But the question who Is he is second to the question what is lie ? We care not so much to know the name of the man who is to take the sympathies of the united people of these states into ~the hollow of his hand, to mould and educate nit they allow him to, as to know what are the mo tives which actuate him."We do not want a man of sentiment, as the phrase' goes, for we do not need one. • We need, and must have a man of action. We need a man whose sentiments, =ostentatiously set forth, are such as can be consistently acted up to day by day, hour by hour. We want a man the bone and muscle of whose brain are of metallic fibre, and the strings of 'whose heart can be swept by the mighty rushing wind emanating from the genius of the peo ple over whom he presides. We have had sixteen Presidents. We are having our sixteenth now. Of the fifteen whose terms are completed, one-third have served two terms. WASHINGTON, JEFFRRSON, MADI SON, MONROB, and JACKSON enjoyed the honor of being re-elected. For eight years each they governed the United States, and shaped its destinies accordingly, whilst HARRISON and TAYLOR were nipped in the bud of their Presidential power. All the Presidential re.elections occur before we have proceeded half-way down the Presi dential list. Perhaps ABRAHAM_ la - Mow will set the old example, and make it new again. • The only man who thus far has proved himself to the people of the United States equal to the emergencies of the age is ABRAHAM Lincorlc We have a past in his career to look back upon, and trust in. It stands before the present as before a mirror, wherein, it may be, his own premo nitions discern a reflection which shall grow a reality in the future. The, principle of Unionism, at all costs, is the foundation principle which should govern the Presi dent. The nation has passed through years of trouble before now. It had its birth amid calamity—its foster-home was a refuge from persecution. But no trouble compa rable to that which, for the last three years, has devastated it, blackens the track of its history, and we know of no man who could have protected it in its darkest hours with the success crowning the devotedness of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. touisiana. General BANKS' proclamation calling upon the people of Louisiana to elect a Governor and other State officers on the 22d of, next February, is justified by the growing loyalty of the State. The restoration of its civil government begins a new era in the South, and makes plain our power not only to conquer the rebellion by force of arms, but by the force of legislation. The Seces sionists in Louisiana are numerous, but they cannot withstand this movement of the best part of the population. The reinauguration of civil government will be followed by ether important events. On the first Mon day in April delegates will be el to a Convention for the revision oil& State Constitution, and it will not be long before Louisiana will send Representatives to Con gress. The officers chosen on the 22d of Februa ry will,in the forcible language' of the pro clamation, "constitute the civil government of the State, under the Constitution and laws, of Louisiana, except so much of the .aid constitution and laws as recognize re aulate or relate to slavery, which being in consistent with the present condition of public affairs, and plainly inapplicable to any class of persons now existing within its limits, must be suspended, and they are therefore and hereby declared . to be inope.: rative and void." Action upon these laws will doubtless be the great work of the Con -volition, which, in providing for the abolition of slavery, will remove the solitary cause of the troubles of the State. Three years ago the rebels in Louisiana would have laughed at the suggestion that in 1864 Lou isiana would not only • re-enter the Union, but destroy the slave laws, just as in South Carolina and Georgia they laugh now. But we shall soon see Arkansas, Tennessee, and Texas standing aide by side with Louisiana, and all the other States in rebellion will sooner or later rise to an equal position. Texas Again. Texas is coming round. We said this long ago, and we say it again. MAGRUDEn may try and try again, but he will not suc ceed in making Texas a thoroughly dis union State. We could afford to laugh at his endeavors if they were engaged in a less ma lignant cause. QuAriTn.Firs crew have done enough mischief, and MAGRUDER'S . are on a level - with them. What then ? Is Texas lost ? By no means. Our troops possess the State. The military measures of their commanders are rapidly winning the good will of the people. The acres embraced within the state of Texas 'are broad indeed. Wealth swells her breast. The character of the people, heterogeneous as it may be, always turns like the sunflower toward her God, which is the Union, the'difterence between the sun and the Union being that the latter never sets, but always shines with the same refulgence as when he rose. MAGRUDER don't know what to do with himself or with those whom he commands. He hacks and- he hews altogether without reason and without profit. It is not Moscow he is burning when he destroys towns which it is his ultimate interest to preserve intact. In short, he does not know what he is about. He is drawn to fill just such a space in history, and such a space will he fill. Texas will fill a larger space. Texas has been the home of all nations, far and near. Within her borders has been collected a greater diversity of races than any other State that we could name.. The genius of each of these races is concentrated in her, and will construct a ground-plan on which to re erect the structure Of the -Union. " We are by no means alone in oar belief in Texas. Texas was not made so large a State to be of no importance. Whatever she sympathizes in must be a matter of in terest to the Union. She is large, and other States are comparatively tame; She's cliverge in the character of her inhSbitaniti, and other States one-sided in that respect. And the State of Texas, moreover, is a new State compared with many members of the Union. When disarmed of the secession proclivities which lurk within her, her fresh energy. will nerve the Union arm anew, and a bright prospect will dawn upon her. Texas never can be lost to the Union whilst she maintains such a stronghold of Union ism as she now maintains. Treason may lurk in ambush, but we are confident that. Unionism will yet escape all the arrows from the thicket.

