THE CITY. r
GBAwD MASS MEETING OF HONORABLY
TUSetartelltro SOLDIEns—A rermormr2 BMW! ,
•CIAL ASSOCIATION.—On Saturday evening the
honorably discharged soldiers held a mass
meeting at National Hall, on Market street,
for the purpose of adopting a constitution and
by-laws for their government. The attend
ance was pretty large. The Satterlee Brass
Band was in attendance, and discoursed most
,eloquent music. At quarter past eight o'clock,
P,Orgeant William S. Roster, of the 157th Penn
sylvania Volunteers, was called to the eh sir.
-upon entering on his official ditties, the Presi
dent said he hardly knew flow to express his
thanks for the honor thus conferred upon him
by so many of his comrades. In regard to the
object of the meeting, he had a few words
to say. It was not simply an organiza
tion of pecuniary interest, but one to
preserve the bond of union formed upon
the battle-field. It, is an organization that
will require care. We shouid carefully guard
against designing men hereafter who might
desire to use :us for their own advantage.
There are two rocks that we must steer clear
Of—they Are religion and politics. Let ,us do
this, and our association will live as long as
the glory that encircles the brow of the sol
diers who have fought for and maintained the
Union of the National Government. But just
as sure as we listen to designing men, either
in politics or religion, just that sure we will
eink; from thatmoment we are gone. But let
us steer clear of these two principal rocks,
and we will have an association that will com
mand respect and influence. With these few
remarks, the President said he had the honor
to introduce the Hon. John W. Forney. [Tre-
TtlendOns applause.]
Col. FORNEY spoke as follows;
If I were about to set a possible limit to
the gratitude that should express a nation's
value of such deeds as yours, my countrymen,
I" would first invoke a god-like power of flan
guage and illustration. - Let me suppose that
your efforts had failed. In the depth of our
despair, forgetting the lives that had been
Vainly sacrificed and the valor that had
been vainly displayed, we should have been
cast into outer darkness, like the sacred
hosts, if the rebellion of Satan had prevailed.
There would have been an end of war, but an
-end also of human liberty on this continent.
There would have been Peace, but the Peace
of desolation, starvation, and the grave. This
proud city, and that yet prouder metropolis,
which glows in all the marvellous splendor of
modern wealth and art, on the shores of the
Hudson, and receives into its capacious bosom
many of the treasures of the world, would
have been twinned in their ghastly and
horrible ruin. Yonder consecrated pile, where
the early sages articulated the great truth,
now a second tune embalmed in the best blood
of our race, would have been made the temple
of Slavery instead of the halidom of Free
dom ; and the places dedicated to science and
- to art would have been converted into barracks
where the guards of the tyrant would hold
in subjection the conquered but chafing multi
tudes who had lost their rights, but not their
manhood, in the fatal conflict. The mighty
ships that made the sea white with it friendly ,
commeree t and that held the great harbor of
New York in their circling arms as the fond mo
ther clasps the infant she loves, as if at once for
blessing and protection would be driven off
by the warlike foe, like affrighted eagles,
contemplating their country's woe in the
sadness of that despair which bewailed a
fate beyond. hope or rescue. Our liberties
gone, our nation's bond destroyed, the
States torn from the nourishing breast of
the Republic, trade severed front its foun
tains, and the great lines that hold the people
together with iron nerves and sinews, cut by
- the invader's hand, Industry would have had
no incentive, Invention no inspiration, and
Ambition no goal towards winch to strain
its energies. Where, then , would be those citi
zens whose affluence rivals what we have read
of the merchant princes of old, and whose in
comes, theproduct of associated enterprise and
of a united country ontdazzles the boasted
riches of the nabobs described in the delightful
pages of Macaulay, and celebrated in the glow
ing sentences Of Sheridan I - Beggars at the foot
stool of the conqueror, or forced contributors
to his arrogance and his pride. The wide bosom
of confiscation would have swept away their
stately fortunes, and' their splendid palaces
would have been occupied by our new masters
and their haughty retinues. , Your Govern
ment would have been a fugitive. Your faves
rite statesmen, even your gallant leaders,
would have been prisoners, and yourselves
probably paroled and thrown broadcast men
dicants upon a people too poor to support
and too unutterably despondent to make en
effort to redeem themselves. And here let
- me pause. Captives In such hands, how would
you have been treatedi Recall the • scenes
of - Libby, the horrors of Andersonville, the
atrocities after the first Bull Itun L and add to
them ten thousand new sufferings invented by
these students of revenge, who have made
a science of cruelty to their fellow-beings, and
you have some )idea of your own fate. And
what then of foreign Powers I Our foes during
the war ; with What fiendish exultation they
- would have hastened to complete the gloomy
catastrophe of our conquesti Oh, if there is a
darker doom than this—if human imagination
can conceive a sadder fate than, in that un
speakable event, would have befallen our dear
country, it must be reserved for some evil
spirit to whom is given the fatal gift of tor
turing the human ion], and of making a hell
Of the fair earth in which we live.
.
But, thank God, this is not your doom, nor
that of your country. The reverse of the pic
ture, so bright, so dazzling, and so marvellous,
is at once your record and your vindication.
For all that this nation may be hereafter, we
dare not forget that it is to St.Ch as you we are
indebted for it. Your triumph is the triumph
.of Freedom for ages. The poet who, in the ee
staey of his joy anticipated the future, ex
claimed,
"Visions of glory spare my aching sight;
Ye unborn ages rush not en my 50u1.,"
bad no such dream as that which you, my
brave countrymen, have placed among the
- vieione that are sure of realization. It is told
in the memoirs of one of our astronomers,
that once, in his investigations of the heavens,
his faith in God began to fail becauseat a cer
tain stage of his labors, he lost the tra
ces of a planet he thought be had dis
covered amid the nebulous and unsearcha
ble depths of the mysterious skies. At this
moment another instrument was placed in
his hands, and, lo i in an instant he
was introduced Into another world, in which
the system, the order, the mighty majesty of
the Creator, were so gorgeously proved that
he fell on his knees and implored forgiveness
for his immasive incredulity. In the dark
hours of the rebellion more than one stout
heart gave way, Out of the deep intensity of
our patriotism was born an exacting expecta
tion of victory, that could not bear a reverse,.
and too often censured Destiny in the face of
Defeat. We bad been so fortunate, so spoiled
with blessings, so elated with our sudden and
what seemed to be our secure happiness, that
when the cloud came to darken our sun we
