The Subsistence Committee
Being present on Sunday night when
the Subsistence Committee so bountifuly
entertained, the Eighth Michigan Regi
ment, we could not help noticing the ad
mirable manner in which everything is
managed 'by those ladies and gentlemen
having immediate charge of City Hall.
As many 01 our readers may never have
been present when a regment of tired
and hungry soldiers were being enter
tained, a word or two from us may not
be uninteresting. As a general thing the
Subsistence Committee are notified by
telegraph of the time when a regiment
will reach the city, and its numbers,
when they set about preparing the re
past, which, though varied, generally
consists of hot coffee, soup, bread, crack
ers, cheese, krout, apples, bolouna sau
sages, etc. There is seven tables, ex
tending the entire length of the hall,
which will accommodate over one
thousand men at a time. lowing the
exact number of men to arrive, the sub
stantials are all placed upon the table, or
tables, and as soon as their presence is
announced, the hot coffee and soup are
served up. During this opperation, the
scene is a lively one. Young ladies and
gentlemen, and-even some elderly ma
trons, are actively engaged, some draw
ing buckets of coffee from the mammoth
boiler and filling the tins on the table
with the smoking beverage, others serv
ing up dishes of rich, highly seasoned
soup. All ready, the men march into
the Hall, an officer at their head—they
"halt", "dress up," - front face," "fix
bayonets;" "stack arms," "unsling knap
sacks," "right face," an march to the at
tack upon the good things set before
them. The repast over, after Cheers for
their entertainers, the men resume the
trappings of war, and go on their way,
rejoicing. Such is a brief, but imperfect
sketch of what transpires almost every
day and night at City Hall. All honor
to those men and women who devote
their time to such a noble cause.
Time for Holding the Fair
It being generally conceded that the
Fair for, the !benefit of the Sanitary
Commission will be held in Allegheny
City—there being no eligible site for the
erection of the building. in Pittsburgh—
it becomes a matter of some importance
to fix upon th;i time for building it. The
month of May has been named, and the
general impression seems to be that the
Fair will come off some time during that
month. There are, however, some who
object to the proposed time, as coming
in one of the busiest seasons among sour
farmers. Should the spring prove a late
one—and the indications now are that
it will be—the month of May will find
the farmer busily engaged in putting in
his spring crops, a business which must
be attended to in season, or not at all.
This would render it almost impossible
for the rural i opulatit n of Allegheny
and the surrounding counties to visit the
Fair. We have heard it suggested that the
first of June would be early enough to
open the exhiltition, as by that time the
throng of the farmers spring work would
be over, and the weathAr would be more
likely to be setth it. It would be well for
the Executive Committee to give the
time of opening the Fair due consider
ation. For oure'lf, we think the last
week in May, ,ir the first of June, would
be sail euou•rb for the grand Opening.
Moon Township Election.—The
Democracy of Moon, at the election for
township officers on Friday last, gave
the Leagues a perfect Waterloo defeat.
It seems that three years ago an arrange
iPment was entered into between the HA
-
publicans and Democrats to nominate '
the best men by both parties for town
ship officers, but this year the Union
League met and put forth a full ticket of
their own. This coming to the know
ledge ofthe Democrats, they at once re
solved to nominate a ticket, pledged to
a vigorous prosecution of the war in ac
cordance with a strict construction of
the constitution. The result was that
the ticket of the secret Leagues was de
feated by an as erage majority of eight
rotes. This is doing well for Moon
township, when it is known that ai the
last fall election the vote was about a tie
between the two partiea. We may add
that Moon township has filled her quota
for both the late calls of the President for
volunteers, as well as the one to come,•
and has money still in the hands of the
Treasurer. The Democrats of Moon
township are wide awake and know how
to deal with their opponents, no matter
what name they may assume.
The Reserves.—lt is stated that
orders have been issued for the return of
remnants of the Perrnsylvania Reserves
for the purpose of filling up their ranks.
If the report be true, and the Reserves—
once and still the pride of Pensylvania—
do fill up their depleted ranks, we trust
they may not meet in a second campaign
the same treatment they did in the first.
A braver or more efficient body of men
never went forth to battle; and yet for
some cause suspicions have been cast
upon them and their Chief, and notwith
standing half their numbers sealed their
devotion to their country with their
lives, yet still there are those who seem
disposed to deny them the just mede
of praise to which they are entitled.
There arc two regiments in the corps
which are almost wholly composed of
Pittsburghers, and, as the brave fellows
have been absent row for nearly three
years, it seems only reasonable that the
proposed furlough should be given them.
They are credited to the State, and a
warm welcome awaits the gallant band
whenever they return.
A Raid.—The number of soldiers
enterained by the Subsistence Commit
tee on Sunday night was so great, that
the bread would not hold out, and the
Committee, not wishing the brave fel
lows to suffer, took baskets on their
arms, made a raid on Penn street, and
soon secured enough of tlid Staff of Life,
to more than satisfy their present need,
and they feel more encouraged by the
hearty welcome they received in every
house at which they called, and by the
generous sympathy manifested by our
oitizens in the work in which they have
been so long engaged, than by anything
that has occurred since the organization
of the Committee.

