THE CITY. OCR ARMY AT SAVANNAH. Capt. George Smith, or the army, addressed a. meeting of the Army Committee > or the,Young- Men’s Christian Association last evening In refe rence to the waste of the army or Gen Sherman Alter the address a resolution was unanimously , agreed to, that we have heard with deep Interest the statement of Captain Smith and fully endorse him as a man and deeply sympathize with hint-in Vila laudable and benevolent work of supplying the army of General Sherman with fruits and vegeta- - bles, and such other artloles as the Government does not famish. The committee would further state to the ottlzens of Philadelphia .Smith is fully en dorsed by General Crooks And-General oherman. The committee would also suggest that while wo are willing to contribute to the suffering citizens of Savannah, we onght not to forget , the brave boys who presented Savannah as a Christmas gift to the nation. Subscriptions can be left at the rooms or the Young Men’s Ohrißtlan Association, loot and 1011 Chestnut street. felons for thb army. The cool and easy manner inwhioh some-of . the members of the bar ask judges to permit felons to go to the army as enlisted men, and not bo sent to prison, Is really remarkable. A fellow headas!. mob of three-soore ruffians, armed., with pistols, bricks, and dubs, and proceeds, under false .oolors, tO ithe eleotlon polls, where citizens are quietly depositing their ballots. We say false colors, for In one ease thaffwas recently tried It was shown that the‘mob hallooed lor the Republican party, but the moment they reached the poluthelr rallying cry was "Gain, Democrats,” and every man within their reach was felled to the earth who did not agreewith the views of the leader of this gang. Broken limbs, out heads, and very serious injuries ensued, yet the counsel for this valiant leader asks that he be permitted to go back to the army, where he has served. ... , . In another case a lellow enters a store, plaees an umbrella over his place of entry, and deliberately proceeds to rob the premises, but is caught In the aotTHIs counsel also asks that he be permitted to enter the army. . It Is simply a disgrace to the brave men who eon stltnte our army to send felons among them as their 88S00ifttfiB Any one who has served In the army will agree with us that lawless characters are an Incumbrance, and only in the way of brave men. It requires mo ral oouruge to be enabled to stand np against the bullets of an enemy, and It Is but qeldom that felons possess this desideratum. The men who steal in the army can always be found among the stragglers in the rear,and never la the face of the enemy. The mothers, wives, sisters, and children of our brave volunteers must feel the deep stigma attempt ed to be placed on their relatives when they take up a paper and see a request made that a felon shall take rank with their dearly loved ones who are bat tling against the enemy. ' TO PREVENT SKEDADDLING. It Is Btated by our provost marshals that the num ber of persons who leave their homes in anticipa tion of a draft is as great as the number who leave alter being drafted. A bill will shortly be pre sented to our Legislature to meet these oases. This bill declares that ail persohs who may leave their homes or enrolment districts for the purpose of avoiding military service, or who may conceal themselves or refuse to report alter having been notified of their being drafted, shall be deprived of their right of citizenship within the Commonwealth, and "shall be Incapable of Inheriting any estate under the intestate laws of the Oommonwealthj%r by contract acquiring, possessing, or disposing of any re al or personal estate within the same. Any officer of eleotlon knowingly receiving the vote of any person so escaping military service shall be liable to lndlotment for misdemeanor, and on oon vietlon shall be fined in a sum not less than one hundred dollars, and be Imprisoned for a term not less than one month. Any person advising, assist ing, harboring, or In any manner aiding In -the esoape or concealment of the persons described and provided for by this act, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction of the same, shall be liable to fine and Imprisonment for not less than three months.” A REFORM MUCH NEEDED. A correspondent desires the publication of the fol lowing in The Press. It treats of a subject In which almost everybody is Interested: “ Your correspondent respectfully dlreots atten tion to the danger to which the limbs and lives of citi zens, men, women, 'slid children are exposed, caused by the shrill and startling whistle of the steam engines, In near proximity'to which few horses of stay spirit can be controlled, especially In the vicinity of the Market-street bridge, West Phila delphia. Frequent accidents have of late occurred, -which must be painful to every right-feeling mind. Everybody may have noticed the death of James Sharkey, recently published in The Press and Ledger, oaueed by bis horses taking fright from the shrill and horrid scream of the steam whistle, while cross ing Market street, near the Media depot, a wortny man, of respectable family, leaving four small chil dren, the oldest only nine years of age, and a heart broken widow, to mourn his untimely loss. We are aware the object of tbe whistle Is to warn persons of the approaching danger. It may do for pedestri ans, but the danger to persons driving or riding in 'carriages, or on horseback, is increased. It is our opinion that a bell, In such a locality, would be a sufficient warning, and much safer, and on crossing the streets the speed should be reduced to the