PITTSBURGH, DECEMBER 27, 1862
The War.
Our closing announcement, last week,
made a sad record ; and the details of the
battle bring us uo relief. Our army was
repulsed at Fredericksburg. It was sorely
beaten, and forced to retreat. We take
credit for the coolness of our Gene'rals and
the bravery of our men ; but why should
such officers and such men be slaughtered ?
Ilave we blood to pour out uselessly, reckless.
ly, without a particle of benefit, without the
rational prospect of benefit'? Shall we not
inquire for the author, or authors, of this
wanton destruction of life, this maiming,
this wholesale murder ? And shall we not
expose them ? 'Our men were ordered to
take fortifications which, being well de
fended, were impregnable, to a charge in
front. Brigades warp forced to make
charge after charge, without being able to
reach even the first line of the enemy's en
trenchments. And there was no need to
fight the battle. It was, with us, a matter
of choice. And to have taken the position
would have been no special gain to us, and
co great loss to the enemy. It is not a
vital point. And if it was important, it
might have been flanked 'by crossing the
Rappahannock a few miles further 'down.
There is no plea of necessity, nor of being
deceived; and no alleviation, except that
when having with open eyes marched into
a trap and lost 15,000 men, we got out of
it without being out up entirely. Bating
this diminution of brave soldiers, we have
our army still. But we have also deep
mortification, and disgrace, and sufferings,
and loss of prestige, and other immense
evils.
Now, who is to blame T Not the men;
they fought bravely. Not the commander's
' of corps ; they advised against the battle,
and then promptly endeavored to obey all
orders. Is Gen. Burnside the guilty one 7
. It is said he had positive orders from Wash
-4 , ington, to cross the river and assail the
•,, •enemy's works. This, if true, palliates, but
does not justify. Who issued those positive
orders from Washington. Geu. HOWL . ,
' doubtless. When Gen. Burnside was put
at the head of the army of the Potomac,
then at Warrenton, lialleek went to him
and urged, it is said, an immediate advance,
as a political necessity. Burnside refused.
, a.• He would not attempt to go to Richmond
k1,% 7
! , : , , v by the Gordonsville route; but he con
, sented to try the Fredericksburg route, if
pontoons and army supplies were sent there
immediately. Halleck promised these, and
Burnside moved the army. But the pon
i- toons did not arrive at the river for two
' , l
' weeks. By that time the enemy had got to
.:., Fredericksburg with a large army, and had
. ;,, fortified the heights. Thus Burnside was
.eleaseel from his promise; but the order
was that be should advance. He then un
iertook the task. Hence the slaughter.
Shall we then put the main blame on
fleck ? If the plan was his, and the de
, and the imperious order, he is blame
rthy, and should suffer. But were these
his, or must we look higher ? We were
it to charge upon Secretary Stanton the
of dividing the army of the Potomac,
Spring, and of withholding reinforce
ts from the army in the Peninsula, and'
I causing painful delay and final failure.
the trial of McDowell brings out facts'
ling to relieve Stanton, and fix the
iousibility on the President. We also
blamed Gen. Halleck with the with
?log of the army of the Potomac, its
Ifer to Gen. Pope, and the planning of
Pope's campaign, which resulted so
trously. But the correspondence of
. M'Clellan and Halleck, on our fourth
, raises the suspicion that Halleck was
an agent. He says : " I was advised
high official." And again : " 1 tried
means in my power to' avoid with
ring your army, and delayed my de
n as long as I dared to delay it."
:e is meaning in this, though we cannot
at it certainly. We hesitate not to say,
if Gen. Halleok planned the Pope
?aign, which failed so ignominiously
injuriously; and if he planned a aim
one for M'Clellan, which that General
Id not undertake ; and if he yet
ned the Brirnside campaign, whose
able end the people 'now mourn; if he
,he artificer of all these disasters to the
and the national cause, he is unfit for
place and should at once be dismissed
reprobated. But if it has been the
iident who has undertaken to dictate
tarp plans, and override his Generals,
order attacks; and if the Commander
lbief has consented to be the agent of
,r, we then know not what language to
in speaking of the two " high officers."
leave it to our readers' judgment. A
Lion of the fads needful to a discrim
ing sentence are still unknown. They
yet be brought &alt. This, however,
(ready well known: The National cause
suffered great calamities. And it is
to charge these upon the Generals.
Generals are but appointees.* They
office as tenants at will. They have
ly orders, or be removed. They are
dent for reinforcements; dependent.
Aerial of war; dependent for fittri-,
dependent for everything. The

