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."

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.
