E4t : 1 , 1 TIM FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6 ; 1865 A MASONIC APPEAL. All the Brotherhood In the Vuited states Conjured to Renew the Bonds of 'Union. The Silt Grand Offleeri of the Grand Lodge of Free and Aeoented Masons of Pennsylvania, and the Masonic jurisdiction therennto be longing—viz : Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Senior and Junior Grand Warden, Grand Treasurer and Grand Secretary—have addressed a letter to the Freemasons of the United States, urgently calling on them, one and all, to unite now, at the close of a long and terrible conteet, to Carry out the princi- Plea of order, brotherly love and charity, to which the Order is consecrated. This docu ment we here subjoin : 2b the Freemasons of the'United Stales: The deplorable contest in our country, which for tke past four years has separated States and people, inaugurated and carried on to de atroy the Federal Union of the United States, is now ended. History , enthroned in the ma jesty of a coming judgment, with the calm ness of retrospect, and the impartiality of truth, will determine on whom the responsi bility rests of this crime against representa tive government. It will award to sections and individuals their merited condemnation. The oracles of Truth and Justice, unimpaired by the, passions and prejudices of men, will Proclaim a final and unalterable decree. Let us then leave to these attributes of Om niscience their divine duties. The civil war is closed. Efforts of patriots and statesmen must now be directed to the restoration of - unity and concord among the . people who so lately were in hostile array against each other. The things that are behind must no longer occupy our thought, since they excite discord and embittered association. The future must engage all our energies. The mighty task of constituting reconciliation, is the duty now imposed upon us. The i%iialuial of the Wye. pant of peace and love, must be by rebaptism with the spirit of charity in the waters of Methe. _ Brethren of the Order of Freemasons, we have our duties to perform. Masons who wor• ship in the temple dedicated to a common fra ternity, our masonic minds and hearts have been taught those sublime lessons there only imparted. As our ancient and honorable Order has never taken part "in Conspiracies against go vernment," since this is forbidden, its mem bers must be true to the teachings of the craft. We, everywhere throughout this land, must be the first to show by our conduct and con- versation, by our example and our precepts among men, that there is vital vigor in the virtues of Freemasonry. We are a united. band, free and accepted by and between our selves. Discord and enmity—the evil passions, revenge, distrust, hatred and malice, never Set have entered the Masonic temple. If our faith is strong in the landmarks, if we have known of the doctrine that it liveth and abideth among es, in all times, in all perils, in every commotion ; in strife and war, let us now demonstrate that we hold it as delivered to us by the fathers. Our Order is consecrated to unity, brotherly love, charity. To enlighten mankind has been our mission since the earli est Of ages. Before Christianity the temple of the emit was open. Its teachers were calling before the days of the patriarchs, to man kind to COnlo and receive the light. That light has never yet gone out. The Jew, before the altar on the sacred mount—the Tarsee, in his adoration of the sun—the Mussnlman, bowing to the east, in prayer—the Greek, before the shrine of his divinity—the -Christian, in devout faith at the foot of the cross, alike, in the days of their generation, }mew and understood the mystic language, "God said let there be light, and there was light." Brethren, we also are gathered in our temple, you assembled in yours,- Masons in every clime or country, are by adoption and acceptance in a common fraternity one, united, and inseparable. There can be neither schism, separation nor rebellion within or among us. - The white apron of repentance and innocence is an emblem we all compre hend. It teaches us that the entrance into the holy of holies can be had but in subordina tion to the fundamental principles of the order. It admonishes us at all times, under all circumstances, to renounce every act or deed, and the motives for either, which can destroy unity, harmony and charity. Each member of our fraternity in the seve ral Grand Lodge jurisdictions of the United 'States, is directly appealed to in his indi vidual masonic character, to maintain, in all their integrity, the principles of the order. It is his solemn duty. Obligations once as sumed, must ever be binding in all their force, en the conscience of every Mason. We can not, if we would, surrender or silence them. They unite the soul to the Throne of Jehovah, and are as eternal as His laws. We invoke the serious consideration of the craft to the most weighty responsibility to which reference imade. These obligations impose on lifasoriA and jurisdictions the recognition of those rights which are thus common to each and all, and constitute the life, power and virtue of the Masonic relations. We believe it to be the duty of Freemasons to regard the