Fault Finders
- This class of persons have cursed the
progress of every enterprise, since the
world began to brighten under the prom=
iseef final redemption.
'There is a class of people, over ready
to catch at every failure or indication of
failure, to condemn the plan of oppera
Lion.
These fault-finders are a very ancient
tribe of people. They had their repre
sentatives among the Patriarchs of old.
They kept the line of their lineage down
to the days of Christ. Pilate was not a
faujt-fiuder, although he was surrounded
by a , wirole retinue of his race. One
thing Ens alway l 's eltirractctriraditthis Peo
ple„ They have never beenilocrs. They
have never accomplished much for the
good of the race. They can never End a
proper place in which to work; They
are the critic of the laborers of the earn
est workers in life's great work shops.
What skillful and accomplished Gen
erals there are, who have stayed home
from the war. These arc 'found at the
corner of every street. In the exercise of
an unquestioned right, they criticise the
movements of the army. If every move
is not a victory, they charge the failure,
of course, to the imperfect plan. •
There is nothing so strange as the short
sightedness of the Executive and the Gen
erals. Alas ! that so much wisdom should
be pent up at home. Alas ! that the army
could not have the profit of this skill and
experience. But, then, fault-finders are
a positive curse to all progress. They are
not the friends who kindly advise, but
self appointed , critics, who talk only of
failures and faults. Go to work my friends,
and give, a practical demonstration of your
superior skill. We expect that this kind
of buzzards will follow in the wake of the
Union army to catch at what may appear
to be faults.
THE WAR.
' Everything appears to be •going on
well_with our array. • General Leo has
'retreated beyond the South Anna river,
surely . van ing. About ono thousand
prisoners were captured on Tuesday.
General Butler, in - a despatch from
Headquarters in the Field, reports that
"Major-General Fitz Hugh Lee (lately
promoted) made, with cavalry, infantry
and artillery, an attack upon my post at
Wilson's Wharf, on the north side of
James river, below Fort Powhatan, gar
risoned by two regiments---all negro
troops—Brigadier General Wild com
manding, and was handsomly repulsed.
"Before the attack, Lee sent a flag
stating that he had force enough to take
the place, demanded its surrender, and
in that case said the garrison should bo
turned over to the authorities at Rich
mond as prisoners of war, but if this
proposition was rejected, he would not be
answerable for consequences when he
took the place. General Wild replied,
"We will try that !" Reinforcements
were at once sent, but the fight was over
before their arrival.
The steamer Arago, from Hilton Head
on the 22d, has arrived.
The Monitor Montauk, which had
been. engaged in the recent attack on
Fort Sumpter, had arrived at Port Royal
for repairs. The action lasted through
two days. Two of the casemates of Sum
t were opened and a large portion Of
the new parapets tumbled into the water.
The south portion of the face of Fort
Moultrie was also knocked down.
The attack was still going on at a later
date, and it was expected that tho effec
tiveness of Fort Sumter had been entire
ly destroyed. -
An expedition to James Island had
captured several Rebel pickets.
Capture of Two Thousand Rebel Letters.

those various and Unpretentious efforts,

would have proven a failure, but which
from their unassuming character are too

MR. EDITOR :-I was pleased to see
that one part of your paper was called the
Educational Department, and a little
p a
amused at the Edit° s name—lmean the
ni
the camng of th name. If it was
Porcupine I would have concluded that
it was a little animal and had something
sharp about it. But Houkosmos I I can
not analyze it. Neither can I find it in
Webster's large Dictionary. What a name!
He must be an Indian or somebody else.
Explain it, will you ?
Like all other Editors of Education,
his fort is Geometry, or some other branch
of Mathematics. Why do those Literary
Editors not take hold-of Language ? They
might enlighten the public mind very
much in this department of science. The
field is large and much is yet to be learned.
There is no book to my knowledge used
in the Common Schools which is calcula
ted to give a thorough knowledge of the
English Language. All the works now
iu use so far as my knowledge extends arc
fraught with errors, contradictions and
absurdities ;and better calculated to dis
courage the pupil and retard his progress
than to facilitate his study in this impor
tan tbranch of Science. The sooner many
of them would be east out of our schools
the better. Nine tenths of all those who
have been dragged through a study of
Grammer by the systems in general use
aro as incompetent to parse or analyze a
sentence in the English Language as many
who never looked into a ('crammer Book.
The importance of this branch of edu
cation calls loudly upon the literati of our
country to investigate this subject and to
use their endeavors to encourage the study
of it, and to improve in every possible
way the mode of presenting it to the mind
of the pupil. No pupil will over attain
to eminence in the study of any branch
of science unless it can be made pleasing
and interestingtohim. This may be done
by adopting a system founded on the true
principles of the English Lang,uago. We
would be pleased to see our Literary Friend
take hold of this subject in earnest.

