jateiest its operations uutillhe thirty or forty thou
sarJ neglected children in our city shall be brought
under the Influence of the Sunday school. Its plan
of operations is both simple and practical, aiming
to establish a school wherein children may be ga
thertd who are not in attendance at any other. A
room of some description is at once secured, the dis
trict canvassed, the children luvited to attention a
given Sunday, when the organization takes place,
and the school it committed to the charge ol a neigh
boring church when praoiic*l>Jo.
These simple measures have been adopted in the
organisation of more than one hundred and twenty

and fifty now in operation in our city, connected
with the various religious dt Dominations* Con

thousand children. Not a few of them are among
the largest and most flout iehtag, out of which
Churches, in muneiou* ibataucep, have been orga

gelioal Lutheran Church.—-A. meeting of the
Lutheran clergymen ol this oity, and a number of
laymen, was recently held at the Lutheran Pub
lication House, at which the following resolutions
were aCopted, looking to the formation of a mis
sionary society of the Lutheran Churoh, with a view
to home evangelization:
WhereaSt The Ltd her an Church of Philadelphia is
loudly called npoi> to piovi* e for the spiritual, wants of
her own chiJdren—both EugiUb and He-man—and to do
her pert in gathering in tho*e that are without: therefore
Jtesolvid, That we. the past* ra and others now here
ammbled, do. for the glory of Go.: and the salvation of
men, so'.txtuly form a Oity Missionary Society of the
Svsngfiu&l Lutheran Chnich for the consolidated city
of Philadelphia.
Retiolveft. That the prominent object of this Society
shall be the execution of the sospel work in this «ity. by
means of our church* by eacouruginc the organizing of
congrcßatt ns and Sunday schools at proper points,
supporting missionary pastors, an« aiding In purcha
sing lots end building churches.
■ Jfesofried* That any person approving the object ofthii
bodetj, and subscribing and ra>ing the sum of , or
more per month, into the treasury, shall be a member.
Renolvfd. That a committee of three be now appointed
to draft a Constitution for tne government of this Society,
embodying the general prin .ipies expre>sad in these re
solutions, which committee shall report at a subsequent
meeting
(The following were appointed as the committee:
Rev. G. F. Krotel, Rev. M. Sheeleigh, and Rev. G.
A, Wenzel.)
Resolved. That It is not intended that the work of this
Society shall interfere with the congregational interest?,
or with the collections for oar several synodical and
other bemvolent operations, or with our laboring In
any of our accustomed enterprise*, but that we hope and
pray that OUT service In this new sphere may rather
stimulate our zeal to greater activity in other Christian
efforts.
It was finally agreed to adjourn to meet in a pub
lic assembly of all the Lutheran churches, English
end German, within the consolidated oity of Fhilv
delphla, at, St. John’s Lutheran Churoh, Race

