&j|t- Jjnss. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, ,1863, flag presentation to A. <*• Cattell, Esq. A presentation of » peculiarly interesting character , on Tuesday afternoon at the residence of Alexander G. Oattell, Esq., Merohautville, four miles beyond Camden, on the part of the members of the Corn Exchange Association. It eannot be forgotten, and never ought to be rorgotten, that this Association, at once patriotic, energetic, and weal thy, has raised, equipped, and sent to the field, In de fence olthe Enion, two fine regiments. Mr. Oattell was Chairman of the Committee to whom were entrusted the details of this loyal organization. Each regiment was in camp in this olty while being prepared for -duty, and the immortal "stars and stripes ” floated proudly over their tents from a lofty flag-staff, ** To equal which. the tallest pine. Hewn oil Norwegian Mil* to be the mast ■Of eottO great worelmt a wand.” This flag-staff, removed from the place of meat, Mi erected in the lawn m front of thO< <Jls . residence of Mr. G’attell, wne the objoot of re ,enta. tion accompanied by a splendid flag, 'about 25 feet by 18. Flag and staff are what is oall.ed “fall gsrrl *on site,” end can he seen from a considerable dis tance, on the Hat-land of “ the Jerseys,” The cost was defrayed by a select few belonging to the Cora Exchange—the difllculty being to limit the number and the eubsorinV.on; and the design being to give Mjv.Oattell a permanent and patriotic me morial of his great services to the Union. At half past two on Tuesday afternoon a party of between thirty and forty gentlemen, nearly all belonging to the Corn Exchange, arrived at Mr. Oattell’B real dence, marshalled by Samuel If. Ward, Esq., trea surer of the Corn Exchange Association. They had been preceded by Beck's Philadelphia Brass Band, whioh “ did discourse most excellent music,” at in tervals during the afternoon. At three o’elook, a goodly company, including se veral of the fairer sex, assembled before the house to witness the hauling up offheflag, which was done in a minute or so, followed by hearty cheers, the band playing the (‘Star-Spangled Banner.” Thiß done,'Joseph W. Miller, Esq., addressed the com pany to the effect thatafter performing the agreeable duty of raising the flag of the Union to the summit of the pole which lifted, Its height to the heavens, they would now have the pleasure of witnessing the presentation, which Henry Budd, Esq., had been de puted to npake. - Mr, Budd then came forward, and spoke as fol lows-: Alexander G. Oattell, Esq. Sir : The ohangea ever marking human cventß are continuously surround* Ing man with varied and unexpected oiroumstanoes: and as the individual conducts himself in neiv and responsible positions, so will the world estimate hie integrity and capacity. The hallowed calm of peace ful life, its joy-awakening morn, busy noontide, and reflective eve, oharmlng the soul to grateful ac knowledgment, Is nature’s primal gift to man. In this holy state, the career of any person affords but little attraction for special notice. The universal pursuit of happiness alone demands the efforts of every one , hut eminently deserving would be he, the foremost in the promotion of this great object. We are living, sir, In times less barren in oppor tunities for virtuous distinction. Rebellion rages amid the fairest portion of our broad and lovely country. Rejecting the tenders of brotherly affec tion : indifferent to the slaughter of millions of human belngß, each of whom is the centre of a circle of loving, mourning, suffering friends and relatives; callous to the horrors, and unspeakably shocking demoralization pervading almost every sphere of sooiety: offering no good return for air this evil, hut,' prompted by the foulest ambition that ever polluted the .human heart; foreshowing a des potic tyranny for the oppression of its forced and deluded victims; the wretched plotters, dema .w-iiss. ami landers ill thl! trfimeaitoua CUtfSge UB6H Immunity, juiTiDg tnrtu van mm™ vf ttwi Sie hurling their seif-lies tractive malice against the General Governmentand. Ijm, leaving, to the pa triots of the land no choice but this: to be van quished and. enslaved, or to crush this rebellious usurpation of power, and be forever free. When this sad day lowered upon us, we had reoourse to the last fatal argument of civilized man. • 'And may God forgive and protect us in this extre mity ! > The nation flew to arms; In torrents rolled the legions of the Republic, destined to overwhelm rebellion. An organization of merchants and traders of