The transports BoEio and Hcs.e,u Metropolis,
rom Fortress Monroe, arrived IN this city, at
Gray's Ferry, early yesterday morning. About
nine hundred sick and wounded soldiers we're
contained in the two vessels, three-qulrtGrs of
whom are colOred troops. They were removed
from the boats by the steamboat Fashion.
These vessels should have been nc GrGy's Ferry
by 3 O'Clock 4. VI. Owing 10 the serious charac-
ter Of most of the cases. they could be removed
but very slowly, and considerable delay was
occlsioned-the firemen being kept in waiting
some time, much 70 the regret Of the Medical

CnJIrrN0.-1he Committee Of the Union
League having in charge the recruiting for the
Siyth Union League Regiment, owing to the
necessary delay in receiving the city bounty, has
adopted plan by which the volunteer can secure
bis money nc once. A recruit, when he is mus
tered into the service, receives a certificate Of the
muster, which is then taken 20 q Provost Mar
shal, where the man is credited to the city and
Ward he may designate. Next the certificate is
laid before the Bounty Fund Commissioners at
the first meeting Of the Board after the certiG-
cate is filed.
The Board meets on Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday afternoons, and each case is carefully
eXamiued as the Commissioners are required TO
account for the proper disposition of che money
appropriated foT the purpose Of avoiding the
draft After the certificate is found to be cor
rect, the warrant is ordered 10 be drawn, and tue
party can secure the money the day after the
meeting OF the Board. The Committee of the
Union League give the recruit the money as soon
as the muster is complete, and then take his
power of attorney and draw the money after the
regular course indicated above has been gone
through with.
Ifa system ike this should be adopted by some
other association with reference to recruits for
the navy, II would facilitate the filling of the
quota. 1t would also destroy the business of the
brokers, who, for the most part, are interested
in filing the quotas Of other States aud counties.
Bney' Sharpsh5oters seem to be very popular,
and MAJOR Moore will succeed in filling the five
companies assigned 10 Philadelphia in less than
the time originally indicated. The menwil wear
a distinctive uniform, and the regiment will be
one OF the best in the service.
sTAHBING ArrNR.-Thls morning. Charles
Lindsay was before Alderman Welding, upon
the charge Of stabbng Thomas seely, at Third
and Chesnut streets, last evening Il seems that
the two men got into a difficulty, when Seely
knocked Lindsay down. The latter drew PEN
knife and stabbed his opponent in the arm, in
ileting painful though not serious wound.
Lindsay was committed IN default Of $500 bail 20
answer at Court.
