Tur Youno Men's Curistian Association — ‘The regular monthly meeting of this association was beld at the rooms on Monday evening, and ‘opened with reading a portion of Scripture, sing- ing 2 hymn, and prayer by Rev. Henry C. West- ‘wood, pastor of Union Chapel. The report of the President noticed briefly the general operations of the association during the past month: That though free from debt, with the rent paid to date, there was no money in the treasury, and that the appeal made to thechurches had as yet only in part been responded to in con- tributions; that the mission schools held at 3 P- m. were well attended, even on the last Sabbath, bat much in want of permanent male teachers, especially that at the corner of Sixth and N street, and that op First street east, south of the Capitol; that the missionary, who had accepted and even come to the city to enter upon his work, had, while on a visit to Philadelpbia for medical advice, been prostrated by an attack of typhoid fever. and had, in consequence, resigned the @ppointment, «nd that the superintendents of di- Vistons bad since corresponded with another. who, on account of existing engagements and the inadequacy of the salary to support his family. bad declined; that through arrangements recently made the reading-room is now supplied with a much larger number than heretofore of the best newspapers ‘rom different and distant partsof the country, and that this attractive feature would be greatly extended, the number of religious week- ates having also been increased; that during the iast month more new members had sought admis- sion than in any previous month of the current year, and the anticipation was expressed that the number admitted during the next month would equal that during the several past months of the ear, the activity of actual members being all that = some necessary to secure this desirable re- sl . The distribution of copies of the sacred Serip- tures from the depository of the Bible Society, No. 498 Seventh street, had extended to forty dif ferent regiments and hospitals, amounting during the month to 435 copies, and en aggregate since May last (when it was undertaken by the super- intendea: divisions at the request of the Wasb- = Bible Society) of 12,962 volumes. bution of books, tracts, and p:pers ai from room No. 22, Post Office Department, west wi had during the last month been superin- and c jucted almost exclusively bythe Rev. Mr. Alvord, Secretary of the American Tract Society, Boston. The distributions for the month were 491 packages of material furnished by the society = named, consisting of large books for hospitals—regimental and generai— small books, tracts, and papers, embracing 36,117 copies of the Christian Banver, distributed gen- erally 100 copies to 2 regiment, and costing inthe Sggregate $797; 61 packages containing books and tracts furnished by the Massachusetts Sab- bath School Society, and one package from the Sunday School of the Ist Independent Presby- terian Church, Philadelphia, had 2lso been dis- peated ere bert oe Moaguee These various pac! principally made up at the room, and partly by friends at home, had gone to the supply of hospitals, ships, and encam: its. Twolarge boxes of hospital supplies and comforts, valued at 8600, had been received and mostly distributed ‘The circuiar of the “ Christian Commission,” recently received, was presented, and passed to the District committee of the Commission, con- sisting of Rev.

A targe and valuable box of hospital! supplies and comforts, such as pillows, sheets, Dlankets quilts, towels, bandages, &e., &c., trom kind lends at home, in Amsterdam, N. Y., had just arrived, addressed to the Caris:ian Commission, of which the parties for whom intended had been duly notified. An address was subsequently made by Rev. Mr Alwood, who gave a most inleresting account of his many visits in encampments, also to Fortress Monroe and to Annapolis He presumed 200.000 men had been supplied from this Depository during the month with some portion of valuable truth in the printed page ¢ bad also been re- es oeek oem to preach the Gospel, and ‘om the large numbers in attendance, as well as the solemn stillness and attention and the expres- sions of anxious individuals, was ied to conciude that the truth was having its appropriate effect on many minds. Remarks were also made by superintendents of divisions and others; among them an appeal by one of the teachers of Mission School No 1, atthe corner of Sixth and N street, for more male teach- ers. A brother from Philadelphia having expressed 2 desire that the meetings might be more Gequest than once a month, it was resolved to adjourn to Saturday evening at7 o’clock,a baif hour previous to the Biblical lecture, for the Purpose of mutual conference, and the admission of new members.

To many it might seem thata Smithsonian lecture and a lecture at the Smithsonian was much the same thing, but in id Mr. P. with ironical inflection—there is an immeasurable difference between the Smith- sonian Institution lectures and those ef this course.

