WATER WORE'S IN THE TWENTY-FOURTH WARD.—Many of the inhabitants of the Twenty fourth ward justly complain that they do not receive a supply of water, for which they have paid in ad vance. Even in that section of the ward, on a level with the grade of Thirty. sixth and Locust streets, the residents have not bad a supply for some time. They are, therefore, annoyed. Many of the dwel lings have all the modern improvements, such as hot baths, for which water.baoks and circulating boilers have been introduced, and in order to prevent an accident, the faucets have to be kept open to prevent explosion. Complaints have been lodged at the office of the IMpartment, but no satisfactory explanation has been yet. elicited. The people are told that the works are kept going at their full ca pacity. This, of course, is simply a downright fa, brioation, because the fact was well established when Mr. Dirkinbine was the engineer, that the head of n.,-NiVer,nalklulkin.thewhole section of country that is not sUPplied at all The works-have,recent ly been put in order. and they ought to be as good as ever. If, in the attempt to put them in order, the workmen ruined them, then it is the fault of the Department certainly, and the people.ought to have their money refunded, because they have paid in ad vance for a necessary article they do not receive. The works have never been so shamefully mis managed, and the people of that ward never so grossly misrepresented in the City Council by one man who persistently holds Ms seat there at the ex pense of election officers, who are now paying the penalty for perjury, owe it to themselves to hurl into merited insignificance that party or men who have not intelligence or honesty enough to deal with them fairly. The present water works, when full, are sufficient for an adequate supply of water, or else water does not reach its own level. The "lacteal fluid in this cocoanut" may be accounted for as follows: The present vultures, who hold the power in the City Councils by base forgery, desire to prevent a supply of water so as to induce the inhabitanta of the ward to petition for extensive works. This will require a heavy outlay of funds, and it is desired that the contracts shall be given out before the next Council comes into power. The jobbers of the present party have an eye to this business, but it is agarcely pro bable they are smart enough to enshroud the optics of the people of the Twenty-fourth ward. If it is desirous to testthe distributing power of the stand pipe, we can furnish an engineer from The Press de partment alone who can make it supply the people who now complain. RIVER' SCENE.—Standing yesterday on one of the long piers that extend considerably So wards the stream of the river .Delaware, we could not help feeling gratified at the panoramic scene before and all around us—ships, brigs, schooners, sloops, barges, steamboats, large and small, tugs, rafts,'Pcc., all passing to and fro, conspired to make a picture that could well gratify the most enthusiastic commercial man in the metropolis. All along the ,wharves were many evidences of prosperity and in dustry. Everybody was lively, for everybodys eemed to be up to his elbows, or his head and ears, in busi ness. Low down in the river, from - the place we took our view, the back ground was filled in with ships.of.war, lying off the navy yard. Five steam boats rounding. Greenwich Point at one time, gave a lively finish to the scene. Watermelons, can telopes, and peaches, were on the bosom of the river, in Jersey "smacks," destined to supply Phila delphia with the luxury' which God's own bounty has given to all. One, in looking upon such scenes, could scarcely realize that war had desolated any part of the land. THE WEATNER.—Wheneyer n sudden change takes place in the weather, or whether the weather is intensely hot or cold, the people seem with one accord to look at the thermometer. Those of our people who did not consult the instrument yesterday may know that at noon yesterday the mercury in dicated a temperature of 73 degrees. The wind was ,raw,,from the northeast, and sort of Scotch mist prevailed. The season at our sea-side resorts will soon be over, and people will return refreshed and ready to renew business with alacrity. .The algae of business in the coming fall are very encouraging indeed. AN ExcuitsioN TO THE SEA.—,-The great - excursion to be given by Mr. Mundy, an old and re liable conductor on the Camden and Atlantic Rail road, will take place this evening. The advertise ment in The Press sets forth the particulars. This is the sixth excursion given by Mr. Mundy, and there is every likelihood that the one of this evening will be as well attended as any of the former ones. Tickets may be obtained during to day of Colonel John. G. Bryant, at the office, Vine-street wharf. Parties, large or small, will be provided with special cars in the train, so that all can enjoy themselves. Mr. Mundy is au fait in such matters, and knows well how to cater for the public. A MOONLIGHT TRIP TO THE CITY BY THE SEA.-Mr.. Mundy gives another of hie delightful moonlight excursions to Atlantic City this evening. Theaars leave Vine-street wharf - at 7.30 P. M., an d returning leave Atlantic City on Monday at 4 A. M., thus affording a tine opportunity for our citizens to enjoy a day and two nights at the sea•side with. out neglecting their business. The bathing at At lantic City cannot be surpassed. The low rate of tickets places it within reach of all classes, and we can assure the excursionists that Mr. Mundy will make all necessary arrangements for their comfort and convenience during the trip. THE SIXTH. WARD DEMOCRATIC NOMI 31ATIONS.—The two tickets for ward officers in the Sixth ward, by the Democrats, have not been amal gamated as yet, and both sides aver there will be no compromise. Mr. Schriner, who was amnia sted for Select Council, received the votes of the bolting -.l;;legataz-thr.t.asseilibled at Fourth, above Arch • street. Mr. Robert J. Barr was previously nomi nated for the same position by the regular Conven tion of the ward. DEATIrS AT ARMY HOSPITALS.—The fol lowing deaths were reported yesterday : Broad and Cherry—Thos. G.