almost quarrelled with Providence. And yet
the one cloud grew into many—the orb of day
went down—and the whole horizon was so
black with disaster that even the star of hope
Went Out. In that period of midnight despair,
it was your art, your noble sacrifices, that
saved us all. And as the lowering tempest
passed away, and the armies of slavery fled
terror-stricken before your puissant arms,
and the Star of peace and prosperity shone
upon your country, it was indeed not
only the salvation of a world that you
achieved, but the opening of the way to the
discovery and the redemption of other re
gions now and for centuries past without the
blessings of civilization and Christianity.
But these are words of praise. I came here
to-night in response to the invitation of your
committee, to speak for a more practical pur
pose: Satisfied as to the future of our coun
try, it becomes us next to consider how to pro
trade for those who have saved it, There is no
enestion more interesting and more impera
tive in its demand upon the statesman and the
philanthropist. The victorious defenders of
The republic, now nearly all at their homes,
are not the objects of charity, but of gene
rosity and of gratitude. Dlauy thousands
have gone back to the profitable avocations
they left at the time they enlisted. Many have
been sought out by the Government and earn-
Tunably provided for. Benevolent societies
and patriotic bodies, peal liberal and wealthy
individuals, have done and are doing much to
alleviate the sufferings and to meet tie. expec
tations of others. But the field for effort and
for assistance is still very wide. flow wide it
is, and how much there is for us to do, you
may understand when I tell you that, in the
•eight calls for troops by the President of the
United Stales, beginning with April 13, 13c1,
and endieg with DeceMber, 1804, two millions
six hundred thousand men were asked for to put
down the rebellion, end were nearly all obtained
by yowl - dory enlistment and by other methods.
Of this number, Pennsylvania contributed
three hundred and sixty thousand, according to
the report of Adjutant General Russell. Msl
Allowance for What is done by vu
lonia-1y and organized effort, much reninidu
for us to do. The City Relief funds - have been
discontinued by the close of the war. The
work given to soldiers> wives at our Govern
ment institutions, such as the Arsenal,' has
been greatly and necessarily reduced. The
Sanitary and Christian Commissions have ren
dered a noble closing net:aunt Of their Un
paralleled labors. It we only consider the
clainn, of those who are partially depend
ent, or not able to work at all, we Shalt be
startled at the exhibit. A single fact will suf
fice to show the force of this remark ; We find
that there are now on file in the Pension Bu
reau Jet" widows' applications for pensions,
and ileten invalids. The number of invalid
claims will be nearly doubled during the pres
sent year, owing to the discharge of the army,
and especially those men belonging to the
Veteran Reserve Corps, who nearly aR expect
to be
_pensioned.
These facts are eloquent appeals to the
patriotic and generous. They cannot be
made Stronger by additional figures. But
where is the remedy 1 Let toe be frank when I
say that I do not think the Government can do
much beyond what it has already done. liven
in the equalization of the bounties, which your
resolutions demand with somuch force, it may
be difficult to secure favorable legislation, in
view of the vastness of the public debt,
and the magnitude of the public expenses.
In the distribution of its patronage them
should be no hesitation in preferrieg the
competent soldier. No civilian should ob
ject either to share his pay with Or yield his,
office to his more deserving gallant fellow
citizen. And I am glad to note, and to honor
him in noting, that Andrew Johnson has acted
upon this policy, and has directed its ob
sereanoe in the Departments of the Govern
ment whenever opportunity or occasion
serves. Apart from the gratitude that should
make this exhibition spontaneous, the poli
tician will find it to his interest to discrimi
nate in favor of the soldiers in making nomi
nations for offices of trust or emolument. Let
us look at the figures : There are over 050,000
voters in this State--and it is a low estimate
that of the 800,000 men sent from Pennsylvania
- to the field, exclusive of those she loaned to
other States,9oo,ooo were voters ; and with their
friends and acquaintances capable of largely in
-creasing this number, and of wielding an al
most centreline influence. Row effective the
example and the suffrage of the fighting men
Call be, the soldiers' vote of 12G3, by which your
good friend, Gov. Curtin was re-elected, and
the tremendone majorities of Mai, in favor of
Abraham Lincoln, the martyred President of
the United States, may be cited with whole
80Me admohition. Will it be said that there
19 not an amount of ability and experience
among these brave men equal to the same
number of citizens who remained at home l I
veDl not stop tO answer a question that an
'swera itSelf. For my own Dart and %peaking
-wit, tiet full sense of the_ foree of the words I
1113 e I do not think we should lose by en
trulthig our best civil positions to the
brave noteh have rescued the Re
public. I Only do not fear, I wel
afxperiment: And if, in the next
eOme 'the
election, your choice for Governor should be
citizen who has proved his eloquence in the
forum and his bravery on the field, not
tnaetle taat, Would QOM of it; nor yet
anti. our crest would be lowered, or our fair
f ant o taraistal, or the examples of - the great
men of other days dishonored if, in thehighest
as in ' the secondary branches of Congress,
those who have won the applause of the world
its fgisting down the rebellion should be seated,
monuments of tie - gratitude of their country.
But the nraetiCal MethOda of relief are, at
last. to come from those great and prosper
cue bodies Who, having done so rattell to aid
the Government in the prosecution of the war,
and so much to ,alleviate the necessities and
privations of the troops and their families,
stand ready, as I believe, to resume their no
ble mission in the presence of this new invoca
tion, It may be said that, to carry on the Go
vernment, and to pay the interest- on our na
tional debt, will necessitate continuous and
burdensome taxation i and that our wealthy
men, and those who knew nothin. , of
~ war save
as they read it over their breakfasts, will re
sist and reject such an appeal. I know that
this is anticipated in some quarters, but
I believe that all that is necessary to call
forth another flood of patriotic benevo
lence and gratitude, is to show that
there is a necessity for it. There is not
a loyal heart Ithat will not respond to
the call. The efficient societies that closed
their doors on the event of peace will open
them to assist in the grand objects you have
in view. The splendid sisterhood that made
the name of American Woman a synonym for
all that was heroie and sublime in every land,
will gladly revive its wonderful mission.
And every party and every sect will strive to
do its uttermost to show that, in the midst of
our thanks to God for a saved country, we
have not forgotten those who, under His eye
and by His providence, completed the work of
redemption and of retribution.