A monument on the spot which the most ancient tra

St. Patrick’s Dat.—The various societies pro
posing to take part In the celebration of Ireland’s
festival have completed their arrangements.
New Publications*
Meiars, Martien, Chestnut street, have republish
ed two sermons by the late Kev. Dudley A. Tyng.
The first, entitled” Our Country’s Troubles,” was
preaohed|in the Church of the Epiphany, here, on
29th June, 1556. and the preacher, because iu it he
boldly denounced slavery as one of our country’s
evils, was expelled from the reotor*hlpof the church
in which he delivered it. As the first anti slavery
sermon from a Protestant Episcopal pulpit in this
countiy, it is worthy of notice. The second ser
mon, preached in the Church or the Covenant, July
6,1867, Ires'a of “National Sins and National Re
tribution,” and in this he applied the term ‘ I A Con
federacy” to the Southern States—thus anticipating
the title which Treason finally assumed. Tnuse
sermons are worthy of perusal at the present crisis.
The Rev. .T, Hyatt Smith is welt known and
highly esteemed-in this city as a forcible preacaer
and eloquent speaker, an instructive lecturer, a
well read soholar, and a Christian who has had the
good fortune to traverse the Holy Land with the
Bible as bis guide-book, to visit the places made
holy or memorable by reason of their being men
tioned in Holy Writ. It would follow, according
to general precedent among us, that a man so gifted
must inevitably write a book. Mr. Hyatt Smith,
following the example of that greatest of Christian
ideologists, has produced a volume, substantially
prose, but interspersed with many poetical thoughts
and Illustrations, which he has entitled “ Gilead;
or, The Vision of the Soul’s Hospital.” After the
example of Runyan, he puts this forth as “ An Alle
gory.” This designation exactly describes the book.
It Is a story, told in the manner of an allegory, in
Which sot only a religious but also a political moral
is educed. What the author represents as seen and
done in World Town, really maybe noticed in the
daily life which passes before us, and the skill with
which the different personages, (each a distinctive
and representative character,) are individualized, is
aitistioal to a degree. Great truths are set forth
here in contrast with great errors. The parable,
(pp. 346-348,) of which Pompey is the hero, illus
trative of Christian training, is ingenious as well
as amusing, and the reminiscence, a few pages
farther on, of a scene at Jerusalem, is in the author’s
very beat maimer. In some parts ol the volume
(but more fully in chapter XV.), therejare severe hits
at Treason, and some candid critios have sneered at
him therefor. We have yet to learn that treason
is so sinless that a clergyman may not denounce it,
by pen and tongue, in the pulpit, on the platform, in
his study* We congratulate Mr. Hyatt Smith on
having a book which loyal men will read and ap
prove—which attainted politicians alone can con
demn. Perhaps, at no distant period, he will pub
lish his Pilgrimage to the Holy Land. We may add
that H Gilead,’’publishedby C.Scribner,has already
gone into a second edition.
English Magazines tor February*
We have the Comhill Magazine and also Temple Bar ,
from Mr. J. J. Kromer, 403 Chestnut street. The
former opens with the article uson Thackeray, by
Dickens, which we lately republished. Lord Hough
ton (R« Monckton Milnes) follows this up with a
short poem on the same subject, and this is supple
mented by a proße tribute by Anthony Trollope. A
very kind notice of the late David Gray, a young
Scottish poet of much promise, and a searching ac
count of the life of a faun-laborer in England, are
the ;only other papers of striking merit here. The
three serial stories now running through the Comhill
hang fire this month. The March number will con
tain the first part of the new story which Thackeray
left unfinished. Dickens, who has read it, reports
very favorably of it.
Temple Bar is a better magazine than the Comhill,
In the present number Miss Braddon’a new novel)
“The Doctor’s Wife,” is continued ; Dutton Cook’s
“Trials of the Tredgolds ”is concluded; and a new
serial, “Broken to Harness,” opening in a London
newspaper office, and written by Edward Yates, is
begun. Sala’s “Streets of the World; the Passage
des Panoramas, Paris,” is brief and feeble. There
is an admirable paper on Commanding Ofiieers and
Courts-martial. It is full time that* in the army
and navy service of England and the United States,
many much-required alterations in the trials of sol
diers (of all ranks) charged with offences should be
made by a strongly-reforming band.
The Sentiment* of a Friend.
To the Editor of The Trees:
Sis: I have to a.k the favor, aa a mere matter of
juatice, that you will publiah the reply of “ Barclay
ol Ury ” to the hot-blooded old aoldier, hla former
comrade, who, not haring been converted to Qua
keriam, aa hia old master had been, asked hie leave to
revenge the insults offered him in the streets of
Aberdeen on account of his religion. That will be
sufficient to show the extreme unfairness and want
of candor of “Amicus Amioorum,” who represents
his quotation as expressing the sentiments of a
“Friend.” No doubt “the world will be asto
nished” at the peaceful “Friend*” being congra
tulated on “ having produced the finest wan lyrist o
the -countryand perhaps its astonishment will
almost amount to incredulity on being told of a
“ Friend ” being a “ contributing member of the
Hibernia Greens,” “though it Is true hedid not
authorize it.” To be “ brought up ”by such a mas
will account for all the want of truth and candor
shown by “A. A.” in Mb article beaded “The
Exemption of Friends from Military Service.”
The whole poem »< Barclay of Ury,” by Whittier,
.is a noble vindication of peace principles, and old
j Barclay beautifully expresses the sentiments of
every true “ Friend.” “A. A.” quotes the follow
ing lines:
“Barclay ! ho. a Barolay!”
And the old man by hie side
Saw a comrade, battie-tiied,
Scarred, and sun-burued darkly:
' Who, witn ready weapon bare,
Fronting to the troopers there,
Cried aloud, “ God save us 1
Call ye coward him who stood
Ankle deep in Lutzen’s blood
With the brave Gustavus 1
“ Speak the word and masier mine,
As we charged on Tilly’s line
And Ms Walloon lancers,
Smiling through their midst, will teach
Civil look and decent speech
To these boyish pranoers.”
Now, this is part of the speech of an old retainer;
mark the reply of the “Friend:”
“ Nay, Ido not need thy sword,
Comrade, mine,” said Ury’g lord.
“ Put it up, I pray thee;
Passive to Ms holy will,
Trust I in my Matter still,
Even though He slay me.”
if # # <fi *
“ Give me joy that in His name
I oan bear with patient frame
All these vain ones offer;
While for them He sufi’ereth long,
Shall I answer wrong for wrong,
Scoffing with the scoffer?” Ac,
As to A. A.’t covertly expressed charges of
cowardice and hypocrisy against “Friends” of the
present day, I leave them to be replied to by tome
of their own number. I may be permitted to add,
however, I too “ was brought up by a Friend,” but
one who “lived as a life what ho apprenended as a
principle.” He not only refused to pay his militia
fines, hut suffered a levy on Ms goods time and
again, and onee, at least, wa* " oast Into prison,”
And I have no doubt there are now in this city hun
dreds of “Friends” who, if the necessity come, will
give up all they have to pillage, legal or illegal, and
even offer their lives a saerltloe—die martyrs to
their convictions of duty to a meek and suffering
Saviour—rather than take up arms la any cause.
“I am a Quaker, and, therefore, cannot fight,” in
the nineteenth century, is precisely equivalent to
“I am a Christian and cannot fight,” in the first
and second. Truly yours, B.

