TjADißs’ First Relief Association.—
Thim M «oci*Woz! of p»triotio ml wxrm-heuted la-
W 55 organized about throe month* ago, under
rather adverse oiioumitances, but la now In excel
lent working order. The object ot this auooiatioa
is to care far and make csmfortable the families of
those discharged soldiers who are disabled and not
in & condition to provide for for the
widows and orphans of those who have fallen in
defence of their country’s honor and
hive at the present time about one hundred per
anm tn sunnlv constantly, moat of whom have five
vhKo. sTd thrie, likewise, are well at
tended to. Among those who, some under the nn-
Mediate care of these benevolent ladies is an old
2£rtl?Sa£Bo"ea» of age, and hi. wife, aged 75,
both living in Budo'ph street. Their two eons, on
whom they depended for support, enlisted and were
hilled on the battle-held* When the news of their
ueath reached the old gentleman, he became per
feetly deranged, and had to be taken to Rirkbride’*,
wfceie he iemaioed a short time, and his mind being
partially restored, he was sent home again, where
he now is, but in a rather melancholy state. Dif
ferent articles of food and clothing are sent regu
larly to both of them. The association is in want
ot fucds to set them up a small notion store, so that
they can earn sufficient to support themselves.
Other incidents of a similarcharacter have been
discovered by these ladies, and ia every case their
wants were fully supplied. , Persons desirous Of
this aid should make application, when a committee
visit the house for the purpose of ascertaining
whether they are actually the wives or widows of
soldiejs, ana if such is found to be the case, taetr
names and places of residence are registered in a
book, (which is open to public inspection,) and they
aie permitted to gjipiy i™ “•* J 5i rti $SL.£SE
stand in need of. Wednesdays and Saturdays
aie the days set apart fur the delivery, of the
various things, which uur.iEt of provisions and gro.
series of every hind, clothing, fuel, shoes, Stocking*,
soap, brushes; combe, gloves, and everything neoßi,
sarv to make them happy and comfortable. It might
be well to state here that their baok renta are paid,
and when sick medicine is provided for them. Very
often they give them money to redeem the clothing
which they pledged to buy themselves food. The
Association i* sustained by voluntary contribution,
but of late they h&ve not succeeded in collecting
ecGUfih money to puichate a large stock of the va
rious articles needed. It is the duty of every per
son in tills city, whom God has blessed with a suffi
ciency, to contribute liberally of their meaas to
wards the maintenance of this association. The
families of our soldiers are in a Buttering and pitia
ble condition, and must be sustained, and whom
does their sustenance devolve on more th*a those
whom the calamities of this has not fallen upon*
If you contribute to the poor And needy God has
pros lied to return thB same in greater fold after
many days. This war attotds a blessed opportunity
for every one to cast their bread upon the waters,
and the association We allude to should receive a
portion of tbit breed. A lecture will be delivered to
morrow evening in Hairdel and Haydn HaU, Eighth
and Spring Garden streets, for its benefit, by Enoch
H, Supplee, Esq., on « The World of Fact and Fan
cy.” Purchase ticket* forit even if you have no de
sire to attend.
The association comprises the following officers

