THE DOUBLEDAY COURT-MARTIAL
The concerted assault 'upon this court
martial has not attracted much of the at
tention of the friends of the Government,
for the reason, doubtless, that when the
proper time arrives the record will be the
best defence of the gallant soldiers who
compose it, and of the Government under
whose orders they act. The trial of Mr.
Comics, a contractor, Of this dty, has been
made the subject of severe strictures by
the New York Tribune, and the Public
Ledger, of this city, upon the court-martial;
and their comments have furnished the text
to the general Opposition press for a series
of new assaults upon the Secretary of War,
Mr. STANTON. A short and modest commu
nication, from the pen, evidently, of a mem
ber of the court, in reply to these stric
tures, is allowed a place in yesterday's Tri
bune,-and is copied in another part of Tar.
PRESS this morning. We point to it as an
explicit and unanswerable refutation of the
serious charges preferred against the court
by that and, other papnrs. The Tribuse,
however, does not so regard the reply;
but in its yesterday's issue deliberately re
peats the main allegation as to the expense
of the court, while refusing to acknowledge
the force of the explanation as to the length
of time consumed in its sessions.
The necessity and origin of the Double
day Court-martial, and others of the same
kind, may be explained as follows : After
the war had progressed for more than a
year, it was found that an immense quan
tity of shoddy clothing, pasteboard shoes,
rotten felt hats, tents too scanty to
cover the soldiers and too flimsy to
keep out the. rain, were supplied to the
Government by certain reckless con
tractors. To remedy this terrible evil—
which was so great as to produce the
very worst results, and for a time was so
unchecked as to be imitated by others; who
had contracted to supply coffee, sugar,
flour, medicines, &e., and who, indifferent
to the health and lives of the soldiers, con
trived to pass through the inspectors the
most inferior articles—Congress passed a
special act making contractors a - part or rue
auxucCaus rircau, fbr any viola
tions of their agreement with the Govern
ment, to trial by a court martial. This law
is read to every contractor before he enters
upon the fulfilment of his agreement. As
we have said, the Doubleday Court was
raised and has acted under this authority.
The cause of the trial of CozE - Ns was that a
large number of tents made by his firm
were sent back by General GRANT from
the army as worthless, or nearly so ; and
the Secretary of War acted under the law
of Congress when he referred the case
to General DOUBLEDAY and his associates.
Mr. Comm is a rich man, and has had
the advantage not only of an elaborate trial,
but of extended newspaper sympathy ;
while the court, until now, has bile com
pelled to submit to taunts and abuse, with
out a syllable of defence from any quarter.
-Considering that five of the members have
been severely wounded in the battles
against the rebel foe, and that Mr. COZENS
is a safe and prosperous man at home, a
few words as to what this-court has done,
may not now be out of place.
Leaving the case of COZENS to the brief
and soldier-like statement communicated as
a reply to the strictures of the Tribune i
.Ledger, and other papers, we ask attention
to the following authorized list of the work
done by the Doubleday Court Martial
since it was ordered in 1862: -
I. The conviction of five notorious block-_
ade runners in St. Mary's county, Mary
land, by which a most dangerous and pm
-fitable traffic was broken up.
11. The conviction of the New York
contractor for carrying sick and wounded
soldiers to and from hospitals, as they were
brought in from the army, and sent back to
the service, or to their homes. Before this
man was removed and convicted the cost
of his service to the Government was from
$3,000 to $6,000 per month. tinder the
new direction the same work was done at
a cost of $l5O a month. Estimated saving
in two years on this one item, $96,000.
111. Ten blockade-runners from Balti
timore convicted, and their whole system
destroyed. Fines (apart from the sen
tence remitted by President Luicor,...:,)
$lO,OOO.
IV. The trial and conviction of the no
torious brokers for presenting fraudulent
claims on the treasury, and cheating his
soldier_elients—twO cases—an ascertained
saving of $B,OOO.
V. The case of three parties tried, and
by this Court convicted of feeding and
aiding the notorious guerilla, Mom'.
VI. Twenty cases of blockade-running
by rebel sympathizers, in connection with
the rebel quartermaster's medical depart
ments, on the Potomac and Pawtuxent
rivers—the whole conclave broken up.
'VII. Two cases of murder and man
slaughter.
VIII. Officers passing counterfeit money
(United States currency) on Pennsylvania
troops (430,000 passed.)
IX. Women carrying rebel mails, two
cases.
X. About fifty cases of enticing and pro
curing soldiers to desert, and bounty jump
ing. The conspiracy completely broken up.
The desertions at the commencement of
the trials were about fifty per clay. After
the trials, three per day. The bounty at
this time was about $750 a head, and the
saving is estimated at the Department to be
over thirty-fine thousand dollars a day !
