An attractive entertainment. me of Youno Mzn’s Cuaistian Assoctation.—The regular monthly meeting of this association was held in the rooms on last Monday evening. ‘After the usual epening-exercises, the President presented his report, expressing thankfulness that notwithstanding the commotions, embarrass- ments and apprebensions during several of the earlier months of the year, the association had been rved from internal distractions, and been permitted to prosecute with some measure of success its efforts for usefulness, adopting such plans as a] best suited to the extraordinary circumstances by which it has been surrounded, so that now, as we approach the end of its year, the prospect is auiguiber more satisfactory than at the beginning. The Sabbath schools connected with the asso- ciation were reported in a flourishing condition, especially No. 1, at the corner of Sixth and N end No. 2, on First street east, near B south, though both are in want of male teachers. No. 4, or Western, is still suspended for want of a suitable room. The finances of the Association were reported in a sound condition, for though the treasury is without funds to carry on a number of undoubt- = enterprises, yet it is happily free from bt. An important measure was, on recommenda- tion, adopted at the last meeting of the board of Tan: relative to religious newspapers and Periodicals, by which one paper and one periodi- val, recognized as the representative organ of each of the several denominations united in the Association, will be regularly received and filed in the reading room. in addition to these, dona- tions, by members, of religious and literary pub- Ueations, were and urged The department of newspapers had recent! ‘deen greatly improved, and would soon be further ted men! - The superintendents of divisions, under the authority of the Association, had recently invited @ young minister of the Gospel to become a special missionary of the Association, instead of the one prostrated by disense, and had reason shortly to anticipate a favorable response. Im- | sc and Immediately accessible fields of use- news were also indicated for all the members who have a mind to the work, praver meetings being now om re | maintained by a number of detachments of U.S. soldiers, and copies of the sacred Scriptures, and religious truth in other forms, gladly received; while the evident increase and diffusion of — interest and influences are —- encouraging. The distribution of thesacred Scriptures through superintendents of divisions, in codperation with ebaplains and others, during the tt month, from the Depository of the Bible Society, No. 496 Seventh street, amounted to 297 copies, and since May last to an aggregate of 13 249 volumes. ¢ distribution of books, tractsand papers from the depository, Room No. 22, west win; Post Office partment, had been conducted, with even more system and greater success than poo ecary od yee w. aie —— aes can Tract ', Boston ; separate pac including more 30,000 copies of the Christian Banner, Loving been dispatched from that room during the four weeks. A pro) ition to hold a prayer meeting in the rooms at 7 o’clock every Saturday evening, for half an hour immediately preceding the Bibiieal lecture, regarded as very important in view of the coming of a special missionary, and the meet- ings and efforts already alluded to, was proposed and subsequently acquiesced in. After the transaction of some business, the Rev. E. W. Syle, rector of Trinity Church, being | pe ‘was invited to address the meeting. In he course of his remarks he referred to the evi- dent necessity for making some provision for the moral wants of large numbers of youth and boys now found in this city—etther a house of e vision—and or some other at bis. wacggation he following ‘esoln'\on was unan' pted Resolved, That this meeting refer to the super- intendents of divisions for their consideration the subject of establishing without delay a 1 house or home for ro Rotem others a same class.

Mile Taxine THE Rancue —Yesterday afternoon, a ral fight occurred ata notorious ranche in jates’ Alley, which has given so muck trouble to the police for seme wee! ast, in which fight the soldier boys were particularly prominent, and the fighting girls figured extensively. Patrolmen Crown, Pendle and Frazer made a descent on the and captured all hands, and conveyed them tothe Fourth Ward station, where their names were registered as Geo. W. Corcoran, N. B. Turnbull, Sergt.S. A. Hunter, Wm Handley, Wm. Gi , Molly Elliott, Caroline Schneider, Jarboe, Lizzie McManus, Emma Nelson and Sis Coombs. At the station-house they were almost as noisy and riotous as in the , but were finally cooled down by the judicious man- agement of Sergeant Cronin. The man Hunter, by some means, maneged to break the lock from the cell in which he was placed, and got out, and then broke the locks from the other cells and re- leased his comrades, but they had not got out of the celi range before they were discovered and ain secured. About haif-past 7 o’clock last ‘bt Justice Walter went to the station-house, the men were brought out and put in irons, S else nis torein ahthoee a4 . The women sent to ither as witnesses or par- original offence. The rict, it is ssid, grew ont of an assault upon one of the girls with &@ pistol by one of the men.

