A NOBLE ADDRESS TO THE WOMEN OF THE LAND. A remarkable meeting of the ladies of Washing tOn, wives of Cabinet ministers, Senators, Repre scntatives, Commissioners, generals, and other officials was held on the evening of Monday. Rev. Dr. illeMurdy presided, and Mrs. Senator Lane, of Indiana, Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, the authoress, Mrs. Senator Wilson, Mrs. General Loan, Mrs. Repre sentative Pike, Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas, and Mrs. liepreSentative Ingersoll were appointed a com mittee to form a constitution and prepare an ad dross to the women of America. Article first of the constitution declares that the name of the association shall be the Ladies' Na tional Covenant—its object, to unite the women of the Country in the earnest resolution to purchase no imported articles of apparel whore American can possibly be substituted, during the continuance of the war. The president of the executive committee is Mrs. Gen. James Taylor ; secretary, Mrs. Stephen Arnold Douglas. Mrs. Vico President H.amlin heads the list of the committee for Maine; Mrs. Senator Hale that of New Hampshire ; Mrs. Sena tor;WilsOn, Massachusetts, and so on throughout the States, the whole organizing a moral and pa trioticffioveirtent of - wide and promising influence. ThoAseromittee appointed for, Pennsylvania is con- Stikofed as follows : Mrs. Senator Buekalow, Bloomsburg; Mrs. J. W. Forney, Philadelphia; Mrs. S. I. Hale, Philadelphia; Mrs. Judge Kelley, Philadelphia; Mrs. Senator Cowan, Greensburg; Mrs, Representative Moorhead, Pittsburg; Mrs. Bliss, Erie ; Mrs. Bishop Potter, Philadelphia, and Mrs. Hon. John M. Broomall, of Media. The following well-written and eloquent address deserves the attention of all the ladies of the loyal nation: In the capital of our country we have this day organized a central society for the suppression of extravagance, thew diminution of foreign imports, and the practice of economy in all our social relations. To this society we have given the name of "The Ladies' National Covenant." Its object . is a good and generous one, which should inSmre a spirit of patriotism worthy of women who are the glory of a great nation. For this society we have an example and precedent at once august and encouraging. In 1770, the women of Massachusetts, actuated by the same impulse that inspires us, assembled in the city of Boston, as we have met here, and resolved to serve the country by an effort of self-sacrifice far greater than we are called upon to make. • On the 9th of February three hundred matrons, each the mistress of a household, met as we do now, and I signed a pledge to abstain front the use o tea, the greatest luxury of the time, and the very life f all the social gatherings for which our New Engtan • ancestors WIT so famous. Three days after, twice that-num ber of blooming young girls met in the same place, and signed like pledges. From that brave assem blage of women non-importation societies sprang up that produced an effect upon the mother country almost equal to that created by the success of our Revolutionary armies. During all the terrors of the war these noble women held firmly to their pledges, and by their earnestness awoke the sympathy and co-operation of every sister colony in the land. The spirit thus aroused extended itself to imported goods of all kinds, and every hearthstone was turned into an independent manufactory. Thus it was that the flax-wheel, the hatchel, and the hand-loom became sublime instruments of freedom in the hands of American women. The house-mothers of seventy. six not only kept their pledge of non-importation, but with their own hands wrought from the raw material the garments which clothed themselves, their husbands, and children. The pledge which they took, and kept so. faithfully, evoked not only great e.elf-saerlßee, but hard, hard toil, such as the women of the present day scarcely dream of. Had they not endured and labored while their husbands fohght, we should have had no mighty Union to pray and struggle for now. We, the women of '64, have the same object to attain, and the same duties to perform, which were so nobly accomplished by the women of '76. Shall we not follow their example, and take up cheerfully the lesser burdens' that the welfare of our country demands? They gave up the very comforts of life without a murmur; can we refuse when a Saerliite offentinine vanity is alone required ? Clan we hesitate to yield up luxuries that are so unbecoming, when the very earth trembles under our feet from the tread of armed men going down to battle, and almost every roof throughout the land shelters