TO THE PEOPLE OF CHARLESTON

The following address to the people OF
Charleston was unanimously adopted at
meeting of citizens, held at the Hibernian Hall,
on Friday afternoon last: -.
ADDRESS.
The disturbance Of the public peace which
has marked tho proceedings OF a portion OF
the population Of this city; the threats and
the preparations which are uttered and made,
and indicate fixed purpose to inaugurate and
prosecute acts Of violence and wrong; the In
tolerance which has interrupted meetings OF
citizens peaceably conducted, and forced them
to terminate their proceedings; submitting TO
this indgnity and wrong rather than by insist
ing on their rights, furnish an occasion for tu-
multi and riot. The insult and defiance to the
constabulary force Of the city; the interruption
ofpeaceable citizens in their avocatons, and i'll
treatment Of them without provocation; the
reckless manner in which nightly NEE tIngs
and professions are conducted to the great
annoyance Of the people, and the peril OF such
as may be obliged to be near those who are en-
gagged in them; the temper which has thus
converted city, remarkable for its erder and
quiet, into place where noise and violence
have become Of frequent occurrence; the or
ganization Of bodies Of men in military array,
drilling and practicing them in the arts OF war;
and the increasing spirit Of aggression with
which, in all of these respects, the newly en-
franchised population of this city and the ada
ceutislands have conducted themselves; admon-
ish all who have at heart the peace ofthis COM
munity and the welfare Of all classes Of its popu-
alton that, unless timely aver ted, the purposes
of wicked mea will be accomplished in deadly
strife, and in the streets Of the ci ty scenes will
be enacted which all good men will deeply de-
plore. With the solemn conviction that 30
great calamity is now impending over us
with. no partisan temper, and with no reference
to political opinions or parties; intent only
but deeply intent, upon the protection OF per-
sops and property; Of persons Of all classes;
of property, to whomsoever belonging; We are
forced by convictions we honestly entertain,
BY apprehensions which We cannot disregard,
to warn our fellow citizens Of the great danger
with which they are threatened. We counsel
them most earnestly to the continuance OF that
great forbearanoe they have hitherto mani
tested. We urge them not to be betrayed into
resentment, which, however natural or how
much provoked, will be in many quarters un-

"Public opinion in Delaware is, find,
strongly in favor of this mode of punish

the man who commits the smallest crime

outlaw and vagabond, upon whom sinless
society may wreak Its most terrible ven

body, and utterly running his moral nature.

rsor. iblp Murder In philadelphia

tFrun Mondays Morning Post
\ terrible tragedy was enacted last even
ing al tho northeast corner of Tenth al d Pine
streets. An old lady named Mrs, Hill was
found about O'Clock lying dead in the yard
OF HE premises The body was shockingly
mutilated about the head, giving evid nee OF
foul play, and was besides bruised, as though
IL had fallen some distance on to the ground.
The corpse was discovered by the servant
girl ON returning from church, and as she
was about making the house secure for the
night. The girl giving the alarm, Mrs. Hill S
son.in-law, man named George Twitchel,
came down stairs in an unconcerned way and
expressing no particular surprise al seeing
The venerable lady's dead body, assisted
the servant in carrying it into the house.
News of the terrible affair had, in the mean
time, spread through the neighborhood, and
n highly excited crowd gathered around the
house. Police officers were soon on the
ground, and Twitc.,ell and his wife were ar
rested on suspicion of the crime. Mrs
rwiiclell is confined in the house, but
Fwicllcll was taken to the station house,

remains.
The room where the supposed murder was
committed is magniticenlly furnished and

window is covered with blood, and the act
was evilenlly committed upon it. From
the sofa trails Of blood reach into the next
room, and the window OF that room is mark
ed by bloody finger prints, showing where
the victim WAS precipitaied into the court
below. Alongside of the sofa, in the inner
room was found poker covered with blood
and hair.
The Prisoner, Twichcll, will give no ac-
count Of the affair further than that the lady
committed suicide by jumping out of the
window. All the evidence is against this
view of the case, however, and the crowds
which visited the premises last evening were
Of the unanimous opinion that vile murder
had been committed.

