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

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.

The Stobhiuo oi Missionary Ridoe.— I There
i» much diioussion among the aoldiera as to which
brigade was the first to plant its flag on the heights
of Missionary Ridge. 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.

pushed, heedless of the fallen dead or wounded
until the colors of our gosd old regiment were plant

How Gen. 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. Horace James,
chaplain.— Evening Post.

The Knoxville Situation.— The acoount of the
storming of. Fort Saunders, by picked regiments,
under LoDgstreet, reminds one of incidents in the
wars of the Netherlands—Buch fearless daring in
attack, such audacious contempt of death, has rarely
been recorded in the history of modern wars.

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. Wilber.

46 men Ist Connecticut Cavalry, Lieut. C. B.
Dyer. • •
122 men 2d New York Yeteran Cavalry, Captain
Franklin.
Also,, several officers belonging to different regi
ments.
Fair.— The ladies oi the Penn Relief
Association have given another proof of successful
energy in their benevolent scheme, by the fair which
they are now holding at their rooms, northeast
corner Broad and Spring G-arden streets, the pro
ceeds of whioh will be applied to thegreatobjeot
of the association, viz: the relief of our sick and
wounded soldiers. Our benevolent and liberal-dis
posed citizens will there find an attractive display of
beautiful objects in virtue and art, which will cer
tainly repay a visit. the attendance will
be large, as these ladies deserve a generous en-.
couragement in their unselfish and benevolent efforts
"in a good oause. Contributions to the fair will be
gratefully received at their rooms as above.
Bible Society.— : The Philadelphia Bible

ning, at Concert Hall. The report was read, show

Gotjgh’s Lecture.— John B. Gough’s
new lecture, “Peculiar People,” will be delivered this
evening at the Academy of Music. There has been an
unusual demand for tickets to allparts of the house,
and the immense auditorum will doubtless be BUed
to overflowing. An interesting feature of the eve
ning will be the presence of about six hundred con
valescent soldiers. A few tickets are still for sale
at Martien’s, 606 Chestnut street.
Jersey Shore, Pine Creek, and State

the most important links of railroad improvements
in the whole country.

Post-Office Rob bery-Heartiess Affair.
Charles Young, a letts.'r-oarrier ln the Philadelphia
Post Office, was arraigned. *or a Anal nearing yester
day afternoon. He M» right to waive any
further. investigation by adult*;—? Ms guilt. 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. -

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»,

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

amendments to the Currency Law. Some of these amend
ments are as follows: . l ,
First. That no National Banks shall be allowed to com
mence business with lets capital paid in than fifty thou
sand dollars.
Second. That the rate of interest to be charged by Na
tional Banfes shall be uniform, and seven per cent.'.
Third. That the penalty foruBurybo- the forfeiture of
all interest only, instead of the forfeiture of the ’whole.
debt, as under the laws of New York. . ? . !
Fourth. That the banks of the seaboard cities be, un
der suitable restrictions, temporarily relieved from the
' operation of all usury laws—so that they may adopt a
sliding scale, as is done by the Bank of England, and
may be enabled to exercise an-influence on ihe expoita

The ship Scotia, of Baltimore, cammanded by Captain
J Miskelly ever since she was built, was sold on Satur
day last to parties in New York. The 8. was built in
Baltimore in 1839, and has since been constantly engaged
in the trade with-Europe, having made a greater num
ber of voyages across the Atlantic than another ship of
her age. During her career of twenty-five years she
never lost a spar or Ball, and met with but two accidents,
the last of which, a collision in the British channel, ren-'
dering it necessary for her to go to Liverpool forre
pairs.