XI. Enlisting soldiers in Washington to
take them to llosny. Fourteen parties
tried and convicted, and their combination
completely destroyed.
XII. Aiding prisoners to escape from
Fort Delaware, two cases.
XIII. Preventing negro enlistments in.
Kentucky by maiming the negroes, two
cases.
KW. Giving information to rebels when
Washington was besieged, four eases, and
two cases of spies from EARLY; the, traitors
caught twice, convicted, and punished.
XV. Breaking up five cases of corrupt
practices in the officials in Alexandria.
XVI. The conviction of the contractor
to furnish Krum SMITH. with all his sup
plies in the rebel trans-Mississippi Depart
ment ; amount of contract, $1,000,000.
XVII. Eleven cases of selling 'Govern-
mutt stores unlawfully in Washington-- , azx
immense saving to the Treasury.
XVIII. Guerillas . (Mosp Y's), six cases.
XIX. Thirty-two 'pa!ips, Ortrading in Con
traband goods with ?death by, Washington
merchants, and of Baltimore firms, and all
convicted for similar offences. These firms
represented over $12,000,000. The fines
collected and paid amounted to over
$lOO,OOO.
XX. The New York election frauds of
1.863, seven cases; the expose of which
saved the State of New York from Copper
head rule, and prevented over thirty
thousand fraudulent votes from being
polled !
In addition to these cases there are
at least one hundred of a different and
almost equally important character. This
plain yet eloquent recital is probably the
best reply we could make to the attacks
;Ad misrepresentations of newspapers and
politicians. The brave men who compose
the Doubleday Court-Martial, unable,
from their wounds, to ecntinue fighting the
foes of their country in the field, or even to
follow the counsel of the Tribune, " to be
serviceable as ploughmen in the West,"
have entitled themselves to the renewed
gratitude of the people by the patience,
zeal, integrity, and courage, with which
they have exposed and brought to punish
ment traitors, spies, and corruptionists.
A PROPHECY. FOR GLADSTONE
In the year 1829, the late Sir ROBERT
PEEL then being Home Secretary in the
Administration of the Duke of WELLrNo-
TON, he had to choose between civil war in
Ireland and the removal of the civil dis
abilities of the Roman Catholics, imposed
upon them, after the Revolution of 1688,
by the Parliament of England, with the
consent of the Prince of ORANGE, better
known, historically, as WILLIAM the Third.
Mr. PEEL had then been member of Parlia
ment for the University of Oxford for
eletTA years, and was very proud of a dis
tinction which ever comes without solici
tation, (the etiquette at the University
elections being that the persons set up as
candidates never address the electors, by
letter or word of mouth, nor make any
personal canvass,) and which is usually
bestowed in recognition of distinction
achieved in the academical career, and high
public character subsequently proving that
the earlypromise had been fulfilled. PEEL,
it should be noted, had graduated, with
the highest distinction, as "double-first,"
which means that he was first in merit on
the public examination in classics and
science. When lie resolved to grant Catho
lic Emancipation, his previous opposition
to which had ingratiated him with the
elective body of Oxford University, he
thought it due to his own honor, as well as
to those whom he had repiesented for many
years, to resign Ins seat, thereby giving
them the power of immediately deciding
whether they would re-elect him. A severe
contest took place, the late Sir R. H. INGLIS,
a most intolerant Tory, being set up against
him, and PEEL was ejected from Oxford,
easily finding a seat, by purchase, (which
was the fashion then,) for a pocket.
borough.
In 1865 Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, who had com
menced public life as a Tory, and, on ac
count of his intolerance, had represented
the University of Oxford for eighteen years,
(he, too, had won a " double first" when
he graduated,) took occasion during a de
bate in the House of Commons to an
nounce himself a convert to the party
headed by Mr. Jonx BRIGHT, one of
whose theories is that every man over the
age of twenty-one, who is not under ban as
a criminal, should be allowed to vote at the
election of members of Parliament, sitting
in the House of Commons, the chosen re
presentatives of the People, and that a
man's religious belief or disbelief had
nothing to do with his right to choose a
delegate, one of six hundred and fifty-eight
from all parts ofthe British Kingdom, whose
duty it is to impose the taxation which, for
me youvar grrturzunc--.6 oad. rmiintemante of
the State, all must pay. At the °eller-at
Election, just ended, Mr. GLADSTONE was
rejected by his former Constituents at Ox
ford, and in his place was elected Mr. ()law-
THORNE HARDY, also member for Leomin
ster, who, in Ms year, had been " second
class" in classics, who had been Under-
Secretary for the Home Department, in
1858-9, who is an excellent speaker—a gen
tleman, in short, by whom it was no dis
credit to have been defeated.
