THE REFRESHMENT SALOONS REFUSE AN APPRO-
PItfATJON.
A communication from ihe.Unioh Volunteer Refresh
ment Saloon was received. It is as follows:
To the SeUet and Common Councils of the City of
Philadelphia; .
Gextt.kmen: We have been informed that an ordi
nance makingan appropriation to'provide refreshments
for. our. gallant soldiers going to the seat of war-had
passed one branch ot the. City Councils, and would, no
doubt, pass the other. * •
•Wecannot but express onr gratitude for this evidence
of your love and esteem for our noble defenders, and
we also consider it an evidence of kindness and svinpa
tliy toward tho committee who have had the charge of
providing, for the brave non. Bnt, at the same time,
wc most respectfully suggest that we deem it inexpedi
ent for you to make any appropriation for the above
purpose at this tim*.
The funds by-which refreshments have been pro
vided have been sustained most g-nerously by the vo
luntary offerings of citizens for more than
three years, and we very, much mhtake tho intentions
and determination of a generous people if they do not
coniiue their support in the same manner until the ac
cursed rebellion is put down, until the last Union sol
dier, crowned with victory, shall have returned to his
home and friends. It is the boast of our citizens that not
one dollar lias ever been required from City, State,
or National Government for this noble work. Phila
delphia, we believe, stands alone in her pride in this
particular. We say, then, let the work commenced
ana so nobly sustained, be carried on until completed
iu the same praiseworthy manner.
is true, however, that the United States Sanitary
Fair has absorbed public attention, and that as a conse
quence we have been lost sight of, but we are not discou
raged i we are quite confident that we shall receive
enough to refresh every one.
Perhaps it may be necessary to make an appropriation
at some luturo time; but at present we.believe it can be
supported as It hasbeen in the past.
■v Yours. very truly, on behalf and by order of-the 1
Union Volunteer Refreshment Committee.

J. 8.. Wade, Secretary.
The bill making the appropriation was accordingly
returned by Select Council. .

Bight of all nations, and whose cause the Almighty is so
elQQttGMly. pleading by tho devastating haud of civil
war, it is fitting and proper that we should publicly
express our sentiments upon the events now transpi
ring, and which mark such an important epoch iti our
bitstory. We, therefore, recommend the adoption by
the Conference of the following declaration of senti
ments:
First. That while we regret that this nation, refusing
to rise in the dignity and grandeur of a great moral
principle, and relieve itself of the chief, ifnotthcoaly,
cause of lh* present terrible eonfiict, basso far lost the
opportunity for the performance of a meritorious deed,
as to leave no alternative but to lias'Q been driven into
its present policy, by the mete force of eircumstaaces,
we nevertheless fully appreciate the distinguished in
strumentalities through which the Almighty has been,
pleased to operateiu carrying on hisgreat work; andj v
while we are thankful to all who have designedly con
tributed toward tho removal of the great sin of the na
tion, wo are abundantly satisfied that for all the good
which we may enjoy, as the results of this great-re-'
bellion, our thanks are pre-eminently duo to the Lord.
Second. That In connection with the historical fact
that in every struggle to secure the independence of this
Government, as well as to perpetuate its existence, co
lored men have ever been faithful ahd true to it. Tho,
unsullied record of thoir intense loyalty, coupled withs
their iudomitable courage,unflinching bravery ou every
field .where they have roel the enemies of the country,
is a standing and-withering rebuke to those who would
rob them'of thoir rights and-Interests in or Identity
with this nation, and ia u l . record of which any people
may well bo proud,. v " v- j ;- \ • « , . '
2 T A/nLtTltat we recognize the hand of God . through
out this conflict,-overwhelming and controlling events
in the interests of His cansci and that however wo may
deprecate war and bloodshed, wo aro nevertheless con
vinced from the undeviating aud irresistible CGurso'rof
Divine providence, that neither the wishes of thoso who
favor Sts vigorous prosecution as tb#shortost way. to
ponnftjient peace, nor tho opposition of those who.woubi
end it without regard to conseadences, can avail to ter
minate this war one hour before, or to protract Jt one
_ hour beyond the uccoropUshmeut of tho Bivinepurposos
m regard to it. :
lovrlh. Tliafc we onght as a racoto belinfeignedly :
truthful to the Almighty for the groat morat changoa
which have recently taken place in this nation, both in
Church and State, immediately affecting our interest,
and that so far from allowing it to cxeito our pride nad
vain exultation,’we should be deeply humbled before
God, in view of the wonders he is working for us, not
withstanding our sins and-unfalthfulness. ; J
Fifth. That we regard tho present as an hour of the
deepest interest to the race—an hoar to which God, hu
manity, and the rapid march or events undoubtedly:
point as the hour oLaction: that as at no period of our
past history have circumstances so conspired to urge
upon ns the importance of concentrated action, no no
duty is more plain than that we should seek, by all
honorable rneauH, i\ more permanout uniouof our people,
souinliy pod religiously,»» thokare way of securing tho
blessing of Heaven,and through It the speedy elevation
of tho race , from its present degraded condition tl tho
occupancy of thepoßitlou to which the Almighty will
raise ii, whenever they shall aeo and join together and
their hearts become enlarged to God and to each other.
Sixth. That while we pity that portion of the Ameri
can people who, notwithstanding the awful visitation
,of Divine displeasure upon the nation, because of its
cruelty in despising and oppressing a weak and defeaca
dess fail to see and comprehend that we aro now -
witnessing the last desperate by which God
usaiilly reasons with nations—for lheir crimes aro yet
demonstrating-their attachment to long'
cherished Wickedness, by thoir factious opposition to
the Uiiloii 05 Ged will Imvo U> Rhd their clamor for it ai
it was when it awakened his wrath and indignation
wo find it difficult to decide whother those among us
professing to he Chnstlans, who are similarly opposed
to the union of our people, and claim that our interests
»h a raco will be best subserved by tho retontioa of our
old spirit or diam Hon and opposition, are most enti
tled to our pity or ouv detestation.
