" SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1864.
.. Sir : In the name of the suffering families of ouf
brave soldiers, let me thank you for the Insertion o_
■ my articles on the above subject, and. for your fa",
vorablo editorial in The Press of tho 13 th Instant,
I will only trouble you with this one-brief commu
nication before the holidays; and my object I s
to ' give our oltlzens an opportunity to make
glad the hearts of some, who, so far as this
world’s good things are .Concerned, are entire
strangers to comfort. My plan Is this: I will take
to market as many such needy families, both of
soldiers and others, as our citizens desire to favor
with a good, turkey, or chicken, or goose dinner
for Christmas or New Year—each family's dinner
not to exceed $5. For every $5 sent to City Pastor
'he will, at the request of the donor, see that a desti
tute family is supplied with a dinner be the value-of
"onnt- This will-make your donations go at
OSC6 tO f tcinsp6VvyMccrp-E.ugy“m»n-<»w -a n»m
moreover.be a family blessing. In which thellltlO
hungry ones, who never knew the taste of turkey
or good tilings, will be made happy for once. I have
received from Misses B. J. and H. L r Id. two tur
keys and a basket of potatoes.for this object.
“O ladies, dear ladies, the next sunny day - :
Please trundle your hoops just out of Broadway,
Prom its whirl and its bustle, its fashion and pride.
And the temples of trade whieh tower on each side.
To the alleys and lanes, where misfortune and guilt
Their children have gathered, their city have built;
Where hunger and vice, like twin heasts of prey.
Have hunted-thelr victims to gloom and despair;
Raise ihe rich dainty dross, and the hue hroid ered skirt,
■Pick your delicate way through thodampneisanddirt,
Grope through ihe dark dens, climb the rickety stair
To the garret, where wretches, th« young and tho old,
Half star ved and half ndk ed,lie crouched from the cold.
See those skeleton limbs, those frost-bitten feet,
All bleeding and braised by the stones of the street;
- Hear the sharp cry of childhood, tho deep groans that
swell * ,
Piom the poor dying creaturethatwrith.es on the leer.
As yon sicken and shudder and fly from the door;
Then home to-your wardrobes, and say, if you dare—
Spoiled children of fashion, you’ve nothing tc wear!”
\ City Pastor.

HENRY BUDDY,

GOVERNMENT.
SALEM LEG COMPANY,
BALEM, MASS.,
Soldiers’ Families,
To the Editor of The Press :
Change of Front.
To Ihe Editor of The Freest
Sib : It la a remarkable evidence of the strength
and virulence of British prejudice against our oouu
try that so i&any even of the leading religious periodi
cals are accustomed to the use of language as severe
and bitter as can be found In any secular print.
Among these the Christian Observer takes thelead
In abuse and misrepresentation; and so offensive has
It long since become In .these respects, that many
of Its oldest patrons In this country have refused to
take It.
It was not so a very few pears ago. As late as
April, 1857, in a notice of the late Professor Henry
Heed’s two lectures on the “ History of the Ameri
can Union,” after alluding to a previous work hy
tho same author on “ English literature,” the re-'
viewer Bays: “The little book before us respeots
his own country, and is designed to show that, while
‘for tho Constitution of the United States America
owes a debt of deep gratitude to the sages and states
men who constructed It,’ and whilst they have to
(hank for their independence 1 the good men who
proclaimed it,’ their thanksgiving for the ‘ Union
Itself is .to be rendered to Almighty God.”’ “I
speak It,” says the author, “with reverence and
humility, and with thoughtfulness in the words which
I use, when I say that this Union of ourß is the work
of God.” If the “ Union is indeed from God, ’’ says
the reviewer,‘’Shall it rhe cemented tpith human,
suffering and blood 1 Shall hands In chains he em
ployed to secure the citadel and sanctuary whloh
God has built 1” The work “treats?’ continues
the reviewer, “with considerable power and clear
nesf of the tendency of the Saxon mind to general
union associated with specific independence— a com
mon head wlth iarge liberty for all the members.”
•This temper of mind brought the State* into
- “ union,” and Is the best security for its endurance.
-But; when some of the “members,” only throe
years after this paragraph was printed, attempted
to decapitate the body, and thus paralyze and de
stroy it- and, of course, all the other members with
It—this same Christian Observer folds its arms with
an expression of unmlhglod contempt, and rather
exulted in the prospect of a general destruction of
head, body, and members, I
The reviewer adds: “ The rulers of England may
learn at best one lesson from the history of Ameri
ca, vie: That a mother country should affection
ately nurse her colonies as long-as t hey need it, and
be prompt to let them loose when they are fit to be
out of the nurse’s urns.” May they not learn a
further lesson, via •' That If thenursUhgs are abused
: they will be very likely to fight their way out of the
nursery, and perhaps get the better of the old lady
herself; and when they are fairly out and have
gone Into business for themselves, the less they see
and hear of the nurse the better 1
l am, sir, yours truly,
. Philadelphia, Deo. 22,1884.

