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. Alas 1 for
leth'majority and minority." '
MIILADELPInIA.—The same paper re
ports special religious interest in the
Twelfth Church and tle Falls of. Schuyl

niary compliments to pastors, we notice
one of $5OO to Dr. J. H. Kennard, of
the Tenth Church; one of $350 to Rev.
P. S. Henson, of the Broad Street
Church, and " substantial tokens' of re
gard" to Rev. W. G. Siegfried, of the

' HARTFORD, JONN.—A correspondent
of the Watchman and Itefiector, speaks'
gratefully of his own share in the work
of revival which has been enjoyed at
Hartford. On the first Sabbath of the
new year, twenty-one converts were bap
tized at the South, and twenty at the
North Baptist Church.
MIDDLETOWN, VT.—The same paper
has a letter which says, " The Lord has
visited us at Middletown, with his sal
vation, this winter, and some thirty or
forty converts have irofessed faith in
Christ, while backsliders have been re
claimed, and God's people much refresh
ed. The Lord be praised."
GERMAN REFORMED.
REvzaw of TnE YZAIL—The German
Reformed. Ifessenger, running over the
condition of its church !luring the last
year; 'among other things, says:.,..
"The most prominent feature of the
past year was the Convention, held at
Reading, Pa., in May last, to close, with
appropriate services, the three hundredth
anniversary of the adoption.of the Hei
delburg Catechism, the Shakspeare Ter
centenary, and , the Tercentenary comme
moration of Calvin's death. 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 rebels de
stroyed our printing establishment in the
burning of Chambersburg, inflicting a
loss which men of reliable judgment say
could not be replaced With less than .
$60,000. This• led te,the removalpf our
publication operations•: to Philadelphia. •
"The receipts for missions have been
larger than any previous year... Despite
the highs prices •of building material and
labor, many .iciew churches 'have been
consecrated, and Many are now being'
erected in a style ,superior to that of
former years. , •
The mind of the-Reformed Church is
awake 'to the importance of providing a
Nem healthy literature for the young..
The endowment of Franklin and, Mar
stall College, has been completed by an
addition of $30,000 to its .fund. The
Theological Seminary at Mercersburg
prospers. It numbers as many students
as at any previous session. The /ate
Synod of Lancaster alias' established a
third professorship, to be endowed by
Tercentenary 'funds
"The Reformed Church in fie

her .domain. Heidelberg College, at

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. Go on I

MASON 86 HAMLIN'S
CABINET ORGANS.
• MASON'. HAMLIN respectfully invite attention•
to the fact that their Cabinet Organs are, by the
written testimony of a MAJORITY OF .THE MOST
EMINENT ORGANISTS AND
MUSICIANS. ,IN
AMERICA, as well as. a nurnber of - distinguished
artists of other countries)declared to be unequalled
by any similar instrument—" THE BEST OF THEIR

will'be glad to Send to any one desiring it, an illus
trated eatalogue of styles and prices, with a largo'
amount of this testimony.
CAUT/ON TO PURCHASERS.
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.

that I was inducedto recommend them to many others,

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. This point, Bays Dr. Hays. Massachu
setts State Chemist, has been attained in thePennian
Syrup ; by combination in a way kfare unknown.
