to tho benefit of the families of our gallant 'Vo
lunteers. The gentlemen who have undertak
en the management of the affair have had
sisiderahle experience in each matters, and
doubt nut will get up something decidedly

whablee, music for dancing, and any plan
of other things provided for the amuse

1,1 CArrsm,,of the Third street Presbyterian
1.1,, preached a most powerful and eloquent
- 1„,,t, Sunday morning, bis theme being the
the country and the duty of his cow
, rL in this the hour of their peril. He
clearly that no man fully discharged his
in this crisis, unless he made some seed
- A r•actilice of time, of labor, of service,
we and of life, was the highest evidence
ttrieti6m. These sacrifices must be made
',tinily. They must be made speedily, or
tL, edotu would be pronounced a . failure by
, vernments of the world. They must be
in a Christian spirit, for sacrifices made
than in that spirit, failed of their object—
of God's approval, and consequently failed
tier. The sacrifice of those who were
the army, were strongly alluded to by
verend orator. He was not willing to
t Me pecuniary aid which only shared the
011 g munificence of a man, as patriotic.
which was worthy to be thus regarded,
• the EaCl lace which put a man to some in
,. Ilience—was the giving up of luxuries, the
• ling of pleasures, the retrenchment of
•agance, and the adoption of strict econo•
.0,11 actual deprivation, In order that the
cause might be aided, and the country
etcued from rebellion. This was patriot
-4t of the army—and those only who thus
iv i the general cause ware doing their duty.
4..1 w4l may they do their duty, for withouta
utuent—this Heaven-blessed and Heaven
iEret,ted government, which guarantees liberty
to ?al men acknowledging Its sway--without this
goverututut, to guard our rights, protect our
property, and encourage personal interests to
success, without such a power we would all be
come slaves. Let loyal men remember this
and begin to make their sacrifices. Let wealth
unloose its purse strings, and pour out its MO
racence in aid of victory. Let us make our
isernices before the throne of God, that the
altar of liberty may not be dug down and ut
telly destroyed.
Her. Cedell has heretofore preached some
exceedingly powerful sermons, but his effort
of en Sunday is pronounced by all who were
present at its delivery to have been a produc
tion at once abounding in fervid eloquence,
stirring appeal, and practical common sense
suggestions of duty and patriotism. He un
doubtedly has the approval of God for his efforts
in behalf of his bleeding country and imperilled
freedom ; and his conduct, thus noble in all re
epode, deserves the commendation and respect
of every man in this community.
We understand that a numbe r of our citizens
are about to request Mr. Cattell to repeat the
sermon on such occasion as he may himself in
dicate,
ARRESTED.-0. Barrett and Thomas C. Mac-
Dowell were arrested yesterday on the charge
of libel, and bound over to appear at the next
Court of Quarter Sessions in the sum of five
thousand dollars. General Boundort appeared
for them as surety. U. J. Jones was also ar
rested and held to bail on a charge of writing
libellous articles for Barrett &
Tits Pro-Nto of the Citizen Fire Company
comes off at Haehlen'a woods to-day, and
from what we know of the managers,and their
arrangements, we can safely say it will be one
of the most delightful parties of the season.—
Every accommodation will be afforded visitors
to pass the day in a round of continued enjoy
ment, in the way of choice edibles and drinka
bles, ropes for "Copenhagen," swings, and last,
though by no means the least important, a fine
string band for worshippers at the shrine of
the nimble-footed goddess Terspbichore. The
utmost precaution has been taken to preserve or
deion the grounds. Oranibusses will run every
fifteen minutes from Omit's State Capitol Hotel
and Frisch's International Hotel.
Rosa FOR CENTB.—In Philadelphia the diffi
culty among small shopkeepers, provision deal
ers in the markets, and the citizens generally
in making change, has caused an extraordina
ry demand for cents, and all that can be coined
at the Mint are eagerly bought The Ledger of
that city says that recently on one of the days
assigned for the exchange at the Mint of nick
lea for United States Treasury Notes, the doors
were besieged with an anxious crowd before
seven o'clock, and by twelve o'clock, the hour
net apart to commence the exchange, there
were several hundred persons present, men,
women and boys. Lines were formed of the
men and boys on one side of the building, and
of the women on the other, the former extend
ing half a square along Juniper street. Many
of the boys were provided with Niel baskets
to carry the cents in. To preserve order a posse
of the reserve police were in attendance, but
their services were not required. Though many
of those who desired cents stood i n line for
hours waiting an opportunity to get into the
Mint, they had to go home without them, as
the supply on hand was exhausted before half
of the applicants were accommodated. We
understand that two thousand dollars' worth of
cents are coined daily at the Mint, making
twelve thousand dollars' worth a week. About
two-thirds of the coinage goes to New York,
Boston, and other cities, leaving but four thou
sand dollars' worth a week for distribution in
Philadelphia. But five dollars' worth are given
to each applicant at the Mint, but it is said
that boys are employed to stand in line, and by
this means raise a large amount in cents.
Tilg CURRENCY QUESTION.—BeIow we present
a correct copy of the bill passed during the last
day of Congress, from which it will be observed
that our business community may expect re
lief in a short period and that an abundance
of small change will he forthcoming. Here is
the bill:
AN ACT to authorize payments in stamps and
to prohibit circulation of notes of less de-
nomination than one dollar
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States of America in Congress
assembled, That the Secretary of the Treasury
be and he is hereby directed to furnish the As
sistant Treasurers and such designated deposi
tories of the United btates tus may„bet,by,,lLlut
selected, in such sums as he may deem expe
dient, the postage and other stamps of the
United States, to be exchanged by them, on
application, for United States notes ; and from
and after the first day of August next such
stamps shall be receivable in payment of all
dues to the United States less than five dollars
and shall be received in exchange for United
States notes when presented to any Assistant
Treasurer or any designated depository se
lected as aforesaid in sums not less than five
dollars.
Sao. 2. And be it further enacted, That from
and after the first day of August, eighteen
hundred and.sixty-two, no private corporation,
bankiog assodation, firm, or individual shall
make, issue, circulate, or pay any note, check,
memorandum, token, or other obligation, for
a less sum than one dollar, intended to circu
late as money or to be received or used . in lien
of lawful money of the United States ; and
every person so offending shall, on conviction
thereof in any district or circuit court of the
United States, be punished by fine not exceed
ing five hundred dollars, or by both, at the op
tion of the court.
Approved, July 17, 1862.

