The Poor.—The intense cold which has pre. ▼ailed daring-the past few days, and which will most probably prevail throughout the greater •portion of the winter, will of itselt call the at tention of our charitable citizens to the poorer cissies In the community who must necessarily suffer much for the want.of a sufficient quanti ty of fuel, and from other privations. Our citi zens have acquired a name for charity and gen erous Impulse which any community would be glad to wear, and an appeal in behalf of the poorer classes hat never been made 1o them in vain. We have generously tendered large sums of money for soldiers' dinners and other pur poses, which are all noble object s in themselves, let us now <%*ect our attention to the wants of those who are suffering in our midst, and let-us unite in relievihg them. This would be truly a noble ambition ana worthy the heart of a> charitable man. We understand that arrange' me&U are being made to provide our citizens, but more especially 'the poorer classes, with a quantity of coal at qo # t, but this , movement is so in producing the desired ' effects, or any effects whatsoever, that we fear tbat ; the winter will have entirely passed away ere the poor will derive any benefl t f om it. The citizens wilt have to take this matter in hands themselves. Let every individual put his shoul der to the wheel and help to push forward thl* laudable enterprise, and their efforts will soon be crowned with the desired success. The ex penses wiik.be inconsiderable when every indi* vidual bears his share, and the benefits which will be derived from it will be immense, and such that they will be in' themselves a sufficient re ward for the labor and expenditure which we will be called upon to meet in promoting this great object. That there are poor in our midst no one can doubt, as they are in every other city of any importance, and during this time of war, their Lumbers have increased. If weTead the records of the many # charitable societies that are now flourishing in this city, and which are not able to meet all the demands of the poor for want of sufficient funds lo do so, we will find that the poor are in greater num bers,. nd Buffeting from greater privations -than at first we maybe induced to think. Soldiers’ wives, orphans and widows demand our atten tion in a special manner, nod- we should unite our efforts to relieve them, not only as charita ble citizens, but as men who have a just claim to patriotism. We have willingly relieved the wants of the soldier himself, and he was thank luifor it, let U 3 now do the same thing for his orphans who are committed to our care during his absence, and wc will confer a more accepta bly favor upon him than if we were to spend all our money in promoting his own private and in dividual welfare. Let the other poor also re ceive onr attention, and above all, whetever we do, let it be done immediately and without ' delay.) j Teachers’ Salat tea.—At a meeting of th» Teacher*’ Union, held on Saturday, ihe Presi dent, Mr. Burt, 6tated that the Central Board had not as yet responded favorably to the request of the teachers for an increase of salaries, but that It was expected thftt they would do so as soon as the justice apd necessity o! the measure was generally admitted. Op motion, a commit tee was appointed to act for the teachers in pro curing the necessary advance, the committee to consist of "W. W. Dickson, Mr. Gourley, Miss Proudfoot, and Miss Carrie Easton. Thus it would appear that the teachers are again about to resume their effbrts to obtain an Increase of salary, and ltis not at all improbable that they will lie successful in the end. We hope that they may be successful, and that their salaries will be increased in proportion to the price of all the necessaries of life. Nevertheless, it is hard to believe that the Central Board will alter their decision not to increase their salaries, under ex isting circumstances. When this question was agitated not long since, both press and public ad vocated the cause of the teachers, but notwith standing this fact the Central Board decided on the contrary, and neceßßarlly abide by their decision. The Central Board is more con versant with these matters than the generality of the public, and ae they oan have but little Interest in whatthey decide in this respect, It is difficult to bellove that their decision was other wise than just, or at least uninfluenced. In thie case We cannot blame|the Board for what they did, in deciding that the aalariesot the teachers shonld be increased. Notwithstanding this fast we still labor under the impression that the salaries of teschers should be increased, and wc believe that the public generally entertains the eame opinion. It appears unjust that a simple mechanic should receive more compensation for his work than him whose life is passed in in structing our yc^yi. Meeting of Councils.—(tur City Connells held a special meeting laßt night to take action in the case of Mr. C. McCowan, and elect a suc cessor. A-communication from Mr. McGowan, showing that more street work had beeh per. 'formed this season than during the past live years, and explaining the origin of the difficul ties between himself and the street committee, waa read and filed in Select Council, A further communication Irom the same gentleman, in which he tendered the resignation of his office, was read. His resignation was accepted in Se ject Council. In Common Council the action ol Select Councils in regard lo both communlca tionswaaconourred in. Both branches of Coun cil then met in Joint session for the purpose of electlnga successor to Mr. McGowan. Messrs B.;B. Craig and O. Relchsp&rr were nominated candidates to flu the vacant office. The votes were taken viva voce with the following result: Mr. Craig, 21 ; Mr. Belchsparr, 13. Mr. Craig was declared duly elected to fIU the office of Re cording Regulator for the unexpired term. The joint session then adjourned. No further busi ness of Importance was transacted' In either branch. Freighting on the Oil Creek Railroad ® re informed that the accumulation ol freight at the Titusville and Shaffer farm sta tions!. so great that the Oil Creek Railroad Company hat been compeUed to notify all deal ers to withhold further shipments until some portion of the surfeit Is clean d away. The track on each side of the stations above named is covered with loaded cars, for the contents of which there Is no accommodation In the ware houses, and the quantity of mud in those local ities le so great that it has entirely prevented the owners o{ the property fromtaldng it away. Thu Is a very defective state of things, especial ly under existing circumstances, when all the oU that can be brought to market is seized with the utmost avidity. If some of oui wealthy capitalists would remedy this evil, and none can doubt the possibility of their doing so, they would rc»lme a large amount of money for themselves and also confer a great benefit upon their fellow citizens who are concerned in this matter. With a safe and reliable system of transportation in those muddy regions the mar ket could be suppUed more abundantly with oil, and the amount of transportation which would be performed dally would no doubt leave a con. •Iderable margin of profit to those who provided it. We hope they will consider this matter worthy of their attention. Christmas Dinner for Soldiers.—Ruge Quantities of edibles are being sent by the Sub sistence Committee.and Christian Commission to Nashville for the dinner whloh is to be given to the soldiers on Christmas. The soldiers sta tioned la and around our city will also .be pro vided with a sumptuous repast on that great holi day, and no doubt will be able to cqjoy them aelves as well as anybody else. It is said that the contributions for this purpose will be much larger than those for the Thanksgiving dinner, eo that the “boys'- will have everything in the eating line in abundance. They enjoyed the Thanksgiving dinner fully, and we hope that on next Christmas they will have another occasion t« themselves as well. lur icmtcrs BUuiiid r before buying theft Christmas ttutl New Year's'gifts, examine the stock ol M \ era, &cuhyer 2c 00, No. 89 Fifth street.