The Burning of the Church of the Jesuits. To the Editor of The Press: • Sin: The Press, since its first number, has been a liberal raper. Ita ealumna liave always bean free from sootariftn rirejudiee, and it has ever Sought to unite in ties of benevolence all denominations of Christians. Judge, then, of the surprise and deep regret-that many of your subscribers experienced in reading the editorial in toydsy's issue, entitled as above. The awful calamity . that happened at Santiago on the festival of tie Immaculate Conception (which was celebrated with-imposing ceremonies in this city, and throughout America), stirs the sympathies of our common nature, yet the Whole scope and tendency of, your article is to swallow up all sym pathy for the dead, in abhorrence of "the priests." You articio abounds with sentiments of intenseat enmity to- the Catholic clergy of Santiago. I am aware that you have for Authority the extracts which appear on your first page, and this is the ground of compiAint. • The authors of the accounts on your first page are ignorant, bigoted enemies of the Roman Catholic Church, who are striving to create, out of an awful Visitation of 'Providence, a bitter enmity towards a religion famed for its humanity since the birth of Christianity. A few extracts Will prove this. Rve ry gentleman, no matter what may be his religious belief, respects all forms of worship. Yet these wri ters call the religious cereinonies) of the Catholic Church "perfornianaespin another place " blasphe. my," and the sacred vessels used on the altar in di. vine service "gimcracks." Litten to this truthful writer, who brings the "gospel ";to aid him in Ms irony. Certainly descri bing the untimely death of trig thousand of our fel low.beingsas not a fit occasion for satire: "The Bth of December was a great triumph for the clergy of the Church of the Jesuits, in Santiago. An aliTirererasTio audience filled every nook. There were hardly . any men there, but three thousand wo men, comprising the flower of beauty anti fashion of the capital, were at the feet of the ecclesiastics; very many against the will of fathers and forth husband., but that, of -course , only showed for the pours- and might of the gospel: , The following is taken from your first page : The writer now continues to speak of the cause of the nre, and to whom the blame for the catastrophe is attributable. Re handles the clergy in the most severe manner, and says: The population of San tiago, so supine made° priesbridd.en, are fired with indescribable indignation at the monstrous conduct of the priests. The public conscience holds them guilty or the Beath of all these victims, and particu larly the mountebank Uglirte, the inventor of the Virgin's post Mee imposture (see extract from the " Review of the fornight,") because, by collecting together all the material most likely to produce a fire—a countless number of lights, pasteboard scene ry, and muslin hangings—and admitting : a vastcrowd, crowd, and covering the one door open with a screen, they took every pains to bring about a tragedy. When the fire broke out, and people were escaping by the sacristy, they blocked up this door to devote themselves .the more undisturbediy to saving their gimcracks. The list of things saved makes one's blood run cold. What the priests saved, what they put away in segar shops and the houses in front are, a gilt image,some wooden - saints, a sacred melte or two, some bookie chalices, ailver candle-sticks, and = a great deal of sacred matting and carpet. After saving their trash, these specimens of good zhep herda, who give their lives for their sheep, lied away, in company with the owls and bats that in fested the ancient walls--except that one priest fa voted the agonized victims with his absolution, and 'Lrgarte requested them to the happy, because they went direct to Mary. They then forsook the scene, and in that awful night, when fainting women and desperate men strewed the streets, and writhing forms, that a few hours before were graceful and beautiful maidens, moaned and died in chemists' dope, not apriest Walt to be seen to whisper a Word of Christ's comfort to the dy rag ear, or held the precious crucifix before the glazing eye. No ' not so, for the priest of nature was there—woman, aministering angel in the dark hour, tended and soothed as usuaL One young lady—God bless her—tore up all her under-clothing to make bandages, and bound up the wound+. as only woman „can. Al) this awful night the only thing that re mained of the clergy was the incessant tolling of bells—about the only thing they could do to increase the horrors of the scene. This being the third time that this church hue filled our homes with weeping, all with one voise demand that it shell never be rebuilt ; but the priests, foolishly defiant and despotic as ever, threaten to let off their miserable medimvel pop guys at those they term the sacriligious allenatort of holy ground. Their audacity has even led them to attempt an appeal to violence. They preach that the irreparable loss of so many of the fairest and most virtuous of Child's virgins and matrons is a special mercy and miracle of Mary, who wished to take them at once, without delay, to her bosom. One monster exults openly at that which has stamp ed eternal grief and horror on our hearts, "because Child wanted a supply of saints Jaya martyrs.) , Now, I venture to say that the above is one tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. No candid Christian can read such revolting trash without regretting that so respectable a journal as The Press should, unintentionally, of course, spread the seeds of sectarian hatred by sanctioning the above as true in a leading editorial. Catholic priests need no vindicator wherever they may be found. They are human, and subject to all the failings of our imperfect nature, but, as a body, they must ever challenge the respect and admiration of all good men. They are educated—they volun tarily deprive themselves of all the joys of domestic life. Wherever misery, disease, or death ie, there is the Catholic priest. In the plague-house, or on the battle-field, he is found administering to those in agony, and cheering them with hopes of bliss be pond the grave. . If One of the splendid Protestant churches of our city caught fire during divine service, what would be thought of the Catholic who would attempt to ewe the officiating clergy as an incendiary, or, if a death should occur, would call him a murderer? Yet this is the argument of your leader of to•day. All I ask is please wait for further advice., that will surely prove the falsity of the atatements pub. Haled. . . AMERICAN CATHOLIC.