Thus, on two occasions, and in the per
son of two of her most eminent sons, the
University of Oxford punished conversion
to liberal opinions. In PBEL'S case, as he
has since confessed in his posthumous
Memoirs, he was converted but not per
suaded; his concession to the Catholics, to
some seven millions of British subjects
excluded from political rights, by their
tenaciously holding to their religious faith,
was but a reluctant yielding to that on
spiritual deity, Necessity. Had he con
tinued his resistance, Ireland, then flushed
with the triumph of O'Colsxura.'s election
to Parliament for Clare, would have broken
out into revolt, and separated herself from
Great Britain, justas Belgium withdrew from
Holland some eighteen months later. In
Mr. GLADSTO!..P. 7 g case, there WaS no ur
gent reason why he should have announced
his desire to take a political sten far in ad
vance of his colleagues, though he may have
thought it politic to show his hand, so far—
to let the public know that, whenever the
Government was reconstructed, lie was
ready to take office on very advanced prin
ciples of liberality. It was, in fact, a "no
tice to quit" given to the less liberal section
of the Cabinet, and especially to PALMER
f,,TON and RussELL, who are Tories, so
loosely wearing Whig masks that the smile
of one and the sneer of the other are palpa
ble to all who choose to look for them.
PEEL, rejected by Oxford, or rather
emancipated from the trammels his Alma
Mater had put upon him, with no law for
action but a strong heart and a wise judg
ment, emancipated the Catholics—but was
ejected from office in eighteen months.
Later still, in 1846, he made another great
move, and repealed the taxes upon food.
On the very day this bill received the royal
assent its author was again cashiered by the
Lower House. We have to wait for the
parallel sequence in GLADSTONE'S case.
There are only 1,330,000 electors in Great
Britain and Ireland, and there ought to be
7,000,000. Next year a new Reform Bill
will be introduced—most probably support
ed by GLaosTorin—largely to increase the
number of electors. It will meet with feeble
support from most of his colleagues, PAL
MERSTON, RUSSELL, and Lord Chancel
lor CRANWORTH, anti-reformers all, will
scarcely support it at all. But, say that it
should be carried, how long after that Will
GLADSTONE be in office t PEEL granted
emancipation in 1829, and was turned out
of office in 1830 ; he repealed the Corn Laws
in 1846, and was ex-Minister the very next
day. There is a law of reaction governing
political as well as material forces, Let us
see.
Should the PALMERSTON Government re
tain power; (we do not believe that the
wonderful old man, its head, has any notion
of resigning,) it can only do so on the under
standing that it shall pass a popular measure
—such as an extensive Reform Bill, which
will at least double the number of Parlia
mentary electors: In England, (we quote
A:unt,r,-E EGERTON'S practical philosophy,
in - my limy') all Administrations WllO
come in on a popular question are necessa
rily short-sighted. " Either they do not go
far enough to please present supporters, or
they go so far •as to arm new enemies in the
rivals who outbid them with the people.
'Tis the history of all revolutions, and of all
reforms." PEEL granted Emancipation in
1929, and then arose and swelled the cry for
Reform. He refused, and was cast OUt of
office in 1830. At"present, the cases of
P EEL and GLADSTONE run parallel in
two points out of three. GmkusToxE
has gradually become impressed—whe
ther from policy or conviction—with
more liberal views than he formerly held,
and has consequently been ejected from
Oxford. He has but to propose a new and
sweeping Reform Bill, and carry it; and in
a year or two, as :lie will then decline
going farther, he May 'look for the opera
tion of the fatal laW of reaction which will
overturn and i place - him, it may be for a
long time, on the Opposition benches—pre
cisely where, with all his 'tact and ability,
it placed PEEL. There, out otoffice, he
may be the greatest man in Parliament.
AMERICAN AND FOREIGN WAR
SHIPS.
When the first Entessox Monitor did its
duty so well, in the engagement with the
Merrimac, in Hampton Roads, on the me
morable 9th of March; 1.862, and details of
the engagement reached England, Th.e
Times, in a moment of unwonted candor,
said : " Yesterday, England was strong ht
the defences of her traditionary Wooden
Walls—to-day, now that the turret-ships
have brought a new element into naval
warfare, we stand possessed of only two
or three iron -clads, and our timber vessels,
with which COLLINOIVOOD and RODNEY,
VERNON and HOOD, JARVIS and NELSON,
EMIUTR and CODINGTON, won their fame,
are fit for little more than to be broken up
for firewood." Later still, in fact only a few
weeks ago, Captain SHISRARD Osnoxttra, of
the Nemesis, a highly distinguished British
naval officer, declared at a meeting of the
Royal Society 'of England, that after all
the money spent upon the fieet, he believed
some £150,000,000 sterling, (equal to $750,
000,000) he could count the ships of the
British Navy fit to go into action on the tips
of his fingers.
