D. one thousend eight hundred and sixty-one Signed} Joun H. Jounson, J.P. The following gentlemen were present and took the cath: May Berrett and Messrs. Richard Wallach and J. F. Brown, of Washington; Mayor Addison and Mr. W. H. Tenney, of Georgetown; and Mr. Sayles Bowen, of Washington county. Mr. Enos C. Robbins is absent from the city. On motion of Mr. Richard Wallach, Maycr Berrett took the chair and called the board to order. Mr. Tenney moved that the session be held with closed doors; which motion was a the room clea: The reporters present bun up their ‘ fixins’’ and moved off with the crowd ata “‘doule quick.”’ Before going to press we learn that the Board rmanently organized by the election of Richard Wemacb, Esq.. President, J. F. Brown, Treasu- rer, and Thomas A. Lazenby, (of Georgetown,) Clerk. The Board adjourned after organizing, without electing any other officers. [It is understood that there were twenty to thir- ty applicants for the Clerkship from Washington and but ene from Georgetown—all good men; and that the Commissioners from that city beving yielded the President, Treasurer, and Chief of Police to Washingten demanded the Clerk, and the Board acquiesced} Minirary Faeionr —Never has our city wit- nessed such a tide of cattle, horses, and freight, as is now pouring into Washington by rail and water. Immense cargoes of military stores, &c , arrive daily at our wharves from Philadelphia and New York, while the stream that pours in at the depot is almust ceaseless. One burden train bas barely ot out of the wey before another comes thunder- ng in, and it is frequently the case that the switches are so filled up that trains are compelled to stand upon the main track and discharge their loads at considerable distances from the depot, and then, without turning the engine, back the cars to Baltimore. Droves of horses and cattle, parks of artillery, munitions of war, grain. bay, and al! the requisites for the support of a grand ermy, flood through the gates or across the plain, ‘while army wagons crawi in among the mountains of freight and ambulances go ‘‘bobbing around”’ in every direction. Yesterday thirty car loads of cattle in one train, a large drove of horses, together with freight, arrived, notwithstanding the bad ‘weatber A guard is much needed to protect the bay which !s deposited along the track and imme- diately surrounded by hogs and cattle, which luxuriate in fine timothy at the expense of ‘Uncle Sam,” in an alarming manner. More is wasted than eaten in this way, and a bale of hay very soon disappears Weitz Hovsz —Improvements are constant! being added to the conveniences of this establish- ment, and under the vigilant care of its superin- tendent kept in excellent order, notwithstanding the droves of meddiesome urchins who swarm like files about the premises. Yesterday a lore number of visitors inspected the institution. and the decision of all was *capital,” ‘just the thing,” while all wondered that no such provision bad beea made before. In addition to the splendid baths, wash troughs have been arranged open tue platform along the side of the building, into which Potomac water bas also been introduced, thereby affording ample accommodations for troops to wash, without running about after a basin or quarreling around a pump. At first the army of cake and milk venders was legion, and there was apparently no checking the istent merchants, whp beset every door and corner, anxicus to minister to the wants of the “dear sogers."? The superintendent posted a few “ reg- ulars”’ thereabouts, who very soon opened the eyes of the throng to a proper regard for order. Sunpay Sport tn Soap ALLEY —Soap alle ° into G and H, between Sixth and Sevent! prs. Ih and bas been in days past quite a notorious resort of the “‘rougbs,” black and white, the patrons cf the old police. Since the new system and the opening of Prather’s alley, the fame of Soap alley bas been transferred to Pratber’s Re- cently the denizens of ‘-Soap”’ have made an effort to reéstablisb its old reputation, and have been so successful that Pratber’s hides its diminished bead Yesterday afternoon a free fight was cot up for the amusement of the alley, in which white, black, male and female were engaged, and sticks, bricks, fists, &c., &c., were freely used It lasted a considerable time, and ended through the prrties getting too tired to continue the sport. It will be a place deserving the especial attention of the new police when on duty. Rewtzr Fuxp.—While the Northern cit!es are oviding sustenance and comforts for the needy milies of volunteers. we regret to see that nosuh steps have been taken berefaside from the action of the municipal authorities and the benevolence of private individuals This bas not arisen, how- ever, from any lack ofsympatby for the defenders of our Capital, but has resulted from a want of © action. Many of our most wealthy and influential citizens are ready and anxious to give liberally for such an object, and would enzage heartily in any movement for the relief of ke farailies of our soldiers, many of whom are in de- pendent circumstances, were the initiative steps once taken. It is to be ho; that leading citi- zens will take the matter in hand. up.—Last evening as Mr. Kloman, with children, and accompanied bya friend, were driving down the avenue the axletree broke when near Third street, and the horse becoming frightened ran off dragging the ca re ata rapid rate. Mr Kloman threw out bis children, fortunately witbout hurting any, and succeeded in eapieg himself before reaching the foot of Capitol Hill. Here the borse ran aside in amon; tbe marble blocks overturning the carriage fon | completely demolishing the top and otherwise injuring the vebicle. At this Place the horse ‘was caught and secured before he could extricate bimeelf from the wreck, having suffered no in- jury except a slight in ankle. AcciDENT.—Saturday night about nine o’clock, Mr. Jobn H. King, of Albion, Orleans county, N. Y., a member of Twenty-seventh Regiment, att mpted to mount his horse, at the Rugby House, corner of Fourteenth and K streets, only succeeded in getting one foot in the stirrup when ‘he animal ran ng . the dis- tance of nearly a square, towards Thirteenth street.

Edwin M. Stanton,who ‘was Attorney General of the United States at the time when the said commutation was granted, bas stated to me in writing that the case of the siid Ludam A. Bargie was very carefully ex- amined by bim as Attorney General, and he was entirey satisfied that thesaid Bargie was illegally and improperly convicted: “* And whereas the said Ludam A. Bargie has now served out one-balf of his term of imprison- ment in the common jail: “ And whereas nineteen members of the Senate of the United States, together with a large number of highly respectable citizens of the District of Columbia, bave earnestly besought me to extend to him the Executive clemency: “* New, therefore, be it known that 1, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of Ameri- ca, in consideration of diversother good and suf- ficient reasons me thereunto moving, do hereby grant unto him, the said Ludam A_ Borgie, a full and unconditional pardon,” &c., &c. Fast Boys.—This morning the Provost } sent to Justice Donn three boys, the old over fourteen years. They watched an oppor- tunity and entered into the quarters of the United States troops on E street, near Sixth, and stole a number of pistols from one of the rooms. Four pistols were taken from one, two from another, and one was picked up where it bad been drop, by one of the boys. eral pistols are yet iniss- ing, which way be in the possession of other boys who were not caught. The names of the boys are Geo. Rawlings, Daniel Branahan and Clarence Johnson, and although so young. they are not unacquainted with the police officially.