The distinguished speaker retired amid the
most deafening applause, which, having sub
sided,
The President introduced Mr. Charles W.
Alexander, who read the preamble, constitu
tion, and by-laws, the CousideratiOn of which
was postponed. --
Letters were now read by Mr. Secretary
Brown, as follows': One from Major General
Meade; one from Governor Curtin, by his pri
vate secretary ; one from Postmaster Walborn,
by his chief clerk, Mr. Ireland; one from the
Eon. Leonard Myers ; and one frem A. G. Cat
tell, Esq.
The President now introduced Colonel W. B.
Thmas, 'OW csillectQx of the Port of Philadel
phia, who spoke In substance as follows
The speech of the evening, gentlemen, has
been delivered by the Hon. ifohn W. Forney,
[applause,] and now that you have before you
for consideration the constitution and by-laws
of an association, you are assembled in a busi
ness capacity. He was present for the pur
pose of manifesting his approval of the plan
about to be adopted. It certainly met his en
tire approbation. [Applause.] He did not
know that he could better entertain the
meeting than by briefly giving an account
of his stewardship. It is well known that
be had been placed in official position
by the courtesy of the President of the.
United States, and, as an officer Of the Go
vernment. he believed it to be his duty to re
gard the claims of the soldier above those of
civilians. [Great applause.] . He thought it
the duty of the soldiers to claim a share of the
offices in the city. [Renewed applause.] He
would take occasion to say that in the stormy
times of the past he had raised regiments upon
several occasions. In order to do so, he made
an appeal to the men holding positions in the
Custom-House to enlist, or resign. The re
sponse was met, and all the men of the
Custom-House, with the exception of fif
teen or - -twenty, were soon in the ranks.
Of those not there, Seine were invalids ;
others believed in nenreSistance,althoughphy
sleety. able to shoulder a musket; these non
resistants resigned theirposition. Col. Thomas
further remarked that in all applications for
office he gave the competent military man the
preference ; and he really wished he had the
power to place every soldier in a good posi
tion. [Rounds of applause.] He was sorry,
indeed that his Chance of appointing theta is
limited. He has, he supposes, upwards of a
thousand applications on his table from Briga
dier Generals down to privates, all soliciting
Positions ; and, although every man of them is
entitled, yet it is utterly impossible for him
to accommodate them.
He lied often been asked the question—" are
you not bored to death by the SOialers
No, he replied; he listened attentively . to
all of them, and the only annoyance he felt
was that the chances of acceding to their re
quests are so very slim. In the dispensation
of offices it would be about one to every flee
hundred or thousand soldiers • so you can
readily See bow slim the chance is for an ap
pointment. When a civilian applied for office . ,
whose petition was in proper form and, well
backed, he would ask the applicant what he
thought of the claim of a soldier for such pa
sition—a soldier fully competent, although
Maimed for life. The civilian at once admit
ted the right of the soldier. [Renewed ap
plause.] This appears to be the feeling on the
part of the civilians generally, and, so far as
he (Colonel Thomas) was concerned, he would
always give those who fought for the country
a preference over those whom the soldiers
fought to protect. [Applause.] In conclusion
Colonel Thomas said that, while he considered
theplan and claims of the soldiers good, yet
their chances are small, and, when they
thought of this, he hoped they would be chari
table to the appointing power.
Colonel Thomas retired amid rounds of ap
plause.
The following resolutions were now submit
ted. They were adopted with great enthusi
asm:
Resolved, That the heartfelt thanks of every
soldier is due to C. W. Alexander, Esq., pub
lisher of the Soldiers' Casket, for his earnest and
unwavering•_advocacy of the soldiers' cause.
Resolved, That his offer and pledge to place
the casket at the free disposal of the soldiers
and soldiers' aSSOCiatinns as a channel of Com
munication between them, untditoted by poli
tics, receives our unqualified admiration and
assent.
. .
Resolved, That an engrossed copy of these
resolutions be pres ented to Mr. Alexander.
Major General 'Collis was loudly called for,
and spoke in substance as follows :
Sol :nuns As I understand it, you are called
together to-night for two purposes; First, to
impress yellhrtellow-citizens with the import
ance of providing employment for the thou
sands of returned soldiers; and second, to
adopt measures to secure for the volunteers of
'6l and '62 the same Government bounties paid
to those of , 63, and
my own 'opinion is that the first, at the pre
sent time, s the most important, for the ques
tion of bounties will, at best, have to be Sub
mitted to a tedious course of legislation.
I believe the subject of employing our re
turned soldiers is the great 9uestion of the day.
It should occupy the attention of our states
men, and to our capitalists it should present
itself as a great question of political econo
m You y men,. who bore your muskets in the
thickest of the light, are, after all, the men
who have saved the Republic. True, you have
had able men to plan for and lead you. You
have had the gallant General who drove Lee
and his thousands from your own State, at
Gettysburg,
.[Cheers.] You have had the gal
lant hero orthe West, who marched his legions
from the banks of the Ohio to the shorea of the
Atlantic. [Cheers.] You have had the gal
lant, galloping Phil Sherridan. [Cheers.] You
have had the dashing - Pennsylvanian, who, on
the memorable 12th of May, at Spottsylvania,
while commanding the immortal 2d Corps,
sent word ; " 1 have finished Johnson, and am
now going into .tarly.. [Cheers.] But above
all, you have bad that quiet, unassuming hero
of the war, who, puffing away at his cigar,
wrote to our lamented President: "I will
fight it out on this line if it takes all summer."
[Enthusiastic applause.] Although you are
disbanded and sent back to your homes, the
Government knows that, should its honor be
again insulted, at home or abroad, it would
he but necessary to sound tile "assembly " at
the street corners, and your thinned battalion§
would again form to defend it.
Capitalists and all employers must know
that by employing the willing hands which.
have just lain down the musket, the price of
labor will fall, trade will increase, and taxa
tion will be reduced.
It must not be forgotten that four years, the
best young mechanics of our country, some of
them with wives and families dependent upon
them, have been doing yeoman service for
their fellow-citizens at thirteen, sixteen and
eighteen dollars a month, while few, very few,
of those who remained at home have suffered
great pecuniary loss, and many have made no
personal sacrifices. I feel sure that in time a
grateful public will provide for you suitable
employment, but our efforts must he devoted
to getting work to-day. I want to see every
Navy-Yard and Arsenal, and every Post-Office
filled with men who have saved those Navy-
Yards and arsenals, at the peril Of their lives.
(Great applause.)
The Old world is amazed that a people un
used to war can enlist, organize, and drill a