'lee on the war. Let us hold it to its
qailities.
news from the•SOUTH-WEST is not
so encouraging as it was last week.
Rosecrans is still at Nashville, and
id in more closely than is comfort
so far he has been no more efficient
was Gen. Buell.
HOVEY did not get quite to Gren
iss., as was reported. He stopped
les short of that place, and returned
(ena, Ark.
SEIBRMAN has returned with
part of his army, to Memphis.
GP:N. GRANT is thus left alone, at Ox
ford, Miss., where he has, halted for the
present.
A part of our gunboat fleet on the Mis
sissippi ascended the Yazoo a few miles,
where one of the best of the boats, the
Cairo, was blown up by a torpedo. This
is the trst of the ten thousand infernal
machines made by the enemy, which has
been successful. The torpedo burst under
the forward part of the vessel, causing a
large rent. She sunk in fifteen minutes.
The men were all saved. The residue of
the squadron returned to the.mouth of the
river. Five other torpedoes were discov
ered by our men, and taken up. The suc
cess of the one greatly'encourages the en
emy.
THE BANKS' EXPEDITION was last seen
off the coast of Florida, sailing South. It
has suffered from bad vessels. Five of the
transports have been obliged to seek a stop
ping place, having proved leaky and un
seaworthy.
GEN. FOSTER'S expedition, from New
bern toward 4oldsborough, has had a par
tial success; but this, and all other efforts
to operate on the South of Richmond, are
made abortions, by the failure at, Fredericks
burg.
The Winter location, or Winter employ
ment, of the Army of the Potomac, is not
yet designated. It is still immensely
strong. The thlee Grand Divisions, Sum
ner's, Hooker's, and Franklin's, numbered,
at the time of the battle, 50,000 each.
Sigel's Corps of 30,000, has since joined
them. Then there are the forces at Wash
ington, Harper's Ferry, &c., &c.
Will Burnside be continued" in com
mand 7 He seems to have handled his
army well. His 'retreat was skillful. It
is said that the men have confidence in
him, though surely it must be somewhat
shaken. But =he is certainly a far. better
General now,-than he was two months ago.
He had then great bravery, now he has
seen the need of caution. But has he the
skill, the science, the strategy, the power
of combination, the ready judgment, the
firm purpose, and the unbounded confi
dence of the soldiers, which are possessed
by *cClellan7 We need the devoted ser
vices of our best men ; and we do trust
that now, after so much fatal experience,
the President will conclude that he is,
himself, no General; and that it is his
wisdom, and his duty to lay aside polities
in war, and eschew all partizanship and
party schemes, and call to his aid the best
men, and save his country.
P. B.—ln a later dispatch, which we
publish, Gen. Burnside takes upon himself
the whole responsibility of the late battle.
We rejoice in being thus relieved of the
painful thought, that the order had pro
ceeded from Washington. We are pleased
also to learn that the losses were but
10,000, instead of 15,000, as reported.
The letter of Gen. Burnside is apologetic
in his own behalf, and we accept it as from
a brave man, having good. intentions; but
we must still regard his - movement as a
sacrifice of human life, without a reason
able prospect of success, and hence as ut
terly unjustifiable.
The Cabinet Crisis.
There has long been a slight want of
harmony in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet. The
members have borne with each other pretty
well, but leading men, outside, have had
special antipathies. One of the men thus
unacceptable, has been Mr. Seward.
On the 17th inst. a meeting of some
twenty or more Senators was held, when a
proposition was nearly-carried, declaring a
want of confidence in Mr. Seward; and a
resolution was adopted requesting the Pres
ident to re-modify the Cabinet. Mr. Sew
ard hearing of it, immediately sent in his
resignation, and began preparing to leave.
Mr. Chase then also resigned; and there
was a likelihood that most of the members
would follow the example. The President
was unwilling to go into a re-construction.
Mr. Chase oould not be spared. The con
servatives, both Republicans and Demo
crats, desired to retain Mr. Seward. Hence,
after several Cabinet meetings, and many
counsellings and entreaties of friends, con
tinuing to the 22d, matters were so far rec
onciled, that the resignations were with
drawn, The terms of reconciliation, how
ever, as per telegrams of the 23d, are not
fully settled. There
. has been another Sen
atorial caucus; and the Horiee is likely to
become involved. .
We should be exceedingly sorry to lose
either Mr. Chase or Mr. Seward. 'The one
has managed the fiscal affairs of the nation
most ably; and the other has conducted
the affairs of State, and especially our For.
eign-relations, with a skill rarely excelled:
We make'it a point to hold on to men -who
have been faithful, add have well learned
their business.

