A CANDIDATE FOR PUBLIC FAVOR,
When Rev. Dr. Tying, of New York,
■was presiding, only three years since,
at one of the great ftiinivcraies in that
city, ho gracefully perpetrated the fol
lowing hit of pleasantry. Rising to
introduce one of the speakers, he re
marked that One of the pleasures of
presidingjon such an occasion was the
opportunity it gave to say a good word
for a worthy man to whom the audi
ence were about to listen, or to encour
age modest talent, or bring forward
rising genius, and itgave him peculiar
pleasure, he said, at that time, to intro
duce to the audience a young friend of
modest but genuine worth, one who
would yet make his mark in the world
if his life was spared—whereupon he
gravely announced '"
JOHN B. GOUGH, ESQ.
Of course, after that, the well-known
and eloquent orator was received with
uproarious applause, a considerable part
of which was: intended f6r the accom
plished presiding officer. We do not
ourselves expect the applause, and yet
we beg leave- in like manner, strange
as it may seem, to introduce to our
readers John B. trough, Esq. Wonder
ful man! He has lectured in this city
twice this winter; The first time our
great Corinthian Hall, which will seat
1500 persons, was so crowded, that af
ter that number were seated, aisles and
areas being all filled, hundreds more
Btill jwessed inside the doors, forming
-such ft W\Q99 of human beings as greatly
to incommode all preselll; while other
hundreds unable eyon to find standing
places returned to their homes without
hearing the lecture 1 .
Complaihts wasatonce nia.de. Some
body, it was said, was at fault, in sell
ing tickets for a larger number of per
sons than the hall would accommodate.
This week Hr. Gough appeared again,
and it whs published beforehand that
the number of tickets to he sold should
be limited to the capacity of .the house.
Many would have declined to buy if
this had not been announced. But still
many seemed to think they must g*
early, if they would got good seats.
The doors were to be open at 6$ o’clock;
lecture to commence at 74. A wild
winter storm was raging. Old Boreas
howled around the corners, and the
driving snow filled the air.
We thought—How many people
would go. to a prayer-meeting on such
a night as this?
And yet we must hear Gough, and
nrp most be in good season;;wo will be
the very first on hand when the door
©pens; and get a seat where we can
hear every word, and see every look. So
we are at the door before half-past six.
No, not at the door; for we could not
get within a hundred feet of it. Five
hundred or a thousand had thought
just as We had, only a little more so,
and were there before us. We stood
clear out in the street, on the outer
verge o'f a dense mass of human beings,
all eager to be first inside the Hall of
enchantihent, as it was to be that eve
ning. And when the doors flew open,
such a 1 rash! such crowding, pushing,
squeezing; such a crushing of crinoline,
and the like, as the whole mass tried-to
press at once into ’the narrow entrance.
All were good-natured indeed; but all
wanted to get in.
But after »mo fifteen or twenty mi
nutes of merciless squeezing we are in
side the hall. which is soon filled to its
utmost capacity, 1500 persons present,
all seated, and the doors are shut. Af
ter patiently waiting for nean- an hour,
the lecture begins, of which we need
say nothing, only that it was over two
hours long, and one of Gough’s best ef
forts, on Jm own peculiar theme, tem
perance. . . /"
And so lie passes through the land.
A similar scene was enacted on the pre
vious evening in Loekport. The suc
ceeding evening he was to be in.Canan
daigua, then Elmira; then Penn Tan,
Geneva, Auburn, Oswego, Oneida,
Utica; and so he is engaged on every
evening until the middle of Slay, when
he stops to rest for the summer. In
like manner he has already been em
ployed ever since- the middle of Octo
ber; and so he has boon at work, we
may add, for twenty years! having
spoken upon the subject of temperance
alone more than 4,800 times..
'Wonderful man! How ho endures
so much toil; why the physical and
mental machinery does not give way
under such prodigious efforts as he is
making night after night, is more than
we can tell.: But his health never
Beemed firmer, his voice never better,
hiß mingling pathos, word painting, in
vective wit, and drollery never more
enchanting. , Almost breathless we all
hung upon his lips, for the entire two
hours, and only wished we could hear
him two more. Truly, he has made his
mark; he is a power in the earth; mil
lions have felt the touch of his magic
wand, and have been made better by it.
But we wonder if the millions know
how unselfish, how noble his life is.
We have heard him denounced freely,
by some niggardly spirits, who never
gave much of anything in charity them
selves, for “taking a hundred dollars a
night for a temperance lecture.”
