Hentz, who died In February, 1866. Among the
female writer! of America, thin lady held a very
high place. She was of New England by birth, of
the South by long reeldence. Highly educated, and
endowcdwlth high intellect, she adorned eaoh de
partment of literature which she touohed. Her
power as a dramatist was considerable, and her
ability as a poet was also great. But It was In
prose fiction that she excelled—we know not how

published eleven from her pen, the aggregate sale of
which has been over 150.000. When she died, there

From the Rev. N. West, 1). D., ohaplain to the
■West Philadelphia Hospital, a history of that ex
cellent institution, from October 8, 1862, to October
S 1808. As might be expected, there is a great deal
Of eulogy In this little narrative—every person and
evety thing there being represented as remarkably
admirable. The plain fact ic, that the Hospital, well
Situated, well constructed, and well conducted, haß
been of great use to the siok and wounded soldiers,
and its organization, minutely described by Dr.
West is exaotly what was required. The Reverend
author, we perceive, gives a liberal and deserved
tribute of approbation to the Sisters of Charity, who
voluntarily give their kind assistance to the sufferers
in the hospital. This little kißtory, brief as It is,
might advantageously be abridged by the omission
of unimportant correspondence about the chapel
and the distribution of reading matter which Dr.
West has dragged in, (pp. 1314 and 17-19) The
aooount of the fitting up of the ohaplain’s room is
amusing, though egotistioal-partioularlyof theglft,
from a lady, of “a large double lounge,” beoause
•Itbe chaplain is a large man,” and his criticism
on a religious publication, (that it is 11 a lovely pa

pages, 12m0., has been neatly printed at the Hos
pital Press.

Lecture on “The- Mission on the
Was," nr Fuederick Douglass.— East evening,
Mr. Frederick Douglass lectured at Concert Hall,
on “The Mission of the War.” The audience was
large, and apparently a very intelligent one. There
was scarcely a seat unoccupied, and not more than
one-tenth of those present were colored persons.
On the platform were two small girls and a boy,
from the free-echools of New Orleans. Their skin
was as white as that of any white children that we
have ever seen. They are the children of a slave
mother, and their father is serving in the rebel
army. Their appearance on the platform created
considerable interest among the audience.
Mr. Douglass was received with much applause.
At the outset of his remarks, he said his object was
to argue not for the black race, or as a friend of the
black race, but as an Abolitionist and a friend of
humanity. He would urge the necessity of this war
beiDg prosecuted against the rebellion entirely
as an Abolition war. He was the advocate of no
peace with the rebellion, except it be an Abolition
J)eace. [Applause.] - His desire was to have the po
itical franchise extended to every colored man, that
there should be this new element in the national so
lidity. He had no new truths to utter; truth was from
everlasting to everlasting, and cannot be driven away.
Such a truth was that fundamental one that all
men are entitled to their liberty. It is with this
truth clearly before us, that we could finish up the
existing war with honor to ourselves.and nation.
He proposed that only by liberty and equality could
we solve the great problem of the war. The pre
sent rebellion was one which flies in the face of
everlasting truth. It is one that proceeds from light,
to darkness, from intelligence to ignorance, and
from civilization to barbarism. Unlike other rebel
lions, it had not the love of liberty to excuse
it. That rebellion, cost what it will to put it
down, last long though it may, must eventually be
conquered for the Bake of humanity and civiliza
tion. The speaker had believed from the beginning
that, if the NorthandSouthshould meet each other
in hostile array, it would be a long war; for liberty
would be oh one side and slavery on the other, and
when slavery and liberty fought each other, the
contest was bloody and long. It has always been
so. The war must go on, however, till it had ended
in the complete overthrow of despotism. The mis
sion of this war was a grand one. Its value is not
for to-day, but for all time. The war will last long,
because the patient has long been suffering from a
great disease.
The nation had yielded so long to pro-slavery com- -
promises that when the nation came Into the hands
of Dr. Buchanan, that old man declared it was too
far gone for medicine. [Daughter and applause ]
In referring to the political parties of the day,
Mr. DouglaßS said that he had nothing to fear from
the Democratic party. That organization had be
come too impotent to do any harm. The real appre
hension was from the Republican party. That party
must present a united force against slavery. So long
as there was slavery there would be a slavery party
’in the North. [Applause.] We are still UDder the
impression that we are fighting for the old Union.
We have not understood the time mission of the
war. We are not fighting for the Union. The
Union was destroyed at Fort Sumpter. We are not
fighting for the old Union or anything analagous to
the old Union. What the North is fighting for and
what the South is fighting for is national unity.
We want unity, unity in sentiment and in idea.
The motto of Mr. Seward, that there was an irre
pressible conflict between freedom was slavery, was
stolen thunder. It was stolen from Calhoun. Now
the South wants a united despotism, we mult have
a united force for freedom. What we of the North
want is a country—a free couatry—nowhere polluted
by the tread of a single slave. [Applause.] Det us
then have an Abolition war, for we can have, in no
other way, a country that we can respect. We want
a country in which there shall be no sectional pride,
and here we will agree with the Copperheads.
[Laughter and applause.] We want a country
where Baptists shall meet Baptists in annual con
vention without the use of bowie-knives. We want
a country in which it will be no longer a crime to
teach a human being how to write the name of the
Almighty God. [Applause.] This war is one of
the greatest blessings that have come to us in the
order of Providence. Our war is destined to improve
us in many respects. It will teach us the great in
justice that has been done to the black race for two
hundred years. Just so far as our Government ap
proaches to justice and humanity, jußt in that pro
portion shall it conquer?
Where the|army is most Abolltionized, there may
we expect most victory, and Europe dare not fight
against us, if we fight in the interest of humanity.
[Applause.] It was not the intention of the Go
vernment that thiß should be an Abolition war, but
there is a Divinity which shapes our eDds rough
hew them as we will. If we are wise this mighty
war will go on, go on in its broad, high, and power
ful course till our nation is saved beyond the neces
sity of being saved again.
Spring C4arden-street M. E. Church.
The new church edifice now building by this congre
gation, at the northwest corner of Spring Garden
and Twentieth streets, is progressing very finely,
workmen being now engaged in putting on the slate
roof, while the stone masons are working at the
completion of the spire. Others are hastening on
the lecture room for ocoupanoy, and we. learn that
the congregation expect to be worshipping in their
newchurch within the next sixty days. The build
log is entirely Trenton brown stone; is to be fur
nished with pews constructed after the style of
tbose in the Washington Square Ohurch, New
York, and will he, it is said, a model of neatness
and convenience. We notice that almost thß entire
square west of the church is already occupied with
first-class residences, all erected by the enterprise
and liberality of Hiram Miller, Esq., whom the citi
zens of this most wonderful portion of Philadelphia
take pride in denominating the “Father of Bush
Hill.” The site occupied by the new ohurch is. one
of the most commanding and beautiful in the oity.

