The officers of the United States Sanitary
Commission have prepared an address to the
branches and Aid Societies which have so lib.
erally sustained the Commission during four
years of war. They return thanks to the kind
citizens who have labored so zealously for the
soldier, and particularly to the ladies, who,, in
city, village and neighborhood, have devoled
their time and interest to philanthropic work.—
The Commission specially acknowledges its ob
ligations to every woman who has sewed a seam
or knit a stocking in the service of the Sanitary
Commission. The officers announce that the
necessity of furnishing further supplies for the
use of the army is over; that there is still a
stock of provisions and clothing sufficient for
the use of all soldiers in the field, and they re
quest that while further collections of articles of
use for the soldiers Maw cease, that the aid soci
eties will, after settling up their local indebted
ness, forward balances of money and unused
goods to the parent society at New York. The
soldiers yet in the field will be properly cared
for; but the principal work of the Commission,
until the final close of its affairs, will be the com
pletion of its work for the collection of the pen
sions and back pay of soldiers, for which work
one hundred and twenty-seven offices have been
established in various parts of the country. In
a few months the labor of the Commission will
be closed, but its work will be a household le
gend in many a soldier's family. It was organ
ized for a great task of philanthropy, which it
has greatly performed. All who have been en
gaged in its labors deserve the thanks and grati
tude of their countrymen.
FAR PETCRED, DEAR BOUGITT
There is an inveterate opinion abroad that the
profits of labor and the resulting wealth of a na
tion can be realizaonly through foreign trade ;
that a State growi.rich only upon the profits of
its traffic with some other States, and the greater
the distance between them the better. Tho doc
trine strengthens in proportion to the size of the
community. A nation must bring its wealth
across a sea, and a fortiori, we must infer thst
the only chance the globe has for growing rich
all over, is by a trade with the moon, or some
other outlying province of the solar System.
The folly of this doctrine has only to be stat
ed to be fully realized. Wealth cannot be creat
ed by carrying property around. All tmnspor
fittion of it beyond the nearest attainable mar
ket, is a waste of time, labor, and machinery. It
is the business of true Political Economy to es
tablish markets close by production. The Plow,
Loom and Anvil should be brought together.—
The blast-furnace should be moved close up to
the barn—the cloth-mill should clatter within
hearing of the reapers—the machine shop should
rattle its bread-earning song to the bread-supply
thrashing machine. Ships are useful things to
bring tea and coffee across oceans—they are ow
frilly wasteful institutions to carry wheat to be
exchanged for cloth and iron. Farmers, insist
on having the swap made at your own doors!
You command through Congress.
Mr. Cameron
The resignation of Secretary Cameron soon after
the war began, gave rise at the time to surmises luje•
rlous to the character of that gentleman. A writer
to the Chicago Rimblirrn offers a new explanation
of that affair, received from Mr. Cameron himself,
at an interview soon after It occurred. He says :
Mr. Cameron remarked at the commencement,
" Well, f 3—, I suppose yon think that either I have
retired In disgrace or that. the President has com
mitted a great outrage upon me " replied that,
to tell the truth, this was Just what he thought, and
that he called to see what possible explanation the
Secretary could give him for his course, which
would remove the bad impression it had left upon
his mind. The Secretary replied with a smile,
"Well, I ace you are as badly fooled in this
matter as any of them. But I thought that you,
who imam me so well, would certainly conclude that
I never would have left my_post under the circum
stances that I have, unless I was compelled to do so
by some great consideration of state which involved
the very existence of the country. I will, however,
open your eyes to the true condition of affairs, and
which has made it absolutely Imperative on me to
tender my resignation to the President, and es ab
solutely imperative on him to accept it. You know
that at the time General McClellan was called to
the command of the army, things in a military view
Were in a most. deplorable condition. Nowhere,
except in Western Virginia, had success crowned
our arms; and, in fact, nothing had occurred to res
cue the country from the slough of despond into
which It had been cast by the Bull 'Run disaster. We
were compelled to call McClellan to the head of the
army at a time when he couldsdictate his terms, and
ha actually did so. He stipulated that he should
pass upon all appointments and promotions, and the
President and myself felt compelled, for the sake of
the country and its safety, to adeede them. Weil,
things went on, under his rule, from bad to worse,
and knowing the condition of affairs, and finding no
hope in the future, I saw that the only way to save
the country was to break the agreement with Mc-
Clellan. And this I resolved to do at the sacrifice of
myself. I went to the President a few days ago and
said to him that things could net continue on In this
way : that General McClellan must be relnoved from
the supreme command -of the army if he meant to
put down the rebellion; that it was a question of
triumph of the South, or the removal of McClellan
from the supreme commend. The President agreed
with mein this view of the ease but said : " Came
ron, bow can it be done? We have passed our words
to him that he shall have the control of the appoint
mentsand wecannot break them." I replied: "Leave
that to me, Mr. President ; I will eat the. gordian
knot if Lean, and unravel It. I will resign, and you
can appoint another to my position ." But, Ca:n
th:et," add he, "that would be ruin to you politi
cally, if not personally." I replied that I cared not ;
that somebody must be sacrificed or the country
lost,. and I bad made up my mind to the consequen
ces of my act. Mn Lincoln replied that he would
think the matter over, and see me next day. Next
dap bo saw me, as he had promised; said he had

Prison Life at ELndersonville
The Otsego Nepali'ken publishes a letter from
Lewis di. Bryant, 2d N. Y. Heavy Artillery, lately
a prisoner at Andersonville, Georgia, of which we
copy the material portion. He is well known to E.
