THE TRIAL OF DAVIS.
The London Times' Correspondent's
Estimale Of Northern Feeling—An Im
partial and Temperate 'View of the
An American correspondent of the London
Times sends the following observations on the
approaching trial of Jed' Davis to that jour
nal'
AS the time of Mr. Davis' trial draws nearer,
the interest which is felt in its result in
creases. It was thought that by _postponing
the event public opinion in the North would
Soften towards Davis, but :there is no indica
tion of such a change; on the contrary, Mr
euMstanees are always occurring which
strengthen the general desire to see the heavi

thing will satisfy a very large portion of the
people hut Mr. Davis , life. Even the most
moderate men express a feeling of anxiety lest
the Government should be contented with his
banishment. This eager craving for vengeance
on an individual, notWithStandiug the awful
visitation which hag fallen upon the entire.
South, and which might seem enough to ap
pease the demands of the most vindictive, may
appear very
i reprehensible to people in Eng
land, but it s not so unreasonable as it looks at a
distance. Not only can it be explained, but justi
fied ; U dOes notarise from party passion, but from
the remembrance of deeds which are more horrible
than the English public can have any idea of, and
it is constandyfed by new proofs of barbarity per
petrated upon Federal prisoners. If there is any
bitterness entertained by the Northern peo
hle toward the South—and very rarely indeed
ave I seen evidences of it—it springs from
the same cause which inaleeg them talk Of
Davis as of a being scarcely human. That
Rause is the incredible and infamous treatment
which the Northern captured soldiers received
in Southern prisons.
The evidence upon which the charges of
cruelty rest is overwhelming and unanswerable.
A Sanitary Commission was appointed by the
EGOeernment toinqutre into the circumstances,
and the members of it examined a great many
men who had been prisoners in the South,
some of whom were at death's door when they
told their story. The testimony has been pub
lished by official sanction, and photographs of
a few of the prisoners are erehxed to the narra
tive. Photographs do not lie, and these pic
tures of living Skeletons, covered with hor
rible sores and wounds, speak foe themselves.
But still more painfuewitnesses against the
prisons of the South are to be met with in al
most every village, in the presence of poor
young fellows who have returned in a state of
adioey, or paralyzed or eaten up with scurvy.
A wretched object was pointed out to me the
either day. There were still the traces of a
robust and strong man about Min, but he wax
physically a wreck, and his mind was utterly
gone. When it is considered that at Anderson
rille, the Confederates put the Northern pri
.soners on a piece of land without even a tent to
cover them, that atropical sun beat down upon
their headS, and that they had not food enough
given them to keep a dog alive, it cannot
cause surprise that mind and-body alike broke
down. It is a fact, and an awful one to realize,
that around that prison-field of And ersonville
fifteen thousand Northern soldier?, taken cap
tive, lie buried. Fever and starvation laid
them all low. Is the regular prisons, where at
least shelter from heat- or cold was provided,
the men were hudilted together so that it was
almost impossible to breathe in the rooms.
When they went to the windows to get a little
fresh air, they were shot down from outside
by the sentinels. This crime is proved to have
been committed in scores of cases. The evi
-deuce, as I have said, is before the world ; the
Southern leaders do not attempt to contradict
it. They only say they did as well as they
Could, and all one's wishes and hopes would lead
one to believe them. But here again, unfortunate
ly, the evidence is too strong in disproof of their
words. At Libby, Close to Davis' house . , the
prisoners were literally starving. Their friends
in the North heard of this, and sent them boxes
of provisions. These boxes were stored is
sheds directly in front of the prison, so that
the men could see them from their windows,
but the authorities refused to disturb them,
The prisoners died from hunger in the
sight of plenty. The Southern defence
is that this was a retaliatory measure, used
because there bad been a complaint about the
treatment of Southern men in the North. But
it is prot , ed beyond all doubt—and every Con
federate soldier, private or ofileer, who iS
questioned on the subject admits it—that in
the Northern prisons no distinction whatever
was made between Federal and Confederate •
both were carefully looked after, and always ha d
proper clothing and food. * * * * *
It is veilly easy for you Englishmen to talk
about mercy- and forgiveness," eeid a lady
talking of this subject, "but how would yea
have felt toward the Russians if they, had
starved and murdered fifteen thousand of
Sour soldiers in one prison ? It is this feel
mg. which extends through every class of
society in the North. To condemn it with
out we - lE'llln- the circumStaTlCAS which pro
ciuee it, is t o less than justice to a people who
are ready to shake hands with every Southern man,
and to help him with money, provided he was not a
leader among mem. As a body the Northern
people are impatient to be friends with the"
South. It is only against the leaders that they
bear animosity, and it is chiefly concentrated
upon the head of Davis ; for lie lived within a
stone's throw of Libby Prison, whence the
corpses Of starved men were daily carried out
in large numbers. It may be asked," Did Da
vis and Lee know of the manner in. which
Southern prisoners were treated'!" The North
believe they did, and, therefore, as I have said,
the cry for their lives, flowerer repulsive it
'May sound, is not a cry raised without provo
cation. It is net the wild Wapner of a mob ;
and it is so far deep and general that Ibelieve
the Government will have to resist the
whole force of public opinion in the North
if Mr. Davis is to save his life. "If,"
says a writer who truly reflects the
views of the people on this subject, "Ge
neral Lee had been determined not to have
prisoners starred or abusedl does any one
doubt that lie could have prevented these
things? Nobody doubts it.s And so of Davis :
"The chief of a so-called Confederacy, who
would calmly consider among his official docu
ments incendiary plots for the secret destrnc.
Don of ships, hot els, and cities full of peaceable
people, is a Chief well worthy ,to preside over
such cruelties 5 but his only j net title is. Pre
sident of Assassins, and the whole civilized
world should make common cause against
such a miscreant." I do not know whether
this argument and this langua ge will be deem
ed conclusive or satisfactory in England ; -
they are certainly held to be so here, and,
after all„ it is in America that Mr. Davis is
to be tried. Ills friends might see a worse
fate befall him than his death in Fortress
Monroe.

