g4it Vrtss, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1865 A RECENT "REBEL"_ ON NORTHERN SYMPATHIZERS. The author of the following communica tion, ig n late Confederate officer," has left his name with the editor of Taz Puss : PHILADELPHIA, PA., September 12,1865 EInTOY.. : Will you have the kindness to permit me the use of your valuable columns for a few moments that I may lay.before some of your readers, at least, a grievance which have sorely felt of Intel At the outset I de clare myself a " Southern rebel,"—late a Con federate officer. I fought the Union army— and I may have fought well, Or I may have fought indifferently. However, lam sure my men fought long, and bravely, too. We were Overpowered and nothing was left but to sur render to your victorious legions. I was pa roled,and baying lost everything of my world ly possessions—my negroes, my houses, my money and all, I came North in hopes Of re trieving my fortunes, or at least in some mea sure alleviating my misery. I arrived in your goodly city a few weeks after General Lee's surrender, and have remained here almost un interruptedly since that time. My acquain tances here are necessarily few, owing to my brief residence. I will state, however, that among that "limited circle," I can point to a number of "ardent Southerners," as they are pleased to call themselves. I f2equently hear the expressions, "How I wish the South had been victorious," Or "I only wish you had taken Washington," and "how bravely you fought." Now, Mr. Editor, will you permit me to say to these pretended friends that such remarks are highly insulting—they grate harshly on my Cars, at least. I am entirely obliged to such people for their landations ; but Would just as soon they would maintain si lence. The true Southron "girded on his ar mor" and marched to his country's rescue. We may have been misguided people, but with hearts true as steel," we faced our foes. We asked help at other hands, and we gladly ac. cepted the services Of all who offered. Eut how many of these truculent sympathizers ever gave one iota toward the success of our arms? How many of them ever braved the danger Of a Yankee bullet or a 'Yankee bap>. net? How many . of them dame to our assis tance when every additional man was a tower Of strength? Net one. A man said to me the other day, "I wish you had succeeded." Ai Do yell?" said I, " Yes, said he, " and I assure you I was Viillyoufrom the commencement." " what regiment did you serve in," queried L Oh, Ido not mean that I fought with you, but I gave myhest wishes to you." ' , Well, my friend," said I, half ironically, 4 ' bOW many of our foes were put to rout by your best ?view ?" lie began to realize his un pleasant pOsiti On, find, Without waiting for his reply, I added : "Now, sir, so long as OUT acquaintance continues., never let me hear you prate about the South again. If you had been the trire friend you profess yourself, you Would have shared the dangers of the men Who had the courage and Manliness to shout cler a Musket and back their assertions by stern lighting." At this point we separated; and I will only incidentally add, fOr the benefit of the despi cable Class of persons to Which I allude, that they are sadly mistaken if they think they can gain the iriendship of true Southerners by such a course. During the sanguinary strug gle, the South did not ask for idle sympathy ; we wanted men, powder, arms, ammunition, provisions, elothinz, dollars and cents. One man in the ranks, one woman in the Sick ward, one dollar in the treasury, one charge Of powder, or one yard of bandage was worth more than nu the gas - which has been let off by sneaking, 'bowardly men dna women in the North, who profess such friendship. The people of the Smith thought themselves aggrieved, and accepted the arbitrament of War to redress their wrongs. Those who ven tured their lives, who sacrificed every dollar they possessed in the world, should be the ones to speak now. We were conquered, and I, among thousands of others, am willing to abide the issue. I am content with my posi tion, though almost pcnnileSS. I clo not asic any aid, and I would moat certainly refuse any from cowards, I only wish the approval of the public, and I shall endeavor to make an honest living among the people who were once My enemies. Finally, I trust to God I shall never again hear any sneaking poltroon, man or woman, praising the efforts of flier Southern people, and almost in the same breath declaring that they never assisted them in the struggle save by ivorcN. I admire a man who has fought for his sentiments, but these prating cowards are more loathsome than the veriest worm that I would crush benezth my foot. lirzßussxrri RIFLBALAI,7 STATE ITEMS. —The Reading Record thus speaks of the family of General Sehimrnelpfennig " The General, whose funeral took place at Charles Evans' Cemetery on Saturday afternoon, was forty-one years of age, and leaves a widow and three children, the eldest about twelve and the youngest six years of age.

