A PAGE OF IMPARTIAL HISTORY.—When
the red hand of rebellion was raised against the em
blem of civil and religious liberty the people of the
Country were appalled. The nation, so to speak,
was apparently powerless for a time. Our big ships
of-war-had been sent to distant waters, Our ar
senals and forts in the North had either been robbed
or relieved of their little garrisons. The small army
of 2,600 United States regulars had been sent South
under the command of the meanest of the traitors,
General Twiggs, by the order of the band of cowl
raters who, though solemnly sworn to support the
Conetitulion, were'plotting to overthrow it. The
country then was-impelled in gloom. President
Lincoln had very recently been sworn into his high
and responsible pollition, surrounded, as he was
then, by a few armed soldiers and patriotic citizens,
who sprang to such arms as they could readily ob
tain. Treason flaunted its red flag all over Wash
ington at ;that period. It was then that President
Lincoln called around him the Governors of the
loyal States, to advise with them on the desperate
nature of the emergency.
They met in the White House. It was a sort of
premature, mental Valley Forge.
"Gentlemen," said the President to that little
party of patriotic men, "the machinery of the nation
is out of order. We must rua it as we find it. Its
intelligent wheels, its rods, belts, are separated, but
the boiler seems to be perfect. We must repair the
work, with such skill and ingenuity as we possess.
There is wisdom in council, and therefore I have
called you that we may reason together. What
shall we do to crush out this foul rebellion and pre
serve the country from wreckt I have made up my
mind • with implicit confidence in an overruling
Providence, to meet all emergencies that may arise.
/1 is time for work," continued the President. " What
shall I do about issuing aproclamation to the people?"
The President, with his bands folded behind his
back,'paced up and down the apartment. The six
orleven Governors, who foimed his auditors, were
wrapped in the mantle of deep meditation. Each
expressed hie opinion, but their sentences were
punctuated with too many " ifs or ands."
While all this was going on, Gov. Andrew G.
Curtin, fresh from his Blue-mountain home, was
upon which he was drumming with his fingers, while
standing at the window looking through the panes,
at the same tithe he was humming Hail Columbia.
He was an attentive listener to all that was going on.
He -had not yet been approaehed by the President.
Presently there was profound silence in that small
but thoughtful party of distinguished gentlemen.
Mr. Lincoln finally broke the silent spell, and,
standing erect in all the pride of a Western gentle
man, turned < to Mr. Curtin and said, "Andy,
what will Pennsylvania do if I issue my proclama
tiont"
Silence still more profound prevailed. It was a
momentous question. It seemed as if the fate of
the country depended upon the reply about to be
made. Manifest destiny trembled in the balance.
Gov. Curtin still drumming on the panes with
his fingers as aforesaid, turned, faced the President,
and with uplifted hands, said
"What will Pennsylvania do?" Here he paused.
"Do !" another. pause.
" Why, sir, (with emphasis) if you issue your pro
clamation, Pennsylvania will furnish you a hundred
thousand men in a 'week,'
"Give me 3 our hand, Andy," said the President,
and, as he convuleively,graeped the same, and then
throwing his arras around him, he ejaculated:
"Thank God for that noble reply. I will at once issue my
proclamation.
The President of the great American nation shed
tears—they were tears of joy—which mingled with
those that suffueect the „cheeks of the patriot Go
vernor of the Keystone State. The gloom that en
shrouded that conclave of men now paased away .
like the morning mist before the power of the sum
mer sun ; hope revived the drooping spirits, joy took
- the-place of sorrow; the Governors sprang to their
feet and with one accordcongratulated Mr. Curtin.
The Governor of Pennsylvania telegraphed the
fact of the forthcoming proclamation to the capi
tal of the State, from which it radiated to all parts.
Itwas announced on the newspaper bulletin boards
in:Philadelphia, before the ink of the immortal
document was dry, and thus the yeoman population
of the old Keystone of the Fedbral Aach were
aroused to wholesome enthusiasm.
Two battery companies, of Reading andPottsville,
.on the receipt of Governor Curtinaidespatcit "called
the roll" at once, and the. next train bore them to
the defence of the capital of the nation. We well
remember when those hardy men from the interior,
• some even in their shirt sleeves, passed through
Philadelphia, and took the cam at Broad and Prime
streets. They arrived in Washington so quickly,
'that the red mouth, bloody-minded traitors that sur
rounded-the patriot President, and had Washington
..within their grasp, were struck with astonishment
- upon the sudden appearance of the batteries. They
thought they had been deceived, They were seized
with. the idea that Pennsylvania was at once ready
for the - emergency. The foul conspirators were
paralyzed from their own fears.
The next day the famous Massachusetts 6th, the
Washington Brigade, of Philadelphia, passed through
Baltimore, when a murderous outrage was commit
ted, and the that loyal blood was spilled ; then fol
lowed the New York 7th ; then came the Marmachu
setts B'h. The capital of the nation was saved,
much to the surprise of the conspirators, and to the
gratification of the loyal people of the country.