The Speakers are every Friday evening, and no cards of invitation are issued. Members and offi cers of Congress, and of the Government, their fami lies and friends, and the friends and acquaintances of the Speaker and his family, are the excepted guests. The President's receptions are every other Tuesday evening, and the attendance of all his con stituent, is expected without cards of invitation— limited, or course, to the capacity of the White house, which, however, holds an immense number. The usual hours for these evening reception , are from Syi to II P. M. Mrs. Lincoln has a matinde Saturdays, from Ito 3 P.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 20.—The official report of alisjor Cole, dated Loudoun Height., Va., has been received in this city. Major Cole gives the facts of the recent attempt made by Moseby's battalion of guerilla cavalry to surprise and capture his camp. The affair occurred between three and four o'clock in the morning. They studiously avoided our pick ets, and divided themselves into small bodies, which were speedily consolidated on the right of alLajer Cole's camp. They then made an impetuous charge, with a yen, on the right of the camp. In consequence of the suddenness of the charge the company could offer but a feeble resistance. In the meantime Co. A. of the Maryland Volunteers, the second in the line, was speedily rallied by its commanding officer, Capt. Vernon, who contested their further advance, in such a sanguinary manner as to form a rallying point for the remainder of the command, who were now thoroughly aroused to the danger which threatened them, and, one in all, from the officers to the privates, entered into the contest With such determined zest as led to the utter rout and discomfiture ol•the enemy, and the signal failure of their base attempt. They experienced a loss of one captain, two lieu tenants, and two privates. It was also very evident that they removed a large portion of .theirivounded with them, in their precipitate flight, ae a detachment of the command subsequently lent in pursuit, found evidence of blood all along their line of retreat. Our loss was four enliited men killed and sixteen wounded. Captain Vernon experienced a serious wound in the head, but it is not supposed that it will prove fatal.

IX—The disloyal persons who are coming into our lines for the only purpose of obtaining possession of their property, and who conker; such to be the case, have thus farfalled. Judge Heater, who has entire charge of all abandoned pro perty here, takes the ground that it is not the inten tion of the Government to encourage disloyalty, and that disloyal persons desiring to obtain possession of their property under the President's proclamation, Must first give conclusive evidence of their /Wen. Hon to keep in good. faith the oath required or them, 'and that they have come into our lines for the purpose of becoming legal citizens, and not for the sole put pose of obtaining their property. Many persons have openly confessed that they do not consider the required oath binding, and they did did not intend to respect it after obtaining pos session of their property. This decision mill, how ever, frustrate their plans, develop the right kind of loyalty, and save the Government many millions of dollars. The conservative papers in the State are in open rebellion against the wholesale conscription act now before the rebel Congress, the enforcement of which, they predict, will result in the secession of North Carolina from the rebel Confederacy; while the rebel papers say the South must lay down their arms, unless the act becomes a law.