formation as aninstitution. The ceremonies of
dedication consisted of a parade of the mem
bers with their apparatus.
"TSB rttoczsStoil
The procession formed at half-past four
o'clock, at the oh house on Union street. The
members turned out two ht3ndred and fifty
strong, attired in citizens' dress. They were
under the marsbalship of Thomas 11. Pete,
and were headed by a fine l?and of music.
They had with them their steam nre engine,
drawn by fourbeautiful horses, their hose car
riage, in elegant order, drawn by the mem
bers, and their beautiful ambulance. They
proceeded over the following route: Union
street to Second, thence to Lombard, thence&
Third, thence to - Monroe, thence to Second,
thence to Queen, thence to Sixth, thence to
Shippen, thence to Seventh, thence to Catha

thence to 'Walnut, thence to SeTentechtb,
thence to Chestnut, thence to Third, thence to
Pine, and thence to new house.
NEW ROUSE
The property formed part of the Willing es
tate, The old mansion-house has been torn out,
and a new iron front has been put into the first
floor, with two large double doors and three
small ones. Two tracks are laid upon the
floor of sufficient length to hold two rows of
apparatus three deep. To the left of the en
trance is the hose tower and entrance to the
second story. The tower is four feet square
and dity-SiX feet high, thus allowing a section
of hose to be ex - tended its full length. The
walls of the building are made in imitation of
Pictou stone. The sitting-room is on the first
floor, and is twenty-two by thirty feet. In the
rear of this room is the stable, paved with
granite blocks. It has four stalls, two of
which are floored with boards, and two lined
with fire-brick clay. The parlor on the second
floor is forty feet square, and is to be frescoed
in the highest style of the art. • The bunk
room adjoining is twenty by fifty-six feet, and
contains twenty-eight single closets. The Ceil
ing is eighteen feet high, frescoed throughout
in panels and centre pieces. The floor is car
peted with Brussels, and there are twenty-two
iron bedsteads in the room. The bath-room
connecting with the bunk-room is fitted up in
admirable style. The dining room is on the
third story; it is large, and well adapted for
the purposes for whichit is intended.
The house was thus formally taken posses
sion of, and in the evening the President of
the company, Peter. Williamson, Esq., deli