WHO is HlP—While standing on the plat
form at the Penna., Railroad depot, last Friday
mooing, my attention was called to a group of
men near me, discussing the war question.—
There stood a specimen of the genus home, "gag
ing" away at a 2:40 rate, endeavoring to make
several loyal men (his auditors) believe that
in less than six months time the " Southern
Confederacy," would be recognized—Jeff & Co.,
would pay hp us IsTortheners for our valor
and determined opposition, " to the rebellion,"
&c., and the impudent rebel sympathizer even
offered to wager a month's wages that It must
be so; when a well known loyal citizen came
up to the mark and said, "out with your mo
ney, lad, put down six month's wages if you
dare
Swett wilted a degree or two—said he "hadn't
money about him, (ditto in the article of
brains, observed a bystander,) but that he
would raise the funds on pay-day." Our Union
friend commenced to handle the ape pretty
roughly, and he "slid." If the pimp above
referred to would have used the same traitorous
language in the much-talked-of secesh city of
Baltimore, the first Union man present would
have damaged his countenance, sure as fate.—
The fellow is easily recognized ; he wears a
checkered cap, not quite large enough for a
performing monkey—has a slight sprinkling
of eat fur on his upper lip, and in other
respects looks tolerably genteel. His impu
dence and audacity,however, will sooner or later
lead him into trouble. Wonder why such a
chivalrous buck:is not better eMployedt It would
be far more consistent and honorable to join
rebel band of cut throats or guerillas engaged
in the unholy cause of attempting to destroy
our glorious country, than to bold a position
given him by a loyal railroad company, where
public and private interests, together with all
other loyal citizens affairs, he would no doubt
be ready and willing to betray into the hands
of enemies of our common country. Let him
be arrested at the first opportunity for treason
able conduct. He is not fit to walk the streets
of so large folly as Harriabtug. Usiosur.

