To the Editor of The Press:
Sia: As the rebel Government has prohibited
(temporarily, It Is to be hoped) the forwarding of
supplies for the benefit of the prisoners at Rioh
mond, it may be well to present a statement of the
number Bnd hind of supplies sent by the, Sanitary
Commission since October S 3, for that purpose. It
will be observed that, although it may not be true
that our brave sufferers,'ih'the language of the rebel
agent, “ will be able to set a table equal to any in
the United States,” still, there can be no doubt that
the contributions of the Sanitary Commission have
proved an immediate relief to those for whom they
were intended. The oath value of the articles in
the annexed table is more than twmty-scvm thousand
dollars.
Very respectfully,
R. M. LEWIS,
General Superintendent.

Foe years our sister cities New York and
Boston have had the advantage of ue in s very im
portant matter —namely, ft provision for the even
ing’s entertainment of oburoh-going, muoio-loving,
Christian people, on that great anniversary, the2sth
of December. In view of and to rectify this want
in our community the board of directors of the
Handel and Haydn society have, at great pecuniary
expense and the devotion of much valuable time
ana labor, determined to bring forth in a manner
never heretofore attempted on Christmas night, as
being peculiarly appropriate, Handel’s great master
piece, The Messiah. ■
We earnestly hope that a generous public will
. promptly and adequately support the society in
their endeavor to supply so great a public want.
We also understand that the society'intend pro
ducing during the season Mendelssohn’s Hymn of
praise and Noronha’s Columbus. This last was pro
duced sixteen years ago by the Philadelphia Sacred
Music Society, when it was so highly appreciated
that it had to be repeated. It may be proper to add
that the society numbers over two hundred of the
best amateur singers of the city, and will be ably
supported by the Germania Orchestra, the society
being conducted by the well-known leader of the
‘ latter, Prof. Carl Sentz. • . . , ,
We refer our readers to the society’s advertise
ment, in another column.
Visit to the Army op the Potomac.—;
Mr. George H. Stuart, president or tlie Christian
Commission, and Mr. Joseph Patterson, treasurer,
"■ returned to the city yesterday, from a visit to the
Army of the Potomao. They were received by the
offloers and soldier* everywhere with great cordi
ality, General Meade tendering them the use of his
own carriage. They report .the army in excellent
Spirit* and good condition. _
The woik of the Christian Commission among the
Soldiers is progressing very favorably, and much
good ie being accomplished. Wherever the-presi
dent and treasurer of the Commission went, the
soldier* pressed around them, thanking them, and
manifesting the greatest interest in the cause ol the.
Commission. We understand that it is the inten
tion of the members of the Commission to avail
themselves of the opportunity offered by the large
contributions recently received, to extend the ope
rations ol the Commission in every portion of the
army. __
Important Arrests.—A party were ar
rested a few days since, on the charge of robbing the
iouse of John O’Neill, at Fifth and Redwood

cused were taken before Alderman KLcPJuUm, who
held them to bail in the sum of $4,600 to await*
further hearing, to take place at 4 ©’clook on next
Saturday afternoon. For several years past quite
a number of dwellings, in different parts of our city,
have been robbed of money, in gold and bank notes.
Houses have been entered through trap-doors and
rear windows, by the use of jimmies; bureaus,
Irunka, and closets, have been ransacked, and
amounts of money, in many instances gold, were
stolen* * vhere are quite a number of instances on
uublio record of mysterious disappearances of
money, satisfactory evidence has ever been
obtained as to persons who have
been thus robbed yrarn are

Almshouse Paupers. —There are several

A Wife who Beats lier Hußband.
A hard-working and industrious German 'had
his wife arraigned before the polioe magistrate of
the Fifth ward yesterday, on the oharge of drunken*
ness, abuse, and assault and battery. She is a pretty
good looking woman, black hair, blaok eyes, and
rosy cheeks, hut while under the malign influence
Of alcoholic and lager-beer inebriation, anything
eke but an angel. The husband is kind-hearted.
He has borne with her “ sprees*’ until further lor
bearance is entirely out of the question. :•
“ Alderman,” said he, “ my vife gets trunk Bhoost
as Often as effer she blesses; und she booms to mine
shop so trunk dis time as she neffer vas before; und
she spittings at me,* so vild, und den smashes *U
tings mit me; stand in horror at seeing my tings all
smash vot Imake a liffingwid.” • • \ *
“That is certainly veiy bad conduct, on her part,•
replied the alderman.
“ Veil, yen X booms ter mine house, effary ting is
all smash, vat I don’t care so moooh about, dem.
tings, but she smashes all in der shop, vich sthops
me from making mylifllog for herself too, dat ish
vat I put-the most piamc on her, I now coonuto
der law for protection.” .
“ Hid she ever lay violent hands on you t” inquired
the alderman. - . . , . '
“Yell, sir, many dimes she puts her own hants on
me, und Oder tings, too -, she bulls mine hair,
scratches me ven I’m sohleep, kicks der clothes off
der ped, und makes me shifter mit der gold.” ’
“ That is really too bad, these cold nights,” replied
the distinguished magistrate, “ a wife. ought to try
to keep her husband warm.” “Have you anything
to say, madam?’ continued the magistrate.
The wife made no reply, and stood like aßtatue.
“ All I vanta, Aldermens,” said the husband, “is
not to hurt her, but shooit to keep her from hurting
me und my tings vat I work mit at der shop.”
The wife was required to enter hail in the sum of
$6OO to he of future good behavior.