The Liverpool Daily Post, of Silly 26, has
a long article, entitled " English and French
ships on Yankee models," which has been
suggested by the assemblage of two fleets,
English and French, at Plymouth. It sayi,
"To see two great nations who may yet,
in spite of all efforts to the contrary, bearrayed once more against each other, com
paring notes in reference to their means of
offence and defence, must at any time be
very interesting; and it is especially so at
a time when the art of naval construction
is in a transition state. But the most cu
rious circumstance in the matter is, that
both the French and English owe mainly to
the Americans the models upon •which they
are now perfecting their ships." The writer
then proceeds, by comparison and contrast,
to show the characteristic powers and defi
ciencies of the three nations, and does this
as fairly, perhaps, as could be expected.
Great care tbr the comforts of the men is
stated to be a peculiarity always found in
the naval and military management of the
French, whose naval constructor has evi
dently not lost sight of the important point
of making the ship a pleasant one to the
officers and crew. The French have no
turret-ships, but the English have ; one of
these, the Scorpion, (one of the two iron
clads built b3r LAran for the rebels,) was at
Plymouth. Here, as a special reporter de
scribes, " the part allotted for the berthing
of the crew is so small and so badly con
trived that it is difficult to conceive how a
hundred and fifty men could possibly be
stowed away in the space. Most of the
crew occupy the fore part of the ship where
it narrows to form the bows, and on one
side is the large galley with a fire and
cookery always going on. The rest of the
crew, comprising marine artillerymen and
mariners, with the engineers and stokers,
have to sling their hammocks wherever
there is room around the turrets. The
officers have a tolerably large wardroom,
unusually lofty, but not well lit by daylight,
and cabins- by the sides, while the captain
has an abundantly - spacious cabin_ It may
be said that this ship was not designed by
the Admiralty, and is only intended to be
employed for harbor and channel service ;
but the same defects, though in a much less
degree, are observable in the Royal Sove
reign. In none of these turret ships have
the crew been sufficiently considered; and it
is really astonishing to find officers and
men so contented with vessels that afford
so little of the charm of a sailor's life and
80 much inevitable discomfort
La Flandre, a steam frigate, considered
the fastest ship in the French navy, (able,_
-with her ego, boilcre, to run fifteen knots
an hour,) and the smartest-looldng vessel
at Plymouth, is greatly praised for the corn
pleteneas of her internal construction Rad
plan, especially in the arrangements of the
officers' quarters and the berths of the men.
The great British model of turret ships
is the Royal Sovereign, of which it was
said that if she were an enemy she would
fight the whole combined squadron, and,
after sinking half of them, steam out of the
Sound victorious. This vessel could be
silenced or captured only by boarding,
which depends upon dash and hand-to
hand bravery, and even that was consider
ed as difficult. The thing to be arrived at
is a plan which 'can render turreted ships
quite inaccessible to men attempting to
board her.
The LiverpQol Post concludes a deserip
tion of the Royal Sovereign by saying :
"It will be seen from this how remarkable
are the advances which have been made in na
val architecture • and those who have follow
ed the recent history of warfare must be
aware to how great an extent this is owing to
the lessons derived from the American war.
The inventions which have been turned to ac.
count were not all of them American in their
origin; but it is the natural process in these
matters for the Americans to work up into
practical success the ideas which originated
in Europe, and then stoppingshort of absolute
apish and perfection to band them back again
to Europe for completion. This is the posi
tion in which we are at present placed with re
spect to naval architecture; and it must be
obviously the interest of our Government at
once to accept every suggestion that can be
derived from any source, and to observe with
great closeness the achievements of other na
tions, and especially of the Americans, in
order that Dy our superior skill and finish we
may bring the naval armaments of our COlin
try to that degree of perfection which, if we
properly use our facilities, no other power can
succeed in rivalling."
Surely, there is some want of memory in
the remark that "the inventions which
hare been turned to account were not all
American in their origin." The turrets of
the Royal Sovereign were actually invented
by Captain JOHN Ericsson, of New York,
and placed by him at the service of the
United StateS Navy. The Monitor was the
first vessel in which this invention was put
into practical work. After that, which has
revolutionized all naval warfare, Captain
COLES, of the British Navy, brought for
ward a modification of ERICSSON'S plan,
boldly claimed to be an inventor--after the
success of the Monitor was World-known--
and had his claim recognized and paid for
by the =commonly stupid Board of Ad
miralty in England, whereof the !Duke of
SOMERSET, who does not know a tiller from
a marling-spike, is the acting Chief. No
one could expect him to know the differ
ence between an invention and a theft.