a grand display of pyrotechuio fires, thus ending in
a blaze of glory and patriotism dazzling to all be

ron. She touohed at Fortress Monroe on the way
here, from which place her news was telegraphed
to this oity, and published in The Press . Several

overhauled, and in a few weeks sail with stores,
«Cr, for the same squadron. Those desirous ol send
ing letters should leave them at the Navy Yard be*
foie she leaves.
Committed Suicide.— About 11 o’clock,
yesterday morning, a woman named Eden Spring
field, aged £5 years, cut several pieces of flesh out
of her throat, and threw them on the floor. The in
cision made was large enough for a hand to enter.
She was taken to the Feeney] vanla Hospital, be
tween 3 and 4 o’clock in the afternoon, where she
died about an hour after. Her mind was deranged
at the time. She oocupied a room by herself at No.

stion of the stook of the company into full-paid
shares, ha* been adopted by a stook vote, as fol
lows : 10,163 votes oast in favor, and 1,923 against it.
Tbis decision of tbe stockholders will give the
company sufficient means to build the extensive

absolute necessity from the increased business of
the road, which is now one of the most popular of
our city railroad companies.
Quick "Work.— The Supervisory Commit

Correction.—We inadvertently men
tioned in our account of tbe fire published In yester
day’s Press that tbe sparks from the steamer of the
Philadelphia Hose Company set fire to the roof of
a house on Front street. TMs is a mistake, as tho
sparks came from a steamer on the same street.
The Philadelphia Hose was stationed on the ivharf,
above Lombard street, and played three firn-olass
streams for eight hours on the burning building.
Coroner’s Inquests.— The coroner held

Young’s liquor store, No. 700 Paisyuuk road.

THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20.1864.
Chakgb in Affairs.—A great change
dm dime over a certain olau or individual. In tni.
eliy within the paat year. Thii i. apparent in the
recruiting of colored men for the. U. S. army. Oae
year ago to morrow a batch gf six colored mea were
enlisted In this city by Captain Edward Efalloweli
O;ow colonel), for the 64th Regiment Massachusetts
Volunteers (colored). To prevent these men from
being mobbed and insulted, a covered wagon was
obtained/ which conveyed them to Walnut-street
wharf. The cars were taken to New York, and
fcnm there they were Mart to Camp Melg, at Kead
vlUe, MM.achu.ett., Some pereon. In our comma,
city were highly .hooked at the idea o( making <ol
dlera out of the poor down-trodden black., who have
.o long been looked upon by many with contempt.
The few who then appeared on the atreeta attired
in a military euit, were .neered at and per.eonted.
■ The number recruited daily gradually grew larger,
gnd there eurlon. pereona became more favorable
toward, them, and at the preicut time scarcely an
Individual can be .een turning up his nose when a
colored soldier paa.ee by. They now tee the great
importance of uiing these men to aid In cru.nlng
the rebellion, for they have, on every ocoa.ion,
P« <> H d „ t S em . ,6lved ,ull y aWe > not only ‘o fight, but
to endure long marches. The 6tu Regiment of
Colored Troops, which left this city About two
moDths ago. participated in the advance on Rioh
mond, with the white troops, last week. They were
highly complimented by Brig. General Wistar, who
commanded the forces, for their marching qualities.
The change is apparent to every one, and further
comment is useless.
Hibernia Engine. Company.—This ve
nerahiG organization In the Fire Department, that
conneete the present with the part century, .will
have a happy time this evening, at the hall, on Eve