In Norfolk there is a society called "Perfection. btu," and in their behalf some tea or twelve of their number have lately addressed a letter to the cont. mending general of that department, setting forth their objections to swearing allegianceto any earthly Government. The subject was disposed of by Gene ral Butler in the following characteristic manner : lIRADQUARTERB OF 18TH ARMY CORPS, FORT MONROR, :Va., Jan. 13. J. P. /oozier, E. H. Beaseley, and others: GrenTLlCalaf : I have read your petition to Gene• ral Barnes, setting forth your object - lona - to swearing allegiance to any earthly Government. The first rearon which you set forth is that "all human governments are a necessary evil, and are continued in existence only by the permission of-Je hovah, until the time arrives for the establishment of His kingdom, and in the establishment of which all others will be subdued unto It, thus fulfilling that declaration in the Bth of Daniel and 14th verse," You therein establish to your own satisfaction three points : First. The Government, although an evil, is a necessary one. Second. That for a time it is per. mitred to exist by the wisdom of Jehovah. Third. That the time at which a period is to be put to its existence is not yet come. Therefore you ought to swear allegiance to the Government of the United States. First. Because, though an evil, you admit it to be necessary. Second. Although an evil, you admit that it is permitted by the wisdom of Jehovah, and it is not for His creatures to question the wisdom of His acts. Third. You only elaim to be mauled when .leho• vah's government is substituted, which period, you namit, has not yet arrived. Your obedient pervflut,_ BENJAMIN F. BUTLER Execution of a Deserter at Beaufort. (From the Free South, Jan. 9.7 On Wednesday lent, the 6th inst., Joseph Strobel. of Co. I, 65th Pennsylvania Volunteers, was shot for desertion, at Beaufort, S. O. All the military on duty at the post were ordered out to witness the exe cution ; also all the prisoners in the jail, among whom are others charged with the same crime. The regiments were each drawn up in double lines, and the sentenced Man, the other prisoners and the guards, marched between. Strobel rode in a buggy under charge of Lieut. Saupp, Assistant Provost Mantled, and accompanied by the Rev. S. L. Her post chaplain, at whose request the execution had been postponed by General Gilmore for 24 hours, and who read and knelt in prayer with the unfortunate man in his last moments this side of eternity. On the way to the place of execution the prisoner bowed and smiled on recognizing his acquaintances, and told the chaplain that he should not feel better if he were going to a ball. At the place of execu tion he matched with a firm step to his coffin, and, standing beside it, the troops drawn up on three sides of him, and he, the cynosure of all eyee, read in a loud, firm voice, an address in the German lan guage, acknowledging hie guilt and declaring his repentance ; stating that he was not a thief or a murderer ; that, although 'he had not lived a man, he should die like a man ; that he had not- been a Christian, but he trust ed;. he should reach, Heaven, where he hoped to meet all his comrades, and his wife, for the latter of whom alone he felt sorry. An English translation of this address he handed to the chaplain, who rend it aloud. On parting with the - chaplain and the marshal, Captain Metcalf, he shook hands with them, and then drawing off' hie overcoat and delibe. rately stepping forward, his eyes unbandaged, he faced the file detailed to shoot him. He requested the men not to fire at his head, and when the com mand " ready " was given, he threw up his hand and cried !! Hold on hold on ! shoot me good!" to those pointing apparently at his face ; the gun, in voluntarily fell for an instant, then rose again, and Joseph Strobel lay a bleeding, lifeless corpse, pierced by six balls, beside the black coffin destined to con tain his body. Pity that a man so brave should suffer a fate so ignominious! Strobel was born at Solfingen, a town in Widen], berg, Germany. and came to this country six or eight years since. He claims to have been in the service in the Bth New York, from which, while a sergeant, he deserted, as he confesses, and having been caught, was reduced to the ranks. He entered nip 56th Pennsylvania as a substitute. He is twenty-one years of age, and has been married eight months. He was a tall, fine-looking, soldierly man. While in the jail, under sentence, one of the guards offered him an opportunity , of escape, but he refused to avail himself of it. and the next morning told the ,jailor what had taken place. In deserting this last time he left his post while on guard, and paid a negro live dollars to land him and a comrade on the main, but the negro, instead of taking them there, took them to St. Helena Island, where they were accidentally discovered by a colored man a few days after.

