The old heroic spirit
Revives In this our time;
Bold hearts are found to do and dare
As In the past sublime ;
Nor only in the stricken field,
Or 'neath the bastion steep,
But men who add to our old fame
Upon the rolling deep ;
There's—let a single one sumo +
Why name a thousand names;
There's Admiral McClellan,
Our Farragut of the Jamea.
Paul Jones was not a coward ;
Decatur, too, was brave;
And many glorious things each did
Upon the surging wave;
And Essex, Bainbridge, Porter, Hull,
Were valiant in their day,
And kept the honor of our flag
In many a glorious fray;
But none of these deserved the praise
He had of knights and dames,
Like Admiral McClellan,
Our Farragut of the James.
For far the Cannon thundered;
The fight was fierce and fell;
The mad Magruder urged his men
Into our fire of hell ;
And column after column sank
Before our guns away,
As after many a victory
And flight we stood at bay;
q'was at the bidding of our chief
We had fled, and no one blames
Our Admiral McClellan,
Our Farragut of the James.
And now the beaten foernen
Fled howling far away,
And the road to Richmond, so 'Us said,
Open before us lay;
And then we sought our general
To lead us there—but he,
As our cannon with tha dawn burst forth,
Had vanished suddenly;
Why should& chlef expose his life 4
Alt! surely no one blames
OurZAdmiral McClellan,
Our Farragut of the Jamas.
But, thinking of surrender,
We found him down the stream,
Aboard his gunboat; with our news
We woke him from his dream,
And straight he drew his pen, and soon
A lengthy letter sent,..
Full of what should and should not be
Done by4ie President, •
Oh, iron hearts and wooden ships !
Deserves ho'not the mimes,
Rear Admiral McClellan,
And Farragut of the James I
Now witness it, ye fishes,
How our little Nelson went
A Triton among`the* minnowB,
Lord of his element I
For land's not worth the having
When there's water to be saved,
And all the dangers of the deep
The little admiral braved.
Oh, witness it, ye mermen,
Are noc his titles meet 1

An Appeal to the Soldiers.
[For The Press.]
Strong arras of the nation of stout hearts and
brave,
Who fight for•our country. and Union to save,
In this hour of danger to, you we appeal,
To Strike with your voices, as well as your steel..
You nobly have done, as each field will attest,
Where your blood has been shed, and your.comrades
now rest;.. -
But from foe on your front you have little to fear,
COMpared to the traitors who stab in your rear.
They show the pale cheek, and " Cessation," they
cry,
When victory dawns, and the triumph is nigh,
And, vaunt that they did not, and would not again
Vote a min or a dollar your cause to sustain;
Speak light of your victories, as subjects for jest,
And cry "Habeas corpus," Illegal arrest,"
" Constitutional rights," not for you, but the kna'ves
Whom you meet in your struggles as masters of
slaves.
The war for the Union they seek to pervert,
And boldly, defiantly, falsely, assert
That the battles you win, and the dangers you face
Have brought on your country eternal disgrace ;
Speak light of our Union, ignoring its charms,
But have nothing to say against rebels in arms,
And vauntingly point to your comrades in graves
As a Sacrifice made for the freedom of slaves.
Then resent the foul lie; let them know that you
fight
For Union, Liberty, Freedom, and Right.
Let ' 6 them know by your voices, as well as your
blows,
That you stand by the Union, and not by its foes.
Are your efforts in vain 1 Shall the battles you've
fought
And the deeds of your valor be counted as naught?
No, by the Eternal, the Union shall stand,
And the loud shout of Freedom shall ring through
the land.
Thus, soldiers, your country calls on you again,
That your blood and your valor may not be in vain.
It calls you once more—let your enemies feel
That for Union your voice is as strong as your steel.
Yes, soldiers and freemen, you nobly have done,
As each field will attest yea, each victory won
Speaks loud for your valor—speaks loud for your
might;
Then strike with your voice in the cause of the
rieht,

To Me Editor of The Press
Sue : Accept the thanks of one individual, and I
might well add of thousands, for your courage in
speaking out in regard to the late accident on the
Pennsylvania Railroad. The Press appears to be
the only Philadelphia paper possessing enough in
dependence to do so, and the community thanks you
for your courage. Accidents occur almost daily on
various roads, but all accounts are suppressed.
Their origin often arises from the fact that many of
the companies are too penurious to advance the pay
of their tried hands, and have been compelled to
put on now. men—" Green hands," as they are
termed. Corporations making such large sums of
money should at least be liberal enough to preserve
the lives of those who give them wealth and power.
I am yours, truly, Ciao.