Truly, Andrew G. Qurtin was the right man in the
right place._ Noble, brave, daring, patriotic, honest,
he alone fixed the spark of patriotism in the bosom
of:President Lincoln, and aroused the nation to en
thusiasm and deeds. of valor. - He is the Richelieu
that thwarted the conspirators of the great Ameri
can Rebellion.
Had he equivocated ; had he put in an if or not ;
had he said, " Well, I don't know—Pennsylvanitl is
the keystone of the arch—a brave and trusty people
Within its borders—they may respond, I suppose—
can't say, but guess they will "—the deep gloom that
shrouded the White House that moment would have
been made blacker, indeed, and the capital of the
nation would have been lost.
THE. PRIMARY ELECTIONS.---The prima
ry elections for delegates to the party conventions
will take place this evening among the Union men,
and on Monday next by the Democracy. The ab
sence at this time of so many of our beet citizens on
their tours of health and pleasure, will throw the
management of these elections entirely into the
hands of the ward politicians. The conventions
in which the delegates about to be chosen will sit
as members, will assemble shortly afterwards, and
nominate candidates for various local offices. It
would be a criminal folly to permit these pri
mary elections to pass over as being of small
importance. The selection' of bad candidates often
proves the defeat of a party at a general
election; for, however sound and correct the
principles of a party, they cannot secure a proper
endorsement where the standard bearers are not' in
their personal character in consonance with them.
Frequently an unworthy man may become the can
didate of a good party, and he is voted for on ac
'count of the company with whom he may at that
time be in political association. No questions are
asked as to integrity or public virtue. He is pre
sumed to be worthy of the nomination, and is
elected, as there exists no suspicion against him.
These men are the injury of a party-subsequently,
and it behooves all who are interested in the purity
of elections to see that no one thrusts himself for
ward who is unworthy of support. Let the nomi
nating conventions be composed of men Whose poli
tical-and personal status entitles them at least to the
respect of their fellow citizens, and there can be no
fearafor the success of the party whose claims for
the suffrages of the people are thus based. It is
with the people themselves to determine the charac
ter of those for whom they will be called upon to
vote in the - fall, and if they neglect the duty now,
the responsibility is with themselves.

COUNTERFEIT - TREASURY NOTES.-.-A.
number of well• executed alterations of treasury
notes have of late made their appearance. The
gg greenback 7, which is mostly altered is of the de
nomination of one dollar, which is made into a ten.
It has an oval portrait of Air. Lincoln in the centre
of the left hand margin ; the one represents in the left
hand top-margin Mr, Secretary Chase. The ten may
be also easily distinguished by its having a spread
eagle on the upner centre, and on the left hand mar
gin the ilium of a female stamped with a red seal.
One sure means of detecting the spurious ten or fifty
is in this way :'along the- margins of the notes are
borders, or smell parallel lines, in which the denomi
nation of the note is set forth in many figures. In
the false notes these figures are obliterated by green
marks," which at once proclaim the cheat.
RETURN OF THE IST COAL REGIMENT.—
The lot Coal Regiment, under the command of Col.
A. Day r returned to Philadelphia yesterday morn
ing about eight o'clock, and proceeded to their old
camping ground, at Powelton. Soon after the ar
rival a deputation of the wholesale miners and coal
dealers,_ with an efficient band of musicians, proceed
ed to the encampment, and escorted the regiment to
the 'Refreshment Saloons, where they were cheer
fully supplied with soldiers' fare, for which those
institutions are justly celebrated. After this. being
over the regiment returned to camp. The members
are pretty well- sunburnt. They have been doing
such duty as was assigned them on the banks of that
historical stream commonly called the Potomac.
FATAL ACCIDENT. —During the heavy
Phower of rain on Sunday night, between ten and
eleven o'clock, two girls took shelter from the storm
by getting under the scaffold on the North Baptist
Church now being built at Broad and Brown streets.
They had an umbrella spread over them. The girls
had only been .here about a minute when a heavy
gust of wind shook the Scaffold and dlslogded a brick
bat. , This missile fell, passed through the umbrella,
and, Striking one of the girls on her bead, fractured
her skull and instantly produced death. Coroner
Conrad held an-inquest yesterday morning, when
the above fscts were elicited. The deceased was re
cognized as Jane McGovern, aged 17 years, who re
sided at 1923 Hamilton street.

evening cooled the atmosphere, and gave us breezes
that were; at least endurable.
•THRRE were forty-six deaths in Philadel

T-HE POLICE.
[Before Mr. Alderman Bottler.]
-• A:Motley Crowd.
Yesterday, afternoon six females were arraigned
at the Central Station on the charge of drunkenness
and disorderly. conduct. One of the party, Anna
Bourke, was charged with keeping a disorderly
house at 227 South Front street. A worse-looking
party ;-.Of repulsive females, whose conduct at the
sitatiOn might well make a person blush, we have
seldom Been. Anna S. Molloy, who had conscientious
Scruples about takingan oathwas called to the stand.
On being affitmed, she testified that she rented the
basement of her house, at 227 Front street, to the
Inisband'of.Aura Bourke ; he is a man- oftwaes-man.