The Soldiers’ Contention at the
Citizens’ Volubtsbr Hospital— A large and
enthusiastic meeting of the soldiers connected with
the Citizens* Volunteer Hospital} Broad 'and Prime
streets, was held in the dining ball, on Saturday
evening- The room was tastefully decorated) the
tri-colors, hanging in rich festoons, forming a canopy
over the speakers. In the back-ground was the
motto “Let us sustain the Government by our
voices which we have defended in the held,”
which was displayed in bold letters the width of the
zoom*
At half past seven the meeting was organized by
electing sergeant Hicks, of New York, to the
chair. Eleven vice presidents were chosen, being
one from each State iepresented.
Eloquent speeches were delivered by tho'worthy
T. w. Olmsted, Sergeant Matthews, of
Michigan, Corporal Taylor, of New Hampshire,
Privates • Ela, of Maine, Eaton, of Minnesota,
Ewart, of Pennsylvania, and others; after which the
following resolutions were unanimously adopted?
Whereas, The approaching contest for the Presidency
Is one fraught with weal or woe to oar beloved blood
bought land, involving the mighty question Whether we
shall treat with treason and admit that for three year*
we hare pursued a myth; that the monuments erected
to the memory of the brave and honored dead hare bean
reared in vain; shall the millions of money so freely
expended be but a nation’s tribute to the base ingrati
tude of the South, whose pampered leaders have heaped
insult and contumely upon uuraelvee as d comrades ? Or
shall we trees nobly forward to victory and crush tbs
nuiaiur&l rebellion now desolating onr land by a de
termined prosecution of the war, and show all enemie*
that we ere determined to support the Government, and
to maintain unimpaired the glorious privileges of free
Institutions handed down to as by our forefathers?
Therefore, the soldiers who. by reaion of wounds re
ceived in battle, are now in the Citizens’ Volunteer
Hospital, having assembled in mass meeting for the in
terchange of opinion on the political aspect of affairs, do
Ee&alve. That in reviewing the course of the preseat
Administration we do not perceive what more comd have
been done than has been accomplished by oar able Pre
sident in advancing the objects for which the war is
waged, and that we deem it impolitic in tae present na
taos»l crisis that any change should be made in the ad
ministration of the Government, except such as may be
shown to be necessary by the subsequent course of
events.
Sesolved, That we recognise in Abraham Lincoln the
guiding star of onr hopes—one whose wisdom, aided by
sage counsellors, will eventually bring us from under
the lowering cloud that now shadow* oar national pros
pects to the mors perfect day of glorious peace; and his
re-election to bis present position will best accomplish
the objects for which the war is wage-, and be a jaafc
tribute to his wisdom, integrity, and patriotism-
Sesolved, That we earnestly recommend Abraham
Lincoln for renomination, and call upon our friends at
home, and companions in the held, to aid ns by voics
and vc-te to secure his renomination and re election, ba
lievicr, by such a course, we shall show the rebels we
are determined to crush their infernal schemes and to
maintain the Integrity of ear free institutions.
Setohed. That the officers of the meeting be directed
to publish thepioceedings, signed by a delegate from each
State represented.
The resolutions having been adopted, the meeting
adjourned. JOd. H. HICKS, President,
Jos. S. Eaton, Secretary.
Messrs. J. A. Lamt, E. H. Shbppabd, and Jos.
Shaw, Committee on Resolutions.
Parting -with an Old Soldier.—On
Saturday evening a number of the friends of Captain
Funston met at Col. Berry’s Marquee, on South
Sixth street, and after partaking of some of the
good things of life, the meeting was called to order,
and Col. Reynolds, late of the l4 Soott Legion ” Regi
ment, was called to the chair. Mr. Charles A. Jones,
late quartermaster of the same regiment, in a few
remarks offered a aeries of resolutions, expressing
the sense of the old Scott Legion toward Ih air friend
and old comrade in arms, Captain Funs ton,, who
was about embarking for California, Col. Reynolds
referred eloquently-to the scenes through which he
and Captain Funston had passed as soldiers. The
memory of fallen braves was not forgotten, and the
Colonel paid a beautiful tribute to one whom he as
cribed the honor of both gentleman and chivalrous
soldier—the late Major Hawksworth, In wishing
Captain Funston * God speed on his journey,” there
was an audible response of amen from all present.
The Colonel said “that though separated by sea and
land, they still were under the same dear old flag,
and that their hearts would be united and their
memory dear.’ 11
Other addresses were made, and Captain Funston
replied, in a few touching remarks, to the good
wishes of his friends. Pointing to the medal o? the
“ Scott Legion” on his breast, he said it would be a
daily xeminder of the brave associates with whom
he had been connected as a fellnor.ln. *rm» iff TVTaviwa
and on our own dear soil,
Colonel Berry made a few parting remarks, con
ceived in excellent taste, and delivered with the ac
customed spirit for which be is proverbial.
After singing the “ Star-spangled Banner,” led by
Charles Jones. Eiq., the meeting adjourned.

CaptMn Roger*, left thla port for ttfontevieao, Not.
28tb, 1863, and arrived there Deo. 16th. On the fol
lowing day, during a terrible thunder storm, she was
stiuckby lightning, which carried away the main
and mizzen top-gallant masts, splitting mizzen mast
and fore-top-mast and spraog head of foremast. The
lightning came down the mizzen-mast into the cabin
tearing everything to pieces, and then passed
through the hold, starting off a number of planks
on the outside, which ceuted the vessel to leak two
inches per hour. Every one on board was rendered
senseless for several minutes, and one sailor lost his
sight for two hours,
Death of Col. Fribley.—By advices
received in this city on Saturday, we learn of the
death of Gol. Fribley, late commander of the Bth
Regiment U. S. Colored Troops. Col. Fribley was
formerly in command of the 84th Pennsylvania
Regiment, and on the 16th of last month was or
dered, with other colored regiments, to Florida.

ferent parties in this City.
Duck Shooting.— Mr. George De Binder,

In bagging sixty ducks between Chester and New
Casile in four days last week. This may be consi
dered mb excellent for one person. The ducks
obtained were of the ‘following character: thirty
three blacks, ten sprigs, nine mallards, three bald

