LETTER FROM DR. DUFFIELD.
REVIVAL IN DETROIT
*DEAR BROTEIER, MEARS :-Will you give
me a little space in your volumns, to tell my
dear brethren of the ministry and member
ship of the body of Christ, some of the great
things our blessed Redeemer has done, and
is doing, in our city? For years a few pray
ing persons, of different denominations, have
held a daily morning prayer-meeting, and
have persevered in their supplications to G od,
—since the effusion of His Spirit in that great
year of His gracious visitation, 1858. I be
lieved then, and said, that the Lord Christ
was taking out from among the nation a peo
ple for the glory of his name ; and I rejoiced
in that glorious work you had in your goodly
city, where first, in the days of my boyhood,
I found Christ precious to my soul. I was
fully convinced that it was a sealing time, and
that the Lord was preparing many for a day
of coming trouble. The anticipation has
been proved to have been just and true.
The ministry and Christian people in this
city were, at that time, drawn into closer
union than they were ever before. The
former, especially those of the Methodist,
Baptist, and of the various branches of Pres
byterians, and of the Congregationalists, have,
with occasional brief interruptions, main
tained a weekly meeting for fraternal inter
course, prayer, and religious conference. For
some months past, there has been a growing
interest on the subject of religion in this city.
A weekly union prayer-meetink has circulated
among our churches. The Lord's presence
has been telt among them.
On Sabbath, the 26th ult., Brother E. P.
Hammond who had been invited here by gen
tlemen especially interested for the salvation
oft he numerous youths in our Sabbath-schools,
commenced labors among them in a general
meeting of the children in the Congregational
church, held on the afternoon of that day.
After that, daily meetings were held in the
afternoou, about the time of closing the pub
lic schools, and at night a prayer-meeting of
ministers and members of the different
churches. They were continued in rotation
during that week, in the Baptist, Methodist,
and Presbyterian churches. From the very
first the presence and power of the Spirit
were felt. Religious services have also been
held in the public prison, or house of correc
tion, and among the seven hundred sick and
wounded soldiers in the Harper Hospital,
with like tokens.
On Sabbath evening last, the Young Men's
Hall, which, through the week, had been oc
cupied for theatrical purposes, was densely
crowded, some 2,500 persons entering, young
and old crowding upon the platform, and
within the Bones, which had to be thrown
open by raising the curtain. The services
were especially for the benefit of the young
men. It was a solemn and interesting meet
ing. Hundreds were brought under the
power of the truth, and gave manifestations
of the fact, some in the joy of their hearts,
which had embraced the Lord, and others by
asking for prayers of Christians, and inquir
ing - what they should do to be saved.
On Monday, Tuesday, and this day, (Wed
nesday) meetings were held, by general con
sent and announcement of the committee, in
the First Presbyterian Church, situated near
the centre of the city-,—the afternoon being
appropriated for the children, and the night
for the young men of our city. That large
and commodious edifice was filled as densely
as it could be packed. All the dear brethren
of the ministry, of the denominations above
mentioned, and Christians from all the
churches, have entered into and cooperated
in this blessed work. We have occasion for
great gratitude and joy, in witnessing the
numbers that have believed, as we doubt not,
to the saving of the soul.
The work is still advancing in interest and
power. What makes it more noticeable is,
that the work openly manifested itself during ,
the week appropriated for the celebration of
a Ladies State Fair for the benefit of the
Freedmen, which brought crowds into one
of our large public halls, comprising numer
ous strangers from many of our interior towns
and villages. The doors of the Bazaar were
closed on Saturday last, March 4th, for traf
fic, and the hour from twelve to one was set
apart for prayer, Christian people of every
class, color,
and sect, assemblingtogether to
invoke God's blessing on .the President of
the United States. A business men's meet
ing was held at the same hour, in another
apartment of the same building, for like
purpose. The interests of our country and
of religion, humanity, and business were
blended for a season, as they were commend
ed to God for his blessing. Numerous sol
diers have attended the meetings, and are
among those who have begun to seekithe Lord.
