McKendree Chapel, between § and 9 o’clock, commenced filling up, and by 10 o’clock it was as full as ease and comfort wonld permit. Rev. John Thrush, pastor, and Rey. Mr. Mitch- ell were present, and after sivging and pray- er, Rey. Mr. Thrush preached a wholesome and appropriate sermon from the 16th yerse of the 5th chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians—~ Redeeming the time because the days are evil”—when he laid down some prac- tical lessons in regard to the proper use of time, with the advice that his hearers adopt them and commence the new year with the de- termination to adhere strictly to them. At Asbury Chapel, corner of Iith and K streetef the colered population was outin force, the church being crowded almost to suffoca-* tion: The singing was very good here. The astor of the church, Rev. James Peck, de- ivered & sermon on the words, ‘ Cry out and shout, theu inhabitants of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee,” from the 6th verse of the 12th chapteref Isaiah; aster which, the congregation was addressed by other preachers present. and the remaining time before 12 o'clock was occupied in singing and prayer. At Wesley Chapel, Rey. Dr. Nadal, pastor, the exercises were opened at e’clock by the Rey. Joseph R. Wheeler, late of Winchester, Va, who preached from the 90th Psalm, 12tn 3 teach us to number our days that y apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Rev. Mr. Stitt, of the Presbyterian Church, at Ha- gerstown, Md., followed in anappropriate dis- course; after which an experience meeting was held, during which several soldiers and others of the congregation spoke in a feeling and im- pressive manner. The singing throughout the evening was congregational, but during an in- terval the Rey. Mr. Stitt, of the Methodist Epis- copal Church, (but now withouta charge,) and 4 resident of this city, sang alone and with fine effect, the hymn beginning— «Come let us anew our journey pursue.” As the clock strack twelve the “Covenant Hymn” was sang by the entire congregation kneeling, with the greatest solemnity. Yesterday (Sunday) atila.m. communion services were held at this church, when tue pastor (Rev. Dr. Nadal,) preached upon the subject of “Redeeming the Time,” taking for his text the 5th verse, 16th chapter of Ephese- ne * Jn the evening six gentlemen and one lady were admitted to membership, and the pastor preached a very interesting sermon to the young people, his subject being “Starting Right” ‘At East Washington M. E. Ohurch (Rey. H. N. Sipes, pastor) a large congregation attended the services peculiar to the incoming of the New Year. The exercises were commenced about 9 o'clock, and from the commencement there was a goodly number present, which was largely angmented by 12 o'clock when the closing exercises took place. Intheabsence of the pastor, Rev. Mr. Haggy preached an ap- propriate discourse from Luke xtii, jth and oth verses. Kev. Mr. Cross followed with an exhortation, and afterwards a considerable time was spentin singing and prayer. Ata few minutes to 12 o'clock Rev. Mr. Pitcher g&ve outthe conyenant hymn which was suug by the congregation on their knees, and the first moments of 1565 having arrived the meet- ing was closed ‘The colored people of the eastern portion of the city also observed the old custom, and at anesriy hour on Saturday night the little church on 4th street (Ebenezer) was well filled by an orderly assembiage. The exercises here were conducted by Revs. D. P. Jones, pastor, Noah Jones and Benj. Gant, local ministers, and were closed in a few minutes past 12 o'clock. Atlsreal Church, south of the Capitol the colored peoyle also assembled to watch the Old Year out and the New Year in,” and the meeting passed off in an orderly munner—Re vs. Mesers. Sluby and Thomas officiating. At Ryland Chapel M. E.(Rey. Mr. Lemon, pastor) there were very interesting watch meeting exercises. This energetic congregation Navy YARD.—Wedneeday afternoon thenew gunboat Saco, just built at the Boston Navy Yard, arrived off Giesboro, oa her way to our Navy Yard for her machinery which has been built by our Washington mechanics, under the superintendence of Mr. George R. Wilson, master machinist. She is under the command ot Lieut. Commander Walker, and is repre- sented to be a very fine boat. She is a propellor of the fourth class and rates nearly six hun- dred tons. The bodies of Acting Master W. H. Smith and one of the crew of the ill-fated Tulip, whose boilers exploded several weeks since nerr Ragged Point,in the Potomac, were re- covered & few days ago, and the body of Capt. Smith was sentto Philadelphia for interment. The body was easily iden'ified, the uniform coat still remaining on it, together with a ring on the finger. One of the legs were broken and the pantaloons were off, he having probably pared them off after getting into the water. aese bodies, strange as it may seem, drifted “trom where the explosion took place about 15 miles to near the place the Tulip left on the morning of the day of the explosion. The double-ender Ascutney is under the hands of Master Carpenter Talbert, who is get- ting her ready to be drawn on the ways. The Bat, formerly a blockade-runner, is still at the Yard, and is to receive some repairs. A new foremast is to be placed mher, and her cabin is to be extended. She is a trim looking Clyde-built steamer, evidently intended to be swift, and those who came round on her aesert that she is one of the fastest vessels in our waters. The mortar schooner Saphronia is nowready for sea, and will probably sail to-day. The Freeborn, Commodore Read, and Currt- tuck are at the Yard, in the hands of the work- men. a Epi10R STAR :—In looking over your issue of a few evenings since, my eyes fell upon & statement made by a Clerk of one of the Gov- ernment Departments, to the effect that he was Affairs in Geergetewn. TSE WATOH MEETINGS.