THE DEVELOPMENT el' the mineral
-wealth of our new Territories has become a
settled policy, in which the Government
unites with the people. The former has
given invaluable aid in the numerous our
,
- rue and explorations made of our trans-
Mississippi territory, at its expense; in the
encouragement it has extended to overland
stage lines ; in its large appropriations of
land and money for the construction of
railways to the Pacific ; and in the liberality
it has shown to the miners in permitting
them to occupy its mineral lands without
charge. One of the last acts of ABRAHAM
LlNcorti was to Send a message by Speaker
COLFAX to the people of the new Territo
ries that he was determined to do every
thing in his power to promote their inte
rests; and similar sentiments are doubtless
.entertained by his successor. Large armies
are also actively engaged in holding the In
dians in check, and in priiteethig frontier
settlements and lines of travel. Meanwhile
the people bare been flocking by tens of
thousands to our immense auriferous and
argentiferous regions, and capitalists are
supplying the machinery necessary to de
velop their wonderful resources. The same
systematic and scientific skill that is ills:
played in the Atlantic States in mining coal
or manufacturing iron, is now being diree
ted to mining operations in the Rocky
mountains. Cities have sprung up like
magic, in the wilderness. Nevada boasts
already of Vir,ginia City and Austin as two
of the most flourishing towns in our coun
try. Colorado has not only Denver, but
several other prosperous cities. And even
Idaho boasts of a town of nearly ten thou
sand inhabitants. The inland transparta
tion nceessau to supply the wants of all
these vigorous young• communities, of itself
furnishes employment to an immense num
ber of energetic men, and the profits de
rived from it is a perpetual incentive to the
projectors of Pacific railway enterprises to
hasten their completion. The product of
gold and silver for the present year in the
United States will probably reach at least
$100,000,000, and this annual production
will soon be doubled, so that our country
will infinitely exceed all others in its yield
of the precious metals.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT GRAND JURY: 1111 S
body, which held its first sitting OR August al,
concluded its labors yesterday, and was form
ally discharged by Judge Cadwalader. In a
presentment to his Honor, the Grand Jury
stated that they had found forty-one true bills
of indictment out of forty-Three placed before
them by United States District Attorney Gil
pin ; that this large number of indictments
indicated a great increase of crime; that the
offences charged in these bills were extensive
frauds, by the forgery of recruiting muster
lists for the army, theft and fraud in the navy-
Yard, and numerous instances of counterfeit
ing and parsing forged United States Treasury
notes and postal currency. The Grand Jury
expressed their satisfaction with the strong
efforts made by the United States legal au
thorities to repress and punish these flagrant
crimes, and particularly complimented the
district attorney (Hon. Charles Gilpin) for Op
zeal and ability - which he had manifested
therein. The Grand Jury reported, as the re
sult of their visit to the Eastern Penitentiary,
wherein convicted 'United States prisoners are
eortfintti, their strong approbation of the
almost paternal nfirninistration, at once firm
:and kind, of that well-regulated prison.
Commtualeation.
To the Editor of The ,Th•ess
8111 In the report Of the "Scottish (lames,"
-yesterday, which appears in this morning's is
sue of your valuable paper, it is stated that
" the game of quoits, though well understood
in this country, is of Scotch &c.
The game of the " discus,” which is almost
identical with quoits," and is certainly the
origin of the latter game, is of great antiquity
—before geographers had an idea of the exist
ence of Scotland.
it was One of the principal games of the an
cients, and is mentioned by Horner in the Iliad
and Odyssey, by rindar, by Horace, and other
authors of antiquity.
It differed from the modern game of quoits
more in the material of which the discus was
made then in any other point a disc of stone
being used, instead of the iron ring with which
the game is at present played.
A copy of an antique statue of Myron, repre
senting an athlete hurling the discus, is said
o be in the British Ilinseum.

Publications Received.
From IV. B. Zieber, Toy.; South Third street,
ve hare the Westminster Review for July and
fitcu-kwoedgs Alitgazine for AuguA, both reprint
ed at New York. The article in the Westmin
ster, by Mr. Mill, is a lengthy exposition of the
Later Speculations of Auguste Comte. We
confess that the world would have gone
on much as usual if Comte had not speculated
or Mill explained ; still the article is as clear
as the subject permitted. A long paper on
Herbert Speuces' Principlef Biology is also
in the clouds. Better, by far, and. full of fact,
truth, and human_ is "The Anti
61avery Revolution in America." The notice
of Napoleon's Cesar is severe, and that of the
late Theodore Winthrop eminently apprecia
tive.
