The members of this body, who held so successful and interesting a meeting at the Second Presbyterian Church on Mon day evening, went yesterday to Washing ton, with the intention of holding a meet ing there last evening. We hope it was a success. Our neighbor of the Gazette seems much dissatisfied with a remark in our re port of the proceedings on Monday even ing, which we thought very innocent, viz : that "the exercises were so long as to weary the patience of some, who left be fore the close." We meant no , disrespect to the cause or the speakers, but we ask the Gazette if,after two hours and a half oc cupied in prayer, singing and two addres ses, fifty or more persons did not leave the church—naturally supposing that three • more addresses, singing, collection, dox ology and benediction would take until midnight? However interesting the exercises (which we listened to with much pleasure daring our stay ) it is not pleasant to sit for four or (five hours in-any public place,even though "domestic arrangements" do'not prevent ; and we know.that some present on Mon day evening,:who would probably have contributed, left from pure wearrines of body long before the close. We are still of opinion that the audience would have been better satisfied and the amount re alized larger if the meeting had closed earlier and given all who were present in the earlier part of the evening a chance to contribute to the excellent object in view. Truly the old Gazette has gro Am very testy of late. Can the cause not be found in our late exposure of certain practices very unbecoming in a journal of such dig nity and high toned morality? It :ore Boats for the Government. The steamboat Silver Cloud, Captain Shuman, has been purchased by the gov- ernment at Cincinnati, for $33,600. The 'Jennie Rodgers' has also been seized for the transport service here. The "La Crosse" and "Imperial . ' were also im pressed, but they have permission to re pair here.. The "lowa," now under re pair at the Marine Railway, will probably be taken also. Another Steamer Taken. We neglected to 'state last week that Commodore Sandford, U. S. N., who is here buying such steamboats as are suita ble for altering to gun-boats,; : had pur chased the new boat Davenport being finished at our wharf by Capt. 13. C. Gray. She is a splendid vessel, being similar to the "Majestic," of which so much has been said. The Davenport is being com pleted, so far as is intended to be done here, and will, when ready, be ordered off. Capt. Gray remarked very quietly, when the purchase was coacluded, that if he had known he was building the Davenport for a gunboat, he would have constructed her somewhat differently. Railroad to the Oil Region. A correspondent of the Philadelphia North American,%riting from Harrisburg, reviews the various projects for railroads to the oil region and closes with the fol lowing paragraph. If the route mentioned can be got into operation soon it will ma terially interfere with the present monop. oly of the oil trade by New York, so tar as railroad transportation is concerned : ."There is, however, a series of railroads almost completed, and which will be in operation by the first of September next, which will give a direct through trade from Philadelphia to the oil region.— The distance from Pittsburgh to Franklin by this series of roads is only 126 miles.— The route will be along the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago read to Home wood station, thirty-eight miles west of Pittsburgh, thence by the Beaver Valley to New Castle, thence by the Pittsburgh and Erie to Jamestown, and thence to Franklin. I have been thus elaborate in order to show that there is a consecutive route either completed or under construc tion, by which the trade of the oil region after September Ist, can, in connection with our Central road, reach Philadelphia by a shorter route than it can New York, I think the attention of our business men and capitalists should be directed promi nently to this fact. One thing is certain, for the present it is the only available route for that trade to Philadelphia." views the At Home. Capt.

Off Nicola Mole, she was boarded by the British gunboat Plover, who overhauled the ship's papers and let her go on.— March 2d she was boarded by a boat abreast 01 Juager, which gave her the information received by the British reven ue cutter that the privateer Retribution was in Crooked Island Passage and had taken several American vessels. She run them ashore on Long Island, discharged their cargoes and had sold part of a cargo to the merchants on Fortune Island, and chartered and loaded a schooner with salt to run the blockade. March 11, latitude 31 48,Iongitude 74 50, she passed a small schooner bound South painted white, its maeta.down, having her decks crowded with men all dressed in blue clothing and white cape.

Second Edition THE VERY LATEST MGM FROM THE ARMY OF THE WEST, A BATTLE IMMINENT. Fort Pemberton to be SICK TO BE TRANSFERRED A GENERAL COURT MARTIAL ANOTHER CUT-OFF IN THE HIS SISSIPPI RIVER. SKIRMISHING AT MURFREESBORO FUNERAL OF GEN. SUMNER dm., ito.. dm., dce. ST. Louis, March 24. The Democrat learns from a gentleman just from Vicksburg that the steamer Dil igent with the Eigth Missouri,had succeed ed in entering Yazoo river above Hain's Bluff.. Her course was through the Cy press Bayou, which terminates in Yazoo opposite Johnson's plantation, where Sherman's troops landed last December, thence through Steele's Bayou into the Sunflower, which empties into the Yazoo twenty miles above Hain's Bluff. The Diligent, accompanied by a light gunboat and as soon as it was found possible to get through:four iron dads followed. I am informed also that ten thousand men have gone up before this. Our force can be placed between Hains' Bluff and Yazoo City, which will enable us to operate in the rear, our former po sition, and bring the latter between two fires. It is also believed our fleet can navigate the bayous and enter the Yazoo above Yazoo, by which means our gun• boats can co-operate with our forces at Greenwood and reduce Fort Pemberton, then throw their combined strength against Yazoo City and flank the rebel position, being thus turned, Vicksburg will un doubtedly be evacuated. Batteries at Hain's Bluff were built to sweep down the river and are powerless against an attack from above. The confirmation of these things are anxiously looked for. WASHINGTON, March 2 4.—Gov. Curtin, accompanied by Col. Puleston, left here this evening for the army of the Poto• mac on business connected with the Penn sylvania troops. It is understood in military circles that Gen. Curtis will remain in charge of the department of the Missouri. Senator Ramsay will return to Minne sota during the next ten days, when he will formally resign the Governorship of that State. Surgeon J. R. Smith has, by order of Surgeon eneral Hammond, addressed a letterto Medical Director Abbott direct ing him'to take the necessary measures to cause the transfer to General Hospitals nearest — to their homes, of all sick and wounded soldiers who have been sick for three months and upwards, and who are in a fit condition to bear such transporta tion. These transfers to be made in de tachments of about fifty, under charge of proper officers and with due attention to the welfare of the sick thus transferred.

CAIRO, March 24.—The Memphis papers of Sunday report another canal or cutoff being opened from the Mississippi, fifty miles below Helena, into beer River, Washington Lake and into Sunflower River, by which we gain access to Yazoo • City and Haines' Bluff.

The federal force at Greenwood is still held in check by the rebel battery. Reduced. AU quiet at Greenwood. Both parties are repairing damages. Our present force there is regarded as insufficient to subdue:the fortifications. Leaves are being cat which it was thought would resalt in the drowning of the rebels out. Rumors are in circulation of the evacu• ation of Haines' Bluff, and that the Bth Missouri has gone up to garrison the town: If this be true it forebodes the fall or evacuation of Vicksburg. KANSAS CITY, March 23.—0 n Sunday morning a scout of forty men of the sth cavalry came upon Quautrill's guerrillas two or three hundred strong, near Blue Springs, and a short skirmish ensued.— Our forces retreated, losing nine killed and several wounded, and five missing.— The rebel loss is unknown. ----- ST.
