1t is amusing to see the impunity with
which the numerous sympathizers with
rebellion in this metropolis ven
titate their sentiments privately and pub
licly. Here under the very eyes and in
the very presence of the Administrative
Powers, there is cool style of treason
able speech INDUCED in, which if prac-
| ticed in Alexandria or Baltimore, would
consign the audacious utterer or writer. to
the four walls of a prison. What makes
il still more remarkable is, that many OF
these advocates of Rebellion are actually
acquiring wealth from the Government
they delight to dishOnr in the enjoyment
of contracts and other pecuniary fayors,
which, strange 10 say, are bestowed
upon them as though disloyalty COM

sT. ANDR Eyv's SABBATH SCHOOL An
NIVERSARY.

Lasts Sunday was happy day for the children
Of st. Andrews Sabbath Schools. II was their
anniversary, their Offering day-when each
class yies with the other in tho extent Of is con-
tribution aud the perfection and beauty of the
designs which accompany the Offerings. 1t is
one of the most pleasant scenes that can be he
held-that Of witnessing hundreds OF smiling,
joyful, youthful faces, all assembled in one mass,
in the church, to give their tribute to the calse
OF religion and the success of missionary effort.
But the manner in which this was done on last
Sunday was peculiarly gratifying to the behold
er. Not only did the dear children Remember
their Creator in the days of tLeir youth" in the
fllness of their gifts and the feryor of the mot
toes that accompanied them, but also in their
expressions of love for and attachment to the
Union, in the perpetuty Of which lie nil their
future hopes, AMI with which nll their destinies
are interviewer Many of their designs were Of
y national character, and the aspirations which
accompanied them were those of instructive pa
triotism. God bless those dear little children

it is six miles TO Richmond BY climbing
lofty trees We can see the spires of the
city and in the still evening, we can hear
tile bells ring. And on Sunday last their
bands rcgaled rs with several familiar
airs, among which was "Yankec doodle. !"
Yesterday, our men went out to throw
mp intrenchmenis. While they were at
work, Gen. Mcclellan rode along. the
men began cheering Justify, This / sup
pose attracted the enemy's pickets, and
one of them had the tcmerity to climb Il

Our pickets are so near to the enemy
that they hear them cough and sneeze,
and it is no uncommon occurrence TO see
the grey backs as the secesh are "a

Our men are very poorly sheltered from
the sun and rain. The only tents they
have are the Freret shelter tents, which
every man carries upon his back on the
march. They do not turn the rain and
the broilmg rays of the sun pierce right
through them. Yet for all this our men
are generally in good health and spirits.