—Correction by Gen. Burnside.
WASIJISGTON, December 23.—The following
dispatch has been received at headquarters:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
December 23, 1862.
To Major-General Halle* General-in-Chief:
In my report to you of the 19th inst., the
number of our wounded was stated at about
9,000, and the number receiving hospital treat
ment at 1,630. Both of these amounts are
wrong. On the authority of Dr. Letterman, our
Medical Director, I learn that the whole number
of wounded is between 6,000 and 7,000, and
about one-half of these are receiving_ treatment
in the hospitals.

Mejor•General Commanding the Army of the
Potomac.

side's Army.
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
December 16-6 P. M.
To Major-General HalZeck, General-in-Chief:
The Army of the Potomac was withdrawn to
this side of the Rappahannock river, because I
felt fully convinced that the position in front
could not be carried, and it was a military ne
cessity either to attack the enemy or retire. A
repulse would have been disastrous to us under
existing circumstances.
The army was withdrawn at night without the
knowledge of the enemy, and without loss, of
either property or men.

Major-General Commanding.
From Gen. Curtis' -Army—Desertion from the
Rebels—The' Shooting of Confederates, St.
ST. Louis, Dec. 19.—Gen. Curtis received a
dispatch from Geri. 'Herron, to the following ef
fect:
Gen. Hindman is believed to have crossed the
Arkansas river with his infantry, while General
Marmaduke is on the North side with cavalry.
Hundreds of men from Hindman's army are
daily joining that of Herron. Many of them are
Missourians, who express great disgust with the'
rebel campaign in the West, and (WOW the.con
viction that its further.prosecution is hopeless..
Gen. Curtis yesterday received a written com
munication from Gen. Holites, commanding the
Trans-ldbisissippi Department of rebels forward
ed by the dircetion of Jeff. Davis, - inquiring for
the facts relative to the alleged sooting of Con
federate citizens, by order of Gen. MoNeil. En
closed with the epistle is a slip from the the Gre
nada Appeal t containing a passage, credited to
the Palmyra Courier, that Gen. Holmes and the
Confederate government desire to know if the
passage is substantially correct. The reply of
Gen. Curtis will probably be published, and is
looked for with great interest.
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—The Secretary of the
Treasury, in answer to a resolution of the. House
of Representatives has sent a communication to
Speaker Grow, in which he states that the requi
pitions of the Secretary of. War for the money
for the payment of troops have always been
promptly met at the Treasury when an absolute
want of means did not prevent. He says that
since the first of July the sum of $66,504,281
has been paid on such requisitions, as follows;
For bounties, $7,500,000; for recruiting, col
lecting and drilling $10,172,360.41; for ordina
ry pay• $48,881,921.23. .
The amount of requisitions of this description
now in the Treasury Department unpaid is $28,-
600,000. These unpaid requisitions are about
equal to the amount required for pay during one
bi-monthly period. A portion of them represent
pay which fell due before the commencement of
the last bi-monthly period of. September and
October, while about equal amounts have been
supplied for pay which has become due since its
commencement. Precise information on these
points can only be obtained from the books of
the Department. When the resources of the
Treasury became inadequate to all demands up
on it the Secretary of the Treasury communica
ted the fact to the Secretaries of War and of the
Navy and requested them to designate the par
ticular requisitions which they regarded as most
urgent, to the amount of about $1,000,000 daily.
To this extent requisitions are now daily met
from customs, from internal .revenue, from the
proceeds of conversions, from temporary loans
and new issues of United States notes. Thete
resources, though large, are, as Congress has
been already informed, inadequate. No one can
feel deeper regret than the Secretary that a sin
gle American soldier lacks a single dollar of his
pay, and no effort of his has been wanting to
prevent such a cqndition. It is not in his pow
er, however, to arrest the accumulation of de
mands upon the Treasury beyond the possibility
of provision for them under existing legislation.
In his annual report he has laid before Congress
the measure which, in his judgment, will ena
ble him to provide for the estimated wants of