In giodrevid there are foie• Serial artieleS:
- Mrs. Oliphant's "Miss Margorihanks,” the
:Anonymous satirical tale called "Piccadilly,"
thtt Irish story of ".Sir Brook Fossbrooke,"
and Cornelius Oliowt . Ps amusing gossip about
men, Ivornen, and everything else. We said,
from the first—what is now confessed—that
-Charles Lever wrote the 0 , 1)0,.-d papers, and
now finds that he owns the sort impeachment,
by claiming . the authorship of "The Pope
Leads a Happy Life," and by speaking of Frank
Webber, an amusing character in one of the
early Lorrequer novas, t 1.4 his college Chum.
We suspect, too, that the Irish novel, as well
as "Sir Toby Butler," is also one of Levees
compositions. Mr. Story, the American sculp
tor, contributes a fine poem, entitled "Cleopa
tra." The notice of J ooiah Wedgewood, the
potter, is very readable.
From Mr. T. B. Pugh, corner of Sixth and
Chestnut, we have the United Slates Service
Magazine for September. It has some good
articles, ;Filth RS "Military Education in Prus
sia," "Great Battles in History," and "Ite
taliation in War,") but the paper on the Board
of Visitors at West Point is eery carelessly
written, and the so-called poetry, as usual, is
ivaifferent.
From Mr. Pugh we also have No. I of The Cot
tage Library, containing illustrated poems by
Milton, Dryden, Collins, Gray, Cowper, Gold
smith, Campbell, Charles Wolfe, Wadsworth,
Southey, Scott, Byron, Tennyson, Browning,
Macaulay, and Jean Ingelow, 9. nice book, or
booklet, neat and cheap.
Mr. J. J. Kromer, 403 Chestnut street, has
sent us the leading British pictorial papers of
August 10th. The illustrated London News, be
sides one whole sheet extra; gives a large
colored engraving of the World's Pair in Dub
lin, and the 2//testrated 2Tews of the Mild gives
a portrait on steel of Miss Marriott, who has
succeeded Mr. Phelps in the manageulent of
isadlet o s Wells theatre, London.
From Mx. Kromer, we also have an English
magazine, The Month, for August. It is what
may be called of moderate Catholic views, de
voted more to literature, science and art, than
to polemics, though its leading contributor s
are Catholic=. Among its poets are two well
known Irishmen, D. P. McCarthy and Aubrey
de Veto. The articles on Cuneiform Inscrip
tions,
aild the 'Gonave in Mexico, are unusually
good.

SETENTEENTH AND NINETEENTH STREETS.
A BEAUTIFUL SECTION OF THE aTt
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.
PRINCIPAL PUBLIC SQUARES
Immense Foundries, Factories, Works.
MAGNIFICENT PRIVATE DWELLINGS
BY "mars."
The Seventeenth and Nineteenth Passenger
Railway extends from Carpenter Street, on the
south, to Master street, on the north, in the
western part of the city. This section of Phila
delphia is decidedly attractive, for its rows of
magnificent, palatial dwellings; its extensive
foundries and factories, giving employment to
thousands of the industrial classes. For seine
time one-horse cars were used on this road,
but business has so much increased lately that
two horses are brought into requisition for
each eat. We May observe, In this place, that
the company has within a few days introduced
new cars, handsomely furnished, clean, neat,
light, and airy. Compared with some of the
old cars, on other roads, it may be considered
a sort of luxury to ride in these new and beau
tiful conveyances. The depot of the company
is located on Nineteenth street, below Girard
avenue, from which place a ear starts every
few minutes, going north to Master street,
thence eastward to Seventh, passing in front
of the s.pneious enclosed lot used by the Gto
vernment as the
I=2
This lot contains seven or eight acres, and
is enclosed within a tall picket fence. The
northern part of the enclosure is appropriated
to ranges of tents or wooden structures, while
in the front there is ample space for drilling
purposes. In the cent-re of the foreground
there is a flagstaff, from which the Stars and
Stripes floated daily, from the "reveille" tilt
"go-to-bed, Tom," or sundown. But the pomp
find circumstance of glorious war have faded
from the picture. It may be said the camp is
no more. It can only live in history ; but it is
probable its history never vrilLbe fully written.