C. BlackmtM, of this village, who sends the sketch
for publication. It Is a thrilling narrative of prison
HAI :
On the 21st day of dare about 8,000 of us were
packed in box cars as closely as we could stand, like
so many cattle for market, and started for Ander
sonville. We were seven days on the road—the dis
tance by rail is about one thousand miles—end we
had but two rations of food or water during the pas
sage. On the alai we arrived at Andersonvllle.
The prison is a ffeld of twenty-flue acres, mostly of
wet, marshy ground, surrounded by a fence or stock
ade as it is =lied, built up of square timbers, close
and tight about twenty feet high. We found in it
thirty thousand prisoners—the addition of our com
pany making thirty-eight thousand. As we enteral
this place of cruelty, starvation, and death, I shall
never forget the heart-sickening picture that pre
sented itself as I cast my eyes over the twenty-rive
acres. of filthy, ragged, naked, lousy, sick, and starv
ing mass of still living human skeletons. Thou
sands were without hat or shoe ; many without coat,
vest, or shirt, and others as naked as Adam before
the falL home were shouting, some pray leg, some
cursing, sumo crying for food, some weeping, and
some, (whose sufferings had crazed the brain,) were
fighting their comrades and giving orders tor battle,
under the supposition that they were charging on
the rebel army.
As we entered the broad gate and looked upon the
horrid scene, a companion of mine, heart-sickening
and trembling in every limb, looking up to me with
tearful eyes, and voice choking with emotion, naked,
" For God's sake, Bryant, is this hell Y" And
thought it no wonder that the poor boy asked, for
he had never before seen such a masa of pitiable,
suffering objects on earth. But he was not destined
to suffer long in so loathsome a place, for a few
weeks alter, overcome by starvation and disease, he
yielded his body to the malice of those barbarous
rebels, and his freed, happy spirit soared to the home
of the patriot
We marched into the crowd and the gate closed
after na—to thousands the gate of death. We were
then left to make the acquaintance of one new as
sociates, listen to their tales of horror, and as ap
peared to us all, to prepare to die. We were allow
ed rations once a day, and this consisted of a few
ounces of corn meal to each man, and that ground
with the cob—about ball enough for one meal.—
This was given to us raw and without salt or other
seasoning, with one stick of pine wood, shoat four
teen inches lung, with which to cook IL This meal
we mixed with water, and sometimes succeeded in
cooking, or rather, warming it, and other times ate
it entirely raw. The water was obtained from a
slough or swamp in one end of our pen, where an
old barrel had been sunk to keep out as much as
possible the surrounding filth and mire. The 111th,
manure, and mire all about our " springs " or
" wens," as we called them, being at all times knee
deep, and the water we drunk was always and un
doubtedly filthy and full of worms and maggots.—
it was not an uncommon thing in the morning, as
we went for water, to find some poor fellow dead in
this swamp, who had muds an effort to reach the
water and bad sunk down in exhaustion, unable to
ford the mire.