President Lynd In the eh&ir.
During the reading of the journal of the last meet*
log, Mr. Oathebwood objected to that part of the
report of the special commtttee of the Twenty-fourth
v?Ard elcotion case, whioh states “ with resolutions
of censure of the member of Seieot Oounoil from the
Twenty-second- ward, and directing his suspension
from the exercise of his functions as a member of.
Seieot. Council for the period of one year.” He
moved that they be expunged from the journal, as no
words of suoh a oharaoter has ever before appeared
there.
Mr. Miller said he thought the words should re
main as they were, and he would therefore vote
against the motion of Mr. Gatherwood. He also
called for the yeas and nays, which, being taken, the
motion was agreed to.
The further reading of the journal waß dispensed
with.
Communications) dfcc,
The Chats presented a communication from the
Board of School Controllers, which was referred.
Mr. Wbthbrill presented one from the trustees
of the Ist City Troop, asking Councils to grade »Ash
and Ashton streets in the Ninth ward.
On leave, he also offered a resolution authorizing
the grading of those streets, which was agreed to.
The Chair also presented a communieation from
the members of the Keystone Battery, asking that
an ordinance be passed to pay them the city boun
ty, which they have not as yet reecivcd. Deferred.
A message was then read from the Mayor stating
that he could not sign the ordinance appropriating
money for the payment of bounties to volunteers,
to be credited against the approaehing draft in Ja
nuary. He made objections to several of the sec
tions, and also stated that the bounty should be
distributed according to the ordinance enacted in
July, 1862,
A vote being taken,the veto of the Mayor was
sustained,
Mr. Miller then on leave offered an ordinanoe
appropriating the Bum of $1,260,000 for the purpose
of paying a bounty of $250 to all persons enlisting
under the recent call of the President in October
last, for the period of three years, and who will be
credited to this city against the coming draft. It
authorizes the Mayor to draw warrants for the pay
ment of the said sum.
Mr. Brightly moved to strike out the second
section, and insert, that a committee of five citizeas,
outside of Councils, and not holding office under the
city government, be appointed to verify and examine
the payment of the bounty, and to adjust ail claims
that may arise, The section, as amended, was
agreed to.
The third section of the bill was amended, and
two other eeotions added, and the ordinanoe then
passed.

