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.

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

-An Expedition Moving Towards Weldon.
New \ ore, December 12.—The Rich

Tile Petersburg Kxpresx of tin 1 Hili
saysoi Warren's expedition: The ex
petition of the enemy was reported yes
terday morning at Proctor's, some (wen

Sherman Moving towards Savannah
The Rebels confident ofHolding that City.
A BATTLE hepohted,
New Yoiik, December 12.—The Rich
mond Examiner, of the 9th, says: Sher
man is reported to hare reached a point
half way between Millen and Savannah,
ana is believed to be marching on the
latter place. We hope it is true. Wc
hope he will attack Savannah, bnt the
hope Is faint. When he reaches the
neighborhood and gets some clear in
lurmation as to what Savannah is, he
will turn his steps in another direction
The Charleston Mercury, of the nth
inst., says: General Sherman is evident-
.AHTROHV MBTBB
ly marching for Savannah, or sqnie
other point in its neighborhood. 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.
A Despatch from Gen. Thomas,
GOOD News EXPECTED
New York, Dec. J2.— The Tribune's
Washsngton special says that Thomas
telegraphed to Washington on Satur

Nashville without slipping up. ' The
Government feels entire confidence, not
only in Sherman’s movement, but in

country will rejoice over the news of

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'

any doubt but that on either yesterday

Some skirmishes occurred.
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

heard from Warren, though rumors have
it that he had a fight at Garrett’s Sta

gained a viclory and was pursuing the

The Dntoh Gap 1 Canal.
New York, Dec. 11.—The World
says : It is now positively known that
the .James River fleet has been rein

access to the river above Dutch Gap Ca
nal. The torpedo boats are intended to
bear their part in the movement and de
stroy the obstrnctions placed in James
River below Richmond.
Dutch Gap, it is understood, was so
far completed last week that the head
conld be blown out at nny time and it

already taken place.
