The Union Prayer Meetings

If Washington were put to the same ransom
as SOdom Of old, there would bC no difficulty,
perhaps in finding ten, or even ten times ten
- righteous persons " within its limits. And
yet, though less corrupt aud wicked than the
Cities Of the Plain, the burden of sin lying at
its door is not 30 light that its people should
expect to be exempt from plenary punishment,
without frequent earnest and humble prayer.
The small attendance at the Union Prayer
Meetings does not argue well for the plety of
the population Of the Federal capital. Why,
we ask, do not men high in office attend these
meeting Why is not the lecture room crowded
with clerks in the dcpartmeuts-profeSsors of
Christianity at home, but here following too
closely the pleasures Of the world
These meetings arc conducted by faithful
servants of the Almighty, whose applications
to the Throne of Grace are fervld and eloquent,
and surely never did our beloved land stand
more in need of appeals to the compassion and
mercy of Divine Providence than at the pres
emt crisis. Before the anniversary 1t was sell
dom that more than two or three persons bent
the knee together at one time at these meetings
The Rev. Mr.. Butler and DR.. Gurlcy, with
other Clcrgymen, do their utmost to awaken
the right spirit in the hearts of our citizens,
but VIC arc sorry to say their efforts are not
crowned with the general success they deserve.
still We cannot but believe that the Union
prayer meeting arc doing more good than ap-
peora upon the surface, and that those who
have derived spiritual consolation from the ex-
ergiscs will he the means of inducing many,
heretofore mcglcctlul of their religious duties,
to humble themselves before the Benedcent
Parent, whose car is ever open to the pleadlngs
Of His repentant children. j. l.. D.

The Expedition from Newoern 10 RsIIev,
General Foster,

The New York Herald contains a letter from
Nowbcrn describing the expedition from Fort
Anderson to communicate with Gen Fosters
command at Washington, and the failure of the
attempt, which vas owing to bridge upon II
creek bcngcut away, beyond which the enemy
were strongly entrenched. The account closes
with the following
Finding the contest so unequal, and the pos
5ibility of our crossing so very slim, General
Spinoa ordered his command to fall back to
New Hope, and our forces moved away in as
much order as though they were on dress
parade. The artillery, however, as a parting
salute, sent a few shells into the mill and lum-
ber piles, and when we left they were in a fine
blaze.
The following is list of casuatir, on our
sid" which is very light indeed, cunaijrring the
circumstances;
Capt. Belger, let Il. ]. art, wounded in thigh
and horse killed.
Lieut.. S. &. Roberts, company G, nth Mass,

After the engagement our forces moved back
to New Hope, where We campud tor the night,
and yesterday we came into SCwhcrn. | shall
have something to say in regard to this cxpc-
ditiOn and the conduct ui the entire campaign
in my next letter; but hcrclct me say that who
ever may blame Gen. Spimoa or any officer OF
his command for the failure to relieve Wash
ington, knows nothing Ul The Ci cumstances OF
the case. Criticism, however, would be out OF
place, just now, 10 1t would be giving aid and
no small degree OfCOmfOrt to the enemy. When
the secret history Of this war shall be written,
and the faults be- uscribed, and shown, aud
proven upon those who are the really Culpablc
ones, 1t will but Illustrate in the mass what this
campaign shows inhnitesimal-and 1t will be-
written.

IMPORTANT FACTs.-Tho steamer North
American arrived in this port last Saturday
evening from Liverpool, bring seventeen Amer
lean captains of merchantmen. Eleven of
these captains sold their ships abroad, on aC-
count Of the immense war risks, and no de-
mand for freights Under the hazard of ship
ments In American bottoms; four of these cap
tains had their ships captured and burnt by tho
Confederate cruiser, Alabama; two rGmainging
captains lost their ships at sea.
We learn from these gentlemen that the
Alabama is constantly under sail, and not un-
der steam, except when under a chasei that
she has four boilers, two which areof kept con-
stantly ready for steam, and which are equal
to driving her II knots per hour; that she
never has raised only this half of her steam
power for speed, and no vessel in the American
service can match her for speed, except It be
the Vanderbilt Portland advertiser.