some mother lamenting the son who has fallen gloriously with his face to the foe, or a widow whose husband lies buried so deeply among the masses of slain heroes, that she will never learn where to seek for his gravel When the wife of a great prince, whose husband was absent at the siege of Troy, was urged by her friends to put on iter royal robes, and be eheenful, she answered "My husband is under the walls of Troy; shall I adorn say hair while he wears a helmet? Shall I dress in new robes while he carries arms? No! my raiment shall-he like his hard labors, and in sadness to ill I pass the tine: of this mournful war." Patriotism Is beautiful In all eyes, and was shared alike by the lady of classic story and the mother of the Revolution, clad in her homespun dress and stea f ili Wig . "'W less .extravagance which has marked the duration of this terrible struggle for the Union,and the con trast is indeed humiliating,. Still m women of America arc not unworthy of their ancestors. Thoughtless they may be, and luxuriously extrava gant from long habits of prosperity, but cruel and unjust never ! Appeal to their reason and gentle feelings. and the women of this day will prove themselves capable of as noble deeds as ever marked the struggles of theptevolution. Convince them of the evil S -their thoughtlessness is producing, and the. remedy is certain. It has. not yet been sufficiently impressed upon them that the encouragement of extravagant im portations is injurious to the public good. To im press this vital truth upon the women of the Union, we have entered into this solemn covenant, not only lauding ourselves to a general system of economy in our persons, but holding it as a duty to impress upon others how unwomanly it is to make. outward dis play a paramount subject of thought, when the na tion is in the throes of a rebellion, such as the world never saw. Gathered here in the centre of the na tion. a handful of women, intent on a single object, anxious only for the good of the country, appeal to the patriotism and intelligence of our sister we- Men throughout the length and breadth of the land. Let it be Ice7f understood, that every ounce of gold that goes ji onf the emodry &karts from, The flag of the Sol• dier who is,fi:ghtiny or our salvation ; and diminishes the wages of our sister women, who toll for their bread, into a miserable pittance that scarcely sty/ices to keep them,from starvation. The precious metal that flows from this Country to Europe fur the luxuries we do not need inoreaseS the price of gold here, depreci ates the value of our national currency, and helps to sweep the necessaries of life beyond the reach of the working man. is o :painful truth, for which we shall yet learn to blush, that the importations of the moat expensive goods manufactured VA Europe have been far greater daring the war than al any time in the history of our country. The importations last week at the New York Custom. house alone amounted to five millions of dollars; and all that week—which will yet find its ignoble record in history—the streets of Washington were blocked up with weary soldiers, marching through mud, rain, or dust down to the Army of the Potomac, which now lies with bated courage waiting far the carnival of death which is almost flinging its crimson shadow over us. For the good of our country and the honor of our sex let us redeem ourselves from, this reproach of wan ton extravagance. Let us prove by cheerful re trenchment that the women of the country are not so wedded to luxurious self-indulgence that they cannot fill a glorious page in the history of this war and yet retain all that is retiring and beautiful in womanhood. In all humane works they have proved themselves charitable, kind, and munificent. Let these comprehend that self-abnegation will ac complish more than works of charity, and they will not be less earnest to sacrifice than they have been to act. It must not be said of us'that we have been wil ling to give 'up our husbands, sons, and brothers to fight or die ibr the Union and yetrefuse to renounce our laces., silks, velvets, and diamonds. That thought would cover us with shame before the na• floes el'the earth. No; our women of the Union only lack knowledge of the means by which they can prove themselves true help-mates of the heroes who are fighting our battles. Impress it upon them that in discouraging exces sive importations and adopting goods manufactured at home they keep gold in the country, reduce the rates of exchange, and establish confidence in the Government,and they will prove how lar patriotism can rise above feminine vanity in the hearts of