THE WOOD pROCEssIoN.

Saturday, we remind those interested
and our readers generally, is the day ap-
pointed for the wood procession from the
country. There lis great need Of wood
amongst the destitute families 10 our city,
and there is abundant ability on the part
OF the farmers and wood haulers Of the
vicinity TO supply that need. For months
past there has been an average of some
seventy-tiye loads of wold per day
brought into town and sold at unprece-
dented high prices. And those who have
had the good fortune to enjoy the bene-
fits Of these high prices should be glad
to avail themselves Of the opportunity to
supply the destitute from their own abun-
dance.

Mr.. LINCOLN IN EUROPE. The Paris
correspondent of the New York Times
writes
''rhe popularity of Mr.. Lincoln has
been as much advanced abroad by his
late acts as in the United States His
maintenance of the act of emancipation in
his annual message has given immense
satisfaction to all those not preludiced by
special reasons for the rebellion, and his
sagacity, straighttorwardness and honesty,

view the merit of Mr.. Lincoln is, in effect,
immense; but in republic it is the peo-

The News.

The news from Virginia leaves us still
looking more anxiously for the result.
We consider it is now come TO the final
engagement their great battles heretofore
have had no result but the destruction of
human lives. If Grant, as is reported,
has made a junction with Butler, and
both armies are able to take Fort Darling
they would then be able to occupy the
railroads leading from the south of the
rebel capital, by the taking of Petersburg
Then the capture of Richmond with the
garrison defending it, would be only a
question of time, to be reckOned by days
These things have not yet happened and
may not happen. "Iftlta cad,Ht inter
cahcen, s4prenaaq'te MJra," there is many
a slip between the cup and the lip, as the
ancient poet said. 1t is for us to wait
and watch and watch and pray. 1t is
said that Lees army left almost as soon
as Grants, as if prepared for this move
ment. The accounts from our western
army are various and conflicting, and
don't indicate much success. John Nor
gan made raid into kentucky and did
a good deal of mischief in the destruction
of railroads and railroad property. but
was check mated by the volunteers raised
in Ohio and Indiana. These volunteers
were raised in these States for one hundred
days, and seem to have been very much
required at the time they made their ap-
pearance in Kentucky Had it not been
for their timely interference, Morgan might
have overun the greater part of Kentucky,
they however routed him, scattering his
forces and demoralizing his army.
Whether he will be able to gather them
up again it is hard to tell, but one thing is
certain they have great recuperatiye pow
ers This is synopsis of the news as
we have it now, and may be relied on as
verify, as we never write sensation articles
either for or against ourselves. Sbould

Purity of the Administration.

Our readers Will see from the following
item, how pure and immaculate this Re
publican Administration is. They have
employed female clerks in the Treasury De-
partment, as a matter of economy, be-
cause as a general thing females don't get
as high wages as males, and the members
of Congress are accommodating enough
and so patriotic that they take them in
carriage to their work every morning and
generally so for them in the evening.
They would rather take this trouble upon
themselves than that the government
should be at the expenses of paying male
clerks We owe them a debt of graft
tude.
FEMALE TREASURY CLERKS. The in
famous revelations of the interior of the
Treasury Department must bring red
hot blush to the face of every American
who is not dead to shame. There seems
to be little doubt from all accounts, that
the man placed there by Secretary Chase
as Superintendent of the note-printing,
turned his bureau into brothel, appoint
ing to places women Of loose morals, and
treating them as Butler was supposed to
have threatened the women of New Or
leans should be treated. 1t is stated, too,
that members of Congress, not content
with keeping mistresses at the seat OF
government, obtained situations that they
might be paid from the National Treasury.
1t is well remarked that this is depth OF
infamy that the whole world cannot beat.
The very walls of the dens of beastly Ii
cenciousness in Paris, will blush at this
depravity of human nature when they
hear the tale.
Employment for women" is phrase
often in the mouths of reforming philan-
thropists. These would be benefactors OF

TIE L. $ Two HUNDRED MILLION
FIVE PER CENT LoAN-This loan is lin
tied to two hundred millions and is rapid
ly subscribed for by the people A mod
crate portion of this amount has been
taken for Europe, and any reasonable por-
ton Of the residue, that the Secretary of
the Treasury would be willing to designate
could be placed on the other side on highly
advantageous terms. His preference is
that our own people should have the en-
tire advantage of the gold interest which
they bear, or else the the premium of the
bonds, such as can now be had on the
5-20's, when bought for Europe His
object is therefore popular distribution at

of re-borrowing at three or four per cent

cent. and doubtless will be able to do so
again. On the whole it is safe invest