Death of a Well-Known Chemist.—
Frederick Brown, Esq., a well-known chemist and
druggist, died at his residence in this city on Satur
day mornibg, after an Illness of two months. He
was popularly known in all parts of the country as
the manufacturer of “Brown’s Essence of Jamaica
Ginger.” He was a very enterprising citizen and
successful business man, and was one of the most
efficient members of the Board of Managers of the
Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane.
'Effects of a Gale.— lt seems that the
eddying gust of wind on Friday afternoon did more
or lets damage in different parts of the city than
was supposed. During a heavy Mow, which came
as a big wave, not lasting over a half a minute, the
framework of the steeple of the Tabor Presbyterian
Church, at Christian and Eighteenth streets, was
blown down. In its de&oent a part of the church
building was crushed, and the spire was demolished.
To "Soldiers Credited out of the
Citt.—Those who, induced by high bounties, are
leaving the city of Philadelphia and permitting
themselves to be credited to other localities, should
remember that the city must, of course, refuse to per
mil the families of such persons to be supported out
of the fuod for the relief of the families of volun
teers.
Pabade Ground.— The lot of ground in
the rear of the Academy of Music has been rented
for a parade ground for the members of the Free
Military Softool for applicants to command colored
regiments. The first drill took place on Saturday,
and quite a large concourse of spectators were pre
sent.
Condemned Horses.—Between three
and four hundred condemned Government horses
passed through the city on Saturday. They were
miserable ana lanky* looking animals, and were sent
up Jersey to be sold.
THE POLICE.
(Before Mr- Alderman Beitler. 3
Assault and. Battery and Robbery*
Three men, jgiving the names of James Conning
ham, Samuel Hamm, and William Yeager, were ar
raigned on Saturday, on the charge of committing
an assault and battery upon Edw. H. Warrick, and
robbing him cf the sum of s67s. Mr, Warrick be
longs to Chew’s Landing, Camden county, New
Jersey. He arrived in Philadelphia with a squad of
colored men who desired to enlist in the service of
the country. Sometime after hia business had been
attended to, he went to a restaurant near Twelfth
and Chestnut streets, to obtain some refreshments*
The defendants were present, and Warrick being
somewhat under the influence of liquor, a row was
soon inaugurated, evidently at hit expense. He was
knocked down and beaten dreadfully. During the
m&lde he was robbed of the sum ol $675. The three
defendants were arrested some time afterwards. It
was in evidence that Cunningham struok the first
blow, and that Hamm was seen shortly after hand
ling a pocket-book, which he threw away after hav
ing taken Its contents. Yeager, it seems, was in
company with these two, and it is alleged that he
had some knowledge of the affair. The defendants
were committed to answer.
Satwday Evening Scene* in the Central
Station
Seated in the detective 1 * office of the Central Sta
tion, on Saturday evening, discussing matters and
things in general, with a number of officials, we
were not a little amused at a scene which occurred.
A man with a shawl thrown over his arm, and a pair
of kids In his hand, suddenly entered and lodged in*
formation that he hsd been robbed of his valise at
the music hall, opposite the station. The stranger
Hid lie bad jut arrived from New York and Hopped
in to bear tbe muaio, and that somebody bad itoleu
his valise. An officer proceeded to tbe music hall,
made inquiry about the valiae, and it waa produced.
Ac be waa about to take it away, tbe proprietor re*
marked that “the eum of fifty centa waa due upon
it.”
“What’s that 1” replied the officer.
Tbe proprietor repeated the acaertion.
"Wby,* l said the officer, “the owner lodged in*
formation at the office that he had been robbed of
hla valiae, while treating bla friend.”
The proprietor became decidedly indignant, and
informed tbe official that the owner or the value
had deposited it aa collateral for half a dollar’a
worth of drinkc. ... . ,
Presently the party in tbe detectivea* room had
tbe addition or several persons, among whom were
the proprietor of the music ball and the officer with
the valiae. The scene that now ooourted, though
rich and raoy in the extreme, does not juatify the
occupation of aa muoh room aa would be required to
fully describe it.' Suffice it to any that the stranger
was recognized to be a fiequenfer of aalooni, one
who was never known to refuse a drink when
asked. He was of that class of genus homo who may
be seen standing at times in front of hotels, picking
their teeth with a quill, and staring insultingly at
the ladies as they pass by.
The music half in question is perhaps one of the
best of the cheap eoncert saloons; at least, we learn
that some regard is paid to morality within its
walls. The scene at the station finally concluded
with the tableau of the impostor leaving the office
amid the ecorn, eontempt, and derUlon of the pro*
misououa party that had by this time congregated
therein.
Abvbbtibbmbht o t a Runaway Mabtek.— The
following advertisement, which we copy from the
Memphis (Tenn.) Bulletin of tbe 12tb instant, af*
forda a striking illustration of the ruin which the
rebellion has brought upon slavery:'
