The Corn Exchange and the TjE aouk
Island Navv Yard.— The meeting of the Corn Ex
change Awociation yesterday wee the eoene of a
moetagreeable oharaoter. Colonel John W. Forney,
hnd a friend or two, appeared at the meeting. Henry
Budd, Esq., took occasion to aay that the Federal
Government- had given lets favora to Philadelphia
.than she deserved at a great port of entry, and that
.Philadelphia especially desired the location of the
navy yard at League Island. He said that he was
Induced to say this much because he observed on the
floor of the Corn Exchange a distinguished gentle
man, to whom the great public are indebted for the
Intelligence of events at home and abroad at this
momentous period; and being entirely familiar with
the piocess of legislation, and probably aware of the
views entertained by gentlemen in positions affect
ing the locality or the navy yard, this gentleman
coulil now enlighten us upon the prospeot of the
■yard being located, where It ought to be, on League
Island. Gentlemen of the Corn Exchange, allow
me to Introduce to you Mr. John W. Forney.
[Applause.]
After the applause had subsided, Colonel Forney
was oonducted to the rostrum by Mr. Samuel Wit
mer and Edward G. James, and said:
Gentlemen of the Corn Exchange : This Is my
first visit to the Corn Exchange. - 1
when I oame down here this morning, to find suoh a
numerous assemblage of enterprising and wealthy
citizens. -I have been so much absent from Phuadel-
Dhiatbat I had scarcely an opportunity to study and
to know the great institutions which have grown up
aince the beginning of the war. What I had heard
of the gentlemen of the Corn Exchange, aroused my
admiration for-their unostentatious and self-saorl
iloing patriotism. That they had Bent several regi
mented the field, that numbors of their members
were killed and wounded, and that they were
the first to set an example—followed by others—
all this I knew. But, I did not know what a com
plete organization for Internal commeroe you had
begun and fostered. I did not know that here, In
Philadelphia, you had created and consummated an
institution to which all men concerned In the great
est of agricultural pursuits would cluster and con
gregate, and would find the opportunity to change
ana Interchange their views and commodities. I
am, therefore, glad of the ohanoe when I go back to
Washington, (as I shall do to-night,) to say to our
frienda there, that you are as energetic In attending
to your own individual oonoerns as you are seir
saoiiflolng in your well-known attention to the
troubles of your suffering country. I had previously
heard of the munificent benefactors to our common
cause as Mr. Budd, Edward G. James, Charles
Kneoht, Samuel Witmer, A. Getty, James Steel,
Mr. Souder, Jos. W. Miller, Mr. Oattell, Geo. A.
McKlcstry, Samuel Wald, Mr. O’Neill, and others.
But, until now, I had never known that they had
founded what, with the rivalry and spirit I see be
fore me, may re- establish, as it undoubtedly recalls
to my mind the old commercial prosperity of Phila
delphia, and tempt me to hope that the Philadel
phia Com Exchange will, In the short coming fu
ture, rival the Com Exchange of London, before L
iverpool became the British commercial metropolis.
But, gentlemen, why should I talk in this uninvited
way of matters of which I am so entirely ignorant.
I oame here, in company with a personal friend, to
seethe Corn Exohange, and I find that Mr. Budd, in
his kind presentation, refers to my relations to the
Federal Government, and to the prospect of es
tablishing a great navy yard at this port. My rela
tions with the Federal Government are wholly
subordinate; but I think, gentlemen, U you will
read the President's message, you will see that he
has gone out of .the common course, and has en
dorsedthe recommendations of the Secretary of the
Jfavy, in favor of League Island, although, with
characteristic prudence, the President forbears to
mention the place. Mr. Welles deserves the thanks
of our commercial .public for standing up In favor
of a looatlon which was assailed by an interest in
his own State, and Captain Fox, hts able and ac
complished assistant, heroically supported him.