American women. . In order to invoke this spirit of self-sacritice, it is important that the great object of the covenant we have made should be broadly circulated and tho roughly understood. It discourages profligate ex penditures of any kind, recommends the use of do mestic fabrics wherever they can be substituted for those of foreign make, and advises simplicity of attire both as a matter of policy and, good taste. It asks the great sisterhood of American women to aid in this reform before it is too late. Thank God 1 science has given us the means of reaching thou sands on thousands in a single hour. While we Make this covenant, the thought that thrills our hearts may tremble in fire along the telegraph, and awake kindred inspiration throughout the entire land. By every means of communication in our power, let us urge the necessity of prompt action. in every town and village throughout the Union, some woman who loves her country is implored to establish an auxilliary society, and forward the names of the ladies invited to act for the State in which her duty lies. We ask simultaneous action, comet work, and general self-sacrifice at the hands of our sister women. Withtheir ardent help, a work will be accomplished so important in its results, that the woman who shares it may hereafter, leave the emblem of our object as the richest jewel that she can leave to posterity. COVBNANT^A BADIIII3, The pledge or covenant (Art. 3il of the constitu tion), is as follows : " For three years, or for the mar, we pledge ourselves to each other and the country, to purchase no imported article of apparel." On inetioh of Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, it was /Us/ared, That the badge of- the National Covenant shall be a black bee, with wings enamelled, according to nature, worn with a tri-color ribbon, a little in front of the lett shoulder. On motion of Mrs. Ingersoll, it was .72,,,,1ned, That while, as the wives, anddaughters, and wanton of America, we are ready and determined to practice self-denial for the benefit of the country and our sex, we earnestly reetnest the men of America also to abstain from the use 01 imported articles, especially liquors, and cirs. On motion of Mrs. Morris, it was R(wiqvcd, That the women iu the nation, sympathi zing with the great object of this society, be and hereby are invited to copy the covenant, record' their own names thereto, and, obtaining as many signatures as possible, forward the - lumber (not the names) so oh taillPti to the committee of their State. Another meeting will be held on Tuesday, next week. Toe: L ACKAWANNA RAILROAD BRIDGE DE STROYED BY Fure.—About two o'clock yesterday (Friday) afternoon the prolonged whistling of the various engines in the ward, indicating a fire, called out large numbers of our citizens, who, by the smoke rising •over the Lackawanna between this borough and Hyde Park, saw at once that the railroad bridge was on fire. When first discovered, the fire was con fined to the east, or Scranton and of the bridge, and had progressed but little, but it spread very rapidly, and before anything could be done to arrest its pro gress the bridge was doomed, and in about an hour 101 l with a loud crash, and lay in smoking ruins on the banks of the river, or floated in fragments down the stream—Scranton Republican.

E. Church until' the final adjournment of the Conference: The ceremony oil raising the flag was performed by Colonel Moody, of Ohio, who had been previously requeSted• to do so by a number of the delegates. In doing* so,' he delivered a patriotic and thrilling speech, alluding with muck feeling to the progress of the national arms, and auguring the early and final overthrew of the wicked rebellion of the slaveownors. It was especially gratifying, ho remarked, that while..tht: dear old nag ' now doubly consecrated to every patriot, would bring freedom to four millions bonds men, it would also bring joy and relief to the six millions of poor whites so long down-trodden and Lincoln,oppressed e d tl:e wa S s e t e h t e he s i e li rva tg o rt i rca d ,Atnidlrli,litaetrn ror to evil-doers, but a praise to those who do well. Hence Vallandigham went to Canada to find pro. tection under the BritiSh lion. A mean man in a mean place ; the right man in the right place. The speaker closed by expressing the wish that for the next four years, at least, the nation might find peace and quietness in Abraham's bosom. The Star-Spangled Banner was then sting with a will, and the audience adjourned into the church. The opening religious services were conducted by the Rev. J. W. Armstrong, of the Black River Cen ference. Bishop Simpson