The departed patriot entered upon his new field
of duty with an unwayering confidence in the JUS
tee of his cause and its final triumphant issue, and
his confidence accompanied him during all the trials
to which he was exposed, inaugurated the policy
he felt called on to adopt And, as in the progress
of events he became better. understood by the
course of his administration he became better ap-
preciated by his cOuntrymen.
Though difference of opinion as TO the measures
TO be adopted were inseparable from such con-
test, involving many issues Of veal and of woe,
still his noble qualities inspired general confidence
and commanded general respect, and his successful
administration will be evidence, in all time to
come, of his worth and of the wisdom of his meas

The Sour House, under the control of the
United States Christian Commission is dispensing
very excellent article of soup to the poor of Rich
mond, free of all charge. Previous to the eyacua-
ton, when the house was under the control of the
Richmond Soup Association tickets, emitting the
holder to quart, were sold by the package at
twenty five cents apiece in Confederate currency.
This charge was made TO assist the Association in
meeting expenses, which then we're quite heavy in
view of the scarcity and high price of every ingre
dent entering into the composition Of soup. The
(Christian Commission, with the countenance Of the
military authorities, are enabled to offer much
superior artcle-a free gift to the poor-and all
who will apply for it. None but the very best ma
terials are used in the making OF the soup, the
principal ingredients of WHICH are beef, potatoes
turnips, cabbage onions, parsley, asparagus, &c.
No better soup is served upon the dining tables of
any Of the hotels. @
The capacity of the boilers of the soup house are
equal to several hundred gallons per diem, and the
Commission, conscious of being engaged in a noble
work of charity invite all in need to apply, and be
served. Mr.. Irving, the late agent, superintends
the distribution at the house, which is under Me-
tropotan Hall.

Of a neghbor who was visiting him, and the SER

damage was done. A delay of even one more

fifty thousand dollars by the citizens of Phadel-
phia as a present to our Lieutenant General, was
opened on Saturday for inspection and in the course
of the day was visited by large number Of ladies'
aud gentlemen. The mansion is twenty-five feet
front one hundred and five feet deep, and four sto-
ries in height The front is of sandstone and has
a balcony under the first story windows. In the in
terror the arrangements combine elegance and con-
venence. There is a spacious hall, and a hand
some staircase ascending from il 10 the fourth StO
nv, lighted by a window the roof. There is also
private staircase leading 20 the dining room and
kitchen.
Back of the chambers on the second and third
floors are bath rooms which elegantly fitted up.
The parlOr, about seventeen by forty feet is sQ-
perbiy furnished, the carpets being Of velvet, the
furniture of walnut and the curtains Of the richest
lace The piano and all the articles of furniture in
the room are in the highest style of mechanical art
Vases Of an antique pattern decorate the richly
carved marble mantel, and an elegant clock, sur

the second floor back, is also richly furnished. In
the third story chambers the floors are covered

superior kind. All portions of the house are fur
nished in the mos. complete manner, and when the
family of the General takes possession Of it, which
they are expected to. do to-day, they will find in
the pantry SEINE of the substantials of life, and
coal in the cellar with which to do the cooking.
