t4t Vrtsft,. TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1865 1 1 1 13-V-, CITY. lesabek Of_ the ltefeeelment Saloons— The . *codeine' of Music Filled—ln tereeting Proceedings- The Academy Of Music was crowded last evening with an appreciative and intelligent audience, Comprising the beauty and fashion of our city, to witness the exercises eonse-, .quent upon the closing of the Cooper-shop Velunteer and the Union Volunteer Refresh stilent Saloons. The meeting was called to order at fifteen minutes after eight, by William M. Cooper, after which ex-GoeernOr Pollock was intro duced. He was received with applause, and s poke substantially.as ioliows ; We have mettosnight to celebrate the elOsing of two of our Philadelphia institutiona—singu larly Philadelphian and wholly American—the Vision Volunteer and the Cooper-shop Volun teer Refreshment Saloons of this city. They were rivals, it is true ; but their rivalry was „ s eenerous, for both worked only for the Ma fort of the brave men who passed through the City on their way to fields of death, or after wards to their homes. They were institutions of no ordinary fame. Begun amid the rush to arms and the thunders of war, their grand work litis closed amid the return of peace and the triumph Of the Union armies. They were actuated by noble impulses, and everything they did was characterized by a noble UnSel lishaess ; and, though distinct in organiza tion, they had but one object. They were organized. in May, 1851, almost simulta neously, and while all honor is due to the gentlemen that controlled it, the credit of its conception—the grand inspiration of the work—belongs to man's superior—wo man. [Applause.] The first regiment that went through found no refreshment saloon; but, while the men were standing in line, foot sore, weary, and home-sick, the ladies of the neighborhood brought them refreshments from their own tables. About that time many husbend found his breakfast table or tea table almost stripped of its dainties for the soldiers. [Applause.] The women loved their husbands, but they loved the soldiers, who represented the country and all that was dear to them, far more. What was home without a country and a flag—the symbol of power—to peoteet them in the enjoyment of all the rights of humankind, and all that they eailld value On earth 1 [Great applause.] As an ihstance of the great Work performed by the joint labors of these organizations, let me say that not less than one million two hundred thousand eubstantial meals have been fernielied by them to soldiers going and returning, or, in otl:e s words, they have fed a population twice as large as the city of counting . every man, woman, and Child. [Applause.) The contibutions in money during the four years of operation amount to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and the value of goods and provisions contributed would be seventv-eve thousand dollars. In abort, the 'Value 01 the time and labor gratui tously devoted to the good work, coupled with the contributions before mentioned, will scarcely fall short of one million of dollars. True ; it is a small sum, but considering the political and national aspect of the question, the grandeur of the work is plainly visible. New York, with all her boasted superiority, -did -not contain such an inetitutien. A New York regiment once came in ; and, after the men bad partaken of a bountiful meal, their -colonel made them a speech, contrasting their reception here with the one they received in New York, and, although the men came from teat city, they gave three rousing cheers for Philadelphia and three groans for New York. Our city is noted for her peace-loving Friends. These men, true to their grand prin ciples, would give nothing to support the war or the soldiers. One wished to subscribe, but his principles forbade; so he bought a - picture -of one of the Saloons, and paid fifty dollars for it. Another Friend said "" these men in blue are not soldiers; they are the National Polices they have a disturbance in the country, and the police are suppressing it," and he made a liberal donation in provisions. [Laughter and applause]. The speaker paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of Miss Anna Ros s , who had been one of the foremost in perceiving and ministering to the needs of the soldier. It was not per mitted her to see the dawn of peace on the earth ; but she has her reward. .enaul the deepest stillness, the speaker ad verted to the great National calamity. Where is the noble form of him whose name was upon every lip. and whose features were in every hearth The man of peace, simply,. purely great ; the representative of humanity and freedom throughout the world, is not with us to hear the shouts of victory and join in the pavans of peace. He sleeps ; but his tomb will be g shrine to the American patriot. He was a martyr to his country's cause. In the hour of his countries danger, in the midst of a start ling and tremendous war, he dared before the world and before high Heaven to proclaim the -eternal truth that all mankind are free and equal. [Applause.] With one immortal dash of the