.or the day closed with the
wuethlS, and Rom that hour until dark
the °aim:sanity was all agog in reference to
the illaudnation and torchlight proeession.
There was a great demand for flags, torches,
.etandles,, fireworks, eta., and when the shades
'emoting began to close upon the "smoky
city," hundreds and thousands of lights Were
displayed, In every conceivable manner. We
might ill a column in particularising, but suf
fice it to say that the illumination was general
in the business portions of both cities, and
reflected credit upon the spirit and patriotism
of the people. -
The display along Fifth, Wood, Market, St.
Clair, Penn, Liberty and Smithfield streets
was very brilliant, and in some instances ox
ceedlagly attractive.
The -Custom House and Post-Office were
pe the most attrrative owing to the size
and rof the building. It was glit
tering with lights in every story, and on both
fronts; and was beautifully decorated with il
luminated Sags—while from the roof hissing
'rackets and glaring fire-balls were ever and
anon ascending.
The newspaper 'elites 'were also Worthy of
venial mention.. "The Pew wan brilliantly il
luminated from otellar-to garret" and the chant
ing house window displayed a mammoth : "TA. Obertiudiou deft It: TA, Union
At It War." The Dispatch and Chronicle
buildings were also handsomely Illuminated—
and from the former was suspended by the
neck au effigi; with the label--" Floyd, the Can
Thief." • The assetie building was Illuminated
throughout, and in front was the motto_:
" ifashiazoo—the Alger of hie Comity." Re,
White and Bins lights were displayed from the
roof, when there was also a creditable exhibi
llon DIM* works. Indeed, all the offices con
slimed a-. i i),ovrer of powder," and a reveler
bombard:neat. wu keptup between the
CAroa
iclsand:Dispatch boys, and those on the Ga
rear and Custom House roofs, which attracted
an immense crowd.
•• • .
, Time and 'Taco would fail us did we at
tempt to deseribo the displays'at City Hall,
at Concert Hall,:the various hotels, business
heitsea, and private residenc7"s in many of
whibh costly gas fixtures had been fitted up
specially for this-occasion, and the national
colore and appropriate mottoes were exhibited
in, elegant and pleasing variety.
In Allegheny the illumination was highly
creditable, particularly op Fedora and Ohio
streets, The post-office displayed a conspic
uous banner, with the name* of the various
post-offload - established in rebeldom by the
army of the United States. WO would be
pleased to note other striking features, but
must forbear.
xar PROCILSBION.
The torchlight procession, by the firemen,
formed a most attraetive feature of the even
ing. At seven o'clock nearly every bell in
the city commenced to ring, and for fifteen
minutes the merry peals were heard through
out both cities, and was the signal for a "for
ward movement," We need not describe the
assembling of the different companies. The
programme was literally adhered to, and after
the procession bad been formed it , began to
move over the prescribed route, in the follow
ing order
Columbia Hose Company, Allegheny, as
the guest of the Eagle; Eagle, Steamer; Al
legheny, hand apparatus ; Duquesne, Steam
er • Neptune hand apparatus ; Niagara,
Steamer; Vigilant, Steamer; Good Intent,
Independence and Relief, hand engines.
The companies ware under the charge of
their several officers while the procession_
moved under the dire ction of the Chief-Engi
neer of the Fire Department, , Dr. A. G. Mc-
Candless., and his Assistants, mounted. The
firemen wore the regular uniform of the ser
vice, and their apparatiii were decorated with
Gags, tri-colored lights, mottoes, etc. The
mon nearly all carried-torches and all along
the route there was a most brilliant and un
interrupted display of Sr. works. The steam
ers presented a molt beautiful appearance,
and on the whole the procession Ins a grand
success. It was noted that the turn out of
the members was not so large as in former
days, but the lack of numbers was end-ital.&
to the firemen, since nearly one-half of them
have enlisted for the wart It may be proper
here to add that when the procession reached
the corner. of Penn and Wayne streets, the
anticipated rain began to fall, and the route
was cut short by passing up Penn to Hand,
down Hand to Liberty, and down Liberty to
the plate of beginning.

