NEfW“byN,..WSW\..WSW Great Meeting on Behalf ok the Ohbbokbe Indians.— Concert HaU last evening wa» densely packed with ladies and gentlemen, on the occasion of the call for a public meeting on be* half of the loyal Cherokee Indiana. There were many person* unable to gain admittance, At the appointed hour, John P. Crozier, EBq., ol Cheater, was called to preside. The Rev. Dr. Taylor addreared the Throne of Grace; after which one rerte of a hymn, ai follows, waa Bung: All hail the power of Jesus’ name, Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem And crown him Lord of aU. ” Theso appropriate preliminaries Having been gone through with, Rev. Dr. BraineTd, of the Fourth Presbyterian (old Pine-street) Church, w»b Intro duced to the vast assemblage. He said he endoraed with his whole heart the object which had brought the people together. He was old enough to remem ber the Cherokee nation for many years. He well remembered the Miaaion called Brainerd, located, between thirty and forty years ago, near the place now called Chattanooga. He well remembered the Cherokee nation was the first to emerge from bar barism under the illuminating raya of civiliza tion. He well remembered a chief of that nation called Phoenix, because the nation at that time ocoupled the land of their fathers, siting, as it were, from their ashes. He well remembered the discussion that arose in the Legislature of the State of Georgia that this same Cherokee nation should be rooted out, and driven to the far West, so that the aggressors might possess themselves of the rich farms, the beautiful gardens, and the homes of these God-Joving Christian people. He remembered that a treaty had been made between the Uaited States Government and the Cherokee nation which the Supreme Court decided to be valid, and he did not forget that the authorities of the State of Georgia set the treaty aside, violated it in every respect, and defied the power of the Sn« preme Court. Notwithstanding this solemn com pact, the legislature of Georgia passed laws dispos ing of the property of the lottery; drove the owners from their happy honitai tors from them their fine orchards, and ruthlessly drove the nation from the land of their fathers. The poor old man, infirm, whose sun of life was scon to set; the feeble old woman, whose grey locks could not awa ken a spark ofsympathyin the bosom of the despoil er,were all driven away. The schools for Ohrisiian ed ucation were demolished. Then began the rebellion, against law and common justice and humanity, which has widened out 1 ato the present wicseJ esd great rebel lion against the Rational Government. The graves of many of the Cherokee e marked the course they took from the land of their fathers to what is now known as Cha t&nooga, or to the far distant prairie land. Bat the Che rokees had vitality; they had the vitality of civilization aad Christianity. They again established schools and churches atd thus they continued togrow&nd prosper, until this w.cied rebellion out. Their homsa are now desolate, and once more they are at the mercy of inthless invader*. He would' eay that there was no other Government, situated as u was, that was so loyal to the Union; no other Governor be sides the Hon. John Ros*. who did not refuse to pledge the people to rebellion. The character of John Rose was anes that, though the Cherokee nation beat for a time •to the storm, yet those who knew him* well knew that he would come out riiht in the loag run. Men were enlisted for the defence of themselves s gaiast shsir ens* mles.and when the TJ. Slaws army reached there they rushed int« its ranks, and it maybe said that natiouwas the first to return to loyalty to the Union. This, of course, has brought down the vengeance of :he rebels.' who never fail to persecute these pionle whenever they evu -get a-'chauce. They have gone ihrongfc then- lands with the besom of deztraction; men were con -crinled into the lawlets army of the rebel?, and others of the nation escaped to our lines. Thousands of poor r fagees have corns to ns for proietticA—they are men, women, and •children, all exiles of honor; they come to us with out stretched arms ashing for help; they &<k us for as sistance; tl ey want the means to restore their dwelling* and cnce more plant their crops This is the appeal they make. Shall it be m&de in vain? (Jhlef .Ros-j is present * he will address you Colonel Downing, of the loyal •army, who has been in the service two years, is here At this stage of the proceedings, the gallant Colonel, a fine-lcoking specimen of a Cherokee, was personally in troduced. Be was hailed with rounds of applause, during which he modfstiy retired. The Rev. Mr. Van horn. long a missionary among the Cherokee?, will ad dress yon After a few n.ore remarks/oa the subject of furnishing money, seeds, and o her fckingi of aa agricultural nature, the speaker concluded ia a most ear nest and eloquent appeal to the people to he liberal and prompt, and tbu* assist to send these mr-a to their west ern homes with feelings of gratefulness for the gratitude we have *bown them in defending our country from the domestic invader ofthe law and the rights of humanity. Let us show onr gratitude by responding liberally, be •cause this Cherokee nation has nobly stood, In the hour of peril, by ila side of the country. The Rev. Mr. Vanhorn, the Cherokee missionary, was now introduced. He raid that his mission was a simple one; it was to prerent fact* from history, and from his own personal observations. The speaker alluded to tee tte kty and congressional enactments rela tive to the Cherokee ration, and explained how they Were broken by bold bad men of the who ob tained a leverage power to force the Cherokseg from the land of their fethtre. He knew, from his own P9Mottgl knowledge, that the same class of men wore foremost In inAuguraticg.tbepresentrebeUioc. and persecuting the Cherokee nation. Of course, he had long known John Ross* the Chief of the Cherokees. and he knew that he would do all he could to protect his own people, and at the »ame time support the United Stages Govern ment. In illustration of this point he descanted on the severe Inals the chief encountered in trying to ward off -Ir™*®®* 03 * 8 °f the rebels. The Rev. spoke half an nour on the vast amount of suffering by these loyal people, how their lands were impoverished, first hy the rebels ruthlessly, and then by our own army between the two armies they have lost their all.