But suppose he leaves $2O0 —on the
same night, of his own hard earnings,
to some charitable object —is there any
thing very mean in that? And those
who thus censurb his course seem to
forget that he has heavy travelling ex
penses to pay, for himself and for some
one. whom he always takes with him
as a companion or helper. His agent
must also be paid, who makes all his
arrangements. And then it is well
known that he is always sustaining a
troop of friends and dependents. Two
years ago he had no less than six young
men in colleges, more or less dependent
on his aid in prosecuting their studies.
There is also, it is well-kitown, the en
tire family of his former benefactor, in-
Woreester, for whose ’support he be
came responsible a few years since.
And it may not be known to all that
he first consecrates one-tenth of allhis
income to the Lord; that-so much is
regarded from the first as sacred to re
ligious uses; so that he is accustomed
to give his hundred dollars at a time to
some at least of the great benevolent
institutions of the land. -He makes his
• thousands—near a score of them, per
haps—every year; and yet he hoards
■nothing'; lie gives almost all away; he
is not rich.
Surely, if these facts were known, no
One could find fault with him for taking
due hundred dollars for a ieihpefaiidd
lecture; and all would hid him God
speed, in his arduous, useful, glorious
work.
A MATCH FOR HUMISTON.
What tales many of our soldiers can
tell; what sights they have seen.
Riding a few days since in the cars
with one of Uncle Sam’s men, we fell
into conversation. He was in the seven
day’s fight before Richmond, and .went
out with others after one of their most
sanguinary gather up
the wounded, and do whrfk they could
for the dying- They found their com
rades in all imaginable conditions of,
mutilation and suffering; and among
others, was a man stone dead, leaning
in a sitting posture against a fence,
where ho had evidently crawled whilst
strength remained to do so. With one
cold hand he was still clasping his- gun,
and in the other, extended.'at arm’s
length, there rested a fair daguerreotype
of what was supposed to be a daughter;
aud bib leaden eyeballs were still’turnod
in that direction, as though he were
gazing upon the precious face and form.
Our informant was himself a father,
and a noble specimen of a soldier. He
said the sight was, for a few moments,
too much for him. His own loved ones
came So vividly before him, and the idea
that he had just escaped mercifully from
a like separation forever from them,
overpowered him, and unbidden tears
fell like rain. But there was not much
time for tears. He gently removed the
cherished picture from the dead hand,
and put it in the way of reaching the
surviving relatives; and a precious relic
in some home circle that must he; prized
indeed it should ever be, by the one
whose face and form were evidently such
a comfort to a husband and a father,
whilst dying for his country.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
RELIGIOUS INTEREST IN THE ARMY.
Since Hast wrote to you, I have spent
some days in the army; and am happy
to say that the religious interest ©f which
you have often heard, is a blessed
reality.
I. preached last Sabbath morning at
the Head Quarters of the 3d Division
of the 2d Corps. The morning was fair,
but windy, a large congregation assem
bled—l suppose three thousand men.
It was arranged that the men should
be inarched to the place of public wor
ship in regiments, with their officers at
their head, and from the hills, there
streamed down, the veteranS of an hun
dred battles; and there gathered under
my ej T e men from every country of
Europe. In the eight or more regiments
present, there were representatives of
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Indi
ana and West Virginia. In all these,
the impression is in the army that the
religious interest is uncommon and
marked. The chaplains of the 4th and
Bth Ohio, the Bev. Messrs. Stone and
Millar, were mpre than ever encouraged
in their work.
In the afternoon of the Sabbath, I
preached in the Hew Jersey Brigade of
the 3d corps, arid found here a Brigade;
Chapel, neatly finished and furnished
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, FEB HD AS Y 25 , 1864.
and most attractive to soldier. I was
glad to learn that there was a manifest
increase of religions feelings. Meetings
have been held in this chapel every night
for weeks, and several cases of hopeful
conversion are reported.
At night I preached in a Brigade:
Tent erected in the Excelsior Brigade of
the 3d corps. Here I found working
with the most fervent zeal for the salva
tion of men, that remarkable mdn,
“Uncle John Yassar,” who has been
for a long time in the employ of the
American Tract Society of Ne.w Yolk.
He possesses, in the highest degree, the
love and confidence of the soldiers, and
with an earnestness almost apostolic,
he never tires of the work of winning
souls. I have met few men- in the
army or elsewhere, more awake to the
interests , of another life than this man
In charge of this chapel and its services
is the. Rev. Mr. Eastman, a son of Mr.
Eastman of the Tract Society, New
York.- This young brother has coE
lected a email library: for the. soldiers;*
and-fitted up tables and chairs in the
chapel for the soldiers to write, read
and study. The chapel-, could not con
tain one-half that crowded to its doors.