JANUARY 20, 1804. I.A. M 12 M. 8 A. m 12 m.... 3 r. M. 28 35 .35 130 WIND. WIND. NE NE WNW.....NW NW OBSEQUIES OF THE REV. HENRY STEELE CLARKE, D. D.—At three o'clock yesterday after noon, were celebrated, at the Central PresbyZerien Church, of which he was pastor, the obsequies of the Hey. Henry Steele Clarke, D. D. The decease o f Dr. Clarke was very sudden and unexpected, and was occasioned by typhoid pneumonia. He died at four o'clock last Sunday morning, after a very short illness. Yesterday afterboon, a few preliminary religious exercises having taken place at the house Of the deceased. No. 121 North Eleventh street, the funeral cort?ge moved down Arch street to Eighth, and up Eighth street to the Central Presbyterian Church. The coffin was overlaid with an exqui site wreath, which, together with a companion bou quet, was presented by a member of the congre gation, was deposited in the central aisle. The galleries and side aisles teemed with a crowd so compact that but few additions could pee. sibly have been made, the centre of the building being reserved for the member. of the church. The pulpit and candelabra were hung with black, and upon each side of the pulpit a platform was erected. These were for the accommodation of the clergy, of whom a great number attended. Rev. Dr. Musgrave conducted the religious exercises. These commenced with the singing by the choir of the hymn, " Come ye Disoonsolate. , Prayer was then offered by Rev. Dr. Thomas L. Janeway. The fifteenth chapter of the first Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, com mencing with the twentieth verse was then read by Rev. Dr. Shields. Prayer_,Nsma again offered by Rev. Bar. W. M. Breed. The five hundred and thirteenth hymn was then sung, commencing : " 'illy should our team in sorrow flow I" The singing of the hymn was followed by the ad dress, by Rev. Dr. Green, whose text was the fifth verse Of the UM chapter of Zechariah ! "Your fa thers, where are they and the prophet., do they live forever?" Bev—Dr. Greene commenced his ad. dress by remarking that thil was not a time to mul tiply vain words. What availed men's words of sympathy at such a time as this, when God himself was the speaker. •We hear his voice, and are si lent. All we can do is to listen. A father has been laid low. One of. the Lord's prophets has ceased to live. Nothing on earth is so precious as a hu• man life. • It is more precious than anything else this world contains. When God takes from our midst one whom we have reverenced and loved, we are struck dumb. The world stands still with us. And when a good man diem end the com munity feel% it has lost, forever, his example, coun sel. influence, and prayers, the whole community suffers, and the loss is felt to be heavy indeed. But in a case such as this, where the loss falls upon a church, we feel the distress to be irretrievable. When the pastor has been with his people in their joys and sorrows, speaking to those who are mourn er, in Zion, and pointing to them the way to Jesus ; when he belt shown each and every one how to ob tain a bright immortality, and when he has wound himself around all that is most delightful in re membrance, such a loss cannot but be felt to he altogether irreparable. Where is that voice which was wont to counsel and exhort? Whilst we think of this great public calamity, we must not for get it is a deep domestic grief, and that there is one house filled with darkness and gloom where the blow has moat heavily fallen. Shall we, because this di.- pensation is dark, sudden, and distressing—shall we, therefore, give up our Christian faith and hope? Shall we deny our Lord because his chosen ones are not exempt from the ordinary lot of men If we have had some conception of the glory of God's kingdom, it is sweet to suffer His holy will, and to say "Our Father, Thy will be done," even though it crush us to the earth. Do we not, by our very loss, learn the magnitude of the blessings which we have enjoyed I 0, if we know what God is, we shall feel it a privilege to bear even the cross he has laid upon us. We must anffir as well as do his will. Tne great work He proposes to do for us on earth, by all that varied pathway through which He leads his dear people is that they thine conformed to the image of his don. Along the y pathway they have trod are thefoot steps of the Saviour. lie himself lay in the grave and sanctified it for all time to come. Who would be without this evidence of likeness to Jesus? 0, what supports there arein these hours of distress ! If there is any time when the Bible is peculiarly precious, it is when every prop is taken away, except the omni potent arm of God 1 The uses of affliction—how numerous are they—how they should reconcile us to endurance! When we think of the return we have made to_God, could we complain with justice if be had man our earthly pathway dark and dello' late, without any corresponding compensation? The Book of God is MI of the consolation which muffin ers need. Why is it our heads must bow down be cause of our selfish grief, when this is a coronation day in Heaven'? It is the very completion of the Say door's salvation ; the . summons to one who haefought well the good fightof faith, to come up and wear his crown. He his joined the ranks of that blessedcompaoy who have come through much tribu lation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. When we catch glimpses of heaven, it does seem as though we could exclaim, with 'more sincerity than at other times, "Thy will be done !" It is only a little while since an old pastor of this church (Rev, Dr. McDowell), was borne to his lost resting place. Is there not an earnest appeal pro. ceeding from this scene today to lay these things solemnly to heart 4 You shall see your pastor here no more, but yet you and he shall meet again. Let not this eolimarismerning be of no effect. Hay thin magnificent ascension, which we have this day be held, lead you to inquire