There was not a tree or bush In the whole field to
shade us from the scorching sun, or shelter us from
the storm. The fence or stockade might have ef.
forded a shade in the middle of the day to afro, but if
a pour fellow, though he were sick and dying, ap
proached to within twenty feet of it, he was without
notice or warning, shot by the inhuman guard, who
were constantly watching such opportunities from
their stations on the stockade. Many provided
themselves with shelter from the sun and cold night
winds, by digging with their bands boles in the
ground—something like a grave—large enough to
receive them I had the good fortune to be the own
er of about one-half of an old blanket that fell to
me on the death of a friend—Smith Cook, of New
Berlin, Cheuango county . I wns considered a weal
thy man on receipt of this, and was greatly envied
by many of my companions. I turned this to the
best account possible. A. it wnuld partially cover
three persons I each night invited two companions
to sleep with me. We then selected as dry a soot
of ground as we could find unoccupied, lay together
" spoon fashion," our much coveted blanket over
us, and slid off into dreams of home, feather beds,
and mother's mince pies. But my blanket was final
ly stolen tram me, and I then knew what. it was to
be poor.
Oar first business in the morning atter breakfast,
lit any had a breakfast to eat—l always ate my l 4
hours ration for supper, and fasted through the day, )
was to carry out on a board for burial, those of our
companions who had died during the night. The
number of deaths during the five months that I was
there, averaged one hundred mad twenty per day.—
I counted them for one month. Some days there
were as many as one hundred and fifty; and these all
died, I kuo.c, from exposure and starvation ; for
when they entered that bell of rebellion they were
as hale and hearty a set of fellows as I ever saw to
gether. When any of our company died, their cloth
ing, if they had any, was taken to cover the living
who were destitute. In comparison with many
others I was well dressed, and was considered finite
a dandy, yet I should hardly be willing to appear In
church at home, In my Andersonville toilet. For
two months I had neither last, shoes, stockings, coat,
vest, or shirt, but I had a pair of pants, which hun "
.
in strings , loose and airy, and the back of an old
blouse, the front and sleeves having previously been
honorably discharged from the service. Negroes
were kept constantly at work digging trenches In
which to bury our dead. After we had deposited
them In piles outside the gate, they were thrown by
the rebels and negroes into a large nix-mule wagon,
carted by loads to the trenches, thrown In amid the
scuffs and Jeers of the rebels, without regard even
decency, and left to sleep till the great day of final
accounts. As I have said before, all the men were
filthy, ragged, or naked, and swarmed with vermin.
The limbs of many were palsied and stiff with s'enrey.
Some of them were swollen by dropsy almost to
bursting. Their bodies were emeared all over with
the excrement of their alertly:ea in which they were
compelled to Be trom sheer weakness. I have sees,
thousands whose bones pierced through the tightly
drawn flesh—reduced by starvation—and sores form
ed at the hips, shoulder blades, he., were tilled with
slimy maggots, whose every motion was untold ag
ony to the unhappy sufferers who had not the
strength to remove them. They died by hundreds,
to be buried like brutes. And all because they loved
their country and fought for their flag. It Is believ
ed by the prisoners and sometimes admitted by our
guard to be the policy of the rebels, to sta r v e In
prisons those that they cannot kill upon the field—
that such as do not die In their hands, shall be so
utterly broken down as not t, he able main to lift
their muskets against them. And It will never be
better until the southern confederacy experienen re
ligion, or our government adopt the system of re
taliation—two things not likely to °emir. But lam
making my btter too long.
On the 2ith day of November, about seven thou
sand of the sick and those nearest starved to death,
were paroled and taken to Savannah to be sent on
board of our vessels, hundreds of whom died on the
way. Bat when we came in sight of the glorious
Stars and Stripes, there went up to heaven three as
hearty cheers us were ever heard. Such es were too
far gone to speak loud, whispered " hurrah!" and
"thank God."
Work on the Pacific Railroad.
The Stara and Stripes, a paper published at An
burn, California, gives the following account of the
rapid progress of the Pacific Railroad through the
Rierra Nevada mountains:
The Pacific Railroad is now being constructed
through this county with a rapidity almost unparal
leled in the history of railroad building. The hills
are being cut down, valleys filled up, bridges erect
ed, and all kinds of railroad work going on as last
as 2500 able-bodied men, with a full complement of
teams, can do it. It is astonishing to ace bow much
such a force, when directed by able and skillful an
perintendents, and the appliances of modem engi
neering, can accomplish. We had hardly begun to
realize that the work had commenced cast of New
castle, bclore the steam horse was snorting on the
hill tops at Clipper Gap, in the heart of the mount
ains, 43 miles from Sacramento and ISIX/ feet above
the sea. Soon his shrill vrhisUe will be hem dat lill
nobstovrn. We learn that the directors have fixed
September Ist for that event, and if it can be ac
complished In that ttme, it is Mrs to be done. The
work Is heavy, but the force is strong and the zeal
is irrepressible.
