M&RTINe IN THE Szconp Warp.—A meeting was held Jast even- ing at the German Hall, on Eleventh street, for the pai of organizing the Second Ward Un- conditional Union Club. Mr G. H. Plant called the meeting to made Chairman, and Mr. W. F. Given, Secre- After the Chairman had announced the objects of the meeting— Mr. Lewis Glephane stated that he understood the Intention to be the organization of Uncondi- tionel Union Clubs in every ward of the city, ° who should elect delegates to a general conven- tion to nominate candidates for the principal offices; the clubs to nominate candidates for ward officers in their respective wards. He did not regard the movement as a strictly party matter, but ratber as a movement in which all who were for the prompt and firm maintenance of the Gov- poncho 9 under all circumstances could take part. it wes a well known fact that there were many still holding places of trust asd responsibility, who, had the rebels succeeded in their schemes for the overthrow of the Government, would now be acting in hearty unison with them He wanted men chosen to fill these Corporation offices of whose loyalty there should not be a shadow of doubt. Mr. C. then presented 2 constitution, which be stated was similar to one adopted by the Third Ward; which was read for the information of the snecting. Mr. é hoped that toe further consideration of the constitution would be postponed till the next- meeting, in order that time could be afforded the members to exemine it Mr. Plant was opposed to any postponement of the matter. He could see nothing objectionable in it, and ff there was It could be amended after- wards Mr. Z. Richards desired the preamble read. He regerded that as being of the utmost impor- tance. At the last election, in some of the wards, persons had been elected to the City Councils as une tional Union men who had shown bat Little sympathy with the Government in its efforts to suppress the rebellion In the coming election men should be put in nomination who are not only strongly {n favor of putting down the rebel- lou but also men who are willing that Congress should use its own judgment in legislating for the interests of the people of this District. Efforts had been made to influence the National Legisiature ta the discharge of its duty in this respect, but al! such efforts should be promptly frowned down by every lsw-abiding and Union-loving citizen Congress had made this city what it was, and it became our duty to cheerfully obey its lawful au- thority. The constitution and by-laws were then taken up and adopted by sections. ‘Mr. Clephane then moved to the elec- tion of officers to the next meeting, and that the oath of allegiance to the Government be then ad- ministered toall the members; which was agreed to, and the meeting adjourned. Turep Warp “xcoxpitionat Union Cvs.’ The second meeting of this assoclaticn was held last evening at Temperance Hall, Mr. A. C Richards being in the chair and Mr. A.R. Shep- herd acting as Necretary. The club at once eded to the election of ee officers, with the following result: A. Richards, President; J. J. Coombs, Vice President; G. A. Hall, Secretary; and T. A. Steveos, Tressurer. Mr. Richards stated that the work before them ‘was one of the genase Lor rade — were to prepare for the approaching municipal elec- tion, and to ferret out the disloyal in their midst, which was a work worthy of their best efforts. Mr. Coombs called the attention of the meting to the bill before Congress to extend the right of suff-age to six-months residents. He had not himecif examined the subject, but thought it one which the club should consider; and if in their opinion the vill would be beneficial to the inter- ests of the loyal citizens, they should take some measures to secure \ts e. and if otherwise, then they sbou!d endeavor to defeat it. [f sacha bill were passed, in bis opinion {t woul! allow thousands of persons here a vote, waich would be cast for the candidates of the Union clubs Mr. Richards suggested that some measure should be taken to prevent the voting of disloyal persons.

He remar that if this succeeded it would save much trouble. ‘The motion was unanimously adopted. Mr. 3) stated that the usual method for nominating candidates was for some thirty-five or forty persons to meet a few weeks before the election and select the candidates without taking the time to inquire into their qualifications He urged upon the association to lock well into the qualifications of the citizens and choose those best qualitied. He spoke of increasing the club, and that It was the design toestablish sim- ilar clube in all the wards, the mem- bers to use their influence, not iy to increase the club in their own ward, butto aid those of other Mr. Hackett remarked that became to the meet- ing according to the invitation be had received, but be could not sey whetber he would become & member of not, as he beld his citizenship still in bis native State.