Secret ary Welles,Btoutly assailed upon this and other
grounds, has never better proved his fidelity to the
best interests of the General Government than In his
conductinthis case. Gentlemen, allow me to say thus
much of Secretary Welles, and we of Philadelphia
should especially recognize this, his intrepidity, In
the faoe of the violent assaults which have been made
Upon him on this question. No w, as to League Is
land, Mr. Welles has elaborately, although not ex
plicitly, recommended it, and the President, with
his usual sound judgment, has endorsed It in his last
memorable message Bear with me when I say that
when the Secretary of the Navy, or the Secretary of
War, recommends a naval or military position in his
report, (and I now go back to the old Democratic
and Whig,times,) no reference is ever made to such
recommendation But, when Mr. Lincoln, in this
great, war period, seleots from the report of Mr.
Welles his almost direct recommendation of League
Island ns the greet Navy Yard of the American. Continent,
he shows by this the vast national importance of
ti No'wl' J iet t me say to you frankly, gentlemen of the
Corn Exchange, that you can carry, with these dou
ble recommendations of the Secretary of the Navy
and the President—you can carry League Island as
the position, unless you are divided among your
selves, or unless you send jobbers to “Washington to
represent those patriotic men, which, so true in the
war, and sending so many regiments to the field,
ought now to stand on the solid integrity of the
present argument. For, let me aay to you, gentle
men, that a great cause in the Congress of the united
States is not now helped by money. If you were to
send a committee to Washington armed with an
hundred thousand dollars, the only effect would be
to convince good men that your cause was wrong,
and to induce bad men, who might otherwise sus
tain your projects, to withhold tfe.eir votes in expec
tation of a dirty bribe. Gentlemen of the Corn Ex
change, go to Washington with your committee and
your oause, and abide by the deoision of the Admi
nistration and Government. Form your com
mittee at once, and leave nothing undone to secure
the realtaation of your wishes. 1 thank you again
for the honor you nave done me.
Ah Explanation.—The reason why
there to be some informality in the lighting
or extinguishing of gas-lsmpß in our city may
be attributed to two things. First, the operation is
performed in accordance with a schedule printed in
regard to the changes of the moon. Second, the
heats of the lamp-lighters extend, in some parts of
the city, over a large territory. , Some of these men
have as great a number of lamps linder their respec
tive supervision as ninety. Allowing two minutes
to light or extinguish each lamp, it mußt occupy
three hours to perform the work. If it is done in
less time than this, then the employee may be re
garded as an active man. The pay for attending to ,
the lamps is about one cent eaoh 5 thus it will be ob-
lighter or extinguisher does not make more
than ninety cents per day. A less number of lamps,
aay one-half, would only yield forty-five cents, a sum
entirely too small to induce any one to get out of
bed before the usual time of rising. It seems to us,
and we are but the reflex of the public on this ques
tion, that the lamps ought to b 8 kept lighted from
dusk in the evening until daybreak in the morning,
the same as is customary in New York. What can
be done in New York certainly can be done in Phila
delphia with proper management. The hour before
daylight with no public 'lamps lit, is just about the
time the police are relieved, and thus is afforded a
splendid opportunity for burglars to operate. Seve
ral morning robberies have taken place within the
past week. In one case the footsteps of the perpe
trator were heard, but he escaped in the profound
darkness
We might say in this connection, tbafc an article
fmblished a few days since on this subject appears
obe susceptible of misconstruction. It may seem
to implicate the lamplighters as in colleague with
thieves. This was certainly foreign to the inten
tion of the writer. The general reputation of these
men represent them as poor, honest, and hardwork
ing, and we certainly know nothing to thecoatrary.
It ifemß, however, that in order to meet the de
mands of the great public, these men ought to be in
creased in number, and pay allotted to them suffi
ciently to make the position an object worthy of the
tost and most active attention.
The School of Design.—The Philadel
phia School of De.ign for Women, No. 1334 Chestnut
street, was opened yesterday, it being the third an
nual exhibition of that institution. The .ohooi is
composed of sixty-two scholars and nine teachers.