pen, he proclaimed liberty to four mil lions of people, and asserted the destiny of humanity. e bies gone to his reward: The speaker retired amid a storm of ap plause. LETTERS PROM PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND OTHERS. Mr. W. H. Ruddiman then read the following letter from - President Johnson : EXECUTIVE MLR stow . , WASHINeroN, D. C., Aug. 22, 1865. •Cbrreeponding Secretory Toiitt Cvommillee Mtn leer Refreshment Saloons, Philadelphia: SIR: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the invitation you extend on behalf of the Joint Committee of the Volunteer Re freshteent Saloons of your city, to attend their Closing ceremonies on the 28th inst. I desire to thank the committee for the compliment thus tendered me, and to express my sincere regret that circumstances prevent my com pliance with their invitation. I avail myself of this occasion to assure them of my high ep preciation of the great and good work in which they have been engaged tinting the past four years, by Which they have gamed the grati tude both of the brave soldiers to wiloSe wants they have so efficiently ministered, and of their friends throughout the Union. I am, very respectfully, your olet servant, ANDREW JoaxsoN. And the following from Gov. Curtin : Baru LEBER, Anglia 28th, 1885. Te So-retary Union Refreshment Saloon,Aeademy of Music: sin: I regret that I cannot be with you this evening. I have long desired an opportunity to express to the members of the patriotic associations assembled to-night, my apprecia tion of their untiring Christian benevolence the estimation in which they and their good works are held by the great body of the peo ple ; and to be honored by participating in the coming ceremonies of the volunteer associa tions which are to be forever identical with the honor of your city and our State. A. G. CURTIN. Letter's of similar import were read from Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State ;Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of Navy; Hon, W. Dennison, Postmaster General; Hon. J, liar lan, Secretary of the Interior; Hon. L. F. S. Roster, Acting Vice President of the United States ; Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts; Jas. Y. Smith, Governor of Rhode Island; Gov. Parker, of New Jersey; Andrew Shuley, Ad jutant General of Massachusetts; and G. H. "Stuart, Esq. SPEECH OF HON. HENRY D. MOORE. lion. Henry D. Moore was then introduced. lie said: We are here to-night to rejoice over the closing labors of one of the most useful organizations of our city—one whose reputa tion is not limited by the confines of our city. but which spreads through the length and breadth of the land. In dispensing the benefits of these institutions, how true has it been shown that it is more blessed to give than to receive. He questioned whether there was a lady or gentleman present, who had loaned their services to these institutions, who would exchange the joy they feet at having done so much, for all of earthly wealth that could be brought them. They have been engaged in a great national work— a work in which 'soldiers from every part of the country have been benefited, and the prayers and blessings of these soldiers will be showered upon these benefactors for all time. If there ever was a period in the his tory of our country when we should feel it a proud honor to be an American citizen, that time is now. However much that title might have been respectedbefore ' hereafter it will command a higher regard and respect from every nation of the civilized world. Our in stitutions have been looked upon as an experi ment. They have been proven to be a reality. What nation could have gone through the trial through which we have gone and have come out as unscathed as we have done. What Are the teachings of the war? They made the people determine to stand by their govern• m ent np matter what other nations might say afield them. We not only carried on this gigantic war - with our own resources, but actually fed the nations of Europe which were laughing at our imbecility. At the time nations of Europe were jeering at iss we were sending out from our ports ves sels, with the stars and stripes at their mast head, carrying bread to the famishing millions of the the nation who were smiling at our weakness. To whom are we indebted for the glorious results that have attended the war 1 If we fail to ask this question and answer it _properly, the blessing of God will never follow us as a people or as a nation. If we forget the gallant heroes of the cause of liberty, then will God forget us. Let no one say that, because he has contributed even thou sands of dollars towards the Cause, that his duty is performed. Let him look at the maimed heroes around him—let him ask him self the consequences which would have at tended a defeat at Gettysbrirg. It were better that we should leave our children a Republic and penniless than to have left then" millions and a broken and dismembered Confederacy. lie appealed to the ladies, and to all present, in behalf of the fair for the Soldiers' Home, and expected in the fall to see contributions at the