craft in the jurisdiction of the States of the South, as brethren. It is theirs to -recognize the power Of this universal star sonic landmark. Thus the reunion of fraternal association can be established, and this ex ample before the people will be a demonstra tion of the living power of our venerable insti tution. Brethren of the Sunny South, we believe sour faith and sincerity in the landmarks are equal to ours. We claim no right to sit in judgment over your fidelity or your obedience to the landmarks—or your devotion to their perpetuity. We recall from the past four years neither witness nor testimony. The Light in the Masonic Temple casts no shadow. It is ever at the meridian when we look into each other's hearts, and take each other's hands in brotherly love. But while we are all Masons we are also fellow-countrymen. We are citizens of States whose prosperity is in dissolubly connected with this Union. We are citizens of States where individual and Collec tive happiness and welfare can be beat main tained, encouraged and secured by the union of these States, as our fathers and your fathers made it by that great compact, the Constitu tion. Let US invoke your cordial and unre served acknowledgment of this truth. Let us invoke your aid to cement together the people of the States, "without any reservation or self-evasion of mind whatever." Let us, and you,. come together in unity, in harmony, charity and brotherly love, as Masons, labor.. lug for the common benefit of our fellow-citi zens and mankind. The outside world, our brethren round the globe, every peoples have had their anxious attention directed to this Union of States, in the land of the setting Sun. The problem of free government has been closely observed in its practical working for the past half cen tury. They know, up and down in this land, the craftsmen are dwelling in the mystical organization of the Order. The world and our craft, are asking in every known tongue, has Masonry no power to heal the wounds of the commonwealth. flas Masonry no power to bind up . that which is broken, to pour in oil and wine into the torn and lacerated hearts of citizens of that great nation of the West. Have Masonic teachings lost their power] Are the ears deaf that the people cannot bear the joyous sounds of unity and peace, con cord, charity and brotherly love, which come out of the Masonic temple, as the rays of the morning out of the chambers of the sunrisel Brethren, let us show mankind the power and the truth of Masonic landmarks. Let us gird our loins with strength, take the symbol of love and - unity in our hands, put on our feet the sandals of good will imbue our hearts with earnestness and faith then will all the people - wonder and rejoice, then will the glad tidings -of great Joy fill the Masonic world. Then will we throw away the iron tools of the out side craft of men, and again take up those symbolic emblems, by which foundation stones of union are securely laid. We owe our country and the world the duty Of our example. Let us make it manifest. Come among us, we 'will go among you. Your temple is our temple; your masonry our masonry; - whither masonic teachings bid us go, let us go together. Brethren, we invite you, by the great glory of our indestructible Order, by the undying light which illumines our pathway to and from the communion of the craft, by your precept and example, and • efforts among your > fellow-countrymen, to begin the great work of reconciliation. Then, in the future of this great nation, the Holm of the whispering waves of the Pacific, uniting with the roar or the Atlantic, will pro claim, "Mercy and truth are met together, righteousness and peace have kissed each. other." Men of America, behold and listen! We officers of the Grand Lodge of Freemasons Of we State of Pennsylvania, have felt it our peculiar privilege thus to address the craft in their several jurisdictions, North, South, East, and West, of this - Union. We do this in the true spirit of freemasonry. .IVe appeal only to Masons by the immemorial language used among them everywhere. There is no other motive but charity, unity, brotherly love, which actuates us. With politics we have nothing to do. We are Masons, and as Masons we invoke your ear to listen, and your hearts to act. Brethren, by the love and light, hope and faith which belong to our Order, as from the beginning of time, we salute you. Maythe great Architect of Heaven and Earth so level and square our minds and hearts, that by. our motives and actions, "men may know .that Thou_, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the Most Hig h over all the Barth." The undersigned have been induced to make this commmucation to the members of the Order in the United States, trusting that the purity of their purpose will be acknowledged and appreciated. Let the good of Masonry be extended and established, and mankind be led to believe that the virtues of this venerable Order yet exist in the potency of their prime- Val Strength, Wisdom and Beauty. We salute you, as bound with us, in the 4ionds of fraternal charity and love. Lucius H. Scow, Grand Master of Masons in Penna. JOHN L. GODDARD, Deputy Grand Master. RICHARD VANE, Senior Grand Warden.