rata or four miles per hour. We write hoping you win give the above your serious attention. We have lost a good citizen, and a family has lost a fond hus band and father, and their only dependence. With all due regard for the honorable position that Mayor Henry fills so satisfactorily, as a general thing, will he, for humanity’s sake, abate a terrible nulsanoe of such magnitude 1” THE MERCHANTS’ FUND ASSOCIATION. The annual meeting of the Merchants’ Fund As sociation was held yesterday afternoon, at the Board of Trade rooms. Mr. Thoa. O. Hand presided. The annual report was read. It Bets out that of the twelve perrons who, according to the last annual report, were receiving aid from the fund, three had died. The present number of beneficiaries Is ele ven, all or whom are aged and Infirm, and some of them were well-known, in.past years,as honest merchants, ds well In tlmeß of prosperity as In the days of disaster. One of them Is suffering from paralysis; another with a diseased spine. Since the last annual meeting two of the -officers of tbe roolety have been removed by death, Both were greatly lamented by their fellow-citizens. One of them, the late Benjamin Gerhard, was one ot the solicitors of the association,' and to him it is due for much important legal service, for which he refused compensation. The other, Dr. Robert F. Thomas, was one of the physioians of the sooiety. The donations during the year amount to *2,282.- 30, and were made to IS persona, in different amounts. The reoeipts for the year amount to *8,829.80, of which sum *5,600 was specially desig nated by the donors to be applied to the permanent fund. The snm of *5OO was received from the estate of the late Bonneville Brown, and *5,000 from the estate oi Joslsh Dawson. By these gifts the permanent Investments are in creased to *15,700. The managers return the thanks of the society to the annual members, through whose contributions they have been enabled to do muoh good. They also express a hope that there shall he snoh an increase of the permanent fund as to give assurance of stability to tbe institution, which cannot be so well secured by other means. The tone benevolence of tbe society can be appre ciated by those who have been brought in oontaet with the wants it seeks to relieve, and wko know the painful shrinking of men in their necessity from reouving obligations whieh they, cannot hope to repay. Mr. E. A. Bonder expressed his opinion that the sooiety was losing gronnd by reason of the seereoy of its operations, None bnt the eommittee having the matter In oharge knew the nameß or its benefi ciaries, and he thought that some means should be adopted to increase the number of,-its contributors. Mr. John Welsh agreed with Mr. souder. He thengbt that fifty bnsiness men oonld be found who wonld mahe it their business to go around amongst the merchants and raise funds. Each might raise *4,000, and that wonld be a Bum sufficiently large to allow the association tobxeroiao Its charity to a de sirable extent. Mr. John M.- Atwood also agreed with the re marks of tho preceding speakers; There was no snbtraotion from the benevolence of this charity. The officers did duty without salary, aud proper ef forts should be made to extend the usefulness of the Society.. Sir. E. A. Sender moved that the president be au thorized to appoint a committee of fifty memberß to soliolt tbe names of those desirous of becoming* members, and also to get donations for the perma nent fund, and that each gentleman endeavor to raise *4,0c0. . - Tbe re eolation wauadopted. An election of offlsbrs was then gone into. The managers eonslst of twenty members—ten being elected at each annual meeting, and the other ten holding over. President—John M. Atwood. Vice Presidents—Thomas Robins, Ed. A Souder; Treasurer—Jas. McFarland. Secretary—Richard Wood. Managers—John M. Atwood, John W. Olaghora, -John Mason, William Cummings, Thomas F. Bra dy, Edward I>.

Between 8 and 9 o' clock on Monday evening the re port of a pistol and screams issuing from a dwelling noose on Sixth street, below Washington avenue, tlupw that vicinity inio great excitement .Reports were free ly circulated that a miltiaiy man had blown his wife’s brains ont. touch a sanguinary deed, however, had not been perpetrated. 3he facts of the case, so far as gleaned from what may toe considered reliable sources, are, that a certain captain who went out in a hundred - days regiment returned at the expi ration of the term. He then raised another com pany without much difficulty, and proceeded again to go service to the country, and for Borne time past ha* been stationed at GallpoUs, Ohio. Be has a wife and thrte or four children, whom he left in tolerably well to-do circumstances. Desiring to have his family at Galipolis, he arrived in this city a day or tw > since, and commenced at once to make arrangements lbr the re moval. Busy bodies poured poison into his ear, and he Uttened. He was told how his wife had attended public parties, dances, drc,; how aim was accompanied home toy certain persons of ttoe masculine gander, at late hours, die. It was for reasons such as these, and the natuial suggestions that would necessarily occur to Ms imisd, that he went home on Monday evening. What absolutely did take place then and there U estheJy private, and therefore cannot be publicly divulged. Certain it Is, the report of the pistol awakened the most intense excitement among the neighbors, and has fur nished enough gossip for a fortnight. The Captain, in the private walks of life, was much respected. Hie do .mestic tranquillity, ot course, Is broken. ' HOUSE ON COBBECTION.

