THE LADIES' NATIONAL. COVENANT.
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

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

(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

upon the first day that the ears and stripes should

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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.

A FAMILY BMINED TO DEATIL—At 2 ()Week s!ex
terday morning a fire broke out in the dwelling
apartments of John Sullivan, situated at No. 2.10
Chatham square, corner of 'foyer street, on the
third floor, the entrance to which is at No. 1 - Myer
Street. 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. Reading opened at 041 i, rose

The New York Evening Pod says,
The loan market is easy and inactive at 7 per cent.,
with an increasing, tendency to lower rates. The one
hundred millions of two-year .5 per cent. legal tenders
will become currency on the Ist of June, when they
lose their first coupons. The anticipation of this addi
tion to the carve/it of the circulation, and of the infla
tion which must result, is already beginning to operate
- on the stock exchange.'