The Old Washington Grays. —This
oompany, under Lieutenant Ralston commanding,
will take part in the celebration on Monday, it i.
one of the oldest companies in Philadelphia, and

one hundred men to the war. The company itielf
was in short .ervioe on two or three occasion, when
the old Keystone State wm threatened, or its soil
trod upon by the Toot of the traitor. The Orav. It
is thought, will parade sixty men. y

An Orphans’ Court was held by Judges Thomo
son and Allison for the transaction of the peculiar
business appertaining to that court.
In the Quarter Sessions, Judge Ludlown, no
cases were tried, and at an early hour in the morn
ing the court adjourned.
Three small boys, who are the associates of a gang
of pilfererb, were arraigned at the Central Station,
yeateiday, on the charge of the larceny or some
crackers or cakes from tne bakery of Mr. Hartman,
on South Delaware avenue. The defendants seem
to have had very little parental restraint. Wntle
the magistrate was meditating whether to send the
hoy a to the Hohae of Rernge, or dispose of them
otherwise, the mothers or sisters of the juveniles
began to abed tears, and made the most piteous
appeals to his Honor. Tears of women once saved
Rome—a city of stone buildings. Why, then, not
have some effect upon the stony heart of a Phila
delphia magistrate ?
At first he wm stern M Ooriolanus himself, but
finally, under the moßt positive promises of the wo
men, he decided to bind the boya over to be of future
good behavior, assuring the mothers that if the de
fendants were brought before him again, to the
House of Refuge they must be tent. The tears
aforesaid were speedily dried up, and a search was
made for bail.
Yesterday morning three lads boldly entered the
shop ol Mrs. Haly, on Front street, near Race, and
commencedstealing what they could easily lay their
hards upon. On being discovered the trio ran
away, but one of them was captured by Officer
Hutchinson. He gave tbe name of John Cressweli.
On his person were found three boxes of mourning
pins, a new portmonnaie, a purse containing $2 86,
a big jack-knife, with black handle. In reply to the
alderman as to how he became possessor or the
knire, he said " one of the other boys stole it and
gave it to him.” The mourning pins and portmon
naie were evidently stolen from some trimmings
store, where such things are usually kept for sale.
The lad was committed to prison.
[Before Mr. Alderman McCahen- 2
Rather Novel Case
A suit for trespass was finally adjudicated yester*
day a fteraoort, growing out of the following circum
stances. It seems that on last Saturday a bill of
sale or house to be let was potted on the front of the
residence of Mr. Cyrus Oadwallader. This bill bore
the name of George N. Townsend, real-estate agent,
to whom application was to be made. Mr. Cad
wallader sent a messenger to the office of Mr. Town
send, requesting that the objectionable paper should
be removed.
It seems that a person was directed to piaoe a bill
on the houre next door to the residence of Mr. C.
would have been a perfectly legitimate transac
tion, but the “ bill< sticker ” made a mistake in post
ing it
The messenger of Mr. Cadwallader was received
with levity at the office of the real estate agent,
one of the attaches placing his thumb aside his nose
and gyrating his fingers at him. The bill was not
. removed, hence the suit.
Mi. Townsend desired a day to introduce evidence
that he had no personal knowledge of the affair*
Time was given him, and yesterday afternoon satis
factory evidence was submitted.
The alderman suggested the propriety of the par
ties entering into some amicable arrangement and
thus settle the affair, but the counsel for the plain
tiff insisted on a judgment. The defendant expressed
a willingness to comply with any decision the ma
gistrate should make; all he desired was to prove
that he had no personal knowledge of the occur
rence. The alderman rendered a decision assessing
the damages at $6. The defendant paid the amount
and thus the affaiT dosed*
James McClelland, M. D., a surgeon in the United
States nary, was arraigned, yesterday, on the charge
of threatening to oommlt personal violence on one
of the Bounty Fund Committee of the Fifteenth
ward. It seems that the member of the committee
called at his house for the purpose of soliciting a
subscription to the fund. This application resulted
in a series of threats, which lea to the arrest as
above stated. The defendant was bound over in the
sum of $4OO to be of future good behavior and to
keep the peace.
