THE SANITARY LEcrURE.-About 200 people
assembled at the Theater on Sunday evening to
listen to the address of Rev. Robert Kellen. The
speaker listened to attentively for nearly
two hours and his description of the stirring
scenes through which he passed from the
time of the firing upon Sumter to the great bat
ties of the Wilderness, was of the most thrilling
and interesting nature He pointed out the great
and noble work which TIE Sanitary Commission
had done during that time, and showed how thou
sands of noble lives had been savedby its prompt
ministerings. His talk had salutary effect up
on all, and we hope to see the good work carried
on with q will by our people.
Soldiers Aid Society was organized, but up
to the time of going to press we have not been
furnished with list of officers chosen.

Reading the Bible in Schools.


DEAR SIR: wish to say few words in
reply to letter in your last issue, from the
Rev. S. Danielou, wherein, after relating
that an Irish girl had been expelled from the
school in our district for non-comformity with
a request to participate in reading exercise
from the protestant version of the bible, he
denounces the act " if not unjust and unchris-
tan as arbitrary" Now if in all history of
the church of which the Reverend is the ex
ponent, one c,,n point to single act of un-
forced federation, then would the force and
point of the above denunciation be conced-
ed but grant, ng the catholics entitled to the
largest liberation, and which they now re-
ceive in this country, the facts in this partlc-
ular case seem to be radically misapprehend-
ed. The girl, instead of having been expell
ed for refusing to read from the protestant
bible sas aUoued to use the catholic rerSion.
thus divesting the ex ercise of all sectarian
feature and entirely removing all objection
a reasonable mind could raise. Therefore
instead of invoking the law to harrass the
workings CT an institution whose benefits de-
volve alike on catholic and protestant, it were
in much better taste, to say the least, for oul
catholic fellow citizens to quietly and CRATE
fully avail themselves Of liberty they in NJ
other country enjoy. W. NJ.

We are unreasonable, dissatisfied mortals
We are always too cold or too hot-too wet
or too dry-seldom satisfied with the wealth
err, or our own lot in life. We are reminded
OF this our common failing by the universal
complaint that comes from nearly every quar-
ter of the prolonged drouth. While it is
severe in our county we are more highly ia
vored than our neighbors down the Con-
necticut river, who are literally parched by
the scorching sun Of the few weeks past and
not even shower to cool the sitting atmos-
phere or lay the dust. Vegetation has suf-
fered much and will suffer great deal more
unless rain comes soon. The hay crop, which
promised so abundant in the spring, will not
be equal to last years yield by considerable.
The late frost cut down the corn and pota-
toes more or less, and on the whole the pros
pect of an abundant harvest is not cheering.
Still We have the promi Sc of seed time and
harvest and the present year will not prove
an exception. Be hopeful.

'It never rains but it pours," and the be-
leaguered citizens of Richmond, according to
the Wing, must have realized the truth of
this old proverb last Saturday, and blessed
their stars that it proved veracious for once.
They have long had a reign of Want-a very
disagreeable reign, to be sure, and one not
entirely calculated to promote physical de-
velopment or mental quiet. The absence of
something to eat" is generally keenly felt by
those who are so unfortunate, in such a case,
as to possess an appetite. Precisely in such a
predicament have been the Richmond people
for sundry months past, at least since the
Weldon Railroad was occupied by General
GRANT. Provisions have turned up scarce.
Potatoes were rare-turnips were rarer-and
butter, "hog and hominy" were rarest-the
last two articles being especially the iavorite
dishes of the chivalry.
But last Saturday, Ceres, or some other
classic goddess-the Richmond editors are so
fond Of Roman and Grecian mythology
poured upon them such shower from her
cornucopGia, Of corn, wheat, rye, oats, and
barley, that they held a perfect jubilee, and
"prices were reduced" The Wing goes into
ecstasles Of delight over the prospect OF a good
dinner at cheap rates. "Corn meal it says,
"went of freely at $40 per bushel; dressed
turkeys sold at S15 apiece; and chickens, with
the feathers on, brought $40 pair; pullets
full size sold at S5 and SO each; and eggs
were only 81 per Dozen"
Truly moderate prices for moderate people
and moderate means. We are not surprised
when these prices are considered, that JEFF
! DAVIS never issues a Thanksgiving procama'
ton, but, on the contrary, advises his subjects
! to patronize "lasts." The frequency with
which he urges self-abnegation upon the Con
lederacy in the matter Of "eating' has offer
astonished the North as well as the South
But the secret may be found in the scarcity o
supplies, and the extraordinary high price!
demanded Tor turkeys, chickens, pullets, anC
eggs, all indispensable on a Thanksgiving
occasion.

Next to General Bousseaus establishment OF

affair was the first determined step taken by t1C
Unonists of Kentucky TO keep the State In tue
Union. Shortly afterwards it was followed by
ROusseau's occupation Of the city with his bri-
gadc, and the conclusion of the farce Of Kentucky
neutrality. Since this period Judge Spec has
been engaged in aiding the cause Of the Govern

Lincoln is much indebted for the support which

ouR NEW CHIEF JUSTICE.

The appointment Of the Honorable SALMON
PORTLAND CHASE to the highest judicial posi-
ton OF our land has given universal satisfaction.
The claims which Mr. CHASE had to the
position we presented at large, in our editorial
on the "Chicf JusticcshipD a few days ago.
BY the Union party he has been held as
leader, if not the head OF the organization
which achieved so grand victory at the polls
For that triumph the country is indebted IN no
small degree to the distinguished ex-Sec-
retary Of the Treasury. His comprehensive
mind will now have a vast field for develop
ment; his love of freedom will enable him to
decide like a Christian American, the cases
that may come before him for adjudication,
His fine legal attainments assure the whole
nation that the pride they have always felt in
MARsHALL's erudition and in TANEY's wis.
dom, will not be lessened in the new appoint
ment and that his devotion to freedom will place
him foremost on the roll of our Chief Justices.
We congratulate the loyal North upon the
apI ointment. 1t is fitting, it is proper, and is
only what might have been expected from the
previous actions OF Mr.. LINCOLN.