million of men for the field in a few months—
amazed that we can subdue a rebellion cover
ing an area of thousands of miles, and sus
tained by a force - almost as large as our own;
but snore than amazed to hear that we have
disbanded our million and a half of men in tiVO
months, and sent them back to their homes.
Let us continue to cater to their astonishment,
and send word to them that our returned he
roes are all at works that our one-armed men
are earning their sixty dollars a month, ren
dering good service to their city, State, or Na
tional Govorninent, in some civil waeity;
that our sheriff 4 and prothonotaries and
clerks go to and from their offices upon their
crutches. Tell them this, and ask them whe
ther it is true that republics are ungrateful.
To gain these objects, it is essential that you
soldiers should work together in solid column.
Let your influence be felt. State your claims
respeetfuliy, but firmly. But, above all, keep
together; for I tell you there aro breakers
ahead yet, and no class is more interested in
stemming the flood from the South, which
threatens to inundate us, than you soldiers.
Take care that these very people whom you
have been fighting, associating themsely,es
with the traitors at the North, whom also you
have been lighting . , do not come to Washing
ton, and, brushing aside the Union soldiers'
claims with one hand, present with the other
their pension list for the wounded sons of the
South ! [Cries of "Never! Never!"] Take care
that they do not come to Washin,gton, and tell
the Secretary of the Treasury , that the eight
greenbacks be pays to the widow of the dead
patriot are worthless unless the millions of
Southern booth are honored by the General
Government. [Cries of "They never shall!']
Pardon me if I am touching upon polities ;
but I tell you this is emphatically a soldiers'
question. and, therefore,
. fl it becomes impor
tant thaf, our Governmein should encourage
and reward this element, whose interest it is
to oppoSe all attempts to make the North pay
one dollar of treason.
At the conclusion of his remarks the General
was loudly cheered; after which the meeting
adjourned to meet again at the call of the Come
mittee of Arrangements.
CoI.PLIORATION OF THE COHOCKSINIC
Iro4 WORICS.—On Saturday morning about
four o'clock, the immense building, located on
Germantown road, below 'Emirs street, known
as the Cohocksink Iron Works, was discov
ered to he on iire. The Cohocksink Presbyte
rian Church, a new and beautiful structure,
was on flre several times, but it WAS saved
from destruction. The iron works belonged
to the estate of Charles Cornell, and covered
a site fifty feet by three hundred. It was oc
cupied by several parties. The flames first
appeared on the third story, and they spread
With alarming. rapidity. The excitement, at
the time, defies adequate description. The
residents in an adjacent Court, whose retreat
was likely to be cut oft, commenced removing
their household goods. The women and chid_
dren screamed ; the men ran to and fro; and
amid all this work of confusion,roaring flames,
black smoke and desolation, children became
separated from their Maternals. Some idea
may be formed of the attending consternation,
lint it cannot be readily written.
The first story and the rear part of the sec
ond and third story were ocoupied by the
Cornell estate. The front, part of the second
story by Mr. George Snyder,earpenter,ahh the
larger portion of the third story by Postal &
Co., manufacturers of painted window shades.
The losses are estimated as follows : Cornell
estate, sl3,ooo—no insurance. Postal .t Co.,
i loss te,ooo—insurance *3,000. Mr. Snyder, loss
4030—n0 insurance. A considerable amount of
wigked.llloPrial, tile% U., WU@ lAtireii de
stroyed. Patterns belonging to the iron foun
dry, the accumulation for many years,; were
destroyed, The adjacent property was in
great danger, but the promptitude of the fire
men saved it. The Cohocksink steam engine
and Ringgold Hose:Companies paid particular
attention to the Presbyterian Church erected
a few years since, and its safety may be at
tributed to the well directed efforts of those
branches of the Fire Department.
THE COMING PARADE OF THE FIRE
bIEN.—The Firenien's parade in October
promises to be not only the largest ever seen
in Philadelphia,but the largest ever witnessed
in this country. Music is in great demand,
but fortunately all the companies have made
contracts, some of them with bands in distant
cities. Our people will thus have an opportu
nity of hearing all the celebrated bands in the
country, including the famous 9th Regiment
Band of New York, under the `leadership ; of
Professor Grafalla. This band Will accompany
the Firemen's Association of New York, which
represents the whole of the New York Fire
Department. There will be sixty members,
principally from the Firemen and Engineers
of the Department, /debars, Thomas Lawrence;
Peter V. Everett, and Asssistant Engineer
Lamb, will be in the city to-day and tumor
row, to make arrangements for the intended
visit.
Engine Company No, 44, "Live Oak Associa
lieu," also intend participating in the October
parade. This organizallon has appointed
Messrs. Wm. F. Squires,Thas. L. Miller, Wm.
M. Oakley, and John J. Miller, a committee to
make preparations for the company : k`here
are other companies Irroposlng to visit us. But
for the establishment of the Paid Fire Depart
ment in New York and the consequent disor.
ganization of the Volunteer Department, we
should have had an immense turn out from
that city.
From the East the companies will be Hume.
roux. 'The New York Tribune announces that
sixty companies will pass through Jersey , City
the day before the parade, en route ftir.'Phila
delphia. The members of Liberty Engine
Colnpany No. 1 (steamer) of Jersey City, are
making preparations to visit Philadelphia in
October,vand while here will be the guests of
the Terseveranee Hose Compeny. About slaty
active and honorary members wilt man the
ropes.
The Vigilant Eire Company of Pittsburg,
having determined to attend the parade with
their steam engine, hose carriage '
and some
seventy members, were desirous of obtaining
a Pittsburg band to accompany them, but a
band Could not be had in the town for love or
money. A meeting of the Company was SR
cordingly held, and a committee, of which Nr.
C. Elliott was chairman, was sent to Chi
cago, and returned with a contract for the fai
famed Western Light Guard Band, perhaps
the best uniformed band hi the United States,
to accompany the Vigilant to Philadelphia and
return.‘ The band Comprises some twenty
pieces.
The Good - Will 'Fire Company of Trenton
will also be with us. This organization will
number ninety men, equipped with red coats
and shirts, and will have with them a steam
fire engine that will compare with any ma
chine in the line.
CRICKET—ASHLAND vs. OLYMPIAN.—
On Saturday afternoon, the return between
the above-named emus was played. Fortu.ne
again smiled on the Ashlgnd, they beating the
Olympian by nine runs. The game throughout
a - as finely contested. The' small scores ob.
tamed may be attributed to the excellent
fielding of both clubs. The bowling was first
class, and had the grounds been in better
order, More certeints of pitch could have
been attained, and enabled the hatalnall to
calculate with better judgment. .

