A letter received in Washington on the 18th, from ROST. J. WALKER, London, says that a great revolution is going on in England in reference to the financial strength of this government. He also says that a heavy tide of emigration will set imo.this country in the spring, and' with congenial legislation, it may be car ried up to half a million of people a year. He proposes that Congress shall enact that no emigrants shall be liable to con scrirtion during the war, so as to disarm suspicionabroad. Doctor LANE, of Georgia, now engaged among the prisoners at Richmond, says that President Liscoutes amnesty pron. , lamation has caused great excitement among the Confederate government offi. vials, and that he (the Doctor) has no doubt that one-halt of their men are fools enough to avail themselves of the advent ages held out in that proclamation to take the oath of allegiance to the 'United states. The doctor recently heard the guards at Libby Prison say that Gen. LEE and dErv. DAVIS bad made a secret prop osition to the rebel Congress to give up the rebellion and bring the war to a close.

TRW PITTSBURGH POST: WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1864. DAILY POST WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1884 LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, Relief of the Poor. We yesterday briefly alluded to the re port of the Secretary of the Pittsburgh Association for the Relief of the Poor for the past year, In referring to the report again, we find that Mrs. Wade has intro• duced a subject which should appeal to the spmpathies and arrest the attention of every man and women in the land. We refer to the inadequate compensation paid for female labor. Said one poor woman to one of the Directors, as she bent over an elaborate piece of braiding, for which she was to receive the merest pittance from those who employ her, but.for which, the lady to whom it be longed, was to pay an exhorbitant sum, "If I can, by working all day and every night till eleven o'clock, earn two dollars a week, I am very thankful." Another feeble looking woman, as she sat stitching a man's heavy overcoat, was asked how much she received for such a piece of work ? The answer was, forty cents. Another, making pataloons, on being ask ed the same question, showed to the Di rector her account with her employer, in which was written in his own hand, "thirty cents for making two pair of pan taloons." Another informed the Director, she received twenty cents a pair, and found her own thread. Another who was knit ting socks, said she received twelve and a half cents a pair. Another poor woman without any other means of support and suffering from rheumatism, was found making and stitching in the nicest manner, shirts at twenty-five cents a piece, The Secretary concludes her remarks on this subject in the following simple, touching, yet eloquent words: "While the Asesociation disclaims all who wish to dictate, and while it rejoices that the laboring man is amply compen— sated for his services, it does claim the right to thus pnblicy implore all persons employing poor laboring women in the City, to pay them at least, living wages, for the hard tasks they perform. By so doing they will lessen the expenditures of the Association, and, what is of far great. er importance, will preserve to women, self—reliance, industry and independence, thereby saving her frcm the tempations of misery and want, and retaining her within the golden circle of hapiness and virtue. fhe blessings of the periehing, and of a merciful God, will rest upon those who deal liberally with the poor and oppress ed DrFF • S NEW COLLEGE HALL, ING - N BUILDINGS, FIFTH STREET, PITTSBURGH.- ID addition to their main educational hall of thirty by one hundred and twenty teet. t he enterprising proprietors of this estab lishment have just had finished, expressly for their business, au elegant new hall of thirty by eighty feet, forming one of the most extensive and splendid establishments of the kind in the Union The present staff of Professors, acting ander the imme diate direction of the Principals and the able Superintendent, Mr. Thomas B. Smith an experienced practical account ant. includes Mr. R. L. Morrow, l'rofessor of Bookeeping and Assistant Professor of Penmanship, and Mr. John K. Stewart. late Professor of Penmaliehie and Hook keeping in the Wheeling College, and Mr. W. S. Fulton, with several assistants, in the Bookkeeping department. The whole collegiate course includes about fifty booke, ruled to nearly thirty ditfereot forms; viz: ten Ledgers, seven Daybooks, fire Journals, five Bill Books, four Cash Books, four Sales Books, two Invoice Books, one Discount B_., k, one Check Register, one Deposit Register, two Collection Registers, one Tickler, one Hands Ri gister, one Freight List, twc, Passenger Lists, one Fuel Book. Nearly six hundred .business transactions are entered and eystenia:mally recorded throughout these books, presenting a course of business practice that will be sought in vain elsewhere. A comparison of the books of other commercial schools with those of this institution will decide this point. IMPURE W;TEa.—The Chronicle, of yesterday, has an article on the impurity of hydrant water, as now furnished our citizens, and asserts that in addition to the nauseous taste imparted to the water from the oil, that it is rendered still more im• pure and unhealthy from the large quanti ty of refuse, including eulpburic.acid, Sce., which is permitted to ran from the numerous refineries obovo the city into the river. We. in common with our neigh bor of the Chronicle have recently had abundant evidence of the impurity of the hydrant water; but a different cause has been assigned to us for the nuisance—for such it is: It is said that the ice having gorged just below the point where the wa ter mains protrude into the Allegheny riv er, a vast amount of Boating oil has aeon mulated there, which has found its way through the main pipes into the basin, and thence to the hydrants. If our theory is correct, the nuisance will pass away with the departure of the ice. SE TONS BENEFIT.-A chance for the wits—a silver cup will be given to the au thor of the best conundrum.