I am reminded of the glorious revival
scenes of 1831, whcih I witnessed then, es
specially in Cumberland and Frlnklin coun
ties in Pennsylvania, which then prevailed
all over our country. We have had a bap
tism of blood, during these late years of hor
rible warfare, precipitated upon us by the
madness of rebellion. But God has been in
our armies, and in our navy, with our sol
diers and sailors ; and now, in the closing up
of' our successes, He is marching forth victo
riously in the churches, doing His great and
mighty works, for the salvation of men.
I thank and praise Him, and take courage
for the future, now that He is leading by His
Spirit the rising generation.
I have time to add no more, except to say
that, should the Lord employ His dear ser
vant, brother Hammond, in your city; I hope
the way will be prepared and that my dear
brethren Barnes and Brainerd, and all the
ministry of your city will bid him God speed,
and co-operate in the work of the Lord. "It
is not by might, nor by power, but by my
spirit, saith the Lord:"God employs and
owns the simple preaching of the great radi
cal truths and facts of the gospel, and makes
them the sword of his Spirit. I bless Him
for the manifestations He is making through
this dear beloved brother, of the melting and
subduing power of the simple story of the
cross. "Christ and Him crucified," and faith
in the dear Redeemer; with penitence and
love, are the themes presented and preached
from day to day, in a plain and affectionate
manner. I trust that much prayer will be
made in your city, and throughout all our
land, for a mighty and marvellous work of
His Spirit, to save our country and the souls
of men. Yours, &c.,
REvrvALE.—Our Methodist exchanges have
numerous accounts of revivals. The advo
cates, (Advocate is a sort of family name for
the Methodist papers,) in Pittsburg, Cinci
natti and St. Louis, together foot up in one
week about 2,000, accessions to the western
churches. As however the same revival is
often noticed in each of the papers, many of
abe figures which make this sum total are
twice or thrice counted. Still the work has
been extensive—in partremains so. In San
Francisco there is religious prosperity.
Seventy have joined the Howard Street
church on probation. There are, daily meet
ings, with promise of blessed fruit, at Powell
Street. The Central church is growing.
DETROIT, bfarch'B, 1865
The Senate convened, according to custom,
immediately after the inauguration, by
special call of the President, has continued
in session to the present'time. As it has no
power, without the presence of the other
house, to mature any legislation, it has but a
small range of business outside of that for
which it is more especially called together—
the acting upon Executive nominations.
Large numbers of the latter have been con
firmed, the mostimportant of which are Hon.
Hugh Moennoel of Indiana, as Secretary of
the Treasury, in place of Mr. Fessenden, who
returns to the Senate, and Hon. James Har
lan, of lowa, as Secretary of the Interior, in
place of Judge Usher. These are the only
changes thus far made in the Cabinet.
Of other matters of Senatorial action, the
most important is the settling of the princi
ple, so far as the action of this body goes,
that the States which passed the act of Seces
sion, have lost their right to representation
in Congress, until Congress itself, by special
legislation, shall open the door for them.
The action was taken on the 9th inst., on the
report of the Judiciary Committee on the
credentials of Mr. Snow, Senator elect from
Arkansas. The committee say that in 1861
the coptituted authorities of the State of
Arkansas, so, far as they could succeed, took
the State beyond the authority of the United
States, and that in pursuance- of a law of
Congress, the President, by proclamation,
declared the inhabitants , of that State to be
included in the insurrection. Therefore the
committee recommend that the_ questions of
admission be postponed until the next ses
sion, and until Congress shall take action in
regard to the existing State government of
Arkansas. The report was adopted. Cre
dentials from Virginia and Louisiana after
ward took the same direction.
The Senate on the 9th inst., elected Rev.