Philadelphia, uuseverod by political creeds unknown to political fame, offered their ser vice to aid the General Government, and placed, at different periods, at least two regiments of soldiers in the Reid. The labor of this achievement—the greater for being unskilled—devolved upon a com mittee of gentlemen. Of this committee, air, you were created chairman, and in that position all public accord is loud In pronouncing that your every duty was nobly and faithfully accomplished. The concentration of All that ithis people held dear to them—tfceir guiding atary theirCoasiitution. and laws, their freedom and power—waa expressed in the flag of their country. It had fosteted their birth, sheltered and prospered their manhood, and they were williDg to trust Its protection in the darkest . adversity. - Beneath its glorious folds, glanoing in the sun’s bright rays, or streaming to the tempest’s roar, the heart swelled with Inspiration, and freedom’s burn ing emotions ohoked the utterance of the voice, and moistened the eyes with tears of patriotism. Tour aympathtes are too well known, sir, to suppose you Indifferent to the sentiments with which this visit is made to you. The staff, lifting Its majestic sum mit far Into the ether above us, which, with loyal hearts, assured of your love ot country, has been transplanted to your own grounds, has borne the emblem of our country’s greatness in the camps where gathered the-troops raised under' the aus pices of these merchants of Philadelphia -, and the sacred flag,whioh now adorns and further conse crates the staff, together have been placed in their present, position, by your Moods and associates in the cause of the union. With mingled feelings of affection for your goodness of heart and integrity of soul— acknowledgment of your service ana devo tion, to your country—they have appointed me, on their behalf, now to present to you these tributes of esteem, not permitting themselves to doubt your acceptance, for they oan offer no worthier gif t. Mr. Oattell; expressed himself very sensible of the honor thus rendered to him—an honor oi which any man might be proud, coming from gentlemen with whom his business relations made him very Intimate. It would be difficult suitably to acknow ledge their kindness. That those who knew him best should deem, him worthy of such a compliment, was a most flattering testimonial. Their kind par tiality had exaggerated any merits of his; but the estimate formed of a man by those with whom he aB soclated dally, would Indicate that, ho wever colored by their friendship, their opinion could not he Wholly wrong. "[Applause.]; He oould scarcely con sider this si mere personal matter. It proceeded from-the fact that the kindness of his associates had placed him in a highly honorable and re-, sponsible situation, when the Corn Exchange Association, at the call or patriotism and duty," resolved to raise, equip, and send into the field, for the defence ot our glorious old flag, at least one re fiment of brave and loyal men. To aid in this was he most gratifying duty of hts life. [Cheers.] He remembered how, one beautiful summer afternoon, he had been lying on the banks of the Schuylkill, after one thousand brave men, who had taken up arms, literally with their lives la their hands, in de fence of liberty and their country. The religious service of the day had been performed, with themen around that very flag-staff which now was raised before him, and the flag so dear to all true hearts proudly waved and fluttered above that gallant ga thering. A few hours later, he was In Philadelphia, and there learned that this very Corn Exchange Re giment—the UBth Pennsylvania Volunteers—was ordered for immediate aotive service, and, before the gray tints of the morning appeared, theirtents were ■truck, their muskets shouldered, and they were ready to carry to the field that glorious flag which soon was baptized in blood at Shepherdstown* [Cheers.] From that, hour the Army of the Poto mac had scarcely fought in any place In which the ' Corn Exchange Regiment had not borne its part in action and In suffering. This (touohing the flag staff) waß the flag-staff around which, on that Bum mer’s day, these gallant men were gathered. He was proud to see It where it now stood, a perpetual memorial of brave men. [Applause.] In what himself had done, be hadpertormed only his duty, and he believed that they had not yet made any sacrifice equal to the occasion, "while national liberty was In Jeopardy, we owed it to our country, and to ourselves, to make all sacrifice for the sacred eauseof liberty. [Cheers.] The present gathering would stimulate many, he knew, to act for the • country’s good, and shrink from no labor, from no saorifloe to maintain It. We should remember what sacrifices the brave soldiers are making on their .