Our citizens now fully realize that the Pacific
Railroad is becoming a fixed fact, and not many
years will elapse before the completion of this gi
gantic work will be celebrated; and what a celebra
tion it will be. A continuance of the energy now
displayed will soon carry the road over the mount
sins, and then for a rapid race for Salt Lake. The
heavy work on the line west or Salt Lake, is right
here in Placer county, and Is now being vigorously
attacked by the company. We never Imagined the
work would be eo heavy, or that It could be com
pleted so rapidly.
One of the most interesting excursions that can be
made by sight-seers, la a trip on the railroad line
from Clipper Gap to Illinoistown. The cuttings are
all in rock of greater or less hardness, and the boom
of the powder blast is continually heard—frowning
embankments rise as it by magic—high trestle bridg
es spring op in a week. Let those who are skepti•
cal about the construction of the work visit that por
tion of the road and their eyes will be opened.
Persona who have never seen the line before the
work commenced, or while it Is in progress, can
form no correct Idea of the Immense amount of la.
bor required to construct the mountain line. But the

will be one of tile greatest feats of railroad engi

most substantial character. Travelers state that it
is not excelled by any railroad In the Atlantic States.
For one we are proud of this movement of Califor

by the act now In lone.
Tobacco made subsequent to September let, 1862,
and prior to June al, 1884, if It lies been sold, will
be liable to rates of duty Imposed by the art of July
Ist, 1883, whenever it is removed beyond the limits
of the insurrectionary States. If it has never been
sold, but still to the hands of the manufacture, then
it will be subject, when sold or removed, to the
rates of duty imposed by the law now in force.
Manulactured tobacco in the insurrectionary States,
made prior to April Ist, 1b65, and not owned by
the manufacturer, when sold, either to he consumed
in an Insurrectionary State, or to be carried out of
said State, is liable to the tax imposed by the law
now In force,

beyond the limits of the Insurrectionary States, the
rate of tax would be determined by the time when
such first sale was made.
In all eases where any party shall make claims to
have his goods assessed at a different rate from the
current mica under the law now In force, it will be
incumbent upon him to show to the entire satisfac
tion of the assessor that the precise time when the
sale was made entitles him to the lower rate of
duty.
The Mormons.
Mr, Bolles of the Springfield Republican, who is
one of Speaker Colfax's party, thus describes in one
of his entertaining letters to the Springfield ftepubli
can, some of the chief men in Salt Lake City :
" In Mormon etiquette, President Brigham Young
Is called upon; by Washington fashion, the speaker
is also called upon, and does not call—there was a
question whether the distinguished resident and the
distinguished visitor will meet ; Mr. COILL; as was
meet under the situation of affairs here, made a
point upon lt, and gave notice he should not call ;
whereupon President Brigham yielded the question,
and graciously came to-day with a crowd of high
dignitaries of the church, and made, not one of Em•
erson's prescribed ten minutes calls,but a generous,
pleasant, gossipplng sitting of two hours long. Ile
is a very bale and hearty looking man, young for 64,
with a light gray eye, cold and uncertain, a mouth
and chin betraying a great and determined wlll—
handsome perhaps as to presence and features, but
repellant in atmosphere and without magnetism.—
In conversation, he is goo! and quiet in manner, hut
suggestive in expression ; has ideas, but uses bad
grammar. Ile was rather formal, but courteous,
and at the last affected frankness and freedom, if he
felt It not. To his followers, I observed he was
master of that profound art of earnest politeness,
which consists in putting the arm affectionately
around them, and tenderly inquiring for health of
selves and families ; and when his eye did sparkle
and his lip soften, it was most cheering. though cut
warming in effect—it was pleasant but did not meet
you. Of his companions, Heber C. Kimball is per
haps the most notorious ; his free and coarse speech
bas made him so. He has a very keen, sharp eye,
and looks like a Westfield man I always meet at the
agricultural fairs in Springfield. Dr. Hen:liaise] has
an air of culture and refinement peculiar among his
associates; he is an old, small man, ands uggestive
of John Quincy Adams, or Dr. Gannett of Boston,
in his style. Two or three others of the company
have tine faces —such as yon would meet in intelect•
ual or business society In Boston or New-York --
but the strength of most of the party seems to he in
narrowness, bigotry, obstinacy. They look as if
they had lived on the same farm as their fathers 41:1(1
grandfathers, and made no improvements; gone to
the same church, and sat in the same pew, without
cushions; borrowed the same weekly newspaper for
forty years; drove all their children to the West or
the cities ,• and if they went to agricultural Wes, in
sisted on having their premiums in pure coin."