And so, Captain COLES has got reputation
and cash as a great naval constructor

"The Cost or Military Justice."
The following despatch is taken from a
Washington paper:
lIS TRLKORAPH,— A BLOW AT THIS MILITARY
POWER OF MB CtOlumarxxx 4 T—lT WILL BB
PROMPTLY AND SQUARELY MET.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7.—1 am authorized to
say that the editorial in Saturday's New York
Tribune, relative to the doings of the " Double
day" Military
. Commission of this city, is a
tissue of malicious misrepresentations, as will
be conclusively shown in detail very shortly.
S. P. H.E.
- -
In addition to this announcement we have
received from an officer of the Doubleday
Court-Martial the following communication,
which we print with all possible prominence :
Two editorials have lately appeared in the
New York Tribune in regard to the Doubleday
Court-Martial, which, unanswered, tend to
prejudiez the public mind not only against
this court, but all other military courts, to
say nothing of the iliconeived attempt to ats
tack the Government through the officers of
the army obeying the commands of the Presi
dent.
It is simply sufficient to say that the edito
rials referred to are written by • some one
wholly uniniquainted With the facts, military
law, and array regulations—in a word, the en
tire articles are a tissue of misrepresenta
tions, which we will briefly show by stating
the truth regarding the court attacked by
name. •
The tribunal is a eourt-martial, and not a
military commission. The officers composing,
it do not receive the extra allowance of $1,25'
per day, nor any allowances other than those •
paid to all officers on duty In cities. But leftve
mg aside these and similar errors, it is diffi
cult to see how it would be more economical
to transfer the trials to a civil court. Officers
of the army in permanent organizations re
ceive their pay, no matter upon what duty
they may be assigned. It seems therefore,
very unfair to compute the ordinary pay of
Officers a part of the oxpenses of the court
martial. The fallacy of one of the articles
mentioned is clearly shown in one item in the
list of expenditures. The Government is
therein charged with expenses of ushers, de
tectives, policemen, &e., to the sum of - Jiffy
dollars a day, amounting, in the aggregate, to
k 7,000; whereas, the simple fact is, the court
has but two orderlies, who are private soldiers
detailed for, the purpose, and who receive
nothing in addition to their pay as such, and
a clerk:, whose salary is seventy-five dollars
Per month, If it is alleged that civil courts are
already in existence and receiving pay for at
tending to this class of cases, it may be said in
reply that officers of the army are also receiv
ing pay, and may as well attend to this as to
any other duty.
is true some of the officers who do not be
long to permanent organizations, could be
mustered out of service, but the substitution of
others who have not had experience in this
class of duties would be injurious rather than
beneficial to the public interest.
In answer to the allegation that the case of
Cozens has lasted for an unusual. length of
time, it may be - well to state that Cozens has
Made an immense number of tents for the
army, and the, charges and specifications
against him cover several quires of paper. Me
has a right to be heard in relation ;to each of
these allegations,.hence the trial has necessa
rily been a lengthy one. It was made more so
by the fact that the Judge Advocate was with
drawn foil several weeks tonid in the investi
gations at Washington ii.v.relation to the as
sassination of the President. •
Another point does not seem to be generally
understood—that all 'the testimony aniiiirgu
'tricots which take place before a court-martial
have to be recorded Formerly Formertyreourts would
sit from six to eight hours and were delayed
by the necessity of recording their own pro
ceedings ; now thatphonography is used, more
work is done in four hours than was formerly
done in eight. The ehOrt-hand reporters, after
the session-is over, are obliged to write out
everything in full for the next day's proceed
ings.-- It frequently takes four hours of ordi
nary writing to transcribe one hour's work in
short-band. The sessions of the court vary -
from ten A. M. to three P. M., and eleven A. M.
to three P. M.; and wore they longer, nothing
would be gained, for the record would not be
complete without an entire night's labor on
the.part of the repOrters.
It _ls not true that the eourt feermeritly sits
for a few minutes only. It happened on One
occasion that the Judge Advocate asked for
the indulgence of the court, on account of se
vere sickness. It is also true that the court,
on two or three-occasions, have been obliged
to adjourn on account of the indisposition of:
niembere of the court, who are Still, suffering
from severe - wounds received in service. •
The ',members of the court have not applied
for this duty, but have been detailed by the
Secretary of War. To attack them forobeying
his order is simply absurd. Every enent the
court has an honorable record; five of them
nave been struck by the enemy's; missiles;
,„,lbreC Of them severely and dangermudy..