Some Officers remained for. prayer .after
the services had ended. ■
On Monday I went to the Ist Division
of the 3d Corps, and preached in.., the
evening in the Tent of the Christian
Commission: I found here the Rey, MrT
Whitney and Rev. Mr. HolmeS,-srom
Maine; both of these .brethren-p*ere
among, the voluntary laborers, sent or
rather aided by the Christian Commis
sion to reach the army. Their labors
here are most gratefully appreciated
and blessed with the, richest .fruit..
They hold a meeting every night, and
a prayer meeting each morning. The
Jentj the night- Ispentiiere, w&S&fiC
of the inost hallowed and sacred spots. ■
But few of the regiments in this
division have chaplains, and hence there
is the greater necessity for just such
efforts as those put forth by the agents,
of the Christian Commission.: Whenever
the Comraipsion has erected a large
tent for public worship, the good dotfe
thereby cannot be told. It-has made
divine services a certainty,ffor, whatever
the storminess of the heavens, men
could assemble to sing; and pray. It
soon has been invested with 'all the
solemnity and awe of the most-sacred
spot o*n earfh? Hundreds*; of
now find their greatest' joy in ithose
places of worship, and spend houmhere
in reading, singing and devotion. Whus
they gird themselves for the toil 5 and
sacrifice of the future.
DESERTERS FROM THE REBELS.
On the morning of my return, I saw
standing on the platform at Brandy
Station, waiting for the train, more
than forty rebel deserters. They
clothed in the heterogeneous and un
couth garments which invest the
southern soldiers. I was surprised tty
see these men bo comfortable. They
had indeed the look of men to whom
water was a strange luxury, and of
whom their officers were carelesß, and
they indifferent to their fate; but at the
same time they had hot the wretched,
haggard look of men fed on half
rations. They had fled to us simply
because tired of the war, and hopeless*
of the future. Thby had read
dent’s Amnesty Proclamation. ’ -
The number of these escaping rebda
is about thirty a day.
THE OFFICERS ESCAPED FROM LIBBY
Quite a sensation has been produced
here by the presence of several of the
officers of our army who have escaped
from .Richmond during the last few?
days. '■ - .v.
Their first plan of escape,-a®: they
represent, was to dig and-undermine
walls to the sewer leading from the
prison to the canal; but when they
reached the sewer the air was so foul
that they conld not breath it five min
utes and live. This plan was* then
abandoned, and they turned to tunnel
under Carey street, opposite the prison.
After burrowing under the wall several
feet, they came'to a firmly set row of
piles-made of the wood of the largest
trees. These they chipped away with
pen knives, and a small ' chisel. At
length this obstruction yielded, and
after four weeks of incessant toil, they
found themselves near the .p.oint of:
promised egress. The earth, as it was
dug out, was dragged back in a spit-,
toon to which a rope was attached, and
the excavated earth was concealed
under a pile of refuse straw, in a Cellar.
The point of egress waß in a wagon
or lumber yard opposite- the prison.
Here, sheltered from the eye of the
guard by a high board fence,- the entire
number in the plot one' hundred and
twenty-nine, made their way to the
open air; many, no doubt, to be retaken,
but the majority to escape. Two of
these officers are now lying in Douglass
Hospital, with froßt-bitten feet. Their
Story is that scon after escaping out of
PRISON.
Richmond, they separated into small
bands of three and four. Another, with
the two mentioned, found their way to
the banks of the Chickahominy, to the
right of the York River Railroad, and
when skirting along the bank to find a
place of crossing, they heard behind
them the bayiiig of blood bounds.
They concealed themselves in a clump
of bushes ; the hounds came nearer, and
it was evident the dogß were on their
scent. One* of the officers arose and
hastened away. The howl Of the ani
mals came nearer; the other two arose
and followed in their companions track,
and advancing a few rods, suddenly
sprang to the right, and lay down again.
In a moment, the dogs rushed past
them, and their companion was seized.
The two escaped, wandered still further
■down the river, and at length entirely
exhausted with hunger, and despairing
of finding a. way, they called to a negro
man who: came near -to .them. He?
advised them to remain concealed until
night, and he would then come to their;
aid; As soon -as it was dark, the good
’negro brought to them a bucket of corn
bread ana- bacon. Strengthened and
wanned by this, their black -friend led
them several miles down the river to
the hut of a friendly colored man. He
took them into a small boat, and rowed
them down the stream many miles until
daylight, and brought them far on their
way to Willi amsburgb. Their dangers
were now nearly ended. The next day
• they were found by bur cavalry, sent
out by Gen. Butler to pick up and help
in such a&.might be near.
