Bill before the City An ordinance of general importance te the publie, and which, a couple of years ago, was considered with unanimous favor by joint committees of the two Chambers, is now a prominent topic before Councils, The wood trade has been for some time a very exorbitant monopoly, and the ordinance, therefore, proposes that some public wharves on the Delaware and Sohuylkill shall be used for the recep tion and sale of cord wood, under inspection of sworn measurers or corders. The grievance to be remedied is well set forth in the important memorial just addressed to Councils by a number of citizens of high reipeot&blllty—Mr. Dioklnson, president of Guardians of the Poor; Mr. S. H. Perkins, presi dent of the Union Benevolent Association; George H. Stuart, president of the Home Missionary So ciety j A. Miskey, president of the Trustees of the City Gas Works; Messrs. Binney, MeOalh. Gerhard, Townsend, Colwell, Learning, Cuyler, Wood, Hazelhurst, Whilldin, Learning, loger* soli, Drayton, and others. This memorial shows that in 1862 the oltizens of Philadelphia and New Jersey memorialized Councils on the subject of the sale of cord wood, and submitted a memorial from the Legislature of New Jersey—also a state ment of the prloea of wood paid by tbe renters of the public wharves, and the prices of the same to consumers, which papers are submitted herewith, showing that a grievous monopoly existed, to the great injury Cf producers and consumers, and that cord wood was without an Inspector or Measurer to do justice between the seller and purchaser, although the office of wood corder had been created by the Legislature; And confirmed by repeated aots. This subject and . the papers were submitted to a Joint Committee of Councils, who made a unanimous re port in favor of the application, and recommended the passage of an ordinance granting oertain publio wharves on the Delaware and Schuylkill for the re ception and sale of cord wood, and appointing cord dersto superintend the same, as upon reference to the journal of Common Council 1862, appendix. No, 121, page 653, will more fully appear. * The Select Council on the 16th of April, 1861, passed the accompanying bill and sent it to Com' mon Council, who, on the 14th of May, 1863, re ferred it to a oommittee of three—this committee never made a report, and thus the object of the me morialists was defeated. They would further state that the evils complained of have greatly increased the present year, and that' they are intolerable. They submit the following fsots: The low prices allowed by the renters of wood, have not paid the owners the actual expense of outting, carting, and freighting to the city, have prevented wood from being out in New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland, and have driven the vessels out of the trade, thus lessening the sup ply of this necessary or life. In June last, good oak wood was selling on the landings in Cape May county, at $3 00 per cord, the freight being $l.OO 'per cord, while the renters sold it here for $7.00 to $8 00 per cord* This tali wood was only $4 in New Jersey, and was landed here for $6 50 to $6, which was all the renters allowed for it, while they sold-it to the consumers at from $8.50 to $ll per cord for common oak or pine. This mono poly falls hard upon tbe poorer classes, who are the principal eontumeri of wood* and the Board of Guardians have to pay- the ae - extravagant prices. The income of the city will be greatly increased by the tax on wood after paying , the corders* salaries. In 186-2 the Board of Guardians purchased from par ties in New Jersey 265 cords oak wood at $3.50 per cord, landed at the Almshouse wharf, while they had to pay the’renters from $5 to $6 50 per cord for wood delivered to the poor in x* and The trustees of the Gas Works have purchased annually, for se veral years, 2,600 to 3,000 cords pine wood from pro ducers, delivered on the Schuylkill, at the works, at prices much less than the sales of the renters to the Guardians, Girard Trust Benevoleut Institu tions, and individuals. The memorialists ask the passage of ihe ordinance herewith. For plain reasons It is highly necessary that the bill reoomminded should pais Councils. Its objects are, in brief, a large increase of tbe supply of wood, much reduction in price, and augmentation of the city revenue. The ordinance is as tallow*: An ordinance to regulate the cording and sale of wood on the public landings and wharves of the city of Philadelphia. Section l. The Select and Common Councils of tbe oily of Philadelphia do ordain, That the wharves belonging to the city of Philadelphia at Davis 1 land ing, Almond, Callowhill, and Poplar streets, on tbe river Delaware, and at Walnut and Pine streets, on the river Schuylkill, shall be Bet apart for the laud ing, storage, and sale of cord wood at the expiration of tbe present leases of the same,-or sooner, if sur rendered by tbe lessee thereof. Sue. 2. That the City Councils* in joint conven tion, so soon as the said wharves are ready for the reception of cord wood, shall elect a corder for each wharf, who shall hold their offices for the term of two years, unless sooner removed by Councils, at