SERIOUS FIFE—ST. GEORGE'S M. E.
CIiIIRCIL BADLY DAM'AO.ED.—AbOIat nine o'clock
on Saturday morning the roof of St. George's
M. E. Church, - on Fourth street, near New, was
discovered to be on fire. The roof Was old and
dry, and burned - furiously, emitting dense
volumes of black smoke. A number of steam•
ers were promptly on the ground, but the
flames lking mostly between the ceiling and
the roof could not be easily reached. It was
entirely destroyed, the only thing remaining
being a few charred beams. It is supposed to
have taken lire from a spark from a neigh
boring chimney.
The church was quite old, having been built
in 1761 It was first occupied by the Methodist
Church m 17ffi. Daring the Revolution it was
taken possession of by the British, who con
verted it into a hospital, and later, into a
Cavalry barrrek. In 1837 it was remodeled,
and received its present form. It was insured
in the Fire Association for nine thousand dol
lars, which, it is believed, will be amply suffi
cient to repair all damages.
The premises adjoining on thi south side,
occupied by Adam Keller ft Son, undertakers,
were slightly damaged by fire and water, as
well, also, the roofs of the houses Nos. 223 and
225, occupied by J. Schnaitman, optician, and
N. Kalck, carver,
Until the church can be repaired, the eon
gregation have been invited to worship at
the M. E. Church on Fourth street, below
Arch, of which Rev. G. D. Carrow is pester.