fair not only from our citizens, but from every State in the East. Let us demon strate to -the world that we are great in our benevolence and our charity to our soldiers and the blessings of God will follow us and our children forever. The band then played "Rally Round the Flag." Two American flags were produced -and waved on the platform. The whole audi -ence rose to their feet, Waved hats, handiter •ehiciii, &c., and at the conetusion of the a i r :some one in the audience cried, Three cheers for Old Glory." The cheers were given with a will by ladies and gentlemen, handkerchiefs were waved, and the greatest enthusiasm pre vailed for some minutes. "Rally Round the Flag" was followed by "Hail Columbia," "Yankee Doodle." The cheers of the audience silliest silenced the music, and it was some minutes after the band had ceased playing, before .quiet enough existed for the Chairman to introduce Hon - James M. Scovel, of New Jersey. SPERCH OP HON. J. M. SCOVEL. • On such a Bcovel S n am occasion as this, the Republic might, with propriety, send gratulation to the city of Philadelphia. I dare not compliment the city at The expense of the State, or, .1 would say, with Dr. Correa, that Pennsylvania is a sphynx—of which Philadelphia represents beauty, and the rest of the State—the beast! tApplausel sew York mayve 28,000 majority to perpe tuate despotism but this beautiful city, with its mighty charity—the Sanitary Fair—which made last summer so memorable—di:mime the war, by the voluntary contributions of her people, has given nearly a million meals to the soldiers in the armies of the Union. The per Med . Republics of the East fade before the splendor of the regenerated Repub lic of the West. The new nation, in the glory of the present, cannot forget the name of a greater than Pericles—the MAN „ D i v i ne ly patient right and wrong to bear; Great In Me goodness , tamale in sth state; Firm in his purpose, yet not esssionetal , And tome the character of Abraham Lincoln seems to stand out upon the canvas of history, like the mournttd beauty of the Parthenon upon the.allustriens landscape of Athens, till the strength of the statesman's Character is hidden - Mit/ hatmo_ny and Zit grandeur IS lost in the ;pathos which. attends ita.ecautv., butieStOrdaYWVW.tiOWO.c. i .WAJA . • our streets with shouts of vieiory ; and today he sleeps in the village he loved so well.

Alas l that history should repeat itself in such terrible lessons. England had its Charles the First ; the United Stales its James the First, the Sage of Wheatland. [Applause.] The one lost has head, while the Other gained —the contempt of the world. America must now repeat the groat and common error of looking at the past through centuries of dis tance. Moral chronology teaches us that his tory is essentially successive. Cromwell's brigade of Ironsides, made in vincible by the impulse of a sentiment (trust ing in God, while they kept their powder dry,) crushed the last effort in England to enslave the race in body and mind, in the bloody fight of Marston Moor, on the 2d day of July, WI. Two hundred yearilater, in the same month, Gen. 'Meade, at Gettysburg, "Stood likea rock.on which the fiery spray neat bet its life, then slowly ebbed away," till the shattered remnant of the rebel hosts sought refuge in a retreat from which there were never any returning steps. Yes ! there have been returning steps for that leading spirit of a lying civilization, and those steps have led to the casemates of Fortress Monroe (in woman's apparel,) the latest example of the truth of ShakspeareN aphorism that "Con science doth make cowards of us all." To what further elevation he shall ascend, let the peo ple, and let ,Tustice, not blind, but slumbering, say.. [Applause. He will be like ono of Page ntimYs compositions—executed on a single string. But, the war of bayonets having ended, the war of ideas advances. There are solemn questions, involving the salvation of the eOun try, which we cannot escape, political conven tions to the contrary notwithstanding. If the African can successfully end a rebel lion with the bullet, I think he can, with fatal effect, handle a ballot t I advocated carrying the war lute Africa with Africans. [Applause.] Two hundred thousand of these men were 'clothed by our Government with rights (mus kets), winch the rebellious white man sudden kV felt bound to respect. Ile fought at Port Ittnison and Vicksburg. He died at Wagner with the gallant Shaw, and was buried with him. [Applause.] When that brave officer of the 11th Massa chusetts fell with his feet to the foe, and his back to the field; when the standard fell, and the standard-bearer was killed—a black ser geant dragged himself forward, wounded and bleeding, and crawled back with that flag, and when be was borne to the hospital modestly said, "I saved the flag," the white soldiers greeted him with 4 ‘ Three cheers for the Mari who saved our flag Vi I have already spoken longer than I intend ed. Let us remember that liberty to exercise the faculties is the first condition of indivi dual life • the liberty of each limited only by the like 'liberty of all, must 