Dirs. Rourke keeps a very disorderly place, so
much so that the neighbors threatened Ye; sue the
witness for maintaining a nuisance. At noon to-day,
continued 'the wttnebri. there was a desperate
among the men and women; there must have been
two hundred in the street, and a hundred in the
house ; a good many of them were drunk ; the wo
men were all drunk ; they had a fi;ht with pots,
kettles, and pans ; they slathered potatoes at each
other, and threw a pot of soup on the party. Mr.
Rourke had a fight with his wife, and knocked her
down on the cellar door; the other women were
pulling and mauling each .other, and their conduct
was entirely disgraceful.
hirs.ißourke interrupted the witness frequently, by
such words, "It's not thrue—me husband only
knocked me down—did'nt hurt me a bit."
The parties were all committed in default of bail,
to keep the;peace. They weie also ordered to pay the
tine for drunkenness. Two of the defendants were
quite young. They passed from the station to the
lockup laughing hysterically as they went along.
A red-haired woman used profanity, and, slapping
her fists together, vowed revenge on the witness.
The remainder of the crowd of broken-down hu
manity followed the officer to the cella below, and
thus the station was cleared of a revolting spectacle.
Two young men were arraigned on the charge of
passing a counterfeit $6 note on Mr. Boyd, at Fifth
and Green streets, on Saturday evening. The note
purports to be the true issue of the 'Union Bank of
Troy, and is so well executed as to deceive any per
son who is not well acquainted with the genuine
notes of this bank. The evidence adduced against
the young men is slightly circumstantial. They
were held for further investigation. Detective Bar
tholomew recognized one of them as a novice in the
counterfeit note-passing vrofesslon. The other 'de
fendant he thinks Is a fugitive from justice from
Media, in Delaware county.
Mrs. Norcross was arraigned, last evening, on the
charge of maintaining a nuisance 'by keeping a very
disorderly house at 125 Gothic street, formerly Nor
ris alley. The witnesses were John Mills, Edward
Devlin, Michael , Farmer, Geo. P. Conowghton,
James Graham, Francis Mulholland, Matthew
Burke, and one or two others. From the evidence
adduced, it is fair to say that the place complained
of is a brothel of the lowest character. Night is
made hideous with the noise that emanates there.
from ; the language of men and women is shocking
ly profane ; their actions decidedly immoral; rum
and ruin may be considered as the mother of the
motley crowds that hold their orgies there at all
hours of the night. The filthiness of the alley, the
heat of the weather,the bites of mosquitoes,taken into
consideration with the great nuisance complained of
make life unendurable in that great thoroughfare.
There are some respectable people Whose poverty
compels them to live in such out ofthe-way places,
and yesterday there was a general uprising of them,
who determined at once to appeal to the law for re
dress of grievance. The worthy magistrate fad'',•
tated them in the progress of moral reformation, by
holding the defendant to bail in the sum of $l,OOO, to
answer at the criminal court.
Dishonest Domestic.
Emma Woodward was arraigned before the police
magistrate of the Fifth ward yesterday, on the
charge of stealing bed clothes and dresses, the pro
perty of lgrs. W. B. Ely, residing at 237 North Sixth
street. The defendant had been employed two weeks
as a domestic in the family, and, with the facility
thus aftbrded, helped herself to the articles named.
The goods were recovered, and she was committed
in default of $l,OOO bail to answer.
A man, named Andrew Heron, has been commit
ted, bail being properly refused, by Alderman Hutch
inson, on the charge of assault and battery with
intent to kill Andrew Barber, a driver on the Race
and Vine Street Passenger railroad. It seems that
on Saturday Heron, whe was somewhat intoxicated,
was free in expressing his opinion against the
Government. This occurred in a bar-roornof a pub
lic house, near Fairmount. Of course a dispute
arose, and presently Heron dared Barber- to fight
him. The latter, not wishing to engage in any dis
turbance, attempted to get away, even after having
been struck by Heron. 'The latter pulled out a pis
tol, and fired at Barber, and the ball took effect in
hie side, just above the hip,) inflicting a very danger
ous wound. There is but little hope entertained for
his recovery.
Conrad Dahries is the name given by an individual
arraigned before Alderman Kennedy, on the ,charge
of selling liquor upon the Sabbath day, at his house
on' Buttonwood street, above third. He was, there
fore, indicted for keeping a disorderly house. Some
people have an idea that a great noise atone is ne
cessary to constitute a disorderly house. The sim
ple fact of selling ardent spirits on the Sabbath day,
no matter if it be done very quietly, yet the court
has ruled, time and again, that this constitutes a
disorderly house. The defendant writ' held to bail
to answer.
(Before Mr. Alderman Hibberi
Alleged Robbery.
A. boy, giving the name of John Kelly, who has
been employed in the Farmers , Market House for
some time, was arraigned on Saturday evening on
the charge of robbing one of the occupants of the
stall. The money was in the pocket of a vest which
he hung on a hook. There was no positive evidence
that the defendant had taken the money. He was
held for a future investigation.
