Drawing OF the Chicago Art Association,
From Me Chicago Journal, 14th.
Requests come to us from all quarters TO give
the 7nOdtts OpeTQndt of the great dra wing which
will take place next Monday. We have obtained
the following particulars, which will be read
with INTEREST,"
Two wheels are to be used. They are octagon
in form, revolving upon pivots, and are turned
by cranks. The diameter of the large wheel is
405 inches, that OF the smaller one "a inches.
The numbers Will occupy about one.third of the
wheel, and thus leave ample room to silt and
mix them at every revolution.
Two hundred and ten thousand numbers
(irom to 100000, inclusive), representing the
certificates issued will be placed in the large
wheel. These numbers are printed on small
white tickets, made of imperial photograph
board, and are as hard and smooth as metallic
checks
The tickets for the small wheel are prepared
by Writing on similar cards the names of the
premiums, the Opera House on one and each
of the remaining three hundred and one pre-
mums on Others respectively These three
hundred and two tickets thus written are de-
posted in the small wheel.
The numbers having been placed i'm one
wheel and the premiums in the other and the
wheels having revolved a sufficient length of
time to thoroughly mix them, number will be
drawn from one, and premium ticket from
the other, and the holder of that number will
become entitled TO the premium written on the
ticket 1t will, therefore, be seen that the
Opera House may be the last premium drawn
or the first.
1t will be observed that there is a double
chance in this method. If your number hap
pens TO be one of the three hundred and two
drawn from the wheel, you get one of the pre-
mlums-whether the Opera House or q painting
depends upon the chance of the second wheel
which contains the premiums.

A State History OF Our Pennsylvania
Rpgimppfa

Regiments.
SOME two years ago The Legislature passed
law providing for the publication Of
State history of what our Commonwealth
had done In the late civil war. The Gov
ernor selected Mr. Samuel p. Bates for the
performance of the Onerous task of State
historian. That gentleman has sent to the
Legislature report of how the work is pro-
crossing, and the plan on which it is to be
arranged. After examining the field to be
occupied, he has decided to divide the work
into six parts:-
1. A general history OF what the State ac-
complished during the period of the national
troubles, and the material and personal aid
rendered to the General Government for the
successful prosecution of the war, with some
Introductory matter Illustrative of the militia
organization of the State previous to the
breaking out of the Rebellion, of its popula-
ton, its material resources, and the contin-
gencies which forced the General Govern
ment to call out the militia of the several
States.
2. A condensed history of each regiment
embracing an account of its origin, organiza-
ton, instruction, and drill, and its operations
in the field.
3. A complete roll, com rising the name,
age, rank, date of muster into the service,
residence, period of enlistment, casualties,
and final fate, OF every officer and enlisted
man.
a. Biographical sketches of the executive
officers of the Government, officers in the
field, privates who distinguished themselves,
and civilians, both male and female, who rem
dered signal service to the State.
5. A Roll of Honor, composed of the names
OF those who died in the service, with the
circumstances of their death, and place of
burial.
6. An alphabetical index to every name
that occurs in the history.
Money expended by people in preserving
the heroic deeds of their fellow-citizens is not
wasted. There can be no greater incentive
to loyalty, courage, and patriotic devotion
than the perusal of the deeds of our anees-
tors; and when, in the future, our children
shall read the long list of those who have died
for their country, they will be melted to high
deeds, in order that the State pride NAV not
degenerate. We therefore. heartily approve
of the contemplated work. No other State
has as yet taken active steps towards such
compilation. Let the Keystone State be the
first to institute the system. Now is the time
when facts can be secured; but if the task be
postponed for decade, what is now accessible
will be beyond our reach. From the calcula-
tions issued by Mr.. Bates, the clerical work
necessary must be enormous. He stated that
it would take one clerk twenty-one years to
make out the muster-rolls, to say nothing of
the index. We hope the work will be pushed
forward with all convenient speed, and that it
will soon be laid before the survivors of the
dead and the living heroes of our war.

OUR PASSENGER RAILwAYs.-We publish
on the eighth page of THE EVENING TELE-
GRAPH an exhaustive article on the subject
OF the receipts of our city passenger rail
ways, which will be found very interesting in
many ways to our readers. The comparative
tables of receipts OF 1855 and 1855 are full
and concise. These figures have all been
collected with great labor by our local re-
porters, assisted by the officials and employees
otthe various companies, and will be found
mainly correct.

A New Minister TO England.

JUDGE FIELD, Of California, is one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court appointed by
President Lincoln, who has gone over to the
conservatives. He delivered the late opinion
pronouncing the test oath, as applied to law
yers, nconstitutional-a decision which has
opened the doors of every court in the land
to Rebel lawyers. 1t is rumored that David
Dudley Field, a brother ofthiS Judge Field, is
about to be appointed Minister to England.

murder OF two Deputy Sherffs of that county, by
the anne inhuman iendwho assassinated Senator

Grant Indian Massacre.

