The Tattered Flags.
PBB&trAKT 2-20,1864.
Hot The Fresi. ]
Stirring muilo thrilled me sir,
Brilliant banner* flattered there,
Pealed the bell* and rolled the drum,
And the people cried, “They cornel”
On they came with mewured tramp—
Heroes proved in field and camp;
HanD era waved more proudly then.
Cheered the children, cheered the men;
Beauty, lover of the brave,
Brightened with the smiles ahe gave,
While the sun, In golden jeta,
Flowed along the bayonet*,
At upon each laurel crown
Heaven bad poured a blearing down.
All wai stirring, grand, and g»y.
But the pageent pa«»ed away
When, With proud and lining eye,
I aaw the tattered flag* 8° by -
Fancy then wight faintly hear
Ho*'a advancing, battle ebeer,
Sightleaa bulleta whiz along—
fit refrain for battle-aong ;
cannon, with their *ulph’roua breath,
Hurling meaaagea of death ;
Whirring ahot and aoreaming shell
Fluttering where in wrath they fell;
Opening grave*, while purple rille
Soar the field* and streak the hills.
See the serried columns press—
Bold, defiant, merciless—
On the long and (lender line
Where the starry banners ihlne;
With demoniac yells they come,
Fiercely drive their bayonets home,
And the arching heaven* resound—
God! our men are giving ground I
Shouts, and cries of wild despair.
Mingle in the murky air.
XVow they rally' And our foe*
Keel before their vengeful blows,
While the wounded pause to cheer
As they stagger to the rear,
And the dying catch the sound,
Clutch their weapons from the ground,
Struggle up ere life be gone,
Smile, and wave their comrade* on,
Falling with a joyful cry
As the tattered flags go by!

CBefore Hr- Alderman Battler. J
Alleged Hotel Robbers
Two young men, giving the names of J. S. Moore
and Edward Moore, were arraigned at the Central
Station, yesterday afternoon, on the charge of steal
ing the property of several boarders at the Mer
ohants' Hotel, on North Fourth street. The defend
ants hail from Cincinnati, Ohio. One says that he
is a paperhanger by trade. The other says that he
was formerly a clerk on board a steamboat on West
ern waters, bat had not acted in that capacity for
the last fifteen months. ThB evidence, so far as
elicited, seems to be slightly circumstantial. On
the Ist instant Edward Moore stopped at the hotel.
He registered his name 11 E. Moore, Pittsburg."
The other defendant proceeded to the hotel on
Wednesday night as the guest of Edward.
It was discovered at an early hour yesterday
morning that a robbery had been committed withia
the hoteL This was reported at the clerk's office.
A messenger was at once despatched to tie Central
Station for an officer. Detective Charles Smith re
sponded promptly. In the meantime, however, Mr.
McKibbin, proprietor of the hotel, went up stairs,
and observtd Edward Moore, one or the defendants,
on the stairway, He asked him what he was doing
up at so early an hour. He gave, without hesita
tion, a reliable excuse. Mr. McKibbin asked him
what room he occupied, and he said 69K- The pro
prietor told him to go the room* and then went down
stairs.
Presently Mr. Smith, of the detective force, came
in. The ciroumstances .were hurriedly communi
cated to him. He at once proceeded to room 69t0
have it searched, but this apartment was occupied
by other parties. It wsn, subsequently ascertained
that the defendants lodged in room No. 96>£; the
detective entered j J. S. Moore was found in bed
with his pantaloons on $ the other defendant was up.
He proceeded to the wash-basin while the officer was
searching the room. After apparently washing his
hands, he raised the sash ana spit out from the win
dow, and then closed the sash. Mr. Smith thought
that he had something In his band, which he threw
away; could not say for certain that he had any*
thing in his hand. The prisoners and the room were
most thoroughly searched, and some articles of jew
elry were taken. None of the things so recovered
were identified as having been stolen.
While this was going on upstairs, Mr. McKibbin
went into the yard, and discovered a package or
bundle on the pavement. He sent the clerk out to
pick it up. He did so: and, upon an inspection, it
was found to contain three gold watches, a diamond
ring, and a considerable amount of money.
At the hearing, yesterday afternoon, a gentleman
named Levy, belonging to New York, and who has
been boarding at the hotel a short time, testified that
his room had been entered some time in the night,
his gold watch, worth $260, a diamond ring, worth
$2OO, and about $1,200 in money, had been stolen.