Dr. Gray, a Baptist clergyman of Washing
ton,Chaplain.
n the election of Standing Committees,
Senator Saulsbury, of Delaware, and Senator
McDougal, of California, were entirely
dropped. It is understood that the personal
habits-of both these Senators have become
such as to unfit them for any service of the
kind.
The Senate adjourned sine die on the 11th
inst.
THE CAPTURE OF GEORGETOWN, S. C., ,by
order of. Admiral Dahlgren, is the principal
event for record last week. Georgetown is
on the Waccamaw river, a few miles above its
mouth, and some distance up the coast from
Charleston. The capture took place Feb'y
23rd, and was bloodless, the rebel forces
abandoning Battery White, its main defence,
and the municipal authorities tendering their
submission to the Union. The admiral has
issued an order for the maintenance of the
authority of the United States in George
own. He first says: "'Conformably to the
laws of the United States, slavery no longer
exists within the limits of the Union. Per
sons residing here, who thus become freemen,
will in future enjoy the fruits of their.own
labor."
A DEMONSTRATION AGAINST MOBILE is
evidently determined upon. General Canby,
with his staff, left New Orleans for thatvicin
ity, on the Ist irstant. Acting Rear Ad
miral Thatcher had arrived the previous day,
and assumed command of the squadron,
leaving Commodore Palmer in the naval
command at New Orleans. A rebel des
patch, dated February 25th says that twenty
two steamers and six Mississippi river
steamers were in the lower bay below Mobile,
and a large number of troops were on Dauphin
Island and at Pensacola, indicating an early
attack on the city.
SHERIDAN'S VICTORY, announced in our
last, was achieved near Waynesboro', instead
of at Charlottesville, as then reported.
Waynesboro' is on the Virginia Central
Railroad, at the west base of the Blue Ridge,
about fifteen miles from Staunton,
and twenty
five from Charlottesville. The statements of
deserters respecting its magnitude were, in
the main, correct, except that the person of
Early was not included in the captures,
These last were 1,300 men, more than forty
of whom are rebel officers, all of whom have
arrived North. Eight cannon and over one
hundred wagons were also taken. It is sup
posed that Sheridan's next move will be for
the destruction of the canal between Rich
mond and Lynchburgh.
INTERNAL DISSENSION is adding its agency
to external calamities for the destruct , on of
the rebel combination to which its getters-up
gave the name of Government. The debates
of its Congress, and the tirades of the press,
are violent. The mutual hate has become
deadly. We have room for only a single
specimen—a short extract from a long edito
rial, all in the same spirit, from the Rich
mond Enquirer, in reply to a correspondent.
"Our correspondent Brigade," says the
Enquirer, " asks us some most pertinent and
important questions, some of which we can
not answer for want of information.
"That there is a party of ' whipped seceders'
in an about Richmond cannot be denied.
They'are cowed and cowardly, miserable
wretches, who brought the wat upon the
country, and who would now surrender to the
enemy. We have no doubt but that there
was a plan on foot' to force Mr. Davis to re
sign, and that Mr. Stephens had consented
to resign, so that Mr. Hunter, as President
of the Senate, would become President. The
plan, we hope and believe, has miscarried ;
at any rate, • the conspirators' may under
stand that if they should succeed they will
have placed

THE WAR,
REBEL NENVS;
—' a barren sceptre in their gripe,
Thence to be wrenched with an unlined hand,
No son of their's succeeding.'
"Robert E. Lee, by and with the advice and
consent of the army and the people, will
grasp the sceptre they . may wrench from the
hands of Mr. Davis, and wield it for the
safety and security of his country's liberty
and independence. No cabal of whipped
seceders' shall capitulate this country into
slavery and crouch it at the footstool of Mr.
Lincoln.