All these escaped officers spbak in the
warmest terms of gratitude of the kind
ness of negroes, who guided and fed
them. , ,
May all escape! Out of this adven
ture will come one of the most interest
ing chapters of the future history of
sacrifices and adventures undergone in
the rebellion. J- J. M.

A OHUROH NEEDED
FOR THE COLORED POPULATION OF THE
WESTERN DART OF TIIE CITY.
* ■ *■
.In this time of pressing appeals, when
the claims of the needy abroad are call
ing to the Christian and the philan
thropist and are receiving a commen
dable degree of attention, is there not
some danger lest; the needy who are
.immediately among us' niay be over
looked "aud their wants neglected ?
; On several occasions the wants of the
-eoiored# people of Philadelphia, have
been noticed in these columns. The
Winter would now call the attention of
and Of the benevolent to
some facts in regard to the religious'
condition and wants of this class of our
. people, which are calculated to arouse
our sympathies and to summon us to
a ction.
There are in the city of Philadelphia
about 23,000 colored people. A large
majority of them are sober, industrious,
and intelligent, sustaining themselves
byTabor in various ways; many of them
in the capacity of servants, scattered
promiscuously over the city. These
people have eighteen churches of their
own, with an average capacity of 300.
Sixteen of those churches are located
between Ninth St. and the Delaware;
two of them (which are Baptist) are lo
cated between Ninth and Eleventh Sts.
It will be seen from this that there is
not a place of worship -for the colored
people from Eleventh ‘St. west to the'
Schuylkill.
When we reflect that our city is
spreading out rapidly westward,it isnot
hard to perceive the growing and press
ing want of a place of worship for those
people in that quarter. Other facts
may be mentioned to. Show the need of
greater accommodations of a religious
character for the colored population.
Of these 23,000- people, there are
4,000 in communion with these eighteen
churches. Those .worshipping in Ro
man Catholic churches do hot amount
to more than two hundred, which is the
extreme number. The sum total of
those who are in church communion,
and of- those not members who attend
worship on Sabbath does not exceed
7000. -
■Where then are the 16.000 people
who do' not attend any place of worship ?
To reach a portion of . these people
and to.provide for the old and children,
and many who .are at service in the
western part of the city, should not
something be done by Christians at this
time? ■ _" .. ■ -. C.

HELP POE THE CHEROKEES.
It is a sad that the feeble Chris
tian nation for whom, thirty years ago,
Jeremiah Evarts in the press, and
Theodore Frelingliuysen in the Senate
so eloquently appealed, is again suffer
ing from wrongs of white men. The
only loyal Indian nation, and perse
cuted and starving as a result of traitor
malice, they look to their Christian
brethren for aid. The ease is urgent.

The communications of Ohief\Ross
show, that; after a brief and enforced
subjection to rebel rule, at the outbreak
Of the rebellion, the Cherokees hailed
the first advance of the national forces
into their territory, as the signal of
deliverance, and rushed by scores and
by hundreds to the standard of the
Union, showing ah alacrity in volun
teering surpassed by none-of the loyal
States. To this standard : they, have
since been . faithful and have rendered
efficient service to our cause.
A retrograde movement of our forces
however, in July, 1861; again threw
open the territory to the forces of the
rebels, and the. consequence was "that
great' numbers of the people were com
pelled to leave tlieii' homes and fly
northward. The Condition of these
fugitives, composed, mainly of women,
children, the aged and infirm, was one
of great destitution and suffering,
resulting in much sickness and death.'
In December 1862, an improvement
was made in their condition,by removing
them,to Neosho, Mo.- Here they were
were well.cared for by the Government
authorities, and they enjoyed religious
privileges Under the instructions of the
chaplain of the 2d Indian Regiment.
Last April they were taken back to
the Nation and commenced work, but
it was soon found that the rebels bn the
south of the Arkansas had been largely
reinforced, and that the small force,
under the command of Col. W. A.
Phillips, was insufficient to protect the
country from murderous raids, while
putting, in and cultivating their crops.
The three regiments composing the
Indian Brigade were employed for the
most part in fortifying Fort Gibson
and guarding trains, and the laborers'
on the farms were virtually abandoned
to theii' fate. The enemy made fre
quent raids for murder and plunder;
and though they have heen repulsed
and defeated, and whipped in, eyery
battle, the force under Col. Phillips
was quite inadequate to afford protec
tion to the pe'ople at their homes, and
the result is that scarcely anything
was raised the past season, and the
supplies are so scanty that intense
: suffering prevails among the people,
and still greater is anticipated.
