Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.

PETERSBURG, February IA, 1866
It was my expectation that the Young Mems
Christian Association, with the uses to be
accomplished, would furnish interesting sub
iects, from time to time, for the pen of your
correspondent. The association was organized
about six months ago under apparently very
favorable auspices. For time the member
ship rapidly increased, several enthusiastic
meetings were held, q constitution adopted
and published In pamphlet form, and impor-
tant subjects discussed. A wide field OF USE
fulness appeared to lie before it. Four months
ago distinguished and most estimable clergy
man OF this city was appointed to deliver an
address at the ensuing monthly meeting, and
committees were charged with the considera
tion Of important measures. But the address
has not yet been delivered, nor the measures
reported upon nor, IN fact, has there been a
meeting. The weather, indeed, happened to
be wet, and 1t is feared that the fine spirit
which prevailed at the organization Of the
society has been thoroughly chilled. For two
or three months the regular meetings were
announced from the pulpits, and advertised
In the papers, but all to no effect.
L., then, the association defunct, and is its
epitaph to be written after so brief an exist
encef What malign influences prevailed to
bring ABOUT dissolution 80 prematurei
BY some fatality, no organization Of the
kind has ever flourished in this city. Some
ten or twelve years ago vigorous effort was
made, but II did not succeed The projectors
disagreed on some points which an outsider
might well have regarded az not fundamental.
A party spirit was engendered, and charity
the cornerstone Of all Christian enterprise
was banished
But the present era seemed to be the most
propitious that could have occurred. The
country had Just emerged from sanguinary
war. and there were thousands Of pitiabie
objects TO claim the interest Of the charitable
and humane. The several Christian denomi
nations were living In relations Of unusual
harmony with each other. It was emphati-
cally m era Of good feeling. What may have
been the secret causes OF the failure Of such q
worthy NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. love Of the
world on the one hand, or spirit of too great
exclusiveness on the other-the fact is patent
enough that the Young Mems Christian
Association ia Petersburg IL little more than q
myth. But let us not ignore the good 1t
achieved ct an early period Of its life. The
soup house had its origin in its efforts to pro-
vide for the poor, and 1t II yet sustained by
liberal subscriptions on the part Of the mer-
chants. The establishment OF night schools
was part Of the original programme, and the
relief. Of the destitute was another; but
nothing Of systematic character in regard to
either has been perfected. Let N hope, how
ever, after al. that the association ID not Dead
but sisspsth, and that 1t win yet wake TO q
vigorous life.