1 "Know-Nothings."—The reader will
recollect that a short time since a commit
tee of the Legislature were in this city
for the purpose of taking testimony as
to the authorship of certain communi
tions which had appeared in the col
umns ofthePittsburgh Commercia4alleged
to have been written by one of the "gift
ed minds" connected with that paper.
recollect
It would appear from the evidence of the
following gentlemen—all engaged upon
i the C ,, nimercia/ at the time the commit
! nication in question appeared—that
"Know-Nothings are not all extinct.
1 The report says :
Mr. N. P. Sawyer, the managing editor of the
Pittsburgh Commercial, was'called and examin
ed. He denied all knowledge of who was the
author of the communications in that paper
which were the subject of this investigation.
Mr. John C. Harper, the local reporter 01 the
same, Was also examined, but he could give
your committee no information which would
enlighten your committee on the subject fur
which it was appointed.
Mr. John B. liennedy, one of the managing
editors of the same paper, was then examined.
but the examination failed to elicit any tact
whereby your committee could guess the author
ship of the communications in questi o n .
Mr. J. li. Murphy, the foreman of the compos
ing room of the printing otlice of the Pittsburgh
Commercial, was then called and examined, and,
like all who had preceded him, he knew nothing,
nor had he heard anything which would enable
him to tell who was the author of the communi
cations in the Pittsburgh Commercial, which
were the subject of the investigation.
Vinegar.—This article is one of the
most necessary, and yet we rarely find it '
of good, or even passable quality. By
the following receipt, which I have been
following for many years, any one may
make the article on his own premises :
To eight gallons or clear rain water, add
three quarts of molasses put into a good
cask, shake well a few times, then add
t wn or three spoonfuls of good yeast
cakes. If in summer, place in the sun
it in winter near the chimney, where it
may be warm. In ten or fifteen days
add to the liquor a sheet of brown paper,
torn in strips, dippcd in molasses, and
good vinegar will be produced. The pa.
per, will in this way form What is called
the "mother," or "life of the vinegar." '

Dangerously Ill.—We are grieved
to learn that the mother of Capt. G. B.
C. Martin:of the 48th Penna. Regiment,
received a dispatch from Col. Thos. Ahl,
commanding the regiment, that her son
was lying ill at Chattanooga with pleu
risy, and urging her immediate depar
ture for that point. Captain Martin left
here but a week or two since in the en
joyment of robust health, and we can
scarcely realize the fact that he is seri
ously ill, and trust that when his aged
mother reaches Chattanooga she will
find him convalescent, and that he may
long be spared to do battle in the cause
of his country.

about to leave for the East to join Gen.

the services of a couple hundred addi

evening, March Roth. Among the

Cold.—The weather still continues
clear and cold, but one of the "oldest
inhabitants" informed us confidentially
yesterday that we had better have it a
little cold jest now than later in the
season. Guess the old gentleman is
about right.
Col. Streight.—This gallant soldier
is expected to pass through Pittsburgh
to-day on his way to Indianapolis,
where he will rejoin his old command,
now on veteran furlough at their homes.

WASH/NOT* March 21.—HousE.—
Mr. Kerwin (N. Y.) offered an amend
ment providing that some of the money
appropriated for transportation shall be
devoted to carrying civilians to their
homes, and he mentioned in this con
nection that he had been informed that
voters were Bent to Pennsylvania at the
public expense. He wanted to stop
such provisions.
Mr. Stevens (Pa.) excitedly demand
ed his authority, failing to give which
the gentleman must be held responsible.
Mr. Harris (Md.) advocated the
amendment, believing money had been
thus spent. He could believe this of an
administration which had sent boats in
to Maryland to steal negroesi
Mr. Kelly (.Pa.) denied,as had Mr. Ste
vens, that voters were sent home at gov
ernment expense,and charged that Judge
Woodward had expressed the opinion
that if there was to be a division of the
Union the dividing llne should be north
of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Broomal confirmed this, but said
that Woodward had expressed that
opinion before any State had seceded.
Mr. Stiles said the slander had been re
futed and denied.
A lively debate continued for some
time, during which Mr. Chandler 'said
the opposition were opposed to an in
vestitrat ion, and wanted to refer the in
vestigation, as Mr. Stevens proposed, to
a smutting committee to blab over the
faults of the administration.
. .
Mr. Gooch, noticing a remark of Mr.
Kernan, defended the Committee on the
Conduct of the War from being a white
washing committee.
Mr Miller and Mr. Kelly, both from
Pennsylvania, had a lively time, some
what of a personal character.
Mr. Kernan's appropriation bill passed.
SENATE.—After the presentation of
various memorials Mr. Wilson called up
the bill to promote enlistments.
Mr. Davis offered an amendment sim
ilar to the one heretofore rejected, al
lowing the District Courts to appoint
Commissioners to make a 'valuation and
reward the loyal owners of just com
pensation for slaves taken under the
rrovisions of the bill.
Mr. Davis addressed the Senate in
support of his amendment.
The morning hour havingexpired Mr.
D( °little called up the bill to regulate
Indian affairs in California.
Mr. Davis resumed his speech on his
amyndment.
Mr. Wilkinson said he favored the
original bill because he was not only in
favor of employing all the slaves which
could be mustered into our armies for ,
the purpose of removing the burdens of
this war from the shoulders of white
young men of our country, but he also
favored it because he believed it would
work the emancipation of slaves every
where. The President cannot abrogate