Suicide of Kt Modes
llfelaac~ol fiis a iy,
For 'errors' days put it has been generally
known throughout the city that Mr. Charles
Hipner, variety and tfimining . mind:ant, of
Market street, had attempted to commit eni
elde by shooting himself through the breast
with a revolver, and that he was lying in a;
critical condition at the St. Charles hotel,
where he boarded. The 'painful aircumstan
eta which led to the rash act, and the hope .
that he would reviver from his wound, indu
ced the press not to make the matter public,
but he expired at two o'clock orr Sunday
morning, and with the announcement of his
death it is proper that the facts be given.
Mr. (limier was a young man of fine busi
ness qualifications, was succeeding well in
life, and was very popular among his ac
quaintances. He was exceedingly ardent in
his temperament, however, and having be
come attached to a daughter of a well-known
business man, residing near the city, he press
ed his snit with all the ardor of his nature,
and finally gained the promise of her band.
His courtship developed things not at all
pleasant to her, such as an exceeding jealousy
in regard to ether young men of her acquaint
ance, not growing oat of the• slightest impro
priety or coldness on her part, but from the
peculiar formation of his mind, which grad- L
nally developed itself in monomania. In this
painful situation matters continued for
months,
until he-became rude and threaten
ing towards her intimating that if he could
not have her ba nd in marriage he would 'de
stroy himself. - tinder these distressing cll.-
crunsttneee the young lady naturally hesita
ted about consummating the marriage,Setioh
.only served to agitate him the more.
Early last week he procuredapair of horses
and a buggy, at a livery stable in this city,
and went out to Zellenople, Butler county,
where he was raised, and where he has friends
residing. Here he acted most strangely, ar
ranginglis private papers, and even selecting
the spot where he desired to be buried I While
returning, he broke the tongue of his buggy,
abandoned it on the road, and cane to the
city riding one of the horses and leading the
other. He arrived here on Wednesday, and
upon inquiry learned that his betrothed
would be in the city that evening. He viiiited
the Pennsylvania. Railroad depot, and upon
the arrival of the Accommodation train had an.
interview with the young lady and her mother,
whom hel — ff - comp:flied to the helm of a family
connection of hers. He was very much exci
ted, and evidently laboring ander great-men
tal depression. He was solicited to accompany
the lady and her mother to Jas., Bktr. hint-•
doch'e reading, but declined, and in sisted upon
their being married then and there, intimating
that If she refused he would dest roy himself.
Of course she shrunk- horrified from such a
proposition, andesesped from his premiee by
a subterfuge, fearing violence at his hands.
/dr. Oipner soon after visited his store, and
in the presence of his brother and the clerk
took off hie coat and-vest, passed his watch to
his brother, remarking, "here is something to
remember meby," and going behind the coun
ter deliberately drew a revolver and placed it
over his heart. In an instant his hand was
struck away from his breast, by the clerk, but
the trigger had been pulled, andtthe ball en
tered his arm. Determined on eelf-destruo
tion, be fired again before he could be pre
vented, the ball entering the left breast near
the nipple, and penetrating the lung. He was
conveyed to the hotel, where be lingered in
great pain until Sinday morning, when he
expired.
We need not dwell further upon this terri
ble tragedy, which hu'plunged the young
lady In deep distress, and has caused intense
pain to the friends of both parties. Being
entirely guilder - a, the unfertenate girl receives
the heart-felt sympathy.of all, yet she cannot
but realise the keenest anguish of mind:
The funeral announcement - will be-found in