the public service. If he is fortunate enough, to
have their concurrence be entertains the hope
that all ground of complaint because of delay of
payment will soon be removed.
Dec. 20.—The army appropriation bill, which
has passed the House, gives upwards of $lOO,-
000,000 for deficiencies of the year ending in
June, 1863; and $731,000,000 for the year end
ing in June, 1864.
To the Post Office Department, $12,000,000
are appropriated.
The enemy's lose at Fredericksburg was 500
killed and 2,600 wounded.
The printers have furnished the Treasuay with
$200,000,000 of Demand Notes in denominatiom3
of one, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred,
five hundred, and one thousand dollar bills. Of
postal currency nearly four millions have been
supplied. Of notes, larger and smaller, still forth •
coming from the presses of the contractors, there
are $30,000,000 above one dollar to be delivered,
and some $46,000,000 below that denomination,
making a present deficit of $76,000,000. Work
on the contract has been delayed by a call for
notes of smaller denominations.
A dispatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer, says .
that " a man *hose friends have made great out
crx at his arrest, and for whom several Senators
have interested therriselves and protested his in
nocence, on Tuesday restored. .$52,000 to Col.
Baker and confessed his guilt. A determined
effort is being made to prevent the continuation of
frauds upon the Government, to protect its de
pleted treasury, and to stop the work of traitors
in the North, who seek to sap the very life of the
nation."
During the fighting at Fredericksburg, Rev.
Arthur Fuller, chaplain of the Sixteenth Massa
chusetts regiment, and well known as the army
correspondent of the Boston Journal, got permis
sion to take the musket of a sick soldier, and
joining in a charge, was shot dead.
December 22.—Recent information from the
Cheirokee Nation discloses a shocking condition
of affairs there. The loyal and disloyal Indians
are slaughtering one another—the government
severed and a new one organized by the Coaled
erate party, which is in. the minority.
The Senate conformed the nomination of
Caleb B. Smith for District Judge of the District
Court of Indiana.
The l!residcnt'acknowledged, the reception of
the resignation of the Secretaries of State and
Treasury, and informed them that after due de
liberation he has come to the conclusion that an
acceptance would be incompatible with the pub
lic welfare. Therefore, he requested them to
resume their respective functions. The two
Secretaries have accordingly resumed their
places as heads of the departments.
The National Republican, which has hitherto
defended flalleck, is out this morning in an ar
ticle speaking of the demand for a change in the
military arrangement as universal, and of a na
ture not to be trifled with.
Emancipation in.jilicsonri.
The bill introduced into Congress by Senator
Henderson to aid emancipation in Missouri, pro
poses to emancipate to the expense of twenty
five million of dollars.
Oct the Beet,
It has been truly said that " a thing of beauty
is a joy forever ; but, as in the ease of the
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines, where
beauty and usefulness go together, it becomes
doubly a joy, and the pleasure derived from its
possession becomes proportionately great. There
is no mistaking the gratification with which the
tidy, prudent housewife receives one of these
machines ; and, did we desire to add to the
pleasure of our better half during the holidays,
we know of no way' through, which the object
might he accomplished quicker, than by present:
ing her with one of them. The reputation of
these machines is so well established now, that
no one who wants to get the best will have any
other. To this feeling in their favor we may
attribute the fact that upwards of 100,000
Wheeler & Wilson machines have been sold
within a few years; and while other machines
have had their day and are now only known as
things of the past, the demand for the Wheeler
& Wilson increases every day, and will continue
to increase so long as merit is worth anything
and the public can appreciate a good and truly
reliable article. We advise those of our readers
not yet supplied with these machines, to give
them a trial at once. They may be had from the
agents, Messrs. W. Sumner & Co., 27 Fifth
Street, Pittsburgh, at the lowest possible rates,
while in every instance a guarantee will be given
that they will give the most thorough satisfac
tion. • 2t