Driving Under Difficulties. —Pedestri- ans find it very difficult to walk on the slippery streets during the present cold weather, but the drivers on the passenger railway cars have far more difficulties to encounter. It is next to im possible foi them to make schedule time, and, owing to the increased nnmber of passengers, and the snow which covers the streets double teams are necessary. Notwithstanding the in creased number of hoi sec ihe cars proceed but slowly, as the horses are continually in danger of tailing down. Severely Injured.-On Saturday a men named Theodore Powers, was eevcrely injurrd on Pike Btreet, while attempting to jump from a train for the purpose of turning a switch- While jumping from the train his foot Blipped and he fell in such a manner !Ka( he had hia ankle broken and foot crushed by being caught between the bumpers of two cars. Powers is an employee of the Allegheny Valley Railroad, and resides on Smith street, in the Ninth Ward. Robberies on Oil Creck.-However straoge it may appear to our peaceable citizens, It Is said that robberies and attempts at robber ies are becoming of frequent occurrence on Oil Creek. This Is an evil which should be crushed in the bud, and we hope that the authoritiee of that place will not fall to adopt proper meas urea for doing bo. Tbe Weather. —The weather still con'ln ues lotensely cold, and all out-door business is suffering from it The sidewalks are so slippery that those who are in a hurry and do not wish to fall down have to walk in the middle of the streets.

New York, Dec. 12.—A Washington special to the Tribune, dated 11th, says: The Charleston papers of the 6lh an nounce that Sherman was a f Station No. 6 on the sth, fifty miles from Savan nah. He was marching in the direction of Savannah. The previous report of Richmond papers that a detachment irom General Butler’s aimy had effeetd a lodgement on the South side of the James, between Druay’s Bluff and the rebel position at the Hewlett House’ is now discredited by the Richmond press. Affairs along the Iront, they say, had for some days been very quiet, but a grand attack by Grant was still hourly appre hended. Later—Rebel papers contain the message of Governor Smith, of Virginia laid before the rebel Legislature of that State last Thursday. He recommends the repeal of the State law which ex citizens from conscription by Jefferson Davis’ officers, and says he is utterly at a loss to understand why these men should not be swept into the army as well as others He also ex presses himself in favof of arming the slaves, and thinks .that the Legislature Bhould pass some act to regulate the prices of the uecessaii -s of life. The exchange of prisoners, which was broken off at Savannah a short time ago is now progressing as rapidly as practi! I cable in Charleston harbor. In conse* qnence of this, and in accordance with arrangements previously made, the bombardment of the city of Charleston has been temporarily suspended, and will not be resumed until the exchange is concluded. The bombardment ceased on Sunday morning, the 4th inst., and the operations of transporting prisoner! were soon after begun. It was expected that two or three weeks would be re quired to complete the change ATEST FROM REBEL PAPERS. Gen. Foster’a fiailroad Movement. -An Expedition Moving Towards Weldon.

