p. S.-Since the above was written, and
as an illustration of the demands made
upon the Western Sanitary Commission,
acquisitions for supplies of all kinds have
been received from twenty regiments
near Memphis. A supply for the sick
of Is 900 men was Immediately sent.
On the same day 25 large boxes were
sent to the army in Arkansas, and 20
barrels to DR.. Warmer at Columbus.
Such outlay cannot be long continued
without corresponding income. Ar,ic!es
to over the value of one hundred and
fifty thousand doilLrs have been distribu-
ted by the Western Sanitary Commission
in the last ten months.

streets. When was az the Presbyteria
Synod, preached to large congregation
of slaves it was the largest congregation
ever spoke to in my life. With one ex-
ception, that of the minister who sat beside
me, they were all slaves, yet one-third of
them were whittier than | am SO that sla-
very is not confined to color, because you
often see red haired and plue-eyed slaves.
Another question is, will they come North?
l would reply to this, that if Freedom is
proclaimed South, they will not come
North, because they love freedom, but they
hate labor. They would prefer to 60 South.

glad to see it let them have that beautiful
territory of Pon,e dc Leon, SO graphically
alluded to.
We infer, from what MIR. Hoye says,
that he has travelled extensively, ard
mingled with all classes of that strange,
caste divided society. The following ex-
tract is the only alusion he makes 10 per-
sonal outrages:
The only other question l have been
asked is this: Will there be harmony of
feeling between the Southern and Northern
States hereafter | say there viii not, so
long as this Institution OF slavery exists.
But let that institution be eradicated, and
there is no obstacle to harmony. There is
no feeling of resentment between the
Maineites and Mississippians which may
not pass away, and as for the loyal Miss
issippians, they demand the protection of
the Star-Spangled Banner, and have rea-
sons to detest the protection of the Stars
and Bars, as my poor discolored ankles
now testify.
After the Southern gentlemen were thro'
the resolutions adopted, and the meeting
about to adjourn, Horace Greely was OBJ
served and loudly called for. He made a
bIief and forcible speech, and closed by
proposing
That the thanks of this meeting be ten
dered to the Union martyrs and heroes from
the South who have addressed US to night,
with the assurance that their cause is our
cause, and that the arms of the Republic
shall never be grounded until justice is
done for them and upon their enemies
tLoud and long continued applause.
The resolution was enthusiastically ad-
opted, and with three cheers tor the
Presidents Proclamation and the loyal
men of the South, the meeting dispersed.
Every speaker strongly and unequivo-
cally gave his appreciation to the Procla
nation, not as an erpeolient measure mere
ly, but as a great necesslty-absolutely
essential to the preservation of the gov
ernment and the restoration Of the Union.

MEssRs. EVANS AND WATSON: GENTLEMEN
The small size No. Salamander safe which
l purchased from your agent, Mr. Adam r.
Bar, in Lancaster City, on July goth, 1888,
has been subjected to very severe test
which 1t withstood in a most satisfactory
manner. This Safe, containing all my books
together with valuable papers belonging to
myself and some to my neighbors and friends,
and represeting valIe of over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars, $50, ,000) was in my Mill which
was destroyed the night of the 27th of Ju-
", 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unsca:hed. The Safe was on the second Hoor
and fell to the basement of the Mill. and was
subjected for six hours to an Intense heat
among the ruiIs which was greatly increased
by the combustion OF large quantity OF grain
confined within .he brick walls After the
fire the safe opened and the books and
papers taken ont in a state of perfect preser-
vation, the paper not even being discolored.
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
better recommendation of your Safes than
could be expressed in any other words from
me. Yours Respectfully,