-
'lnashort time this piece of level territory
will be beautified with rows of handsome and
comfortable residences, and the inhabitants
therein may dream of patriotism. This camp
was a social place. It brought together men
from many States distant from each other, and
of almost every clime. The tall fellow from
the Green Mountains of Vermont had daily
chats with his Western brother; Loyal 'Vir
ginia and " My Maryland , ' had their representa
tives, shaking hands with the hard-ested yeo
luallrY a the old Granite State and Massachu
setts. Sons of the - Emerald Isle and Teutons
from their native land became Americanized
under the social influence of the war and the
camp. The music of the 'Union has charmed
them all.
Music is the same throughout the world. It
may be considered a dead language, arisen to
a harmonious immortality, and is humming
among the spheres. Understood in America,
it is understood everywhere; and as the music
of the Union is now well learned, it will be the
Same throughout the length and breadth of
the land, and a mighty nation will shout with
one accord a glorious patriotic hallelujah. The
Provost camp, like all other camps, has con
tributed its share towards so desirable an end.
The gleaming sabres and the flashing swords,
however, will be seen no more in this camp ;
nor will the reveille of the spirit-stirring drum
awaken the inhabitants in that vicinity from
the early morning dreams. It may be said
that the country from this standpoint north
ward is open, and fresh in the bright summer
foliage of nature. Here are many pleasant
landscapes to attract the attention and charm
the beholder. But the car turns down Seven
teenth street, and the stately Girard College
will attract attention, upon the roof of which
may be seen daily a number of visitors, taking
a bird's-eye view of the great, magnificent,
dazzling city of Philadelphia, with its thou
sands of steeples, and its myriads of cupolas ;
its million of citizens pursuing their daily
avocations, and giving life, it may be said to
the nation.
ST. 3rATTNEW'S currten
This building, located in Girard avenue, be
longs to the Episcopal denomination. It is
erected of gray stone, With dressed edges; and
a considerable degree of taste is exhibited in
its construction. It has a single row of tall,
arched windows, with stained glass. The
chapel—a school-house—stands adjacent, and
in its construction, comports with the princi
pal edifice. The lot to the eastward is open
and level, and thus a clear view can be had
from the 'window of the passing car.
==!
This is an Institution of modern invention.
1,5 located at the Corner of Seventeenth and
Girard avenue. The building is mostly of
pressed brick, and may be considered an im
posing pile of architecture. The grounds at
tached thereto are under fine cultivation, and
thug a most agreeable spot is at the service of
the convalescing inmates, to take leisure
strolls therein, amid fragrant air and shady
retreats.
E==!
Since the introduction of enclosed market
houses these kind of structures have been
erected in many parts of Philadelphia. That
of Green UM is located near the intersection
of Seventeenth street and Ridge avenue. .It
has three main entrances, and seems to be a
most substantial Strneture. The front of this
spacious edifice may he considered embel
lished with a series of fancy brickwork. It is
understood that the managers and occupants
of the stalls arc energetic, and, consequently,
the people of that section of Philadelphia can
hare recourse to a market rejoicing in the
luxuries and necessaries of life. Here allow
us to say that Seventeenth street seems to be
cut oil by. Ridge avenue. The car turns down
the latter thoroughfare to Francis street,
thence into Seventeenth. The coarse he now
due south, without the interruption of crooked
streets or short turns.
Soon the ear passes through .immense
ranges of foundries, locomotive works, Bush
Bill Iron Works, boiler ShOpS, erecting
shops, tender shops, depots, and complete net
works and curves, snitches, and sidelings of
railway tracks. The continual din of dusky in
dustry ; the roaring of the forges, the volumes
of smoke curling from the tops of the cupolas,
here, there, and everywhere in this particu
lar section give unmistakable signs of pros
perity. Here the " rundsillsn triumph in
their laborious avocation, and send to the
world such articles of use as contribute to the
general happiness of mankind. Machinery
made bere,..nables us to scale mountains, or
cross vales ; it connects one distant partof the
country with the other. It makes New York,
Camden, and Pittsburg simply the suburbs of
the great leading metroplis of the Union,
Philadelphia; for it brings theselplaces within
a few hours of our city. In an hour Or two
we are transported to the salinebreezes of the
Atlantic, and the pure mountain atmosphere
of the interior, by the use of such machinery
as is made in these great industrial works. Of
all mechanics, this class of men certainly
earn their living by the sweat of their brows.