Fr.A.ssratr, PA., Sept. (,), 180. To ED:von OF Tam PRESS : During more than four weeks Wilt in that - part of our State commonly denominated "the oil reglon,ll I have seldom been able to procure a Phila delphia paper, and have been almost wholly dependent for news from my native city upon such notice as the New York papers con descendingly take of the affairs of the surround ing villages. It is to be hoped that the common schools of this section use a geography which has in it a map of Pennsylvania, and that Philadelphia occupies a point in one corner of said map ; otherwise tbe rising generation can hardly be expected to know of the ex istence of such a city. It is keenly mortifying to any Philadelphian, who makes a personal matter of the reputation of his own City, to observe bow nearly she is ignored in the very section which her wealth and enterprise have done so much to develop. The papers of New York are distributed wherever the rail roads penetrate throughout the northwestern counties of Pennsylvania before sunrise of the day immediately succeeding their pub lication; while Philadelphia papers of, same date do not reach these parts until fall twelve hours afterwards; and even then, the locall, tics so favored are but few in number. While I ate my breakfast this morning the newsboys were crying through the streets, " New York Mild, Tribune, Times (of, yesterday morning), with as much earnestness as they do on Chestnut street. Nearly all the New York dailies Can be found here in any news office, and they are sold on all the rail road routes. You can even get the papers of Erie, Cleveland, Pittsburg, and Cincinnati, but seldom one from Philadelphia. It is said that Philadelphia papers can sometimes be had in Oil City, but your correspondent has never been so fortunate as to find one there. A news-agent informed me that the reason why he has no Philadelphia papers is, because he cannot get them here under three days, owing to detentions on the way, and that they ara,then too stale to find purchasers ; and I am told by the postmaster of Franklin that the paper maibbag from Philadelphia usually reaches this place but once in two daps, while there is a bag of this cles.eription from New York every day. If the subscription list of this place to our city dailies is a short one, this last statement, I think, furnishes a Sufficient reason for it. It is very unfortunate, to say the, least, that there is no train leaving Phila delphia in the morning which reaches the northwestern counties before the eve ning of the day following, and this is all the more remarkable, inasmuch as Phila delphia has "the inside track," having choice of two routes, and being by either of them fifty miles nearer the oil region than New York. With her two great arms stretching across the mountains, and gather ing in their iron embrace nearly all the north ern Kan western counties, our city should not only have a strong hold upon the trade throughout this circuit, but she should be able to furnish "the latest news" at least two hours in advance of New York. To say that tratii is very much influenced by newspaper circulation, is not, I think, over-estimating the power of the daily press. Show Me the newspaper circulation of any place, and Pll show yon where the people trade. One need but walk the streets of Franklin, Meadville Titusville, or Oil City, for a practical illustra tion. Can you find the names of any of our Ph;le.delphia jobbers on the dry-goods W's at the store doors 1 Go up Pit-hole, French, or Oil creeks, and note how few of the engines and tools are from Philadelphia Irorkshops ! A few days since my attention was called to the large number of engines in and about the railroad station at Franklin. I counted tel Each bore the, maker's name. With two exceptions,` all of them were built in. il/S CA. or Salto of _Yew Yoric—Oswec , t> o Newburg, Buffalo, Doehester, &c. One was built in-Detroit, and only one in the iron State of Pennsylvania, and that in the city of Erie. Dear it, ye princes of maebinists—Messrs. lifer ris, Tasker, Merrick, Baldwin, Arehambault, and a score more whose reputation is as well established as the hills from whence ye draw your wealth of iron and coal! Gentlemen of The Press, can you not bring about some change in the time tables of our railroads 1 Then send out your energetic anti enterprising Mr. Graeff among our merchants and manufacturers, and get two or _three co lumns of fresh advertisements, and print an Utitrzt edition of your valuable daily for the enlightenment of this oleaginous region. Tours, TILE CITY. BOARD of SCHOOL UONTROLLERS..