whether you have any por tion in the celestial city. And oh ! what shall we say to that heart which this arrow of affliction strikes most deeply I only that. the Comforter is near, and will assuredly com fort. The ties ruptureu here are not broken for ever. They shall be reunited after a little while. The void created God will abundantly flit, for he is the Special patron of the widow and the fatherless. Dr. Green's address was followed by prayer by the Rev. Dr. Crowell. The "Rock of Ages," a fa vorite with the late pastor, and of ten employed by him at the meditations of the communion season, was then sung. The benediction being pronounced, the lid of the coffin was removed, and each member of the immense assemblage had the opportunity of viewing the remains of the beloved pastor. The coffin was then placed in the vault, and the congre gation sorrowfully dispersed. The facilities pro vided for viewing the remains rendered the slightest confusion or embarraesment impossible, and the mode and manner in which the funeral itself was conducted reflectrinftnite credit upon those who su- pervised it. Next Sunday morning, at the Central Presbyterian Church, a sermon will be delivered on the "life, character, and death" of the late pastor. by the Rev. Dr. Shields. Dr. Clarke was a man of education, of refinement, of extensive sympathies, and of very delicate sensibility. His talents and piety were rendered doubly influential on society at large by the perfection of his breeding as a gentle man. But it was not for his social graces that he will be mainly remembered. It is his eminent re ligious worth which will embalm his memory and preserve it fresh and green for many and many a year. AT A SPACIAL 8111Ell'ING of the Union League, in the Twenty-fourth ward of Philadelphia, held January 19th, 1864, the following address was unanimously adopted, and ordered to be published : This League has never sought to take part in the strife of partizan politics. Founded with the sole object of supporting the Government in the struggle with rebellion, it has endeavored to unite men of all parties in the cause of the country, that the loyal North might present an unbroken iront in face of the traitors who are seeking our destruction. But the duties thus assumed do not permit us to remain passive spectators of the movements in pro gress around no,. Within our sphere of action lies all that tends to uphold the Union and to bind loyal men In unity of effort and purpose. We have hith erto lost no fitting opportemity of declaring our prin ciples, and we have spared no labor to render those principles triumphant. The time has now arrived for us again-to declare our convictions, and to resolve that we will do all in our power to further the ob ts which we believe essential to the welfare of the Reßepublic. No reasoning man can doubt that the strongest hope which now animates the rebellion. and Stimu lates it to prolong a despairing struggle, is the expel:. tation 'that at the next Presidential election the people, tired of the trials entailed by civil war, may place in power an Administration prepared to snort rice the Union in an inglorious peace. It therefore becomes the highest duty of the loyal citizen to join in such a declaration of public opinion as may show the futility of these hopes, and avert such a disaster as would attend their fruition. - • . It is the settled opinion of this League that In no way can this duty be performed more effectually than in the renomination of Abraham Lincoln as the Presidential candidate of the loyal American people. The popular heart, Whose instincts rarely err, has already designated him with a spontaneous impulse which Willies the calculations of shrewd politicians and designing intriguer.. A unanimity 110 unex ampled is the surest presage of Moen, and pledge. the support of the nation to the great principles in volved in the struggle with rebellion. Others there are whose eminent services merit the highest honors which a grateful people could be. stow , a)p t : llse Chief-Magistracy of the United States is not- _Rah anonor as a burtien, and the wet- fare of MXind exacts that it should be confided to him who can - best discharge the momentoui trust The approaching downfall of the rebellion, and the restoration of the Union, will demand in our ruler the practical experience, the sagacity , the honesty of purpose, and the single-heartednesi which so pre eminently distinguish our present President. The exigencies of the time require him, and the country cannot allow him to retire into private life at the very crisis when his familiarity with all the details of the situation render his services more essential than ever. . . . Believing, then, that the interests of the cause to which we nave. pledged ourselves can best be sub• served by the re election of Abraham Lincoln, we desire to join in the popular acclamation which. designates him as the chosen candidate of loyal Union men ; and to this end we would cordially in vite the cooperation of our fedlow.citizeni, Without regard to former political distinctions. Aa in April, lASI, the country arose with a common impulse to vindicate its threatened nationality,so let it now de. mend with one voice that the task of restoring and perpetuating that natity shall be still entrusted to the honest and able manwho has earned the con fidence of us all. Thus shall we best destroy the traitorous hopes of rebels, and thus shall we best perform our share of the duty which we owe to our country. PASSENGER RAILROADS.