary can promote the
welfare and efficithicy of an army. The'commission
expresses itself in great debt to the Philadelphia
Association, who furnished fifty delegates, one of
whom, Rev. Mr. Ladd, fell a martyr to the work.
Of these, others besides the lamented Ladd
were brought to the borders of the grave by
the abundance of their labors, and the terrible
ordeal of exposure, privation, and excitement
through= which they sought the salvation
of our brave men, body and soul. Yet none
ever murmured or complained, and many have gone
time and again.. Such a cause only asthis, which
combines all that is sacred in the service of God, all
:that is touching and thrilling in therelief and benefit
of man, and all that is noble and heroic in the salva
tion of our nation in - peril, could ever have called
pastors from their churches, physicians from their
patients, lawyers from their cases, merchants from
their customers, and men of all walks from their
homes, and home comforts and duties, togo out and
sleep on the ground, eat hard tack, drink muddy
water, or coffee more muddy, for the pleasure of
washing and cleansing muddy, bloody, vermin
covered, infected, wounded, fetid men, and 'of
preaching to them the blessed Jesus, and cheering
them from home. .
These fifty delegates have gladdened the soldiers
by their presenter and words - and deeds of love, in all
the hospitals; and on all the battle-fields of the Pe
ninsula of Pope's disastrous campaign, of the Ma
ryland invasion, of the Fredericksburg repulse, and
of the Murfreesboro victory.
In the prosecution of the home work, about two
hundred members of the Association have partici
pated, several hundreds of meetings have been held
with the soldiers, in hospitals and camps, and fifteen
hundred Testaments, twenty-live Bibles, thirty thou
sand and fifty four hymn and psalm books, nine thou
sand seven hundred and eight other books, six hun
dred thousand pages of tracts, three thousand five
hundred magazines, and thirty-eight thousand seven
hundred papers have been distributed.
Two features of the borne work in Philndelphia
were these:
- MILE SUPPLIED. TO THE HOSPITALS.-A supply
of, milk not having been furnished by. Government,
the association, by request of the surgeons, arranged
with reliable milkmen for a daily supply, to be left
at the hospitals. "Up to February. 14th, the quanti
ty furnished amounted to forty thousand two hun-•
dred and twenty quarts, fifteen hundred of which
had been generously contributed by the milkmen.
The other home work alluded to is the record of
Pennsylvania soldiers in hospitals in and around
. -
At the earnest solicitation - of the Goveinor and
Surgeon General Of the State of Pennsylvania, the
Young Men's Christian Association have under
taken to furnish and keep at the rooms of the asso
elation, a complete record of all Pennsylvania sol
(hers in the hospitals in and around the city, to visit
them weekly, attend to their wants so far as they
may be able, communicate with their friends at
home if they desire it, and, in fact ; to seek to make
their condition as comfortable as possible, and at
the
-same time to benefit them spiritually by reit-
Vous conversation, gifts of tracts and books, and
establishing prayer meetings among them.
To further this work, they have obtained froni
the Governor and Surgeon General commissions

of a hole in the roof of the store and dwelling of
Edward Moore, 14G North Second street. It origi
liated from ketray spark. One shingle was burned.
'A large number of fire companies were speedily in
attendance,- and a number of steamers; with full
heads on, were ready to proceed_ on the principle of
"tossing.tho -ocean 'to drown fly," and thus de
stroy the store and household property of Mr. Moore.
Assistant Engineer Frees was early upon the ground,
and his emphatic No I saved much valuable property
from deluge.
WHAT DOES IT .113.EAN ?---Yesterday MOM
lug pieces of old newspaPers were discovered pasted
on show bills and the street corners, telegra - ph poles,
and other prominent public places. It is: evident
there has been some extensive preconcertion In the
affair, as the pieces of newspapers, four or five in
number, were observed as pasted on. one show bill--
this being the case in many parts of the city. The
subject attracted considerable attention, and a vari
ety of comment and speculation.

session of, this company, they will to-day house a
cylinder (800 feet) of newlo=inch forcing hose, which