McClellan' s Record.
!Co the Editor of The Press
SIR : I take the following from a book entitled
"The Battlefields of the South," written by an
officer in the rebel service, page xvi of the Introduc
tion. It speaks for itself:
" It may not be generally known, but men of high
position and great veracity have said, in Richmond,
that McClellan offered his services to the South
when the war began, and that he asked to command
a division. He was answered that if his heart was
in the cause let him join the ranks, like Longetreet
and others, and fight his way up to that position.
There are documents which put tale question beyond
dtspute.,,
The book in question was published in 1884, by
John Bradburn; No. 49 Walker street, New York,
and can be seen at the Mercantile Library, in this
city, class 28 A, No. 597.

By the time Mr. MoiVilohael was through with
his remarks the throng had increased to such an
extent that It became necessary to organize another
meeting. Accordingly, a temporary. stand • was
erected. on York street, in the rear of the main
gathering:. Eloquent and effective speeches wore
delivered here by Mr. John L. Shoemaker, Mr.
John Pesch, of Washington, and Mr. Peter Fasel,
which were enthusiastically applauded.
At the main stand a series of resolutions were read
by Mr. J. Fletcher Budd, affirming the devotion of
the people of the Third distriot to the Government
in the present crisis, and pledging the vote of the
district to Lincoln and Johnson, Myers, and the
whole ticket. The resolutions were adopted amidst
the wildest cheering and enthusiasm. •
At a late hour the meeting adjourned with nine
cheers for the nominees of the party.
After the adjournment was carried, a large con
course of citizens, headed by the brass band in at
tendance, proceeded. to the residence of Mr. Andrew
J. Holman and gavVhim a serenade. In response
to numerous calls, Mr. Holman appeared and de
livered an address. He stated that, like Mr.
Wartbman, the president of the meeting, he had
always, to within a short time, been an earnest and
active member of the Democratic party. His
opinions, however, had recently undergone a great
change. He could not, as formerly, tight under the
banner of that party, because he was unconditionally
for the Union and the Government. With his sons
in the army battling against rebellion, he felt that
he could not do otberwisli than sustain thorn by ,
every means in his power. Hence he was de
termined at the ensuing election to cast his vote for I
the nominees of the Union party. Upon the con
clusion of Mr. Holman's remarks, he was greeted
with three cheers, and, after the performance of a
select piece of music 10 , the band, the assemblage
quietly dispersed, all gratified with the soul-stirring
events of the evening. -

MILITARY SCHOOL FOR OFFICERS.
The Free Military School for applicants for com
mand of colored troops having closed for want of
funds, the chief preceptor, Colonel John H. Tag
gart, has established another school in the building
occupied by the Supervisory Committee, No. 1210
Chestnut street, in which the same branches aro
taught as in the late free institution, at a moderate
charge for each student. Candidates are also pre
pared for examination for commissioned officers of
the Veteran Reserve Corps. The Free Military
School was highly successful, and ri established a
truly national reputation, and the new enterprise
promises to be equally prosperous. Good officers
tor colored troops are still in demand, owing to the
large number of regiments being organized in the
Western, Southwestern, and Eastern States, and
the school .111 charge of Col. T. is well worthy the
attention of those desirous of entering this branch
of the service. There is little doubt that, after the
close of the war, the colored troops will form a large
portion of the standing army of the Government.

STEAM-ENGINES WASHED.
During an alarm of fire between two and three
o'cicck yesterday afternoon, the steam-engine Phi
ladelphia, and that of the Hope, came in contact
with each other at Fourth and Spruce streets, and
resulted in almost the entire wreck of both. The
Philadelphia was going down Fourth street at an
Immoderate rate of speed on the railroad track ; the
Hope was proceeding down Spruce street at an im
moderate rate of speed also. The drivers turned
their horses to save them, and In this' they suc
ceeded. The driver of the Hope, named Daly, was
slightly hurt by the collision. The engines were
bent, broken, sprung, wrenched, and the boiler-flues
perhaps displaced. • •
There is a general breakdown of prioeS. An auc
tion sale of wool, Wednesday, showed a decline of
8 cents a pound from tart month's quotations. The
present exorbitant prices for articles of food and
clothing, In a great majority of cases, result from
pure avarice, rather than from any necessary rea
son. A manufacturer of beaver cloths for overcoat
lags remarked a few days ago that three years ago
it cost him $3 a yard to manufacture his goods, and
he sold them for $3.50. Now it cost him $4 a yard
to manufacture them, and he sold them for $B. And
that not a solltariinstance, by any means. The
time was when men were content with fair and re
munerative prilta, and that time muatreturn again.
The people are beginning to understand that It is
not the price of gold or the scarcity of articles that
causes much of the advance in the price of necessa
ry articles, but the greedy thirst for greenbacks.
They are not willing to pay 100 per cent. profit upon
what leper cent. was considered ample a short time
ago, and manufacturers and dealers will have to
shape their course accordingly. Prices of every
thing must come down, and business men will pre
pare for the emergency.