struction to the Committee on Finanoe, to report a
loan bill for $1,250,000, for the purpose Qf paying the

postponed for the present, aid the Chamber prooeed
to take up the bill from Common Council in rela
tion to the tax rate for 1864, which was agreed to.
Mr. Davis moved to amend the seotion fixing the
tax rate at $2, and insert $2.50,
Mr. Kino objected to the amendment. He thought
$2 on the $lOO was sufficient to cover expenses.
Mr, Catherwood thought we should come for
ward and fix the tax rate at $2.60, and there will be
less deficiency bills to pay next year.
Mr. Brightly said we have not the power to
make this rate $2 50. It must remain at $2 We
have not the ability to alter it. It may pass this
chamber, but it cannot paBB the other.
Mr. Wbtherill said that we will owe $700,000
interest on the Ist of January, 1864, which will
make the total amount due $2,024,000. After re
ceipts are deducted, it will still leave u* short
$500,000 on that day. We have passed many extra
appropriations during the paßt year. He preferred
that the act of Assembly Bhould fix the rAte.
The amendment was not agreed to, and the sec
tion fixing the rate at $2 passed.
The remaining sections were also agreed to.
On motion, the suspension of the ruieß was agreed
to, and the bill fell.
The bill from Common Council approving the
sureties of Henry Bumm, City Treasurer elect, was
agreed to. '

discharged from the farther consideration of the
subject.
A resolution was adopted Instructing the City
Commissioners to pay James B. Smith $250 for fur
nishing books to the office of Register of Wills.
Agreed to.
Mr. Baird presented the report of the Finance
Committee, fixing the tax rate for the coming year.
It was adopted without debate, as the act of Assem
bly requires the rate to be fixed at this time, or
otherwise the rate of last year is continued. It will
be seen that the rate Is the same as last year.
The committee state that the total appropriations
for the year 1864 will differ very little in amount
fiom the sums appropriated during the years 1862
and 1863, the excess being the amount paid for inte
rest upon loans created to pay bounties to encourage
enlistments and for the support of families of volun
teers now in the service of the United States. Also,
for the protection and defence of the city, the follow
ing loans were created since the breaking out of the
present unhappy rebellion:
Loan for protection and defence, June 8.1861.. .$1,600,000
Loan to pay bounties to volunteers,'Bept. a 9. ’62. 500. POO
Loan for protection and defence, Sept. 20, 1832. 300,000

Loan reported October 8,1863, for the support of
families of volunteers • 500,000
Appropriation made November to pay
bounties to volunteers 1,000,000
These loans have added much to the public bur
den. Two dollars on the hundred has been the
highest rate of taxeß levied upon our citizens for a
period of seven years (the vear 1861 excepted). No
loans were created during the last two years to pay
any of the current expenses of the city government.
The loans above stated may be properly called war
expenses. The following sums of money were paid
out of the current receipts of the years 1862 and 1863:
Temporary loan created 1861,paid offinlB62-‘63. • $450,000
Permanent loan paid off in 1862 out of general