No cross-examination. . TESTIMONY OF THE COEONER’B SURGEON. Sbapleigh, M. D., sworn.—On 16th September la* t I mad e a post mortem’ examination of the body at Dona ghy.atthe Eighth-ward .station-house; there were two contusions or braises on the head, one a slight one on the forehead, another more serious and extensive be* hind the left ear; the skin was not broken in either bruise; there was some blood between the scalp antltha skull behind the car; there was no fracture of the bones of the skull dthe blood vessels of the brain were highly congealed a large riot of blood was found resting in the base of the brain; this clot of blood pressing upon the brain was ti e Immediate cause of death; this clot was from hemorrhage from a ruptured blood vessel of tbe brain; the eoncnnlon had ruptured the blood vessels; tbe blow, causing the contusion behind the ear must have been a severe one; a smooth, hard instrument, such as a stone, abrick, or a piece of board would have produced the Injury; I don’t think, a billy could hare canned the injury, or it wou-d have broken tbe skin or the bones; don’t think such a blow could have been in dicted by the fist; tbe fiat heel of a boot might produce such a bruise, but that always produces some other marks, that of nails, for instance: it is sot smooth enough; tbe toe of a boot would have broken the skin; It might have been produced by falling on a curb or paving atone, or any smooth, bard surface. Cross- examined.—The wound was not likely to have been produced by the toe or heel of a boot.

It has a river frontage of about 62 rods, and’ the shipping facili ties thus given, make the. locationian exceedingly ad vantageous ope ixLthis respect. Inraddttlon, however,, the Franklin and Pittsburg pike runs directly through the Company ’a property, and the town of Franklin is thus rendered of easy access. The property has been carefully examined by A. com mittee, and pronounced to be, in their judgment, most valuable and excellent oil land. The lands in thU sea* lion lave proved Wonderfnllyprodoetive in thick lubri cating oil. Immediately below the Company’sproperty Is the celebrated Cochran Farmland the Franklin Citi zen, in noticing the new wells recently struck, says: “One by Baie&Morrow, on October 12, on the Coch rane Farm, two miles below Franklin, which yielded 240 barrels at the first forty-elrht hours* pumping, is considered good for 10G barrels. John Lee,hasate-* ob tained aflowing well, on the Martin Farm, just above' tbe Hoover, and nearly opposite the Cochrane, which flows over 60 barrels per day. Also, Mr. Hubs, who on u» a lease on the Smith Farm, who has been pumping four, barrels per day, at 408 feefc deep, sunk his well 424 ‘ feet, and etrnck a well giving 4f barrels per day. All these strikes, have been within ton days, and the pros pect'of a number more in a short time. ” - On the Company’s property there are already two wells. Well Ho. 1, near ihelower end, about 20 yards .from the river, is sank about 620.feei and although there is evidence of abmtid&hce br oil; the quantity of gas and parfafine below prevents its being worked to advantage anUl the double tubing machinery is appfied, - as in the well on the CcchrMO PMm, yielding 60 babels daily. Thecommitteereporttbat withdraw* of the chambers from the well (Ho. 1). oil was thrown upso feet above the surface. ? u Well No. 2is about the same distance from the river, and about 60 yards from well Ho. 1. Oil was obtaineu at about SOOfeet, but wis deemed advisable to prosecute the boring oelowthe third .sand*stone. The oil from'both these wells .is thick lubricating oil. . . . The committee who examines, the property of the Company, at the same time examined other producing tracts in its vicinity,- and they deem this to be one of Jhe.choiseat In that rich oil region, needing slight ap plication only to make it one of the most productive and profitable. TheComp&ny proposes to push its de-. velopment with the utmost energy.applyinr the newest' and moat approved machinery to the wells on the pro - pertr,ana sinking additional ones at the earliest period.