MEETING IN THE EIGHTH WARD. -A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Union Citizens of the Eighth ward, was held last evening, at the Horticultural Mill, at Broad and Walnut streets. Hon. Henry C. Carey was called to the chair, on taking which he delivered the following : When last, my friends, we met in this hail, the country Wag engaged in a war unparal leled in its dimensions, whose issue still re mained in doubt. But a single year has since elapsed, and now to war has succeeded peace the meet profound, and the then endangere4 Union now stands assured against the world. For this great change we are indebted to the prudence and ability of 3.1 r. Lincoln and his Cabinet, and the genius of our military leaders. How different the present condition of the country to that of Mr. Buchanan's administra tion. Then the treasury was bankrupt; scarce- ly a hundred million dollars could have been raised ; but for four years we have furnished nearly a thousand millions each year and this when British journals were denouncing our securities as worthless. Of all the charges recorded in the world's history this is, as I think, the most remark able. To what, my friends, has it been duet To the one great fact that when the Chicago Convention had nominated Mr. .LineOln it pined him onaplatform whose most important plank was found in pledges of protection to the American farmer, protection to the Ame rican mechanic, protection to the American miner, protection to the American laborer, protection to the - wives and daughters of Ame rican men—protection of all American inte rests against the cheap-labor system, by means of which Britain so long has sought to rule the world and brutify the people. These pledges have been nobly redeemed, and thus has that demand for labor been cre ated which created our extraordinary pros perity to which we are indebted for the money to carry on the war, which has resulted in the vindication of free institutions and the honor of the flag. litany years since I said, and printed, that the British free-trade system, as established by the Democratic pro-slavery tariff of 1546, was costing , us not less than three thousand millions of dollars a year. Under the national system, rednaugurated under a Republican Administration, most of that labor is saved ; and hence it is that, notwithstand ing all the vast expenditures of the past four years, the country is greatly richer than. it had ever been before, The whole future of the country is depend ent on the readoption of a system which will give the fullest protection to the working, man. To this the candidate of the Union par ty for the mayoralty staudg fully committed. Among the cities of the Union, Philadelphia now stands pre-eminent as regards .efforts in the past four years for maintenance of the Union. Let us, my friends, now go ahead in the same direction, proving by our votes for city and county onicerq, and for the gallant soldiers on the State ticket, that in time of peace we are determined to retain the proud position the war has given us. To the Republican party yon have stood in dehted for_proteCtiOn, To it, and it alone, can you look fora. its continuance. By . protecting It and its representatives, you are, in fact, pro tecting yourselves. In common with most of you, my friends, I have been disposed ocea clonally to grumble, but looking back over the eventful years of the war, find myself now dis posed to assert the belief that in no country of the world Could halt a dozen men have been round to do so well the great work as has been done by those who composed Mr_ Lincoln's Ad ministration, and now surround his honored and patriotic successor. The remarks of Mr. Carey were frequently interrupted by applause. Addresses were also delivered by Messrs. G. A. Grow, Wm. A. Rawie, and Lorin Blodget, after which the meeting adjourned. GREAT FAIR AT THE ACADEMY OF MlT sm.