United States Troops.
Under late orders from headquarters
the various detachments of troops station
ed at different points in the west and
north are steadily being concentrated at
such places as will .make them readily
available whenever they may be required.
This is all right, and is a refreshing evi
dence of returning sanity in the Admin
istration. The secession epidemic has
seized a few of the officers from rebel.
States, and they have resigned their com
missions but the great mass of the army,
and also of the navy, remain honorably
true to their flag, and to the Union. The
rabble now gathered at Charleston would
make a poor 'show against the veteran
troops who constitute our small but effi
cient army.
WHITE WORKINGMEN are asked to
countenance slavery because it is a spe
cies of labor which does not come in con
flict with their interests, being almost ex
clusively confined to the production of
sugar, rice and cotton. Strangely enough,
however, we find that the chivalry are
much exercised for fear Lincoln's adminis
tration will discourage slavery in the navy
yards and forts; and demand, as one of
their concessions, that the institution shall
not be interfered with in this respect.—
White laborers may not be able to suc
cessfully cultivate cotton under a tropical
sun, but it is not pretended that there is
any portion of the United States where
the white mechanic cannot labor at his
craft. Hence, for the sake of the me
chanic, we hope to see slave labor driven
from the public works, and tolerated only
where it does not come in conflict with
the free American working-men.

any source. This company is composed
of young men who have for some months
past been under the instruction of Colo

to be fully equal to the genuine original
Zouaves. They number sixty men, and
they have resolved to witness the inaugu

We have no idea however

concludes as follOwEr:
"In this conjuncture; when treason has been
bold enough to seize the prOperty of the Union,to

ever whim and caprice may lead disappointed
and bad men to raise their hands against our
Union and our liberties,—for liberty and Union
I consider inseparable. If all other journals,
instead of equivocating or lending aid and

does, to walk abroad, undisguised in open day,

IRON BRIDGE FOR THE PENNSYLVANIA, RAIL
ROAD.--An iron bridge,on the Murphy-Whipple
plan, for the Pennsylvania Railroad, h about
to be erected over the river at Middletown. It
is a one hundred and eighteen feet span, hav
ing three trusses proportioned to carry six
thousmd pounds per lineal foot, maximum
load. This elegant iron struaure is to supply
the place of a wooden one erected five or six
years ago.
GAMBLING HOUSE.B.-At the present term of.
Court Samuel Knox, Levi G. Haber, Philo C.
Sedgwick, and several others, were indicted for
keeping gambling houses The grand jury re
turned true bills, but the cases were continued
until next term. Several sporting individuals
are under bonds to appear as witnesses, and
should the cases ever come to trial—which is
exceedingly doubtful judging from past, pro
ceedings;--some rich developments may be an
ticipated.
MEETING OF WOBKLNGUEN.-A MESS meeting
of the working men of our city will be held in
the Court House this evening, to give public
expression to their sentiments on the present
state of national affairs. We hope and trust
the workingmen will manage this meeting
themselves, and ignore all political demagogues
who may be desirous of participating in thede
moostration for selfish purposes. The mechan
ics of this city are competent to write their
own resolutions and make their own speeches,
and we hope they will do so.
HOTEL BOBBEHY.—On Monday night some
scamp entered the room of Speaker Davis, in
the Jones House, while that gentleman was
indulking jo "tired nature's sweet restorer,"
and relieved him of forty or Rif, dollars in
money and a Railroad pass. The noiturnal
visitor entered by means of a skeleton key;
rifted the pockets of Mr Davis without dis
turbing him, and effected a safe retreat. The
thief was evidently well acquainted with the
piemises, and the probability is that,lf unde
tected, he will pay a similar visit to the rooms
of other gentlemen.
FASHIONABLY. EXTRANAGANOS.--A. large por
tion of those who. complain of hard times are
such as have gone beyond their means, and run
in debt to keep up appearances. We have
known families that were poor, and found it
hard work to supply their necessary wants, run
in debt for mourning garments for all in the
family, when a relative died—not because a
doleful, horrible,black dress was necessary, but
because it was fashionale on such occasions.—
When people bound their desires by their real
v.ecvmany will live much cheaper than
he land. It
the the harrassing
jt seeks Tow-to MCA It
cares that extravagance woiffillin.
A SWARM OF VAuaAave.—The lock-up was
full to overflowing last night, containing twen •
-
ty-one miserable specimens of humanity, old
and young, black and white, "without local
habitations," who were found lying around
loose, by the Chief of Police, during a noctur
nal official tour. Most of them were straggling
vagrants, without work and destitute of meting.
to procure
.food or lodging. Before uncaging
these guests of the city this morning, the Chief
supplied them with bread and hot coffee,an act
of benevolence which all of them seemed to
appreciate. Among the party was a female,
who went to prison for want of accommoda
tions in the lock-up. We have never witness
ed such a numerous and motley crowd before
the Mayor since his inauguration. Our city
now swarms with vagrants, two-thirds of whom
come from other places, and are provided for
at the expense of our industrious and sober
tax payers.
enema ov Wlrrexv.—There are certain acts
of meanness and wickedness of which human
nature, unaided, is incapable. They are acts
we are accustomed to stigmatize as brutal, and
yet which brutes rarely, if ever, disgrace them
selves by perpetrating. Were it not for the
damning potency of one thing—whisky—those
acts would have no existence, or would be mys
terious and inexplicable, 4s it is, when a hus
band ruffianly maltreats his wife, and a parent
nut-demonsa devil towards his child,the horror
excites no surprise, for everybody can explain
it. The other day we published the particu
lars of a brutal outrage perpetrated by a man
named Sulleuberger upon his wife, who was obli
ged to seek shelter and protection in a neigh
bor's dwelling Last night a similar outrage
was committed by a man who moves in respect
able circles—and is A ILAN when free from the
maddening influence of drugged liquor. He
insulted and abused his wife, cruelly beat his
children, and created such, a disturbance as to
require the intervention of neighbors, who
insisted upon taking him to the lock-up, and
would have done so but for the earnest entreat
ies of the much-injured but rprgiving wife.
Seenes of this kind are of frequent occurrence
now-i-days, as is - denionstrated by the daily.
complaints made by abused and suffering wo
men before ourvarious magistrates. •