'be the first con dition of social life. Ae all men are equal before the Divine law, we will strive to make them equal Def Ore tlleimMaulaw. [Applause. To yoll ntleinen Of the Cooper and Union Refreshment Saloons, who have dressed the wounds and tenderly cared for so many thousands of the nation's dead and dying sons, you need no re Wand other than an approving conscience. If you did, you have the gratitude and praise of this vast assembly and the thanks of every patriot heart. Right well have you done your work, bringing to thebed side of the sick that tenderness which creates the "light that Was never yet on sea or land." Ton will bear with you, among the sweetest and latest recollections of a life well spent, the hearty cheers which greeted you and your hospitable city from the brave boys who have since fallen by the side of the brave Reynolds and the manly and gentle McPherson, or gal lant Sedgwick, or our glorious Philip Kearney. [Great applause.] Our good knights are dust, Their swords are ra.4. Their souls are with the saints, I trust." By the victories of peace, which are no less glorious than those of war, you have taught us, among the other lessons of the war, that the • • Time was when 14,S .4.110111 d gain UM Spurs of gold From royal hands, who wooed the knightly state The knell of old formalities IS tolled, And the world's knights are now self-consecrate." SPEECH OF REV. KINGSTON GODDARD, D. D. Rev. Kingston Goddard, D. D., was next in troduced. He said the record of these chari ties shall endure to all eternity. They will endure to all eternity, and we come not here to-night to mourn at their expiration, but to rejoice that the rebellion has been crushed and the victory won, and the causes which called them into existence have ceased. He bad thought in reference to a charity pro posed to raise—what should be done with. the eagle that now adorns the refreshment sa loon I The eagle that had been carried and placed in its position in the dark days of the republic,. when seemingly despising adver sity, it raised its head and spread its wings, welcoming the brave defenders of the country. lie concluded by saying that the eagle should be pined on the battle-field of Gettysburg,an emblem of a grateful people to their martyred sons, and a token of battles fought and victory won. The speech was received with much favor. Dr. Nebinger was next introduced. He said these two HdreSllilleat Saloons organized and carried out efficiently the first two hospitals that ever did any good to the Union soldier. The Refreshment Saloons grew out of the ne cessities.of the sick soldier. The necessity for a Soldiers' Home also arose out of the exigen cies of the war, and the Committee of the Re freshment Saloons saw this and went to work. They obtained a Chart Or—the Home was com menced. On the 22d day of December that Home was dedicated. It is an out-cropping of the Refreshment Saloons. It was not neces sary to point to the maimed soldiers, unable, by reason of their injuries, to work. They are all around us; they must be cared for; they must have a retreat in which they can receive all the care and comforts of home. The Home thus far has worked and is working to the satisfaction of all giving of their bounties or receiving its benefits. The Home is full. Shall we stop and say that our work is done? No, that home is only an incentive to the grander idea of erecting a large and commodl- Onsbomeforthe accommodation of sol diers and sailors. He would not ask them whether they would come forward and assist in the move ment: He would answer for them—yes. He knew that was their answer. He would only ask them one favor, and that was that they should assist this movement, and withhold their assistance from any other movement. There is another home afoot ;_but let usget through one at a time, and when we get this first one through then we will go forward and do all in our power to assist another. The movement contemplates holding a fair in this building in October next. That fair will re prebent not only this State, but every loyal State in the Union. The movement is a grand one. It is a ladies , movement, and we ask you to give to it your firmest, energetic, and best pecuniary support. The band then . played " Auld Lang Syne,” and the audience slowly separated. ARRIVAL OF THE 104TH REGIMENT.— The 104th Regiment, numbering 748 of cers and men, arrived in Philadelphia at an early hour yesterday morning, and steadily they tramped with iota bannershying and drPhis beatixig: from - the Baltimore Railroad Depot to the Cooper Shop and 'Union Volunteer Refresh ment Saloons, where they shared the hospi talities of these celebrated establishments. The regiment then proceeded to Camp Cad walader. This organization opened the battle at Fair Oaks, (General Casey's Divisiond after which it shared the defeats Or the army under McClellan. The regiment was composed of as brave a set of men as ever shouldered a mus ket. After going through the Peninsula cam paign, the regiment - proceeded to Charleston, South Carolina, and took a prominent part in the desperate and bloody assault on Fort Wag ner. It was