SENTBXCB BOR BURGLARV, ...
William Keating pleaded guilty to a charge of
burglary. - ~
Keating is a man welljknown to the dispensers of
criminal justice. Previous to 18S8 he had frequently
been tried before the oriminal court, for various
offences, from burglary down to larceny, but
had so far escaped conviction. In that year
he was tried before Judge Allison for burglary,
and was convicted. The evidence, however, upon
which he was convioted, not being entirely satis
factory to the Judge, no sentence was imposed, and
Keating was permitted to'go at large on his own re
cognizance. Not long after, however, he was again
arrested on two separate charges of burglary and ar
son. Upon these ne was tried at different times be
fore Judges Allison and Ludlow, and convioted upon
both, the double sentence imposed amounting to ten
years. Of this period Keating served about three
years and nine months, having been pardoned by
the Governor. He had not, it seems, forgotten his
old tricks, and was but a short time after his release
detected in the attempt to commit the burglary of
which he now stands convicted by his own plea.
After a recapitulation of the facta above stated by
Judge Allison, Keating was sentenced to an impri-
Bonment of six years and six months in the Eastern
Penitentiary. m
Chas. Barney and Edwin K. Niles were arraigned
on a charge oi robbery. Barney pleaded guilty, and
Niles not guilty.
The latter waß then placed on trial, when the fol
lowing faetß were developed: On the last night of
Ootober, Barney and Niles stopped at the Mount
Vernon Hotehin this city, registering their names
as from New York. On the night of the 2d of No
vember, they having in the meantime formed the
acquaintance of George Sohrack, a boarder in the
house,he was induced to go to the theatre with one of
them (Barney.) They returned together at about
ceeded up stairs* and Niles went b&cktothe yard.
Upon reaching the upper story, where the bed-rooms
were, Barney requested Schraok to come into Ms
(B room, as he had something to show him, b.
accordingly went in with and while looking at
& revolver which B. exhibited, the latter struck
him four blows on the head with a “billy,” felling
him to the floor. Barney then caught him bytfle
throat, and called for some invisible person to
“ hurry up.” The door opened, and a fluid was
thrown into Schrack’s face, which rendered him in
sensible at once. Upon recovering hit senses, an
hour after, he discovered that he had been robbed of
Deienticu-watcb) and breastpin. „ , . ,

The remarkable epoch treated by Mr. Kirk is full of
grand historical figures, and by his narrative an entirely
new light is thrown on some of the most important events
in Charles’career. .His position as the ** Napoleon of
the Middle Ages” is fully indicated, and the influence
is traced both of his ambition and of his fall upon the
destinies of the principal European States.
The Atlantic Monthly says:
“We have no hesitation in assigning to Mr Kirk’s
most fascinating narrative a place with the great
achievements of genius in the department he has chosen
to filL His advent among historian* will be welcomed
the world over.”
From Dr. R. Shelton Mackenzie:
“The author will take his stand at once among the
great writers of his land and time ” ;

submitted to him relating to the recruiting service in
Pennsylvania, under his call of October-17th, ultimo,
for 30» ,000 men, approved.of jso much thereof as is com
prised under the fo.lowing points:
That the recruitment of volunteers for the various Re
giments, now in the field, will be. conducted according,
lT i for recruiting service in will he
made of officers of Pennsylvania regiments in the field
whose terms of service expire in ISSI To facilitate the
recruitment of quotas, such appointment, of officers In
the field will he made by the Governor, where practica
ble, on the recommendation of duly authorized commit-
cities, boroughs, and townships, to ro-
localitioo.-'Eheserocommendattons
should made but
with due regard to the cter of the psSou4 m9 d;
and his ability to perform the i-njprtantduties*

under thB control of the Governorat such camps or ren

1864, and '-also such volunteers as may have been
mastered into the service of the United States since the
draft, the number so credited to be deducted from their
proportion of the quota assigned the State under recent
call. ” Information regarding the quotas. of counties,

cation to the respective District Provost Marshals-

'IX. To every recruit who is a Veteran Volunteer , as

of $402- and to all ether recruits, not veterans, accepted

pay in-advance and, tn addition, a bounty and premi
um of $302 will he paid.
S&The short time now remaining within which to fill the
quota of the State by.enlistments, and thus avoid the im
pending draft, ad monishes the loyal citizens of the im
portance of providing, by local bounties, the strongest
inducements to volunteers- Municipalities of other
States, by this means, are seducing from Pennsylvania
the able-bodied men who should replenish her own regi
ments. Pennsylvania, with a deficiency less, - propor
tionately, than any adjacent Common wealth, should
show, by her promptness and alacrity.now, her ability
to maintain the high position she has heretofore and
still occupies among her sister States in contributing to
suppress this rebellion. ‘