Home and Family of Henry Clay
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commerridl
tells a melancholy story of Ashland, the late home.
stead of Henry Clay, and gives the history - of his
descendants. The old homestead of Henry Clay, It
seems,h, now occupied by the family of Hon. Thom
as Clay, one of his sons, and present Minister to one
of the South American governments. It is owned
by the heirs of James B. Clay, who, it will be re
membered, died In Canada about wear ago. •The
house in which Mr. Clay lived when at home, was
torn down some years since by James, and a mag
nificent structure erected on its site, and there is
nothing now about the place to remind one of him
who once owned and honored it,except the family
bncgy in which the old man and his wife used to
drive about and the oak trees in front of the house,
beneath which he used to sit and talk with his lam!.
ly sod friends.
Mr. Clay had five eons. Four of them survived
him. One, who bore his father's name, was killed
In the Mexican war. Thomas, as I have said, is
now a government minister. John is living on one
half of the old homestead, now divided into two
farms. James died a fugitive in a foreign laud, and
Theodore (the oldest of he family) is, sod has been,
for twenty-five years, an inmate of an insane asy
lum, still avowing to every oue with whom he con
verses that he Is the original George Washington,
nod refuses to respond to a call by any other name.
Mr. Clay had no possessions of any kind at the time of
his death, with the exmtion of Ashland, which
was, of coarse, worth a considerable sum ; but even
that was heavily mortgaged, and he thought at one
time be would be compelled to abandon it to Its
creditors, until, one day, when he entered the bank
to pay one of his notes, lie was told that he did not
owe a cent. Kind and generous friends had taken
his case to hand, and lifted the pecuniary burden
from his shoulders.

IiAIIETTISLL ADDRESS.
The following address bop:La been leaned :
WeeinNoToN, D. C., July 4, 1865.
To the Ilranchts and Aid Bocietie4 Qf ?he United Biafra
Sanitary Comminion :
In a circular (No. 00) issued from this office May
15th, you were called on to continue your labors in
collecting and forwarding supplies up to the present
date. For the alacrity 3ou have shown In comply
ing with this request under circumstances so un
favorable to zeal, we tender you special thanks.
Your continued support has enabled us to extend a
generous assistance to our armies gathered at Wash
ington, Louisville, and elsewhere, before being final
ly mustered out of service. When you have for
warded to our receiving depots such supplies as you
may now have on hand, we shall find our Store
houses sufficiently recruited to meet nil remaining
wants of the service. In the Eastern Department
our work of supply Is substantially done, with the
exception of a Mal service still required in the.
neighborhood of Washington. In the Western De
partment It may continue, on a very diminished
scale, a couple of months longer. In Texas and the
Gulf possibly the supply service may last all sum
wer. But by economy al our stores in hand, we
feel authorized to say that after collecting what is
already in existence,we shall he able to meet all just
demands made upon tis.'
We, therefore, In accordance with our promise,
notify our branches, that their labors In eollecticgg
supplies for us may finally cease from this date. We
shall make no further requialtion upon them, except
in regard to supplies already In their hands or on
their way to them. We hope our branches will use
all diligence In forwarding to our receiving depots,
through the accustomed channels, whatever stores
may reach them from their Sanitary Aid Societies,
or any they have on hand. All balances in cash left
In the branch treasnriea, after settling up their local
affairs, will be forwarded to G. T. Strong, esq ,
Treasurer of the United States Sanitary Commission.
So far as any of our branches are engaged in other
portions of our work In collecting and forwarding
supplies, their labors will continue so long as those
of the Commission itself may last. Bat the supply
work is over, and the characteristic labors of the
women of the land in famishing hospital clothing
anti comforts for sick and wounded soldier are com
pleted. Henceforward, during the few months of
existence still allotted to the Sanitary Commission
to complete Its work of collecting the pensions and
back pay of the soldiers, In which It has 127 offices
established, so make up its scientific record and
close up Its widely extended affairs, there will be no
probable necessity for addressing the women of the
country, and this circular may be our last opportu
nity until the final report of the Commission is
made, of expressing the gratitude of the Board for
their patient, humane and laborious devotion to our
common work.