"The Congress has utterly failed ; it is in
competent and doing much injury: it has
neither capacity nor courage : it is wanting
in firmness and resolution ; it is unfit for revo
lution. The very men who were the foremost
to secede are the first to surrender. A single
head and a single arm are now needed, and
if the Congress would consult its patriotism,
it would entrust all power with the President
and General Lee, adjourn and go home, and
leave the country and the cause in the hands
of those two men. The President has exhi
bited a calm, firm, resolute purpose, unsub
dued by disaster, and unalterable in the de
termination to secure the liberty and inde
pendence of his country. General Lee! his
very port and mien would laugh to scorn the
cowardly suggestions of surrender. Upon
these two men the country relies—her armies
.have resolved her liberty to secure, and the
people will support and sustain them. The
Virginia banks can furnish one or two mil
lions in gold, and this will secure the supplies
now needed. Let the Legislature promptly
aet, and turn over•the gold to General Lee.
The Congress is defunct, the country-no longer
looks to it for any aid in the struggle. The

nearly too late ; the currency is beyond their
power to help; the time they have wasted
is thrown away, and cannot be regained—the
sooner they adjourn and go home, the better."
ARMING THE SLAVES.—The rebel Senate
has re-opened this, now the "vexej question"
of the Confederacy. In fact the South seems
to have assumed the monopoly of "nigger
on the brain." The State legislatures are
pitching in, that of Virginia havinginstructed
her Senators and Representative s to vote for
liberating and arming, and that ',of North
Carolina having gone vehemently against it.
The excitement is high—one party seeing
nothing but death to the Confederacy if it is
not done, and the other beholding :certainruin if the measure should be adopted. We
presume both sides are right.
LATFll.—The* rebel senate has finally, by a
majority of one vote,
passed the:bill for arm
ing the slaves. It had previously passed the
lower house.
A SUCCESSFUL UNION RAID up the Rappa
hannock, came off on the sth, 6th, and 7th of
the present month. The fleet consisted of
thirteen transports and two gunboats ; with
1,500 men from Fortress Monroe, and was in
command of Gen. Roberts. It returned to
Fortress Monroe on the evening of the 7th,
having fully accomplished the object of its
mission. All the steamers of the fieetlwent
clear up the Rappahannock river, and landed
at the very wharves of Fredericksburgh, 'with-
out any resistance being made, and without a
rebel force of any, kind being seen. Elleven
hundred boxes of tobacco and a larger mlroad
bridge, with a great amount of stores} des
tined. for Richmond, were .destroyed.: The
tobacco was stored in Fredericksburg, prepar
atory, it is said, to its being shippr to
Nassau by means of an English bloc ade
runner. The expedition' brought with it six
hundred of the boxes of tobacco, and bnrnt
e remaining five hundred boxes, and !cap
tured about one hundred prisoners.
A REBEL VICTORY REPORTED.-{General
Lee, under date of March 9th, repotted to the
rebel war department as , follows:—" General
Bragg reports that' he attacked the enemy
yesterday, four miles in front of Kinston, and
drove him from his position. lie disputed
the ground obstinately, and took up a, new
line three miles from his first. We captured
three pieces of artillery and 1,500 prisoners.
The number of the enemy's dead and wounded
left on the field is large ; ours is coaapara

The young ladies of the Weccacoe Gram
mar School, under the superintendence of
Miss Mary Moyn, have appropriated one hun
dreddollars of a fund which they had raised
among themselves for the purpose of improv
ing the comforts of the school-room, for the
relief of the sufferers by the late fire.
SUSPENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPUS BY
THE PRESIDENT. —The Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia has decided that the
President has the right to suspend the habeas
corpus in any specific case during the rebel
lion. Judge Olin says :--" To hold that after
thirteen States of the Federal Union had ab
jured their allegiance to the government and
organized an armed rebellion for its dismem
berment and overthrow, that the only power
conferred by the Constitution and laws upon
the President was to act as an assistant of thet
United States Marshal heading a posse eami.,
tatus in an attempt to servd a legal process,‘
would seem to require neither comment or'
answer." The case is to be carried to the
United States Court.
