SSW..W, by W..WSW W5ff....W5W,......W Christmas Festivities.—Chiistmaa Day passed away as it was ushered in, with mirth, peace, fulness, and enjoyment. Good humor prevailed on all aides, and the children had auoh a carnival aa they never before experienced. Santa Claus looked upon them more benevolently than ever, and found time and inclination to descend every chimney and jlll every stocking pendant from the mantel*, He came with hi* riohest atorea of good things, and in every imaginable variety. Doll-babie* and augar pluma, bugles, trumpets, china ware, popguns, and every coneeivable caricature of a living thing, were emptied into the fire-place, and as greedily snatohed. tip by Ihe anxious and joyous urchins The weather waa highly enjoyable, and the Schuylkill river was frozen over, to the infinite delight of thousands of sprightly skaters. The promenade was patronized; the shops-closed; churches well attendet?, dinner tables , groaned with luxuries of all sorts, and uni versal havoc was made upon the turkey tribe* Altogether, it was such a holiday as Ohrißtmas ought to be—lively, enjoyable, serene, and happy. Christmas at the hospitals was observed wltb great spirit and eolat. At all of them there were apprb- Sriate services, in which the wounded soldiers par oipaled with great satisfaction. For days previous to the advent of Christmas Eve the ladieß connected witH the institutions were indelatigable in their ef forts to procure a sufficiency of substantial* and deli caoies, and in the prosecution of the pleasant duty they were greatly, assist ed by the surgeons and chap lains, and the outside public. The well-filled tables -proved how profitable bad been the labor—how be nevolent tha soldiers’ friends. The various buildings wore decorated with fiats and evergreens, and when the Hour rot tno soniumption or tna viinoi firmed tne convalescent sick ana wounded sat down at tne tables with appetites as keen as those of any of their comrades who, more fortunate, were permitted to partake of the Christmas meal at.their own homes- The unfortunate patients who were unable to de scend to the dining rooms were not forgotten, and fair hands presented to their half closed, feverealips Choice offerings, wbicb could not fail to cause atleast a temporary forgetlulness of pain and suffering. To describe the Beene at one hospital would be to de scribe the festivities at all. Eloquent and patriotic addresses Were delivered appropriate prayers were ottered up to the Almighty tor a continuance of his manifold blessings, and that joyous hilarity whioh every lover of bis country would wish to peroeivein an army hospital on tuch an occasion reigned throughout the day. No disorder was apparent; nothing occurred to mar the general enjoyment, and the soldiers retired at night gratified with the day’s proceedings, and invoking blessings upon those who nad.so kindly given them a day of suoh unalloyed happiness. The churohes, too, were largely patronized, the Episcopal, Catholic, and Lutheran beiDg open, du ring the day. At St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, at 10}.< o’olookA. M., Professor W. A. Newland’s Grand Mass was performed with the assistance of an or chestra and an excellent choir. Dr. Meignen was the leader on the occasion, and Professor NewlanU, presided at the organ. The Mats celebrated was a Deacon and a Sub-Deacon one, Father Jamison be ing the principal celebrant, and the discourse' was delivered by Father Lee. The altar was splendidly deuorated with innumerable flowers, candelabras. .&0., and was illuminated with hundreds of wax ta pers, imparting an effect of the most brilliant and • oaptivating oharaoter. The.church itself was orna mented with evergreens. At St John’s M. E. Sabbath Sohool, Third street, a Juvenile Concert took place. About fifty young girls took part in the exercises. Exhibitions for the children also took place at Summerfield M. E, Church, at Cohooksink M. E. Church, and at seve ral other churches. - The Unitarian Ohurob, Tenth and Locust streets, was yesterday dressed in Christmas green, for the ■first time Bince its ereo’ion. There were no religious services, though a wedding took place there during the day. , Dinners suitable, to the occasion were served up at all our publio institutions—the Deaf and Dumb, the Blind, and the Homes lor Friendless Children. At On kmUuu® Ham a t.finra room mo wmmuibs ana singing, commencing at halfip&st 3 o’olock, A grand entertainment was given to the reoruita at Osmp Wm. Penn. There were a large number of persons from the city. The volunteers enjoyed the festivities of the occasion, and expressed themselves as being well satisfied with the large provision made for them. Turkeys, in great profusion, were sup plied, as well as pies and other delicacies. The oc casion cannot but bo remembered by the recipients of these favors with great satisfaction. On Christmas Eve the Niagara Hose 00. were the recipients of two handsome silver fire horns. The donors were the Niagara Assembly, and .deserve great credit for these valuable testimonials. After the usual ceremonies wete concluded those present Earteok of a collation. There were hundreds of alls, parties, and minor celebrations, that we have not space to refer to at greater length than in title brief paragraph. At the Bedford-street Mission, in the afternoon, a fine dinner was’prepared and carved up to the children and their parents, and all present appeared to relish the delicacies whichhad been pro-, vised for tbe occasion. Perhaps there is no spot within the city limits which olaims the attention of the benevolent to the extent that this does, and yet persocß who have itie their power to contribute are slow to realize tbe fact. A visit to the Mission room will soon convince the most skeptical of the vast importance of the work in which the managers of this enterprise are engaged. Hundreds of child ren are being educated and trained up in the path of rectitude, who have been bom of intemperate pa rents and are among the most destitute.