The PENNSYLVANIA PEAbE SOCIETY which
held its annual meeting in Philadelphia,
Thursday and Friday, in its declaration of
sentiments says:-
lst That Peace is natural, desirable and
possible, and that there are conditions oflife
in which il may be deserved and realized.
md That this Peace movement is cmi-
nenily an educational one We must be
pure before we can be peaceable, and peace
able before we can he pure.
3rd. We hold, therefore, that it Is time
this monstrous perversi0n OF our moral and
spiritual nature should be righted. Begin
with the children. Never strike child !!
Govern by love.
These propositions are amplifled and
enlarged upon, and in conclusion the Socic-
ty asks more jus, dealing with the Indians,
and The establishment Of an International
Code, by which disputes like that Of the
Alabama case may he quietly decided
Concerning the character of War, they
say
Ii cannot be the symbol of emancipation,
for it makes slavery.
It cannot be for happiness, for ii is torture
misery and poverty.
1t cannot be for life, for ii wastes and de-
stroys the body, checks populations and
brings tlntimely and inquisitorial dealll.
1t cannot be for love, justice, loyalty or
equal rights, or we shohld fairly foil in an
aflluence Of these virtues, for 1t has been tried
ever since the world began, and our nation
has just emerged from the bloodiest of bat
ties; and yet who will preteud to say there
Is no hate, oppression, caste and Dpen dis
loyalty, mocking our professions to day
II cannot be for law and the right, for
victory is on the side of the heaviest battal-

THE AN.NAMESSIC LINE.

Some facts concerning the advantages Of
the Annamessic connection from fhiladel-
phia southwark, as a freight line are just
published. The p. w. Il b. Railroad Com
pany have opened new freight depot in
Philadelphia, on the Delaware front near
the Navy Yard, n locality very convenient
for shippers of goods for Southern points. -
The advantages of the line in time and dis
tanccs to Norfolk, over Baltimore and the
Chesapeake Bay lines, are thus statcd-
s'The distance by railroad from PhIladel-
phia TO Cristield ON Chesapeake BAY is 1864
miles; fiom Crisfield to Norfolk, by steam
boat, 81 miles: total distance from Philadel-
phia to Norfolk, 2i7 miles. In running
time, the true standard OF commercial com
putation, Philadelphia is nearer to Norfolk
than is Baltimore to Norfolk, between
which latter points the distance is 1877 miles,
all W boat, whirh so prolongs the trip that
passengers and freights are forwarded from
Philadelphia to Norfolk ia fewer hours than
from Baltimore to Norfolk.
"And from Philadelphia via Crisiield and
the York River Railroad to Richmond, the
time saved, in contrast with the route from
Baltimore via York River to Richmond. is
still more significant and noteworthy.
"The simple truth is that, the commercial
interests of both Richmond and Norfolk are
closely identified with the Annumessic route,
for it is over the Aunamessic route that Nor
folk and Richmond can establish and main
tain railroad ntercommunicatior indepen.
dent OF Baltimore, with Philadelphia and
New York
These arc practical advantages which will
endure for all time, and which must ulti-
mately command for our Peninsular line, the
Atlantic coast railway trade between New
York and Philadelphia and the Southern
States. The causes which terminated the
former passenger arrangement were of II va
rious character, but they must yield, even
tually, to those superiorities which ale OF
eternal value to busness-the saving of time
and distance. In that result Wilmington is
deeply interested the DETECTION of the Del
aware line at this point makes it sur road ;
1T languishes, IT must bc our injury and
therefore our regret but when il rises into
new growth and success, ii is our solid ad.

AT THE EvARTs BANQUET, General Scho-
field made fairish speech, but most of its
sentiments were far from being thoroughly
in accord with popular feeling. His especial
laudation of the regular army and its officers,
and the assertion that the ''nation feels per
"iectly, though perhaps uhoonsciously, the
truth that Its army is its main reliance for
protection" are not theories which the
great mass of Americans entirely endorse.
Admiral Farragut, on the other hand, sensi-