to be refunded out of a 10an... 18,500
To build wharf at Race street 18,000
45,000
"When the present rate of taxes (two dollars on the
hundred) enabled the City Treasurer to pay seven
hundred and forty-four thousand dollars within the
period above stated, the committee aould see no ne
cessity to increase the present rate, particularly at
this, time. The rate of $2 is, therefore, recom
mended.
Mr. Wodbeet, from the Committee on Highways,
reported a resolution numbering the houses in the
Nineteenth ward, which was agreed to.
Also, an ordinance, appropriating $8175 for gra
ding Green lane, from Frankford road to Branch
town, Twenty-second and Twenty-third wards.
Agreed to.
’ Mr. I.iiir.H offered an ordinance making it unlaw
ful to walk, slide, or skste on the Schuylkill river,
when frozen, between Fairmount Water Works and
the Falls, until the ice shall have become three
inches thick.
. 'Mr, Orebswei-i. thought the passing of suoh an
ordinance puerile and foolish.
Mr. Stoked moved to amend, by making it read
three and a half instead of three inches.
A motion to indefinitely postpone was not agreed
to.
Mr. Painter desired to know when the citizens
were to ascertain how soon the ice shall have at
tained a thickness of three "inches.
Mr. Leigh replied that was explained in the 3d
section. This section requires that “The Park Po
lioe, under the direction of the Mayor, shall carry
out the provisions of the bill.” The penalty of
violation of the ordinance is fixed at $5 per each
time.
The ordinance did not pass, as Council refused to
suspend the rules for the purpose of considering it.
Mr. Maboek offered an ordinance appropriating
4683.20 to the Highway Department to pay certain
deficiency bills, which was agreed to.
Mr. T. F. Adams offered a resolution tendering
the use of Common Council ohamber to the “ Con
servative Union National Committee,” which meets
in this city on the 23d inst. Agreed to.
Mr. Baibd oalled up the ordinance authorizing a
loan of $600,000, payable in thirty years, to provide
for the support of the families of volunteers. Agreed
to.
Mr. Baibd called up the resolution authorizing
the grading of Aspen street, Ninth ward, whioh was
agreed to.
The bill making an appropriation to the Board of
School Controllers was taken up, and Mr. Babgek
moved an amendment to add $4OO, for the purpose
of netr heaters to the Hanoock School, 14th Seolion,
Which was agreed to, and the bill passed.
The bill from Select Council, offering a bounty to
volunteers under the last call of the President, was
concurred in, as well as all the other bills of Select
Council. Adjourned. ,

terday morning, against a man named William
Webb, who was charged with the laroeny of three
ten-dollar notes, the property of Mr. Fitzgibbons.
The jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. There
were four or five witnesses examined, two of whom
testified that at the time ol the alleged robbery Mary
Ann Brown was so entirely drunk that sheWsould
not know anything about the alleged robbery. Three
other witnesses testified that tile money that was in
the possession of. William Webb was handed baok
to the owner of it, Mr. Fitzgibbons.
There is a singularity in this case that seems to
he somewhat mysterious. Mr. Fitzgibbons is a sev
faring man, and Mary Ann Brown keeps a boarding
•house on South Front street, On returning from a
voyage some time aince, he applied for lodgings at
this woman’s house,-but could not be accommodated
for that night. He had entrusted her with money
previously. On this occasion he handed her three

could not be accommodated there,- offered to furnish
him lodgings. This was agreed upon, and Mrs,
Brown, it seems, handed Mr. Webb the three ten

gibbons left the house. Some time onvbe same night
the last-named Individual was found beastly drualt
on the sidewAlk, near Front and Sprcice streets.
He was taken to the station-house. There was no

Webb, charging him with larceny. The case was
heard before Alderman White, who, upon the oath
of a Mr. Smith, bound the accused over to answer
at court.. Mr. Smith was not present at the trial
yesterday. His evidence was the most important,
and said to be material to the Issue. These are
about all the facts, as legally developed. The de
fendants, Mrs. Brown and Mr. Fitzgibbons, were
committed in default of bail, to answer the charge
of perjury.

Alleged Burglar.
William McGonigle waß arraigned, yesterday, on
the charge of being one of the burglars who attempt

in the western part of the city, several weeks since.
The defendant and an aooomplloe, who was arrested

Mott, was committed yesterday to answer the
chaise of the larceny of a wagon and pair of horses
that he had hired at the livery stable on Sixteenth
street, below Walnut. He was arrested ,in the at
tempt to sell the property. It is alleged that he is
tbe same individual who hired a;horse and wagon
from Mr. Van Lear several weeks since, and then
sold the same to another well-known dealer in
horse-flesh. There was originality in the method
adopted to rob Mr. Vau Lear, which was fully pub

that a ball was given, on Wednesday night, in the
vicinity of Twenty-first and Market streets. It is
alleged that the defendants became uproarious, and
finally beat the bar-tender badly. A police offloer
was called in, and the belligerent individuals, not
the least daunted with the blazing star that bedecked
the bosom of the official, made a savage attack upon
him. They got the worst of the contest. After a
bearing, the prisoners were required to enter bail to
answer at court.