IMMENSE MEETING IN THE THIRD DISTRICT—
MORE DEMOCRATS FALL INTO LINE.
The mass meeting of the friends of Lincoln, John
son, and Myers, held on Saturday evening, at the
intersection of Frankford road and York street,
Nineteenth ward, was a grand and Imposing demon
stration. Instead of a large gathering, as is usual
under the best auspices on such occasions, this meet
ing- was something more—it was an immense: and
enthusiastic outpouring of the people. Long be
fore the hour appointed for the organization of the
assemblage, the spacious area in front of the - ros
trum was crowded by a dense mass of human beings,
while thousands more were collected for some dis
tance down the Frankford road, all patiently-await
ing the arrival of the speakers. The main stand
was erected at the entrance to the building
known as the Morse Institute. - It was large
and commodious, and was gaily decked with
flags, banners, and lanterns, bearing numerous and
appropriate devices and mottoes, Immediately over
the stand a balcony extended along the whole front
of the building. This was also festooned with flags,
and was occupiediby a brass band. which at inter
vals discoursed excellent music. The second-story
room of the Temperance Hall, on the opposite side
of York street, used as a reading-room and head. -
quarters by the members of the Minerva Literary
Association,
was handsomely illuminated for the oc
casion, and from every window flags and transpa."
reticles were suspended, which added greatly to the
beauty and animation of the scene.

The president., upon taking the chair, made a
short speech, in which, alter returning thanks for
the honor accorded him in being called to preside
over such a vast audience, he spoke forcibly upon
the momentous character of the Issues Involved in
the present canvass. During his remarks he stated
that he had hitherto always been a Democrat. For
more than twenty years he had supported the prin
ciples and candidates of .that party earnestly and
conscientiously, but latterly the conviction had been
forced upon his mind that his old associates had
abandoned their ancient landmarks, and, Instead of
being unconditionally for the Union, they were aid
ing to their utmost the traitors in the South by their
factious opposition to the Government in its efforts
to subdue rebellion. [lmmense cheering.] He
could therefore; no longer go with them. Hence
forth ho was for the Union and the Union nominees,
at all times and under all ciroumstanees. [Renew.
ed cheers.]

ROBBERY OP .POSTAGE STAMPS.
Simon Strauss was arraigned on Saturday on the
charge of receiving postage stamps knowing the
setae to have been stolen. The arrest was made by
Messrs. James A. McDevitt and John A. W. Clan
Voe, of the detective police force of Washington,
assisted by George Cabman" and E. Carlin,Of the
Philadelphia detectives. The arrest, was made
on• Wednesday, at which time the accused was
committed for a hearing that took place on Satur
day, ' and terminated in the committal of the ac
cused in default of $6,000 bail. It seems
that the:Washington detectives arrested on the
20th inst., George W. Alexander, who, until recent.
ly, was an attache of the post,office at Washington,
and Benjamin F. Wilkins, who at the time of the
arrest was a confidential clerk in the Department.
It was the business of these two prisoners to receive
and.destroy all damaged postage-stamps, the num
ber of which was very large. ,Instead of destroying
them they wore sold to other parties, to the extent,
it is said, of thousands of dollars. Strauss' house
was thoroughly searched, and a number , of letters
from Alexander relating to the nefarious business
Wore'found there. A few postagerstamps were also

The following is the gist of .the evidence elicited
at the hearingbefore the Mayor

Washing,ton, testified that some five or Six thousand
stamps had, been stolen from the Department.
Benjamin F. 'Wilkins and George W. Alexander