- mic's* retaiined
from a week's visit to the wounded in the
late battlein Virginia, in company with
Bishop Mcllvaine, of Ohio, it gives me
great pleasure to assure the friends of
these noble heroes throughout the coun
try that our Government is doing every
thing in its power to , relieve suffering—
more than any Government did before—
and that we found the work of the Chris
tian Commission thoroughly' organized,
with an efficient corps of over two bun
died and fifty (250) volunteer delegates
laboring incessantly for the temporal and
spiritual comfort of our soldiers.
As the result of one day's labor at the
headquarters of the Commission in Fred
rieksburg, we brought up with us nearly
three thousand letters, written for dis
abled soldiers by the delegates of the Com
mission.
The great difficulty is in the transpor
tation of supplies. 'Encouraged by the
generous contributions of the people to
our treasury, we have made arrangements
to remedy this by purchasing and send
ing forward two (2) additional wagons,
with (8) horses. We also chartered two
schooners and a tug boat. To make the
work of the Commission more efficient on
the field, we arranged for a set of dele
gates to work by day and another by
night; so that there will be Christian
men always present to minister to the sick
and wounded, and to stand by the bed
side of the dying. The delegates of the
Commission have accomplished a won
derful work, saving hundreds of lives
and relieving untold suffering. They are
still at their posts. It remains for the
Christian, Philanthropic people of the land
to keep them supplied with the means
of carrying on and increasing their labor
of love. GEo. IL STUART.

Subscribers -will receive either Register
eder, Doupon Bonds, as they may, prefer.
Registered Bondi3aie recorded on the books
of the U. Treasurer, and can be tranfer
red only on the owner's order. .Coupon
Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more
convenient for commercial uses.
Subscribers to this loan wilt have the op
tion of hating their Bonds draw interest
from March Ist, by paying the accrued in
terest in coin—(or in United States notes,
orthe notes of National Banks, adding fifty
per cent. for premium,) or receive them
drawing Interest from the date of subscrip
tion and deposit. As these Bonds are
Exempt from Municipal or State Taxation,
their value is increased from one to three
per cent. per annum, according to the rate
of tax levies in variouspartsof the country.
At the present rate of piemium on gold
they pay
Over Eight Per Cent Interst
in currency, and are of equal convenience
as a permanent or temporary investment.
It is believed that no securities offer so
great inducements to lenders as the various
descriptions of U. S- Bonds. In all other
forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability
of private parties or stock companies or
separate communities only is pledged for
payment, while for the debts of the United
States the whole property of the country
is holden to secure the payment of both
principal and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in
sums from $.50 up to any nuutvitude, on the
same terms, and are thus made equally
available to the smallest lender and the
largest capitalist. They can be converted
into money at any moment, and the holder
will have the benefit of the interest.
It may be useful to state in this connec
tion that the total Funded Debt of the Uni
ted States on which interest is payable in
gold, on the 3d day of March, 1864, was
$768,065,000. The interest on this debt for
the coining fiscal year will be ,15,937,126,
while the customs revenue in gold for the
current fiscal year, ending June 30th, 1864,
has been so fur at the rate of over $lOO,OOO,
000 per annum.
It will be seen that even thepresent gold
revenues of the Government are largely in
excess of the wants of the Treasurer forthe
payment of gold interest, while the recent
increase of the tariff will doubtless raise
the annual receipts from customs on the
same amount of importations, to $150,000,000
per annum.