IMMENSE SALE OF DOmTATIC AND FOREIGN
DRY GOODS IN PHILADELPHIA. --I)EcLINE IN
PRICES.—On Thursday of last week, the
argest sale of foreign and demestic dry goods
ever held in this conntry, amounting to
$1,500,000, took place at the auction store of
John B. Myers & Co., in this city. The sale
comprised over three thousand original pack
ages, consisting of - muslins, drillings, cam
brics' linen checks, prints, gingbanis, tweeds,
cloths, cassimeres, flannels, merinos, linens,
balmorals, and steel spring skirts, elpth,
stockings, &a. The prices realized were lower
than those obtained at any previous sale for
many months heretofore, but came up to
what was expected. - The attendance was
large, and bidders from New York, Boston,
and many Southern and Western cities and
towns were present. The immense establish
ment of Messrs. Myres was occupied from the
first to the fourth floor with the goods on dis
play. The bidding was spirited and dupli
cates sold freely.
TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—On the
morning of the oth inst., about two o'clock; a
most fearful railroad disaster occurred in the
town of Bristol, a few miles up the river from
our city, in which several lives were lost, and
some fifty persons more or less injured.
Nearly all of them were soldiers, recently re
leased from the Libby prison, and after
months and in some cases years of suffering
of the well-known horrors of that captivity,
furloughed and on their way to visit their
homes. The particulars of the occurance are
these :—Adams' Through Express Train,
from Washington, which passes through this
city about midnight, got off the track at Sha
mmy Station, a short distance this side of
Bristol, and remained off the track until the
" Owl Line," which left the Kensington De : -
pot at 12i o'clock, A. M., arrived. The
officers and men of the two trains managed to
get the Express train all right, and the Owl
train pushed the Express train towards Bris
tol. The Express passenger train from
Washington was, at this time, within 30 min
utes of these two trains, and therefore the
conductor of the Owl Line instructed the
station man at SharnOny to put out .a red
signal, and stop the Express line, and inform
the conductor of what was going on ahead, so
that he might go into Bristol at a very low
rate of speed. It is alleged by the conductor
of the express train, that no red light was
out, but that on the contrary a yellow one
was displayed when he reached Shamony,
and therefore the speed of the train was kept
up until reaching the curve at Bristol bridge.
Here the velocity was about seven miles an
hour, and the red light on the rear car of the
owl train was not discovered, owing to the
curve, until the distance was too short to pre
vent a collision. When the locomotive of the
express train struck, the last car of the owl
line was pushed through the car next, and
then the locomotive itself crushed its way
through both of the broken cars, and was
only stopped after demolishing the platform
of the third car from the end. All the pas
sengers in the two demolished cars were sol
diers, and they were swept, in a second of
time, with the seats to the upper end of the
second car, and so tightly were they wedged
together, that axes had to be used to relieve
the dead and wounded from the wreck. To
add to the horror and excitement of the
scene, the broken cars took fire from the stove,
but by the timely assistance of the citizens
with buckets of water, the flames were extin
guished before any one was seriously burped.
Thus far we hear of eight who were either
killed outright, or have since died of their in
juries. In the present case we presume it is
not audacious to say that somebody is to
blame, but it is not likely we shall ever know
who. Rail road companies have pretty much
ceased to be accountable for anything they
may do, or railroad murders to be recognized
in law.
LATEST.---TVESDAY.
RlirralDAN' S LAST RlDE.—General Sheri
dan sends a despatch, dated Columbia (on the
James river, only 52 miles west of Richmond, )
in which he announces the capture of Char
lottesville, the destruction of railroad bridges
and. railroads in the direction of Richmond,
Gordonsville, and Lynchburgh, from C. ; the
destruction of locks, dams, and the canal
bank, on the James. river, up to within 1.5
miles of Lynchburg ; the capture of 14 cannon,
and twelve canal boats, loaded with supplies,
and the destriction of factories, mills, and
raerchandise of service to the rebels. Im
mense railroad bridges, some of them 500
feet in length, were destroyed on the Lynch
burg road. •
The work was done amid mud and storms
of the most trying character. The inhabi
tants were thoroughly taken by surprise at the
appearance of the great raider in this remote
and hitherto unvisited section of the rebellion.