- part: we should sustain them by Christian Commis sions and Sanitary Commissions; we should sup port their wives and children, dear to .them, whom they have lef t behind j we should relax no efl’orts to : show our gratitude for their servioes. On this day, especially, when the President calls on all, by his ' proclamation, to return thanks for the. triumphs which Providence has granted to our arms in East Tennessee, tTOd no more by the feet.of oppressors and traitors, we should remember, as we stand under this flag, that It is to Him we are indebted for every -"blessing and mercy which we enjoy. [Applause.] The Intrinsic value of the gift which he (Mr. 0 ) had to day. received from his surrounding friends was not small, hut more valuable to him was the emblem ... - which they had selected, and the form In which they * - -Und chosen to give it. -He could not look without the emblem of his country’* power. In the hour oi trial, it denoted her rights. In the *oldeif time,' the ‘ words, “I am a Roman citizen,” were'sufficient to protect a man in all parts of the world, and, under - our flag, M I am an American citizen,” had . been found equally powerful. Even, in a well-remem • bered instance, where a man had only declared his intention of becoming an American, a deßpot having Elaoed hands upon him, the American flag was raised :> protect him, and it rescued him from peril. 7 (Cheers.] Mr. Cattell concluded his excellent speech with this quotation: . . Stand by the flag, v though dealhshots round it rattle > ' And underneath, its wavinf folds are mes In all the dread array of fiercest battle, The gleaming sword and glistening bayonet, , Stand by the flag! all doubts and treason scorning, Behave with courage firm and faith sublime ‘ ; r - That it shall stand until the eternal morning Re lee in its glories all the lights of Time. ■ : , The ceremony of presentation, acceptance, and re sponse concluded, the company proceeded to partake of*a dejeuner a la fourchette, an elegant and abundant repast, at which the finest wines abounded. Over forty gentlemen partook of this liberal hospitality, and A. Gatty, Esq., president of the Corn Exchange, ‘ occupied the chair, at the special request of the host. .He presided with his well-known tact, good temper, . courtesy, and ahility, prefacing each toast, personal or patriotic, with remarks, always appropriate, and frequently reaching a degree of eloquence not often displayed on such extempore occasions.. He drew out the varied accomplishments of all who sat around him, and the festivities concluded, about 8 o’clock, after song, speech, and story, all-had fkll exercise. During the evening the band played a variety of patriotic and other aire.

Several claim it, and among .spectators of the fight there is an equal variance sof opinion. They all went up. to near together that the'matter is of little importance. Our opinion 'is that"either tvillich’s or Samuel Beatty’s men were first up.- The latter brigade had the hardest place to - take, and marched up amid a perfect storm of leaden ' bail. After getting on the hill they drove the enemy before them down the hill, pouring in a terrific fire . every step. ‘AnrK6TBtJHiWT Called a balkorlomitre hat been 'lnvented by Messrs.

On and onward we pushed, heedless of the fallen dead or wounded until the colors of our gosd old regiment were plant ed on almost the highest pinnacle of Lookout illoun tain. The enemy at length becoming totally de-' moralized, we captured them by hundreds, and our regiment took over six hundred prisoners alone, and the division over two thousand, two pieces of artil lery, and three stand of oolors.

Sherman's and Thomas' forces having been engaged all day, we got up in good time, and by night had completely routed them from their stronghold I and captured them by thousands. We slept in their oamps, and on Thursday moved towards Ringgold, twenty miles In an easterly direction. We captured several hundred of the enemy’s retreating forces, and on Thursday night oaptured four pieces of artillery, and many more prisoners. Friday morning, by 10 o'clock, we arrived at Ringgold, and found the enemy in considerable force bn Taylor's ■ Ridge, named after the celebrated Indian “Chief Tay lor.” Here we had a severe engagement, and our division, particularly the Ist brigade, lost terribly.