REPORT OF THE GRAND MAY
The Grand Inquest of the countY;for the pre
sent term,Tstso. Farm, Esq., of this city, acting
as Foreman, concluded their labors yesterday,
when they submitted a report;embodying some
excellent suggestions, with a strong appeal for
the restriction of the liquor traffi c,to which is at
tributed much of the demoralization and crime
which abound in our community. The report
is as follows :
2b the Honorable the Judges of tho Court of Quarter
Sessions and General fail Delivery of the county
of Dauphin.
The Grand Inquest, inquiring for the county
aforesaid report: That they have acted upon all
the bills and matters that have been brought
before them. That the numl' 4of petty offences
has been unwell' , lero•-- , S.A: o c't an increase of
crimes of that kind.vr a Thifilkit,:viber of these
, a 4c. ro s efreerrial it . :k.,.._ no ;4:,,u.w ii ,mpertite use
of intOxicating drinks which abcnint'im tp. r '
of our 'county ; an evil, the remedy for which
lies in public opinion and the enforcement of
the laws enacted to protect the pnblio morals.
They would therefore call the attention of all
public officers and all good private citizens to
an alarming evil—the violation of the law
prohibiting the selling of liquor to minors. It
is believed that in all parte of our county mi
nors can and do obtain intoxicating liquors
from retailers of some kind, and thereby be
come initiated into a habit calculated to de
stroy their usefuidesS and happineds forever
and to make worthless members of society of
those who otherwise might become its pillars
and its ornaments. As the hopes of our country
rest upon the young, all parents, guardians,
and citizens,are called upon as a duty they owe
to themselves and to society, to ferret out and
prosecute to Runishment, all evil disposed per
sons who, in violation of law and in disregard
of the welfare of society, furniSh intoxicating
liquors to minors.
'limy have also visited the County Prison,
conversed with the prisoners,and examined the
cells, and report that they found every thing
in proper order, so far as it is in the power of
the Keeper and Inspectors to have it so. They
found, however, that there were too few cells
for the inmates. In some instances two and
three prisoners were confined in one celL By
this means the object and intention of the
present prison discipline, and the law requiring
solitary confinement,are frustrated. We there
fore'recommend that additional cells be erected
so as. to enable the Keeper and Inspectors to
carry out the objects and requirements of this
law.
They would also add, that in the perform
ante of their duties they have been ably in
structed and aided by the learned Judges and
the Prosecuting Attorney.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
THEO. FENN, Foreman.
OASES CONTINUED.
In the following cases the Grand Jury found
true bills, but owing to the absence of wit
nesses, and other causes, they were continued
until the next term. Corn. vs. Geo. Weaver,
fornication and bastardy. Corn. vs. Sarn'l
Knox and Levi G. Huber, keeping a gambling
house. Com. vs. Wm. Carr, fornication and
bastardy. Com. vs. Daniel Miller, fornica
tian and bastardy. Com. vs. Geo. B. Cole,
false pretence. Coin. vs. Isaiah Baptist, for
nication and bastardy. Corn. vs. Benj. F. Erin
berger, fornication and bastardy. Corn. vs.
Fanny Gish, Eliza Foster, Elizabeth Jones, Ca
tharine Alen , and Mary Mann,
for keeping
bawdy houses. Com. ye.. Wm. Cooper, Philo
C. Sedgwick and others, keeping a gambling
house. Corn. vs. John Preston, assault and
battery.
A CITIZIEN" 13 informed that we publish no
. ,
anonymous cominunications.
JUVENILE VAGBANT.3.-A Colored lad, whose
parents reside in the sixth ward, was picked up
last night in a freezing condition, by the Chief
of Police, and placed in the lock-up, where be
still remains. For some time past he has led a
vagrant life, and is evidently an incorrigible
rowdy, past all hope of reformation.