This is another pretty building, located at
Seventeenth and. Summer streets. It belongs
to the Episcopal denomination. Iri style it
may be considered handsome Gothic, and an
ornament to the vicinity. In shape it is like
the letter L, the base line running along Sum
mer street. This part has been built about six
years, since which time quite a number of pri
vate improvements have been added to the
neighborhood.
I=lli
At the corner of Seventeenth and Filbert
4tkeete, is the Western Presbyterian Church,
au unpretending Btructure, drab in color, and
not very large.
CHIIILCH OF THE COVENANT
On Filbert street, above Seventeenth, is Idea
ted the Church of the Covenant, about which
there is an interesting history. The building
is erected of rough granite, with flanking tow•
ere on the front through which the stairways
run. The lecture room is in the basement, and
the aSserhbly room above. This building was
erected for the Rev. Dudley A. Tyng, one of
the most talented divines in the Episcopal
Church. lie was rector of the Church of the
Epiphany, and delivered a sermon therein on
the evil of holding human beings in bondage,
all of which is comprehended in the word
slavery. This was several years anterior to
the rebellion. A number of his congregation
interrupted his flow of burning cloquence,and
some. Of them departed from their Propriety.
The result was that the reverend gentleman
retired from the congregation. The members
probably have reason to know by this time
that the unwholesome troths then told have
been prophetically fulfilled,
The reverend gentleman having abdicated
the Church of the Epiphany, he called his fol
lowers around him at Concert Hail, and from
this movement the Church of the Covenant
Was projected, and measures adopted to have
it erected. The Rev, Mr, Tyng lived upon a
'farm. adjacent to Philadelphia, whore, amid
the rural scenes of nature, he could drink in
the inspiration of the Deity he so devoutly
worshipped, and then on each succeeding Sab
bath entertain hit hearers. But, on a sad day,
while working about a patent powerful corn
sheller On his farm, the sleeve of his morning
wrapper was Caught in themachinery; his arm
was drawn in and dreadfully mangled. Morti.
acatlon ensued, and soon after this, Dudley A.
15 . a s. was no more. The church building of
the Covenant may be considered of a monu
ment to the memory of a great and good man,
whose still, small Voice for liberty to the opl
pressed comes from the grave where repos t
hie minim, in the sleep that no waking knows
until the resume - Om morn.
PRIVATE, THEATRE
Located on the west side of Seventeenth st.,:
a short distance above Chestnut, is a smalo
building, with rather a pretty front. This
was once a church; but, a year or tWO Since, a
number of gentlemen of means purchased if
in fee simple, and had the interior fitted up for
theatrical purposes. This is considered a very
select place, and is only open to the owners
;1 PREss:-4Airtip- trrarmA. -- WRDNEgn Nnatn G 1866:
and a tow of, their. esPeeiiilj friends. The pro::
fano eyes of a rsportertave never seen the in
terior acting. Aaitds not the intention of the
ladies and gentlemen Connected with the MI
stitutiou to make the affair public, we pass it
by with simply a rail-car notice. A number of
seances Were given within' its wails, the pro
ceeds of which were pined in the treasury of
the United States Sanitary Commission.
WEST SPRIICE•STREET CETI:MOIL
Located at the southwest corner of Spruce and
Seventeenth streets, is one of the handsomest
chu reit buildings in Philadelphia. It belongs
to the Presbyterian denomination. In regard
to design, it is very ornate, and in work most
substantial. It has 41, towering spire that
points far up in the air. The front presents a
Series of brickwork embellishments that make
a very attractive and certainly pleasing ap
pearance.
efiEMICAL WORKS.
The extensive chemical works of Messrs.