The bill was sent into Common Council, but was not acted upon, in consequence of which volunteering came to a dead halt. Men were unwilling to enter the service at the risk of losing $5O, which they might get if the ordinance should pass Common Council on Thursday next. The sharpers, who hang around the recruiting Offitfi, hf!d back the recruits in the hope of obtaining the additional bounty. The members of Common Council, however, were not disposed to eonour in the resolution of the other branch, and on this ac count it wss necessary that Select Council should reverse their action. The Finance Committee held a meeting on Mon day evening, at which Generals Hancock and Gib bon were pjesent. It was stated that recruiting had betn entirely stopped, and it was therefore resolved to call a special meeting of Select Council, and re verse their action of the Thursday previous. The special meeting was held yesterday afternoon, when the JoJiowing resolution offered by Mr. Brightly was adopted; Rtsoired* That Common Council ba requested to re port to this Chamber a bill entitled a supplement to the ordinance entitled an ordinance to make an appropria tion for the payment of bountr to volunteers, under the recent call of the President of the United States. The city bounty will therefore continue at $250. St. Patrick's Day. — To-morrow, being the festlval of Ireland's patron saint, will be duly celebrated by the various charitable and beneficial societies composed of our Irish citizens.

The ohoir, accompanied by a full band, yrill be ueder the direction of Prof. Aledo. The feature of the day, to use a Hibernian phraas, will be in the evening, at the Academy of Music. The Rev. Dr. O’Connor, late Bishop of Pittsburg, Will deliver $ lecture on “The Destiny of the Irish Race.” We learn that Dr. O’Comiop is distinguished in the churoh for his eloquence and extensive learn • ing, and a rich intellectual discourse may be ex pected. Elevated for his pi6ty and profound learning to the dignity of a bishop, through the recommenda tion of the late lamented Archbishop Kearick, Dr. O’C. fulfilled its duties with great ability, and made the See of Pittsburg a flourishing diocese. But the humble labors of the simple priest better ac corded with his mind and heart than the honor, dig nity, ar d pomp of the bishop. So sincere was his humility that be resigned the mitre for the cassock of the Jesuit. The proceeds of the lecture are for the benefit of the House of the Good Shepherd, an institution that has rescued a large number of erring females from lives of vice and misery.

A scene of excitement occurred yesterday after noon between two rival olotMcrs on Second street, below Chestnut, which came very near ending in the tableau of tragedy, through the medium of a shovel in the hands of one of the parties. The excitement on that busy thoroughfare for a short time wag ra ther intense. The names of the actor* io this melo dramatic spectacle are Abraham Friday, Philip Schoenemann, and Mrs. Friday, the wife of the first named. It appears from all that we can learn of this some what sanguinary affair, that Mr. Schoenemann was standing in his door, ready to sell clothiug to any person who desired to invest in such an indis pensable article. It also seems that Mr. Friday was perfectly willing to do’the same thing. It U further stated that a man was leisurely walking along, looking at the goods displayed in front of the stores. “ Dooms in; I shells you seheap,” said Mr. Sohoe nemann, in the pleasantest manner possible. 1 ou cooms dees way,” said Mr. Friday, follow ing tb© supposed customer; “dees ish ter sthore vere ve shell ver •heaps.” Mr. Schoenemann then said something else, which elioited a reply, not very complimentary, it is aveired, on the part of « Mr. Friday.” Presently, Mrs. Friday relnforoed her husband, and opened her battery of volubility in suoh a man ner that the customer made a straight coat-tail and disappeared. The people Stopped, Of course; their eurioiity was excited. Thßy all seemed to enjoy the rich seene before them,when, presently, Mr. Friday, it is alleged, picked up a big iron shovel, from the hardware store, front of Mr. Richardson, near bv, and with the weapon uplifted, made a charge on Mr. Soboenemann, who retreated. Mr. Friday followed up and drove his ndvenary into the very entrenoh zneat afforded by toe store, where he dealt him a tremendous blow. Mr Sotyenemann threw up his arm and received the blow, which, he says, was intended for his head. His wrist was pretty badly .gashed with toe edge of the shovel. He had his wound dressed at the Phila delphia Dispensary. The police were speedily on toe ground and took Mr. Friday and his wife into custody. The husband desired to go back to put his coat cn. This request was granted, but he effected his escape by this means from the official. The wife was then taken before the poiice magistrate, who, after patiently investigating the case, required her to enter bail to answer at court the charge of aiding and abetting her husband in assault and battery upon Mr, Sohonemann, with intent to kill. (Before Hr. Alderman Welding. 