Therefore, if Mr Morsell’s loyalty to his Church is the criterion for judging bis loyalty to the State, he is just the man to render aid and com- fort to the enemies of the State, whenever such a course would be in accordance with the feelings and inclinations of a majority of the members cf his congregation. ‘The above remarks, Mr. Editor, apply with as much force to Rev. Mr. Syle (who I understand is a British subject) as they do to Mr Morsell, and if M 'yle will take the trouble to read them, perhaps he will be able to understand the writer’s ideas of the word ‘‘disloyaity.”’ One of the reasons assigned by Mr. Morsell for not reading the prayer prescribed by the Bishop, | is that ‘it was addressed to a portion and not the | whole of the diocese.’ To show the utter ab- | Surdity of this position, it eee necessary to state that the prayer wes received tn this city on 8 Saturday, and it was the duty of all whe received it, to read it the next day in thelr respective churches. How then could Mr. Mor- sell or Mr. Syle have known that a prayer of thanksgiving for Union victories and the preserva- tion of the National Capital, had not been sent to every clergy in the diocese? And just bere allow me to ask Mr Morsell to explain the reason for bis saying to Mr Syle, after consulting with j bim In the street on the aforesaid Saturday. thet ‘he should not, on that day, take the fishop’s | letter from the post office. Did that declinaticn | arise from the sup; fact that a similar letter | tad not been sent to “ the whole of the clergy of the diocese 7” Another reason assigned by Mr. Morsell for not thanking God for Union victories, is, that he hsd “endeavored to keep these agitating topics en- tirely ont of our (his) congregation, in sermons and prayers ” Loy&ity to the Government, then, Is ‘‘ an agita- ting topic” in the con; tion of Rev. Mr. Mor- sel; a subject that produces an unboly excite- ment. I would respectfully inquire of Mr. Mor- sell whether be dare venture to read such passages asthe following to the sensitive congregation of Christ Church? “The powers that be are or- dained of God. Whosoever, therefore, resisteth the power, resiateth the ordinance of God; and they that resist shall receive to themecives dam- nation.’—Rom. 13. Pertaps Mr. Morsell will inform the public what number of ardent and loyal friends of the Government, worshipping in bis church, would bave had unholy feelings ex- celted in their breasts by the compliance of their Rector with the request of the Bishop of the dio- cese in the matter of the praver of thanksgiving for victories over traitors in arms against their Government You cannot have failed to observe, Mr. Editor, that from the first outbreak of this infamous re- bellion, this cammunity has given ample swing to traitor-sympathisers, who have flouted their sentiments as they pleaged,and who take it in high dudgeon if their disloyalty be rebuxed, be- cause it “hurts their feelings.’ I should be sorry to believe that things have ar- rived at such a pass in this District that loyal people cannot public'y thank God for the victories vouchsafed to the Federal arms, according to the order of their highest ecclesiastical autbority, be- cause forsooth it would be distasteful to the Sriends and sympathisers of the traitors who are in armed rebeilion against the Government. Since when, I should like to know, bas loyalty = less sensitive than treason, or less respecta- le. I would not causelessly wound the feelings of any human being, but when the alternative is —— of doing a duty acceptable to every joyal heart, or omitting it for the reason tL=* ‘(x performance would be unpalatable to disloyalists and ftrastors, what true man or woman would hesitate in making his election. It is full time that this stupid and insolent cant of the superior refinement of feeling and the claims to the gentlest treatment on the partof those who are tainted with treason, should be sternly trampled in the dust. Messrs. Morsell and Syie claim to be loyal Union men, and far be it from me to impugn their ve- racity in the matter. But, 1 would ask those gentlemen if the course they have permitted them- selves OD prcery is not exactly the course that a disloyalist would have adopted? and are they not aware that their course in this matter hax been eartily approved by every rebel sympathizer in their respective congregations ?

