To VERY Ray. E. MchlszoN :
Very Rev. Dear Sir:—We have heard
with regret of your determination to dis
solve the relations which for fifteen years
have existed between you and the congre
gation of St. Paul's Cathedral. Upon the
occurrence of such an event we deem it
our duty to convey to you an expression
of the feelings which it very naturally ex
cites within us. As Managers of St. Paul's
Cathedral, after an intimate intercourse
with you in all the relations we have
borne to each other, we must thus address
you. As Administrator of this Diocese,
during a vacancy of the See, your official
acts were marked by wisdom, propriety
and justice. As Rector of the Cathedral,
after an intercourse with you in 1111 its
official intimacy, which most of us have
had for the whole period of your admin
istration, we have found you influenced
always by principles of the purest zeal and
most exalted devotion. Perhape no single
individual amongst us axcelled you in a
laudable devotion to promote the success
of religion, by personal services and sac•
rifices, ci,pecially in the work of the erec•
tion of the Cathedral, which is at once the
pride of our city, and a suitable monument
to our holy religion. We regard you as a
source through whom, in the exercise of
your holy office amongst us, many have
peen made happy in their dearest. ties,—
many belonging to us have been introdu•
ced into the fold of Christ—through whom
many have received those sacred rites of
religion, which our faith teaches us to
prize as essential to father, mother, sister,
wife husband, brother and friend.
We shall continue to remember you as
one whom we revere, whose memory we
shall always cherish as ati instrument un•
der God, encouraging hi 3 fold and direct.
ing his flock in the way that leads them to
salvation. Your sincere friends,

serE, and others, Manager.; of St
Paul's Cathedral :
Gentlemen —l' our flattering addriss,
on the occasion of my resigning the Rec
torship of the Cathedral, has hen
raccic
ed. I need not say that I feel highly com•
plimented by the kind and grateful feel
ings to which you give expression. I teal
that they are unmerited.
I hate labored in the Diocese of Pitts
burgh for the last fifteen years in a variety
of poeitiors—as Pastor, Vicar General,
Administrator, and Rector of the Cathe
dral. Daring this lorg period I may have
committed many faults, and been wanting
in many things, which you have overlook•
ed ar.d forgiven. But I think I can say
that I have done the beet I could, end act
cd under the influence of proper motives
in whatl have d-ue.
In dissolving my connection with the
Cathedral, I feel that I ought not to let
the occasion pass without leaving a wil
ling and grateful testimony to your re
spectful and truly C:nholte department
towards me, as well as to the efficient aid
you have rendered me whenever the inter
eats of the Church, or the welfare cf relig
ion required your services. Indeed I
part with you, and the coogreation which
you represent, with no other feelings than
those of admiration and gratitude. Alt
have eddied me by their docility, obedi
ence, and piety during the many pleasant
years I have spent among them. Pray
tog that God may ever protect you,
With sentiments of the highest esteem
and regard, I remain gentlemen,
Yours, very respectfully,

THE Pooa.—We took occasion a day or
wo since to call attention to the fact that
he present cold weather and high price of
nel was causing much suffering among fhe
poor in our midst, and urged that imme
diets steps be taken for their relief. We
have heard of instances of urivate indi
viduals taking the matter in hand, but as
yet there has been no public movement in
regard to the matter. Other cities are
awake to their duty in the premises, and
the Mayor of Baltimore makes the follow
ing timely and humane suggestions to the
councils of that city :
" The season has come when it is neces
sary to make some provision in the way
of fuel for the indigent in our community,
and I would respectfully suggest the neces
sity, as well as propriety of making a do
nation for this very laudable purpose."
Why should not the councils of Pitts
burgh take some action towards supplying
the poor with fuel during the winter? If
something be not done, Pittsburgh will
enjoy the unenviable reputation of being
about the only city in the Union which
permits indigent men. women and children
to sufferfind perish from cold. Shall we I
deserve such a record

RGEI SANITARY FAIR -- A few
days since we suggested the propriety of
getting up a Sanitary Fair in Pittsburgh,
at the same time giving the amounts clear
ed by .irmlar enturpr:ses in the various
surr , Jondirg cities. We stated at the same
time ihatonegentlernati, Mr. Henderson, of
the Theatre, would give $lOO to start it,
told expressed the opinion that many oth-
Ers would gladly follow his example if the
matter would once assume a tangible
shape. We are now in a position to state
that other gentlemen will subscribe most
liberally towards this patriotic enterprise,
and all that iv needed to carry it to a sun
cessful issue is the united support of the
press and the countenance and support of
a few of our leading ladies and gentlemen
of the city. What say you, brothers, of
the English and German press Shall we
have a Sanitary Fair