— A stated meeting of the Board of Controllers of Public Schools was held yesterday afternoon— President, E. W. Shippen, in 'the chair. Cemmumcations were received as follows : One from the first section, requesting the board to petition Councils to purchase three several lots of ground at Ninth and Tasker streets, Sixth and Dickerson streets, and Se cond and Norris streets. Referred to Committee on Property, with in- Mructions that, if the same be approved, they petition Councils on the subject. One from the second section, requesting the board to erect a first-class school-house on Carpenter street, above Sixth, on a lot appro. Priated for that purpose. One from the twenty-first section, request ing the beard to endeavor to procure sueh modification of the present law respecting, the election of teachers in the public schools, as will enable the sectional boards to elect as assistants, in the primary schools, persons who are not qualified by certificates of the Board of Controllers, or graduates of the High School, and that our Controller he requested to support the same. Referred to Committee on Qualification of Teachers. • One from the City Solicitor instructing the president of the board that the warrants for the purchase of the lot at Seventeenth and rine streets could be given to Hon. James Thompson, as the deeds were ready to be de livered. .. One from the president of the board admo nishing the members of the existence of the cholera in the eastern hemisphere, and of its probable westward march. it suggests elea.u hness in the school buildings, and. adds that though this board has from time to title called upon public authorities to furnish am ple school accommodations, and though they are blameless, yet they will merit censure if they do not use such preventives from dis ease as may be at hand. Many of our schools are shamefully neglected by the janitor% that a very large proportion of them have no fit re/Ant/lion—that we must occupy these build ings as school (or store) houses for our chil dren a year or two longer, even if City Coun cils should give promptly the lots on which to Erect new buildings, with the funds already appropriated for building purposes. To a large degree, by timely prudence and forethought, the spread of the cholera may be mitigated by causing our school cellars to be cleansed, and by ample use of lime, providing for better ventilation, and generally by adop ting, such counsel as the health officers and medical gentlemen may suggest. The communication recommends that each sectional board be requested to make, or cause to be made, at as early a day as practica ble, a complete, careful survey of each and every 'building and yard occupied or used for school purposes, and to report to this board as soon as possible (not later than the next stated meeting), the sanitary condition of each, giving all needful information which will aid this board in future measures which it may adopt, to guard against the pestilence now so fatal in Europe. Also, that such reports be at once referred to the Committee on _Property, with instructions to report promptly to this board what steps, in their judgment, may be desirable. On motion, the recommendations embraced in the conitunnication, 'were unanimously adopted. • The Committee on Accounts presented a list of claims amounting to *l9-1,692.68. Warrants were ordered for the payment of the same. The Coinmittee on Grammar, Secondary, and Primary Schools reported that they had con sidered the subject of the introduction of music into our schools under the resolution of the board adopting music as a study after January 1,186 G, and believe that four teachers can take charge of all the schools in the city contemplated bygiving lessons of One hour to each school once a week; that a salary of ')St .251) to each teacher should secure the NT , vices of. competent professional men. The committee recommend the passage of the fol lowing resolution Resolved, That the Committee on Estimates be directed to include in their report for the ann. al expenses of our schools, the sum of ga,eoo for Snell claims of music teachers, and such an additional sum for in asic.books as they may deem essential. The report was adopted. The swine committee reported,in reference to the best mode of introducing physical ex ere/Se in our schools,that, in their judgment, after due consideration, the best and most economical and most practical method is that which in streets a sufficient number of teachers, not only in the mere exercise of light gym nastics and calisthenics, but also in the theory and principles of their application so as to produce the most healthful results. The com mittee therefore suggest that a sufficient num ber of teachers—in aIl not Mere than one from each grammar school in the district—shall be reported by the several boards for a course of instruction that