For more than four years the United States Sani
tary Commission has depended on Its branches,
mainly directed and controlled by women, for keep
ing alive the Interest In its work in all the villagts
and homes of the country, for Watifishing and
handing together the Soldiers' Aid Societies which
In thousands Lave sprung up and united their
strength in our service. By correspondence and by
actual visitation, as well as by a system as canvassers,
you, at the centres of Influence, have maintained
your hold upon the homes of the land, and kept your
storehouses and oars full of their contributions.
By what systematic and business-like devotion of
yoar time and talents you have been able to accom
plish this, we have been studious and admiring ob
servers. Your volunteer work has had all the reg
ularity of paid labor. In a sense of responsibility,
in system, In patient persistency, In attention to
wearisome details, In a victory over the fickleness
which commonly besets the work of volunteers,
you have rivaled the discipline, the patience and
coumee of soldiers In the field. soldiers enlisted for
the war. Not seldom, Indeed, your labors contin
ued through frosts and lads, and without inter
missions for years, have broken down your health
Bat your ranks have always been kept full, and lull,
too, of the best, most capable and noble women in
the country.
Nor do we suppose that you, who have controlled
and inspired our branches, and with whom it has
been our happiness to be brought Into personal eon
tact, are, because acting in a larger sphere, more
worthy of our thanks and respects than the women
who have maintained our village Soldiers' Aid So
doh... Indeed, the ever-cheering burden of your
communications to u• has been the praise and love
inspired In you by the devoted patriotism, the self
sacrificing zeal of the Aid Societies and their indi
vidual contribetors. Through you we have heard
the souse glowing and tear-moving tales of the sacri
fices made by humble homes and hands In behalf of
our work, which we so often hear from their com
rades of privates in the field, who througont the
war, have often won the laurels, their °Mem have
worn, and have °Oen been animated by motives of
pure patriotism, unmixed with hopes of promotion
or desire for recognition or praise, to give their
blood and their lives for the country of their hearts.
To you, and through you to the Soldiers' Aid So
cieties, and through them to each and every con
tributor to our supplies, to every woman who has
sewed a seam or knitted a soak in the service of the
Sanitary Commission, we now return our most sin
cere and hearty thanks; thanks which are not ours
only, but those of the camps, the hospitals, the trans
ports, the prisons, the pickets and the lines, where
your love and labor have sent comfort, protection,
relief and sometimes life itself.
It is not too touch to say that the army of women
at home has fully matched in patriotism and In
sacrifices the army of men in the field. The mothers,
sisters, wives and daughters of America have been
worthy of the sons and brothers, husbands and
fathers, who were lighting their battles. After hav
ing contributed their living treasures to the war,
what wonder they sent so freely after them all else
they bad? And this precious sympathy between the
firesides and the camp tires, between the bayonet
and the needle, the tanned cheek and the pale face,
has kept the nation one; has carried the homes into
the ranks, and kept the ranks in the homes, until a
sentiment of oneness, of irresistible unanimity,'ln
which domestic d social, civil and religions, po
litical and military elements entered, qualifying,
strengthening, enriching and sanctifying all, has at
last conquered all obstacles and given us an over
whelming, a profound and permanent victory. It
has been our precious privilege to be your almoners;
to manage and distribute the stores you have created
and given us for the soldiers and sailors.
We have tried to do our duty Impartially, dill
gently and wisely. For the means of carrying on
this cost work, which has grown up in our hands,
keeping pace with the growing immensity of the
war, and which we are now about to lay down after
giving the American public an account of our stew
ardship, we are chiefly indebted to the money
created by the fain?, which American women In
augurated and conducted, and to the supplies col
lected by you underour organization. To you, then,
Is finally due the largest part of whatever gratitude
belongs to the Sanitary Commission. It is as It should
be. The soldier will return to his home to thud,
his own wife, mother, sister, daughter, for so ten
derly looking after him In camp and field, in hos
pital and prison ; and thee it will be seen that It is
the homes of the country that have wrought oat this
great salvation, and that the men and women of
America have an equal part In Its glory and its Joy.
Invoking the blessing of God upon you all, see are
gratefully and proudly your fellow laborers.