THE PO,LICE_
[Before Mr. Alderman Berner.]
Alleged sPiekpockets Arrested.
Two young men who belong to the petty class of sneak
thieves were arraigned atthe Central 'Station on Satur•
day afternoon, - They gave • the names of Thomas Todd
and . Thonias . Williams; they both have: an indefinite
number of aliases., Todd hiss been in the hands of the
police several times recently, but as he is not known to
any of the authorities as a professional thief, he has so
far escaped the infliction. of .
the •"ninety-days law."
He and his fellow prisoner are charged, in this instance,
with having- Picked the- pocket of an elderly woman in
the auction store et' Mr. G. W. &fifth, in South street.
• They only obtained , eight cents for their trouble. The
charge against them was only partly inveetigated. They
were' committed to await a further hearing, when it is
expected some interesting developments will be made.
Caught at Last
David Brown, colored boy, was arrested by. Officer
Samuel Smith, at the Turner's Lane Military Hospital,.
on Saturday,on the charge of committing a series of rob
beries several months since. Be is alleged to be the
prime mover of a gang of boys, white and black, who
robbed the store of. Mr. George Doll, on North Sixth
strees, of an almost endless variety of articles. After that
robbery was discovered a number of boys were arrested,'
but Brown escaped. He went to New York and other
places, but a short time since he returned - to Philadol-.
phis., and received employment at tbe hospital afore
said. Remade a voluntary confession of the thefts, and,
said that he would -pay for all the things he had stolen.
He is charged with having robbed Mr. Doll's store; also
three stores in the visinity of Ninth and Arch streets,
and one or two stores in the vicinity of Eighth and Arch
streets. Shoes, a balmoral skirt, an umbrella, and sneer
ecbanm pipes were recovered: The- shirt he had on was
stolen from another store. The prisoner, in hiaown de
fence before the magistrate. admitted that he had stolen
the things, but he told the officer where he - could:find
t ‘ hem. •' At the present time lam employed," said he,
'at the hospital on Turner ' s. Lane. , '
What do you do
there?" inquired the magistrate, to which the prisoner
answered, ' I dress the wounds of soldiers." -He-was
committed, in default of $l,OOO bail, to answer at court.
The Ninety Days Law Imposed.
Frank Dillon alias Frederick Dunn was arraigned at
the Central Station on the charge of picking the pocket
of a passenger at• the Kensington depot, at about one
o'clock on Saturday morning.
Officer Kelly,.'who arrested:him, testified that on hear
ing of the robbery he at once proceeded to the depot, and
watched the prieoner. -A gentleman, bound for New
York. identified him as the man who picked his pocket
of a book containing four dollars. About this amount of
money was found upon the accused. The officer there
fore took bun into custody, but .the train started; the
loser being in one of the cars. , The, prisoner was con
'ducted to the station-house, .where he became highly
indignant, and said that he was going to New York, for
which he bad purchased-a ticket. On exhibiting the
document. it bore the date of May the 16th. He,gave the
name of Frederick Dunn. He had been seen several
times recently about the depot, and on the night pre
vious to his arrest he found -it wholesome to run oat of
the depot as fast as he could just as several police officers
entered. When brought to the station ho was.recog
nized as Frank Dillon.
Detective Smith. testified that he knew the defendant
to be the associate of thieves.- Under all these dream..
stances, the magistrate committed the accused for ninety
(Before Mr. Alderman Dougherty.
Almost a INCurder .
Alexander Robinson, an English wharf or vessel-run
ner. was arraigned before Alderman Dougherty, on Sa
turday afternoon, on the charge of stabbing a sailor
named- John Nelson in the. neck, thereby inflicting a
very dangerous wound. A fight occurred a few nights
since in the vicinity of Penn and Lombard streets, during
which the almost mortal stab was received by the sailor.
He was removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital, where
he yet remains, in a precarious condition. The assailant
escaped for a time. On Saturday morning a man made
oath before Alderman Dougherty that, to the best of his
knowledge and belief: Robinson inflicted the stab. The
warrant was issued, and the suspected individual taken
into - custody. On being conducted to the ward in the
hospital where the wounded sailor lay, he at once recog
-nized the prisoner, and said, " Eels the man who stabbed
me." The accused was arraigned before the magistrate..
when the material fact above slated was substantiated.
He was committed, the magistrate refusing to take baill