This witness identified his watch and ring. They
were in the package found in the yard by the clerk.
Tbe watch was broken.
hlr. hlyer Hyman, of Wheeling, V&., identified a
watch and chain worth $6O. He testified that on
getting up from bed about 8 o’fllook m the morning,
he found hi Broom door open; he had looked it when
he retired for the sight. Three pocket-books were
found on the floor of his room; one of them belonged
to Mr. Levy, the preceding witness.
Mr* D. A. Taylor, of New York, was also robbed
of a watch valued at $2OO. He identified his pro
perty, although the cases were bent, and the springs
of the wotka broken. His pocket-book .was alio
found on the floor in the room occupied by Mr. Hy
man, It contained a small amount of money, whieh
was taken. A oheok for $76 was left in the pocket
book.
Mr. A. P. Miller, the clerk of the hotel, testified
to the fiodirg of the package in the yard containing
the identified articles.
Detective Smith testified to the facta of the arrest,
and the seizing of a number of articles in possession
of the defendants. A number of hotels have been
robbed within a short time past, and it may be that
some of the not identified things may lead to further
interesting developments, in oonneotion with the
defendants, than anything yet elieited. . The prison
ers were committed in default of $2,000 bail to
answer.
[Before Mr. Alderman Whit*, j
A Story About a Horse.
James Kelly, a milk vender, residing in or about,
or somewhere near Upper Darby, was arraigned
yesterday, before the police magistrate of the Fifth
ward, on the charge of the larceny of a horse valued
at $lOO, the property of John Speakman. It seems
that a brother of the complainant was a captain in
the army. It is alleged that when he started away,
in service or the country, he was indebted to Kelly
for some milk.
Mr. John Spe&kuan puiohased the horse from a
loyal citizen, at Winchester, Va., and paid in green
back, the eum of one hundred dollar,. The animal
In reality hi said to be worth much more than this
amount. It in alleged that a day or two since, the
defendant called upon the owner of the horse, and
asked him to bring the animal to Darby, to help him
move hie household goods, as he bad rented a house
two miles and a half nearer the city. Mr. S. kindly
reiponded, and went there one day this week. Kelly
put the horse into a stable and then invited Mr. S.
to dinner, which was at onee accepted. While he
was going through the gastronomic exercise, Kelly
absented himself, and was gone nearly an hour.
Upon returning, Mr. S. asked him what he had done
with the horse ; to whioh Kelly replied “do, and
And Out.” In order to do so, the owner thought the
best plan to pursue was to commence legal proceed
ings, to which we are Indebted for the above points.
The defendant does not deny taking the horse,
bnt doing it In the manner as indicated, he contends,
does not show anything like felonious Intent. He
waa held to bail to await a farther hearing, to take
place on Saturday.
THE COURTS.
Court of Quarter Sessions-Judge Ludlow.
In this court yesterday bnt little of interest was
done. Adam tobensteln was tried upon a charge
of Inciting to riot at the polls of the Third precinct,
Twenty*fifth ward, at the last fall election. The
evidence of the police officer making the arrest, only
showed that the defendant only objected to the pro.
eenee of the officer Inside the voting-room while the
election was going on, and that he was noisy out
side. The District Attorney abandoned the case,
and the jury rendered a verdict of acquittal.
The Commonwealth vs. Joseph Brooks. The de
fendant la Indicted for counterfeiting the trade-mark
used by a manufacturer of “ Barlow’s Indigo blue."
The prosecutor is Aaron Filet. The ease is on
trial.
The Brand Jury came into court with their final
presentment, and were discharged from further at
tendance. They present, that they have acted upon
478 bills, of which 303 were returned as true, and 175
were Ignored. They visited the various prisons and
the almshouses and speak favorably of their manage
ment and condition at to cleanliness, Ac. The Brand
Jury recommend (as all former grand juries within
our recollection have done) the establishment of a
house Of correction ror juvenile offenders. They
also reoommend, at the request of the managers of
the House of Befuge, the removal of the colored In
mates to some “farm locality, where they oould
have the benefit of more air and light, and greater
space for working,” Ac.