—The fair to commence at the Academy of Music on the 23d inst., for the purpose of rais ing a building and endowment fund for the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home,bids very fair to be second Only to that held in Logan square, in June, 1561. The Home is already te.mpora• rily established, by consent of City Councils, in the building at the corner of Race and Crown streets. This property was purchased Several years since by the city authorities for public school purposes. The Soldiers' Home emanated from the Coopershop Volunteer Re freshment Committee. A charter for the in stitution was supervised by the Ron. Oswald. Thompson, President Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, in the latter part of the year 1851, or early in 1852. At a later period the home was furnished and duly inaugurated. Subsequently, a large number of ladies and gentlemen, who had been, from the earliest dawn of the causeless rebellion, k assiduous and self-saerifleing in their efforts - to meet all emergencies that would necessarily arise, proposed to assist the Cooper-shop managers in making the home a permanentinstitution. After several confe. renees on this subject a re-organization was effected, and thus the Soldiers' and Sailors] Dome stands at present before the public. It is the intention of the managers to make the Home a national institution, and to effect this desirable object they have prepared a pro gramme that Minna help drawing tens of thousands of -people to the Academy of Music, not only from our own State, but from other States of our glorious Union. It is not an im probable thing that articles will be sent to the fair from States keeently in rebellion against the constituted authorities of the National Government ; thus will be forged another link in the grand chain of patriotism that will bind the Northern and Southern sections in the stronger bonds Of Union. . The proposed fair will be conducted on the plan of the groat sanitary demonstration that occurred sixteen months ago. Among the names of the ladies and gentlemen who have charge of the affair we notice those Of peraons who have been, to our personal knowledge, unremitting in their attention to the sick and wounded soldiers at all hours, in all seasons, from the earliest days of the rebellion. Night and day did these nohla.hearted ladies watch with maternal care and tender Solicitude over the fevered mid wounded soldiers who had been brought to this city before the National Government had made permanent arrangements for their re ception. The Government knew that the pros trate soldiers would not be from home in the city of Philadelphia. Now that the war has ceased, and the shim- Meting rays of peace have reached alino6t un clouded splendor, more time can be spared, and a larger number of people can employ themselves in completing the grand and graphic picture, by the erection of a splendid commodious home for the comfort and happi ness of the maimed soldiers and sailors of our great and glorious COUlltry. lIINITRD A•ms Bor.ornns i AND SAILORS' Hour. of PrxxsytvAntA.—P.

Several persons were standing in conversation rela tive to the coming election. The odds were in favor of the Union ticket three to one. A person, comilarativelq S stranger offered his advice gratuitously, and he mot with an unex pected reward. He desired to make converts for Mr. Daniel M. Fox. A one-armed soldier standing in the crowd saidto him, " you have a hard cheek to ask a soldier to vote for such a candidate. Why, that man is a Copperhead." "You are mistaken, he is a Democrat," re plied the stranger. "He may call himself a Democrat, just like Jeff Davis, but that does not make him one," replied the soldier. The argument now became rather interest ing. The stranger was permitted totalk pret ty freely, but found it up-hill work to make a conversion. Finally , the soldier replied : " Look here, my friend, you'd vote for Jeff Davis if he was on the Democratic ticket, how can you ex pect a true-blue to vote tor a Copperhead. sym pathizer 1 Braver and more noblunen have been shot down in the rebel ranks than, your candidate. Besides this, didn't your candi date insult the soldiersl Didn't he say that the whole community is demoralized since the soldiers came back from the war! Didn't he say this before the convention that nomi nated himl What's the use of trying to get soldiers to vote for such a man! It can't be done!" . . "But he's in favor of the eight-hour system of labor; how do ye like that?" said the sharp er, dodging the question. " Soldiers don't light by the hour; they fight whenever they can get a chance, and when I choose to work at my trade I'll work just as long as it