THE ADDIIEBB OR' DEDICATION
He said, we are assembled here on this anni

hall, which, after much anxiety and no little
labor has been so far completed in its adapta

enable us to enter upon its occupancy with
every reasonable expectation that for all fu

erbliip in a building not surpassed in conveni
ence by any similar association, it would be a
reflection, upon the energy and zeal of Mel
members to admit even the possibility of
failure.
Through the liberality of the Trustees of
the Fire Association, this property was se
eared by purchase at a cost of nine thousand
dollars, and the work of making the necessary
alterations was soon commenced, and thus far
prosecuted under circumstances the most dis
couraging and unfavorable to success, during
a period of great public embarrassment and
financial difficulty. But impressed with the
importance of the undertaking, the matter
was pusbela forward with great zeal, and. with
a result, if not tke most satisfactory, yeV
tainly exceeding our expectations. The ap -
er then went into a

certainty to have been on the 17t.11 day of Au
gust, 1805.
At the meeting held in November, 1805, the
record is made of the first movement of the
company to procure hose; by the appointment
of a committee to contract for three hundred
feet, and also to have the hats painted at an
expeLeo of soventytive cents each, and at the
same time to procure lantern*, trumpets, and
wrenches. At the following meeting, Decent

riage tiniAled. This being the first carriage
built for the company, and is so dissimilar in
appearmice :mil arrangements from those now
in use, itmay be of some interest to the cu-
TIOUS to furnish a short description.

it was built by Mason, and was quite a sim
ple contrivance, being nothing more than a
large hoop-bound, oval tub, in shape not unlike
those Usually employed for bathingpurposes.
This was placed on a square platform, and
mounted 011 four whccls about the diameter
of those ordinarily attached to our common

The hose was drawn into the tub by band. over
a roller, and carefully coiled so as to occupy as
little apace as possible.
TEE FIRE DEPAR,TifTtNT TN 1805,
Some idea of the limited character of the
lire apparatus of the city at this period may
be formed from the fact that in an application
for assistance, it. is stated "that there is no
other institution of a similar character south
of Chestnut street,'
LOCATION OF THE Her& nc 1806.
On January ISO, lffle, a report was received
from the committee appointed for the purpose,
stating that City Councils had granted per.

Omnes adto lrgsgerator ab objecta”—every act
is specified by the object—was adopted.
December 1,1608. At the meeting this even•
ing the committee reported that in addition
to the sum of one hundred dollars already re
ceived by each of the nine companies com
posing the present number of the city, they
have further collected from the remaining in
surance companies a sum which, when divided,
would amount to sixty-two dollars for each
company; and it was intimated by the gene
rous donors that we should be frugal, as they
considered the present donation sufficient for
our purposes for two years to come.
INVENTORY OF PRE COMPANY'S EPPEOTS
August 2, 1810, the following inventory of the
effects or the company
. was reported at this
meeting, viz: One carriage, thirteen sections,

not more than thirty.
NSW HOSE CARELI43II
June 6,1816, the carriage committee reported
that the now carriage had been completed
and was now in the hose house, and present
a bill for the same, amounting to $317.47. CO_
ders for winding the hose had been intro

great improvement on the old mode of draw
ing and coiling by hand.
OFFICERS AND AMERICUS IN 1816
At the sembannual Meeting in August, Me,
Robert Gordon was elected President, and
was succeeded in office by William—Peltz in

tion. They also state that, in former - years,
companies carried on their carriages only six
h.undred feet of hose g but finding their efforts
too limited in later years, this quantity has
been greatly increased, so that it is now com
mon to carry ten, twelve . , and thirteen hundred
feet. DD.:tubers are admitted between the ages
of eighteen and forty. The present number is
forty-seven over twenty-one years, and six
minors. The apparatus consist of one thou

In the year 1816 the company was notified by
the city authorities to vacate the premises at
the north end of the market house, Second and
Pine streets, which had been so long occupied
for the use of the apparatus. Measures were
accordingly taken to comply with the notice,
and a committee appointed to obtain a suita