Nosengyten, at Fitzwater street, will attract
more than ordinary attention on the part of
the observant passenger. There is nothing of
peculiar interest until turning of Carpenter
street, the southern boundary of the road.
Upon reaching Nineteenth street, there will
be seen to the southwest ranges of
rt;M:33IMIAL WORKS,
Some of them immense, and appropriated to
different uses in the mechanic arts—car-works,
rifle-works, woollen-mills, shoddy-mills, paper
hanging establishments. These are located in
the Twenty-sixth ward, until recently the
western part of the First ward. A few years
since the whole of this section presented `a
series of truck farms and gardens. It was
what was known as the upper part of the
"Neck," But the giant of enterprise has made
rapid strides this way, and the result is, that
the neighborhood, almost out to the line of
the Schuylkill, has become thickly populated
with an industrious, hard-worlring class of
citizens. A majority of the residents are of
foreign birth, but " Unionism" prevails among
them universally, even to as great an extent
as Democracy once did in Old Southwark."
They are a thrifty set of people ; many of them
live in their own neatly constructed, and coin
fortable houses.
SOUTHWESTERN CFI
This is a very pretty pressed-brick building,
at the corner of Twentieth and Fitzwater,
streets ; a large open lot affording a clear vievr
of its graceful proportions from the car win
dow, after turning north into Nineteenth
street. The police station-house of the First
district is erected adjacent to it. Since the 10•
cation of the church building some very line
Improvements, in the shape of comfortable
dwellings, have been introduced. The intro •
duction of the passenger-railway into thiS
part of the city has given an impetus to busi
ness. We understand that it is in contempla
tion to .build in this vicinity two hundred
dwelling-hOuSeS t suitable for tenants who have
to work for a living. These houses will, of
course, be built with some rpgard to comfort.
Gas and water-pipe have already been laid in
this part of the city; both of which will be
brought into requisition in the projected tene
ments.
OMOROD OV TME MEDIATOR
Tbis building is located at the corner of
Nineteenth and Lombard streets. It belongs
to the Protestant Episcopal denomination.
Like Most of the modern structures, it is built
of brown stone, with rough facings. On its
front it has two square flanking towers, by
means of which access is had to the audience•
chamber of the building. Stained glass is used
in the windows. The edifice is not very large,
but it certainly possesses a neat and imposing
appearance.
GENERAL MEADE'S, -RESIDENCE,
At the corner of .Nineteenth street and De
laticy place, just below Rittenhouse square, is
the residence of the heroic General Meade.
It is simply one of a row of splendid pressed
brick dwellings, an ornament to - the city.
This whole neighborhood is studded with
some of the finest buildings in the world.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars hare been
expended here for private improvements.
ST. PATRICK'S caI.TROLI
As the car turns around that large and beau
tiful public park, Rittenhouse square, the
front view of St. Patrick's Church on Twen
tieth street, above Spruce, will be observed,
opposite a local thoroughfare. This building
has a coat of stucco, of blueish cast, that pre
sents an appearance of Pennsylvania marble
at the distance from which we saw it. The
interior is said to be very beautiful. In point
of fact the Catholics, as a denomination, take
peculiar care in arranging their temples of
worship ; and that of St. Patrick will compare
for beauty and strength with any of the same
size in Philadelphia.
This is a Protestant Episcopal church
ing, located at the corner of Walnut street
and Rittenhouse square. It is one of the most
magnificent temples consecrated to religious
worship in Philadelphia. It is very large,
grand, and imposing '
and must have cost an
immense outlay of Money. The material
used in its construction is superior brown
sandstone, fashioned intoturrets, columns,and
towers. As a pile of architecture it probably
stands second to no other church building in
our city. Its immense windows, of stained
glass; its projecting cupolas; its whole de.
sign and finish, are rich in magnificence. The
squares of private buildings in this section
are the finest in the world. We understand
that some attention is about tote paid towards
improving New York in the architecture of
contemplated buildings. The projectors are
referred to this and other sections of our city
for models.
DEL DAVID JAI - Z(1PB MANSION'
At the corner of Nineteenth and Chestnut
streets, the new white marble building, de.
signed as the mansion of Dr. Jayne, is slowly
approaching completion. When finished this
Will be most unquestionably the finest edifice
in Philadelphia. The material is white Mar
ble, and the architecture faultless in every re
spect. Dr. J. is one of a few wealthy gentle
men, of whom he takes the lead in beautifying
the city of Philadelphia in the erection of
magnificent buildings. The one at Nineteenth
and Chestnut streets will compare with any
in the country. The famous building of Mr.