Grant Deals with Rebel Symps- tUizers. The following order of Gen. Grant shows hiß way of dealing with rebels and rebel sympathizers: Headquarters Military Div. ow the Miss., : in the Field, Chattanooga, Tenn , Nov. 6,1663. General Orders, No. 4,— The habit of raiding -parties of rebel cavalry visiting towns, villages and Jaime where there are no Federal forces, and pil laging Union families, having become prevalent, do- DMtment BonnnaaiSsrs wi'i immediate steps to aoate tns btHi vruieiw twr iwra r '* a - Upon Secessionists and Secession sympathizers of theneighborhood where such acts are committed. For every act of violence to the person of an unarmed Union citizen, a Secessionist will be arrested and held as hostage for the delivery of the offender. For every dollar’s worth of property taken from such, citizens or destroyed by raiders, an assessment will -be made upon Secessionists of the neighborhood and collected by the nearest military forces, under, the supervision • of the commander thereof, and the amount thus collected paid over to the sufferers. When such assessments cannot be collected in mo ney* property useful to the Government may be taken at a fair valuation, and the amount paid in money by adisbursingoffioeroftneGovernment who will take suoh property up on his returns. Wealthy Secession citizens will be assessed in money and provisions for the support of Union refugees who. have been and may b 9 driven from their homes and into our lines by the acts of those with whom such Secession citizens are in sympathy. All collections and payments under this order will be through dis bursing officers ofthe Government, whose accounts must show all money and property reoeived under it, and how disposed of. By order Of Major General U. S. GRANT. T. S. Bowers, Assistant Adjutant General. THE SITUATION AT CHATTANOOGA. Washington, Deo. 8 —According to the latest official advices from Chattanooga, the work of per fecting the lines of communication of Gen. Grant’s army, by repairing tbe railroad from Bridgeport, and increasing the steamboat facilities, is being pushed forward with great energy. The railroad, however, to Chattanooga is not expected to be in running order for weeks. The troops are receiving their muoh-needed outfits of clothing and blankets for the winter. Gen. Elliott now commands the ca valry corps of the Department of the Cumberland.— Trimtne. . GEN.' SHERMAN IN COMMAND OE EAST TENNESSEE. Upon marching from Chattanooga Gen. Sherman was placed in command of all the Union forces in East Tennessee, by order of Major General Grant. Theorder has been approved by the War Depart ment. Gen. Sherman’s headquarters will be at Knoxville. Gen. Foster will retain command ofthe troops whioh were in East Tennessee previous to the arrival of Gen. Sherman. -Gen. Hurlbut will probably succeed the latter in command of the'De partment of East Tennessee. BRAGG’S LOSSES. The extent to which Bragg has suffered—the com pleteness of the rout—may be inferred from a few figures. After Longstreet left, and Buckner rejoined him, Bragg had probably 35,000 men. This force, after Lookout Mountain was taken, he concentrated on and < about Missionary Ridge. We have in our hands 6,000 prisoners; his killed and wounded are at least 4,000$ the stragglers'cannot be less than 5,000 making his loss substantially 15,000, beside nearly or quite 50 pieces of artillery. Prisoners say that the Tennesseans are all determined not to return to Georgia, but to desert whenever they can. From what the prisoners say, I have put the number of stragglers at too low a figure, as I believe I have the kflletT and wounded; In fact, Bragg’s remaining forces arc little else than stragglers. To all intents and purposes, as lomethingon which the Confederacy may depend, either for offensive or defensive opera tions, this great army of Bragg, from which so much was promised—the army that Davis so recently re baptised and consecrated,'and. bade repossess Ten neesee'&nd Kentucky, is virtually wiped out—gone! ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Charges Against General Humphreys. A pamphlet containing charges and specifications preferred against Brig. Gen. A. A. Humphreys, formerly commanding 3d Division, sth Corps, Army of the Potomac, .and now chief of staff to Gen.. Meade, by Jaoob G. Frick, colonel of the 129th Pennsylvania Volunteers, has been distributed among the members of the Senate. The charges were made April 14,1863, and are, “ uttering disloyal and treasonable sentiments,” “violation of fifth ■article of war,” ”conduct Buoversiveof good order and military discipline, and tending to mutiny and sedition;” “tyrannical conduct, and conduct unbe coming an officer and a gentleman,” and “ drunken ness.” It is alleged that these charges were at the time suppressed, and that copies were subsequently forwarded to the President, Gen. Halleck, and Col. Holt, Judge Advocate