Notice will be given of the other trains as they are put on. SENTENCED TO THE PENITENTIARY.—AI derman T. F.

REPORT OF THE SUBSISTENCE COMMITTEE FOR NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER.—During the months of November and December we have fed at our large dining rooms at City Hall, 4,827 soldiers who have passed through our city emit and west. At the Soldier's Home on Liberty street, 4,166 soldiers have been cared for and provided with meale, and 1,093 have been turnieh ed with lodging. Making a total of 141,- 904 soldiers who have been fed by oar Committee since August, 1861, over 16,000 of whom were sick and wounded. At no time since oar organizing has the need of the Soldier's Home been more fully reali zed than during the past months. Many of those ca-ed for at the Home during the past months were those who were being transferred from hospitals in other States to those in their own States, and on arriving here wt.re in such a con dition that to proceed on their way at once would have been fatal to many of them. But by. remaining a day ore night at the Home, and receiving medical atten tion and care they l.i ve beau able to re sume their Jourii:) , t in safety. Ten soldiers have had .r importation given to them who were left in our Oily without means of reaching their homes. "'Sixteen were sent to the U. S. General Hospital Although we have had very many liber al contributions during the past months yet our friends must not forget that the demand on us has been very great, and the coming mouths promise to be one of unusual work, owing to the num ber of veterans returning home. The MUCII• her cf sick and wcunded now passing through is so great that we will be obliged to enlarge our rooms at the Home, to do this and carry on our usual work, we will require increateel contributions.

