organization holds its meetings regularly

decided in the negative. On next Friday

to all who attend. The exercises will
consist of declamations, an Grafton by II.

ASYLUM FOR CONFEDERATE ORPHANS.
1t was announced some weeks ago that q
fair was about to be held i'll Baltimore for
the purpose of establishing in this city an
asylum for the orphan children of Con-
tcdcratc soldiers.
A committee of the society formed for
this purpose, consisting Of Mrs. i. A.
F. Mcars, }. S. Richardson, and +. W.
Spears, is now in this city, seeking loca-
ton for this contemplated institution. AS
yet, no one has offered them lot, and they
will probably apply to the city to donate
the society one of the public squares
either on Church or Shockoe Hill.
The society these ladies represent is
called the Southern Orphans Relief AS
sociation." The fair will he held on the
10th of September next at the Maryland
Institute, and it is hoped that one hundred
thousand dollars will he realized.
AS before stated, this asylum is intended
to extend its blessings to orphans, without
distinction Of religious faith, from all the
southern States.
1t is hoped that such ladies and gentle
men as feel an interest in this most worthy
enterprise will call on the committee at
the Exchange Hotel either to-day or to-
morrow from 10 to IL o'clock A. Nj.
The people of Baltimore have that rare
form of charity that "nerer taileM."

NuIsANCEs.-We deem it our duty to
call the attention of the Board of Health
to every existing cause which may pro-
ducc disease in our city. In the upper
ward, near the corner of First and Mar
shall streets, are some vacant lots, where
on has sprung up n rank growth OF James
town weeds, which have attained the
height of several feet. These weeds af-
ford fine place for the deposit of nui-
sanccs, and we are informed that every
description Of filthy matter has been put
there, raising all intolerable stencil, and
cndangering the health of the ncighbor-
hood. We have been requested by per-
sons residing in the vicinity to call atten-
tion to these facts, and we hope that no
time will be lost in abating the nuisance.
Another place OF deposit, used chiefly
by negroes, is the old Shockoe Warehouse
lot; and there is still another at the cor
ncr of Cary and Tenth streets. Let any
person visit either Of these localities, and
his sense of smell must be very dull if he
does not make haste to get out OF the way.
We are aware that the Board of Health
have done much to improve the sanitary
condition of the city, but there are still
some places which require attention. Too
much care in this respect cannot be taken.

A PoLICEMAN's PANTALOoNs STOLhN.-
The house of Sergeant Cousins, Of the
city police, on Second, near Canal street,
was entered on Friday night, while all the
family were asleep, by some graceless
thief, who purloined the Sergcant's panta-
looms. In the pockets were watch, a
pocket-book and papers, and small
amount of money. Having accomplished
this feat, the thief proceeded across the
street to the house of Mr.. Davis, and stole
his pantaloons and some other garments,
but got nothing else of value. Sergeant
Cousins the next morning found his sus-
penders and papers in Mr.. Davis's back
yard, and Mr.. Davis found an old coat that
had been stolen from him. The remainder OF
the property is still missing.

HusTINGs COURT.-This body closed q
week of arduous labor at late hour on
Saturday night. A number of negroes
were tried for petty larceny, plead
guilty, and were sentenced to stripes and
brief periods Of imprisonment. The CO.
lored people seem to be well satisfied with
this mode of punishment, and hence most
of them plead guilty to the offences with
which they stand charged. Several white
men were also tried for assault and bat
terry, and fined in various sums.
Our reporter made an effort on Satur-
day to examine the record of the days
procccdngs-a privilege which has always
been enjoyed by the press-but was met
by the clerk Of the court with flat re-
flsal. Other reporters found themselves
in the same dilemma so if the public
wish to know more particulars than we
have given above, they must apply to Mr..
Howard.

HEALTH OF THE CITY.-We give below
tho report of the Board of Health for the
forty-eight hours ending last evening at G
o'clock. / will be seen that but one case
of cholera is reported for that period, and
that was Of negro named Henry Roane,
a newspaper carrier, who had been suffer-
ing with diarrhPa, and on Friday night ate
the greater portion of three watermelons,
was taken sick, and died in few hours.
We give this as an evidence of the salu-
brity of Richmond, for if it takes violent
diarrhua and three watcrmelons to kill q
man, our people must certainly be tena-
cious of life.
We understand that the Board of Health,
in view of their proposed increased prepa-
rations for cleansing the streets and alleys
of the city, will tomorrow morning netify
the citizens through the newspapers to
have the garbage on their lots collected
and placed in barrels or boxes convenient
for removal. The Board arc doing all in
their power to preserve the present excel
lent sanitary condition of the city; and
inasmuch as their services are rendered
gratuitously, they are certainly entitled to
the gratitude of the public.
We have heard Of no new cases occur-
ring among the soldiers in the camps ada
cent to this city.

TEH &c OGITANTs.'-A London paper has
got together some curious details of a new Ger
man society, called THE Cogitants,'' which
some think to have been organized by religions
fanatics, others by political revolutionists. The
founder, whose name is given, asserts the
claim OF the Cogitants to perfect knowledge.
dignity, morality, a life of practical worship
and secret which the profane may not pene-
fraie. There are certain principles which the
class of the community chiefly residing at
prisons and reformatories would readily
adopt. No one is to be punished with i'm
prisonment for theft or fraud, or those other
exhibitions of energy in the wrong direction,
which are yulgarly regarded as misdemeanors
or felonies. The Cogitants forbid coffin TO be
buried more than half way in the earth All
thorough Cogitants are to have free and
sumptuous dinner on Christmas day, Easter
Sunday, and Whit Sunday, paid for by the
wealthier members. Strong minded ladies are
to have share in The government Of the
church, which, representing ga religion with
out a confession" ia likely 10 be a peculiar
