This is poisbd tfpon a mortar of aiiear gill, which in turn is supported by aa upright cannon of the same material. Round tbe mortar are foor gilt medallions, representing Cupid, Minerva, Venus and Mart. Tbe cannon is turruonded by the emblems of tbe foar branches of tb< service— tbe artillery, cavalry, infantry and engineer corps. Underneath lbs pick ahd shovel of the engineers is their motto. •Basayon.' —let na try— which, not inap. ■ ' propriately. has-been selected at tha motto ; of tbe cup. The pedeaul, like tbe bowl, , is of burnished silver, end tbe whole it snr- < mounted by an admirably eaaeoted figure i of a eedet in full uniform, round which are : engraved tbe names of the tiyty-oioe mem- i bars of tbe class.

PHILADELPHIA LETTER. Pnu.angt.rHU, July 5th, 1 ri65. Ma. Editor: — Tbe Fourth of July, with its many pleasant f.atures, it over, it will long bs remembered aa being the most spirited and joyous for many years. The cle- ( bratioD of the Fonrlh since 1861 haa burp ( necessary tame, tba thoughts of tbe people _ being directed Into another more important ^ channel. But at this time their thoughts ( were free, and tbe surrounding eircOm- • tance were well ealcnleled to iudoce them to enter into the celebration of that day— ; around whose memory so many associations eliog to gratify the pride of en American — with more than the usual spirit manifested. This lime last year we jgere engaged in tbe { supprresion of a gigantic rebellion, which had fur its object the complete destruction , of this Government ; lo-dayiiot an arm is uplifted against the law fo^jjtabori ties. Peace hut unfurled her welcome banner, ! and *e bid fair to he again tfffped by all the j ( ties necessary to form a " perfect, union." < , Erery one seemed so to regard it, und en. ( tvred accordingly into the celebration with ! | e most remarkable gusto, and with that j spirit which should characterize a people commemorating a day so glorious in lb* ■ annals of our history — a day which gave ( tbem their birth, and ranked (hem among the civilised nations of tbe cartb. | For days past the inhabitants of the \ i " Quaker City" have heen bu-y in making j • | the most extensive preparations eitb a view j , to the proper celebration of the day ; and ; , thvy ware well rewarded by contemplating , ! the proportion which they bad contributed j | to the entire success of the day. i , The day was ushered in with glorious pro" t raise — the sun continued to shtoe brightly < all day. which added to the cheerfulness of ' the occasion. From 12 o'clock on the night of tbe 3d to the same hour on the night of tbu -Ub, ■ he uir resounded with strains of music, peals of laughter, and tbe sharp end quick crack of fire-arms and "shooting-crackers." Tba streets were literally alive with pvople ' the entire day— end when the sun bed hid ' bis "blushing face" in the west, and tbe 1 "beautiful night" was ushered in, tha crowd r increased. Chestnut street was impassible. I Tbe attractive feature of the night was tha I illumination. It is utterly impossible to ' describe, io impressive words, the magnificence end grandeur of the scene. Chestnut a street wee io a perfect blaze of light. Be- t rouches, filled with beautiful ladies, hand- t snmely attired, passed up and down the ' streets. It would occupy too much of your valuable space, In attempt to give the de- t tails. Independence llall was brilliantly r illuminated, aa was also the Union League, d Ike National Union Club, tbe 1'ress Club, t and the newspaper offices. The ledger die- " played a circle of globes, enclosing tbe I. words, "Peaee and Union," and tha other k displayed various moitos and j 1 transparencies. Twelve o'clock Isst eight ■ not a soul could be seen on the streets, t ha i people were locked firmly io tbe arms of h morpheas, wearied with their continuous n exertions of the day. Thus closed Ibis a day. o The weather here for the last few days has hero very warm, and if it laala tha ^ city will ha actually depopulated. c Your cool and comfortable Island, with * it* many accommodations, rises vividly to c tba imagination of tbosa "unfortunates." ' who are doomed, either from poverty, meanness or business, to apend -their mm- 1 mer in tbia large and warm city, aud causes 1 tlem to lameot publicly their warm and 1 sultry lot. Judging from tba crowds of ' people who Bock to the drppt of the West 1 Jersey Railroad Company, Cape May bids ' fair to be well populated! before long. The 1 bathing, irrespective of every thing else, I offers an irraiitible attraction to lb# public. : 1 am informed that our friend "Capl. Jack > , Ristey" intends establishing himself at t your place daring the tsmmer. Captain : Risley is widely kno»n and universally re- - • peeled by aver* one. Ha is' generally at I tha head of all schemes for the enjoyment i sod benefit of the public. We wish bim a I ! must pleasant tifnu daring tbu season. t Jans. ■ '■■■ ( 9* Tba Philadelphia Ectning Telegraph . says : "Nickles are nearly as .plenty as , ever.

With such streets a* we speak of, we shall find that maoy thousands who pay ua their respects every year, will appreciate their" summer homo far more than they do oow.