—The Fifth and Sixth-streets Passenger Railroad company celebra ted its sixth anniversary yesterday. The wire.were decorated with flags 1111 a memento of the occasion when the business went Into operation. For a year" or two before that time, the prejudice - against the. introduction of railways was tremendous. The pee. pie who owned property on the streets of the pro,. posed route effectually appealed to the Legislature. But finally the property. owners yielded, and the road was built at an enormous cost, more so than any other lathe city. It was the first, and it hse, la a business point of view, been conducted with some. thing like liberality. Soon after the Fifth and Stnth went into operation, the railroad mania decainieprce verbisi speculator. were oaths qui vibe, and, with singular Unanimity, members of the Legiglature and of the IMF Oounellejelned in with a run. There suit was that the city of Philadelphia became grid ironed with roads and it can now boast of having over a hundred miles of rail.traok within its borders. The business done on the roads is immense. Many of the people never think of waking ; five cents Is not much, but when, they come to compute' it yearly, they will find that two rides per day would make a gum to lay in fuel and flour enough for a family of six persons for a winter season. The *an on some of the roads are tolerably corn-. for table while on others the accommodation is mot* miserable and irksome. At times many of theca .are crowded to excess, and the pauengers have to breathe air over and over again, after its:vitality has gone. Medicinal men entertain the opinion that tire passenger oars have caused, or promoted some new disease they cannot control. Some of the hay used in them, is refuse army truck, full of disease. The ears on some of the roads are nothing wore not. less than places of insidious pestilence, sewing the seeds of contagion among all-who take a ride in them uht certain limes. Within the emitter° or three years the number of sudden deaths nave increased, and, in gunny teetering, among pervious who used to tette several trip/ per day in the Cam 11450 and hearty conductors have suddenly become thin and weak, and have had to give op their positlenS. They were, perhaps , overworked and, being conivelled to inhae the e noxious vapor (n the cars, began to bee muscle. In the opinion of wellinformed gentlomen, the top of the ears should be open at all times for ventilation, no matter how cold the weather may be. It would be well, however, for persons to walk as mush as possible in the open air, and ride only . in the ears as a matter of business, and not of luxury. There would be less sickness, and a ditaintshed num ber of deaths. HORBIBLB MURDER IN THE FIFTH WanD.—One of the moat daring deeds of murder that has been known in this city for some time was discovered last evening at No. 404: Spruce street. The house was three stories high, and the lower story was used for the storage of bartelM ecc. The second and third Mirka were occupied by a swan named Felix GM and his wife Mary, who had been jiving there for some time, The persons residing next door beard ft scuffling noise proceeding from Gill's house, betw 11 and 9 o'clock yesterday, Morning, but they pa s ned it by; es - they h a d ha .. queritly heard such noise before, calmed by Gill and his wife quarelling, he being of intemperate habits, and nearly all the time under the in ffuenee of liquor. Shortly after the scuffling W There being no signs of any one in the h ow, and Mrs. (1111 not making her appearance, excited the suspicion of the neighbors, who informed the land lord of the house about it. lie- had the house opened shortly after 8 o'clock last evening, and in the entry, about three feet from the door. lay the body of Mrs. Gill in a perfectly nude state, and covered with large slots of blood. Coroner Taylor was immediately telegraphed Tor. He proceeded to the dweiling, and found the body where it Was first discovered, which he had removed to the Union street station-house. The Coroner then promieded up stairs to the second story, and in a small room, evidently used as a kitchen, he discovered everything in the utmost confusion. The furniture and culina ry utensils were smeared with blood, and the door post. were covered with finger-marks of blood, evi dently denoting a hard struggle between the two. A pile of clothes was found saturated with blood, and covered with clots of hair, as was also the floor. A basin, containing water and blood . , was found, in which , it is supposed, the murderer had washed his hands after committing the deed. The table was set with some cold chicken and a variety of other things on it. A small stone, used for the purpose of sharpening knives, was also found in this room covered with blood. The coroner then proceed ed to the third story, which contained a bed in much disorder. There were also plenty of clothes in the room, but no indication of mur der having been committed hare. On the stain leading from the second to the first story a line quantity of blood was found, and within a foot of the body lay the plate of a stove, but there was no blood upon it. The Coroner entertains the opinion that the woman was dragged from her bed, murder ed, and then thrown down stairs. The keys of the front door were found on the same stairs. The door was not locked, but the latch was down. After examining the body, a wound in the back part of the head, measuring_two.ipahaceo..length, was found. It is supposed that the skull was also fractured. A post mortem examination wUI be held at the station-house this morning by Dr. Shapleigh, and the inquest by the coroner at 12 o'clock, when persons having any knowledge of the murderer are invited to be present. Gill was ar rested in Spruce itreet, last evening, by officer Gol den and koCked up in the station house. Ile was under the influence of liquor, and resiste.ffithe officer, who was compelled to call a soldier to his assist ance. It is supposed that there was considerable trouble between him and the wife in regard to their property, which led to the perpetration of this foul deed. THE CATAWISSA RAILEOAD.-1 . 