—The old eustom of the Methodist denomination of meeting in their chapels and spending the iast hours of the old and the first of the new year in devotional ex- erciees was not obseryed Iast Saturday night and Sanday morning. Atthe Congress-street Methodist Protestant Church a small congre- gation assembled at & o'clock. But the pas- tor, Rev. Mr. Bowers, announced that the meeting would not be continued till after 12 o'clock, 8s was the custom, bat after a dis- couse and prayer the congregation would be~ dismissed. The discourse was delivered by Rev. J. T. Ward, of Ninth streetstation, Wash- ington, upon the 39th Psehn, and after prayer by Rev. T. Remick the congregation was dis- missed. Tt was rumored that the stewards of the | church intended to present to Rev. Drs. Ball and Samson and Revs. J.T. Ward and Shute a teatimonial of their appreciation of the ser- vice of those ministers in ths recent revival | Meetings which were in progress for several | weeks in thischurch. Many persons intended to atrend at & later hour, expecting to hear ad- dresses from all, The testimonials were pr sented not publicty bet in an unobtrusive manner. The testimonials were in greenbacks placed inenvelopes and directed to each of the recipients, the amount being known only to the stewards and the ministers after delivery. FLovr AND GRAIN MARKET.—This morning, the boats Knode and Elder, from Mercersville, and the Ellen, trom Sharpsville, arrived with flour and grain. No sales are reported. Flour continues steady as last reported. Demand moderate, to supply the city trade. For wheat the demand is active, and sales are reported at an advance of about 5 cents per bushel over last quotations, for good red. CicsED—All the offices for the transaction of public business are closed and business en- tirely suspended for the day. a FourTtH Warp Station Casxs.—John Douglas, drunk and disorderly; dismissed. receiving & salary of $1,6(4) per annum, which be found it very difficult to maintain his fami- ly (four in number.) Now, if you will favor an honorable Govern- ment Clerk with a short space in the columns of your valuable sheet, I will disclose a still more wonderful fact. In the Office of the Navy Ordnance Yard, there are employed steadily at the desk, “from bell ring in the morning until sunset,” eight clerks, the pay that these men are receiving ranges (with the exception of the chief clerk,) from $2 to $3 per day, subject to deductions for all loss of time, “sickness notexcepted.”” With few exceptions they are men of families, and who have upheld and defended the great prin- ciples of the present administration for years. ‘The business transacted at that Office brings into requisition qualifications which are both expensive and laborious to acquire, and which surely demands better compensation, and I think that if Congress has the power to remedy this matter, they would be doing a just and good act.

Dr.Garnett the pastor of the church, commenced the exercises by reading the 100th Psalm. “Before Jehovah's Awfal Throne” was finely sung by choir And audience. The reading of the 14th Psalm, and prayer fol- lowed: and after the singing of another psalm, Hon. S. ©. Pomeroy, United States Senator from Kansas, was introduced, Sad gave & long and interesting address on the subjectof eman- cipating the colored slaves in the United States, and stating that he had told Dr. Garnett, twexty-two years since, that before he (the spesker) would be fifty years old slavery would be abolished. Mr. Pomeroy alluded to many facts of history in his discourse which were interesting in,connecticn with his subject. The meeting was addressed by several other speak- ers, and continued until a late hour. eee CLEANING OUT THE WATER Pirgs.—Satur- day night, pursuant to notice given through the various city papers, the water from the Potomac reservoir was shut off, and the pipes cleansed. The fire plugs were opened at about eight o'clock, and shut off between the hours ot fourandseven Sunday morning. The water in the plugs was found to be very thick and yellow, indicating the settlement of yellow clay in the pipes,even at the highest eleva- tions of the city. The Superintendent ot Po- lice, feartul that incendiaries would take ad- vanlage of the cleansing of the pipes and slack of the water to do mischief, ordered the police to pay especial cttention to the plugs through- cutthe city. Several of the sergeants and the chief engineer of the Fire Department were is making great efforts to complete their fine new church edifice, and are holding an inter- esting fair, amongst other means to that end. The new Ryland Chapel will be acredit to that part of the city when completed according to the handsome design. . At the Church of the Ascension, on H street north, (Protestant Episcopal,) on New Year’s eve, the old-fashioned *watch-meeting” was adopted, we believe, for the first time in this city, by that denomination. An instructive discourse