a sala ry of six hundred dollars each per annum, payable monthly, whose duty it shall be to attend to the re ception, storage, sales, and delivery of all wood landed on the Same, and shall charge the owners of the wood'flftfen cents for wharfage on each cord, and the purchasers ten"cents for cordage pec cord, and Bhall pay the same weekly to the Commissioner of Markets; and it shall be the duty of said corders to see that all wood shall be of the length required by law; that it be piled properly, and to the required height; and should any wood be received less than the length, a due allowance shall be required of the owner of such' wood, and it shall be piled of suffi cient height to make up the deficiency in length. And said corders may make advances on wood not sold and the proceeds not collected, to the owner thereof, and shall be entitled to charge not more than five per cent, on the sums so advanced as a commission; and they shall sell the wood and pay the owners the proceeds thereof so soon as collected. No corder shall purchase any wood for the purpose of reselling the same. They shall each give a bond in the sum of two thousand dollars for the faithful performance of their duties. Sec. 3. The said corders shall have the power when called upon in cases of dispute to measure any corded wood landed on any private wharf. And the decision thereon shall be final and conclusive, and for such service they shall receive five cents for each cord measured, from tbe party requiring their ser vices. THE WAR, A Disciplinary Order from General Jack Magnider, As some doubt still exists among the troops as to the permanence as cavalry of those regiments which have been dismounted, General Magnifier again takes occasion to assure the troops that he shall keep all of the regiments la service as cavalry which have been recently dismounted; that he prefers to have these regiments march on horseback and fight on foot, provided their officers will perfect them in the infantry drill, and that nothing but an absolute necessity, aris ing from scarcity of forage, or where railroads offer a more rapid transportation, will induce him to dismount his cavalry regiments; and further, that, when so dismounted, it will be but temporarily, un less, in the case of regiments which, having the op portunities, will not avail themselves of them, to perfect them in infantry drill, so essential to the suc cess cf our arms and the safety of the men them selves. He also again urges upon the officers and men the imperative necessity of taking care of their bayonets, however inconvenient it may be to do so, and upon the officers the duty of preparing bayonet scabbards of rawhides, as previously ordered, The commanding general avails hiMSdlf Of this opportunity to notice the fact that Terrell 1 * regi ment lost not a man by desertion when ordered to be dismounted, notwithstanding the example set them by some others. He holds the officers respoaai* ble lor the conduct of his men, and hereby oalls upon Item to use their weapons at all hazards against those who attempt to desert under any circum stances, or who may be guilty of mutiny, or of aid ing, abetting, joining in, or exciting the same; and in all cases where efficient steps are not taken by the commanding officers to prevent and punish such crime, they will be arrested and brought before a general court martial for trial, conviction, and punishment. In cases where troops temporarily dismounted are moved from one'locallty to another, their horses will also be removed to places which are convenient to the men, and where forage, at the same time, can be procured. It is to be understood that the short marches occasionally required to be done by the troops of the regiments temporarily dismounted, when their horses cannot be procured in time, are sot to be considered as violations of the assurances held out by this order, and are only here alluded to by the commanding general to prevent a mlsinter § rotation by bis troops, with whom he shall always eal. as he has ever done, with frankness and truth* By command of Msj. Gen, J. B, M&GM&TJDJBR, E. p. Turner, Asst. Adjt. Gen. WHAT THB REBELS THINK AND PBBTEND TO THINK OF BHEBMAN’9 MOVEMENT, The Richmond Despatch thinks that the junction of cavalry with Sherman at Meridian was the key to the whole movement: “If successful, Sherman would have been in a condition to advanoe upon Demopolis and Selma, or Mobile ; and these important points, as well as the rich countries adjacent, would have been at the mercy ,of the ecemy. They could only hove been driven bsck at tne enormous risk or weakening John,ton’, aimy, 10 a. to open Northern Georgia and Rome and Atlanta to Grant’, army.” And here the repul,e of our oavalry la explained ■‘Great waa their .urprlae when, »• they ap proached Forrest’, line, they observed hie men illp from their hor.es, and, converting themselves into infantry, each man taking the most favorable post* tion, availing themselves of every advantage the ground afforded, and awaiting with the utmost eool. ness the impetuous charge of the Yankee chivalry. On came the splendidly-mounted dragoon,, under thee far-famed Yankee chiefs. Smith and Grierson, with