contemplate the presentation of flags, and he
therefore moved that thtt be omitted as a part
of the ceremonies.
Mr. Lovejohof Illinois. supposed from the
general tenor of Mr. Crittenden's remarks
heretofore, that he woul.l not'oppose what any
military man desired, and-this flag presenta
tion had been arranged by the War Depart
ment.
Mi. Dawes, of MIMI, inquired how the
flags could bepresented If Canvass will not
take them. He did not propos. to magnify,
the rebel liege in this - sway, and hoped that
they would respeatfulkt. decline to receive
them.
Mr. Campbell, of Pa.., said that the.. were
trophies won by oar °Seers and braveeoldiers
in hotly contested battles. He would not
magnify the flags, but7arould magnify the .
deeds of our armies, and trusted that these
badges or nage would !Om:mired with re—
spect. 40*.
Mr. Roscoe Conkling,...Of Haw Yotk,
re
marked that these fags ware not trophies, to
be treated either with respect, or the conside
ration of our Government. He submitted
that they are badgei tokens carried by
armed rebels, men red handed with the mur
der of citizens of their country, who are not
entitled to pones, or carry , any flags, and
whom we do not nuptials in any National
aspect. Suppose there bi)d• occurred here a,
riot of formidable dimentisins, and the ;mini-;
cipal authorities had stioeitokd In qtiellinglt,'
and that at a meeting of ilir:Common Coun
cils it Should be proposed_ •• public as
semblage be called to r the or to
kens of the conspirators, id any one suppose:
that the could be received withself-respect
public decency ? If noti '• why should Con
gnu incept the presentation of these flags,:
nothing more than tokens coming simply
from rebels of no National . standing? He
would go , as far as any 'other gentleman in
this house, or out, in his respect and admire-
Clearer those who have left their homes to
sustain, on distant battle Sells, the existence
of this Government--but be wished, on this
occasion, to act Ih a manner consistent.
with self-respect and official - propriety.
Mr. Campbell presuming that his previous
remarks had been misunderstood, explained
that he would receive then flags and tokens
in rapped to the bravery dour troops.
Mr. Lovejoy caused to be read the law of
1714 and ISIS, to the abet,. that the Secreta
ries of- the War and Navy be directed to
cease to be collected and transmitted to them,
all flags, • banners and colors which maj-have
been, er shall be taken hereafter by the army
and navy from the enemy, and that all of
them, together with those in the possession
of those Departments, shall, with &Snouts
tent dispatch, be delivered to the President,
for the purpose 'of Waif displayed in such
public pieces MI may be deemed proper.
Mr. Lovejoy said that the law, that by re
ceiving these flags we would - recognise the
rebel government, wu the most absurd idea
that ever originated ha the brain of man. He
was willing to receive every rebel flag, the
more the better, in respect to the brave men
who captured them.
Mr. Edwards, of N. H. expressed himself
In favor of carrying out the arrangement for
the presentation of the flags.
Mr. Potter, of Wis. in apparent seriatim:less,
rose to a question o f order : It was that the
gentleman was speaking with his - back to the
Chair. [Laughter.] ' -
Mr. Edwards, smiling, said, I did not wish
to tarn my back to the ladies. (Laughter.)
He would receive the flogs in honor of our
gallant soldiers.
The Speaker appealed to the galleries on an
occasion like this to preserve order, to refrain
from applause and to observe due propriety.
Mr. Richardson--The gilleries are behav
. rag better than we ere. .
The question Wastaken - On the liclopticui cf
Mr. Crittenden's motion, and resulted in
yeas 70; nays 61.
Mr. Crittenden moved that the vote be re
considered and that the motion be laid oh the
table.
Mr. Hickman moved a call of the House,
but while engaged in this proceeding the hour
arrived for theceremonies.
The centre deer was thrown open and the
Vice President and Secretary of the Senate
appeared preceded by the Sergeant-at-Artne,
followed by the senators. Thee* occupied the
front seat. Next came the several head, of
the departmenti who were accommodated
with chairs on the right of the hall.. In the
first range were the Chief Justice and Juseed
. ate Justices of the Supreme Court and repre
sentatives of - foreign governments. Lord
Lyons was not present. Officers of the army
and navy in hill uniform . were also present.
Major-General McClellan-.was-among the oiS
cum of the army, and on his entrance there
was repeated applause from the galleries. The
members of the House remained standing until
the guests on the floor were seated. The
scene was • most brilliant one. '
S LSAT C.—The Senate met at 19 o'clock. The
journal of yesterday was read. The Vice
President presented a communication, signed
by the members of tke Cabinet, recommend
ing that in view of the recent affliction of
the President the illumination be omitted.
Mr. Hale, of N. H., offered a resolution re
questing the Commissioner of Public Build-
Inge to omit the illumination. Adopted.
Mr. Wilson, of Mass., from the Military
Committee, reported back the bill for the bet- .
ter organizati o n. of a medical staff. Alect_i