Alerisnai BY TELEGRAPH, TO THE DAILY POST. GOV. CURTIN'S INAUGURAL Rebels Captured in Tennessee LATEST FROM MEXICO HARRISBURG, Jan. 19, 1964 l'ellow• Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives: Called by the partiality of my fellow citizens to the office of Governor of Penn sylvania for another term, I appear before you to solemnly renew the prescribed ob. ligation to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Pennsylvania, and to discharge the responsible trust confided to me with fidelity. When first summoned before you three years ago to assume the sacred duties Of the Executive Office, the long gathering clouds of civil war were shout to break upon our devoted country. For years treason had been gathering in might ; it had been appropriating to its fiendish lust, more and more bountifully of the nation's honors; it had grown steadily bolder in its assumption of power, until it had won the tolerance, if not the sanction of a formi• dable element cf popular strength, even in the confessedly loyal States. The elec- tion of a President in lede, in strict con< formity with the Constitution and the Laws, though not the cause, was deemed the fit occasion for an organized attempt to overthrow thif whole fabric of oar free institutions and plunge a nation of thirty millions of people into hopeless anarchy. The grave offence charged against the President elect, seemed alone to consiat in his avowed fidelity to the Government, and his determined purpose to fulfill hie solemn covenant to maintain inviolate the union of the States. When inaugurated he found States in open rebellion, die claiming allegiance to the Government, fraudulently appropriating its property. and insolently contending its authority. Treason was struggling for supremacy in every department of the administrative power. In the Cabinet it feloniously die armed us. Oar arsenals were robbed to enable the armies of crime to drench a continent in fraternal blood. Our coats were left comparatively defenceless to fall an easy prey to traitors. Oi r r a'y wt.& scattered upon distant seas, t.J render the Republic helpless for its own protection. Officers educated, commissioned and sworn to defend the Government against any foe, became deserters. They defied Heaven in shameless perjury, and with fratricidal hands, drew their swords against the country of their allegiance. And when treason had thus completed its preparations, this wanton and wicked war was forced upon our loyal people. Never was war so causeless. Tao North had sought no sectional triumph, invaded uo rights, and inflicted no wrongs upon the South. It aimed to preserve the Repub lic, not to destroy it; and even when re bellion presented the sword as the arbiter, we exhausted every effort consistent with the existence of our Government to avert the bloody drama of the last three years. The insolent alternation presented by treason of fatal dismemberment or inter necine war was met by generous efforts to avert the storm of death which threatened to fall; but the leaders of the rebellion shunned peace, unless they could get their infernal ambition over the rains of the noblest and freest government ever de vised by man. Three years of blocd, wasting war, and the horrible sacrifice of f a qaarter of a mil lion lives attest the desperation of their purpose to overthrow our liberties. Mourning and sorrow spread over oar en tire nation, and defeat and desolation are the terrible trophies won by the traitor's hand. Oar people have been sorely tried by disasters, but in t.. .e midst of the deep est gloom they have stood with unfaltering devotion to the great cause of our common country, relying upon the-ultimate triumph of the right. They have proved equal to the stern duty, and worthy of their rich inheritance of freedom. Their fideluy has been well rewarded. In God's own good time he has asserted his avenging power; and if this war is persisted in, they, the leaders of the rebel lion, as has become evident, and slavery and treason, the fountain and stream of discord and death, must soon share a corn mon grave. This great struggle for our honored us. tiooality of Pennsylvania, has won immor tal fame, despite the teaching of the faithless and the hesitation of the timid. She has promptly and generously met every demand made upon her, whether to repel invasion or to fight the battles of the Union whenever or wherever her people were demanded, Upon every field made historic and sacred by the valor of oar troops, some of the martial youth of Penn sylvania have fallen. There is scarcely a hospital that has not been visited by our kind offices to our sick and wounded. There is not a Department in which brave men do not answer with pride to the name of our noble State, and while history en• dures, loyal hearts will turn with feelings of national pride to Gettysburg, where the common deliverance of Pennsylvania and the Union will stand recorded in the ucsurpassed glory of that bloody field. I need hardly renew my pledge, that daring the term of °W.:O ou which I am about to enter, I will give nay whole moral and official power to the prosecution of this war, and in aiding the National Gov ernment in every effort to secure the early and complete success over our malignant foes. For the preservation of our nation_l al life all things should be subordinated. It is the first highest and noblest duty of the citizen. L. is his protection in person, property, and all civil and religious privi leges, and for its perpetuity in form and power, he owes all his efforts, his mine, his means and his life. To com promise with treason would be but to give it renewed existence, and enable it again to plunge us into another causeless war. In the destruction of the military powe r o f the rebellion is alone the hope of peace ; for while armed rebels march over the soil of any State, no real freedom can pre vail, and no government authority, con sistent with the genius of our free institu tions can properly operate. The people of every State are entitled, under the Constitution, to the protection of the Government, and to give that pro tection folly and fairly the rebellion must be disarmed and trodden in the dust. By these means, and these alone, can we have an enduring Union, prosperity and peace. As in the past I will in the future, in faith ful obedience, to the oath I have taken, spare no means, and withhold no power which can strengthen the Government in this conflict. To the measures of the citi• ZeDS chosen! to administer the National , Government adopted to promote our great I cause, I will give my cordial approval and earnest co-operation. it ie the cause of constitutional liberty and law. Powers which are essential to our common safety should now be wisely and fearlessly ad ministered; and that executive would be faithless and held guilty before the world, who &honld fail to wield the might of the Government for its pereervance, The de tails of my views on the measures which I recommend are contained in my recent annual Message, and need not here be repeated. I beg to return to the generous people of my native State my hearty thanks for their unfaltering support Sind continued Confidence. They have sustained me amid many trying hours of official embarrass ment. Among all those people, to none am I more indebted than to the soldiers of Pennsylvania, and I have pledged to these brave men my untiring exertions in their behalf, and my most anxious efforts for their future welfare, and I commend here, as I have frequently done before, those dependant upon them to the foster ing care of the State. I cannot close this address without an earnest prayer to the Most High that he will preserve, protect and guard our be loved conntry—guiding with divine power and wisdom our Government, State and National; and I appeal to my fellow•citi• zees here and elsewhere, in our existing embarrassments, to lay aside ail partizan feelings and finite in a hearty and earnest effort to support the common cause which involves the welfare of us all. Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representa• tives, I pray you, in God's name, let us in this era in the history of the world, set an example of unity and concord in the support of all measures for the preserve , tion of this great republic.

EIARRISBURU, .Jan. 19, — News has just been received here of a terrible accident which happened this morning on the Cat tawissa railroad, by which a number of lives were lost, and an entire freight train shattered to atoms. One of theprincipal bridges between Summit and Cattawisea gave way while the train was passing over the bridge, and the train was ren dered a perfect wreck. The accident was caused by the recent heavy rains. For tunately the passenger train which was due about the same time had passed over in safety.