those so selected by the several boards shall lie divided into two classes-one from the northern part and the other_ from the southern part of the city -which classes should be wider the tuition of the gymnasts signing the communication, and upon the terms stated. bt.The committee belleveS that with one com petent instructor in each grammar school, such exercises may be successfully tetra duced as may be adapted to the grades of the respective schools and the ages of the pupils ; and further, that those teachers instructed on the plan reported, will soon themselves be able to impart information to the other tea chers, and thus, before king, the teachers ge nerally will be able to take charge of their respective classes. The expense of instruct ing the teachers will not exceed the sum of 51,000, and the cost of the appliances will not exceed $::,0e0,. or seventy cents per pupil, and the outlay will not be renewed annually. It may not exceed 51,000 annually , . The expense is so small that in reason it cannot be object ed to. The two High Schools are to be considered in introducing physical exercises; and the respective committees should appoint suit able icaeliorg from those schools, to be in structed with others, for thus the many gradtt ates who come from those institutions will be duly prepared to carry out the system when they may hold the position of teacher. The committee reports the following, reso lutions, and ash their adoption : Rosa red, Thatjthe Committee on Estimates for lak, he directed to inclu d u dn aue e n ataludcstifti the stn of $7,500, gysicaier. else, into our schools. Revd red, That a copy of this report and these resolutions be forwarded to Councils, with the re quest that the board be authorized to expend *tom, payable Out. of We appropriation of MG, so US to enable t eac h ers to instructed , and be ready to teach by the Ist of January. 10. Attached to the report is a communication from Dr. Wm. Jansen and from liitle brand brand awl? ewis,affering toteach a class of two hundred at ten dollars each, for twenty-roar lesttons each of an hour and a half or of two hours duration, once a week. They guarantee to tench the class to such proficiency that they 'will be able to impart instruction by the first of January, 1505. • Mr, Fletcher was opposed to the passage of the resolution at the present time, lie was afraid that too many new things were being introduced, andtlae scholars would be crowded in their studies. Mr. Moore was strongly in favor. f the reso lution: We are growing more weak and puny (-very day and we need something 'dikethe 'lava proposed to develop the yonng. Meenteheon did not know where the teaching was going to be held. There is no room in the schools for exercising gymnas tics. Mr. Shippen explained that the exercises proposed could be taught in the aisles of the seboot; it was not intended to erect gym nasiums. Mr. Fletcher-moved to postpone tllO-reSolu tion for the present. Lost—yoas 12, nays 12, The resolution passed finally—yeas 17, nays 7. Mr. Fletcher offered a resolution requesting the City Treasurer to make some arrange ment by which the warrants issued by this board Shall be paid upon presentation. The resolution passed unanimously. Mr. Fletcher offered a resolution introducing the study of hook-keeping into the grammar, consolidated, and unclassified schools. Re ferred to Commitee on Grammar, Secondary, and Primary Schools. Mr. Moore offered a resolution recommend ing to each hoard of School Directors to intro duce the plan Of publicly awarding such Certi ficates to meritorious scholars annually, and on such occasions to invite the presence of parents and relatives of the pupils, and in order to invite a greater interest, to have such suitable examinations and musical declama tory and other exercises, es in their judgment may seem appropriate. Reaolred, That these annual exhibitions will be appropriately held, within the week preceding Christmas. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Dr. Vaughn moYed to reconsider the resolu tion adopting the report of the Committee on Limitation of Studies for admission into the Boys , High School, adopted July 11,1865. The motion was opposed by Messrs. Fletcher, Freeborn, and Moore, on the ground that the schools hint been operating on the report, and it would necessitate a change of studies if the motion were adopted. Tile motion was laid on the table. Mr. Fletcher offered a resolution requesting Councils to appropriate fifty dollars to defray, the expenses of examination of teachers for grammar sChools: The Chair appointed the following Commit tee on Estimates, for the year 1866: Messrs. Mlles, chairman; Fletcher, Duffy Freeborn, Leviek. Sebald°, Vaughn, Haines, Atarke. Adjourned.