The Senate then took . a recess for half an

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—A1l the federal and
corporation offices are dosed, as *di as most
of the business houses. There was a continu

camps in honor-of the day. The hall of the
Reuse of. Representatives, being the great
(antra of attraction, as early as half past nine
o'cloeir the gallerine set apart for the public
were densely crowded, while the doors leading
thereto were blocked with standing occupants.
The portion' of the galleries reserved for the
families of the Diplomatic Corps, and those of
other invited spectators, and of-members of

their convenience . . Tickets had been issued
to them, and in order to avoid , confu

floor of the hall to seat, !bout 600 persons.
Immediately over the Speaker's. chair was a
law painting of Washington, surmounted by
a gilt eagle ' &e. Over 'this a golden starred
American fl ag, while front each of the upper
corners of the painting hung banners of a
smaller pattern. Crowds 'continue to pene
trate the capitol, and mazy persons Cr. unable
to obtain admission. .
The inters - al between 11 and 1 o'clook was
relieved , by scenes in the galleries. Some of
the door occupants would loudly and implor
ingly,-.oall to atheist Who were crowding behind
not tiprecipitate them on the heads of those
aomfortably.and.sinsienely seated below them:
Oooaaionally • boy would be lifted over the
heads of the spectators to a seat in front, amid
the laughter of the ersietatori; living subjeds
usurped the various niches designed alone for
inanimate statuary. Members of the House
occasionally entered the ball and took their
sesta. Impatient cries continued to be utter
ed in the galleries for the crowds at the door
to fall back, and calls for the police frequent
ly resounded, but met with no response.

WASHINGTON CITY, , Feb. 23.--Dispatches
have been received from ComModore Dupont,
dated Port Royal, Feb. 18, enclosinga report
from Commander Hegira, in ,which,. he says
that while cruising in the Savannah river,a: ,
short distance • above the month of Wright 1
river. He discovered several objects', oatticil
upon' the surface of the water
,which - peered
at tint eight to. be empty alum, and each I
a l e
_were not regarded by him as worthy o notice.:
Lieut. Sprotson, of. the'
• Senece, , she -after
hailed him and told him that - hethon t the"
r its
objects alluded to - were buoys : attach to an
infernal machine. Upon closer examination, '
they saw enough to satisfy them that the sus- I
pistons 'were correct. • The ,- buoys,. Hie in
number, were placed several yards apart; at
right angles.to the:shore, immediately.= the I
channel leading from Wright river, and visi..!
his only at low water. They' were connected
by r spiral wire, the end of the wire' entering
an orifice in the upperen of the buoys. They
were also secured by w sto wiuit they p ee _ I
II
framed to be weights ' the-bottom, but which .
upon further examination led them to believe'
were vessels containing explosive matter. An
attempt was etibsegnentli made - to . produce an
.explosion .by pulling the wires,.whicb. failed.
The wires were then out, and the outer btioy
was brought off in one of the expedition's light
boats. 'ln consequence Of the, delicate nature
of the exploding apparatus .of - the - buoy
brought on _board, it was deemed more ,pzu-:
dent to endeavor to sink the remaining buoys
rather than to attempt to remove them so
that the enemy wonid not have the satisfac
tion of feeling that a single life hid been lost ,
by the diabolical invention. •The" buoys were
sunk by
_firing rifle shots into them, one .
having explortiktthe night previous from some
cause unknown, and shortly after a' launch
had passed over the spot where the biroys hare'
pieced, having in tow a heavy lighter , With :
gnat'. It further appears that the. torpedo or
infernal machine brought on -board the Una
dilla, was afterwards set upon a bank and a
rifle bail fired through it, when it exploded. -
Assistant Secretary Pox hal received a let-'
ter from a friend in New York, saying' that
the statement of the Richmond papers that'
.15,000 stand of arms, which arrived at New
Orleans on the steamer Victoria, which re
cently ran the blockade to that point, is not •
true. A reliable passenger who came out from
New Orleans td Havana on the Victoria, says
that she was able to obtain there only 150
guns, and these were all the arms she took
back on her return. The New Orleans militia
are dot yet, therefore, supplied with arms.
The recent paragraph in this correspond
ence with regard to. recent disclosures, exhon
orating Marshal Lemon from certain charges
in connection with the jail, had no reference'
to the testimony,giren before the SenateCom
mitt.. on the District of Columbia, and which
will not be'made public until all the evidence
shell be taken.' The informition'was derived
from other sources, the correctness of which;
like that of many other things,is controverted:
The bill recently unanimously reported
from the House Committee on Naval Affairs
to establish the grade of line officers of the
Navy, propose important changes, one of
which is to create nine flag officers, or adult
rali, to be selected below the grade of com
manders, who shall have eiidence of their
courge, skill and genius lit'preparing for and
in .actual battle, and received the thanks of
Congress as a preliminary to promotion, the
leading principle being to select such - officers
irrespective of seniority. The other features
of the bill offer encouragement to merit.