' COlXDBilite4 on "LA-13012,,1NC0ME AND
- REVENUES," invite co-operat ion with them
in the' particular work for 'which they have
been. appointed, AS no portion of the peo
ple are morepatriotiethantheworkingnien
and women of the country, it, is but Just
and proper that they should:alike hales an
Oppor ttinifYld contribUtettr thif eb3ifellired
the Fair. The most equabl e,,plan for ire- ,
ebritplishing this; and; at the same time the
easiest one, is to ask for the contribution of
a SINGLE DAY'S LABOR from all classes in
the community. Many will -contribute a
day Of their labor willingly who Weuldnot
subscribe their money. To reach every
department of-Iminstryand..-arbwilla
work of great labor, but, if attaiued, will
be productive of immense results,
;rile success of the plan will depend upon
the hearty co-operation of every element
of influence within our limits, endive invite
all the guardians of the hidustrialinterests,
and all others, to take hold with us in fur
thering this great work of patriotism and
humanity.
The Committee is charged with the follow
ing duty, to wit :
FIRST.—To obtain the contribution of
"one clay's labor," or earnings, from every
artisan and laborer, foreman, operative and
employee ; president, =shier, teller and
clerk of every incorporated and unincor
porated company, railroad and express
company. employingfirra, bank, manufae
tory, iron works, oil works, mill, mine and
public office; from every private banker
and broker, importer. auctioneer and mer
chant; clerk, agent and salesman: designer,
finisher and artist ; publisher, printer and
mechanic; from every government officer,
contractor and employee; grocer, butcher,
baker and dealer ; farmer, horticulturist
and producer ; from every mautua maker,
milliner and female operative; every indi
vidual engaged in turning tho soil, tending
the loom, or in any way earning a liveli
hood, or building a fortune within the States
of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
SECOND.—To obtain the contribution of
one clay's "Revenue." from all the great
employing establishments, firms, corpora
tions, companies, railroads and works.
THIBD.—To obtain the contributions of
one day's income from every retired person,
and person of fortune—male and female—
living upon their means, and from all cler
gymen, lawyers, physicians, dentists, edi
tors, authors and professors • all ether per
sons engaged in the learned or other pro
fessions.
Much of this work must be performed by
the personal influence and efforts of ladies
and gentlemen associated, or to be associated
with the Committee in
.earrying out this
plan.
The Committee feel the responsibility of
the work they have undertaken, which to
be successful, will require a very perfect
ramification of their plan, and they there
fore call upon all earnest people, to‘assent
blelthemselves together in every town town
ship, and counties,und form organizations
of ladies and gentlemen to co-operate with
them in this great work and labor of love.
In the manufacturing counties, the coal
and oil regions, and in the agricultural dis
tricts,—especially, let there be organizations
in the large towns, so that the young peo
ple may have an opportunity thus to ren
der assistanee to their relatives and friends
fighting the battles of their country in the
armies of the nation.
The work of this Committee may be pros
ecuted where no other effort can . be made
for the Fair, as in the mines of the coal
regions. A day's earnings of the miners,
and a day's product of the aJJ tt es, can be
obtained, where no portable article could
be procured for transportation. Indeed
there is no part or section of these States
where the clay's labor muy not be obtained,
iforganizations can be formed to reueh them.
The Co 111111 l ttce cannot close. without urg
ing upon all Proprietors of Estaidislanents,
the duty of taking prompt and energetic
action to secure the benefit of the day of la
bor from all within their control.
The Committee deem it unacessui7 to do
itiore,than thus to.present the subjects 4o
the people of the three States named. In
the coming campaigns of oar armies; the
labors of trio "Sanitary Commission" will
be greatly augmented. By the first of June
700,000 men—one of the largest armies of
modern times—wlll be operating in the field
So largo 11 three, scattered over regions to
which the men aro unacelimated, must ne
cessarily carry along with Re large amount
of sickness, suffering and death, to Suy
nothing of the gathered horrors of the bat
tle -Soled.
These sufferings, it is our bonder* duties,
as men and Christians, to relieve. A great
and enlightened people, enjoying the bles
sings of a government of their own mak
ing. cannot refuse assistance to melt suftbr
ing to maintain its authority, and 'we will
not believe that tho "GREAT CENTRAL
FAIR," drawingl tsproducts from the Uwe , .
States of Penmylvarda, - New Jersey tine
Delaware, so afflut.nt in all mineral, agri
cultural and industrial 'wealth, shall fiat
behind any similar effort which has ye
been made for the relief of the Nation 't.
childreu.
As it is desirable not to multiply circu
lars; no further authority than /his circular
will be necessary for any employing firm or
company, or any respectable committee of
ladies and gentlemen, to proceed at once, in
the work of this committee: and it_is hoped
that under it, organizations will spring up
in all the towns and busy regions of the
States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware.
Subscriptions will be than kfnll y acknowl
edged in the newspapers of Philadelphia ;
and it is very desirable that they commence
soon, as each fresh ae/niowlebgment will
stimulate effort in other localities.
All subscriptions should be addressed to