Ivounded, and one has endured a_ long:tut.:
prisonment in Libby. It is.doubtless pleasant
to them to be spoken of,. now that the war IS
over, as a set of fellows who ought tobe kicked
out of the service, with delicate allusion to
their making excellent ploughmen in the West.
As Congress itself passed the law authorizing
the trial of contractors by court-martial, it is
difficult to see wherein the military despotism
lies: This law holds good for all time, and is
not limited by the end of the rebellion.
It is assumed that the Government has ac
quiesced in the writ of habeas corpus issued
by Judge Thompson. If so, there is no official
announcement of the fact. The truth is the
Cozens case has not yetbeendecidedinWash
ington, owing to the pressure of bustness, and
the great number of eases which precede it.
The proceedings of the Court as recorded, take
up more than 8,000 pages of legal cap, a fact
which of itself shows that the members have
not been wholly idle. It takes time to exa
mine such a record as this, and pass. upon the
numerous points involved. If the final deci
sion of the War Department should be favor.:
able to Cozens, it is quite possible he may not
be re-arrested ; if found guilty, there is nothing
to show that the Department intends to per
mit any interference on the part of Judge
Thompson; or of any one else.
Explosion of the Steamer Joseph
Pierce.
The Vicksburg herald of Augitst Ist gives
the particulars of the explosion of the Joseph
Pierce, a brief mention of which was made by
telegraph a few days since. The accident oc
curred at Palmyra Landing, twenty miles be
low Vicksburg, on July 3151, while the boat was
taking on board the 64th New Orleans Colored
Infantry, Col. Miaticard commanding. Her
starbOard boiler exploded with terrible force,
after she had been lying at Cairo abed half an
hour blowing away fifty feet of the centre of
theboat. Hundreds were blown into the
river, but, strange to say, the loss of life was
very small. James Kane, fireman, and two
deck hands, are known to be killed. William
McGee and O'Brien, firemen, and Samuel
Stewart, Company 1, 77th Pennsylvania, two
colored women, and a negro bo are all that
are known to be Missing. It is thought, how
ever, that perhaps about twenty are drowned,
but their names are not to be found, and the
supposition may not prove correct. Chief En
gineer. William Nicholas is badly burned, and
will scarcely recover. Two deck hands are
badly burned and scalded. Twenty-four co
bored soldiers and Isaac Little and James
West, mechanics were more or less severely
scalded or bruised; some of the injured men
had legs and arms broken. There was but one
lady passenger, Mrs. Salcy, who, with her
child, was saved, but badly bruised and cut.
The explosion occurred about ten nab:Lines be
fore the main body of the colored regiment
were ready to be marched on board. Those
lost and 'wounded were of the fatigue parties
engaged in putting the baggage, &c., of the re
giment on the boat. No apparent cause for
the explosion is given. The engineers were
considered among the best on the river, one of
them having twenty years' experience.
The Dictator, Commodore John Rodgers,
commanding, has now on board, as passen
gers„ G. V. Fox, ASOlEltant Secretary of the
Navy, Chief. Justine Chase, Hon. lawns. Rico

TIEI.V. CITY.
THE NATIONAL GAME.
ACTIVE VS. OLYMPIC.
AN INTERESTING GAME YESTERDAY
THE OLYMPIC BEATEN.
THE ACTIVES AND - ATHLETICS THIS
AFTERNOON.
Nine members of the Arst-class Base Ball
Club, the "Active," of New York, arrived in
Philadelphia about noon of yesterday, and
were escorted to the irlieadquarters, the Union
Hotel. They were met at Bordentown, New
Jersey, by a delegation of several Philadel
phia clubs, and kindly interchanges of bro.
therly love took place. The "Active's " nine
in number are fine, robustlooking young gen-
Vernon, whose deportment won the respect
and admiration of all with whom they met.
In the afternoon they played a game with the
first nine of the " Olympic," an organization
that was effected so far back as the year 1833.
THE GROITND
The spacious lot of ground of the Olympic
Club is located at Twenty-fifth and Jefferson
streets, north of the Spring Garden Water-
Works basin. The surrounding scenery is
handsome and picturesque. The surface of
the spacious lot is level, and the grass short,
thus presenting a very pretty green velvet
carpet of nature. Towards the southern part
of the enclosure the headquarters of the club
are located, beneath the grateful shade of a
row of buttonwood trees. In the rear of the
quarters a pump was sunk about two weeks
since, by which arrangement cool, whole
some, soft spring water may be drawn in
any quantity. The ground yesterday af
ternoon was the scene of considerable ex
citement of a pleasant character. Quite a
large number of spectators were there, beauti
fied by the presence of ladies, who seem to
take as much delight in the game as the other
sex. We observed, also, several distinguished
gentlemen attracted to the scene. The great
est order prevailed, and everything passed off
in the most excellent style. True, the "Olte
nia" were beaten, but they took the defeat
good nistureely, while the "Actives," at the
conclusion of the game, gave three cheers and
a " tiger," with a hearty good-will.