3 Children Provided, wltli Homes. Two little ohildren, whose mother is a habitual drunkard, residing, living, or staying on Baker street, were taken into custody yesterday by Officer Adams, The youngsters were suffering phyilcally as well as morally, because of toe maternal intem perance. It seems the father of these children had beaten the mother in a cruel and brutal manner. It was such a case as might well excite the humanity of even a police officer; therefore, the neglected ohildren were taken in charge. One was sent to the House of toe Good Sheppard) aad the other to the St. Vincent Home, [Before Mr. Alderman Devlin. 3 Row in a Restaurant. About three o’clock yesterday morning the police made a descent upon a restaurant near Market and Ninth street*, and arrested the proprietor and his wife, and everybody else found therein, George Swan and Frederica, hie wife, were charged with keeping the place. Upon her person was found a loaded pistol, for which ahe was held to bail to an swer. Her husband was held to bail in the sum of $BOO to answer toe charge of keeping a disorderly house. The names given by the remainder of the parties are William H. Kern, John B, Hunter, Franklin Williams, and George Hammel, all of whom were put UDder bonds to be of future good be havior and to keep the peace. [Before Hr. Alderman Haines. ] Goins into the Black Diamonds* Richard Bloomer was arraigned yesterday on the charge of purloining coal from the yard of Mr. Rogers, at CallowMll and Twelfth streets. It is alleged that the defendant had been mining among the coal in this yard during the winter, and peddling the article thus obtained about the neighborhood. He was watohed, and finally on Monday night he was caught in the very act of taking the coal. The sum of $BOO bail was required for his appearance at the criminal court. THE COURTS. Supreme Court at Nisi Priua-Judge Agnew. Mary R. Burton vs. James Fulton et al. This was an action to recover damage* for fth alleged ma licious conspiracy on the p»t of defendants, who were school directors of the Fourteenth ward, to de prive plaintiff of a position held by her as a teacher in the Monroe Sohool, in Buttonwood street, near Eleventh. Miss Burton, while discharging her duty as a teacher, received a note from defendants, signed by James Fulton as chairman of a committee, noti fying her that toe interests of the school required a change of the principal, and requesting her to re sign, which she did. It is now alleged on the part of plaintiff that there was no cause for the' change: that the school was well conducted, and, under plaintiff’s management, had greatly increased in the number of pupils, and that there was a marked im provement in toe Average attendance of scholars. It was further alleged that the action of the de fendants was not that of a majority of the commit tee, which consisted of six members, three of whom only aoted upon the resolutions upon which was based the note addressed to Miss Burton, requesting her to resign; that her conduct as a teacher had been irreproachable, and that the action of the com mittee was malicious, and tended to injure plaintiff's character and reputation as a teacher. Evidence for plaintiff having been heard, defendants’ counsel moved for a non- suit, which was argued by F. U. Brewster for defendants, and by H. M. Phillips for plaintiff. The court held the motion under advise ment, and adjourned until this morning. Court of Quarter Sessions- anclge Allison. Commonwealth vs. Edward Parker The defend ant pleaded guilty, some months ago, to a charge of assault and battery on Lewis Albertson, with Intent to hill. Yesterday he wss called up for sentence. This affair occurred at Guy’s saloon, in Seventh street, and seems to have been a deliberate attempt to take life. According to the facts, Albertson was sitting in Guy’s, when Parker entered, and without provocation shot him with a pistol, and out him across the face with a knife. Much time has elapsed since the perpetration or this oftence, and plea of guilty, and it is believed that many effort! iiave been made to lessen toe punishment which ought to be Imposed in a ease like it. It la but jußt to Judge Allison to say, that if applications tending to that end were made to him, be disregarded them, and imposed a punish ment which ought to prove an example to men who ate ready at a moment’s notice to use deadly wea pons without or upon the slightest provocation. Albertson, in detailing the facts of the case to the judge, stated that he did not desire the court to Im pose Imprisonment as part of the sentence. He said, however, in addition, that he supposed that It would make no difference, as he was Informed that Parker, the defendant, had hls pardon now in Ms pocket. Judge Allison then, after reviewing the facts of the case as detailed, sentenced Parker to pay a fine of twenty dollars, and undergo an Imprisonment of six months’ In the county prison. In the Common Pleas, Judge Ludlow, there was nothing of interest. BOABD OT WUDIL EDMUND S n s R onDK E . \ Goi “ n ™« « ™ *»n. MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
