eke rtss, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1805: natty OP THE 3OLDIERS.- - A meeting of . discharged Officers of Pennsylvania regiments has been called by a number of gentlemen who have been prominent hi the Union army, for the purpose of ratifying the nominations of Hartranit and Campbell; and also for the • purpose of forming a permanent organiza tion. Tho meeting will assemble at the Court House in Harrisburg, on Wednesday, October 4th, and a very interesting occasion may be expected. The soldiers have been fighting the enemy - with the musket and the sabre, and now, though they have laid aside their suits of blue, they are banding together to crush out the friends of treason andldisunion. The good -wishes of the loyal men of the State will be given them in the good work. May they stand, -as they did in the last four years, a wall of fire between the coward foe and free institutions. Tun Thou PRICE Or . BUTTEII.—A Harrisburg Paper says For some time past the market people have been up' the prices of their produce until it has reached an elevation' al most unattainable to editors and other poor Jolts, but to mechanics especially. This haS been done in this way :—Jones asks Smith sotto voce what he is selling his butter at. Smith re plies, 'forty cents.' Jones says, that aint enough, we can get sixty; put it up;'. and up it goes. This amounts to a combination on the _part of produce venders to keep up the prices of the necessaries of life. His Honor, Mayor Roumfort, determining to put a stola to this un reasonable proceeding, and depress' the enor 'MOM prices, had seyoral of tb eicaders brought before him this morning and gave them his views' on the subject, and promised hi, at tention, to them should this combination con ' tinne. This lAA good move, and we hope his Honor Will insist upon reasonable prices. But ter can be had, three miles oiit Of the City, for twenty-five cents, and there is no reason for asking such exorbitant prices. PUGI Philadelphia Turner vs. New York Turner—Battle at Belmont Cottage yehtevelay—A Big Fizzle—No Marta Done—Our Philadelphia Sporting. Man Asserted to have Gained a Vie. tor, --The Money Claimed by Both— The Staitebolder Refuses to Give it until Both rarties Agree to Fight or Draw. ISpeeial Evport to The Press.) As stated in OUT eoluums, yesterday, two Celebratedbruisers, named "Jack" and "Jim 95 Turner, contended in a prize-fight the guer don, $2,000. Both New York and Philadelphia were considerably excited ; and the two men, their trainers, and their movements were themed around this city. Some men boldly wagered all their money upon thevresult. Our whisky establishments were thronged by the admirers of the ilstie and muscular tour. Dement, and the means of reaching the ring Were anxiously canvassed. They 'were hard to find, and when found were hard to pay for. 'The hackmen were in especial demand, - and exorbitant prica Wore askefi, ranging drem $5O to $7O. Most of the attendants were compelled to give them $4O or $5O for the trip. The three well-known resorts for sports, - kept by Messrs. Senhar, Cropper and John Lazarus, were thronged, at 4 A. M., with the multitudinous admirers of the manly art, and At about 4.30 A. M., a start was made by all the company for the spot selected. About fifteen minutes to four A, M. Jack Turner made hie toilet, and hastened to the Columbia bridge with all speed for them stamps. The match being catch weights no particular attention was paid to the actual fighting physique of the men, but Jack being the taller was in favor for the choice, but no betting was generally made or offered at odds. Every one on arriving at the bridge was anx ious to know where the men were, but few except the initiated had a chance to learn, Jack was quietly ensconced in a cottage, near the ring, which had been prepared during the night, and Jim was taken care of in a room at the Belmont Cot tage, and attended by Ins seconds and friends. The odds were in favor or Jack Turner, although the betting was slow, and little Money was invested. Belmont Cottage, on the crowd reaching there, was speedily ex hausted of its bibulants, and the "knucks" had to feel good on sarsaparilla and other " non committal" drinks, and be glad to get them. THE UM. The ring had been formed about half a mile to the south of the " Cottage," and every one, when be had quenched his thirst' and shook hands with old friends who had joined in the social glass years ago on many such an occasion as a "merry mill," hied thither to witness the exhibition. The ring was pitched under sheltering trees, and was speedily crowded by the anxious. The toss for corners was won by Jim, who placed Jack at the lower corner. Jake McKeown, once head cook and bottle-washer at "Mahogany Hall," South, above Eighth, but now de scended to a freedOmship at the "Golden Gate," 31arket..shova caunmin_ for a long time for anything he could get. THE BATTLE.. James wee first into the ring and Jack short ly followed after, and exclamations of trust for both were uttered by their respective ad miring friends, and at five minutes to seven the men shook hands ana approached the scratch for Round I. Jack was taller than Jim, but neither were in condition, Jim having evi dently suffered from :some cause or other. Jack was not tip-top. Little time was taken up by sparring, and Jack got in with his left, slightly, when a half-rally ensued, and Jack was down amid the cheers of the . Jim Turner party. 