There were_quite a number of spectators on
the outside of the enclosure ; they arranged
themselves along the top of the mound of the
water-Works basin, from which elevated posi
tion they had a flee "How of the progress of
the:game. Indeed, this species of sports and
pastimes is indigenous to America ; it is our
national game ;'and of late it has caused quite
an unusual degree of excitement among that
class of society who never indulged in such
sport, and seldom gave it a thought. The
game, it may be said in a feW words, is de
signed to develop the musele, and thus
conduce to genuine health. It requires
activity. The nerves of motion and the
nerves of feeling are brought into
constant use. . The handling of the bat ;
the, throwing and catching of the ball ; the
running from One corner or Vase to the other
the almost constant racing to perform the der!
terous feat of" fly catching," bring every mus
cle and tendon into the fiilletit play, and induce
the greatest excitement at times. The sport
is manly, and will drive - more dyspepsia away
than half-a•dozen apothecary shops can pro
duce. In regard to the "Actives" winning a
ball, a New York paper of yesterday modestly.
observes, "we will venture the assertion that
the history of the defeat of the Athletics will
not be written on the page of the Actives'
score book this season." This subject will be
tested this afternoon, on the grounds of the
Athletics, at Columbia avenue and Fifteenth
streets. The great probability is that ten to
fifteen thousand persons will be present.. Quite
a number of New Yorkers arrived in the trains
of yesterday afternoon and last evening, and
more are expected at noon to-day, to witness
the exciting sport between the Actives and
the champion club of America. Those who
arc not initiated into this game may form
some idea of its meritorious attractions, from
the fact that gentlemen come more than "a
hundred miles to witness 'its performance,
when the actors are skilful players.
THE PLAY OF tiESTERD.A.I7
At three o'clock yesterday afternoon the
stars and stripes were run up to the apex of
the flag pole on the Olympic grounds, srnd un
furled their beauty in the northern breeze,
under the smiles of a cloudless sun. The
weather, it may be said, was pleasant. The
players took their position, and the Actives
soon exhibited their skill—we may say some
grace in their movements and artistic posi
tions. They - were brilliant. The batting was
splendidly executed, and the fielding dex
trous and superior. All of the fly-eatthes of
both parties were admirably done in fact,
some of them were extraordinary, and exe
cuted with great skill, that induced rounds of
applause among the spectators.

PEESDNTATION 05' A TESTMONIAL.—
Last evening the members of the Cooper-Shop
Volunteer Refreshment Committee presented
to Mr. James Toomey, One of their number, a
handsome testimonial, in writing, executed in
Dickson's 'finest style of penmanship. Mr.
Toomey has been attached to the Committee
from its earliest days, and it is not flattery
to say that be has been one of the most active,
successful in, and attentive to his self-imposed
duties. The preamble and resolution set forth
that Mr. Toomey, during the war for the
Union, has been associated with the maim
gers of the Cooper Shop, and that the meM.
berg generally consider it a just tribute
to him to acknowledge his untiring ef_
forts to further the particular designs
of the Association in its unceasing work of.
feeding and comforting, and encouraging the
brave defenders of our country while passing
through Philadelphia. The testimonial closes
With a vote of thanks to lan Toomey for his
disinterestedness in procuring money and
provisions in aid of the great object of the
Association. As a work of art, mechanically
speaking, the testimonial cannot be excelled.
It is IlallOomely flnished, in an ornamented
gilt frame, of unique coostruction. No gen
tleman ,could be found more worthy to re.
ceivo such a token of esteem than the recipi
ent, who has labored so i long, so faithfully, and
so well, in a glorious, palrietie Cause.

A SPIRITED ORtializzAVON.—The Vigi
lant Fire Company of Pittsburg, having de
termined to attend the firemen's parade in
Philadelphia, in October, with their powerful
steam-engine, hose carriage, three horses, and
some seventy members, were desirous of ob
taining a Pittsburg band to accompany them.
