CHRISTIAN COMMISSION.

ChhlSTlAN tCUMMlSSlUN
This benevolent institution is doing a
great and noble WORK. They have laid
their plans deep and wide and thereby af-
ford a full opportunity for Churches to
engage in the noble work Of aiding. Eve
ry church should consider it a duty to
use the christian Sickle and go forth gath
ering the harvest. Let treasures be pour
ed forth as water, let men, means, toils
and prayers be given to this great worl;
and God will bless the reapers, will bless
our country and will bless generation $
yet to come.
The Ladies Of our village are contib.
uting their mite to this importent work,
and We think they will receive their re-
ward in the "God bless them" that every
soldier suffering from disease or wounds
in our hospitals breathes to heaven in
their behalf. Let the Soldiers Aid Soci-
'ety be we'll attended each Week, and thus
by the aid of its members, help in the
work of the Christian Commission.

ATTENTION LADIEs.

ATTENTION LADIES.
There seems TO be great want Of in
terest lately among the lady members o
the Crawford TIP. Aid Society, especially
in Carey, respecting the making Of Sol
,diers clothing. after funds for purchasing
the necessary goods have been furnished
The managers report but two or three
members present at the few last weekly
meetings, and those present were forced
to send the articles necessary to be made
up to those who should have been there
in order to get them ready for sending
away. We need a little more attention
to this business, and can see no good rea
son why it should not be given.
Some Of our mothers, who have son,
in the service, have done mitch, and car
with but little sacrifice continue the goot
work while there are members, whose
families are quite small, some having
their worst half in the army, who car
certainly devote three hours out Of the
week, 10 sewing for our soldiers, if fol
no better purpose than to keep them
selves out Of mischief &
Aid here are most Of OUR girls. (ant
the soldier boys almost worship some o.
them, although we shouldn't tell it,) who
have not devoted FIVE minutes labor IN
behalf of the Aid, during the past two OIL
three moths |! Why girls you must dc
better than this, Or the boys will begin
to think that you will not make as good
housewives yourselves, as those you se11
away some time ago, with those funny
little notes in them This will not do
anu to avoid it you must take hold Of this
in earnest. Let no aspirations for petty
offices, nor in attention to duties with
which you may be interested,uor remarks

however, no hcstiites had occurred, and
the Confederates made no attempt to drive
the negroes away. The various reports ola

towards Stony Greek Stations, on the Well

division of Humphreys, and Greggs cavalry
began southern march, on Wednesday last.
They marched down the Jerusalem road and
crossed the Nottaway River on a pontoon
bridge. They are now cut off from commun-

been heard from for some days. This ad-
advance is directly south. Its object can
not yet be ascertained.
We have some intelligence. from the,She-

this season. He is now a: Winchester in
his old camp. He has about fifteen thousand
men. Three of his Brigades were sent last

They have recently removed the rails from

LEGAL TENDER Notes" NOT "LEGAL
TENDER."-In the U. S. Court, bed in Phila-
delphIa, Judges Grier and Cadwallader, an
opinion was delivered, on Tnurday, in case
Of the Philadelphia and Reading r. r. Coy
against Chsrlas Mouison, ct. a., which came
before the Court in shape of a bill in edu,ty
to compel the defendants to accept in extin
guiShnent Of the principal of certain ground
rents, to the amount Of 100000, the legal
tender notes OF the United States The case
was Argued few days ago, and the opinion
by Judge Grer is that greenbacks cannot be
made legal tender that coin alone can be
made such. This IS a very important decis-

We are only able to glance at few points in
this importont state paper. Our want of
classical knowledge prevents an appreciation
by US, of altits beauties.
In adverting to our foreign relations, the
President congralulates himself and the ma
tion, that we are oB the most peaceful footing
with Casta Rica, Nicaraugua, Hay,i, Liberia,
and all the rest of the niger and half n,eger
kingdoms. pripclpalities, and republics of the
world. England, France, Russia, and other
European nations, made up as they are, of

With China, Egypt, and the Barbary states,
too, "the most amicable relations exist
Official correspondence with Liberia has given
the President 'peasing view of social and
political progress in that Republic" There
is only one little dark spot to mar the beauty
of the prospect. Sumo of the igerdn "Afrr-
can gentleman" of "African DESCENT" make
occasional raids upon the american gentle
men and women of the same descent and car
ry them off to feast upon their fat carcasses,
or sell them into slavery. Our humane