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN A.SSOCIATION. —The Young alen , e Christian Association will make an excursion to Atlantic city on Tuesday next.. Should the weather be favorable; the associa tion will have a most agreeable time. Admirable arrangements have been made by the committee for the convenience of the excursionists. ,„ EXCURSION. TO CAPE, MA .—There Will be two excursion trains to this favorite watering place to•day. The price of tickets has been placed at $4, good to return on Monday. A delightful trip may be anticipated, as the trains pass through to Cape May without changing cars or taking stages. POSTAL ARRANGEMENT. The Depart ment at Washington has issued an order that the postage on all letters from parties directed to any of the Departments, or officers of •said Departments, mustbe pre-paid. LUMP WILLIAM PENN.—There will be a lag presentation at Camp William Penn to-morrow afternoon. This camp has already sent away one colored regiment that arrived safely at Morris Island.

[Before Mr. Alderman Balder. ] A Knock Down and Robbery. Two young men, George and Frank Morris, bro. - there, were arraigned at the Central Station yester day afternoon. The following evidence was elicited : 'On Thursday night, Mr. W. J. Stephenson, while quietly seated at Filth and Spruce afreete, was suddenly assailed by a person who knocked. him down and robbed him of his gold watch and chain, valued at $lOO. Officer Levy, of the detective force, arrested Geo. Morris, on Locust street, near Eighth. At the time defendant and his• brother Frank were in company. The latter broke the hold of the 'officer, and George dashed off at the top of his speed, down Acorn alley, thence into Spruce street, and finally took refuge in a store at the corner of Eighth street. During the race officer Levy discharged his pistol, not at the fugitive, but into the air ; but it had no intimidating effect. He might have shot George, but this he did not desire to do. The alarm attracted general attention. Several officers arrived, and one of them, Mr. John Lindsay, of the First division, arrested Frank. Mr. Stephenson testified that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, George Morris is the one who committed the assault and battery, and stole the watch. The defendants dtaried the charge. George said that the witness was entirely mistaken. " Why did you runt" asked the magistrate. "Because I didn't want to be arrested," -replied the prisoner. "Arrested for whatl" rejoined the alderman. " , Why, I didn't want to be arrested for nothing." " But the officer was arresting you for something and not nothing." The prisoner somewhat equivocated, but insisted on not having done anything to i'dr. Stephenson. Frank" Morris desired to say that he was innocent. Ile said he was merely walking with his brother 'when the officer, whom he did not know, came up - to arrest him. Re had been away two years, and had just got back last'night. The parties were com mitted, George in default of $2,000 and Frank $l,OOO hail to answer at court. Robbery on the Cars. Franl Costello, whose photograph has been placed in the detectives' gallery, was arraigned at the Cen tral Station on the charge of robbing Mr. Alfred Fit ler of a gold watch and chain, valued at $365. 'The robbery took place on the evening of July 3d, on one of the passenger cars. Detectives Taggerc and Levy have been on the qui vine for Costello ever since. They succeeded in arresting him yesterday.- Mr. Fitler, who is rather hard of bearing, testi fied that on the evening of July 3d, he took passage in a oar at Fifth and Chestnut streets, to go home ; he resides in the vicinity of Second and Poplar; the defendant was already in the car , ; at Market street another fellow got in, who seemed to be acquainted with him ; at Fifth and ;Race streets an officer and a lady got in the car, and the defendant, who had a seatinside; arose and gave it to the lady, and came outside and stood close to me on the hind platform.; we were all , talking about the news free). Gettys burg ; I was robbed somewhere between Callowhill street and Green, but I did not miss my watch until I reached home ; , I am satisfied the defendant is the man who stole my watch, or else it must have been his ghost. d " Why o you think soh" inquired the magistate. "I will tell you," replied the witness, pleasantly. "While on the platform I carried my hat under my z. ' , arm. 'One of the men said to me ',Sir, you have dropped your hat.'" ' Woolly, I have not," replied the witness ; "I • , InfVe it here. Ass . I turned to reply to,the individual who hail thus accosted me, the defendant, I rernem; ber, got closer, if possible, but I did not even dream my watch was taken. When I discovered my loss, at home, I remembered the circumstance, and am almost as certain this man took it as though I had seen him do co.,' "You are sure he la the person 7" "Yes, sir ; I have no doubt about that fast." " When did they leave the earl" "Shortly atter the man Said I had dropped my bat. Three got off the car and went away to gether." The prisoner denied the charge, and said that he could prove he we not on the car at the time speci fied. The defendant was committed in default of $l,OOO bait to answer at court. [Before Mr. Alderman McMullin.] Disorderl y House. Thomas and Emma Holland were arraigned yes terday on the charge of keeping a disorderly house on Dock street. This place was the scene of a great disturbance a day or two since, that required the attention of the police, who made a couple of ar rests. Mr: and Mrs. Rolland were held to bail to answer at court. A Trio in Trouble. - Mary Hughes, Mary Johnson, and Bridget Han ley were commit tedted by Alderman McMullin to an swer the charge of the },larceny of a watch, taken from an individual who made his appearance on Bedford street on Thursday night.

Charles Wallace and George Williams were put on trial, yesterday, charged with passing an altered ten•dollar treasury note. From the evidence, it an• pears that one of the defendants Went into ;a dry goods establishment in Pdanayunk, and purchased some muslin, for which he offered in payment a ten dollar treasury note which, it was discovered, had been altered from a onedollar note. Both parties were arrested in the neighborhood, and near where they had been standisg.a roll of altered notes was discovered. It was also in evidence that one of the defendants had passed an altered note purporting to be a fifty.dollar treasury note on a tavern•keeper in the neighborbbod.