CRIMINAL Nromer.—Tbis . morning a little
barefooted boy, whose name we could not
learn, while passing the corner of "Third and
Market streets, at Leatny's store, accidently
got his foot between two pieces of a broken flag
stone, which caused him to trip violently to
the ground, spraining his ankle and Inflicting
several s..vere cuts on his head. He was picked
up by some of the bystanders and taken,
his residence. This corner has been singularly
neelected by the supervisor of the district In
which it is situated, and we hope that this ac
cident will be the means of hurrying him up to
his duty in the premises,
OND Goon WAY.—The New York 2imei
~ ,
"The editor of this piper was waited upon
on Saturday by a gentleman desiring to have
his attention directed tto Setae recruiting officer
whose honesty And energy, could. be omerly
warranted. fre'enly needed to•hoielb E se qual
ities verified to justify himself in placing $3OO
in the hands of the officer, to be used in pro-.
curing recruits for the Union army.- It was
our good fortune to be able to point out a per
fectly safe trustee of this patriotic charity, and.
it will at once do its benacial work:" • '
In many places, if not, all, this example
might be copied toadiantage. Now and then
there is a recruiting officer so exaactly 'fitted
for the business, at a given sum in his hands
would be more effective than twice or three
times the amount laid out by any oidioary
committee or municipal officer. There are
many ways of expending money for procuring
recruits which will commend themselves to
the wise and prudent, and none can be pointed
out for general employment to the eialusion of
others. It is well for every one, to think over
in what method he eau give his money to the
best advantage, but he ought not to think:too
long, for any way is better than that.' • •
ABSENT SOLDIEIL—The following circular
comes from the Headquarters of the Army of
the Potomac, and is supposed to be sanctioned
by Gen. McClellan. It should have a wide
circulation, and the sentiment of the country
energetically brought to the aid of the •pril•-
pose of shaming these stragglers back to their
posts
HAMMON'S LANDING, Va., July 10.'
The shameful desertion of officers and men
from the ranks of their regiments, which has
been goingort since the battle of Williamsburg,
and which has more than decimated the army
within the last fortnight, and should receive
notice at the hands of the press. The • press
can do no better service to the military inter
este of the nation than to persevere in attack
ing men absent under pretense of Sickness.
Robust and slightly wouktded officers and 'men
are parading the streets of cities or loitering
at home, who are absent without leftve, and
who are needed here. Make it detestable for
any man able to do duty tO be away froni"the
army. Hold him, up to the public. view. Let
him be shamed to his dttty.
In the recent battles and movements, hordes
of stragglers rushed to the hospital boats • and
escaped from the army, while thousturds wbci
could not get on the boats were only compelled'
to return to the ranks of their regiments - by
provost guards and .by.hunger. Make a resi
dence at home diegractful to these deserters.
The local police should arrest every man im
properly absent from his regiment.
The writer of this ca ,not give his name—
the communication is anonymous—but the
press can ascertain how far what is here said is
true, by looking around and seeing the num
bers of returned officers ann soldiers who are
in every street, in every city, in every lane and
in every village of the North. If every
officer and soldier fit for duty •would onaurso
from Lis hiding-place, and come to his regil4.
ment, the army would , be much strengthened;
and the Cause for which we struggle materially'
served.
ADMISSION op PATIENTS TO THE INSANE Men-
TAL.—To avoid trouble and difficulty which
may arise from ignorance or misappreh ension `
relative to the admisaion of patients into the
Pennsylvania State Lunatic Hospital at Harris
burg, it has been deemed advisable to give the
following extracts from the by-laws of the hos.'
pital:
These provisions will be strictly enforced,
and it is hoped that all who have occasion
to bring patients to the hospital will be pre
pared to comply fully with the spirit and letter
of the regulations:
"Preparatory to the admission of a patient,
(unless when committed by order of a court,)
the Superintendent shall be furnished with the
certificate of a physician that he has seen and
examined the individual and belieires him or
her to be insane, with a request from a near
relative or friend, that the patient: may .be riv.
ceived into the hospital, and a bond, with sat
isfactory security for the payment of board an
other expenses while in the institution. , AII
private patients thus received shall make a
payment of thirteen weeks' board id iv:Nance
when brought to the hospital, and if taken
away uncured and against the advice and , can
sent of the Superintendent within that tietiod,
no part of said payment shall be refunded.. •
"Whenever a patient is sent to the hosrittal
the order of any court, justice ,judge, pliectork
of the Poor of a county, or the , ovarseers'6Me
poor of a township or poor district; t' Order 6r
warrant, or a copy thereof, by which suckti . erz
eon is sent shall be lodged with this Stiperm
tendent. • • '
"Those who may bring a patient with
,arit
such order or warrant will be required to pay at
the time of the admission of the patient,Vaty
five dollars.
"A written history of the case should - be
sent with the patient, and, ,if possible; sbme,
one acquainted with the individual. should . a 077
company him to the hospital,: fiona Mune.

at any time on compliance ivitlithe ' regula

ity of the entrees in the respective classes, or
the ages of the horses as recorded in the en
tries. will apply to the Recording Secretary for
information, and should there be any doubt,
after examination, of their coming within the
regulations, or if any horse is of such a charac
ter as not to be entitled to exhibition in corn
,petition, they will report the facts for the con
sideration of the Board of Managers, that
such course may be adopted as the case may re
quire.