formerly commanded by Colo nel W. W. H. Davis, who returned with that portion of the regiment that did not re-enlist. He was severely wounded. Those that arrived Testerday, are mostly re-enlisted veterans. hey looked hardy, and decidedly sunburnt, and appeared to be in the most excellent, spirits. The regiment was organized in DoylestOWnucks County, in September, 1861, by Colonel Davis, under orders issued by the W D ar Department. Attached to it was Du cell's celebrated Battery. The following is a summary of the battles this regiment was en gaged in: Siege of YorktOWnOVilliamsburg, Fair Oaks. It may be said that the regiment fought against fearful odds, and bravely, too, at Pair Oaks; there being ten rebels to one Union' soldier. The result was that the advance of Casey's division was driven back, the cause of which could not be aceounted for by General McClellan,in his official de spatch relating to the disaster. General McClellan, however, in the Ileßt despatch cor rected a portion of the first one, and explained that he was led into error, as he was not on the battle-field.at the time of the engagement. After McClellan's seven days' retreat, the regiment proceeded to Gloucester Point, Va., where it remained until December, 1861 it then joined an expedition to the South, and arrived at Morehead City, N. C., during the first week in January, 1863. After remaining in North Carolina a month, it proceeded to Port Royal, S. C., and participated in ,Dupont's and Hunter's attack on Charleston, April 8, 1863. Upon the failure of the attack, it was ordered to Beaufort, S. C., where it remained until .July when Gilmore landed on Folly Island, ant again attacked the defences of Charleston. The 104th served in General A. H. Terry's division during these operations, and took an active part in the successful cap ture of Fort Wagner, after a fearful struggle of two months. The regiment remained at Morris Island un til the 10th Corps came north to Virginia, when it was ordered to Hilton Head. The re giment was in the attack on Charleston, made by General John E. Foster, in July, 1804, by way of John's Island, and afterwards was or dered to Florida, where it served until Au gust; it was then ordered to Washin_gton, and was placed in the 23d Array Corps, 111 the fol lowing month, September, the regiment was reorganized, and the veterans were ordered immediately to the Shenandoah Valley, wher e they participated inSheridan's campaign against Early. In December the regiment was sent to the Army of the James, and occupied the Bermuda front. In the grand advances on the 2d and 3d of April the regiment bore its part, and finally occupied Petersburg, with other regiments of Ferrero's Division.

CREDIT TO A PHILADELPHIA REGIMENT. —The friends of the Eighth Union League regi mentLthe 214th Pennsylvania Volunteers, Col. D. B. McKibben, will be pleased to read the following extract, from the report of Brigadier General Neill, who has been recently on a tour Of inspection through Major General Han cock's command. General Hancock has fre quently spoken in terms of the highest praise of thiq regiment * * * This regiment is decidedly the most advanced in instruction and drill of any regi ment of infantry in tile Army of the Shenan doah. . - - The officers in.this regiment were intelligent gentlemen, and well instructed in their duties, nearly all of whom having served before. The review was very creditable, and the men marched well. The Colonel was tem porarily alisent, and the command devolved upon Lieutenant Colonel Harrison, who is a second lieutenant of the 2n United States Cavalry. The whole appointments and tn• tenor economy of this regiment were in marked superiority to any . other I have seen. The regiment was armed with Springfield muskets, calibre fifty-eight, which were in ex cellent order. The clothing and equipments were in good order and properly worn. The carriage of the officers and men was good. In this regiment the cooking is done by the company, and there was no complaint. The books and papers of the regimental and com pany officers were well kept, and brought up to date. 1 have never seen better penmanship than that of the regimental books and papers. The police of the camp was very excellent. The ground in front of the Colonel's tent was beautifully ornamented with > plots of grass arranged in letters reading, "Eighth Union League in front of each collipany officer's tent very exquisite devices were arranged on the grounae, with the letter of the company in. green. Many of the companies had these little pas tures tilled in with - white shells, reading_pa triotic devices. Altogether this showed a great deal of taste in ornamental gardening. The " esprit du corps' , of this regiment is very good., and I would like to see it perma nently attached to the army. It would throw into the shade many older organizations.. " Tnostaz I-1.. Brigadier General United States Volimteers. GRAND GERMAN FESTIVAL:—The grand German pie -»k and summer evening festival will take place to-day, in honor of the visit of the "Arbon , ' and " Colonia u singing societies, of New York. These associations