General. The object now is to provoke inquiry. . # As a specimen of the charges, we give the specifi cation of the first charge: ‘ In this, that he, Brigadier General A. A. Hum phreys, commanding, etc., did say, MBy G—d I I wish some one would ask the army to follow him (meaning Major General McClellan) to Washington, and hurl the whole d—d pack into the Potomao, and place General McClellan at the head oi affairs. I believe the army would willingly go.” This at camp near Warrenton, on or about the 10th day of November, A, D; 1862. A NEW COMMANDER. Says the Providence Post ; We have reason to believe that it is the intention ofthe President to look beyond the army lor a com mander ; and if thiß is the fact, we aßk leave to name the right man for the place. Give the Army of the Potomac to William Sprague, and in ninety days, mud or no mud, he will plant the stars and stripes in Richmond. He is a military ; man by instinct. He can do twenty things at once, and do them well, and do them quicker than lightning. A lazy man cannot breathe easy within thirty miles of him—a sneak could not breathe at all within rifle-shot of his camp—and a blustering brow-beater or fawning parasite could m£ke no more impression upon him than a woodpecker could make upon BunkerljUli * —Wo would make old mother earth ache and scream under m nil Army, and all Virginia would realize that the devil was to pay before he had been ten days in tho saddle. * * • But we know what we are' talking when we say that if a civilian is to command the Army of the Potomao, William Sprague is the right man for the ■ place, i He can do things. And he will do things, when he tries, no m&tto».wHa -doA*n’fc]jke'it* Ha has »*«_ nius, and will, and energy, and piuott.-~00,-ivtT. Lin coln, if you are going to take an outsider for com m ander of the Potomac army, take William Sprague, already a brigadier general for gallantry in the first battle of the war, and charge future disasters to our account. Gen, Butler on Colored Troops, On the sth instant General Butler issued an im portant order, providing for the enlistment of co lored of their families, in the Department of snd North Caroling. The recruitment of colored troops, s*ys General Butler, has become the settled policy of thd Government, and he declares it to be the, duty of every officer and soldier to .aid in carrying out that purpose by every proper means, irrespective of personal predi lection. He adds: ( * To do this efibotually the former condition of the blaeks, their change of relation, the new rights ac quired by them, the new obligations Imposed upon them, the duty of the Government to them, thegreat stake they have in the war, and the claims their ignorance and the helplessness of their women and children ifiake upon each of us who hold a higher grade in social and pdUtloal life, must aU be care fully considered. “It will also be taken into account that the co lored soldiers have none of the machinery of 1 Stats aid’for the support of their-families while fighting our battles, so liberally provided for the white sol diers, nor the generous bounties given by the State and-National Governments In the loyal States— although this last la far more than compensated to the black man ky thegrSat boon awarded to him, the result of the war-freedom for himself and his race forever.” It ia therefore ordered, that hereafter every abie bodled colored man who shall enlist in General But ler’s department ;sball be paid a bounty of ten dol lars, and that while he remain* in the service hi& family shall be furnished suitable subsistence, under the direction of & superintendent of negro affairs; that every negro have the same uni form, clothing, arms, equipments, camp equipage, rations, medical and hospital treatment, as are fur nished to the United States soldiers of a like arm of the service, unless, upon request, some modification thereof shall be granted from these headquarters; that the pay of negro troops Bhall be ten dollars a month, but non-commissioned' officers'shall receive the same addition to their pay as others of similar rank. General Butler remarks, in this connection: “ It is, however, hoped and believed by the Com manding General that Congress, ab an act of justice, will increase the pay of the colored troops to a uniform rate with ether troops of the United States. He can see no reason why a colored soldier should be asked to fight upon less pay than any other. The colored man fills an equal, space in the ranks, while he lives, and an equal grave when he falls.” .Cffioera are forbidden to employ abte-bodie i ne groes a® servants— except mechanics and skilled laborers—for the reasons thus set forth in the order: /“The best use during the war for an able-bodied colored man, as well for himself as the country, is •to be a soldier; it is therefore further ordered: That no colored man, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, who