inform you that cannot be present at your meeting
on Wednesday evening. | especially regret this as

consider 1t proper the audience also that [ deeply
regret my inability to meet them
The cause is one in which feel a deep and abiding
interest. In the Providence of God by the removal
OF slavery from our land, nearly four millions have
been added to our free population These are neces
sarlly uneducated, and many of them are dcpraved.
The Christian and the phanthr opist alike INQUIRE
what can be done to improve their condition. And it
seems to me that however men may-dffer in other
measures, nearly all will agree that we should aid
them IN procuring homes for their families and aD-
proprlate spheres for labor and such education both
IN arts and IN letters will prepare them to be use
tul to society Duty to ourselves as well aS duty to
them, lmperatlvely demands this if we would have
purity and prosperity among us: and rejoice that in
many parts of the South Christian men and women
are ready to work in this cause.
In Maryland you have taken the lead, and so far a
| know, Baltimore has done more for the colorcd
people in this way than any other city in ,hicb
slavery recently existed. You have great field be-
fore you. Many will misunderstood you-somc will

that your labor tends to universal peace and good or
der The accounts which l received at the recent
Conference in Washington of the schools established

in distant neghborhoodS, to me very gratifying
pray that God may bless your abors and.that Won

mites for good education shall be within the reach
Of every mind which God has made

THE FENIAN BONDS.

The Fenian Brotherhood have long had under con-
sideraton the matter of issuing bonds in aid of the
ganized people at home but did not adopt the meas
ure, however. until the home affairs called for it and
the material resources at command seemed to justify
the appeal to those who favored the principle at
stake. About two months ago the policy was finally
decided upon by the governing council, who entrusted
all negotiation to their President, Col. W. r. Rob
erts wholesale merchant of this city who sustains
IN business circles the reputato of being able and
responsible financier and business man. Before
entering upon the work the best legal advice in the
country was had, and course laid which enables
the parties concerned to keep inside all provisions of
national and International codes and comities. An
exposition OF tenlan power satisfied the National
Bank Note Company that all was in good faith and
on fair way to success hence they at once assumed
the responsibility of being the medium through

The Post Office Department.

We are informed that on the summing up of
the Post Office Department for the fiscal year
ending June. 80, 1865, the excess of receipts
over expenditures is found to be more than
S850,000. This is the first time in the history
OF that department that so favorable finan-
cial exhibit has been made, and though a Dor
ton of this :retrennchment is due to the in
creased number OF letters written and sent to
and from the armies in the field. a consider
able share of the credit is due to the economi-
cal and business like manner in which the af-
fairs of the Post Office Department have late
ly been conducted, and to the efficiency of the
ofhcers who nc, have been engaged in the mail
service. There is good reason to believe that,
after civil government is fully established in
the Southern States, and that country is occu-
pied by enterprising men from the North,
the mail service of the whole country will be
made self-sustaining. Under the system in
augurated by the present Postmaster General
such result is almost certain, yashing.og

catches ship Louisiana and bark Gratitude of this

The Shenandoah had not been heard from since
June -, on which day she has previously been re-
ported as steering to the southwark and it is presumed
that we shall hear of no further depredatons Wad-
dell was informed on June S that the war was closed
and several captains showed him newspapers con
tanning the particulars of Lees surrender but he af-
fected not to believe it: but it would appear that
nights reflection caused him to dcsist from his in
tentlon of destroying the whole Whaling fleet and
seek an asylum and place of sale for his shin in
some friendly British port, and he will Irob-
ably be heard of next at Melbourne, where our
neutral friends will make mock purchase of her
as though she had not belonged to them ever since
she was launched: Some contend that she went to
the Ochotsk Sea; but if she had continued the work
OF destruction there the crews of captured vessels
would before this have been heard from in some
friendly port.
The fires in the Arctic Ocean on the 2gth of
June were probably the burning hulks committed to
the flames the day before. and which might have
drited so far as to the suppoSion that other
vessels had been captured.

New YORK, October 26.-This morning in
the United States Court, before Judge Nelson.
Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, United States Dis
tnct Attorney, moved the Court that Henry
5. toote, an ex-member of the defunct rebel
Congress, be admitted to the bar as a coun-
sellor III the Supreme Court of the United
States. The motion being granted, Mr.. Foote
stepped up to the clerks desk to take the
oath. The first oath, to support the Constitu-
ton of the United States and the State of
New York, he took without hinching, but the
oath of allegiance was too much for him.
Alter listening attentively to its stringent re-
quirements he declared that his connection
with the late rebel Government rendered it
impossible that he should subscribe to such an
oath, and he left the court unsworu.

Now that slavery is abolished, labor is made
more honorable and more necessary. Young
men must become tradesmen, manufacturers,
and citizen mechanics, and Northern friends
are invited to come, but Immediately provi-
sion must be made for the protection and
government of the freedmen. This is ex-
pected by the President and Congress, and it
will remove all pretext for military rule.
The election of Electors for President and
Vice President of the United States should be
given to the people, and an early day be fixed
for the election of members of Congress
Should those elected be at Washington with
their credentials when the Clerk calls the roll
they cannot be excluded any more than those
from Massachusetts. No man in South Caro-

setting them to pay the State debt so as to

The reorganization of the militia is also
urged; the Secretary of State at Washington