arrived last evening, and were received at the depot by a large delegation of the societies of Philadel phia. They are the guests of the Young Mien nerelior. At one &clock to-day the distin s-uished visitors and Mort will start from Fourth and Vine streets, in carriageS and luti ranches. The procession will proceed down Fourth street to Walnut, thence westward to Nineteenth, thence northward to Green, thence to Fairmount and Park and Gen. Grant's log-cabin. The party will ride through the Park, inhale the .pure gushing breezes that waft health and comfort over the waters of the romantic Schuvlkill, and then visit that model edifice, the Girard - College; after which they will proceed to the place of celebration. The afternoon will be spent in a variety of harmoniouspastimes ; and after nightfall there will be a grand festival, splendid fireworks, and stereopticon displays. The arrangements are very complete, A. ;turner of the most prominent citizens of Philadelphia have been Invited to be present upon this occasion. Phi ladelphia German hospitality will be extend ed in every way, and we feel assured that the visitors from the village of Gotham will be exceedingly well entertained. BASE-BALL PLAYEES.—We take this 6C casion to say, that our numerous special cor respondents of base-ball matches should fur nish their reports on the evening of the day the games are played; later than this pre cludes publication, The Press is desirous of lending its influence in fa.voi , of the game, in order, if possible, to direct more general at tention to it. The exercises of the game are such as to bring the entire muscular fabric of humanity into play, and therefore hardens the system and promotes health. It should there fore be encouraged. In the course of another year there -trill be agrand tournament in Phi ladelphia of the best base-ball players in the United States. Clubs from distant parts of our great country will take part in it. The Philadelphia clubs, therefore, should practice well with " slow" as well as "fast" balls, and aim at perfection in striking the ball every time the pitcher bowls it: There are some "batters"who very seldom permit, a ball to pass them, and they generally make "home runs." They have the " knack," to a consider able extent, of batting a low ball, - which almost defies a" fly-catch." At all events, let The Press correspondents. send their reports in as NM as possible after the game is played. THE PENN WIDOWg' A.SYLITE.—The Penn :Widows! Asyjum has been undergoing necessary repairs, in order to contribute to the better accommodation and comfort of the inmates, of whom there are forty. These re pain WPC more than exhausted the funds of the institution, and therefore The Frees is ne quested to make an appeal to the public for materialaid. It is unnecessary to speak of the vain of so estimable an institntion,as it is already known to be one of the best charities proverbially, of the city of brotherly love. Donations for the asylum may be sent to Mrs. staekhouse, corner of reach and , Norris streets. The widowed inmates are aged, and, it may be needless to say, they are worthy obi jests of financlar favor. Ts HosmAL.— Peter Callen, fifty-eight years of age, bad his right leg broken bye fall. yesterday morning, in the southern part of the city. Daniel O'Donnell, residing at No. MO South Front street, fell to the bot - tom of the hold of a coal vessel at the wharf, and dislocated both his wrists, besides receiving several severe bruises. • Joseph Mitrphy, forty years old, had his left leg broken, yesterday afternoon, by a barrel falling on it, at the Navy Yard.

The officers of the Dictator speak in unqualified terms of the excellence of her performances. A TALL PRESENT.—The members of the Mechanic Steam Fire-engine Company have been presented with the elegant Rag-stair formerly used at the rrovost Camp, at 'iglu& teenth and Master streets.

Gilling, late assistant pastor of St. Patrick's (R. C.) Church. will take place this morning at said Church. He died on Sunday last, at St. Joseph's IlOspital, in the twenty.sixth year of his age.

THE PANTOGRAPHIc WYSTEM.—A num ber of influential gentlemen of Camden have Organized a new educational institution for the purpose of teaching by the pantOgraphie system, or the imparting instruction. by means of pictorial representations. The branches taught in this way include Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. THE SEASON CLOSING.--The 2 P. M. train to Atlantic city made its last trip yes terday. This train, which made the trip is two hours, was veripopular during the sum mer, and the taking it off indicates that the season is about closed. The United States, the Surf House, and others, have closed, and At lantic City begins to wear a deserted aspect. ptnr..—The fire last , night, about half past ten o'clock, which made such a bright light in the southeastern section of the city, destroyed the barn of Mr. Wagner, on Seventh street, three squares' below Dickerson. The barn, with its contents, was totally destroyed. It contained a large quantity of hay and grain. The loss is not definitely ascertained.