J. Heron Poster, Provost Marshal for the
Twenty second District, yesterday received
the following dispatch from Col. J. V,
Bomfori, Assistant Provost Marshal Gen
eral at Harrisburg:
" The time for pay eg bounties tas al
lowed prior to January r.th) has been ex
tended for a few weeks. Continue enlist
ments accordirgly."
This is a wise move, and no doubt it
will have a good effect in prcmotiag en
listments, which, had the payment of
bounties been stopped, would have fallen
away to nothing. Those who enlist now
will, until further notice, receive the
bounties allowed by law, without reduc
tion.
THEATRE.-Mr. BEIID:103811 appears tbie
evening in Brachvogel'e great slay of
" Narciese." In this play there is ample
scor e for the varied dramatic powers of Mr.
Bandman. "Narciese "is represented as
a man of genius, and at the same time a
pauper ; a man of learning, he is also a
vagabond : a gentleman by nature, yet
ruined by circumstances, he drifts away
unon a wild sea of misfortune. The play
offers us, amid brilliant dramatic effects,
the pageant of one of the most terrible
eras of history, placing us upon the
threshold of that time of retribution, the
French revolution, and repeating to us
the mutterings of that waking tempest
which was destined to convulse the whole
of the civilized world.

The 105th Regiment Pennsylvania Vol.

the lat 3 Col. A. A. McKnight, of
Jefferson county, who fell while nobly
leading a charge at the battle of Chau-1
cellorville May Bd, 1868. No regiment
from the ' State has rendered more effi
cient service to the Government. It has
participated in sixteen battles and skirm•
ishes, in all of which it has had 674 men
killed and wounded. There is not an
officer in it who has not been wounded
in some of its battles. It is compos
ed of the best material that Jef
ferson, Westmoreland and Allegheny
counties could produce. The Sewickly In•
fantry, of Westmoreland, now command