We hope it is true. Wc hope he will attack Savannah, bnt the hope Is faint.

On Friday moming, the 2d inst., his main body broke up camp at Louisville, Geor gia, and marched down the Central lfailrcad—the Fourteenth and Tvven 4ieth Corps, which form his left wing being in advance, Before nightfall the greater portion rff the Yankee column had passed through Millen in the direc tion of Savannah. We have no later news of his whereabouts. The Charleston Mercury of the r.th also says: Passengers who arrived on Sunday evening repoit that a fight was going on somewhere near Pocotaligo as they passed that point, but no definite details in regard to the progress or the result of the reported action could be gathered.

Land and Naval Expedition. Success of the Expedition Said to be Beyond Doubt. Foster's Scouts in Communication with Sherman’s Forces. , Philadelphia. Dec. 12—The Bulle tin lias the folio-wing important intelli gence: The steamer Dom gal arrived this evening from the Atlantic Blockading Squadron,having left Port Royal on the ith instant. A joint naval and land expedition under Admiral Dalbgren and Foster proceeded from Beaufort up Broad river on Tuesday, December 6tb the object being to destroy the Pocato hgo bridge, on the railroad between Charleston and Savannah. The Done gal accompanied the expedition to Tif fany Creek, but did not accompany it further, wheTe, the expedition soon af ter reaching a proper position, a heavy fire was opened by them and a force was landed and an action commenced. The Porcotaligo Bridge was reached and destroyed. Our -troops were then intrenched for such future opeia tions as might be needed. The Done gal came down to Port Royal the same evening, but could not give any details of the losses on clfher side. Of thesuc cess of the grand object of the expedi tion, however, there is no doubt. [ Our informant speaks in the highest terms of the energy and activity of Ad miral Dalbgren, in organizing and di recting the movements ofthe naval bri gade in this affair. When the Donegal came down Broad river, on the evening ol the sth, shells were Been firing and exploding, which indicated that our forces.were determined to drive the ene my out of any position they might have taken after being driven from the bridge. General Poster’s scouts liad communi cated with General Sherman's forces which were marching on Savannah, the belief was that General Sherman would be in Savannah on Wednesday, the 14th The Pocatoligo bridge is about thirty' hve miles from Savannah, This bridge having been -troyed and Sher man having cut the other railroad com munications Savannah cannot be reliev ed by rc-inloicements from any noint north ot that city. Reports from Rebel Papers. Sherman’s Position in Georgia, Proceedings in the Rebel Congress. Washington, Dec. 11.--Judging from tlic lavurable silence of the Richmond OI Fri.lsy last, of Sherman's movements in Georgia, anil the well jouinle.l probabilities on what is known have been contemplated, there is hardly any doubt but that on either yesterday or to-day his airny reached the coast at or near Savannah, with slight or no loss and w ith the main body well snpplud with provisions and ammunition, hav ing destroyed one huudr. d miles of rail road and one million dollars wortli ol supplies belonging to the enemy In the rebel Senate on Thursday the Improvement Bill was taken up and discussed at length, and was finally re lerred to the Military Committee A resolution in regard to the unlawlul seizure ol the Florida was passed.

The Examiner of the 9th Bays: From the best information we believe Sheridan and the greater portion of his armv are still in the Valley. Some of his troops have joined Grant, Sherman is report ed to have reached a point ht)lr way be tween.Millen and Savannah, and is be lieved to be marching on the latter place. We hope he will attack Savannah, but hope is faint, for when he gets in that neighborhood, and has some clear in formation of what Savannah is, he will torn in another direction Latest From the Front Headquarters Army op the Poto mac, Dec. 12. —The demonstration made here yesterday towards Hatcher’s Run, by a division of cavalry of the 2d corps, aid not bring on an engagement with the exception of a skirmish on the crossing of the Vaughan road, and an other in the evening near the Arm strong Rouse. No fight of any conse quence took plane, the rebels were fal ling back as onr troops advanced. The object of this movement was evidently to keep them from sending a force to intercept Warren, and it is believed to have been successful. Our loss in the Rnairfw&s about one hundred and twen ty-nye Killed, wounded and missing. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, the com mand was ordered ’tQ return their old camp. Nothing positive baa yet been heard from Warren, though rumors have it that he had a fight at Garrett’s Sta tion, on the Weldon railroad, which gained a viclory and was pursuing the enemy. 6 The Dntoh Gap 1 Canal.