such fierce displays of valor and determination as argued badly for Forrest’s infantry soouts, nat tered through the busbea and over the prairie in rather an irregular and unmilitary style. But these valorous horsemen did not advance far before the balls of two thousand riflemen began to rattle through their ranks with fearful effect. “A, soon as the new. of this disaster reaohed Sherman he began hi, retrograde movement toward the Mississippi, Lee following him Up and hanging on hi, hanks and harassing him eontlnually. When last hear d from he was dragging hi, wearied, broken down column back to Vicksburg, in a demoralized state, the most mortified, disappointed, and dis gusted chief who ever led ten thousand men up the hill and then marched them down again.” The Mobile Register pretends to I ketch the Yan kee plan a. follows: “The original programme, as thus far developed, appears to have been a masterly one, but fortunate ly the ability of the Yankees has not been oommen surste with their ambition. Sherman, having under his command fhe corps of Hurlbut and MoPhenon, waa to preeipitaie himself upon Folk, and force the Confederate forces into a disadvantageous engage* moDt between Jaokson and Meridian, while the ene my’s mounted body, under Smith and Grierson, was to move down upon the rear of Polk’s army, and ao complUh the double purpose of harassing hts retreat and seizing the grain country for the suoststence of Sherman. Farragut should appear off Mobile, and by bombardment threaten the city, preventing its garriion from going to the succor of the army la Mississippi, while Banks was to move up the Pearl river to a suitable point at whloh to establish his bsse, and then march to the rear of Mobile, making an investment of that place, and throwing himself within supporting distance of Sherman. This would cut off communication by the Alabama and Tombig bee, and make these rivers a back entrance by which Banks could threaten Selma in flank and rear, while Sherman pushed boldly on In front.” A MOTION TO BBECT BAST TBNNBSSBB INTO A SE- TARATH BTATB* [Frrm the Chattanooga Gazette. Harcb 13.1 The Nashville Times publishes the call for the Nathville-Greenevllle Convention, and asks : What is upt Does Kast Tennessee Intend to eeparate from re bt lli.u, Middle and West Tennessee, and organize a separate State ala West Virainlal We would not be surprised if this should happen. We are not authorized to announce tbe intentions of the gentlemen who may attend the meeting on the 16tb, nor can we say what their action may be, 4tcf toe can end will cay, that there is a deep scat-d determiner tion tn the part of the loyal people of East Tennessee to sever the political ties which have lona bound them to "rebellious* 9 Middle and West Tennessee. The people of this section, long before the war* bad just oause of complaint against the people or Middle and West Tennessee in the aggregate. Every occasion was embraced to heap on our heads contumely and reproach- We have been taunted tar our poverty, and flouted for our alleged ignorance. We have been aneeringly told that we were pecu niarily a burden to our fellow*Oltizens on the other side of the mountains, and that we were, socially, a disgrace to the State. For many yeats, we were never permitted to havo a chief magistrate eboaea from our section, and would not until this good hour, had not the necessities of the Democratic party compelled them to make a candidate out of the only man in the State that they could elect—Andrew Johnson. This was before the war. After the surrender of Fort Sumpter, and the rush of aimed traitors to capture the Federal oapital, the leaden of Middle and West Tennesiee* aided by the miscreants in our own midst, inaugurated a system of vindictive persecution* against East Tenaei.ee almost incredible. A universal bowl for the blood of East Tenneiieeana waa raiae.i in ever; town and county in Middle and Well Tenne.jee. The num bers imprisoned like felona, whipped like slaves, and bung like murderers, attest tbe fearful success of those monsters in Sunn .Rape. A still more numerous class only escaped these miseries by pre cipitate flight to the mountains. After all these things, is it to be wondered at that the people of East Tennessee should desire to cut aloof from those who have never been their friends t personal. A Washington letter says: " Hope- are enter tained that the Emperor of the French will send ae minister, in place of Count Mercler, MonslourU. H. P. Gtauldree BoUleau, now Athens. Ifcfcwas at tached to the Faenoh legation here a dozen or fifteen years ago, and while here he married one oi the three daughters of Colonel Benton. It is a notioe able faot, that a large proportion of the unmarried foreign diplomats who have come to this country have married American ladies. The example was set by the Marquis Yrujo, when the republican court was held at Philadelphia. The Spaniard, who afterward was quite a prominent politician at Ma drid, married a daughter oi Judge McKean, of Phils delphls, and soon afterward Sir Alexander Baring, subsequently here as LiorU Ashburton, married a daughter of Senator Bingham.” ' The Vallandlgham family entertain feelings of admiration, not to say love, for the negro race in general, the female sex in particular, that is in. credible. The race has furnished the stock in trade and tbe speech-inspiring theme or-the Ohio martyr for a number of years. But the younger members of the family outstrip him in their affections for the “down-trodden African.” Perley Vallandlgham, <* a youth to fortune and to fame unknown,” but nevertheless a nephew of the great Ohio martyr, is married to and lives with a negro woman In this eity. His brother, living on the opposite side of the river, is also married to a negress.