Washington, Both had been connected .with the
Department. Wilkins had charge of the damaged
stamps returned by postmasters. IL R. Wharton
testified that he called upon Strauss on the 18th,' at
his housei No. 1400 Mervine street, and showed him
a paper having theriame G-go W. Alexander. upon
it. After some conversation, during which Strauss
became satisfied that =Wharton was to be trusted,
witness told him that - he had some 15,000 stamps
which he wanted to sell-the same that Alexander
hid promised to bring Win previonkly: Strauss said
it would be better if he could get $20,000 or $30,000
worth ; witness told him that - he did not know
whether any more could be had, but would let him
know whether he could get $30,000 or $40,000 worth;
Strauss admitted having got $l,BOO worth of stamps
from Alexander, and paid him $B,OOO, two gold
watches, valued at $5O each, also, another lot for
which he paid a valuable gold watch.
,A number of lettersisigned George W. Alexttn
der, found in the. house of Strauss, were identified
as the writing of Alexander. They referred to c , busi
ness," but did not say anything In regard to the na
ture of it.
William D. Warne testified that defendant often
came to his store and purchased articles ; he lately
offered stamps in trade, and said that ho got thorn
from a party in the book business in California.
Stamps amounting to $1,338 were taken. They were
principally 24 or 90 cent stamps.
George W. Russell, jeweller, testified that in No
vember last defendant purchased goods amounting
either to $9O or $lOO, offering payment in three-cent
stamps, which he said he had got from a sutler ; the
stamps were taken at the face value ; in December,
1863, defendant bought two diamond pins and a ring,
but didn't pay for them for some time ; on January
22, 1864, be paid the bill, $66, in stamps, as agreed
upon ; he asked that larger stamps might be taken,
as he had a lot of them ; on March Ist he paid ano
ther bill of $B6 in stamps.
Detective McDevitt, of Washington, testified that
he went to Strauss' house with Detectives Calanan
and Carlin, of this city, and saw Mr. Calanan take
from Strauss' pocket a slip of paper with Wharton's
name upon it, and also some ninety-cent stamps ;
he also broke the picture of Alexander from an Al
bum, by permission of Mrs. Strauss.
It se alleged that the thieving- has been going on
for two or three years. The defendant was required
to enter bail in the sum of $6,000 to answer at court.
The amount of stamps stolen'is variously anima ,
ted, some asserting that $lO,OOO will cover all /0881)13,
while others put the losses at as high a figure as
$15,000, $26,000, and - even 430,000. The exact amount
will be ascertained in a" few days. - Wilkins' duty
was to destroy damaged stamps returned from post
masters throughout the country, but there were al
ways a number that were not damaged in the least,
and it was the latter that the accused appropriated,