suits me; what's the Mayor got to do with that? Now, you better leave," re sponded the soldier, "or you might get your copperhead flattened out." Warm words ensued, and presently the soldier knocked the stranger down. The lat ter pulled out a pistol, but it was taken away from him before lie bad time to use it. It was captured by the Soldier, and, upon examina tion, 'was found to be fully loaded. The stranger was arrested, and bound over to be of future good behavior and to keep the peace. The soldier kept the other piece, and did not appear against the prisoner. ADVANCE IN Tim: PRICE OF MILL—For aou l e time past milk has been served at the residences of consurnera at the rate of eight cents per quart. Notice has been given that the price for the lacteal fluid will be ten cents per quart on and after Monday, the 10th inst., being an extraordinary advance of twenty per cent. There may be some reason for this ad vance besides the cupidity of the dealers, who have an organization, and can do pretty much as they please without consulting the interests or the pockets of the consumers. The most effectual way to meet the crisis is for the con sumer to purchase twenty per cent. less of the article than usual. Milk, in its pure state, rich with cream, can be purchased at three cents per quart in quantities at the dairies. The cost of transportation on the railroads can be more than made up by the introduction of water, which ie need to a more or less ex tent. Thus it will be seen that on and after next Monday, the milkmen, not the farmers, will realize a clear profit of seven cents per quart. It should be borne in mind that milk at the present time is not a very healthy arti cle of diet, as there seems to be a general ten dency to disease among cattle in this country as well as in -Europe. AX ALDERMAN DECEASED.—AIderMaII Robert T. Carter, of the Third ward, died at his residence, in Queen street, below Third, on Tuesday evening. His funeral will take place to-morrow morning. The remains of the de ceased will be conveyed to Paulshorough, Xew . Jersey. Alderman Carter for many years was an active and honorable politician of the Democratic party. During the administration of ex-President Pierce he was a mail aent be tween Washington and Phiiadelphia. lie pos sessed considerable influence, in his active days, in the Democratic party. The alderman was a great admirer of the political principles of Jeftbrson. and Jacksonand when he found his party . sold, by a few Tory leaders, to the traitors in rebellion, 7 he joined the Union party, with other intelligent Democrats, and so remained up to his death. For several years he was vett" mush itillieted with rhea. matism, under the influence of which his vital energies became prostrated, and, a complica tion of diseases taking place, finally resulted in his death. He possessed many excellent traits of character. lie bore with the racking torture of chronic rheumatism with commend; able fortitude. - ANNOUNCEMENT OF STAFF OFFICERS.— Major GenArg.l A. A.

FRIGATE NEsnAmony.—This magnificent war vessel, of which we published a full description in The 'teas a few days since, was launched yester day at the Philadelphia navy yard. Cards of invitation bad been sent out, and before noon there was a large crowd present. Eifteen hun dred invited guests were on the vessel, and a large number were in the yard and other places where a view might be obtained. At ten minutes after two all was reaily, and at fifteen minutes after two the word was given. Without the least accident the vessel glided down the ways, and, as she entered the ele ment in which she is destined to move, the traditional bottle of wine was broken over her bows by Miss Hull, daughter of Commo dore Hull of the navy yard, who, at the same time, pronounced the name which the vessel is hereafter to bear. A salute was also fired at the same time. The launch was under the superintendence of Naval Constructor Hans com, assisted by Master Carpenter George Much.

AS it commemorates tb eir d eliveranee from a servitude forced upon them by a conquering people, the occasion is one of great joy. Inthe Hebrew language it is termed saket, or booths, and green boughs are suspended in the synagogues and dwellings, to cons aythe idea of their former dwelling in booths.

