I Thanksgiving In the army has been very gene* ■ rally enjoyed by, the, soldiers; The liboral supplies sent by their friends at the North did not all arrive in time to be received on the appointed 2tth, bat most of the officers and men drew enough both as to quantity and variety to make a. good dinner. In lieu of the turkeys with head,: feathers, and feet, which couid hot ho counterfeited, the sutlers, for greenbacks, and the Sanitary and, Christian Com missions, gratis, provided-the canned substitutes roasted, baked, and boiled. - ■ Some of the surgeons provided for their patients a variety of meats, a few of which may be men tioned. They wore: Lamb, mutton, and sheep!; ham, bacon, and pork; veal, beef, and ox. We had also Jreshssalied andmiteii t frufi fishy'oysters raw, in the shell, stewed in <sans,’and Baked In pies. Of fruits tfiere were grapes and apples, green and dried, peaches and' berries, preserved in various styles; frßits that grew upon trees and others that matured In 'the ground ; vegeiables, some grew, above the ground and others In it, and some that ripened wholly neither above nor below, but partly both above and beneath the earth. I will not, however, attempt to enumerate all the side-dishes, lest some one should suspect me of being a “ penny-a-liner.” Now,; if no one had. all those, different ones hacl them ail. If none had them all on one hot,'some have had them, or will have them, on different days. The truth is,“ this year in the A. F. was not confined to one day, but scattered along through several “lays, and all the way from New York to Virginia. -Wo know not when the good things commenced oomlng, nor do we know when they will stop, for sure it is we have heard of them a long time on the way, and some of them are yet a long way off. It- wa3 • said they were ordered to the front to those In the trenches, and if they have gone there we aro content. But, query: Should hot invalids In hospitals, with mangled limbs, or with diseases contracted in the trenches, be regardedas at the frt.nl moved back 1 To-day a soldier, whilst eating his Thanksgiving turkey, received a bullet, which rendered It; heoeesary for him to leave and come to the rear. It may bo the Johnnies have known that our men were feasting on the good things from home, and spitefully cut short his meal. The rebel gained nothing, and the wounded man shall lose nothing, for he is baok in time for our elongated,Thanksgiving. '■ D, E. L. ~ British "Violations or Neutrality. To the Editor of The Press: Sir : I have just road an article extracted from the. Boston Advertiser, and ascribed to a statesman of the highest eminence, citing a long list of viola tions of neutrality committed by Great Britain, as a retort to thecomments of the British press in the case of the Florida. - The writer appears to have been' diligent- In ex ploringhistorical antiquity, and to have been led back by hla researches even Into times when you • .were English citizens, prottd of the name, and when the shame of English dishonor fell on you. 1 will not venture to discuss the cases- individually,not having the propermeans of reference at hand. Any candid reader will, I think, see that a pretty strenu ous effort has been made to press rather reluc tant auxiliaries Into the service./ The seizure of the Danishfleet, for example, besides being a some what stale Indictment, cannot be cited In answer to a charge of violating a neutral port. It was, if any thing, a care of commencing war without good cause and proper declaration.; If the author of the article will turn to the papers on the subject in Coleridge’s . Friend, he will see the act defended, on grounds of the highest morality, by a publicist who was opposed" to it "as a matter of policy, and who was certainly not a vulgar flatterer of Hie'passions of his country men, nor regardless of the moral law. The general remark which I wish to make is, that' of all the cases,-not one, morally pertinent falls within the last half; century. The only two pre-. , tended instances within this period are the burning ' ■of the Caroline and the seizure of the Santa Cruz, The burning of the. Caroline was hot in any moral sense a violation of a neutral port. It was/an incl ; ; dent in an irregular border.; war, brought orTOy the interference of -American sympathizers in the Cana dian rebellion. The Santa Cruz was alleged, as the writer states, to be engaged in the slave trade, and was seized, not from