DEDICATION OF HALL OF THE YOUNG MEWS CURISTIAN ASSOCIATION.—Last evening a large audience, consisting chiefly of ladies, wet:raided at the new ball OC the Young Men's Christian Association, to take part in its &di. cation. Shortly after 8 o'clock the ceremonies were inaugurated by the singing by the choir of the dedication anthem, Lord of Hosts;" after which the hymn, From all that dwell below the sldes," OBsEuvEA. was snug by the entire assembly. Prayer was offered by the Bey, Mr. Miller, invoking the Divine blessing on the asso ciation and the - work it has imposed upon itself. Rev. Mr. Allen then read the ist Psalm. The anthem, "0, be joyful in. the Lord," was then sung. It was announced that Mr. George 11. Stuart and the President of the Association, Mr. Si mons, had intended to be present, but were detained by other engagements. Mr. John SVanamaker, of the Building COM mittee, reported that they had succeeded in securing the lease of the property for eight years, with the privilege of purchasing at a fixed - price. The cost of making the altera tions was stated to be $6,850, and the fittinup and furniture cost $1,700, making a total of e 5,600, of which id,2oe were subscribed, leaving them $4,400 in debt, which is expected to be covered by the efforts of friends. Rev. Mr. Calkins made a short address, Say ing that the necessity of such an association should be made known to the public. It was intended to save youth from ruin. There was an idea with some that the. Christian's Week was done when churches and Sunday-schools had been erected. But the laws of political economy do not apply here, but are pre cisely reversed. The supplt must create the demand. Such was the act in the early days of Christianity, and it should be done now. There were not enough places of resort where young men could be induced to assem ble, and be saved fromthe allurements of vice. The anthem "Bow down thine ear," was chanted, after which the dedication prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Suydam, The hymn, " All hail the power of Jesus' name," was sung, the audience joining, after which addresses were delivered by Rev. Mr. Beadle, Mr. Hawes, Dr. Bomberger and Mr. Parvin, of Chestnut Hill. A himn was sung, and the audience dis persed. It was announced that the new hall would be open daily from 9 A. M., and on each eve ning from 7 until 10. P. M., for public inspec tion, when ladies are invited. THE SAFE °Amp— —Mr. Charles Butler met with a Mr. Del:faxen at the Kensington depot yesterday, and showed him a small ball, which he Opened, and revealed a flve•eent note safely stowed away. Now let's get up a joke on that fellow, said Butler, pointing to a third man. The note was taken out, and the last-mentioned man called and he offered to 'w bet the note as in the bail still. Mr. Butler told Mr. DeHaven he had a dead sure thing, and to bet on it. Mr. Dellaven had no ready cash, but he put up his watch and chain, when the third man opened the ball, and there was a note, so he quietly pocketed the watch and chain, Officers Mc dees and Graham eaptureci Butler and introduced him to Recorder Eno if; After the case was heard the following conver sation ensued: . . _ Recorder. Well, Butler, what have you to 11 )1 ' tier, It was a fair bet, sir. Recorder. I will send you to prison. Butler. What, for that? Recorder. Yes, you have robbed this man. Who was your companion? Butler, Never saw him before, sir. The Recorder now took op a trey of clubs, in which was wrapped a Silver five-cent piece, both of whiehApvere found in the prisOnerls pocket, and stiff, "Butler, what is this?" Butler. Really, your Honor, I have not time to explain. hir.Butler had time to go to itloyamensing. PRESENTATION OP A HORS - E.- 6 0U of the Detective Officers having been appointed 'a marshal of the Firemen's Parade, a few of his friends yesterday sent to the Mayor's office a horse. The animalwas neither spavined, wind broken, or glandered, His legs were as clean as a whistle, and his body would have Stood the criticism of the best of our jockeys. It is true, lie only measured three hands in height, but then his beautifully-arched neck made up for that deficiency. Many of the marshals of the approaching parade would doubtless like to have a presentation of a horse, but not so with our knight of the special force. He deli: berately, and with malice aforethought, pro ceeded to disjoint the legs of the animal ; and if any veterinary had been present, he would have seen how quickly horseflesh couldbe dis posed of. President Johnson refused to re ceive a pair of horses, and our Detective did not imitate him, but received the horse, and Cut up its poor, clear little legs. A formidable walk is before the marshal, we apprehend ; but as people make their beds, so shall they lie in them, SALE 451? REAL ESTATE, STOCKS, (K5C.— Messrs.

Mr. Menu in open ing the ease,said that last Monday he bad some business which occupied his mind fully, and if a, man is pulling away at a rope he cannot pull at another rope without letting go of the first. This defendant approached him, and said some thing about his case while his mind was then occupied, and while he appeared to listen to him courteously he did not hear a WOrti he said. Hisson, Charles Mann, Esq., heard what was !said, and remarked to McDonald, don't annoy my father now I will call his attention to your case. That was all that _passed both with, himself and eon, and gave Mr. Warren the occasion to say what ho If people who circulate; slanders in thig community, could only see the misery they cause, it would shame them.
