hundred thousand seamen come to and go from the city annually. Many of these were brought up in worthy familibs, by Presbyterian fathers and mothers, and the most tender and sacred associations Of their childhood and early youth are in connection, with the Sabbath-school and Presbyterian Church. But hitherto no church provision has been made for these men in this city. There are also many Sbotch sailors and Scotch-Irish sailors, Who are nearly all from Presbyterian families. These, too, prefer the church of their fathers, its faith and forms of worship. They are so strongly attached to. the Presbyterian form of worship, that they are seldom willing .to attend church anywhere else." BAPTIST. ,THE BAPTISTS In, MAINE.--- . 4 corres pondent of the National Baptist reports that therware in Maine 13 ,, Baptist Asso ciations, 218 churches, 185-1 , ordained ministers, and 20,423 members. The ages of the four' ministera deceased dur ing the year, .were reipectively . 60, 87, 90, and 92 years. The letter has also the following pleasant paragraph : "Al! the associational gatherings appear to have been pleasant Occasions ; and at many of them revivals, were reported. The churches ia the York Association had been the‘inostifavored in this respect, 152 having been added by - baptism dur ing the year, raising the total number of members from 869 in 1863, to 1014 in 1864." And the following, not so plea- Sant " There have been about the usual number of pastoral changes during the past year, and these are far too numerous for ministerial' efficiency or church pros perity ; but they najse partly from habit, and partly from' necessity. It is very difficult for a 'minister' to please every one. AA most of the' churches are small and feeble, when a few get dissatisfied with the pastor, the majority'nre very likely to yield to the minority in order to, retain their subscriptions.

The Ter centenary contributions amounted to over $103,000. This c 3nannernoration has given a new impulse to the theological and benevolent activities of the Reformed Church in this country.

THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY - 19, 1865. MTH STATES REMY COMM From U. S. San•Uary Bulletin MRS. PARRISH'S LETTER. ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 8, 1864. OUR PRISONERS FROM SAVANNAH. No human tongue or Pen can`ever describe the horrible iivitta g yie.have witnessed this Two mumD BAD CASES. I was early at the landing, 8i o'clock in the morning, before the boat threW out her ropes for security. The first one brought two hun dred bad cases, which the naval surgeon told me should properly go, to the holpital near by, were it not that others were coming, every one of whom was in the most Wretelie - d con dition imaginable. They irere, ,, therefore, sent in ambulances to CaniP Parole `hospital, distant two miles, after being washed and fed at the barracks. . A DECK LOAD OF TER DYING In a short time another boat-load drew near, and oh I such a scene of suffering,hu manity I desire never to behold again, The whole deck was a bed of stiaw for our ex hausted, starved, emaciated, dying fellow creatures. Of the five hundred and fifty that left Savannah, the Surgeon informed me not over Imo hundred would survive ; fifty had died on the passage ; three died while -the boat was coming to the land of liberty: ' I saw five men dying as they were carried on stretchers from the boat to the Naval Hos pital. The stretcher-bearers were ordered by Surgeon D. Vanderkieft to pause a moment that the names of the dying men,might be obtained. To the . credit of the officers and I their assistant it should be knowrithat every thing was done in the w most systematic and careful manner. Each stretcher had four at 'tendants, who stood in line and, came --_up ; promptly, one after the mpther, to receive the sufferers as they were carried off'the boat. There was no confusion, no- noise ; all acted with perfect military order. AM it was a solemn funeral service to many a brave sol dier that was thus being performed by kind heaxts and hands. - TICE INSANE. Some had become insane f, their wildgaze and clenched teeth convinced the observer 'that reason had fled ; others were idiotic ; a few lying in spasms; perhaps the realiza , tion of the hope. long cherished, yet oft.de ferred, or the welcome sound of the music, sent forth by the military band, was more than their exhausted nature', could bear. When blankets were thrown over them, no 'one would have supposed that a human form lay beneath, save for the small prominence which the bony head and feet indicated. > Ohl God of justice, what retribution awaits'the perpetrators of 'such slow and awful murder. VERMIN AND DISEASE, The hair of some was matted together, like beast of the stall which lie down in their own - filth.. Vermin are over- theta , in abundance. Nearly every man wab darkened by scurvy or black with rough scales, and with scorbutic sores. One.in particular was, rednced.to the merest skeleton ; his face, neck, and feet covered with thick, green mould. A number who had Governnient clothes given them on the boat were too feeble to put them on, and were carried ashore partially dressed, hugging their clothing with a death grasp that they could not'be persuaded to yield. It was not unfrequent to hear a man feebly call s as he was laid on a, stretcher, " Don't take my clothes ; " " Oh, save my new shoes;" "Don't let my socks go back 'to Andersonville." In their wild death-struggle, with -bony arms and hands wctended, they would hold up their new sacks, that could not be put on because of their swollen limbs, saying, " Save , 'em till I get home." Ina little while, however, the souls of many were released'from their worn out-frarnea. and borne to that higher home where all things are registered for a great day of account. .. • ^ t „, AN "APPEAL TO OHAItiTT: Let our friends at horde have open purses and willing hands to keep up the supplies for the great demand that must necessarily be made upon them. Much raw must yet be` done. Thousands now languish in Southern sons, that may yet be brought thus far towaid home. Let every Aid society be more diligent, that the stores of the Sanitary Commission may not fail in this great work. OUR WOMEN; We want to say that the aid societies. are as diligent as ever. The testimony comes to us from all quarters that the supplies are in creasing, because the faithful women of the land continue •to be faithful. Some, it is true, ,have grown cold, and, if they work at all, work in another direetion. But their Juke; warmness:is compensated for by the zeal of others, and by the forming of new 'societies in new neighborhoOds. The work neveraieciked brighter in the btighter days of our history., We say to our women, then, go on, you have been the means of saving thousands of lives; you have comforted tens of thousands of suf ferers, and the call is for you to persevere.' Every garment you have made, every comfort you have contributed, has been so much added to the strength of the nation; and every bless ing that has been ,uttered by soldiers; and many more that have , beeri too deeply felt to be uttered, have fallen` 'Upon you from trent: bling lips or burdened hearts, but to stiinu :late your zeal and cheer your -hearts.

The high reputation of , our CABINET ORGANS has frequentlY induced dealers to represent that other instruments are the same, thing—that there is no essen tial difference betweVirthe CabidefOrgans and Organs • with various names, made by other makers. This is `not trite. The exeellences of our Cabinet Organs, which have given them their high reputation, are the result not"me,rely of the superiority or thdir work manship. but alSo an Large measure of essential differ ences.of oonstruegen. which, being patented, cannot hewn ployed l yother*makers. These are 'essential to their better quality and voliime of tone and eterival 'led capacity of expression. When a dealer represents another instrument as Vie same thing as the Cabinet organ..it, is usually an attempt; to sell an inferior in strument on which he can make a Jaeger profit.

IRON IN-THE BLOOD., It is well known to the medical profession that IRON is the VITAL PRINCIPLE or LIFE ELE MENT of the blood. This is derived chiefly from the -food we eat; but if the food is not properly digested, or it.from any cause whatever, the necessary ouantitY of iron is not taken into the circulation.. or beatonee reduced, the whole system suffers. The bad blood will irritate the heart. will clog up the - lungs,' *ill stupefy the brain, will obstruct- the liver, and will send its disease-producing elements to all parts of the system, and'every one will. suffer in whatever organ may be pile disposed to disease. The great value'of IRON AS A MEDICINE is well known and acknowledged by all medical men: The difficulty has been to obtain such a preparation of it as will enter the circulation and assimilate at once with the blood.