The argument of bis lecture, however, ran in the same groove as his pi ;—as to when war Is desirable and to be preferred to peace; the inevitable nationality of this le; the danger we incur from foreign interference by mee! in crushing the rebellion; and finally the familiar dogma that to emancipate the slaves is to carry on the war in earnest. He held, however, that if slavery is not got rid of by military necessity its death is yet sure. The sa- gacious slaveocracy saw this. They did not ob- ject to Mr. Lincoln, but the: \w that the doom of slavery was announced in lection. Slavery Is sure to be eliminated from our system either by civil or military process. Mr. Curtis’s lecture was listened to with it interest, and all who heard him would glad) bear bim again, and upon some topic not political. Cannot the Lecture Association manage it? We have had now eight abolition lectures in succes» sion; & ‘ popular course” ought to show 8 little more variety. Camtnat Count —Wm L Norton, alias Wm. L Fieming, the prisoner who, indicted for an assault upon Justice Donn, submitted bis case to the Court on Thursday, was tried yesterday after- noon for the larceny of a revolver and knife from Wm Erskine, and was convicted. The prisoner, who is a tall, sinewy man, with a very unprepossessing face, adorned with a red moustache and goatee, was nervous and watchful during the trial, and directed looks of intense batre rs —— ie a and District Attor- ney Carrington. While the Court was passing sentence upon him in both cases, and speaking of his desperate character as declared by the evidence, he repeatedly attempted to interrupt the Judge, but was checked by the guards. He wes sentenced in the assault case to six months in the county jailand pay a fine rf one dollar; in the larceny case to one years’ impris- onment in the penitentiary, to commence at the end of the term of bis imprisonment in jail. As soon as he was sentenced, Deputy Marshal Phil- lips ordered his removal to jail. As be pro- ceeded from the prisoner’s box to the door in cbarge of the guards, be quite near the District Attorney, when he denounced that officer in a low voice, but ina very bitter manner. All breatned freer as he was taken from the room. The prisoner previous to his arrest on the charge of larceny, wasa night watchman at the ‘Treasury Department, having been for some time before that a volunteer. The grand and petit jurors were dismissed to Monday next, to which time the Court adjourned. CantRaL GuarpHouse Caszs, Jan 24 —Before Justice Walter — Peter Vohmeier, drunk; fined $2.

To the ‘wo only points ly Which it vouchsafes, I would t—First, that whilst we do stand greatly in need of a High Scheol to crown our system and point the hopes of ingenuous youth to the opportunity of something better than common school education, the duties which a Superintend- ent in the present state of the schools would per- form have been ail along cheerfully and fairly discharged by Committee and Sub-boards of the School Trustees, without cost tothe City Tress- ury. Toemploya eyes 4 now, atan ex- pense which would all but suffice for the support of a High School, would be a waste of money at 8 time very inopportune for the increase of our mu- cipal burdens; a matter, by the way,about which nobody connected withthe ‘National Republi- can’ can be expected to care, the conductors haviog Httie or'uo syeopathy with lis pespie, as v ttle or no sym: iy wi people, as the article I am noticing abeodantivy shows. “Secondly, if our Boards of Trustees have de- generated into the ‘unmitigated humbugs’ so delicately insinuated by the National Republican, as to necessitate the ae pongo of a Superinten- dent, something should be known in advance about the ial qualifications of the individual on whom the new office is to be conferred. for it will be difficult to find anybody at this time of day so verdant as to suppose that all the strategy which has been ex to create this place was set on foot without having somebody in full view to take it; and who, we may be sure, can be safely reckoned upon to conduct it in a way conforma- bly to the notions of the National Republican. ‘Some inkling of the designs entertained by the conductors of that paper and the party of which it is the organ, may be derived from its significant allusion yesterday to the subject of fature negro schools in Washington, in which the too-impatient abolitionist is admonished -to wait a little longer,’ (the italics are not mine,) and his wishes sball be gratified. More than probably this Is a cherished part of the great ‘blending’ movement which was so eainestly commended to his parishioners by the Rev. W. H Channing, at the opening of his ministerial career in the Federal Metropilis. A School Superintendent, properly indoctrined with ‘progress,’ and ‘reform,’ might, indeed, be no inefficientagentin bringin about a grand final ‘blending’ of white an colored children in our public schools. This would, undoubtedly, when attained, be a long and strong step towards a further and more in- timate biendln, » contemplated, as aforesaid, and which bas Faairectiv. at last, received the approval of the National Republican.”” If we are not mistaken in our guess as to the identity of “Lookout,” he is likely to prove an ugly customer to any unfortunate wight who shall attempt to break a Jance with bim upon educa- tonal matters in the District of Columbia.

Epitor or tux Stan: We see by the reports from Justice Reaver’s office that we are published as being fined for doing business without license. We deny that, as an unmitigated falsehood. The facts in the case are these: One of the dealers in the market here was warranted for not having license. The warrant was tried before Justice Reaver. The dealer produced the same license that we hold. The justice decided they were Heense, and dismissed the case. In the course of 8 few hours the same dealer was warranted again upon the same charge; and. without any further evidence, the same justice, Reaver, decided they were not license, and fined him. Now that the citizens may see the imposition attempted upon some of the dealers in the market, we insert the license which we hold, and the only kind of license that bas been required of the dealers in this market for the last twenty years: ‘License is heyeby given G.