The course, of instruction pursued in the school
have for their object the systematic training of young
ladies in the praotice or art, and in the knowledge of
its soientiiio principles, with the view of qualifying
them 10 impart to other* a careful art-eduoatlon, and
to develop its application to the common uses of
life, and its relation to the requirements of trade and
manufactures. Quite a number of designs, draw
ings, and paintings, executed by the young ladies be
longing to the school, were on exhibition. Among
the oil paintings was a portrait of Franklin Pierce,
and also one of Millard Fillmore, done by Miss Ool
lsdav, which are worthy of notice. A portrait of
Gen. Winfield Scott, by Mias Wayne, also deserves
particular attention. Altogether, the drawings and
designs are well exeouted, and much credit i. due to
the young ladle, for their handiwork. The exhibi
tion will continue throughout to-day.
Death OB' a Heroic Southwark Boy.—
Intelligence wa« received in Philadelphia yesterday,
of the death of William Copeland, of Company £,
73d Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers. The de
ceased was a son of Police Officer Copeland, of the
Plrst district. At the outbreak of the rebellion he
was a member of the Reed-street Grammar School.
In August, 1861, though only firteen years old, he
enlisted in the 30th Regiment. His company was
transferred to the 73d Regiment. Hefjwas in the
battle of Ball’s Bluff and nine other battles. He
fought his last battle at Missionary Ridge on the
23d, 241 b, and 26th of last month. The regiment
was nearly out of ammunition, and, being sur
rounded by a brigade of Texans, fought desperately
to a man. Out of 16 officers and 280 men, 12 officers
and 208 men were killed. Young Copeland fell a
hero on that bloody field. When General McClel
lan made his first advance in Virginia, our hero was
taken prisoner at Warrenton Junction, but made
his escape from a barn in which he had been placed.
His brief captivity gave him enough of rebeldom,
and he wrote to his father that he never would be
taken prisoner again—that he would sooner die,

posed to the weather while on pioket duty during
the recent movements of General Meade. Private
Miller was two years and four months in the servioe
,of his country, during which time he was not absent
from duty for a single day. He was in every battle

coveted by insurance.
The New National Bank CcitEskci.
—There are three National Banks organized in this
city, with e good prospect of an extensive bualneaa.
The new notea, whioh will soon ocirde into general
uae, will be of the aame' oharaoter in all the State a,
excepting the ncoeaaaiy alterations to suit local
names and numbers. The face of the five-dollar
notes may be briefly described as follows:
At the left-hand corner of the faoe is a vignette re
presenting Columbus sighting land., He is standing
on ahipboaid, and in the act of pointing out the
shore ol (Juana Hani, while a figure, kneeling, is
seen pointing in the same direction, and looking
into the face of the great disooverer. In the imme
diate foreground is another figure, with a cross in
olasped hands, and the face turned heavenwards, in
thanksgiving to the Almighty. The background la
occupied by a priest and other figures, while on the
sail above the word 11 five” is engraved in highly or
namented letters.
The vignette consists of a picture of Columbus
presenting America, in the form of an Indian
maiden, to the Old World, presented by three
figures, representing Europe, Asia, and Afrioa. In
the foliage overhead is the figure five, handsomely
ornamented. , . , , „ .
The border of the faoe is. composed or the word
five, soroil work, consisting of grape leaves and the
figure 6, alternating in panels. The novel pecu
liarity of the border is that no two words, figures,
or scrolls, are exaotiy alike, having been varied pur
posely, so that the counterfeiter may be uuable to imi
tate the note by repeating small portions, as is fre
fluently noticed in spurious money. In order to
Imitate these notes the counterfeiter will find it ne
cessary to engrave the whole with the minutest
nicety.
The legend of the face, or that portion whioh is to
be read, contains the following inscription :

The former inscription will be common to the na
tional bank notes in all the States, while the latter
gives an illustration of the necessary deviation re
quired by local names and numbers.
In the lower margin of the face are found the
words, “Act approved February 25, 1863.” The
spaces beneath each vignette are left vacant for the
signatures of the president and cashier of the bank.