any motive of national in ; torest, or in any spirit of- aggression, but In exercise' of the high police of nations. The exercise of this high- police is a delicate matter, and is pretty sure to lead to some .disputable, acts,jybich, however,.if. done'in good: faith, will'not taint the general mo rality of the nation. //- ■ ' It Is during 'the last half century, and since the’ conclusion of the Napoleonic wars, that moral senti ment has made its greatest progress on the subject' of national rights and obligations* and especially in regard "to the rights of the weaker nations. No one acquainted with; the tone of European morality would believe a Government oapable now of doing what Governments were capable of doing in tbo time of the French Convention. You are citing ' deeds done in comparative darkness,', to warrant, you in sinning against meridian light. The last great precedent in tlie international history of Eng land is tbo voluntary cession of the lonian Islands, which had been put Intn-hor possession half a cen tury before. Such anact proves, in'the eyes of all candldjudges, that; the old age ofaggression and violence, with all its precedents, is rapidly being numbered with-the past. „ As charges against English honor, oases half a century old are irrelevant. You cannot push.the figurative personality of a nation so far. Scarcely an Englishman is alive who could by any possibility have been implicated in the capture of the Essex; and no man believes that If that act was what it is represented on your side to have been, there is a Sir gle Englishman at, the present time capable of. assenting to its perpetration. In the counsels of Providence the sms of the fathers are visited on the children, but, before, a human tribunal, the sins of. 'the fathers must be ratified.by the children before they can bo laid to their door. When praising the liberty of conscience enjoyed in this country, I have encountered the objection that the New Englanders persecuted the Quakers; but I have not paid much respect to the objection. It la not to bo forgotten, either, that since 1815 the English Parliament has been reformed, and some thing like the sentiment of the nation has begun to prevail in the counsels of our G-ovornment. Before that time we were ruled by an. oligarchy, whose" proceedings were sometimes as violent abroad as their Government was oppressive at home. Legally, of course, this change does’ hot -affect our .identity - or our continuous responsibility as a nation j but morally it does. And you have need yourselves ol the same equitablo consideration. You would be sbrry to be taxed as a free nation with all the inter national acts of your late slave-owning Govern ment.. I might,"perhaps, from the; history-of- these acts,[euH the materials of a retort to the writer in the Boston AdverlUer. But I do not wish to be familiar with the criminal records of nations. Let the dead past bury its: dead; and let us, as wisdom and generosity alike prescribe, rejoice in the improved morality of the living. v ; , ' Suppose -England to be as bad as yon will—to be as base as your fathers thought:her glorious—it is not in the presence of England alono that you stand in deciding boiween honor and dishonor. It is in presence of the whole community of nations; and. those who, instead of recalling to your minds abthts most critical moment of your moral : life, the high principles of civilized molality and the brighter ex amples of your own history, divert your eyes to the, bgd precedents of evil times, conspire, however un- Intentibnally, with that one of the two. contending voices in the-national breast which tempts-you to, tako the downward path. There is a certain class of questions which, when an honorable man is call ed upon to decide in his own case, ho puts all equivo cal precedents and everything else behind him but the thought of his own honor. I am, &c., Tit© Freedmen. ' . THE CAUSE IS riTTSBUBe. A meeting was held In Concort Hall, In Pitts burg, on Monday evening, the 28th nit., to, consider the claims of the freedmen, and the duties of the North In regard to them. F. B. Brunot, Esq.., pre sided, and Hev. Phillips Brooks and J. M. Mofflm, of Philadelphia, and William F. Mitchell, of Ten nessee, addressed the meeting. Much Interest was manifested by the audience in the subject, and steps were taken to organize a! Freedmen’s Belief Com-, mission. The following resolutions were unani mously adopted: ' * ■ , Resolved, That we' heartily approve of theprlnoi pies and purpose of the Pennsylvania Freedmon’s Belief Association, and. that, acknowledging our duty In the premises, we hereby express our desire to be co-laborers with them in this,great and useful work. '.V ' ■ ' ' : . Resolved, That in the judgment of this meeting: it: Is expedient to appoint a committee of ten, with power to add to their number, whose business It shall be to correspond with the Pennsylvania Freed men’s Belief Association, to raise funds for the benefit of the freedmen; to call future meet ings to consider the subject, and adapt such mea sures for the promotion of the cause as to them may setm proper. The committee appointed under the last resolution embraces such menas C. G. Hussey, Thomas Bake well, Win. Traw, ex-Governor Wm. F. Johnston, Rev. Hr. Howard, E; H, Irish, Esq.; GeneraVHowe, ,&e,, iic. This committee Is to be the nucleus of what is to be called the “ Plttsbur gFreedmon’s Aid Commission,”—auxiliary to the Pennsylvania ' Freedmen’s Belief Association, of this city. Gene ral Howe is to be its chairman. It is in contemplation-to hold at an early date a mass meeting in Pittsburg to consider this question of the freedmen In all its bearings. J. M. McKim and liev. J. Wheaton Smith, of Philadelphia, are expected to bo among the speakers on the occasion. Meetings of a similar character, and to be adSressed by ; the same parties, aye to beheld ln Meadvlllo, Erie, and other towns in Pennsylvania.

To the Editor of The Press:;- \ ; 4 Sir : The subject of my communication published in The Press last week', viz : Our duty to the fa mi. lies of our noble soldiers, who have laid down their llyes for the'“old flag,’’ or- wlio.-are now.shedding their blood for If-off” every 'battle-fleld, seems to have made a favorable impression, and- to 'have, turned the current of human sympathy toward that class of suffering-humanity. Human and religious sympathy, however large, oan never meet the de mands—the claims which such.' suffering families have a right'tb make on it, In this city, attha present time. ■ - ' '» - Would that the thousands of our wealthy citizens could see and hear-what I do dally, in.thesphere Of my ministerial labors. Would that they oould ac company me to those homos of-poverty; soo the de solated fireside, the fatherless children, the widowed mother, pinching poverty, gnawing hunger, con suming caro, prisoned together in sqme wretched spot on which the sun of human happiness never, shines. Well, “ Who can. help that 1” 11 Are we to be wretched because 'they are so l” s/ater, “that* weeping, woe begone widow was once the happy wife of one who laid down his life for you on some bloody battle-field, j Those fatherless children you see In rags, with pale, hungry faces, were once well*, clad, ■ and heyer before felt the gnawings of hun ger; never, never, till their 'father grasped the sword and.lald his life on his country’s altar, 'A?bd you have become rich by the war, or Nature has opened her big, full heart and* poured her oil trea sures into your purse. And yet the families of the brave, noble soldier—G-od bless him—are. almost li terally starving at your door. Shame on humanity! I know you axe giving away hundreds of dollars for benevolent and humane objects. I know the rich give much more than the bulk of humanity gives them credit for. But are your contributions directed to the best ends'! Are your hundreds and thousands directed so as to do the most’ good! Would five, or ten, or twenty thousand dollars distributed among our poor soldiers' families not have done' five, or ten, or twenty (I will not say thousand) times more good than that amount expended for turkeys, etc., for Thanksgiving dinners? Let me not be misunderstood. No man loves the soldier or the eause more than I do; but could the voice of every soldier reach? us, it would tell us to feed and elothetheir loved ones *at home, and the families of those who have fallen on the field* of bat tle! , The Government will see that we are neither hungry nor naked. Mr, Editor, 1 feel assured, sir, that our city yea, our land—needs its sympathies more awaken’ ed on this subject. We have noble and efficient or ganizations, through, which great suffering may. be . prevented, and present pressing! misery alleviated. To widen the sphere of usefulness of those who are laboring for the good of these fainMles, and make many hearts glad, all that is needed is money.