2. Jim twice on body aml face, ana both down. 5. Jack right and left on body, getting away; Jim on body, and Jack down. The rounds were very similar, Jack having the best of the hitting, and getting away in admirable fistic style, while Jim was fighting with both bands, at neck and body, amid the supporting cheers of their friends. First blood was claimed for Jim in the se cond round, but not allowed. Jack invariably got in his left on the face, and Jack's wife, who bad followed him from the city, was urging the poor fellow to the utmost. A commentary Jack kept striking his man at every chance, and Jim was not idle. It was evident that Jack was the best fighter. Jim fought his -man on the retreat, and suddenly put in a double-facer to draw. But it seemed to matter little, for this state of affairs went on some time, till ultimately Jim fought Jack down. Jack thought lie could win the fight easily, hut he soon found he had a hard thing to do. Jack Turner's friends were satisfied by his tactics and fighting,afthough many seemed to fancyhe could have clonebetter. Both men are fighters, and if ever Jack Turner fights again he will make his mark. Much dissatisfaction is felt about the affair, and Jack will no doubt stick to the claim for the money. Nothing was definitely decided about the stakes until after 6 P. AL, when the stake holder, Brumacher, was notified not to give up the stakes. Jack Turner is evidently the best tighter, and must have won the i1g,14 had the gentle men from Market street, and Mr. Hastings, of Vine street, had not had everything cut and -dry. Further particulars will be given to morrow, This morning another combat takes place up town, for the sum of $2OO. Nambers are preparing to see it, and the hackman will have another harvest. THE CITY. HONES FOR TEE PEOPLE.—Far and near, from all we meet, comes the complaint " Why are we forced to pay such high rents ?" Houses are scarce. The population of the city has in creased more rapidly than new accommoda tions have been furnished. The natural Mint is that, owin to the demand for houses, rents have apprecia g ted. _ Now that the war is over, and the Govern ' meat is not in the market as a borrowers why do not some of our public-spirited capitalists build a number of dwellings, suitable for small families, and let them. at a cheap rent? It would be far better, at least more honorable, than dabbling in fancy stocks, of which, we have seen so much, and which has led to such mournful results. People have been seized with a desire to be come suddenly rich, end hence too many have abandoned the method of making an honest fortune, and have embarked in wild specula. tions where it will be a wonder if they ever receive the slightest return for the capital they have invested. They have become de moralized by the chance of obtaining wealth, and are willing to risk their all upon a far I poorer chance than the turning of a card or the cast of the dice. If they are not a prey to the swindlers, they beeome swindlers them selves. Thishas been well illustrated in some of the transactions before our city-magic. trait's, and whieh have been reported in these columns. A great and pressing_ need is for houses— small, genteel houses. Here, now, is an oppor tunity for the legitimate employment of capi tal. If some of our prominent capitalists will but form a company and build i few blocks of dwellings, even in the suburban districts of the city, they would have them filled with good tenants, and would receive an excellent interest on the outlay. Real estate is perhaps as safe an investment as can be had. It is lia ble to accident, of course; it may be destroyed by flood or lire, or, as in one case that -hap pened not long since, it may be carried off bodily during the absence of the occupants. But it may be conceded that a well put up building, with a good tenant, is the safest, al , thongh erhaps net the most lucrative method of employing capital. As it is, houses are very difficult to. obtain. A quarter's rent in advance, and a heavy bonus besides, are demanded by some agents 'for desirable propertlea. They are overrun with applications, and cannot accommodate 'a tenth part of their' callers. 