Bocrsrinccoves OUR MILITARY BUDGET. ———~—+ THE SURRENDER OF NASHVILLE The news of the surrender of Nashville, which comes to us via Richmond to-day, finds credence in military circles. It is known here that our fleet of mortar boats, gunboats, transports carrying troops, &c., to which Clarksville was surrendered without firing a shot, were to proceed up the river to as near Nashville as they might be able to get. The state of the river was such as that, {f meet- ing no serious military obstacles, they could soon lay that city in ashes. The nearest point to Nash- ville, from which we have telegraphic communi- cation to Washington, is Bowling Green—per- hapsa hundred miles from Nashville It is very possible that we could not have heard through the Union means of communication, from our fleet and army that went up as far as Nashville, as late by two or three days as can be heard via Richmond and Fortress Monroe CONGRESSIONAL.

Hale and Pomeroy, the former against and the latter for it, adoption Hovss —M. R. Conkling offered a resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Generals Halleck and Grant for the victories planned and executed by them in their respective divisions In explanation of his resolution, Mr. Conkling said he desired to have the country know who deserved the credit for the late victories in the West, and that the thanks of Congress should be given to thove who were directly the authors of our successes, instead of to those who it was assumed had planned them at a distance Messrs. Cox and Kellogg opposed the spirit and exclusiveness of the resolution, taking the ground that credit was due principally to the Commander- in-Chief of the army, to the skill of whose plans the victories were due. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. 8 ee LATE LOCAL NEWS. ——— A Tarmenpovs Gate—Churches Blown Down Houses Unroofed, and thenMuschicf to Pay Gen- erally.—The lowering clouds and dense fogs pre- vailing were displaced this morning ina hurry by a violent northwest wind, which speedily in- creased to a tornado-like gale, which commenc- ing with flags, signs, chimuey-stacks and street furniture, soon went on to demolish dwelling- houses and eburch edifices, as if they had been made of pasteboard. Such flags as were not speedily drawn in were very soon whipped into ribbons, and it was deemed expedient not to hoist the flags on the nate and House of Representatives upon the embling of those bodies, as at such an eleva- tion the wind would probably be sufticiently strong to carry away the flagstaff. The skylights of the Congressional library were demolished, owing to the inadequacy of the roof, whieh per- mits the wind to get between it and the skylights, forcing out the beautifully-ornemente? glass, and rendering the library unsafe for visitors. “The rattling of the roofs over the Senate and House rendered the transaction of business difficult, and caused no little alarm among the timid in the galleries. Several houses were blown down south of the Capitol, and a number of roofs torn off in various parts of thecity. The roof of the Washingion Gymnasium was ripped up, and the roof of the house of Mr. Adams, on Four-and-a-half street, above the avenue, demolished. An alarm of fire was raised at the latter place, and upon the ar- tival of the engines it became necessary for the poice to interfere to prevent a deluge of water eing red in upon the farniture Trin! Church,on Third and C streets, was damaged to some extent in the upsetting of one or two wooden pinnacles on the towers, and the throwing down of one of the small brown stone blocks from the front, and a portion of the roof ‘was also broken. The water in the Potomec was lashed into a perfect foam, the waves dashing furiously over the Long Bridge andthe wharves. At the wharf of the Lunatic Asylum, against which the wind had along sweep, the water frequently dasbed to the height of 30 feet, completely submerging the timbers. A schooner which bad anchored off the Arsenal dragged six anchor: dd drifted ashore, aud considerable damage wes done to other ves- sels, lying atthe wharves. The steamers were compelled to cesse running, anda freight train coming up from Alexandria could with difficulty make its way Se the gale About noon it was noticed that the lofty steeple upon the Thirteenth-street Baptist Church (where Rev. Dr. Sampson bas been oii iating) was sway- ing fearfully. 