ANOTHER VICTIM TO REBEL CRUELTY.—
Captain Washington Airey, aged 22 years died
on Saturday evening, from disease contracted
during fourteen months of rebel imprison
ment. He enlisted in the Anderson Cavalry
at the time of its Orgtinization in Philadel
phia. He meritoriously won the position of
captain. At Dandridge, in East Tennessee, he
led a charge against a rebel cavalry horde;
his horse was shot, and he was taken prisoner.
The American charge was unsuccessful. For
One year and two months he suffered, with
thousands of others, in the rebel pest pens,
and became inoculated with a' disease that
finally resulted in his death, on Saturday
evening, the third 'anniversary of the day he
enlisted. Thus has another brave young man
sealed with his blood his devotion to his
country.

cal cauldron will of course soon commence to
boil. In the Democratic ranks there does not
seem to be such a furors for the nominations
as vas the case when that organization was

of Democracy. The contest for delegates
among the Unionists is lively in all sections of
the city.

THE PRESS. - PHILADELPHIA.; MONDAY, AUGUST 14, L,665:
OUT-DOOR TEMPERANCE MEETING.—
Under the AuspiCes of the ilierophant Division
of the Sens of Temperance, an out-door tem
perance meeting was held yesterday after
noon in the market place at Girard avenue
and Frankford road. Addresses were de - .
livered by Messrs. Coleman and Coates. The
meeting was pretty large and orderly. Intem
perance seems to be on the increase. It is a
pity that so many young men are making
themselves swift candidates. to poverty,
wretchedness and ruin. Theyareblasting their
prospects by inordinate drinking of spirituous
liquors. The system of treating each other,
as it is called, is most pernicioua,and:ought.to
be stopped. The plan adopted by the Ger
mans in their native land, might be emulated
in this country with beneficial effect to Pos
terity, as well as those who are at present
acting their part on the stage of existence.
The system of treating is not popular in Ger
many. The inordinate use of liquor hiteth
like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. A
man is as much of a fool to get drunk as he
who would thrust his hand into the fire; be
cause the weather may be cold.
The liquor to be had everyday is very much
adulterated,, some of it Poisonous., It eats
holes in the liver; incapacitates the drinkerS
from self enjoyment; sets them crazy, forces
them to beat their wives ; turn their ,children
out of doors ; finally commit murder, and end
their own lives by suicide or on the gallows.
The warning voice from the scaffold in the
prison yard, "beware of strong drink," seems
to be powerless. DrmikenneSs, it is contend-
WOO a disease. This assertion has been made
time and again by educated men, Such an
opinion is absolute nonsense. There is no dis
ease abont drunkenness. It is a serious
evil habit that people get into because
they like the taste of liquor; and they
must be poor, weak-minded creatures in
deed, who cannot summon sufficient moral
courage to overcome it. There seems to be
entirely too much latitude given in the way of
licensing people to sell liquor. We counted
no less than "eight whiskymilis" in fullblast,
within the seopeibf only seventeen houses. In
some squares there are a dozen of such places,
where the bottles of liquid destruction are
emptied day and night to the youth Of both
sea; and this, too, on that great thoroughfare
in Chestnut street. There is much work to do.
The Rierophant Division has set an example
that ought to be followed by others. If the
members of that Order should tarn their at
tention to the erection of a House of Correc
tion, to be governed by stringent laws, a salu
tary reform would soon be apparent. That
would be a capital place for these "poor er
ring" brethren and sisters, who have the
"rum disease."
FELL DEAD.--About eight o'clock on
Sunday 'morning a man fell dead at Second
and Laurel streets. The body was conveyed