GILEAT FBESILUT IN THE SCIIUYLKILL.—The heavy
black clouds which hung over the city on Sunday
afternoon, but which only treated us to n grateful
and pleasant shower, poured their contents upon
the earth with the utmost fury in the neighborhood of
Norristown and Conshohocken. The hardest rain
which has occurred for many years, burst upon those
towns and the vicinity, and continued for several
hours, inflicting terrible damage on property along
the river, and there is every reason to suppose caus
ing loss of life in one or two instances. The full ex
tent of the disaster is not yet known, and we have
no means of estimating the pecuniary los& On Sun
day night the ricer began to rise, and before morn
ing It poured along in a resistless and overwhelm
ing torrent above the banks, sweeping everything
betore it. There has been no freshet as sudden in its
rise, or as disastrous in its results, since the spring
when the Tumbling River Dam was carried away.—
Some of the scenes along the river on Sunday night
were of the most thrilling character. EICRUSCS, logs,
trees, canal boats, and whole lumber yards were
hurried down by the current, carrying away every
thing which they struck, and strewing the river bank
for miles with debris and plecesof wreck. One man
BM swept away at Norristown, and was supposed to
be drowned, but was found, yesterday morning,
alive on an island in the river.—Phtladelphta /widen.
Tue Gminr PENSION LIEST.-It has been many times
said, now that the war Is over we must set about
paying the expenses. The national debt will soon
ho placed in a position to be constantly diminishing
by the method of taxation now in use. But there
is one obligation which we cannot so readily dis
charge, which will be valid against the nation for
many years; and that is, the obligation to pension
those who have deserved well of their country. We
can hardly Judge of the extent to whicbttbir will
reach, but since the war has closed, the claims are
rapidly accumulating and are arranged as fast as
possible.-.
It la stated that since the war began 64,
pensions have been issued: 34,000 to invalid
soldiers, and 00,000 to widows, mothers, and minor
children. The payment to pensioners the past year
have amounted to 69,000 000 , and when all pensions
arising from the war shall have been granted, the an
nual expense will Do about $13,000,000.

A Juvenile Elopement Case;
The Hartford Courant elves the . partictilars of an
elopement which took place recently at that place.
Tho facts have very much the same ring as In all
cases of runtway lovers, and are thus:
"kiss Anna Brainard Is not yet fifteen years old.
John Vinton is Scarcely nineteen. Now these young
and tender children contracted great admiration for
each other, until their loving demonstrations be
came obnoxious to the parents of the former, and
they issued orders that Vinton should no longer
visit their premises. This Interference, as usual In
such cages, only served to strengthen the bonds of
affection between the youthful pair, and the smitten
' young lady' resolved to curb her ' cruel parents'
of their will. At night the lovers met by moon
light—a horse and carriage bad previously been
provided and was in waiting—and with bag and bag
gage left the town in great haste. They proceeded
to Essex and it is there supposed took the river
boat to New York.
"There were two persons who were knowing to
the Intentions of the elopers, and made arrange
ments to accompany them, but by an unfortunate
circumstance to them were prevented. These were
Stephen Kingsland, aged about nineteen, and Phalbe
Rye, aged sweet sixteen or thereabouts. They
agreed to meet tho lovers at Essex, and left Middle.
town early in the evening by private conveyance.
Alter riding two or three hours, they stopped at a
house to inquire the distance to their journey's end.
' How far is It to Essex?' asked Kingeland. Twenty
six miles,' was the reply. ' How's that r They told
me it wasn't but twenty-six miles when I left Mid.
dferown." Bat you are not out of Middletown yet,'
and sure enough they were not. Elngsland has been
arrested for falsely representing to the owner of the
horse that he was going to Guilford.'
A later accodnt gives the sequel of the affair:
"After reaching Essex Friday night, instead of
taking the boat for New York, as was supposed, the
elopers proceeded to Lyme, and took the night
train on the Shore Road for New-London. Here
they crossed the river to Groton, where Miss Annie
Brainard was made Mrs. John Vinton in a legal
wanner. Fortified with a marriage rertitleate the
youthful lovers started homewards, and now back
to Middletown, ready to receive the forgiveness and
blessing of all whose `guy deceivers' they have
been."
The Golden Circle.
Nearly five columns of the New York 7imes of
the 18th Inst. are taken up with an official procla
mation to the members oi the order of the " Golden
Circle" and an explanation of the purposes of this
mysterious organization. Both these documents pur
•ort to have been promulgated by Dr. George W.