11 foally was blown down, and its weight and the massive bell entirely crushed the roof and side walls, leaving the front and east walls standing. The fine organ of the churc Presumed to be uninjured, from the appear of the walls where {t stands, but of this there is no certainty, a8 no one has cared to venture among the ruins tosee. The steeple wes 161 feet high from the roof. The damages here are estimated at not less than $12 000. The north wall in its fall crushed tte back building of the fine dwelling on that side be- longing to Mr. 8. Masi, aud occupied by the family of Mr. Smart. The damage to the house and furniture is considerable, but fortunately none of the family were hurt. The metallic roof upon the dwelling on Four- teenth street, opposite Willards’, belonging to Mr. G. H. Plant, was lifted from its place, but ‘was immediately replaced by some fearless work- men From residents in the northern part of the city we learn that the damage to property bas been considerable. They report that the roof of the public school corner of Q and Fourteenth streets ‘was blown off, and the side of Ginnity’s store, on Fourteenth and L streets, was blown down. Many large and beautiful shade trees are thrown down, and portions of tin roofs, roof gutters, signs, &c., are found atgreat distancesfrom their original positions. THE Fonerat oF Wittis Lincotn.—The De- partments were all closed to-day in co! uence of the arrangements for the funeral of William Wallace, second son of President Lincoln. His remains were placed in the Green room at the Executive mansion, where this morning a great many friends of the family called to last look at the little favorite, who had endeared him- self te all the guests of the family. The body was clothed In the usual every-day attire of youths of his age, consisting of pants and jacket, with white stockings and low shees—the white collar and wristi being turned over the black cloth of the et. The countenance wore a natural and id look, the only signs of death being a slight discoioration of the features.

FOOTE OFF ON ANOTHER EXPE- DITION pens [Special Dispatch .j BaLtimone, Feb 2, 1562.—Editor Star: I have just conversed with several of the officers released. from the Richmond prisons, who reached bere this morning via Fortress Monroe Among those who bave thus come are Colonels Coggswell and William Reymond Lee, Major Revere, Surgeon Revere, and « host of others All of them appear in excellent health, notwith- standing the unexampled hardships of their late protracted cruel imprisonment I learn on authority upon which you may surely rely that 2 few minutes before be left Richmond, on the day before yesterday, Col. Wm. Raymond Lee, of Mass, was called on by a distinguished and important Confederate public personage, who bad previously befriended him, who in- formed Col. L. tbat half an hour previously the rebel government had received positive informa- tion by telegraph from Nashville, or the nearest telegraphing station to that city, announcing the surrender of Nashville to our gunboats and troops Col. Lee himself does not doubt the correctness of this account thus given to bim, because of the bigh character of his informant and his opportu- nities of knowing wMat news the government of Jeff? Davis had received Col. Corcoran is to beset at liberty and brought North immediately. One of the returned prisoners, an officer, wit- nessed the inauguration of Jeff Davis on Satur- day. He describes it as resembling a funeral, rather than a Presidential inauguration. There was no enthusiasm manifested. A few of the most ardent traitors attempted at the close of bis speech to get up a clapping and burrabing, but the attempt was so poorly responded to by the most of those present, as that Jeff and his immediate crowd were evidently taken aback by the refusal of the people to be jolly, situated as they were. I leara from the returned officers that » Union organization, numbering three thousand e*ective men, exists in Richmond and Manchester, of whom the secession leaders stand in great dread. it is composed princ!pally of mechanics and la- boring men, and bas its head and front among the manufacturing and coal-mining operatives o7 Manchester. Howell Cobb came down to Fortress Monroe with the flag of truce that brought them out of Secessia. His errand is nominally that of acom- missioner to this Governinent to negotiate rela tive to the future exchange of prisoners. Our returned prisoner-ofticers, however, believe that he is the bearer of some, so far, secret com- munication from the whipped-out Jefiites, to be offered by them in the hope of saving their necks from the traitor’s balter—from the leaders in the rebellion. He landed at Fortress Monroe and bed an interview with Gen’l Wool before my inform- ant left there. These returned prisoners came up here under charge of Col. Cram, U.S.A, who bas alrendy gone on to Washington The principal points of Jeff's inaugural were, that the Insurrection must succeed eventually, as Europe would in the end interfere by force to get American cotton; next, that secesh’s late reverses, though hard to bear, would be of great advantage in the end by nerving the rebels to greater exer- tions and sacrifices; and, next, that the United States could not possibly coatinue the war much longer for want of money COMMODORE FOOTE OFF ON ANOTHER EXPEDITION {Special Dispatch to the Star.)
