LOCAL INTELLIGENCE FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1864. Sanitary Fair. Mechanics’ Hall.— lt la singular that there are, comparatively speaking, but few visitors enter tWs Hall, though ifls the great centre oi everything ingenious and useful. There arc ■cores of labo>savlng machines on exhibition In this department. It would be impossible to enumerate all of the Improvements, patent -rightfl and ingenious devices that may be found here. Maohines that have cost twenty years oi study and labor, are paused by as unworthy ol notice, while! some bawble, not worth the room it occupies, will collect crowds of admirers. Country ladles are often visitors to the Mechan ical department, as they are somewhat interest ~ ed in the patent beehives, churns, washing-ma" chines, booking ranges, looms, &c., &c., but with this exception, but few ladies visit Mechanics’ Hall. Oolr taste is difl'erent, and perhaps this may call forth unjust criticism. But certainly’ for us, there is no place like Mechanics’Hali, Art Gallery, or Monitor Hail. There may be implements there—or portions of implements, not larger than a man’s hand, that may have been the product of yean of close study, weary days, and sleepless algths. None but the indus trious mechanic can properly realize the value ol the improvements here presented to the pub lic. The governor of a steam engine, for in stance, looks to the uneducated eye, as a kind otaupU Jack, put up to excite mirth, while to the machinist, it is a wonderful contrivance— almost an Intelligent creature—regulating the whole machinery, by a cunning advantage taken of the laws of gravitation. So It is of almost every other invention. The untaught eye can, not see the merits of the improvement until tt 1b explained by the person who invented it, and but few visitors wait or ask for an explanation. Perhaps not one out of ten can tell why a lever pump throws a ctjptinuous stream of water, yet many do so and a Tew such pumps are on exhi bition at ■Mechanics’ Hall. We hope yet to see this Hall crowded with inquisitive visitors who will not leave till they understand the why and the wherefore of every machine in That place. CHIHE3S AND Amehicas.—There are two booths In the Bazaar, at the Sanitary Fair, which we have as yet omitted to notice. One 1 of these is a Chinese booth, where everything is kept for salethat is usually made by the Chinese nation. Curiously wrought fans, porcelain and porcelain towers are exhibited at this booth. The ladies in attendance are dressed in the cos tume peculiar to that people, and everything looks considerably oriental. They have sold a large quantity of goods and have a large quan tity yet on hand. ' . The lather just adjoining is the American Booth, in which some half dozen young ladies are so nicely costumed as to resemble young Indian ladies precisely. Pochaliontas was not more beautiful than these young Americana, nor was she half so agreeable. Here you can pur chase all kinds of-Indian implements and see beautiful specimens of their handiwork. This Booth is peculiarly attractive and the same maybe said of thoac who superintend it. We hope those who visit the Fair will not fail to notice these two booths which are located near the centre of Bazaar Hall. Tho Draft.—The following are the approx imate quotas of the various wards of this city to be Oiled on Monday next: The whole num ber Is about disposed as follows: First ward, 81; Second, 19; Third, 179; Fifth, 75; Sixth 34; Eighth, 97; Ninth, 79. The Fourth and Sev enth have a Burplus. Fifty per cent will l.e added for.exemption. Notices will be served as speedily as possible on the dratted men, and in ten days examinations will commence, and con tinue until the list of drafted men is gone over Under the amended law, the labors of the Boaid of enrollment have been considerably lightenc d by a sweeping extinction of the causes of ex emption. ; The only causes now recognized are mental add physical unfitness for service The persons otherwise, exempt by law are the Vice President, Judges of the United States Courts heads of Executive Departments, Governors of States, and persons actually in service at the time of making the draft. Able-bodied men can only Becure exemption from this draft under this call by paying commutation. Whatever deficiency may still exist In any sub-district after this examination is completed must be filled by subsequent drafts, and in the event of a general preference of this plan of avoiding service, thereby reducing the number of men furnished upon the quota of the several States it is mostprohable that another call will l mmc ! dlatelybcmade, when ail those who have paid commutation become again liable to draft Vol unteers must be offered before the draft, but i substitutes need not be offered till after the I . friends of this excellent chari iaßß^^futioh—the Mercy Hospital—are ar ranging for a Pic-Nie to come off' at Iron City- Park on Friday, .Tune 21st, for the benefit of said institution. A more worthy object than the support of a Hospital such as this is can scarcely be found. Its worksare entirely chari table, and arc dispensed unselfishly alike to all who are suffering and need the ministrations of those pure and' gentle beings-thc Sisters of Mercy. During- the progress of the war the Hospital haa been taxed to Its utmost, and its ministering angfels have never wearied in the good »brk of Christian charity. It isbutproper therefore, that the occasion of this Pic-Nic should be made the means of extending the means of usefulness of so laudable an institu tion. By attending on this occasion our citi zens will be enabled, while enjoying a day of , innocent recreation from the turmoil of bus! ness, to contribute something to the relief of luffferio* humanity Old Sabeteteuce Committee.