DUMB® OMitBH flip Will evening the plsees of amusement were plotted, jammed, pressed down-and running over with young and old pleaaure-seetters. Golden Wedding. The practice of. celebrating periodic wedding anniversaries—th.B ■wooden wedding at five yearsjtUe tin at ten, the copper at twelve, the silver at twenty*five, ana the golden at fifty—has become quite fashionable, and in cases (which are necessarily rare) where the Ist-' ter period of married life 1b attained, its observance becomes more or lets a matter of public interest. "We bad on Wednesday evening last the pleasure of attending one of these fiiftieth wedding anniversa ries at the residence of KLt. John Linton, North Seventh street, a retired merchant of this city, and one of our most respected citizens. The mimic wedding was in this instance dispensed with, but nothing was wanting that pertained'to the et celeras of a fashionable levee, the religious ceremonies, the joyous congratulations of kindred and friends, and the usual golden presents. ... . - > A, very touching part of the affair was the reading of a written statement by Mr. Linton, (who haa outlived tbePßalmist’u allotted three score and ten), detailing the more prominent events of his life, from the time of his marriage, December 23d, 1813, and his services in the war of 1814, up to the present time, for the benefit of his children and grandchil dren, with eight of the former of whom he was then surrounded, and over twenty of the latter. This was followed by a neat and appropriate, address, from the Eev. T, De Witt Talmage, pastor, of the Second Reformed Dutch Church of this city of TriicL Mr. T.intnn Raj wife cure xaembera —and a prayer by the Hev. „ T. J. . Shepherd Among the gifts presented to the bride and groom was a group of photographic portraits of ail the children and grandchildren, with the parent couple in the centre, in isolated medallions, but allenolosed In one large, massive oval frame, The presentation and acknowledgment of.this, couched in suitable terms, was also a pleasing feature of the evening, somewhat tinged with solemnity, it is true, for so joyous an occasion as a wedding, but then it was the solemnity which attaches to and beautifies the close of a. summer day, or that tinges autumn with its sober loveliness. The babouet provided for the guests was highly artistic, in which the taste of the confectioner vied with the skill of the florist. •After the, supper, by request, the family per se, from the oldest to the youngest present, formed a double line in the drawings room, preparatory to the bride and groom receiving the parting congratula tions of the company. There was the far- advanced, but still well-preserved pair, at the head of the room, the father’s countenance illuminated with the lingering sunbeams of a well*spent life, and by his side his beloved partner of half a century, the whole pioture realizing the Scriptural benediction upon him that “ feareth the Lord♦ * * “ Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house; thy children like olive plants round about thy table.” The company retired at a seasonable hour, im pressed, we have no doubt, with the appropriate ness of celebrating golden weddings, by all who at tain to that prolonged period of connubial bliss.

There is none, I think, that you are acquainted w ith There is great rejoicing among the professional tribe, while the fighting men are rather down in the mouth.

We get no more beef for onr rations, and no bread but 4oz. of hoe cake per cay instead. This constitutes onr prison fare, so you can see for yourself that It is scarcely sufficient to sustain life, and were it not for the provisions the moat of the prisoners have received from home, it would be impossible to get along. .We have the privi lege of sending out for things at exorbitant prices, and those that were lucky enough to have money when they came in here have managed to get along very welt We were all searched on onr arrival, and what money was found on our person was taken away from us I ma naged to secrete a small amount la my shoes, bat havo Mdjiood-by to it long ago. : «e aia used more Hie does than men Officers being Meirai •« me n« nr fas rsss iq n rrtniutiiM swttrowwi •Our bed is the damp, filthy-Jinor, abounding- in lice and 6/tilllitod.

It w is'quite a surprise, but she received it In a grateful manner.