was delivered by Rev. Dr. Pinkney to a large and attentive audience, and there going around all night, seeing the plugs prop- erly attended. and were pleased in the morn. ing to hear trom every officer the report, ‘all sale.” ACCEPTABLE Vi8IT. ev. Dr. Gillette, pas- torin charge of the First Baptist Church, re- ceived on Friday night last a surprise visit by the lady members of his congregation and ethers, when several eloquent speeches were delivered, after which Rev. Dr, Gillette was unexpectedly presented from his visitors, through the hands of Dr. Samson, a well-fliled purse, @id Dr. Samson was served in like man- ‘Was some fine singing by the ehoir and congre- ation. . Galbright Chapel, M. E., (colored,) on L street, between ith and 5th, was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the greatest interest was manifested by allpresent. The exercises here were the same as at the other Methodist Churches, Dut were contiuned until a much later hour.” At 9 o’clock the Rev. John Wil- liams, pastor of the church, preached an ex- cellent sermon, suitable to the occasion, and was followed by several of the male members ofthe congregation who made some very time- ly remarks. This church is without a choir at the present time, but the singing by the con- gregatior was very fine. At other Methodist Churches of the City and District, and at several of the hospitals, the in- mates, of the Methodist persuasion, assembled in the chapels, where they “kept watch,” and devoted the time to singing and praying. On Sunday, New Year’s services were held in many of our city churches, Georgetown and Alexandria, and the Lord's Supper was partaken of by the members of the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian,and some other churches. oe MISSIONARY MEETING.—Yesterday, a mis- sionary meeting was held at Waugh Chapel, (corner north A and 3d streets, Capitol Hul,) which was largely attended and resulted in collections and subscriptions amounting to nearly #3°0—one hundred of which was col- lected by the Sunday School. At llo’clock a large congregation was present, when Rev. Bishop Scott preached an able sermon on the destiny ef the church, at the close of whicha handsome collection was raised. The pastor, Rey. Mr. Oornelius, announced that the Sun- day School would give $50 towards making the Bishop a life director of the Missiouary Society, and in a very shor! time the balance required—#100— was raised. At 3 p.m., the Sunday School held their Missionary meeting, which was addressed briefly by the Bishop and at considerable Jength by Hon. Mr. Willey, Senator from Wes: Virginia, and a handsome amount was raised. During this meeting the scholars sang several beautiful pieces of music with fine effect. At 7 o'clock, Bishop S.ott again preached from Matthew 5, Ith to 16th verse, on the duties of the christisn, after which, with but litue effort, over 860 was raised. This collection is a very Bandsome one—abont i00 per cent. more than was raised by thts charge last year for the missionary cause —for Unis charge bemg not a large one numerical.f, and is composed mostly of working men and their families — Aw Hzrore LycipeNT—Among the passen- gers on board the steamship North America, which foundered at sea on the 22d of lastmonth, ler, (formerly an actress She was bringing home a soldier) from New Orleans, who bad been lying ill there for some time in hos- pital.

The party then sat down to a table leaded with good things, which had been prepared by the ladies of the church, and .which was enjoyed by sll, after which they dispersed much pleased with their evening’s work. ————_—- Stnpay Srrvices.—The Sabbath schools of Washington were all well attended yesterday by the children, who appeared to be delighted and happy, notwithstanding it was a very cold day, and at some of the schools arrange- ments were made for exercises of pleasure and visit to day, some of them intending to visit their pastor2.

E. S. Allen, A. Q. M., at the 6th street wharf, in superintending the river transpor- tation and forage deprriments have been di- vided, and hereafter Capt. Allen, who has conducted these departments with such effi- ciency, (a work grown much too great for any map, however,) will superintend and have the control of the river transportation. Capt. S. A. Lanffer, A. Q. M., this morning took charge of the forage department. Capt. L. is spoken of as an excellent officer. ere CRIMINAL CouRT, Judge Fisher.—On Satur- day, Bertha Brown was convicted of keeping & biwdy house, and fined $200. Geo. Montgomery, convicted ofan assault and battery, received a nominal sentence. Charles Murray, convicted of larceny, was sentenced to the penitentiary for one year. Peter Taylor, convicted of an assault and battery, was sentenced to pay a fine of $15. SS HS ae RAISING THE Winp.—Saturday officer How- 4rd arrested a solder at the Baltimore Kailroad Depot, for @ering to sell his discharge. The soldier gave bis name as Charles Campbell, and was delivered to the military. ‘rhe dis- charge would seem to be of little use to any one besides the party discharged, but bounty jumpers gladly take them and use them fre- quently in escapifig arrest after desertion. a CONTRABAND LODGERS.—Yesterday a num- ber of small colored boys, who have been in the city a few months, applied at the 4th Ward station for lodgings.- They were all from dif- ferent parts of Virginia, large enough to be serviceable.
