DONATIONS TO THE Goirmsa - Err.—The Phila
delphia Evening' B'Tfrlin, 9f Tgonriay, has thl3
following.
The war is not only developing heroism and
devotion to the national cause in the field, but
there are instances of spirit and generosity at
home, one of which came under our notice this
morning. A gentleman, whose countenance
intricale character to no ordinary degree, ap
peared at the cffi-e of Jay Cooke, Subscription
Agent, and handed $660 "for the Government."
Supposing, naturally, that he wanted, "Five
twenty Loan," $lO were returned him, as only
multiplies of $5O are received. A minute's
explanation ensued, in which the gentleman,
in Jackson style, declined to give his name and
wanted to have the $660 sent as a donation to
the government. A letter was accordingly
written and sent to Secretary Chase asking that
it -might be used by the United States without
any receipt, bond or return, except the satisfae
.tion of having done his duty. The most singu
lar part of the whole matter is that when the
letter was presented for signature, with a dash
of good humor, he signed it "War Democrat,"
and left for the poatoffice with the letter, which
will doubtlesste publicly acknowledge I.

wes progressing admirably. Famine was be

All apprehensions of an attack upon our rear
