Never, in all the history of the Christian Commission, has there been such encourage ment for the unwearied prosecution of the work. From the army, from hospital and, caittp alike, come in to us accounts of the Influence of God’s spirit in the conviction id conversion of many soulb. The interest aus manifested in some neighborhoods should he extended to the whole. If ’pristians allover- the length and breadth •Stour land knew what the Spirit of God is Mng, and what the Spirit of God'can do, <(ey would feel compelled by every consideration faith in ana love to Goa to mtt forth every effort to aid the carrying on of the glorious work of Grace in the army. Delegates come home wondering at the openness and greatness of the field, and imploring us to extend the limits of our fields. To' meet their calls and the demands for the Gospel of thousands of soldiers throughout the army, the Christian Commission is taxed to the utmost limit. But just while every place is asking the treasury of the Commission is rapidly emp tying. Our agents are looking to us for support—support which we have promised them. Rut instead of extending we have to cur tail our wo'h. We appeal to-day to the Christian public for assistance. Goats work must not he neglected. Into Annapolis the returning Union pris oners are pouring, destitute and in want. Every sort of help we can send to them we need to send. Our agent thereus dispensing all that is furnished him- Will not our ■friends throughout the country, without waiting to hear from us, hold their meetings aud send ns the means of going forward. We cannot go backward. Every step taken in that direction must be a wrong done to the soldier and to Goa. George H. Stuart, C. C. C., 11 Bank Street, Philadelphia, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

Sessional Records will be presented for examination . • J. G. BUTLER, Stated Clerk. What We Owe to the Seeing Machine. —ln no invention that the ingennity of man has yet given to the world have we a more striking illus tration; of the old and sound proverb, “ Peace halh her vjjfopraaf ijar.” than inthe invention of the whienthe introduction bf t 3<?rfalzer 1 0l * life and lfkbor has Already wrought is without a parallel in history. A single firm in this country, engaged in the manufacture of clothing, annually disburses two hundred thousand dollars to operators on Sewing Machines, and it is estimated that more than thirty million dollars per annum are paid out by the various houses in this business iu New York, and Philadelphia for Searing Machine work, and that the aggregate of moneys thus paid out in .the United States annually exceeds the enormous Bum of two hundred millions. Under the growth of such statistics, Hood’s doleful “Song of the Shirt,” we ought to thank Heaven, is rapidly becoming obsolete, at least in its application to our own country. Iu reading over a carefully-prepared record of the Wheeler & "Wuson Sewing Machine Com pany, whose immense manufactory is located at Bridge port, Connecticut, and whoee business office and sales rooms in this city are located at 704 Chestnut, street, we gjrere amazed to find the almost fabulous proportions to which the business of this company has grown. It is but fifteen years since they, commenced operations, and, after steadily increasing their producing facilities from year to year,'their number of machines manufac tured in 1863 alone amounted to over fifty thousand. Notwithstanding this, they still find it impossible to meet the constantly increasing demand. It may safely be predicted also that the sales of the Wheeler A Wilson Machines for some years to come must increase! n geometrical progression. Five thousand of these ma chines, for example, are now in use in Philadelphia. Every one of them is a standing advertisement of its merits, which, together with the enterprising and judicious efforts made by the popular agent of the , company in this city, to let the people know that the best‘machine in the world is the Wheeler <£ Wilson. cannot fail to stimulate the demand for it ad infinitum. Wherever! it has been exhibited in comparison with oiher machines,it has carried off the victor’s palm. It has more scope 1 than any of its well adapted to a greater variety of work, and, owing to the simplicity.of its construction, it is less liable to get out of repair and more easily operated. Then, too, the courtesies, which this firm extend to the public are not overlooked. If it be inconvenient for the purchaser to visit the salesroom, the order may be forwarded to the office, 704 Chestnut street, where it will be as faithfully filled as if the selection had been made personally. Machines are thus forwarded to all parts of the country, .and; full’ instructions sent, which enable the most inexperienced to ope rate them without any difficulty. One of the great advantages of buying the “Wheeler & Wilson” is that the investment is not an experimental one, but ah absolute certainty; •We may also state that the Agency, 704 Chestnut street, has constantly on hand a large assortment of Ladies’ and Children’s Ready-made Clothing; also, that family sewing is there done to order, and operators, with or without machines, furnished at short notice. In short, the Wheeler A Wilson establishment, 704 Chestnut street, known by the beautiful wax figure in the window, is one of the industrial institutions of which Philadelphia may be justly proud.

I have recommended it to many of my friends and patrons, who now keep it constantlv in their houses. The quantity brought to Vicksburg by Messrs. and White is not sufficient for the demand, and I wish to' get a supply from you. I use a good deal of it in my practice, and could use more if it could be at all times got in Vicksburg. Send me twelve dozen bottles, care of Cobb, Manlove ,& Co., Vicksburg, Miss. Draw on me at sight. v I remain yourstruly, DOCTOR R. B. SCOTT. and Cold sudden changes of our climate are sources ot PULMONARY, BRONCHIAL and ASTHMATIC AFFECTIONS. Expe rience having proved that simple remedies often act speedily when taken in the early stages of the disease, recourse should at once be had to “BROWN’S BRONCHIAL TROCHES,” or Lozenges, let the cold, cough, or irritation of the. throat be ever so slight, as by this precaution a more serious attack may be effectually warded off.