this regiment. Col. Calvin A. Craig, a

Mr. Davis, of Ky., replied to the re
marks of Mr. Wilson. He called for the
reading of his resolution, on which the
action was based.
Mr. Wilson in the course of his remarks
said : How eublime a thing it would be in
this crisis of our county, for the Senate
of the United States to rise to the height
of a stern and holy duty, and cast out one
who has dared to tell a loyal people to
revolt, and take its powers into their own
hands. Such an act of avenging patriotism
would fire the loyal heart of America,
silence the mutterings .of treason, and
nerve the arms of the heroes who are
battling and bleeding for the Republic.
Mr. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, thought it
would be desirable before coming to a vote
to hear the Senator from Kentucky, after
that he hoped that the resolution would
be referred to a comm.ttee.
Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, said he was
ready on this or any other occasion to
submit to the judgment of the Senate. It
was not for him to suggest what course
should be taken. It was a grave question
but he was now prepared to reply to Sen.
ator Wilson. He asked for the reading
of his resolutions, upon which the Senator
had arraigned him, and the resolutions
were then read.
Mr. Davis said he had cot anticipated
this movement, it was sprung upon the
Senate to his surprise. He had considered
his resolutions well and they had his defi•
nite approval. The jaundiced, narrow
mind of the Senator from Massachusetts
was wholly unprepared to interpret them;
his heart and his mind totally disqualified
him for the task: he entered his solemn
protest against the Senator's version and
asked all candid sensible Senators to con
sider them for themselves. He denied
that he had said that the army had been
subsidized by the President, and that the
heroes of cur battle fields were maligned.
What he said was that it the present ex
ecutive endorses the schemes allud
ed to in his resolution, these leaders
in the event of the failure to reach
their conclustont, and to succeed in their
nefarious and treasonable object, would
throw themselves hack upon the armed
power of the Government against the
lords of the land. He stood up for his
resolution and intended to abide by its
fate. He would read the section upon
which the learred, erudite and patriotic
Senator based his indictment. His rest>
lotions only proposed to institute a plain
and frank investigation of the measures
of the administration, and he intended to
continue such investigation until the Senate
expelled him, and it the Senate should
do that be had a higher mission as an
American Senator and free man, born un
der the constitution which he had imbued
in his infancy and cherished in his man
hood. He would go home to the people
of his loved native Kentucky and raise the
cry of opposition, tyranny, usurpation and
revolution against the faithless who have
charge of the Government. We had fal
len on evil times. indeed -we have a great
rebellion, second only in importance to
that when Lucifer was thrown from Heav
en. We have in this administration of
the Government, in all the departments
men who have sworn to support and de
fend the constitution.
House—Mr. Wilson, of lowa, from the
Judiciary Committee, reported a joint
resolution amendatory of the resolution
of July, 1862, to punish rebellion,
and to confiscate estates, ,t.c. It pro
vides that forfeiture shall continnesnly
during the lifetime of the offender,' in
accordance with the Constitution, and
that the President's message, of July,
1863, shall be a sufficient warning in all
cases now pending, or hereafter to arise.
Mr. Wilson explained that the resole
tion simply submitted the section of the
Constitution relative to forfeitures, leav ng
the courts to decide whether they aball
be in fee or only for life.
Mr. Kerman, of New York, said he was
opposed to amending .the present laws,
believing that forfeitures could be made
only during lifetime. The subject was
then passed over.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the second auditor to report the charter
of the expenses and whether the military
were called out by the Governor for the
defence of Pennsylvania, &c. This infor
mation being necessary as preliminary to
the action on the pending bill to mica
bursa that State for the expenses incurred.
On motion of Mr. Stevens, of Pa., the
farther consideration of the bill was post•
poned until Monday or Tuesday.
Mr. Coffroth, of Pa., introduced a bill
compelling the Provost Marshals in each
congressional district to hold their ex
aminations at the county seat of each of
their respective districts. The bill was
referred to the Committee on Military Af
fairs•
On motion of Mr. Myers, of Pa., the
Committee on Military Affairs was instruct•
ed to inquire into the expediency of
amend.ng the enrollment act so as to make
the term of service one year.
PHILADELPHIA, January 13.—James B.
Nicholson, Grand Sire of the I. 0. of 0.
F. of the United States, will leave this
city this evening for Wheeling, on a mis•
Rion to the Lodges of Western Virginia.
The Lodges in that State have been die
organized sicce tha rebellion, and it is
the object of Mr. Nicholson to again unite
them with the organ:73tions in the loyal
States.
.
Nisi , YORK, JR1:!ORO 18.—The- lrerald
contains the following seeoial dispatches:
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, January 12.—The
guerrillas made a dash into the camp of
the First Hassaehusetts cavalry a night or
two since, near Warrenton, and captured
seventeen men and thirty five horses.
The same day another party struck upcn
1 1 the mule train of the First Maine cavalry
and captured four of five men.
Deserters do not come in quite as fre—
quently just now as they have done. J.
Id. Slaughter, of company 13, 14th Ala- 1
bama, who came into our lines a few days
since, reports that rations are short, and
that tea, coffee, and sugar, are unknown
in Lee's army.
He deserted because he was tired of
,the service, and because he and others
who had served with him regard the
rebel chance of success as hopeless. He
says that:men are shot almost every day
by rebel pickets, while in the act of de
serting. The orth Carolina troops are
so much disaffected that they are not
trusted to do picket duty, and the same
disaffection has appeared among the
Georgia troops.
One entire Georgia regiment had made
arrangements, to cross over into our lines
last Friday night if they were placed on
picket. It is presumed their intention
was known to the rebel military authori•
ties, as their picket line, which had ex•
tended below Rapidan and to Robinson's
ford, was drawn into the south side of
Rapidan, so now the river is between the
pickets of the two armies.
serter.
HEADQ CARTERS DEPARTMENT OF WEST
VIRGINIA, January 13 .—Reports com
mence to reach us, through scouts and
incoming farmers, of rebel Doti during the
late raid. All reports agree that the
rebels treated friends and foes alike, going
into houses and taking bed clothes and
such like away, Some houses the rebels
literally stripped of such articles, leaving
the dwellers therein to suffer from the
extreme cold for want of something to
comfort them.
The rebels took cattle, corn, lto
wherever they found them. Their late
actions have gained them no favor among
those who professed to be their friends.
The rebels have also adopted a new
dodge to gain interest for the sinking Con
federacy. They took all kinds of valua•
ble property, and pretented to pay lib•
erally for it in rebel scrip. This scrip
they circulated in large amounts. Their
object is, that having taken' a man's
property, they desire to gain his interesi
in the Confederacy by leaving in hie Doe
session the rebel scrip, believing that'
self-interest will gain to them mnch.sup
port, directly or otherwise.
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF WEST
VIRGINIA, CUMBERLAND, MD., January 13.
—Scouts report General Early falling
back up the Shenandoah Valley. This is
regarded as reliable therefore all fears for
the safety of the railroad are now looked
upon as absurd.
The latest news from the Kanawha Val
ley is very encouraging. The Kanawha
river is entirely frozen over. Heavy
snows on the mountains prevent active
operations by either our own or the rebel
forces.
Deserters contine to come in, telling
pitable tales of the n suffering endured by
the rebel troops in their late attempted
raid. Nothing has yet been heard from
the cavalry force sent in pursuit of
Mosby.