The back of the note displays another beautiful
exhibition of ingenuity and taste.' The principal
vignette is & large oval, extending over the greater
part of the back, reproducing Yanderlin’s famous
picture in the rotunda of the Capitol at Washington,
representing the landing of Columbus. The picture
is printed m black, as are also the legends which
surround it.
The upper legend is as follows:

Letter from Libby Prison.—The fol
lowing letter has been received by the United States
Christian Commission from Lieutenant Wallace F.

of war in Libby Prison. It shows that the stores
sent by the Commission reached the prisoners in

Libby Prison, December 3, 1863.
George H. Stuart, Esq. t President of the Christian Cam-
Deab Sir : Another invoice of goods has arrived,
but as they have not yet been opened I am unable
to speak with certainty as to the condition of the
contents. lam happy to be able to state that your
kind efforts in behalf of the prisoners confined here
have been the means of relieving the sufferings of
officers, many of whom, at the time of the arrival of
the first lot of goods, had not even a shirt, while
others were barefooted. The.friends of the pri
soners, however, hare responded nobly to their ap
peals for aid, and great numbers of boxes arrive by
every boat; so that all, or nearly all, are now com
fortably supplied. A committee of them was ap
pointed to distribute articles at Belle Isle, and the
prisoners confined there are now comparatively com
fortable. Allow me to tender the thanks of the
officers to the Christian Commission of Philadel
phia, and yourself for your unwearied kindness in
our behalf, and believe me,

Meetings to Raise Volunteers. —
Last evening, a very large meeting of the citizens of
the Thirteenth ward was held in the basement of
the Tenth Baptist Church, Eighth street, near Green,
for-the purpose of raising funds to insure a sufficient
number of volunteer, to preclude a draft in the
ward. Mr. John Fry acted as president. Addresses
were delivered by We. S. Nicholson, Eeq., and
others, urging the duty of freely contributing
towardß a general fund, not only that it might aid
volunteering, and thus prevent a draft, but also that
it might have a moral effect in showing the continued
determination of the people to put down rebellion.
The sinking cause of the South would be soon de
prived of Ml vitality if the people of the North
would come together in their primary assemblies,
and each add his individual mite in behalf of the
common cause. .
The quota of volunteers to be raised in the Thir
teenth ward is 150, and it is proposed to offer, in ad
dition to the regular bounties, about $lOO extra, or
more, U the contributions justify it, A committee,
consisting of two from each precinct, was appointed
to carry out the objeets of the meeting, and canvass
the ward for subscriptions. It is likely that, with
effective co-operation on the part of all its citizens,
there will be no drait in the Thirteenth ward.
A number of the citizens of the Sixteenth ward ai
sembled last evening at the Pacific Hall, northwest
corner of Second and Poplar streets, to hold a meet
ing for the purpose of devising means to raiaß the
quota of men necessary to prevent a draft in the
ward. The meeting was oalled to order by the Pre
sident, Mr. A. T. Dickson. It was moved and
seconded that a~Sommittee of four gentlemen from
each precinot be appointed, for the purpose of rais
ing iundsto pay bounties. The motion was unani
mously sustained. A committee of five was tu-un
appointed to meet with the committee, who will
hold a meetiDg this evening, for the purpose of mak
ing arrangements to receive Colonel Balliei’s Hegi
ment, which is expected to arrive in this city at an
early date, and to ascertain from members of that
regiment how many will be willing to re-enlißt as
volunteers from the Sixteenth ward.
On motion of Franklin Dennison, Esq., it was
agreed that the whole matter of raising funds and
distributing the same, should be left to the commit
tee of thirty-three. The meeting then adjourned to
meet again at the cail of that committee.
An enthusiastic meeting to raise volunteers was
also held at Odd Fallows’ Hall, in the Twenty-fourth
ward. Spirit-stirring addresses were delivered, and
the utntost enthusiasm prevailed. The fire of pa
triotism bums brightly in the West-end ward.