fijf Iron Letter.—We ana the annexed tribute
jo.the skill or Pennsylvania meohanlos In the Bir
mingham Fast: By the last American mall we re
ceived a letter Which Is remarkable both as a doou
inentary eurloslty and a specimen ofaaunfaeturing
aklll. It Is written on iron rolled so thin that the
sheet Is only twice the welght of a similar sized sheet
of ordinary note paper. One letter is eight Inches
long by fiye-and {quarter broad, and itswelghtis
two pennyweights and twenty-ono grains. The'
weight of a sheetof ordinary note-paper of the same
size is one. pennyweight and eleven groins. The
letter Itself explains why we received It. It 'la
dated “ South Pittsburg (Pennsylvania), November
iitb, 1864,” and It runs: “.To the Editor Of the Bir
mingham Journal: Sir: In the n amber ofyoar paper,
dated Oct. lst, 1804 ( there is an article setting forth
that John Brown Sr 00., of the Atlas 'Works, Shef
field, bad succeeded In rollings plate of Iron thirteen
and a half Inches, thick. I believe that to be. the.
thlokest ever rolled. I send you this specimen of
Iron made' at thd Sligo Iron Works, Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania, as the thinnest Iron ever rolled In
the world up.to this time, which Iron I challenge all
England to surpass for strength and tenuity. This,
I believe, Will be the first Iron letter that' evor
crossed the’ Atlantic Ocean,and If yon Should think
It.worthy, of notice,ln yourwldely-clionlated paper,
please'send Me a copy of the same. Tours, &0.,
John C. 1 Evjlns. l * :wo are assured by competent
authority the iron npon which thls letter Is written
■ieof exceedingly fine quality, and that the sheet Is
by far the thinnest ever seen in this country. Some
remarkable specimens of finely-rolled' Irdn were
shown in thes Belgian Oonrt in the Exhibition of
1862; but the .thinnest., of them was ranch thicker
'than this. The production of such a sheet Indeed is
:hlghly creditable to the Manufacturing skill of Pitts
burg, the Birmingham of America.
Government, bonds continued depressed yesterday,
and the sales effected were at a farther decline on the
prices of Thursday. The 6-20 a sold at 106& hr the after
noon—a decline of 1%, and the 10-40 s at 100%—a decline
of*. The 1881 loan was firm at 100%. The recent re
action in the-price of the gold-bearing'Gjiyarnment
bonds Is owing to thy fact that no announcement has
yet been made that : a limit will be pnt to their Isshe.
In the hellet- that the Secretary of-the. Treaaum vronld
authorize the burning of only one hnndred iniiHons of
-the 10- 40 bonds; and when that subscription was se
cured, -would then state that nomore gold-bearing
bonds.wonld be issued, a speculative demand apron,
up for this description of securities, a day or two ago,
and the $100,000,C00 were readily absorbed. ; A despatch
In the papers of yesterday, however, stated that It-was
understood in Washington,among prominentflnanoiers,
that Secretary Fessenden will issue more 30-40 bonds.
Another private despatch, received here, says it Is the
Eecretary’s’ Intention to issue the whole $200,000,000
authorized under the act of Marth 3,- 3861. We are not
prepared to say how far these advices are reliable, bnt
the fact of Mr. Fessenden having given no expression
of an intention to limit the issue, now that the first
SIOO,COO,COO have been taken, at least gives countenance
to these statements.
The general stock market continues dull. State and
City loans are "but little inquired for, though, prices are
about firm. The share list was very dull, and prices
fell off materially, except in Beading, which was a
shade better. Philadelphia and Brie sold at 25#» a de