A NEW CARRIAGE.
OM ober 7.1852, the committee on building tbe
new carriage submitted their report,by which
it appears the actual cost of the saute had
amounted to the sum of $2.,199.53, and closed
the report by stating " that they cheerfully
hand over to the keeping of the company that
which has been pronounced the most beauti
ful carriage in the world." This carriage took
the first premium at the Franklin Institute
Exhibition.
FIRS.
October 17,1852, a Meetinwas held to con
sider the proper course tote pursued in con
sequence of the damage sustained by the fire
which occurred on the morning of the 15th
inst. by which the cupola and upper rooms of
ourhall, together with the library, paint
ings, and works of art were destroyed, sup
posed to have been the work of an incendiary.
Resolutions were adopted Offering a reward
of $lOO for information which would lead to
the conviction of the author of the diabolical
deed, and directing the trustees to confer with
the Fire Association in reference to the in
surance on the building, that immediate mea
sures may be taken to'repair the damage.
October 20, the trustees informed the com
pany that the Association had offered $745 to
indemnify the loss sustained by the fire, which
sum it was agreed to accept, and apply the
same exclusively to the purpose of repairing
the building.
Tllit GRAND CARRIAGE AGAIN.
February 2, 1814, the committee to deposit
the new carriage in the World's Fair, New
York, for exhibition, reported they had at
tended to this duty, and received from the
judgesi. selected for the purpose a certificate
of honorable mention. The new carriage
having been found entirely too costly for or
dinary use, the subject of selling it had been
agitated for some time, when it was finally de
termined that Sale ShOtild be made, as also the
crab, and their places supplied with those
better adapted to our purposes. Accordingly,
at the meeting October 2-ith, the committee
authorized for this purpose reported having
effected,a sale of the same for the sum of one
thousand three hundred and six dollars, and
the crab for one hundred andlifty dollars.
In 1956 the company agreed to accept the
supplement to the lire ordinance, and applied
for admission to membership.
In September, 1955, the first election was
held, under the new regulations, for Chief and
Assistant Engineers of the fire department.

THE PRESS.-Pmf,ADELPHItit, FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1865:
A Well-Contested Game of Itagodholl—
The Ath letlee the Victors over the
Camdens.
We believe no one doubts the immense popu
larity of what is now Our great national'game,
base-ball. If there are any who do so, they
should have visited the grounds of the Cam
dem Club yesterday afternoon. Upwards of
ten thousand persons, ladies, gentlemen, end
children, were assembled there, and a more
respectable and orderly congregation we have
never seen. There was less criticism above an
undertone yesterday, yet the enthusiasm of
the spectators was none the less demonstra
tive when a good "bit" or "catch" was made.
The grounds of the Camden Club are situ
ated in the vicinity of Diamond Cottage, They
are larger than those of the Athletics, in this
city, although not so level. The game was
played in pursuance Of an arrangement made
between the two clubs some two weeks since,
and not because, as was erroneously stated, of
a challenge tendered by the Athletics to the
Camden, at the conclusion of the game be
tween the latter club and the Actives of New
York.
The game yesterday was far better contested
than that between the Camdens And the Ae
tives, and every one seemed pleased with it.
The fielding of the Camdens was superb, and
on the whole was better than that of their op.
penentS. FiSler (Al b.) did some catching
which has not been excelled—probably not
equalled—in all the numerous matches played
this season. Mulliner (1. f.), in same club, also
made some fine catches, which brought doWn
the "field." The playing of Berkenstock was
very tine, indeed, and fully sustained the rep*.
tation of that gentleman. He divided the
honors with Mcßride in scoring the largest
numbers on his side. Mcßride came fully up
to the mark, and distinctly showed what he
could do. His swift, even balls were puzzling
to the Camdens ; and it was observed that so
long as he retained his place they had a.slim
chance of proving themselves the victors.
They, however, made great efforts to be so
lucky, and not by any means the least to de
sire this result was their pitcher, Mr. Miller.
To use a rather common expression, "He was
as sharp as a steel-trap;" and his efforts to put
his opponents out at the bases were, in many
instances, successful.
At a little after three o'clock the game com
menced, with the Athletics at the bat. It was
observed that Reach, (the second base, and
probably the best "batter " in the club,) was
absent, and his place had to be supplied by E.
A. Gaskill. They scored three before they
were put out. The Camdens did not succeed
as well, they being soon put out before they
had scored any. This bad luck also followed
them in the second and third innings. The
fourth innings added four to the score of the
Athletics, and gave the Camdens their first
two. This latter result raised the spirits of
our New Jersey friends, and their playing was
much better until the close of the game. The
following wag the score:

THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCLETY OP PiltLA.-
DRUPIIIA..--MaDy of our readers have, no doubt,
received a copy of a circular issued by this
society, calling for pecuniary assistance, in
raising a fund for its support. The pursuits
of a student of Entomology, in collecting,
classifying, and discovering the habits of in
sects, may not he appreciated by those who
aim at wealth and luxury, and yet they may
be of great usefulness. No section of our
country is exempt from the depredations of
insects, which often consume our harvest
-
- fields, destroy the fruits of our orchards, and
commit havoc with our vegetable gardens ;
and the naturalist, who employs himself In - the
study of the means to overcome these an
noyances, renders a real service to the public.
The " Entomological Society," organized in
1859, and incorporated in 1865, is the only one
in this country devoted entirely to the study
of insects. it is located at No. 815 South Thir
teenth street, and for six years past has been
diligently engaged in collecting specimens,
forming a library, and publishing useful,
original papers. In that shoji space Of time
it as accumulated, a library of 1,500 volumes
on Entomology, a cabinet or 00,000 specitaatie
of insects, and has published four volumes oft
its "Proceedings," containing over 2,000 pages
and 24 plates.
The Society is sustained only by individual
contribution, and the measure of its useful-
DM is limited to those means, which haVe
been greatly reduced by the death of one of its
most liberal contributors—Dr. T. B. Wilson,
late President of the Academy of Natural
Sciences. While the wealth of the country is
great, and is liberally distributed through
other channels, comparatively little aid has
been given in this direcpon. A fund of 2t0,000
would place the Society on a eeeure founda
tion, and make it a most efficient organisation.
We, therefore, call the attention of the readers
of The Press to the useful labors of this Society,
and urge those who have the means of doing
liberal things, to contribute generously to so
valuable an Institut/9P,
A WELL-DESERVED COMPLIMENT.—Dr.
Edward Wallace, Naval Officer of this port,
was yesterday the recipient of a testimonial
which he well deserves. The gentlemen con

witted an assault and battery on. Alfred M.
Peysont, and - upon a second bill with an as
sault and battery on Anna Hadley. Mr. Pey
sont testified that on the evening of the 4th
of July last, he was passing along Sixth
street, near ftruce street, in company with
Miss Anna Hadley, when he was, without
warning and without provocation, assaulted
by the defendant, who struck him a violent
blow between the eyes and another behind
the ear. He was knocked against the wall,
and would have fallen but for the support
afforded ny it. Peysont also received a cut in
the arm, whether by some sharp instrument
in the hands of the nefendant, or otherwise,
he could not say. His wife was in company
with the defendant, but Mr. Peysont denied
that he bad struck her.
. .
Miss Hadley was called to the stand, and cor
roborated the statement of Mr. Peysont in
regard to the assault and battery by Hr. Rich,
and Statetl, in addition, that in the course of
the melee, Mr, 12, inflicted a blow upon her,
Upon cross-examination, she said she was a
taileress, lived in - Caroline street, between
Fourth and Fifth, below Wharton, and worked
for her sisters ; Dirs. Peysont had once called

sion of the assault and battery she was walk
ing with Mr. P., when Mrs. P. came up behind
her, hissed in her ear "You —," choked her, ;
and tore off -her bonnet. • i
Mrs. Peysont was called for the defence, and
testified that she had known Miss Hadley al- •
most from her infancy, and knew her now as
the destroyer of her happiness ; she was mar.
ried to Mr. Peysont Thirteen years ago, and.
they lived happily together until five years
ago, when, this woman, Hadley. crossed her
Path, and won her husband away ; she had
called to see the woman about Mr. Peysont,
and to persuade her to break off the intimacy
between them, but she refused, saying she I
would go through fire and water but that she
would win him ;" since the final separation be- !
tween herself and husband, and, for the past
three years she (Mrs. Peysont) had been living

ploy, ; on the night of the assault and battery,
Dir. R. and herself were out to see the illumi
nation and seeing her husband walking with
Ankle Hadley, whom she had. before repeated.
ly forbidden the privilege, she could. not resist
the impulse to interfere; she accordingly ad
vanced and laid her hand on Miss H.'s shoul
der, when Mr. P. turned, and seeing who it
was, struck her on the breast; it was then that
Mr. Rich, to protect her, assaulted and struck
Mr. Peysont, using only his "two fists" and no
other weapon.
The jury rendered a verdict of guilty as to
the assault and battery on Peysont, but not
guilty as to the assault on Anna Hadley.
In passing . sentence dge Ludlow said, he
thought the jury bad done right in convicting,
under the testimony, but it was in his power
while sustaining the law, yet not too neverely,
to punish the defendant. The facts showed
that the prosecutor had acted most shamefully
and disgracefully in having abandoned Ins
wife and family for a strange woman. Under
the circumstances, he would sentence the de
fendant to pay a fine of ono dollar and the