Peabody, on Monument square, Baltimore,
which, for private mansions, is considered the
pride of that city, dwindles almost into in
significance when compared with that of Dr.
Jayne.
LOGAN SQIIARB.
The car passes to the west of !Logan square,
an enclosure made memorable because it was
used by the 'United States Sanitary Commis
sion for the holding of their great fair in June,
184i4, for the benefit of the soldiers and sailors
of the Union army and navy. The tall pole is
the only memento remaining in the square,
which indexes the patriotic history of the
month of June of last year.
WILL'S HOSPITAL.
This celebrated and beautiful building is lo
cated on Race street, Just below Nineteenth,
and for beauty of design and the substantial
Manner of the work., will bear close criticism.
The location is e - cullent. Besides having LO
gun square on its front, it is surrounded with
a handsome, well cultivated flower garden.
ASY I.li M FOP. THE BLIND.
A short distance west of Logan square, on
Race street, will be seen the Pennsylvania In
stitution for the Instruction of the Blind, nn
extensive establishment, adorned in frontand
around it with choice specimens of florticul
ture. The dwellings in thisseetion, especially
west of Logan square,are elegant in finishteom
modious and convenient in proportion. Buil
ders of new cities can here find many models
of magnificence.
CH V RCM OP ST. MATTHIAS
As the car rolls along on the even track—for
we Divtat say this road is one of the smoothest
in Philadelphia—there will pass: in the long
Panorama, the pretty, brown stone church of
St. Matthias, belonging to the Episcopal de
nomination. It is a very pretty building, and
since its erection, the neighborhOOd has great
ly improved in its architectural embellish
nients.
The Eastern l'enitentiary is among the most
useful Of institutions. Though located in
Philadelphia, it is a State establishment, and
open for the reception of criminals from any
part of Eastern Pennsylvania. The walls are
splendid specimens of solid masonry. A flue
view Of the front, with its frowning towers,
may be had from the car window.
THE. OLD GREEN HOUSE LOT
On the west side of Nineteenth street : from
Parrish, extending westward to. Twenty-first
street, may be seen a level lot, that yet re
mains to he improved. This is the old Green
House lot, used by the city of Philadelphia for
many years.
This is the name of a brown-stone building
belonging to the Methodist denOmination. It
is located near Poplar street, and was erected
two or three years ago. The old church that
occupied this site, was the recipient of a tre.
mentions stream of electricity, four or five
years since, that shivered the steeple to
pieces. The damage then done was so serious
that a new edifice was ordered. The present
one is neat in its construction, but has no
steeple.
A short distance farther on the car reaches
the depot, at which we conuneneea the pre
sent sketch.
In giving a series of pictures of scenes on the
route, it may be said that at times, in passing
along, there are many buildings, gardens, en
closures, :to., to be seen in the distance, thus
contributing to make a ride on the road one of
the most agreeable in Philadelphia. The west
ern slope of the city, in a word, may be said to
contain the largest, finest, and most palatial
dwellings, ettenlive fOtualijeS, faelories,Oul
mills, upon which millions upon millions of
dollars have been expended. The people of
that section of the city may congratulate
themselves upon having a railway there for
their accommodation.
DEATH Or TM". LARODST LAND OWNER IN TH
UNITED STATES.—JRCOb Strawn, of Jackson.
ville, Illinois, died , suddenly on the 11th ult.
Starting in farming and cattle buying at an
early ago, with a capital of fifty cents in sil
ver, Mr. Strewn came to be the king farmer of
the West—MS acres spread over almost whole
counties, and it was no unreal - thing for him to
sow a field of wheat or plant corn over a space
twice the size of a German kingdom. fie had
sheep and kine upon a thousand hills, or

prospect is that there will be enough wheat
for the home demand, and a surplus for ex
portation, it it is wanted. As to the character
of the crop raised in Eastern Pennsylvania

The Trenton (N. J.) Gazette, of yesterday,
contains the following: .
