THE GETTYSBURG BATTLE* FIELD MEMORIAL. AN APPEAL TO LUYAL PENNSYLVANIANS. The “GETTYSBURG BA.TTLE-FIBLD MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION ” was instated for the of ,e- S«w*t7 T JIi. thB "J 11 ® 1 ® 11 P° lntB upon the great battli -field of the war, in the enact condition in which they were left in July, 1863. when the rebel horde, of the Invader I be were driven hock from tho frss soli or ieimsvlvama, and when the the gallant soldiers of Oenkral Meade remained in possession of the field which they had won by their valor. The Association nave already secured the purchase of Ckmbtkry Hilt., Culp’s Bill, Granite Spur, and Bound Top, with the entrenchments thrown up just upon the eve of the great conflict Which was the turning print in the careerof the rebellion. The field, with its redoubts, wonderful Htone defences, its timber breast-works, its fore.sk heights, with the trees torn by shells and countless ballets, and its long lines of earthwork defences, have all been pre served intact, and to so continue to preserve them, as to be a monument forever of the greatest of American battle-fields, is the object of the formation of the Asso ciation- To enable a large number of persons to join in thiß patriotic work, the projectors of the plan placed the subscriptions at ten dollars each. The payment of this sum MAKES KAiJI SUBSCRIBER A MEMBER OF THE ArtSO CIATH*X. AND PART OWNER OF THE GLORIOUS FIKLD OF GjiTTIVIH'IHI. What Loyal and Patriotic Citizen of Pennsylvania would not gladly embrace the privilege of recording hU same upon this roll of honor, and of linking himself di rectly with the field where the loity heroism of ’ii 3 countrymen vindicated the integrity of the Union and the principles of Freedom ? And who would not dasira to hand down at a precious heir-loom to his children the evidence of Ms part in the good work, bearing, as the certificate will, a view of the field which will rank In history with Tukumovyl.t:, Marathon, and Waterloo ? Tlure are no salaried officers in this Association, nor axe thexe any objects in view in its creation other than these already stated. 'The grounds were purchased from their origiial owners at the exact price to be paid foi them by the Association, and the points selected, and ihe prices to be paid for them, met the unqualified ap proval of a committee ol the Historical Societt of Pennsylvania, appointed for the purpose of visiting the field.

STATIONS have been multiplied, eachwitb its chapel and store tents, free writing tables, and clothing, com forts and r«adln*matter for xratnitoa.B distribution. VOLUNTARY DELEGATES. in numbers greater than ever before, have been sent to preach the Gospel at the station* and in retiments, batteries, and camps without Chaplains, distribute reading matter and stores, and labor for tbe good of the Bodiers A PERMANENT FIELD AGENCY has been sufficiently extended to establish stations and superintend the work. THE BLESSING OF GOO rests signally on all parks of the work. Many thousands have beeu c' enred, bene fited and saved. Still a large part of the Army remains nnretebed, and double tbe number, both of stations and delegates, are needed to meet the urgent demand for them. The Christian Commission offers to the people a per fectly reliable and wonderfully economical channel to reach tbe entire Army in all its various fields. The money given goes in fair measure, in benefits for body and soul, directly to the Soldiers, and stores also, imme diately f) om tbe bauds of delegates from home, who add words and deeds of kindness to the gifts when bestowed. Let tbs people give the Money and Stores, and the work will be done. - . Tbe large Corps of Delegatesnoff in the field will serve as a grand corps of relief when the aimies shall move and battles be fought- and the treater their number the more prompt and effective will be the relief they shall render. ___ Let set the present work languish.

He is better than Co wper and Thompson in their special walksofpoetry, and the equal or Wordsworth, tfce great high priest of nature. [Freni the Now York Times.] . None of our poets have shown a greater conscientious! ness or fidelity io man or naraie The emotions which he describes might be sworn to before a court of philoso phers; the treat; ana dowers which he paints, and the birds which Hit among them, challenge the scratiny of the neturslist. * [From the Bound Table ] Throughout the vo.time are evidences of a serene and joyous prime, which age cannot wither, nor the rust of years corrode. The 41 Life that is,” “A Sick Bed,” “The New and the*old,” *‘The Cloud on the Way,” are all recognitions of the season to which tho singer and his life-companions have arrived; bat they breathe com* plaisance with the sweet law of Nature's successions, and are radiant with faith that looks behind the viel. Bis philosophy, like his poetic aTt, resembles a tranquil river still widening toward the close.