GREAT BRITAIN.
Mr. Gladstone, in writtng to Mr. Newnkan,
um
"I cannot avoid adding that I think myself a
much better friend to the North Americans, if it
is not presumptuous to use the phrase, than those
who have encouraged and are encouraging them
to persevere in their hopeless and destructive en
terprise. Among these I, of course, assign to
you the prominent place, merited , alike by your
distinguished powers and your undoubted sin- .
cerity."
Professor Newman replies to Mr. Gladstone,
lamenting that the policy of the English Govern
ment appears to be the encouragement of rebel
lion, and to foSter a party of insurgents without
moral claims; and he says that all the world in
evitably believes that England has been actuated
by an intense desire to see the destruction of the
Union, and that every other pretext is hypoc
risy. . .
The London Globe thinks that, the situation in
America promises to soon yield striking , results
of some kind.
The London Times editorially argues that the
success of the Democratic party at the elections
has rendered the Government, desperate, instead
of daunting it; and it looks upon the last news
from America as the worst that,has yet been re
ceived, as it indicates that the match has at last
been pat to the combustible materials which lie
strewed over the whole of the Southern States,
and that the President has resolved upon the
propagation of a servile war.
The Daily News replies to the Times on the
the horrors of Lincoln's emancipation scheme,
and quotes evidence to show that the predicted
horrors are purely imaginary, and that the slaves
will make better use of their freedom. ,
FRANCE.
The Paris correspondent of the Times writes
that the distress resulting from the cotton famine
begins to be most severely felt .in the manufac
turing districts of France. The suffe rings of the
working classes are daily on the increase. Some
of the principal manufacturers and merchants
state in address, that " in the department of the
Lower Seine 100,000 workmen are now destituie,
and to-morrow there will be 150,000. From ev
ery quarter, town and village as well as from the
rural districts, we get the most melancholy ac
counts. The communes have exhausted their
very last resources. The retail trader has no
longer money or credit. The manufacturer has
no longer the means of employing his workmen.
We are happy to testify that each one 'does his
duty nobly. The sacrifices of the masterare nu
merous and incessant; the resignation of the
working man dignified and calm, but, destitute
as he is, he can no longer wait. Subscription
lists are now opened."
It was rumored that French police agents had
beeti sent to Turin to watch the movements of
suspected persons there.
The late cotton crop in Algeria had not been
as productive as was expected.
The English Company which had proposed to
cultivate cotton in that country had withdrawn.
FRANCE AND MEXICO
The Paris correspondent of the London Times
says: "Contracts have, been concluded by the
French Government for the supply of the army in
Mexico for two years. From this it is reasona
ble to infer that a prolonged occupation of the
country is intended."
Two of the new streets in Paris are to be called
Rue de Mexique and fine de Pueble.
THE GREEK QUESTION
It is announced - that the Russian Minister at
Athens had communicated to Mr. Bulgaris the
opinion of the Russian Government that the prin
ciples of the protocol signed by the protecting
powers in' 1830 should be upheld.
An Athens dispatch of the let, says: Public
opinion being irritated by an unfavorable tele
gram, has obtained from government a plebiscite
for the election of Prince Alfred.
The Morning Post says that a club at Athens
has declared that failing Prince Alfred, they
would apply for a son of Lord Derby.
The Provisional government had- presented
demonstrations in favor•of the Duke de Leutch