The propeller Joseph B. Molleson, belonging
to the Merchants' Transportation Company,
of this city, was demolished yesterday, on
day), by the explosion of the boiler, The
steamer was bound to Trenton from New
York. She stopped at Princeton Basin and
unloaded a quantity of freight, and stopped
next at Baker's Basin, about four miles from
this City. Here a portion of the cargo was dis
charged, and about noon the boat was started
ahead, but had not moved from the landing
when the boiler exploded with tremendous
force.
- -
A torrent of steam rushed through the ves
sel and up into the air, the force of the explo-
SiOil Casting barrels, boxes, planks, iron, trag.-
meats of machinery, &c., to a great height in
the air. The explosion was heard for several
miles, and the column of steam, &c., was die,
tinctly seen by boatmen on the canal a mile
and a half distant. The boat was set on fire,
and was burned to the water's edge.
Horatio N. Moore, the engineer of the pro
peller, was very badly scalded and burned,
and severely bruised. He was blown some dis
tance from the boat and thrown upon the land
ing. Last evening he remained in a precarious
condition.
A lady passenger from Bound Brook is miss
ing, and is thought to have been blown into
the canal and drowned. A lad, named Henry
Dougherty, was sitting near the lady when the
explosion occurred, and says he beard her
scream. Dougherty escaped with slight
bruises. The name of the missing lady is sup
posed to be li. Bodine, that being the name on
the travelling ba she brought on board.
g
The captain of the Molleson, Jacob Hinman,
was severely bruise a, but is not seriously in
jured.
The force of the explosion was verygreat,
pieces of the boiler and machinery, planks,
boxes ,bags of grain, &e., being scattered in
every ' direction for a considerable distance.
The captain says that the engineer earried
only thirty pounds of steam while in the ca
nal, which was regarded as perfectly safe, a
heavier pressure being used when in the river ,
and bay.
The cause of the explosion is not known; it
occurred an instant after the engine was set
in motion; but whether caused by a want of
water in the boiler, by too great a pressure, or
from what cause is not, known.

The loss by the destruction of the boat and
cargo is estimated at *4o,ooo—tlie boat being
worth 1515,000 or *20,000, and the cargo 00,000 or
*35,000.

The store and dwelling occupied by Charles

An Appeal to the Citizens of-Philadel
phia in Behalf of the Haltering Peo-
pie of the South
Permit us mein respectfully to call the at
tention of all the friends of humanity to the
American Union Commission, a branch of which
Las been organized in
Baltimore, composed of
some thirty prominent citizens, to give Tenet'
to the suffering people of those sections des°.
lated by the war, and to aid them in the re
storation of their social and civil fabric upon
the basis of " industry, Education, Freedom, and
Christian Morality? , Members of the Commis
sion from Baltimore have visited Itichniond,
the Shenandoah Valley, and other portions of
the South, where they found the desolation so
great that it almost defies description. An
area of sixteen litindred Miles in West Vir
ginia has been overrun no less than twelve
times by contending armies, and stripped bare
of all the necessaries of life. In Little Rock,
Arkansas, there are eight hundred helpless
widows and orphans. General Wilson tele.
graphs from Macon, Georgia, that there are
from twenty-five to fffty thousand persons who
are absolutely destitute of food of every kind.
At Savannah there are two thousand white
refugees, mostly women and children, who are
in the same eontlithin, and four thousand of
the citizens, who, save in the item of a house,
are equally destitute. Thousands of loyal
families have been scattered, their houses
burned, and they left homeless and penniless.
The innocent suffered with the guilty. Schools,
also, for the masses of children who are grow
ing up in ignorance and irreligion, must be
organized. Industry must be stimulated and
directed.
When this work was present/l to President
Lincoln, he Said : Gentlemen, this work Dina
be done, and it receives my hearty sanction."
President Johnson said: "Anything Jean
personally or officially, I will gladly do."
Shall we follow the dictates of our common
humanity and the sublime precepts of the
gospel, to feed the hungry and Clothe the na
ked ; or let famine, with slow and certain step,
put them where no help will be needed? May
we not hope that, with a comprehensive view
of the necessity of this work, and with the
same seal and liberality you have manifested
in giving relief to our suffering soldiers,
through the Christian and Sanitary Commis
sions, you will now come to the rescue of these
impoverished and suffering people.