'Many are now living in rooms, three or four families occupy ing.one house. Let not the evils of the tene -meat houses, so common in New York, be in :stituted here. We have a large territory, ea 'sensible on the north, south, and west, and there ought to be e.house for every family. It is this practice, heretofore adhered to in this city that bas made Philadelphia so desirable a city for- the 'working man. Hero he could have a home. It has made us a far healthier city than the " metropolis,, , as our brethren arepleased to term New I ork. T he evils of the tenement-house system can not be too severe/5 , decried. They , are the abodes of sin and misery, and nurseries tor all that is low and degrading. The districts where the/ . abound have been appropriately termed eveanestsn by, the press of that city. Though we have no recognized tenement houses here yet the crowding together of so many into one house will surely be productive of ill effects. lipme-hunting, at any time a task, becomes a thousand-fold more irksome, The unfortu nate may travel up one street and down. another, and never meet with a single sign— "To Lel." We have known parties, who, flee ing that a cellar was being dug in some eligi ble loon lity, hen aseertained the owner, and bargained for and rented the house that site, before the foundation tilio-callolsc3clllll3lie3r3O laid. Such might well be caned "taking time by the forelock." It shows the straits to which some people are reduced, and the means theyare COMpeiled to employ to,se cure accommodations. . Give us houses, oh Iye capitalists, and the thanks of grateful, paying tenants shall re sound in your ears, while the greenbacks will ever be ready on rent-day. The people want homes, and it is in .your power to give them. •The investment le sure, and cannot but be profitable. THE CHESTNUT-STREET BRlDGE.—Pre parations for putting in position the segmen tal arches to span the bridge over the Schuyl kill fiver at Chestnut street, are being pushed rapidly forward. There will be two arches of 105 feet span each over the water and two in the approaches upon each side of the river with spans of 60 and 53 feet. On the eastern side there is an additional arch over Twenty: fourth street, the earringe•way of which is spanned by an arch of 26 feet, With s feet 6 inches rise, and a 7 feet semi-circular arch over each feet-way. The shore spans are seg: mental arches,with versed sines relatively of 1$ and 16 feet, The street arch is fine centred. The main spans are Intended to be segmental arches of cast iron with a versed sine of 20 feet, the ribs to have a depth of 4 feet, with a sectional area of 147.05 square inches, which, with six ribs, will give SSS square Inches of re sisting area to each span. The abutments are 42 feet 2 inches in length of roadway and 55 feet 2 inches wide at spring ing line, with three horizontal cells in each, arched at both ends, the thickness of solid work at springing on face being 16.5 feet, and oif back from - which the first stone arch springs, 6 feet, The cells are each 7.5 feetwide with piers 4.1 wide between. The approach on the east, which is in part sustained by retain ing• IN-alls, is 505 feet long from the west line of Twenty-third street, on the east to the east -abutment, measurine front abutment face, and on the west 547!4 feet longfrom the east line of Thirtieth street to west abutment face. The pier in the middle of the river is about 50 feet West of the channel, and stands about 5 feet in its length (73.r>7 feet) askew with the general direction of the river at that point, with a width of sixteen feet at springing line. The d istances between pier and abutments are 185 feet, thus giving a totallength to the structure, inclusive of approaches, of 1,1251-4 foot. The masonry on main abutments and pier, as well as the abutments and pier of approach arches, are faced with closely-cut granite, from the quarries of Fox Island, off the coast of Maine, near Rockland. It is laid with the kleinish bond (alternate header and stretcher), with face "dabbed" and "drafted." No stretcher has less than 2 feet bed and 6 feet length ; no header less than 4 feet length, with 2 Sect face, the Courses varying in thickness from 20 inches to 2 feet. The backing, which is from the Lelperville quarries, is generally laid with roughly-dressed beds and builds. Pi:EMS—Yesterday mornine• at half-past six vcioch, the toot of an old building in the rear of the feed store of Robert McMullen, No. 1740 Market street, was discovered to be on fire.

The first and second floors are occupied by Miller & Elder, booksellers and stationers. The third and fourth stories were occupied by John G. manufacturer of blank. books. The flames originated lathe bookbindery, and it is thought they had been smouldering ewe.. Saturday night. They were speeaf— iy extin: guished.

Upon this there is an insurance of 037,000 in Philadelphia, New York and New England companies. The insurance is princi pall y upon the machinery. There is verylittle on the real estate, and none whatever on the stock.
