Miudlantiono. FACTS AND FIGURES. It is an old saying that "figures are hard facts." It is an old philosophy, too, that teaches the wisdom of judging by facts. It is a fact that we are still in the midst -of a rebellion- that for nearly four years past has writers its history in blood and sorrow. It is a fact that huladrecls of. thousands of en have - Veen sick, wounded, and slain, in consequence of this rebellion. It is a fact that hundreds of thousands "'ore are now exposed to the dangers •and .Tivations of the camp and the march, that II! tens of thousands they. continue to fall !..y sickness and wounds, and that so long as 11. e rebellion shall live, the sad !record of •ffering will continue to characterize our istory as a nation. It is a fact that the people have said that e army and navy shall be sustained amid 11 their hazards and toils ; and that all the ..achinery of government .which has been id under contribution to serve this end, •=hall be sustained also. It is a fact that the President and all the epartments under his control; that Con :. ess, with all its legislative wisdom; and the people in the majesty of numbers, and •-ith the eloquence of unity, have resolved o stand fast by our soldiers and sailors, and , ustain them while they sustain the laws. • • It is a fact that neat to the_ goverhment, he people have been represented most earnestly and faithfully in the principles and work of the United States Sanitary Commission. It is a fact that the Sanitary Commission has distributed supplies to the soldiers and sailors of our forces, valued at $8,406,272; and this estimate is much lower than the goods would have cost, it• they had been purchased. It is a fact that the expense of distribu ting over $2,250,000 worth of supplies, as reported by the Western Department one year ago, was $35,000, or one and one-half per cent., and that all statements to the contrary are false. It is a fact that previous to July Ist, 1864, the cost of distribution in all the depart. ments was but three and seventy-six one hundreths per centum (3.76) of the value of the supplies ; and that the large amount of anti-scerbutics and other stores forwarded to the Army of the Potomac, which necessi-• tated the chartering of boats at the present high prices, has only increased the total cost of distribution to four and eighty-eight one hundreths per mutual. It is a fact that none of our agents are simple carriers of supplies, but relief agents ; relief agents in the largest sense of the term; and that including them in the account of 1 " cost of distribution," we include a vast work of beneficent charity in the (4.88) oat of distribution. It is a fact that at a single centre of Spe cial Relief, in Washington, 121,047 nights; lodgings have-been given to our soldiers, in white sweet beds ; and that 359,816 substan tial meals have been given at tables, besides .which many thousand more meals have eon given to steamboat loads, and car loads .f wounded, at all hours of the. day and ight. It is a fact that there are twenty two of these Special Relief Stations in the - orth and West, and that the meals and hetter furnished to our men, in transitu om the army, may be counted by millions nnually. It is a fact that the people have contrib ted with a freedom and generosity un ,qualled in any other age or nation of the • orld, to the Sanitary Commission, as the .est and cheapest instrumentality within heir reach for supplementing the appliances of the best of governments. It is a fact that the more the people ex amine the work of the Commission, the more they are satisfied with its Christian 81-iriciples, its lofty purposes, and its econo mical plans. From the classification and arrangement , f these general facts and figures, it is evi ent that the work that has been done itherto is very large; that the good govern ,. era, the brave army, and the loyal people, :.eing all united in the one grand purpose of -eying the country, as they look back upon he past,—count the demands of the pre sent,—and estimate the wants of the future, aye agreed that they must each rely upon he other, for the conduct of the future, as hey have done in the past, and that the :ame class of results will follow, from the same kind of earnest labor. The work is sure to go On. The tendency is more and more to unity ; the peoPle are ecoming one in spirit and purpose ; fac ions and factious oppositions, are being sed into a current that flows toward a omtuon centre; and the grand record is' being made, of a nation. united in its bene actions to the army, .I , t it is in its purpose o cheer that army in its struggle for Union and liberty. A NEW EDITOR.-Our city cotemporary,the Presbyterian Standard, announces the engage ment of Rev. Alfred Taylor, 'of Bristol, Pa., as an Associate Editor. The -Presbyterian, noticing the announcement, says :—" By this arrangement we lose one of our most spright ly and - piquant contributors, and part with him with regret. We hope that he will find more intimate connection with journalism pleasant, while he increases his own useful ness by enlarging the - field of his labors." A MERITED COMPLIMENT.--The Mayor and Councils of Philadelphia have unani mously passed a resolution of thanks to Professor E. D. Saunders, D. D., of The Courtland Saunders Institute, " For the great good he has done in saving by hi untiring energy the city from the draft." OBITUARY On the morning of the 17th inst, in the 52d year of his age, Shuman Kim - . berly, an elder in the Presbyterian ch of Clarence, N. Y., quietly slept Jesus. He had long professed Christ, sand was an active and faithful member tof the church. He suffered much, but patiently, during his last days on earth. His hope in Christ was firm and strong. The church has lost a pillar and hit ity a sincere friend in.

The commencement of a winter's work of great interest is upon us. Orders for about two hundred chapel tents, flies, houses, &c., in which, during the days of the soldier's in action, the word of God may be preached, have been received, and are in the various stages of filling. Large buildings are in course of erec tion in the ; army operating against Richmond; and houses from Cinainnati have been sent to the Army of the:Cumberland. The work of grace which was inaugurated during last win ter in the chapels in Virginia bids fair to , . com mence again as soon as the preparations for., comfortable services are completed At such a time as this, the Commission feels that the churches of the country can have no better way open to them for extending mis sionary operations than by erecting houses of God in the wilderness that our brave boys_who have gone out from their homes may have the gospel preached to them. Already some chlirches have moved in the matter: but what is to be done should be done quickly.. ' And we must not forget that each day is bringing into Annapolis many of 'our brothers and friends who have passed through sufferings numberless in prison, and who now are need ing all manner of comforts.. We must, if they are unable to get farther than the hospitals, carry them. TO the hospitals, and make the days of the closing year happier to them than any have been before them. GEORGE H.