JUNCTION CRY, February "A man
came into Salira, Kansas, about fifty
miles west of here, on Friday, who re-
ports frightful massacre of white men
by Cheyennes, near the head of the
Smoky Hill. A few days ago, as Wal
lace's train with sixty-three men were in
camp, a party Of fourteen Indians came
begging during the afternoon. The
teamsters refused to give them anything,
whereupon the Indians fired at them, but
without effect The teamsters rnturned
the volley, killing eight Indians.
At clock p. m, their camp was sur
rounded by about two hundred Indians,
who mastered 80 men out of 60. The
man who brought in the report had an
arrow hole through his shoulder, and
another wound in his hip. He says he
is one of the three who escaped. The
train was loaded at this place by Wool
worth & Barton, about the first OF jan
uary.
A party Of Omahas aud Kaws made a
thieving raid upon some Cheyennes a
few days since on the Salina. Several
head of Cheyenne stock were run off and
one Kaw killed
William Comstock, famous interpre-
ter, Government scout and guide, says
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, of the
Arkansas and Smoky Hill, appear
friendly; but that a part of the Northern
Indians are on their way down, whose
march has already been characterized
by murder and plumber. He believes
they mean war;

II Is with much regret that We fnd In
the Carroll Conservative statement Of
the suicide Of VIM. Barrow, one Of the
Oldest and most worthy citizens Of Car
roll county. IL has been our pleasure
to have known Mr., b. for the last twenty
years, and a more worthy or honest man
did not live. He hung himself in his
own gin house, by putting a rope around
his neck and jumping of a cotton bale,
He lost great deal Of property in the
late war, and since the surrender has
tried in various ways to recruit his bro.
ken fortunes, but misfortune attended
him in his every effort, and il is thought
he became partially derauged from this,
and thus ended his life. He leaves n
large family to mourn his loss, and to
one and all of them we tender our heart
felt sympathies.
The Governor, few days ago, re-
ceived a letter from Peoria, Illinois,
informing him that the writer had in his
possession the sword presented by the
State Of Mississippi to Gen. Van Dorm,
and which stolen property he proposed
to restore to the State for the sum of five
hundred dollars. He also informed the
Governor that this price could be OBJ
tanned from other parties, but that he
preferred giving the first chance to the
State. Very considerate, certainly.

NEW ORLEANS RIOTS.
Unexpected Disclosures to the
Riot Investigation" Committee.

The Congressional committee to in
yestigate {? and make a report, to suit,
on the New Orleans riot of last summer,
encountered some evidence during their
visit to New Orleans which was not
down tn the programme. 1t proves, as
we all along suspected, that the Radicals
in Congress egged on the revolutionists.
Special Dispatch to the Boston Post.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. l3-The report of
the House Committee upon the New
Orleans riot will not be introduced for a
fortnight, and may be even deferred
until near the close OF the session. The
report by Messrs Elliot and Shellabar-
ger will include most of the evidence
taken by the committee, and that OF MT.
Bower will introduce the features both of
testimony and observation which the ma
iority report can but ignore to maintain
The consistency of its argument Sew
eral parties who appeared before the
committee in New Orleans as witnesses
are now in this city, and they uni
formly speak in terms OF re-
proach at the indignities that we're
eratuitously offered parties who did
not testify in the Radical interest. For
instance, Moses Greeley, a prominent
resident of New Orleans and one espe
cially marked and prosecuted for bis un-
falling Unionism during the war, deposed
that he considered the riot a free fight
between the negroes and Irish, such as
might occur in any city. Hereupon he
was told to stand down, Mr.. Elliot re-
marking that that was " all you could
expect from a secessionist" Among the
number called to testify was a citizen OF
New Orleans who deposed that the ne
groes drew on the riot Hereupon Mr..
Elliot wanted to know what occupation
he followed. The deponent claimed no
immediate occupation, but nonplussed
his interrogation by Stating that ne had
commanded Federal regiment
/ in the rebellion for FIVE years. Upon
this statement the committee wanted
10 know, with considerable acer.
bity of manner, what he knew
about the calling Of the Convention. Io
this the Colonel made the unexpected
and unwelcome response that previous tc
the call Of the Convention be had seen
letter signed by two members Of the Re

lana from this capitol precluded the ide'
Of that committee exercising any imme
date supervision over the Convention
but instructed those addressed to q
ahead as best they could and call a con
vention for the reformation Of the Stat
Government. The same deponent ais
stated that in a drunken brawl, Of whie