BOLLE9I)6 ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE, No. 1220 WALNUT Street, For the Treatment of Acute and Chronic Electrical investigation has Tirol/0d that the hu. man 'WII3 acts on the principal of the galvanic bat tery. The brain, mucous and serous membranes, the skin, tissues, and fluids constitute the negative and positive forces. Every action, whether mental or physical, is the result of these antagonistic forces. Digestion, respiration, circulation, secretion and excretion are due solely to Electricals influence. There is a polar action established througliont the nervous system which connects with every part of the body, establishing and preserving a proper balance of the electrical element, which constitutes health, and a disturbance of which causes disease. There are strictly but two conditions of disease— one of inflammation, or pasitive; the other weak, debilitated, negative; and as Electricity contains these two conditions in the action of the positive and negative currents, all we have to dt , Is to neu tralize the disease and restore proper healthy action. We do not wish to convey the impression that we cure all diseases in all conditions. We Cannot cure consumption after the lungs arc all destroyed; yet we do assert, and are prepared to practically demon strate, that hundreds of cases of almost every form of chronic diseases, pronounced incurable by tile best medical practitioners of the country, have been radically CORED, some of them in an incredibly short time, by Our Electrical treatment. Its great superiority over other practice in the cure of dis ease is also attested in the fact that, within the past dye years, over fourfun thousand patients have been treated at this office, suffering from alniost every form and condition of disease common to humanity, and in nearly all cases a benefit or per fect cure has been effected. Palsy, deafness, blind . nese, rheumatism, elyspellgia, cancer, and all the old knotty diseases that are a physician's curse, as it proves his inability to eradicate, are by our scien tific method comparatively easy of cure. Specimens Of tumors of large growth extracted by means of Electricity alone, without pain, without the nil of the knife, ligatures, or any other means, may be seen at our office by those interested. Therefore, with these FACTS to prove our theory and treat ment of dlseafie, we are WEllnK to undertake any of the following diseases, with every hope and pros pect of success, with very many others not here enumerated: 1. Diseases- 0/ the Brain. and Nerrocata SUM, Epilepsy, Chorea, or St. Vitus , Dance, Paralysis alemplegial, Neuralgia, Hysteria, Nervousness, Palpitation of the Heart, Lockjaw. etc. 2. Organs and Tissues connected with the Diges live System.—Sore Throat, Dyspepsia, Diarrhoea, Dysentery Obstinate Constipation, Haimorrhoides, or Piles, Bilious Flatulent, and Painter's Collo, and all affections of the Liver and Spleen. 3. Respiratory Orpans.—Catarrh, Cough, Irian enza, Asthma (When not caused by organic disease of the heart), Bronchitis, Pleurisy, Pleurodynia, or Rheumatism of the Chest, Consumption in the early stages. 4. FibrouS and Muscular System. —Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Stiff Neck, Spinal Curvature, Hip Diseases, Cancers, Tumors. 5. Urinary and Genital Organs.—Grayel, Diabetes, and Kidney Complaints,lmpotence, and Seminal Weakness. The latter complaints never fail to yield rapidly to this treatment. 6. Diseases Peculiar to Females. —Morns Com plaints,. involving a mai-position, as Prolapsus, An tracers/on, Retroversion, Inflammation, Ulcera tion, and various other 'affections of the Womb and Ovaries, Painful, Suppressed, Scanty, of Profile° Menstruation, Lencorrhizea. TO LADIES we can recomend this treatment as one of UNVARIED SUCCESS. Almost innume rable cases leave come under treatment at our office who can testify to this fact. Sirs. BECKWITH has entire charge of the Ladies' Department, and all delicacy will be used towards those who entrust themselves to her care. In female diseases as men tioned In the above list, with others not mentioned, she has had a large enrriener, and can confidently la results. promise lie nnaSt gUiP ti . 'l'o THE .LThe treatment is mild a Lie, producing uo shock or unpleasant sen sation whatever. Our professional intercourse with the afflicted will ever be characterized by perfect candor and honesty - , and those whose complaints are incurable, or do not admit of amelioration, will be frankly told 60 and Act accepted for treat ment. It matters not what may be your cointilaillt, Or how long you may have suffered, or how much, or what course of treatment yon may have been Subjected to, or what disappoint - Meats you may have experienced, if the system is not worn out - if sufficient vitality remains for reaction—there is a fair prospect of recovery.