The presentment doses thus:
The Brand Jury cannot avoid oalling attention to
the subjeot of “forfeited recognizance.,” deeming
It a serious evil to the community that they should
not he collected in all eases, except where, on con
sultation with the judges, might be deemed Inex
pedient. At present It only Incites to evil by the
almost certainty that the ball will not be compelled
to pay unless the prosecutor insists upon It; and
then only enough Is required to remunerate him for
his loss. The prisoner escapes, and the ball Is either
not called upon or pays over only * portion of wh.t
he has received from the prisoner for the risk In
curred. The county treasury receives nothing from
this source. The amount, if collected, would be
large, a check would be given to the trade of “going
ball,” and fewer oaaes would ocour requiring it?

C *Mr. fouusLxir offered the following, which was unani
mously adopted:
Whereas The act entitled an act to provide foreu
enrolling the national forces, approved March 3, 1863.
makes it the duty of the President of tip United States
to direct that each Congressional district'and sub-district
shall furnieh its proper quota of volunteers, required
under any call issued in pursuance of said law; and
wheieas. the citizens of Philadelphia have always been
and still axe willing to furnish their fall quota of volnu
teen to aid In enforcing the laws; and whereai.webelteve
our city h&S furnished more volunteers than any city in
the Union, and that it is entitled to justice at theh-.nds
of the Administration, and. therefore, we cannot under
stand upon whet principle of calculation Philadelphia,
containing a population of 6D.000 Inhabitants, should be
required under the present draft for 600.000 men to fur
nish twenty thousand, while the city of New Fork, con
taining a population of 900,000 persons, furnishes only
16.979 volunteers, as is now admitted to be the proper
quota of New York. This Plainly Bhows a wrong is
Uone to Philadelphia in making her quota We have
endeavored on previous occasions to obtain information
on this subject, without success, while citizens in
ether localities have been heard. We trust we may be
heard in person on this important question. Our city
has furnished more men than her proportion—this cm
be shown by a proper examination. We believe our
jußt quota to be, say. ............. ....12,000
Drafted! men, substitutes, and commuta
tion paid - 8.600
New recruits and re-enlisted men. to whom
city bounty has been paid,.10,663-14168
Excess over proper quota. 2.168
In order that we may establish these facts beyond all *
doubt; therefore, belt
i letolved. That the Mayor and chairman of the Com
mittee on Protection and Defence be requested to com
munieate with the President of the United States and the
Secretary of War on the subject, that justice may be
dona to the citizens of a city who on all occasions have
attested their love for their country.
A resolution was offered to recall from the Committee
on Highways the funher supplement to the ordinance
for reorganizing the Highway department, which, after
some d ebate. was indefinitely postponed.
A resolution was offered to change the place of voting
in the Second pieclnct of Ninth ward to 823 Filbert street,
Which was referred to the Committee on Law.
Mr. Ecbstbct called up the ordinance to pay $5OO to
H. J. Fox, for damages sustained by him in consequence
of an improper and erroneous survey of a lot of ground
fay Amos Styles, a district surveyor, which was indefi
nitely postponed.
Mr. Stokley offered a resolution, instructing the Chief
Commissioner of Highways to inquire of the Philadel
phia Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad Company,
Why they have sot commenced the repairs to the Gray’s
Ferry bridge. Adopted.
A number of bills from Select Connell were concurred
In. Among others, a resolution of inquiry, requesting
the commissioners of the Sinking Fund to inform Coun
cils of the reason for the sale of 2,000 shares of the Penn
sylvania Railroad stock, by Which the city lost $32,000.

MARINE MISCELLANY. •, _
“he divers at wark on the wreck it BteftlllSMp DOQO>
xnian were down several times on Monday, for the pur*
pose of stopping the holes in the bottom of the ship, a
number ot which they dosed. The prospect is very
good for raising her. Those who have the matter In naan
are building water-tight boxes to plaee over the hatches
preparatory to pumplngtheshlp out. Thera was bnt one
foot water over the deck at low water on Monday. An
effort will firstbe made to raise the wreck without break
ins cargo. An enormous steam pump will be employed,
capable of discharging a barrel of water at a single
stroke. The schooner Henry W. Johnson arrived from
New York Monday morning and went to the wreck,
where she will remain dniing the process of raising it.
Another vessel Is on her way, or naß arrived from the
same place for the same purpose. Capt W. Merrett,
general agent of the New York Board of Underwriters,
as charge of the work. It is probable the attempt to
float her would be made on Wednesday. One of th*
divers recovered on Monday the parser's drawer, con
taining some 6GO sovereigns, of the value of about $4,000,
tnd other valuable articles.