—This noble Institution has done more during the last three years for the soldiers than many institutions that are more highly lauded. Jt has furnished homes for the traveling soldier, fed the hun gry, nursed the sick, and dressed the wounds of thousands of poor suffering humanity. During three years it has been busy all the time in doing good. It has Ted and lodged more than two hundred thousand soldiers since August, IMI, many of whom would otherwise have starved. Showcrs.-Dunng the last few daye and nights we have been favoured with the most re freshing and invigorating showers, which will make vegetation grow like the corn, revive Uke vine, and spread, its roots Uke the trees of Lebanon. The rain on Wednesday evening and during the night was heavy and the streams are considerably; awolen. Sanitary Fd»r Receipts.-The total amount of receipt of the Sanitary Fair a mount ed™ yesterday to the large sum of two hun dred and twenty thousand dollars. Yesterday's receipts were twelve thousand fire hundred dol- Un.

That Committee I have the honor to inform you is pres ent, and on its behalf I have the honor to present you will; a copy of the resrdu tions or platform adopted by that Con vention as expressive of its sense and : thl ' 3l ' nse ° r 'he country which it repre j sents, of the principles and policy that j should characterize the Administration j in the present condition ofthc country, j 1 nc,|,| i not say to you that the Convcn ; lion thus unanimously nominating von » gave Utterance to the adiin-t mover' i sal voice of the people ,-nuntry. . To doubt your eledtien w..ub| be little ; short of abandoning the hope 01 a final ! suppression ofthc rebellion and the res 1 toration of the government. Neither the ; Convention nor those represented by that body, entertained any doubt as to j the tinai result under your administra ; tion, sustained by the loyal people and | by our noble army and gallant navy. | Neither did the Convention, nor do this Committee, doubt the speedy suppr.-s -' sion of this most wicked and unprovoked rebellion. A'copy of the resolutions was here handed lo the President. I wou’d add, Mr. President, that it would be the pleasure of the Committee to communi cate to you. within a few dav, through one oi its most a eomplished member-: Mr. Curtis, by letter, at more length 'ho circumstances under which you have been,,laced by the nomination for the Presidency. Tlii- ['resilient =aul -Mr. Chairman •tn.l Gentlemen of the Committee, I -will neither conceal my gratification n'nr re stram the expression of my cmliluil( . that the union people, through their Convention, in the eominiifd effort to save and advance the Nation, have deemed not unworthy to remain in my present pontioni I lviinw no reason tn ! doubt 1 siiall aecept the nomination ; lelulcri,,i . find yet perhaps I should m.t i lieolnre .leriniily before reading and rn„- 1 S dering what is railed thr platform 1 i "'ill say now, however,that I approve'the derdaration in favor of an amendment, to the Constitution so as to prohibit alaverv throughout the Nation, when the people > n revolt with the 100 dav.s explicit j nature that they could, within those days resume their allegiance without the overthrow of their institutions, and that they could not resume if afterwards elected to stand nut for such an amend ment of the Constitution as now propos ed to become a fitting and necessary conclusion for the success of the Union j cause. Such alone can meet and cover all evils. I now perceive its impor tance and embrace it. In the joint names , of liberty and union let us labor to give ! it legal form and practical effect. At 1 the conclusion of the President's speech ■ all of the Committee shook him cordial- j ly by the hand and offered their personal j cougratul tion. ‘ The Blockading Squadron. Capture of the U. S. Steamer Water Witch, Desperate Kesistance of the Crew. Philadelphia, June 9,—The steam er Massachusetts Irom the blockading squadron, reports' the capture on the Jd ult. at 2 o'clock a. m. , of the U. ft. steamer Water-Witch, Lieut, command ing Aust. Pendergast, in Osabaw Sound, Ga., by eight armed boats sent out from the rebel Fort McAllister. This informa tion was received from one of his crew who made his escape by jumping over her bows and swimming ashore. He says a desperate resistance was made by her officers and crew but superior numbers overpowered them. He cannot tell if they met with any loss ; he saw the action going on while he was seated in the long grass.