A LADIR,e MEMORIAL FOR HIS FARDON—A WO
MAN'S ARGUMENT.
Ilottv Sr - runes, Miss., August 1, PAZ.
.21) His Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of
the United States •
The undersigned, ladies of Holly Springs,
would respectfully scd Mit Executive clemency
for Jefferson Davis, late President of the Con-
federate States, now confined in Fortress Mon
roe. Occupying as he did for years before the
inception of the late unhappy civil war promi
nent positions both in the State and Federal
Governments, positions which were cheerfully
accorded him by reason of his undoubted abili
ty and unquestioned devotion to his native
Singh, the undersigned deem it not unbecom
ing to apply to you, sir, the chief of the great re.
presentative government of earth, for indul
gence in his behalf. It is well known to your
Excellency that, for years past, sectional strife
has been seemingly fostered by extremists
both North and South, which led to a general
conflict of 1111339 and the shedding of the best
blood of the land. One party and section have
been forced by the arbitrament of the sword
to succumb. To the victors and their success
the plaudits of the great North has been given
bountifully. Is it asking too much of you to
grant the yielding party and its chief the poor
tribute of honesty for the changes in govern
ment they had in view? Mr. Davis was but the
representative of the defeated party; and,
called as he was by the almost united voice of
the Southern people, to preside over their
councils and guide them through the terrible
storms of war, he was but doing their bidding
in armed conflict, as he had before represented
their views in time of peace; is it, therefore /
right that vials of wrath should be 'amnia
upon his head, who, whatever his faults may
have been, or the supposed errors of his cause,
was devoted and faithful alike to the people
and principles he represented? -
Sir, our once happy and cheerful people have
surely suffered enough. Could the tears that
have been shed, the anguish borne, the despair
Whiell has been our portion during this un
happy war, be brought home to you by a
vision of reality, we could not, would not
plead in vain for one whom we honored in
PrOsperity, and respect and venerate in ad
versity. The war is at an end, the people of
the South have again become loyal citizens of
the United States—our fathers, our brothers,
our husbands, who survived the battle storm,
have returned. to the bosoms of their families.
We submit that fraternal feeling which should
exist between citizens of the same govern
leant can be more effectually restored hy
mildness and clemency than by the punish
ment of those who by reason of common toil,
dangers, and privations, are and must ever be
dear to every true Southerner:
Respectfully, Mrs. W. S. Featherston, Mrs. A.
C. MeEwen, DIM Martha Robinson, Miss E. C.
Polk, Miss Alice Morgan, Miss Alice Morgan,
Miss Mary Morgan, and four hundred and ten
others.

fund of amusement during the winter season.
With proper care they would unquestionably
become popular. No doubt that a grand com

clubs would tin the Academy of Music, a

SPECIAL NOTICES.
THE AFFIANCED PAIR.
SY Tim LAND OP TOWER HALL.
Ades, with her fingers fair,
And swift, though so slender,
Sits sewing and humming en air
Half lively, halt tender.
She sews on a silken dress,
Its hue of the palest gray:
'Us not hard from her look to guess
She thinks of the bridal day.
In fancy herself she espies
By her dear Edmund's side,
And sees all the admiring eyes
Fixed on the groom and bride.
Her Edmund, his mind is busy
With thought as bright as dew;
Though restless and anxious is he.
He has employment, too.
Before a mirror he's Standing;
His brow bears no sad shade.
As lie sees his form commanding
So tastefully arrayed.
He speaks, "Welt, I shalt not look ill
in that most happy hour,
Thanks unto the taste and the skin
Always found at the Tower!'

PERRY 7 B MOTH AND FRECKLE,
Chtleasma, or Mothpatch (also called Liverspot,)
and Lentigo, or Freckles, are often very annoying,
particularly to ladies of light complexion, for the
discolored spots Show more plainly on the face of a
blonde than of a Drat/cue; but they greatly mar the
beauty of either, and any preparation that will ef
fectually remove them, without injuring the texture
or color of the akin is certainly a desideratum. Dr.
B. C. PARRY, who has made diseases of the skins
speciality, has discovered a remedy for these disco
!orations which is at once prompt, infallible, and
harmless.
