DANCING FOR THE SICK AND WOUND ED SOLDIERS, In one of the recent Sanitary Fairs:, a Christian lady was invited to attend a ball, but refused. With an expression great surprise, her friend replied : bat will you not dance for the sick wounded soldiers I" fo us the apparently sincere question :as startling. .We - thought how the midnight ball would look and sound to the suffering and dying men, if near their crowded hospitals. Wo notice, too, that in our " Quaker City," a few days since, throe or four thousand dollars were handed in to the Committee on Amuse ments," from a " private theatrical company" formed for the purpose. And we hoar that a doll valued at $5OO, is to be drawn by lottery in the great Fair at hand. Now, while we have nothing but kindest wishes for all proper efforts to aid our brave men, we ask in the name of Christianity, good morals, and good taste, if such means are justifiable at any time—especially in the midst of a nation al tragedy ? If the , design, or end of the action, sanctifies an appeal to dissipation, folly, and extravagance, then is there no standard of duty, and no final judg ment on the deeds of men. We do not take the stand-point of " Evangelical Christianity ;" but of any religious faith and rule of conduct, which contemplates morality, and the right culture of the young. Congregational.—Rev. Mr. Gear and other Congregationalists of this city, are'making an effort to organize another and more central church of this denomi nation. One gentleman, we understand, has pledged to the enterprise $lO,OOO. Henry Ward Beecher preached on the 15th inst., at Concert Hall, and Rev. Dr. Stone, of Boston, on the 22d, in behalf of the movement. THE GREAT STRUGGLE FOR THE UNION No general engagement has taken ace since our last issue. Both armies iVe been receiving reinforcements and aining fresh strength for a new effort. lay by day we have looked for the re 'mai of the great contest. It cannot ee long now before Gen. Grant will move upon the rebels. It will be seen that a movement has already com menced by which the rebels have been again compelled to fall back. As our space is somewhat limited this week, we give only a summary of the official dispatches from the Secretary of :War. An expedition sent out by Gen. Butler, succeeded in cutting the Danville Rail road and destroying a large iron bridge across the Appomattox. They met with some opposition, but repulsed the rebels at every point. We hold the railroad between Petelsburg and Richmond: Gen. Sigel met the enemy near New market, Va., bat was forced to fall back before superior numbers. He lost five pieces of artillery, about 600 killed and wounded and fifty prisoners. The Gov ernment is determined to keep the ranks of Grant's army up to the present num bers, and a draft is ordered to take place on the Ist of July, to fill the places of the one hundred day men. Gen. Crooks cut the E. Tenn. railroad in W. IT., and defeated the rebels. Gen.jenkins (rebel) fell into our hands mortally wounded. An effort was made by the rebels to turn the right of Grant's army on the 19th. This was handsomely repulsed, and some 300 prisoners taken. Over 26,000 veteran reinforcements have reached Grant. Gen. Hunter has been placed in command of the Department of West Virginia. Gen. Sherman is in possession of Rome, Georgia, where he found a large quantity of provisions and seven fine iron works and machine shops. The rebels have made several efforts tq close in upon Gen. Butler, but without success. He has captured the rebel Gen. Walker, of the Texas troops Gen. Grant has commenced a movement to compel Lee to abandon his position , near Spottsylvania. Up to this writing (May 24) he has met with no serious opposition. The rebels seem to be fal ling back. The Army of the Potomac has been rested; provisioned, reinforced and pat in new fighting trim. It has moved forward again in search of the enemy, and we hope to hear daily of a decisive, though it must be a bloody contest. Dispatch from the President of the Christ ian Commission FREDERICKSBURG, May 19.-4 arrived here hot evening, in company with Bishop .111011,vaine, of Ohio. We find the Christian Commission thoroughly organized at Belle Plain and this place. At this place alone we have over one hundred and seventy delegates. At all points our delegates are working nobly for the bodies and souls of our brave heroes. Besides nursing in the hospi las, they go and meet the long trains of Imbulanees coming in from the battle bf yesterday, and refresh the men with Lod and *ink. The same work is performed by our delegates at Belle Main. Bishop gellvame says, "Eye has not sou nor ear heaxd whet the Christian Commission has to do and is doing." I wish the whole Church could have hyn present at the delegates' prayer meeting in the grounds of this deserted mansion last evening, and heard the solemn ad dress of the Bishop and the prayer of a delegate who had heats of his son's death. Stir up the people at home to give us the means, Other battles must soon be fought. G33ORGE H. STUART. THE PUBLICATION CAUSE.

His career as a citizen, tradesman, philosopher, politician, statesman, diplomatist and author, presents a variety of incident, anecdote and history wholly without parallel. Yet, often and ably as his biography has been attempted, there cannot be said to have existed, heretofore, any really satisfactory account of his life and times. The course pursued by previous biographers has been to give the -fragments of autobiography, (written by Franklin for the benefit of youth,) and append to them a brief aoeount of Franklin's public career. Mr. Parton, en the contrary, by using the autobiography as material only, is enabled to employ the great mass of in teresting matter relating to Franklin's early life, which is to be found in the books, newspapers and correspondence of the period. His later life ale* is fully related in these volumes for the first time. Besides the stores of mate rial collected in our historical libraries, Mr. Parton has obtained much that is absolutely new, and much more that will be new to all but those:who have made the times of Franklin an object of special research. The publishers, who have peen witnesses of the re., markable industry /If the author, and the enthusiasm" wi t h which he has Armed hie labors, and who have the best reasons for knowing the very high appreciatiOn ,which has been placed upon his previous writingsby the public, confidently believe that this work will be found one of the most interesting and permanently valuable biographies ever published. - Parton's Life and Times of Aaron Burr; Much enlarged. 2 vele:, crown, Svo., steel portrait..

HAINES, CHAS. C. OZIAS, Late with E. IL Athens, Seventh and Market FRAGRANT SOZODONT. Only True Dentrlfice Known. - The public have long been in want of some conve nient, safe and beneficial Dentrifice, which could be relied on as having stealthy and preserving effect_on the teeth and gums. Hundreds of Worthless prepare& -tions have already been offered as such, in the .form, of powders,_ pastes and liquids, when a trial has only proved them injurious to the enamel of the teeth,. or else too inconvenient and unpleasant for daily use, so indispensable to the preservation of the teeth. The Sozodont is offered with all confidence as a Beautifier and Preserver of the Teeth, a scientific combination, every ingredient of which is known to have a beneficial influence on the teeth and gums, imparting a delightful and refreshing taste and feeling to the mouth, correct ing all disagreeable odors arising from decayed teeth, use of tobacco, bh. Its fragrance and convenience make it a pleasure to use it ; it is perfectly free from all acids or other ingredients having the least tendency to injure the enamel. • This popular Dentrifiee is now need and recommended by many of the first Dentists in the country, as well as by many of the most eminent Divines, Physicians, Chemists and Scientific Gentlemen of the day. The following eminent clergymen and their families, of New York city, together with hundreds of others, having used the SOZODONT, are convinced of its excellent and invaluable' qualities, and give it their most cordial com mendation.
