tf0n In Nesc York.
New YORK, Feb. 20.
At an adjourned meeting of the committee
for the celebration of the Union victories, held
this afternoon, Moses Taylor in the chair, the
following were appointed committee on res
olutions: Charles P. Daily, George Opdyke
Hamilton Fish, Henry Hilton, Edward Pierre
pont, VIM. NJ Evarts, VIM. F Allen, Elliot f.
Sheppard and Prosper Wetmore.
The committee reported the following, which
were unanimously adopted:
ResolUed, That the solemn pledges given to
the government by the people of the city OF
New York assembled in Union Square on the
goth of April, 1861, have been redeemed with
fidelity and honor, and that after four years of
bloody conflict the majesty Of the laws
has been indicated and the national banner
restored to the soil of every State in revolt, it
is fitting and just that upon the same spot the
tidings of victory should be mingled with the
acclamations OF a grateful people.
Resolued, That since the cities of New Or
leans, Memphis, Vicksburg, Nashville, Savan-
nah, Columbia, Charleston and Wilmington,
freed from the terrors of the insurgent army,
have again been received under the protecting
care of the government, it is our duty to teach
them by example and acts of kindness that it is
safer and wiser to obey the law than to spurn
it's control. f# AL
Resoloed, That the people of the city of
New York do hereby invite the cooperation
of every loyal municipality in the Union to
unite in a general celebration of the successes
Of the Union armies, on Saturday, the 4th of
March ensuing at midday, that by the sound of
cannon, the ringing of bells and the uprising
of the voices of the people the national heart
may be made glad, and gratitude and honor be
rendered to the gallant men who have pre-
served the life of the nation.
The committee of arrangements for the
grand celebration on the 4th of March will be
in constant session during the week at the As
tor House. All communications relative to
the military parade and civic procession, tele-
graphic dispatches from other cities, and other
matters relative to the details of the celebra-
tioD, may be addressed to Col. Frank E. Howe,
Secretary OF the committee of arrangements.
Civil societies, public bodies, private manufac-
turing and individual establishments with their
emblems of trade and commerce, are invited
to unite in this patriotic demonstration. The
wolkmen of New York are expected to form
a marked feature of this occasion. There will
also be .cavalcade of citizens. In face the
celebration is expected to be an imposing
pageant and fit tribute to the triumph of
our army and navy.

any attempt to ALLEVIATE capital from labor, or
to place them in antagonistical positions. On
the contrary, the objects of the Association as
defined by some OF the speakers, were to estab-

two, and to devise means to improve the
moral, social and intellectual conditions of
working men,-claiming it as their right to
adopt all means, whether political or other, as
calculated to produce these ends. All of which
no sensible man will deny.

THOMAS CHALMERs.--The lecture of Rev.
Mr.. Bolies last evening, in the new church in
Congress Square, on the Life, Character,
Ministry and Influence of Thomas Chalmers,
the great Scotch divine, was one of the best
things we have ever listened to. Chalmers
was the champion of religious liberty, the
pioneer in social reform, the organizer of pub
lie charities, the indeatigable pastor, the elc-
quent preacher, the scientific theologian, the
pure-hearted yet humble Christian, and his
history was sketched in way that must have
touched the heart Of every listener.
Owing to the darkness of the evening and
the bad condition of the streets, the house was
but little more than half filed, and we heard
many expressions in favor of the repetition of
the lecture on a more favorable occasion.

Cox. Cox to follow its garrison TO Wilmington
while Gen. Terry followed Hoke on the east
side OF the river. The latter took mp new
line four miles from Wilmington, but was so
closely pressed by Gen. Terry that he could
send no troops to the west side. On that side
the rebels made stand behind Town creek,
but on the Goth Cox crossed his troops below
them on fiat boat, attacked them in the rear
and routed them, taking two guns and 300
prisoners.
On the 21st, Cox pushed to the Brunswick
river, opposite Wilmington, where the bridges
were on fire. On his arrival, the rebels began
burning the cotton and resin in the city, and
left 1t that night.
Our captures, including Fort Anderson,
amount to about 700 prisoners and thirty guns