presided. The hour of 10 having arrived, the special order of the day, namely, the reception of the English delegates, was then taken up. These gentlemen were escorted into the church by the committee, and presented by them to the presi dent, Bishop Morris. The. m. Dr. Thornton, dele gate from the Wesleyan-Church, England, and the Rev. Dr. Robinson, delegate from the Wesleyan Church of Ireland, are 'the delegates. These gen tlemen named were presented-by the Bishop to each of the College of Bishops, and the Conference then received them standing. The delegate from Biagiand then presented to the president the address of the Wesleyan Conference in England to the General Conference of the M. E. Chitrdi in America. - It was handed to the secre tary, who read it to the body. It was as follows : REVEREND AND yllny DmAn BRETHREN: A grateful remembrance of the origin from which we are both descended, of the truth which we equally_ maintain, and of the objects which we are mutually striving to promote by the diffusion of spiritual and practical Christianity, prompts us to address' you on the present occasion, and to convey to you renewed assurances of all kindly and fraternal- affection. Great has been our sympathy with you, beloved brethren,in the calamities of the war which has now for so long- a time ravaged your land, and Which cannot but have inflicted sore distresses on you as a Christian community, impeding nota few of your evangelical efforts, and casting shadows of discour agement and fear on t , oine of the brightest scenes of your ministerial toil. Our prayer Is, that the God of Peace may speedily bring this national strife to a righteous and happy termination, and that the ex tensive territories may flourish beyond all former measure, in temporal and spiritual prosperity. Meanwhile, and in every event, we trust that, by the grace and blessing of the God of our fathers, you will continue to hold on your way as ministers of the word of life, sowing the seed of truth with all fidelity, and reaping thence a plentiful harvest, "fruit unto life eternal." Still let us aim in our several allotted provinces or service to "walk by the came rule, to mind the same thing," to spread Scriptural holiness all around us, and ever to advocate "whatsoever things are true," &c. N . jed we add that the sentiments which we have often expressed on the evil of slavery, and the importance of its speedy abolition, remain un changed? Earnestly do we look Ibr the time when that evil shall no longer exist. The timo will assuredly come. May we remind you, brethren, that as Christians you are called to pursue firm, yet Wise and pacific, counsels, and in the very spirit of the 'Christianity which you and we profess, to droceed with calm and st n e a a l d r y e ms e ,,, i: i e te r n an s c la e ,e e r n y te s r h t o a l i l ntn e g n . o n m o o d r o e i . ib t of the fi As our delegate to the nest acueral,Confercnce_in Philadelphia, we have appointed the. Rev. W. L. Thornton, M. A., and, as his companion, the Rev. William B. Pope—brethren beloved, in whom we ourselves repose the highest confidence, and whom we are persuaded that you will affectionately wel come as messengers to you of our constant fraternal love. And may the God of Grace cause all blessings to abound towards you, and, whatever may arise, grant you the security of those who abide under the sha dow of His almighty protection. After the, reading, the 11ev. Mr. Thornton pro cdeded to address the Conference. - He paid a glow-, ing tribute to the work, energyland success of the Methodist Church in America, and to the success of its numerous .and valuable colleges and semi• naries of learning. An allusion to the publications of the Church was also made. A wish was ex pressed, in the most tender and feeling manner, that the foul blot of slavery might be removed from the escutcheon of our national glory. A committee was appointed to draft a reply to the address of the British Conference. A resolution was also passed requesting a copy of Thornton's address forlication. Robinsonß The address of the Row. Scott, of the Irish Conference, wale then read, and to-morrow at 10 o'clock was fixed for the hearing of Mn Robin. bon. The address of the Irish Conference says : We heartily respond to the sentiments of love and es teem expressed in your letter, dated at Buffalo, and hearing the signatures of your venerable Bishop Morris, and your secretary, the ReV. William L. Harris. We regret t hat your arrangements for holding the German Conference deprived `us of a xi4tatao-Mittwd-"Wilytt. -nrhich we had expected. growth and extension of ttinftkil&Clallrkilkil.r. Chureh, and