oan pass the surgeon's examination for a soldier, shall be employed on-land by any per* son in behalf of the Government—(meohanlos and skilled laborers alone exoepted.) And it shsll be the duty of eaoh officer, or other person employing colored labor in this department, to be paid by or on ftffcaKof the to oaui? labprw to op’ .xamined by the .urgeon* detailed to examine r ioi ed recruits, who shall furniah the' laborer with a certificate of disability or ability, as the case may be, and alter the Ist day of January next no employ ment rolls of colored laborers will be certified or paased at theae headquarters wherein this order has not been complied with, and are not vouched for by snob certificate of disability of the employee*.” ; The order continue*: ; “ The theory upon whioh negroes are received into the Union line* and employed, either at laborers or soldiers, is, that every negro able to work, who leave* the rebel line*, diminishes by so muoh the producing power of the rebellion to supply itself with food and labor necessary to be done outside of military operations to sustain its armies, and the United States thereby gains either a soldier or a' producer., Women aDd children are received be cause it would be manifestly iniquitous and unjust to take the husband and father and leave the wife and ohild to ill treatment and starvation. . Women and obitdren are also received when unaccompanied by the husband and father, because tbe negro has the domestic affections in as strong a degree as the white man; and however far South his master may drive him, he will, sooner or 'later, return to his family.” In order to carry out these and other provisions of the order, Lieut, Gol. J, B. Kinsman is appointed General Superintendent of Negro Affairs; while all the territory of Virginia south of the James river is placed under the superintendence of .Captain Or lando Brown, assistant quartermaster *, all the ter ritory north of James river, under the superintend ence of Captain Charles B, Wilder, assistant quar termaster $ and the district of North Carolina un der the superintendence of Kev.

WIND. 5E.......N W.«...NbyE W NW... ..NW A Junioe State Guard.—We are grati fied to learn that the young men of the Fifteenth ward, under twenty-one years of age, are about to commence a military organization in this city, which will exercise a powerful and salutary in fluence in raising troops for the defence of the Union- It is well known that this ward is one of the most patriotic in the city, and possesses means for the advancement of a public undertaking unsur passed by any in Philadelphia,. The boys, rivaling the energy.and devotion of their fathers, have re solved to commence the formation of a State Guard, which shall not only be a school for the education of soldiers, but which shall prove a substantial means of defending the State against any invasion of a foreign or domestic foe, as well as the sup pression of any internal insurrection. It is expected that similar organizations will be started in every ward ofthe city, and a brigade,, or perhaps a full division of the Junior State Guard will be formed during the present winter. The first meeting.of the “ Guard ” will beheld at the “Head quarters ” of the Fifteenth ward, in Coates street, above Nineteenth, .to morrow evening. General Small has undertaken the organization and instruc tion of the body, and will be assisted by a number of influential military men, who have not only seen service, but have reoeived honorable wounds in the defence of the Constitution and the Union. A Deserter Falls and Breaks his Lbgs.—A deserter,' named Edward Dunlap, who en tered the army as a substitute under the assumed, name of Henry Martin* fell from the third-story window of the heaGQuarterß of rroTaec marshal Stretch* at Randolph and Brown streets, at »a early hour yesterday morning, and received com* pound fractures of both his legs. It Is said this fel low had deserted quite a number of times, then re enlisted under fictitious names, and received the bounty money in every case. Although a very strict watch is kept upon individuals such as these, yet every now and then some one of them effects an escape. Dunlap, in his last enlistment as a substitute, was sent to the 162 d New York Regiment, from which he deserted. In his attempt to escape, about two o’clock yesterday morning, he fell from the window, and received such injuries as to render him unfit for any service, at least for Borne time to come. He was removed to the barracks at Fifth and Buttonwood streets, and will probably be seat back to the regi ment as soon as he recovers sufficiently to autho rize transportation. Passed Through. following squads of soldiers passed through the oity last evening, and were handsomely entertained at the Cooper-shop Refreshment Saloon: \ 68 men of the Ist Massachusetts Heavy Artillery, under .the command of Otis S.