A letter written to the Chief from
Fort Gibson, January 11th, 1864, de
scribes the suffering among the women,
children and soldiers from the extreme
cold then prevailing, the mercury
having gone several- degrees below
zero, on New Year's Day. The writer
continues: ,
Short rations, scant clothing, no
houses, or shelter amid these furious
winds and pelting storms have been
fearfully distressing, and at a meeting
of some of. the leading men the-other
day, I could not restrain giving ex
pression to feelings ofpity and indigna
tion. The-'eontrast between the past
and present was too overwhelming to
be longer borne in silence. Then we
were - more than ; twenty thousand
strong, with a government and laws of
our own; the sun Shone upon our
happy homes, upon our productive
fields, upon our grazing, herds—-now
•all was changed, our children no longer
wended their way to school, the fire
had ceased to burn on the' domestic
hearths, the voices of prattling children
were not.heard around them; hundreds.
of stout men, bender women and feeble
children now rest beneath these icy
clods; not one head throughout the’
length and breadth of the land was
pillowed in peace; respectable females,
who had not known want, were how.
seen shivering around the agent’s office'
mendicants for a pair of Shoes and a
yard of-domestic, without a morsel of
bread to eat, , while our cattle that
grazed upon a thousand hills have dis
appeared, our council fires were extin
tin guislied, and. we had the forms but
■not the substanee of freemen, every thing
being in the hands of rulers not of their
own choice.; they had submitted long
enough to empty promises from , eon
tractors for supplying them with, bread,
and should know of the contractor when
supplies would be delivered. :
The commander here I. believe has
done, and will do, all he can to relieve
the wants of the people. I attach up
blame to him, but there, is culpability
somewhere, and, in my opinion, if rests
with contractors. There have been no
issues of flour here for Some time to
many persons, and there is not only-,
actual destitution but positive suffering.

his party killed nine or ten men on that
raid, including two pickets near him—
William C. Boss, at Park. Hill, old
Charles Manning and others. In the
fight at Shelton's place he was whipped
by our men, and had sortie of his party

Among the victims of violence I regret
to add the name of David Vann. He

up to his house, just at dark, called him
out on the porch, and shot him through

HONORABLE DEALING.
Subscribers who have allowed several
weeks of a new year to pass before
announcing their intention to discon
tinue the paper, and who then think it
merely necessary to return the papei)
or to inform the Post-master of the
fact, must not think it strange if we
pay no attention to such notices, and.
hold them responsible, as we may fairly
and legally do, for the entire year’s sub
scription. There may be good reasons
on the part of subscribers for thus with
drawing from a contract; if so, let thein
be communicated to us by writing and
they will receive due attention.
THE CHRISTIAN COMMISSION.
Our readers will find a large amount
of concurrent testimony in behalf of
this great enterprise in our columns of
this week. Our correspondent writing
from Knoxville and Chattanooga, our
Washington Correspondent, a friend
writing from Camp Convalescent, and
our valued contributor to the Children’s
Departnient,« M. E. M.,” severally have
an emphatic word for the cause. It.is
a fact worth noticing, however, that this
testimony is all unsought on our part,,
and its concurrence in this week’s,pa
per altogether unpremeditated. It is a
voluntary, and so much the more signi
ficant tribute to the extraordinary pow
er, extent, and excellence of the work
ings of the Commission. Good men in
and out of the army, in public and in
private stations, chaplains and laborers
in every sphere for the welfare of our
soldiers, are recognizing, as they have
never before done, the fitness of this
great instrumentality for the blessed
and patriotic object it has in view, and
the wisdom, purity, and efficiency of its ■
administration. We have no hesitation
in commending it as deserving of the
first place, in the sympathies of all Chris
tian people, desiring to contribute to the
-bodily and spiritual welfare of our
brave soldiers. Let us daily remember
its officers and agents in our prayers
and liberal offerings. '
REVIVALS.
Central Church, Wilmington.—We
are glad to learn that a very extensive,
though quiet, work of grace has been
going on in this church for the past few
weeks, under the regular ministrations
of the word. As many as sixty or se
venty persons have - been in attendance
at an inquiry meeting, and it is hoped
that from thirty-five to fifty have expe
rienced a saving change.
Revival. —The pastor of Hanover
St. Church, Wilmington, writes:
“God has given us a special and very
blessed visitation of his Spirit- in pur
church. The church has been revived,
and sinners have been, led to Christ.
Some forty are hoping that they have
found Him, and the work goes on.”