Henry Simms, a young (white) shoe black, was charged with increasing bis stock in trade by the larceny of six boxes of biacking. The boy cried iteously. and made a hundred promises .9 do tter. He received a suitable lecture from Jus- tice T., and was dismissed. Charles E. Dudley, of Georgetown, wascharged with the larceny of some trifling articles, aud was brought out for trial—Mr J.H Johnson appear- ing as bis counsel. The case was dismissed, there being no one to claim and identify the Peaperty. m. McGwinn was arrested for abstracting a lot of dry goods (which he hed under bis arm when seized), the property of Mr. H. Egan. Mr. Ennis appeared for the defense, und produced written evidence of the excellent character of the accused. It is due to McGwinn tosay, that when accused he immediately gave up the goods, and ssid bis intention was to give them to the Lote 6 th owner. Mr. E ‘was present, and iden’ bis goods, but did not wish to prosecute under the umstances. In the absence of a material witoess,who cannot be found, Justice Thompson discharged McGwinn upon hisown recognizance to appear at the Criminal Court, if required. For Court —Yesterday officer J. 8 Pontier, of Baltimore, arr:ved in this city, having in bis custody a young man named Jobn H. Gibson, who stands charged with stealing a horse from the livery stable of Carpenter & Thomas, on Sixth Street, near the avenue. It appears from the tes- timony that last week Gibson applied to one of the firm fora horse, but was refused. He went to a young man in charge of the stable, and on his statement that the proprietor said he could have the horse, ‘ae Sy - man permitted him to have the animal ‘be horse was sold toa gen- tleman at the corral, who soon after sold him to Mr. J.

LEE, JOE JONNSTON AND GRUDER IN COMMAND OF THe REBEL FORCES MA Batrrwors, April 11, (from Fortress Monroe, April 10 )—Thbe O14 Point boat has arrived. The following are the msin poljnts of the Balllmore American’s special correspondence. Viz: The storm beset length broken, and the sun shines brightly this afternoon ; the wind is stili blowlng Nothing has been seen or heard of the Merrimac to-day, and in view of the recent terrible re verses to the rebels in the west, it is doubtful whetber they will attempt any cffeasive opere tions even with thelr iron-plated moaster. Sti desperate circumstances require desperate reme- dies, and their desperate spirit may Induce an attempt of something in thie way. If she does come out she will probably come to-morrow. Parties who come in from the army report na special change 'n effairs. Continus! skirmish ing is going on, and a brilliant little affsir oc- curred yesterday morning, in which Gri! battery participated with marked effect; killing and wounding 27 of the rebels. The rebel position extends across the Peninsnia from Yorktown te Warwick, near James River, a short distance above Mulberry Point. The conformation of the land and the making in of the creek from James river, shortens their tine of defence, end enables them to command with thelr fortifications all the roads of the Pen insula Generais Lee and Jos. E Jobaston are both reported with the rebel force here; one com- manding at Yorktown and the other at Warwick, Magruder holding a subordinate position, with the reserve, st Williamsburg According to reports of deserters the revei forse is abeat 50,000, of whom 30,000 are reinforcements lately drawn from the line of the Rappahannock and about Norfolk. Despite the weather and bad roads our generals are pushing forward preparations for sssauiting the enemy's works, and not many days willelapss before Yorktown will be oure end Richmond threatened. The glorious news fron the West is tcting es an excellent stimulant for our troops under (act present hardships, to strive towin eqari Lonors Berdan’s Sharpshooters give good account of themselves. They hold the advanced position under the rebel batteries, from which they Stantly herrass the enemy. A head above Parapet becomes an {ostant m-rk for baife dozen tifies, which from 8 thousand yarda rarely fail te it their mark The rebels keep well under cover. Une sbarp- shooter belonging to the California regiment has almost wholly prevented the rebels from using & jJarge gun in an important position. From © well selected rifie pit he keeps a constant eye upon the gun, and hardly an attempt has been made fortwo daysto fire it, without the rebels losing one or more men from his deadly aim One of the on dits of the day is, that one of our divisions have secured sn important position— the holding of which will lead to an evacuation, or to the forcing of the line of defense. Much important preliminary work bas been Performed by our troops, and with the retarn of good weather more active operations will hardly be postponed many days. The task before Gen. McClelian, the reduction of fortified entrenchments, ia that for which be Ie specially held to be qualified, and the result is not doubted. LATEST FROM YORKTOWN—(UP To 4 P.M.
