DR.. Adam Converse.-Among the refreshing
evidences of freedom lately experienced by the
Abolition population of Philadelphia, is tie
spectacle presented by the seizure by "Marshal
Mllward," "a creature of Lincoln's make o;
the coffee and sppurtenances" of the CAristsa,
Obserrer, Presbyterian journal, owned and
edited by Rev. Adam Converse, D. D., ma
tive of Vermont, but well known in this city
as FORMER resident, where his walk and cen
versation as Christian gentlemen endeared
him to many. 1t is stated in extenuation Of
this outrageous proceeding, that the OJserre,
had been recently repudiated by the New
School Presby.erians, OF account of its pro
slavery prochvities." 1t may be that DR.. Con
verse will be driven by the robbers who hav,
stolen his property to seek an asylum agai,

Granite Paremens.-Tho granite coating
which in some of our streets has taken the
place Of the cobble-stone, is vast improve.
ment on the old style, being far more durable
much neater in appearance, and by 20 means
so liable to DO displaced by the passage Of
heavy vehicles as the kind we have heretofore
been accustomed to. Mr.. Alois Rick, who has
had the contract for putting the granite down
in number of the streets, deserves the credit
of being the first to introduce it to the atten-
ton of the City Council. 1t was at his 50.
licitation that the members Of that body con-
sented to try it as substitute for cobbls-
stone. It will DO used no doubt hereafter in
preference to any other kind of stone, unless,
indeed, orr city should become wealthy and
populous enough to use the square block stone.

Fast Driving.-Too much speed is worse
than none at all. During the month now
drawing to its close a desire to urge their
steeds to an undue degree of swiftness has
been most painfully apparent on tho part Of
the jehu's who have control of the ribbons of
the teams Of high and low degree who navi-
gate tho streets Of Richmond. The many
narrow escapes might have well been made
the subject Of "brief mention" bu. have
been omitted under the idea that the practices
would play itself out quietly. Yesterday the
Mayor ordered Wallace, slave of Mrs. Martha
Howe, sound drubbing for driving q heavy
omnibus against carriage owned by the
Messrs. Woodson, containing lady and in
FAINT child, whose lives were endangered by
the rash act.

Hodges Ne,c Carsridses-A brief allusion
was made yesterday to the newly-invented
cartridge of Col. R. NJ. Hodge, .jr, of Column
bia, Tennessee, trial of which was had at the
Virginia Armory on Monday evening. The
trial suffced to show it to be superior article,
possessing many advantages over the ordinary
cartridge now in use. The rapidty with
which muskes (the arm with which the trial
vas msde) could be fired was truly astonish-
ing. When the ramrod was used six shots
per minute were easily made, and at double
that rate without it. We do not deem it ne
cessary to give details at this time. One OBJ
vious advantage of the cartridge is, that the
charge of powder it contains is always the
same, not grain being liable to be wasted,
whereby the accuracy of the fire is much in
creased. The attention of manu- acturers of
ammunition is called to this invention, which
is very important at this juncture Of our
affairs.

n notice appeared in this column yester day
in which it was asserted that tho privates Of

Irishmen, or French. We have since learn cd
that in each one of the several companies COM

if there be no distinctive German regiments

Iaquest.--An inquest Was held yssterd ~ by
Alderman Sanxay, over the body Of an nm
known man, "a soldier, spparently,) whose
body was found lying dead at the corner of
Grace and 18th streets, near Seabrook's ware
house. The jurors sworn to inquire by what
means the result had been produced, returned
through their foreman Jacob S. Atlee,) the
verdict that he came to his death "by intern
perance and exposure"
The person Of the deceased presented one Of
the most striking features Of the seafarine
habit of emblematic disfguration of the body,
all parts Of which, together with the arms, legs
and feet, were covered with national en-
biems and other devices, representing the U.
States coat of arms, U. States flags, symbolic
figures of tho Goddess Of Liberty, with notices
and letters in capitals, significant of something
known perhaps only to the deceased; bracelets,
with emblems, representations of rings on thu
fingers, and ships fully rugged and in trim for
sail. The identity of the body is so we'll dc.
fined that his friends or connexions who may
by chance happen to see this can ascertain the
certainty of his death. Both of his larger tees
were eff, also some of the smaller ones. Others
remaining were disigured. He represented to
one of the witnesses who had been with him
for several days previous to his death, that he
was a member of the JEFF. Davis Rangers, and
was in the battle Of Manassas, and was wound
ed in that engagement. No one seemed to be
aware Of his name.