There are two points In this case, er< degree of heartleesnee* that does not seem fc*' uave its parallel in the police history of Philadelphia, °“e ■ hundred •and fifty letters, that had been purloin Qd by the de fendant, were found in his trunk at hi.? residence, near Fourth and Brown streets. Among ftiese docu ments were two worthy of especial, nonce. One of them contained a look of hair of a deceased babe. Thit'little token of maternal remembrance, love, and affection on the part of a devoted wife, was sent to her husband, who was, and still is, in the Army, of the Potomac. The babe was his pet;.it was just learning to lißp the name of father when he buokled on his amor, and went forth to fight the battles of the Union* to maintain , peace, which the thieving letter-carrter was enjoying in common with the great - community of Philadelphia. The other letter gave-the particulars of a soldier’s death. It was directed to his wife who, up to the present time, may not know that she is a widow. This letter contained a likeness of the; deceased soldier, taken by.a photographist in oamp. , The cir cumstances attending the death of the gallant hero neither this nor the other letter* seemed to possess were couched: in touchingly pathetio strains: yet power enough to strike a spark of sympathy in the in durated bosom of the thieving carrier. This likeness may hang over him in his gloomy cell, and trouble him as though it were a nightmare 5 the little look of hair may trouble him in his hours 'of confinement as a spectral. The penalty of the law is ten years for stealing a poit*ofilce letter. Enough stolen- let ters were found in hi* possession to entitle him, under the law, to an incarceration of fifteen hundred years. - [Before Mr. Udermaa Beltler. ]. llather » Mysterious Case.

The witness overheard defendant and companion talking about getting the old lady's money. : The defendant put up at the Allegheny House. His trunk was searched, and a pawn-ticket was found for gold sleeve buttons, pawned at the shop corner of Third and Spruce streets. These articles were recovered, but were not identified by Mrs. Yigst. Mrs. Y. testified that defendant went away without paying his board; he said he was going to New York, and would return in a week and pay hia bill 5 he has not fyet paid me for his board* The follow* ing interesting colloquy took place between him ami the magistrate: .

CBefore Mr. Alderman Whits. ] A Case Justly Dismissed. A two years* soldier, of the Army of the Potomac, named Ambrose Ward, broken down in health, and finally discharged because of physical disability, was arrested by a police officer yesterday afternoon, and taken before the Police Magistrate of the Fifth ward, on the charge of misdemeanor. It seems that he has a small stand for the sale of cakes of soap, price ten cents eaoh, which entitles the buyer to some little trinkets. This, of , course, doeß not come under the law against lotteries. The defend ant has a license to peddle such goods as he had for sale. This document was granted by the clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions. * Besides this, he is in the possession not only of a license granted by the United' States Government, but has a .permit from the Chief Commissioner of the Highway De partment, to use part of the street near the Dela ware Market House. All this documentary evidence having been exhibited, the magistrate, promptly dis missed the case. The police offioer, it seems, became rather indig nant, and subsequently threatened the defendant that, if he appeared on the street again with his stand, he would arrest him again, and take him before some other magistrate. The defendant reported this to Alderman 'White, and he, in turn, suggested that he had better call upon Mayor Henry or Chief Buggies at once, who would see that bis rights should not be infringed unon by anybody, police or ciU??g», •. £Bffoxe Mr. Alderman Carter 3 Alleged Professional Thieves. Yesterday morning G-eorge Royster and Joshua Harmer were arraigned on the charge of picking the pocket of Matthias Hick, at a cheap concert saloon on Third street. The sum of money alleged to have been taken amounted to $22. The defendants are regarded as professional thieves. They were com mitted. . : FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THE MONEY MARKET. Philadelphia, Dec. 9, 1863, Matters were much excited over the expected message of the President to-day. Something very favorable and: very weighty, having reference.to the closing of the war, was expected, hnt at the moment of writing the > effect of the message has not been experienced. The ; ' l full pardon ” offered to the rebellious citizens under certain limitations is 'doubtless--'the point alluded to. But whether it will reclaim the wandering eons of the South, and bring down the price of gold remains to be seen. Certain itis that early in day gold fell off to 147, wih free offerings, and at this moment the gold board is experiencing one'?/those awful contests for supremacy in which the bulls and the bears are accus tomed to display their talents, and in which the balls ere getting the best of it.
