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.

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.

We have encouraging reports from the army of the
Pain Killer. One writes: —
“My little bottle of Pain Killer was worth more to me
than its weightin gold. The fatigue of our first week’s
march and exposure, which put so many of otir noble
fellows on the sick list, thanks to that little bottle, only
left me stronger and hardier than when I left horde; It
cured a comrade of the camp diarrhea in a few hours.’

with Mrs. WINBLO,W’S SOOTHING SYRUP, and have
used it for several years, and.have been pleased with its
effects. 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