-THE POLICE.
Pay- of the Police.
While everybody admits that the‘.pay of the po
lice ought to be advanced) yet there are members of
the City Councils whose voices will be heard no
more in the after next Monday, who are
opposing the measure. There was an advance of
the rate of wages in the Highway Department with
out authority of Councils. There Is to be an ad
vance of salary of school teachers. There has been
an advahce in wages of every department of busi
ness and profession, voluntarily on the part of em
ployers. Then why should not the pay of the po
lice be advanced, even If it be only sufficient to pay
house-rent. The advance asked for by the pro
gressive members of Councils, those who like to
five and let live, would not, in the matter of general
taxation,-be felt by the citizens.
We well remember that the Hon. Richard Vaux,
when elected Mayor of this city, desired to have the
numerical force of the police increased to twelve
hundred men, being about one third more, than at
present employed. Had his idea been adopted, the
expense at the present' time would be one-third
larger than it is. Since that period the oity has be
come larger in its number of buildings, and the in
habitants have greatly increased in|populatton, not
withstanding the number who have joined the army
oi the Union, Yet the police force still remains the
same : the pay is yefc at its lowest grade, and when
ever the subject is broaohed in Councils a certain set
of members make a savage attack upon the king’s
English, and murder it, in their attempt to disparage
the moral aa well as the offioial character of the po
lice officers. Such denunciation of public men is
exactly calculated to impair their efficiency in the
performance of their public duties; it will recoil
upon its authors and outside abettors.
[Before Mr. Alderman Beitler.]
Arrested Ozsce More.
A miserable looking woman was arraigned before
the alderman at the Seventh-street office. She was
the embodiment of ‘‘rum, rags, and ruin. 1 ’ She
had been in the hands of the police on many occa
sions, but she had so altered that the alderman did
not recognize her.
“ Your name,” said the alderman,
“ Nancy Kelly, your honor; yea, nr,Nancy Kelly,"
.he replied.
“Why, Nancy, you have altered gomeßinoeyou
last were here."
“Yea, yer honor; yes, sir; you'd alter, too, yer
honor, If the world used you a* bad as it doe* me,
yer honor."
“ >Que*s you abuse yourseir, Nancy,” replied the
alderman, writing out a vagrant's commitment.
“Divil the bit, yer honor; ye*, sir; may-be Its the
whisky T drink.”
“Then you do drink!"
“jAv comae, I do; don’t I live on It! But its bad
whisky aa they make, yer honor; yes, air, aince the
rebellion."
“Well, Nancy, where do you Bleep these oold
nights!"
“In the stations, to be sure."
“ Have to send you below Tor thirty days."
“ Av eoorse, ye will, but I won’t nave to pay me
own boarding; its a good way, yer honor; yes, sir,
to be supported by the people."' /
Nancy departed in custody of a police officer.
CBefore Mr. Alderman Shoemaker 1
Alleged Rotobery.
Three young men were committed, yesterday, to
answer the-charge of robbing Thomas Holland and
James Pollock, at a drinking house at Cadwal&der
and Master streets. The alleged robbery 1b said to
have taken place on the evening of the 20th instant.
Mr. H., it seems, was relieved of a gold watoh, and
a pocket-book containing $5O, and Mr. P* of a book
having in it the sum of $l7.
Sscape of Prisoners.
George Bazely and George Williams, charged
with burglary, escaped from the prison van, on
Wasbiegton avenue, on Monday, while on the way
to prison. A hole was cut/in the top, through
which one of the prisoners escaped. The driver
gave chase, and during his short absence the other
fellow escaped.
Stealing Photographic Albums.
A colored boy was arrested yesterday morning and
taken to the station-house, on Third street, below
Green, where he was detained for a hearing on the
charge of purloining photographic albums, at the
store of Mr. Reimer. For sometime past albums
have been stolen from the store. Some of them were
valued at $6. It is known that the prisoner sold
them at the low rate of one dollar eaoh. -Persons
who made suoh purchases are desired to call at the
station-house, to do their duty as witnesses, as well
as citizens.
LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
Supreme Court at Nisi Frius—Justice
’ Strong
King et al. vs. Dynd et al., in equity. This is a
bill praying an injunction to restrain the defend*
ants, who are Republicans, and members of Select
Council, together with the clerks of that body, from
calling or recognizing E. Spencer Miller as member
of Select Council from the Twenty-fourth ward.
3he bill sets forth that a committee was appointed
to try the question of the right of Mr. Miller to a
seat in that uhamber, and'-that the report was ad
verse to his claim, but that, instead of treating this
report as a finality, a majority.of themembers disre*
garded it, and continued to. recognize Mr. Miller »b
a member. The bill pTftys that the Republicans, and,
Mr. Catherwood (Democrat), be restrained from any
action which will continue Mr. Miller as a member
from the Twenty-fourth ward, in disregard of the
report of the committee regularly drawn for the pur
pose of deciding the question, the same having been
decided against Mr. Miller by the report of the com*
mittee. -
The matter is fixed fox argument to-morrow.
Court of Quarter Sessions—Judge AJlisoa,
Edward Parker pleaded guilty to a charge of
having committed an assault and battery with in
tent to kill Lewis Albertson. The affair occurred
at “Guy’s,” in Seventh street, about one month
since, and came near being a serious tragedy. Par
ker shot Albertson first, - and immediately after
wards cut him with a knife, taking off, it was al
leged, part of his ear. Sentence was deferred until
Saturday week as to this ease, and also in the oase
m which Mr. Parker had previously pleaded guilty
to having committed an assault and battery on
Jesse Williams. .....
The balance of the session was occupied with the
hearing of assault and battery and trifling larceny
cases, ofno importance or interest.
On Monday next the Supreme Court will meet in
this city for the January term, when it iB expected
the newly-elected Justice (Agnew) will take his
seat. _
The Afvaie at the Park-strebt Methodist
Church. —The following statement of the difficulty
between Mrs. Jacobs end Mack R. Barnitz, which
resulted in such an extraordinary scene in the Park
street Methodist Church, is furnished by informed
parties, and may be regarded "official:”
“ Miss or Mrs Jacobs is not and has not been a
member of that church for more than a year. Some
thing over a year ago she was brought to trial before
the church court on charges preferred, not by Mr.
Barnitz. but by an old and highly esteemed official
member of the church. She was accused, among
other things, of circulating slanderous reports of
Mr. Bainitz, was found guilty and suspended, since
which time she has not been inside the church until
last Sabbath. She iB not now, and has not been, a
teacher in the Park-street Church Sabbath School.
Sometime since she was a teaoher in the ffiears’
Chapel sabbath School, of whioh Mr. Barnitz was
superintendent, and she was expelled, from the
school by the teachers, and not by Mr. Barnitz’s
action. , , , .
"As to her falling to obtain a hearing, the facts
are, that her attorney drew up a list of charges
against Mr. Barnitz, whioh she sought through a
third party to bring before the churoh. But the
church, having fully heard the case in her trial, and
fully believing these charges to be frivolous and ma
licious, refused to sustain them. _
The following certificate from officers of the
church, famished Mr. Barnitz at the close or the
churoh trial alluded to, will be interesting in this
connection. - .
Cincinnati, Dec. 24,1852.
The undersigned, from the testimony in the case
of the Park-street Church vs. P. E. Jacobs, and
from a knowledge of the. factß in the case, are of
opinion that a case of malicious falsehood and per
sistent slander was clearly made out against Miss
Jacobs, which ought to exclude her from any
Christian church. ‘
Injustice to Brother Barnitz, we desire toßtate
further, that no evidence was adduced on said trial
to prove, nor do we believe that he has been guilty
of, any impropriety of action or conversation in
presence of Miss Jacobs, but that her false and
slanderous reports originated in a depraved heart,
and from the worst motives.