The horses and cars are all safe. It is not ex
actly known how the fire originated.
SIIPPOSE'D TO BE STOLEN.--An owner is
wanted for two boxes, at the Ninth-ward sta

made up into clothing. This he would sell or

Michael Is an accomplice of Lewis Levi,
who was Committed a Short time since for a
similar offence, and that the pair of
worthies had been making preparations for
a departure to New Orleans. It is not
improbable that the contemplated trip will
be postponed. A further hearing will be had

ago, he left his bounty money, amounting to
050 with Martin and told him to use it in his
business. When , 110 returned he went and de
mended his money. Martin could not PAVO it
to him, but said tuat he would give it to him
as fast as he could.
Martin, in reply, said that more than a year
ago Whales came to his house, destitute and
hungry, with no place to go to. He took him
into his house and kept him for some time.
Then Whales wanted to gO into the navy, and
he went to ship him. WhaleS gave him the
money and told him to use it until he came
back,when he would go into bushiest with him.
In reply to some cross-questions from the
alderman, Whales said Olathe came from Eng

In the navy. He staid fifteen months and was
discharged. This discharge he lost. . About
three weeks after his discharge ite enlisted
again, and was again discharged in July, M,
having served eleven months.
This suit had been brought by him at the in
stigation of a Mrs. 'Bayne, with whom he was
at present boarding. Martin had asked him
to come and board tree at his house, until the
money could be said, but he refused. When
the attention of Whales was caned...to the dig:
erepancy of ten months in his story, hut
either could not or would not explain what
he had been doing in that interval, and re
iterated his previous account of the matter,
the case was held over until Saturday after