A disagreement arose ; the band, it is alleged,
thought there was not money enough in the
United States to pay them for their services,
the same as some of the bands in Phila
delphia thought. Be that as it may, the
Vigy" boys held a meeting and appointed
a Committee, of which Mr. R. C. Elliott was
chairman, who spent three hours in Chicago,
and returned with a contract for the far
famed, and, perhaps, the best uniformed band
in the United States to accompany the Vigi
lant to Philadelphia and return. We refer to

be disappointed. The band is composed of
some twenty pieces, and for those Quakerdel

will appear to be a big job to transport a band
nearly one thousand miles.

Two individuals, giving the names of Michael
Dowling and John Ryan, were arraigned yes.
terday on the charge of picking pockets. It
seems that a young man was robbed of his
watch at Seventh and Chestnut streets, on
Monday night. Several men crowded around
him. One snatched his watch and chain,
and another struck him on the head and
knocked him down. On Tuesday evening
the young man was passing the same point,
when he observed some of his assailants, anti

GPMBEAL GRANT BEFORE THE. WAR AND
Now.—Judge Moody, in a speech at the Sher
man banquet, in St. Louis, spoke as follows of
General Grant:
An intimate acquaintance of many years
enables me to do so. I Imew General Grant
long before this rebellion began. We were
both poor then, struggling for a livelihood.
We had no interest in the rise and fall of
stooks ; we bad no railroad shares nor corner
lots, and money for to-morrow's market was
often our chief subject of inquiry. I knew
him when he hauled wood to St. Louis on the
Gravels road, and later when, with impaired
health he sought the appointment to a county
but the wise county Court could not see
his merits. They appointed in his stead ano
ther man long since forgotten.
Three weeks ago I had an opportunity to
call on the General at his beautiful home ou
Georgetown Heights, and I declare to you now , '
I can see no difference in the manners of the
man now and when I first knew him. No fussy
bodyguard. on, "bay horses," no obsequious
orderlies, no while , aproned lackeys followed
him, and his three stars never get above the
horizon except when duty requires them to
appear.
In General' Grant the nation has a military
leader whom it need not fear to trust with
power. lie is modest and unassuming to a
fault; of ineOrrliptible integrity and ardent
love of country; jealous of the military power
and obedient to the civil ; devoted to present
duty, whatever that duty may be; plain and
simple in his taste and manners ; not desiring,
but studiously avoiding political popularity;
a faithful and devoted husband, fond father,
and affectionate son. He never forgot a friend
or remembered an enemy. His groat heart is
free from that master passion of little souls—
personal vindietiveneSS.
A suffering traveller in the oil regions in
timates that although " old wine needs no
bush," it is certain that the Bush House hi
Titusville needs old wine.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The money market, notwithstanding, the
desperate efforts of a combination of brokers
in this city andin New York to create an im
pression of stringency, is working easily, and
a good supply of funds can be obtained at
seven per cent. The receipts of the railroad
companies, SO far from falling off since the re
hellion ended, continue to show a regular in
crease, and the fall trade throughout the
country promises to be unusually, active and
profitable. The current year will add at least
5200,000,000 in gold valuation to our national
wealth from products of the Southern States.
This sum, being from sources closed to our
commerce for four years, is important in
strengthening our whole financial fabric by
additions of new active capital. Our com
merce has, therefore, more of the natural ele
ments of prosperity than it has had since 1800'
There was a good demand for Government
loans at the stock board yesterday, but prices,
excepting for the 10-40 s, were lower. 'The 1881 s

The New York Post of last evening Saps;
The chief points of interest in Wall street
are the excessive dulness of the stock market,
and thegrowing ease in money. The latter
result is due in part to the very limited de.
mend for loans, but chiefly to the heavypay
ments from the Treasury. Since we called at
tention to the Subject a week ago the disburse
ments from the New York office have been
136,515,414, while for the preceding six days
the amount was only $17,366,125.
Gold is steady at 144 1 /a141%. At the close,
144 1 / 4 was bid.
The loan market is moderately active, with
an ample supply at 7 per cent. A few special
transactions are reported at 6. Commercial
paper passes at 769,
The stock market is quiet, and aS many of
the leading purchasers are out of town, the
business of the day is extremely small.
Before the first session Erie was quoted at
5.5%; Hudson River at 113; Michigan Southern
at tie; Cleveland and Pittsburg at 70%; North
western at 2.5: 4 4 5 Northwestern Preferred at
OWL.
After the board the market was chill, but
firm. Erie rose to 86 ; Reading closed at ;
Michigan Southern at 66%; Illinois Central at
MI/Pittsburg at 70%; Northwestern at 29;
Northwestern preferred at 63%; Rock Island
at 108; New York Central at 92. 4 4,V93%.
At the one' o'clock call the market was
strong—Erie at 86%; Michigan Southern, 68%.
Later, Erie sold at s%
Pltiladelphis Markets.