— Muscatine Jour nal. A correspondent writes the following correc tion of a paragraph in yesterday’.Peers.- ” Miss Burdett Courts is the daughter of Sir Franols Bur dett, and the granddaughter of Coutts, the banker. The latter married Miss Mellon, the actress, to whom Coutts left' his property. After Coutts’ death she married the Duke of St. Albans, and left her property to Miss Angelina Burdett, who took the name of Coutts.” —Two more of Brigham Young’s sons arrived from Salt Lake. Their names were Jos, W. and Jos. A. Young, respectively; for be it -known that Brigham has so many children (or rather his wives have) that be can’t afford to give them all a separate name. The two Messrs. Young made diligent inquiry after their brother who paeeed through here the first of the present week. The elder of the two Joseph Youngs who last arrived, we should think a man of thirty year, of age, if not older, while the other Yeung was younger. They left on the train for the East this morning.—Si. Joseph News, The will of the late President Hitchcook, of Amherst, estimates his property at about $lB,OOO, with no incumbrances, all of whieh he gives to his children. His collection of Bird Tracks was given to Amherst College. The cabinet of FobbUs, em bracing about half of the Woods’ oabinet, was given to hia son Charles, who fills a professorship in that institution. Another person known to fame is also gathered to his fathers. William Miles, author of ” Miles on the Howe’STcot,” and other valuable works on veterinary suigery, died yesterday at Cork. His veterinary works are among the moat valuable in the language, and only equalled by thoan of the late Bracy Clarke. Thus death continues to reap his harvest, General Sigel, who has just assumed eommand of the Department of West Virginia, had a narrow escape from capture by the rebels a few days sinoe. While in Martinsburg he rode outside hia picket Hues for tome reason, and just at that moment's force of two hundred rebels rode between the Gene ral and hia lines. Had they known of his presence, they could have captured him with ease. —lt was denied, some time since, that Mrs. Dou glas wsb officiating as a clerk in the Treasury De partment. The Washington correspondent of the fPieconsin says, however, that" passing through the Treasury- Department the other day, I met Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas, who is filling the duties of a twelve hundred dollar clerkship in that depart ment.” Giuglini recently appeared in St. Petersburg, and his rendering of a cantata so enchanted a noble lady that she sent him a magnificent sledge, har nessed to a fiery horse, in acknowledgment oi the pleasure derived from hia performance. MISCELLANY. The American Flag Fiber Upon from Fobt Preble.— The Port!and (Me.) Advertiser of Friday mek contains the following: Yesterday afternoon as the cutter Miami was passing Fort Preble she was saluted by a blank shot from one of the guns of the fort. As the vessel was flying the American en alpo, andL&fi her numbers set, in accordance with the regulations of the department, she deemed that all was right and kept on her course. Immediately after, one of the barbette guns of the fort opened with a shell, whioh struok the water a short dis tance from the vessel, and, ricocheting, passed over her between the foremast and forestay, passing but little more than a foot above the heads of three of the crew who were on deck, the wind, from the shot turning them completely around, affectingthem seri ously forsome hours afterward. The shell burst soon after passing over the vessel, but did no damsge. Lieut. Fengar immediately hove to and waited for a boat from shore, None oime, however, and a boat was sent from the vessel to demand an expla nation. A sort of half-hipped apology waß given, saying that they feared he was flying the ensign as a blind, and they deemed it their duty to bring him to. This, no doubt, was All very well, and com mendable in the officers of the fort, had the vessel had no other signals flying. It would be well,perhaps, to furnish the officers of our forts with a marine eode of signals, so that they may know who they are dealing with, aod when not to open their batte ries. We understand the matter is to be referred to Washington* The Bomb Table at thh Nbw York Fair,— There is to be a remakable attraction to the ap proaching Fair for the Sanitary Commission in New York city, In the shape of a table laden with works of art from American artists at Rome, and with a vsriety of rare and curious gifts from our friends and countrymen, and countrywomen in that city.