A DISORDERLY PERSON SHOT
On Saturday afternoon, as Mr. Alfred M. Green, a
most respectable colored man, acting as assistant
quartermaster at Camp Win. Penn, was quietly
walking along South street, near Eleventh, he was
suddenly attacked by three dissolute fellows. Un
der threats to kill him, they made sundry demon
strations of a murderous character, pelting him
with brick-bats, and other missiles, but kept at some
distance from him. Finally they "pushed him to
the wall," whereupon he pulled a revolver out and
told them to stand back. He was calm. The va
liant fellows became more uproarious, butstill were
cowardly enough to make brickbats do that which
they were afraid to do themselves, that is, to come
in close contact with the object of their malignity.
Mr. Green fired his revolver and shot one of the
desperadoes in the leg. The wounded man was re
moved to the Pennsylvania hospital. The physi
cians say that his leg will have to be amputated.
The patient would not submit to the operation on
Saturday. He gave the name of John Donohue.
The report of the pistol attracted the attention of
pollee officers, who hastened to the scene 'and took
Green into 'custody without any resistance what
ever. Subsequently, the other two assailants were
arrested. They gave the names of Bernard J. Brad
ley and Bernard Owens. The case was investigated
before Alderman Carter on Saturday evening. The
parties were bound over to answer.
HORRIBLE. MURDER OF TWO PRILADEL-
PHIANS
The following statement of the murder of Thomas
Slierhan and wife, both Irish by birth but hailing
from Philadelphia,spossesses so much local interest
that we give It a place in this department of The
Press:
• " Thomas Sherhan . and lady oame to Tennessee
alter the fall of Fort Donelson, and was employed
for about eighteen months in the capacity of assist
ant quartermaster. By industry he accumulated
eight or ten thousand dollars. But six monthsago,-
on account of a misunderstanding between himself
and his employer, he was discharged. He then pur
chased 300 acres of land in Humphrey county, In
St. Patrick's settlement, on the 88th section of the
Nashville' and - North Western Railroad, and settled
down with the intention of hiring wood-ch_p_ppers,
and selling cordwood to the Government. He took
a partner by the name of B. Biumstern, a German
Jew, of Nashville, who, in accordance with the facts
of the case, has been accused the murderer, and he
is now in the Stateprison.
"On the 25th of - August Thomas Sherhan !and
Blumstern had a few words, which led to the cruel
murder the following- night. The neighbors found
Sherhan butchered in the yard of his house, with
fifteen stabs of a carving knife and his throat cut ;
and Mrs. Sherhan was found dead , In her bed, with
six stabs, and her throat out from ear to ear.
~ M r. Sherhan has children in Philadelphia, by
his first wife, who ought to know about their
father and stepmother's awful death. They should
come to Nashville, prosecute the murderer, and at
tend to the following property: Six or seven
thousand dollars in the bank ; 800 acres of land, with
horses, cows, furniture, crops, and cord mood ready
for market. Everything going to destruction for
want of care."
(Before Mr. Alderman Welding.]
. A LITTLE GIRL SHOT.
On Saturday afternoon a man named Martin Cal
lahan was arraigned on the charge of shooting a lit
tle girl named Kate Krause, who lives in Stamper's
alley. The defendant resides at the corner of this
alley and Third street:. The little girl was shot in
the wrist. The defendant denied , the charge. He
said that a man Bred the pistol at him from the op
posite side of the way and then ran. Defendant
gave chase, but the fugitive escaped. He dropped
his pistol, however. The weapon was picked up by
the prisoner. . The evidence ..of two little girls, re
spectively named Maggie Harvey . and Annie Hold
en, contradicts the statement of Callahan. They
were in Stamper's alley, and, upon hearing the re
port of the pistel,•turnesi and saw the smoke around
the defendant, who hastened into the house. Pistol
firing was quite frequent during the day in the yard
of the residence of Callahan. He was bound over
in the sum of✓fBoo to answer.
[Before Mr. Alderman Beitler.)
IMPOBTORS.
Two men_, giving the names of Nathan Cridland
and Jos. Roberts, were arraigned at the Central
Station, on Saturday evening, on:the charge of ob.
taxiing money under false pretences. The pri
soners, it is alleged, have been in the habit of going
among our citizens and collecting from them funds
In the name of various charitable institutions.
Latterly they had collected money in the name of a
bounty-fund committee. The defendants were com
mitted to await a further hearing.
BOUIVY JUMPER ARRESTED.
About dunk last evening a young man giving the
name of Davis, was arrested on Chestnut street,
above Fifth, on the charge of inciting to riot. He
applied epithets to the Government, and said the
Unionists ought to bag their heads. A riot was
stopped by the prompt interference of the police.
The prisoner was run into the Central Station,
where he told contradictory stories as to his resi
dence. He said that he came from Washington
three days since, and supposed that a person had a
right to "free speech—to speak. as pleased him."
In his pocket was found a white crochet matting,
for a table. On being questioned about it, he said
that it was a " present for his intended wife." He
was locked up for a hearing.
MURDERER 'REARRESTED.
Jeremiah Dun, alias Dinsmore, who was recently
convicted of murder of a person in Wyoming
county,.escaped from Sheriff A. Gay, while on the
way to the Eastern Penitentiary. He was re
arrested by Detectives McDevitt and ()terve°, of
Washington, who brought him to Philadelphia on
Friday. The prisoner was locked up in the Peni
tentiary. •

occurrence, at the corner of Sixth and Chestnut
streets,: testified that no pistol was found upon
Warner's person, and that he denied having had
any. l'diss Kirby, who admitted that she had been
intimate with Warner, who visited her frequently,
and started , to accompany her to the 44 casino' ,
that evening, but quarreled with and left her In the
street, said that she, with a female friend, went to
gether and seated themselves in . a private box.
Soon , alter Warner came in much intoxicated,
'and sat in a box opposite. But a short interval
elapsed when she heard the report of a pistol, which
frightened her so that she fainted. She denied having
seen Warner fire the pistol, or that she saw him
bavenne. She said, further, that she had been ad
vised to leave the city by two men, whose names she
did not know, and who gave no reason for giving
the advice ; and that she and the friend, Jenny Clif
ton, who was with her at the Casino on the night of
the shooting, accordingly went to New York, and
afterwards to Baltimore. She also admitted that
she had two interviews with Wainer since the
affray, once at the station-house, and Friday at the
prison, and that she and "Charier were new good
friends. Jenny Clifton. who seems to have been
with the parties from tlio time they all started to
gether to go to the theatre, until the firing of the
pistol, knew as little about the main fact, via , who
shot the weapon oft, as her friend Minnie Kirby:
in fact, the whole matter was undoubtedly fixed
up. No other witnesses were in court, except those
already mentioned, though there must have been
nitmbers; either spectators or employees of Mr. Fox,
the manager of the concern, who saw the transac
tion, and would have no difficulty in saying whether
Warner was the guilty person or not. The conclu
sion is, therefore, irresistible that the witnesses ex
amined
have been tampered with, and others who
should have been examined have been kept out of
the way. Judge Allison refused to discharge the
prisoner, and held him in fifteen hundred Sollars
bail to answer the charge.
In the civil courts only the ordinary Saturday
lists were up.