11 refer ence to the reported accident on this railroad, the following telegraphic despatches were reeeiyed by the officers of the road yesterday morning: WILLIAM - POEM, Jan. 20-11 A. EL—T. Y. 1)u Puy, Req4Preside2i: Not the slightest foundation in any manner whatever for the rumor. Have my views where it originated. You will receive my views in Mins° by 2 P. M. today. GEO. WEBB, Supt. [ANOTHBR DESPATCIi.j WILtrAMEPOItT, San. 20 --W. L. Gilroy, Treasurer of the Catalano Railroad Company: A. 6 superinten- dent of the Catawissa Railroad Company, I would say that no accident of any kind whatever occurred on our road on the 19th inst., and that no accident of any kind has ever occurred on our road front im perfection of bridges; that .nino trains passeil oyer all our bridges on the 19th inst ; that we have no buidge No. 6," and further, that we have our sus picions where these malicious reports originated, and will take aotive measures to prosecute the par ties as soon as our proof 1. full and scient. GEORGE W uffi Eßß, Supt. The original despatch from Harrisburg, narrating the particulars of the alleged accident on the Cate- WhES Railroad, proves to have, been a forgery. It was received over the Inland, or Independent Tele graph line, and had the signature of a gentleman at Harrisburg, from whom despatches are occasionally received by the Aurociated Press. YOUNG LADIES AND RED FLANNEL.—The young ladies of a certain school, in this city, are said to have formed themselves into a sewing society whose object it is to assist the Sanitary Commission. When they are not busy with, French they are busy with flannel, and when they are tired of geography they are immersed in gamete. The amount Of Work accomplished by these young ladies is incredible, and the tableaux vivants which they occasionally present, and which are solely in aid of the Sanitary Commission, create a complete furore among the au dience—the paying audience, mind you—brought to. gether. Now and then, like every other corpora tion, their funds beconie rather low. But their ener gy never ebbs. If any soldier is anxious for a shirt, if any old blase !heater-goer wants a new sensation, let him apply to the young ladies above designated end, doubtless, both the shirt and the sensation will be forthcoming in a twinkling. TENTH WARD QUOTA NOT FILLED.—We have been requested, on behalf of the Executive Oommittee of the Tenth ward, having charge of the bounty fund, to state that the quota of this ward is believed not to be full. They have stopped enlist ments under the resolution to be found in another column, because the precise quota of the ward has not been definitely ascertained, and will not be until the ward receives credit for the men who have re cently been enlisted and credited generally to the city, and for the further reason that they are un willing to have men enlisted and credited to this ward, under the guarantee of the payment of a bounty, without funds being in the hands of the treasurer to pay them, and that at present this is the case. "Qurcir Wonx.—Capt. Robert Maguire, who lately returned from the seat of war as lieu,. tenant in the 20th Regiment, Penhaylvanla Chrtratry, - has, by his untiring exertion, eucceeded in ',recruit. leg a full company of cavalry to serve for three years, in a little more than n week's time. This fact speaks well for the patriotism of our people and for the enterprise and popularity of the Captain, who is a thorough soldier, and has passed through considerable bard service since the breaking out of this rebellion. Me has been in a number of engage ments, and was dangerously wounded in one of the battles in Virginia about a year ago. Having met with so much success in raining his company, °apt. Maguire has determined to recruit another, for which quite a number of men have already been ob. twined ; and itis quite likely that it will be filled to the maximum number in a few daps. GOUGE'S LECTURE TO-NIGHT.—Those of our readers who were unable to get moored seat. for Mr. Gough'a lecture tonight, may stillget tickets for the family circle at Martien's, or at the door in the evening. Mr. Gough has just returned from the Army of the Potomac, where he has been addressing the soldiers, and be will no doubt give Ws, audience the benefttor his experience. A feature- of the oc. =don will be the presence of a large number of ' The proceeds are for the benefit of sick and wounded soldiers, to be applied through the Chris tian commission. A TROPHY OP THE WAR.—The battle flag of the 88th Regiment, P. V., is now on exhibi tion at the large military furnishing establishment of Messrs. Evans & Hassell, No. 418 Arch street. This battle-worn, and bullet-torn ensign elciquently ex presses the bravery and heroism of this gallant Penneylvania Regiment—formerly Col. McLean's, now under the command of Clol. Louis Wagner— having been carried triumphantly through no less than ten patties of the war, the names of which are appropridteiy inscribed upon its folds. FUNERAL 6F A SOLDIRR.-- . .T.he remains of the late Lieut. James Manton, of Company B, 2d Pennsylvania Reserves, were interred yesterday at the Cathedral • Cemetery.

Three ambulances, filled with wounded soldier', beaded the procession, followed by a band, with a detachment from the regiment of the deceased. The funeral services took place at St. Paul's Catholic Church, Tenth and Christian 'treats and were of a very ixspresstge and aoletnn character.

Hint, W. McGrath, T. Roche, Cl.,,Leisertring. REcntrrrina.— Captain Cadwallader, re cruiting officer for all Pennsylvania regiments, hes been kept busy attending to recruits ever since the bounty was resumed. This bide well for Philadel phia. A person enlisting can be credited to whatever ?state, city, or ward he desires and if to this city, he will receive the Government and city bounty, and also that given by the wards, which amount, in some case., to one hundred dollars. Now is the time for persons to serve their country, and also receive a sum of money sufficient to keep their family for some time. • TEE 73D REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA 110- LuNTEBIte, under command of Illajor Charles . 0.