anticipate for you a more glorious b. ture. The statistics with which you have kindly furnished us show an increase during your last quadrennial term, which has gladdened our hearts, and evoked our thankfulness to God. Your pros perity is our prosperity. We have observed with no unfriendly eye the rapid progress and unexam- Pied prosperity of your great Commonwealth; and we fully appreciate the grave - responsibility resting upon you as a- Church at the present time. In coal men with the great majority of our fellow-citizens, we deeply lament the existence of those evils which threaten to divide your beloved country. In the order of Divine Providence, nations, as well as individuals, in gaining positions of honor and in fluence, are subject to vicissitudes always painful and humiliating. Meanwhile, from our own public assemblies and private altars fervent supplications will ascend to our Heavenly Father, that the vexed question of negro slavery—the source of your re cent troubles—may find a just solution without in - relying, you for a protracted period in that worst of national calamities, a fratricidal war. In the special effort we are making for the in crease of our agency, so urgently demanded by the peculiar circumstances of our, position in this king dem,. your pecuniary aid, which you are pleased to say fell far below the obligations of American Me thodism to Ireland, as well as below the desire of your heartsowing to the fearful financial -revolu tion which in the midst of your efforts swept over your country, is highly valued by us, not only on ac count of the liberal sum contribute.l : but of the gene. runs sympathy elicited, Our Annual Conference, now drawing to a close, has been characterized by great harmony of feeling and unanimity of sentiment. The increase of our membership, though not as large as last year, is very. encouraging. The address closes in thanking them for the cordial reception of their beloved bro ther and representative, Rev. Robinson Scott. Sonic time was here consumed in discussing the bpowers of the. various committees, and of the num er that should constitute a quorum. Mr. Holley, of East Baltimore, moved a comthittee of five be appointed on colored members.

Sergeant Walsh, of the Sixth-Precinct po llee, was near to the premises, and, hearing the cry of a woman in distress, hurried to the said house and rushed up stairs to the third story. There he met Mrs. Sullivan and her four children and Mr. Sullivan leaving their apartments. The Sergeant says he distinctly saw the fire burning in Sullivan's room, apparently in or near to a bed. Ther smoke and fire spread rapidly, compelling tile Sergeant to make a hasty retreat. The same entrance also led to the third floor of the adjoining building on Dolor street, occupied by a German, named William Henning, whose family consisted of a wife and three small children. The flames extended from Sullivan's room across the stairway, cutting off all escape by the stairs. Soon after Mr. Henning was seen at the third-story win dow of his apartment, making signs to jump. The police and others called to him, begging him not to jump, as a ladder would soon be, there. However, the poor fellow became so pressed by the fire and smoke that he sprang from the window, landing on the sidewalk, breaking one of his logs and otherwise receiving serious if not fatal injuries. He was con veyed to the New York Hospital by the police_ Mr. Henning's family were unable to escape, and his wife and three children perished in the flames. When found by the police and firemen their bodies were completelyburned to a erisp.—N. Y. Ilerald,3d. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. TILE MONEY /MARKET. PHILADELPHIA, May 8, IM4. Gold was considerably excited to-day, and rose from 177 to 1.80, closing at 179. Government securities are without change. The money market is fully supplied, and symptom seem to point to a coming elate of ple thoza. The condition of the stock. market causes many and contrary opinions concerning its future. Many reason that prices, after falling so heavily, cannot possibly go much lower, while others think that the feelingof alarm is so extended that the bottom is not nearly reached. Victory and dofeat are each made alike to serve the cause of both bulls and bears, whowa-ste a huge amount of eloquence in endeavoring to inspire their followers with their sentiments. Out of all the theories there is but one truth to be deducted, and that is, that nobody can tell certainly anything about the future of, the stock market. Prices early in the day were weak, but toward noon looked seioo*hat -trooger.
