FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1864.
CORTRIBUTIONS .FOR TRH WAR.
So far as could be ascertained by a care
ful author, who collected his statistics with
great patience and industry, the total
amount of money contributed for the benefit
of the soldiers and the prosecution of the
war, exclusive of the payments of the Na
tional Government, up to 'a late date was
$ 2 12,274,259 45. This enormous sum was
made up of bounties, aid to families, gifts
from the States for national defence,and the
like. The Salutary contributions alone
have reached $10,408,589 50. When we
add to the ascertained contributions the
numberless gifts which hLve been made by
private individuals who shrink from pub
licity, the unacknowledged supplies sent to
hospitals and camps, and the aid afforded
to individual soldiers and sailors under
other cirailmstances, the sum total will ap
pear grander than that ever contributed in
a public, cause by any people. The author
of the work is Mr. Marcellus Hartley, a
merchant.of New' York, and, as an addi
tional contribution to the same great object,
we may meion that the proceeds of all
outside sales of the volume have heretofore
been given to the Sanitary Commission, and
that since -the New York fair began the
author , the prin4 - ..Ts and the binders have
preseiked the fair with 6,500 copies of the
work, to be sold at the festival. It is a re
cord suc€ . as every patriot will be proud to
refer to in after times, and cannot but take
its place in multitudinous libraries.
REFINED CRUELTY.
We are not surprised to find one or more
of the New York journals protesting against
the contemptible mode adopted at the Sani
t-ary-Fair, in that city for the punishment of
pickpockets, male and female, who may be
detected while prosecuting their nefarious
trade among the vast crowds which fill the
various-buildings. The idea of shaming
criminals by parading them along the aisles
of exhibition rooms with a placard upon
whieh is inscribed in large letters "Pick
pocket," faStened to their breasts, is
as original as it is infamous, and
deserves and receives the censure of every
Christian person who may be involuntarily
an eye-witness of the degrading display.
Among the attractions offered to the visitors
on the first day of the Fair„wa,s a parade of.
the Character referred to, the unwilling par
ticipants being males; and so well did the
procession please the officers that two days
later they varied the performance by, sub
jecting too women to the same routine•
Abandoned and degraded as a female must
be who adds to her worldly means by pil
fering the contents of her neighbor's pock
'ets, such a public exposure cannot fail to
make her sink even lower in crime. The
police are placed within the Fair buildings
for the purpose of arresting and securing
just such criminals,but they have no right,
even at the bidding of their employers, to
shock the moral sense of the proper-thinking
spectators who go thither to view the curi
osities, and not to witness such revolting
scenes. To use the words of the Advertiser,
"no good end can be subserved by this ex
posure.-- If it is right in the case of these
Fair pickpockets, then it is right to build
our prisons with glass , walls, to surround
Sing-Sing with a grating, behind which its
convicted felons may glare upon the public;
and it is fully time to dissolve the Prison
Association, and to abandon all that civili
zation and Christianity have done for this
'night side' of life." -
AN OFFERING. FROM SWITZERLAND.
The New-York Tribune's account of the
great Sanitary Fair, yesterday, contained
the following :
ic Of all the gifts received for the Fair, per
haps the most touching offering is that given
by an Alpine peasant woman in Zurich, S wit
zerland—a tiny book of pressed Alpine flowers,
together with a simple wooden wine cup that
formerly belonged to her son, now a soldier in
the Union army. On presenting the cup and
the little book of flowers, the good old woman
took a bottle of red Switzer wine from her
pocket, and, filling the cup, handed it to the
Consul, and then drank herself, saying, 'Here's
a health and a greeting to America ; God bless
my boy's new faderland.' cGod bless it,'
replied the Consul, and Switzerland too.'
The old woman thanked him with tears in her
eyes, and went away, leaving her boy's cup and
the Ipine blossoms behind her."
It is almost like gilding refined gold to
add anything to this simple recital, yet one
cannot refrain from thinking how touch
ingly such little acts show the feeling of
theinoble hearted and pure-minded all the
world over, towards America.. Such s gift
does not possess much value in money, yet
the impulse which prompted it is one that
gold cannot buy ; and while our country
has such admirers wherever the love of
liberty exists, we cannot fail in having our
hands upheld and our hearts strengthened.

(Translation.]
Mr. Edward Lee Planit, President of the- eximin
Pacific Company, No ES' Wall street, New York:
PEAR Sin* I have received the letter which,
under date of the IS - th insister, you havettddressed
tome, in which you—inform me that the serious
att.ntiox. of North American capitaiists is now
being turned 'toward the favorable field for inter
price presented by the vast taint - rat wealth of
Mexico, ano that this has led a large number of
persons to - manifest a desire to become interested
in the concessions that the Company of which you
are president holds from the Mexican government;
with rPference'to which yon make of me four in
quiries, that I proceed to answer in the order they
axe made :
1. The concessions held by the company which
yon represent, will, of course, be re.ognizet and
respected by the authorities of the Republic, be
cause the decrees granting said concessions are in
the' nature of laws, which all of the authorit,es of
the Republic must respect and obey.
2. I have uo knowledge of any privileges similar
to those possessed by your company, baying ever
been granted to any other company by the Mexi
can Government.
a. It would be necessary to enter into many de
tails improper for such a letter as this, in order to
give even a slight idea of the mineral richness of the
States that are comprehended in your concessions.
It must suffice, the ef ire, for roe to say that among
all of the rich States of the Mexican Confederation,
the State of Guerrero is considered in Mexico to be
one of the richest, although, perhaps, up to the
present Mae, ithas teen the least developed.-
4. The Mexican Government, which desires
above all things the development of the vast mate
rial resources of the Republic, considers it one• of
its first duties to favor the establishment of enter
prises both by ratives and by foreigners, which
have for their object ta accomplish this important
It being, on the other hand, the policy of the
Mtaican Government to strengthen and draw
closer the commercial relations of the Mexican Re
public with the United Mates, it will see with par
ticular eatisfac lon, the citizens of this country
take part in Mexican enterprises, and contribute,
with their industry and their capital, to develop
the great sources of wealth of that Republic, to the
mutual benefit of both nations.
I am, Sir, very truly, y..pur obedient servant,