SCHOFIELD.
The reel Bragg had a story of the defeat
of Gen. hofield near Kinston, N. C. Gen,
Schofield sends a despatch, dated March 10th,
in which he says :—" The enemy made a
heavy'attack upon our centre and left to-day,
but was decisively repulsed and with heavy
loss. His dead and badly wounded were left
upon the field. We also took several hun
dred prisoners. Our loss is small."
The rebels also claim to have whipped
Kilpatrick in South Carolina. We don't be

CLEANSE THE BLOOD.
With corrupt. disordered,
vitiated blood, you are
31i all over. It may burst
it in pimples or sores, or.
some active disease. or it
ly keep you listless, de
-essed, and g..ed for no
ing. Butyou cannot have
lad health while your
rod is impure. AYER'S
, lISAPARILLA purges
it those impurities, and
imulates the organs of life
to vigorous action, re
iring the health and ex
tiling disease. Renee it
godly cures a variety of
'mplaints which are
msed by impurity of the
)ed, such as Scrofula, or
- Aing's Evils Tumors, Ulcers,
Sores, Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Boils. St. Antho
ny's Fire. Bose or .Erympelas, Teller or Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Riug Worm. Cancer or Caneerous Tumors,
Sore Eyes, Liver Complaint, and Heart Diseases. Try
AYER'S SARSAPARILLA, and see for yourself the
surprising activity with which it cleanses the blood
and cures these diseases.
During late years the public have been misled by
large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of
Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been
frauds upon the sick, for theyiot only contain little,
if any, sarsaparilla, but often• no curative properties
whatever. Hence bitter disappointmenthas followed
the use of the various extracts of sarsaparilla which
flood the market, until the name itself has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call
this compound "Sarsaparilla," and intend to supply
such :a remedy as shall rescue the name from tho load
of obloquy which rests uptin it. We think we have
ground for believing it has yirtueswhich are irresist
ible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended
to cure. We can only assure the sick, that we offer
them the best alterative which we know how to pro
duce, and we have reason to believe it is by, far the
most effectual purifier of the blood yet discovered by
anybody.
AYER'S CHERRY PECTORAL is so universally
known to surpass every other remedy for the cure of
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Croup, Hronehills,
Incipient Consumption, and for the relief' of consump
tive patients in advaneed'stages of the disease, that it
is useless here to recount the evidence of its virtues.
The world knows them.

with impunity. The wife of the Rev. W- Eaves, local
minister of the M. E. Church. Jersey City, who has
not been able to use any coffee for fifteen years. can use
Kent's East India Coffee
Three times a day without injury, it being entirely
free from those properties that produce nervous ex
citement,
Dr. JAMES BOY'', of 156 Chambers street, says
"I have never known any coffee so healthful, nutri
tious and free from all injurious qualities as
Rent's F.ast India Coffee-
I advise my patients to to drink it universally, even
those to whom I have hitherto prohibited the use of
coffee."
The PRINCIPAL OF THE NEW YORK EYE
INFIRMARY says: "I direct all the patients of our
Institution to use exclusively
Kent's-Ea :A. India ,6otree.
And would not be without it on any account?'
The Rev. C. LARUE, an eminent clergyman of the
M. E. Church, now stationed at Halsey street, Newark,
says of
Rent's East India Coffee:
"I have used it nearly a year in my family. and find
it produces no ache of the head or nervous irritation,
as in the ease of all other coffees. It is exceedingly
Pleasant. and I cordially recommend it to all olergY
men and their families."
Rent's East India Coffee
Is used daily in the families of Bishop Ames, Bishop
Baer and many of the most distinguished clergymen
and professional men in the country.