L Buckley, the president, who has been for two
years a prisoner, and is now In Fort Warren. By
the proclamation—which Is fashioned very nod)
like those of the President of the United Btates,
with the usual repetition of "whereas" and the
"now wherefore"—Dr. Bickley orders:
"I. That the order No. 7-6-15 remain In force, and
the suspension of the labors of the several depart
ments of the Golden Circle be continued till July
Ist, 1870, when the exeentive officers of the several
department; and the legitimate members of tha
Congress of the Order will assemble in Wahiugton
City, D. C., and with open doors proceed to dis
pose of such business as may be brought before
them.
Immediately on the termination of the session
of said congress, it will be assembled at the chosen
locality, to publicly lay the corner-stone of the Saxon
University, and to ratify the appointment ot. the
Board of Trustees Ind Faculty ot the same."
And so on. We imagine that after our readers
find that the labors of the Circle are to be sus
pended, they will not care to know much more.
We are not in the secrets of the Circle, and the ex
planation that the object and aim of their etistence
Is to make ' Saxontsm triumph over Latinism"
may be correct, but we suspect that to the general
reader it would seem that the whole story is a very
tiresome hoar, or else that the long eaptivtiy of tie
[doubtless' worthy physician has somewhat shaken
his understanding.
A Novel Enterprise.
Leavenworth, Eaneas,papers contain an advertise
ment of the American L'nion Cattle Association,
acting under orders of the Secretary of the Interior,
inviting one-hundred awl fifty volunteers to join the
Society for the purpose of going on the Plains to
rapture a herd, and tame not less than dye thous
and nor more than ten thousand buffaloes, with the
ultimate object of driving the ultimata to the mar
kets of the States. The Expedition is under the
superintendence and command of agentleman who
is said to have had the most thorough experience of
prairie lite. A good deal of money la supposed to
be in the enterprise, and no little amusement and
physical invigoration; but the propriety of this
wholesale method of killing off the wild herds of
the Plains may be well doubted. They are the
main support of the Indians, and their destruction
can only lead to heavier Indian appropriations, and
the increased robberies and murders, superinduced
by the want and revenge which must follow.
North Carolina
The Raleigh Progres, says there is not a solitary
case of yellow fever at Wilmington. The Progress.,
speaks in the highest terms of the administration of
Governor Holden, and says it la growing vastly in
nubile favor. It also glowingly sets forth the great
benefits that Newborn has received from the Latina
of northern business men.
The editor says that in 1558 it was deemed im
practicable to run a line of steamers to New-York,
but now the northerners have established two lines,
and one or two to Baltimore, While there is a larger
trade for sailing vessels than ever before. The nor
thern element is largely in the ascendant at New-
Dern, and will remain so. The best of feelings ex
ist between them and the natives. The travel be
tween Newbern and Raleigh is large and constantly
Increasing. Cott on has begun to blossom In North
Carolina, being two weeks earlier than last year.
LIGITTNING PLATING CURIOUS FREAKS ON House
RAILROAD Tnscx.s.—The Chicago papers give in
teresting accounts of what they call a strong storm,
last Saturday, revealing peculiar natural phenomena.
They say that the fiery element dashed and shot
hither and thither all over that devoted city. On
the North and South Division street cars all was
wild excitement. The electric fluid toqk to the
rails, and ran up and down the track regardless of
stations, and far ahead of time. Conductors became
frantic; passengers looked desparingly around for
an avenue of escape. Without the crowded cars
poured the descending river; on the rail came the
element they dreaded so much more. The scene be
came exciting. Some rushed from the cars into the
street, and were drenched to the skin In a moment ;
others, more regardless of consequences, watched
the zigzag lightnings play upon the raga. The
philosophically inclined were in their element ; the
practical people who saw no beauty in the threaten
ing lightening, bad left the cars, and were enjoying
free baths in the streets. Locomotion was an im
possibility ; the horses would not go. The light
ning playing ahead of them on the rails was a novel
ty which they preferred to stand still and watch.
Some C. Brtccaraurooz.—This man has been fa•
vored by a British steamer with a passage front Ha
vana to Rmrope. The captain of the steamer Con •
way is a very obliging man, and detained the ship
for au hour beyond the time of aalling, In order to
allow one Major Helm to settle a little difficulty
with the Spanish Courts, caused by the arrest of the
latter for a small debt which he owed a fellow Seces
sionist. The ship was kept back so that it might
not lose the company of the distinguished exile, and
ere long he will be relating to Mason the particulars
of the burning of Richmond by his orders. It will
be a notable meeting, and as Slidell is now pretan
officio In Paris he may run over to London and enjoy
an interview with his renowned colleague. It will
be a nice party, and all the harm that we wish the
distinguished trio Ls that they will stay where they