A Dummy Wow -the most disgustiag
spectacle one can witness—was found lying
around loose at late hour last night. She an
swered to the name of Eliza Carrigan, and was
excessively inebriated. The Chief of Police
provided her with quarters in the: Walnut
street reformatory institution. The fellows
will sell liquor -to women and make them
drunk, would do almost anythij for money.
NEWAPAPER CHANGE.—We hear rumors to the
effect that a change of proprietorship is about to
takeplace in the State Sentinel newspaper, Kr.
Hineline to be succeeded by Wm. B. Sipes,
formerly of this city, and at one time associate
editor of the. -Patriot published by Andrew
Hopkins, Esq. The arrangement goes into ef
fect nest week, when the Sentinel will be con
verted into a semi-weekly paper.
1=7:1=1
AN ArAnamA Porrisi has written some stuff
in short measure, which she calls “Alabama's
Battle Cry." We have only room for one line,
which is as follows
~s termy meet the advancing foe."
Perhapa that's as pod a way as any to meet
the advancing foe, but why not secede like a
man, and not .like a crab?
P1:157INO Tapa.Taaoucar.,—The keepers of se
veral:houses of prostitution were recently re
turned by officer Lewis,. and are now under
bail to appear at, the April:term of Cdfirt. Oth
ers, fearing similar treatment, fled the city.—
Those who profess to know, say that therkare
not less than forty or fifty of these " institu
tions" within the City limita s some of them lo
cated on prominent and fashionable thorough-
fares, and patronized' by men of families mo
ving in "upper ten circles.
WENT TO THE POOR House.—The young lad
Boylan, who has been in the lock•np for seve
ral days, (baying been abondoned. by his pa
rents), arid another juvenile vagrant, named
Wm. Pike, were this morning taken.to the
poor house by the Chief of Police, on .atrouter
issued by the Mayor. The ptobability is that
the mother of the first named lad will be sent
to the same institution, being unable to provide
for herself.
PIETY AND Pexatolrox.- : -A singular scene was
enacted on Sunday evening last in the Green
street Methodist Church, Philadelphia, of which
Rev. Dr. BARIUM, formerlY of this city, is the
popular pastor. The regular annual collection
in aid of the funds of the Missionary Society
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was being
taken up, and a number of the prominent
members of the church had been elected life
members, the amount necessary. for that pur
pose having been subscribed. Finally a gen
tlemen arose in the gallery, and after speaking
of the proper association of piety and patriot
ism, he stated that the members of the choir
contributed twenty dollars for the purpose of
making the gallant Major Alumna' a life mem
of the Missionary Society. This announce
hadpot subsid
ed when the same gen - tilinen a, moste
mart cause
stated that the ladies of the choir desired to
contribute twenty dollars to make Mrs. Major
ANDERSON a member of the Society. He after
wards slated that the choir would give a like
amount to make Genl. WiNFIELD Soon a life
member, and subsequently he said that as Mr.
BUCHANAN had lately given evidence of E - die
position to do his duty to the Constitution and
the Union, they would also contribute the
amount necessary to create him a life member.
The_ feeling that started in the choir now ere
tended to the body of the church. One lady
began a subscription to make Governor Mors.
of Maryland, a life member; another contribu .
ted towards the amount necessary to make
President ',mom a member; and a gentleman
in the congregation proposed the same compli
ment to Hon. Mr. STEPHENS, of Georgia. The
secession, spirit was at a dead discount among
the congregation, for there was not a dissent
ing voice to theee unusual proceedings.
WHITE HALL RESTAIIIIAPT.—Lovers of good
oysters will find this the place to obtain their.
The rooms have been entirely refitted, and ev
erything is kept clean and in order. Call and