Lewis Allman, a darkey, Was arrested by

HEAVY ROBBERY OP A SILK STOEII.
The sewing silk store of Mr. P. S. Hovey, 231
Chestnut street, was robbed on Saturday
morning early of silk, variously estimated at
from $6,000 to nem*. The robbers bad a horse
and wa l gou standing on Market street, as seen
by a private watchman of a, nainber of stores.
This watchman also saw a man on the side
steps of the rear door of the store of Messrs.
Whittaker & Shantz, at the corner of Bank
and Chestnut streets. lie thought he was
drunk. The horse and wagon remained on
Market street for a considerable length of
time. It seems, upon examiningthe premises,
that an entrance was effected through the roar
doorway of Messrs. W. & S. , s store by means of
false keys. The robbers reached the roof,
from which they lowered themselves to the
adjoining roof, a distance of eight or ten feet.
They forced the trap-door of the house No.
231, and descending to the second story helped
themselves to a large quantity of sewing silk
and twist. They must have made their exit
by the same way they entered ; then carry..
ing the goods to Market Street, put them into
the wagon, and drove away I This is oertainly
one of the most daring robberies that has
taken place for some time. There are several
private watchmen and public officers always
on duty here, or ought to be, in the night-time.
The robbers Are evidently old hari oB at the
business. 4

Edward. Nixon and. John Corron were ar
raigned., ork Saturday, on the .ebarge. of assault
and battery with intent to kill, and with car
rying concealed deadly weapons. • The evi
dence developed the facts that on Friday even
ing, between nine and ten o'clock, a young

AN liffaluswrmo CASE.
On Saturday morning an interesting Case
Came up on a writ of - habeas corpus in the
Court of Quarter Sessions of which the follow
in g are the particulars : A Mr. Peyssantcharged
William Rich with assault and battery and
highway robbery. The ease came up before
his Honor, Judge Ludlow. As usual, Mr.
Formant was required to rehearse his story
.in order that the Judge might decide whether
the original binding over was justified by the
testimony. Aceording to Mr, Peyssant's story,
he was walking with a young lady at nine
o'clock on the evening of the 4th of July last,
when Mr. Rich approached him and struck
him a violent blow between the eyes. This
staggered him, and be tell against the house.
In the course of the struggle he received a
severe wound in the arm, but whether by the
fall or by an instrument in Mr. Rich's posses
sion he could not tell. This was the assault
and battery with intent to kill. The highway
robbery consisted, in taking an umbrella be
longing to the young lady.
This was the whole of Mr. Peyssant's story.
He gave an explanation for the attack, and the
inference from his testimony was that he
knew of no'reason for what he termed an un
provoked attack.
But Mr. Rich bad a lawyer who brought out
the whole truth on cross-examination. In this
examination, Mr. Peyssant acknowledged that
his wife was with Mr. Rich, but he objected to
tell much about the young lady he was With,
and appealed to the Judge to know whether
that bad anything to do with the ease. He
gained no sympathy from Judge Ludlow/ and
was obliged to tell where the young lady re
sided. Then came the secret of the attack.
Question. Was this young lady with you at
tacked?
Answer. Yes, sir.
Question. By whom?
Answer. Both by the man and Mrs.Peyssant.
Question. Didn't you strike your wife?
Answer. Prove it! I deny it: I never put
my finger upon a woman in my life !
Question. You didn't knock her down?
Answer. No. ...
Miss Anna Hadley, the young lady with
Mr. Peyssant, was next examined. She testi
fied that she was walking with Mr: Peyssant
when a woman Came up behind her and took
hold of her and choked her, and then tore her
collar off ; next, she tore her bonnet off; wit
ness made a noise, whereupon Mr. Peyssant
turned around to see what was the matter;
Mr. Rich then came up and attacked him.
- Cross-examined.—l had hold of Mr. Peys-
Sant'S aria; Mrs. Peyssant came up behind
me and hissed in ms ear, !You-.; " i don't
know where she lives. I don't know that she
attends store for Mr. Rich and lives with his
wife ; don't know that she has lived there
since her husband left her.
Question. Don't you know that she has lived
there ever since her husband left her and
lived with :Nu?
Answer. It is the first I knew that he lived
with me ! This is the third time she, has at
tacked nie.
This closed the case. The counsel for Mr.
Rich asked for his discharge. Judge Ludlow
said there was a technical case of assault and
battery, but he would reduce the bail to $5OO.

HOUSE OF REFUGE GABE
The case of George Welsh, a lad eleven years
old, lately committed to the House of Refuge,