Arnim, Dec 6.—Voting for the election of a

DIED—In United States Hospital., No. 10,
Maryland, November, 28th, 1862, of consumption,
Mr. ISAAC 8., son of" John and Lydia Moore, of
Rural Valley, Armstrong County, Pa. '
Mr. Moore was, at the time of his death, a
membei of Co. K., 155th'Iteg't P. V., and in the
21st year of his age.
DIED—On the Bth of 'December, 1862, in St.
Clairsvilk, Ohio, Mr. GEORGE ANDERSON, in
the 88d year of his age.
During a long life did this excellent father
show himself to,be a zealous, faithful, -and de-.
voted Christian. ;•$e was a Ruling Elder in fhe ,
Presbyterian Church,f9r about fifty -.years, was
Superintendent , ;of the Sabbath School in this
church for thirty-four years; continued to be
an active, zealous, worker in the vineyard of
Christ, and, died in mature old age, honored and
esteemed by all.
" Precious, in the sight of the Lord is the death
4of his saints." C.
DlED—November 23d, in Tarentum, Pa, of.
diptheria, at the residence of her widowed
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Y., Randelph, MAGGIE .
E. RANDOLPH, aged 14 - years, 5 .months, and
18 days. .. •
Maggie's sufferings, during her seven weeks of
sickness, were great ; but Christ gave her grace
sufficient to bear them without murmuring.
She was very candid, 'cordial, and much beloved
a meniber of -the Old School Presbyterian
Church, and although young, yet very unusually'
advanced in Christian knowledge and expe
rience—affording a very brilliant and beautiful
instance of early piety.
When taken sick, she seemed to realize that
she would not recover. But she did not fear
death ; and Without expressing' s, desire either to
live or die, she would very deliberately and
pleasantly say, "The Lord'S will be done. He
knows best." The first time that her dear
mother spoke to her of dYing, she meekly re
plieg, "Do not fret for mg, for I am going to be
with my father, uncle Leonard, Lizzie, and my
heavenly Father." Again she would say to her
friends, " 0 weep not for me, but mourn for
your sins.; for I am going home, where there is
no more sorrow, no more crying, and no more
dying." Frequently she took her brothers and
sisters individually, and talked to them of
Christ; earnestly, and prayerfully exhorting
them to be faithful concerning their secret
prayers, the Shorter Catechism, their Bible, and
their Sabbath School. On one occasion, after
talking to her little brother Snowden, by him
self, she called in her mother, and requested her
to take him and just then and there kneel down by
the chair and pray for him. The mother did so.
And God grant that these dear little brothers and
sisters may never forget Maggie's Christian ex
hortations, and that his holy angels may rejoice
over many such scenes ! As opportunity afford
ed, she in like manner conversed with all of her
young companions. And it is very pleasant to
record that all her exhortations, to both old and
young, to love Jesus, were solemn, sound, touch
ing; and always to the point.
Surely Maggie's sick-chamber was
"Quite on the verge of heaven."
And when the immortal, beautiful, holy, and
happy angels of God, in her own last language,
escorted her to her .=Happy home, happy home
on high," her beloved mother, brothers and sis
ters, church, Sabbath School scholars, and all
her Christian friends, may feel satisfied that we
have another sweet tie that.binds us to our home
in heaven. . • S. R.

HOOFLAND'S CERMAN BITTERS.
From S. Newton Brown, 8d) . ,, -Editor of the Encyclopedia
of Religious Knowledge.
Althoughnot- disposed to favor or recommend Patent
Medicines in general, through distrust of their ingredients
and effects ;I. yetknow of no sufficient reason why amen may
not testify to,the benefit he believes himself to have:received
from any simple preparation, in the hope that he may thus
contribute wee benefit of others. -
I do this the more readily in regard to Hoofland'e German
Bitters, prejoired by Dr. G. K. Jackson, of this' city, because
1 was'prejudieed against them for many years, under the
impression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. I
am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemakers Esq., for the
removal of this prejudice by proper tests, and for encourage
ment to try them, when suffering from great and long con
tinued debility: The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at
the beginning of the present year, Was followed by evident
relief, and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor
which .T bad not felt for six months . before, and had almost
despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my
friend for directing me to the use of them:

From Rev. ' Stephen D.D.,..:12eat Of Ht.' Geo;rges
The above plan and course eminently deserve and meet
my approbation, as extremely calculated to prepare the

the Most rational happiness of life. 'I believe Dr: Alden to be

highly qualified to work out the plan has proposed, with
success....' STEPHEN STEPHEN B. TYNE*.
Prom, TVna. C pr-stant,
I sue glad to learn that tbe Rev. Dr. Alden Is about to un
dertake the instruction, in this city, of a class of , yoting la
dies in certain branches belonging to the most. advanced
"stage of education, and involving principles by - which ques
tions relating to the most important interests of society!..sre
decided. I have a very high opinion of Dr. Alden, botb,as a
man and as in instructor. .The extent and exactness of his
attainments, his clearness and facility of coMmunication.
'end his kindly Inanners,Lare. qualifications of a high &Mir;
but be adds to these one of inestimable value: that of tellung
a.profound interest in the task of instruction, and. placing
hisambition in the skilful and successful inculeatiOma knOwl
, edge. The opportunity of being taught by such a man—so
well endowed, so experienced, and so distinguished 'in his
vocation—is not , often presented to young ladieS anywhere,
and I cannot doubt that many will make baste to take ad
vantage of it. It will be a favorable symptom of the state of
ireelligence and the love of useful knowledge in this commu
nity, if this class should be immediately filled up.
Wit. C. ARYAm f.
From Chas. King, LL.D., President of Columbia Cbllege.
Dr. Alden proposes to form and instruct a Class of Young
Ladies, who, hating passed through the elementary parts of
education. mardesire to proceed to some higher culture.
Dr. Alden - Is thormighly capable—has the benefit of much
experience as a teaeher—utd the enthusiasm in his vocation
which begets enthusiasm, and so ensures success.
OIL KING.
From Rev. Isaac Perris, D.D., LL.D.,' Chandler of the
. University of tho Gity of New-York..
I regard it as one or the most important events in the de
partment of.education, that a higher E purse of mental train
ing is about to be offered to young ladies, who have comple
ted the ueual Academic studies, by Dr. J. Alden, President of
Jefferson College. No man within the range of my acquaint
ance is better fitted than he to accomplish what he proposes
in his circular. Nis past success is a sufficient guarantee of
what he will do in this, altogether new, effort in our city.
I do most headily commend the matter tomy lady friends.

Prom Horace Webster, LL.D., President of the New-York
Free Academy. '
I have examined, with pleasure, a plan proposed by the
Rev. Dr.) iden, for apost•graduate course of instruction for
young ladies of this city. The plan is an excellent one, and,
carried out under the personal supervision of Dr. Alden, one
of the most philosophic and distinguished educators in this
country, cannot fail of proving highly beneficial to those who
may enjoy the advantages of his instruction. _

Front Rev. E. Irenreus Prime, Senior Editor of the
New-York Observer
It has given me much satisfaction to hear that the Rev. Dr.
Alden is about to enter upon the work of Education in this
city. Ile comes from the presidency of Jefferson College,
where he has been eminently - successful in all relations, be
lug compelled by the health of the family to change his resi
dence. In his professortahip at Williams, and his presidency
at Jefferson, he acquired a wide and well-earned reputation
as a teacher, combining with thorough and varied scholar
ship, a peculiarly facile, genial and pleasing method of im
parting knowledge, making the mysteries of science easily
intelligible to the young, and rendering the abstruse studies
of the higher departments of learning a pleasant pursuit.
The plan that he now proposes, will not fail to he appre
ciated by parents who desire to give their daughters the ed
vantagee of the highest finish in intellectual•cuiture, under
circumstances peculiarly favorable to their improvementand
enjoyment. & IREN/EIIS PRIME.

I have long been acquainted with Dr. Alden, and have long
regardedhim as one of our most able and thorough instruc
tors. In the department to which he has devoted himself, as
President of Jefferson College, he is, I think, unsurpassed,
perhaps, unrivalled. The plan for a Yoting Ladies' Post-
Graduate Class covers that department, and .1 can have no
doubt that it will be carried out with efficiency, and will be
of singular advantage to those who may avail themselves of
it. TUOS. E. VERNMXE.
