The following is letter OF Joseph N. Petrsol,
Democratic candidate for City Treasurer to
member of the U. S. Senate:-
PHILADELPHIA, June %, 1862
Sir:-I take the liberty of addressing you
United States Navy Y ard at League Island. 1
have been informed, and L believe, League
Island has been wholly reclaimed from the
river Delaware, and is only prevented from
overflow by large banks of stone and earth. 1t
is surrounded, except upon one side, by marsh,
and for this cause as well as from insslubrity,
1t has been unimproved and unoccupied, except
as pasture land, at a moderate rent, since its
reclamation. The fast land is from six to eight
feet below high-water mark at all points, and
would cost over a million dollars TO level and
tit for use as much as will be required for the
large purposes proJeoCed.
II the object is to erect foundries, the spongy
natsre OF the soil would make 1t Impossible to

depth be dug for large castings; 1t could not

tant from the Island, where they would con-
tinue, as Government work is not sufficiently
regular or remunerative to induce permanent
removal. The Island is at least five miles from
the supply stores of the city. The approaches
are as low as the Island itself, and unfit for
building purposes, and far distant from
hydrants, gas, Improved streets, police and rail
The place has only to be visited and seen to de-
nlonStTote its uflftlleSS, and L would humbly
suggest visit by committee of Congress for
the purpose, before SO great an outlay Is in
Cured or promised, where performance is inn
possible. There are minor objections, which 1
will not urge. l am as earnest as any Phila-
delphian in the desire of the location of first.
class yard, but 1t is my duty tmpelled by the
same feelings which you have to state to you,
public man, 1t will cost at least tour million
uOLLarS to fit League Island for the least eth-
you add foundries, ETC., that will be an addi-
tional expense, which will not undertake to
estimate.
The present gard mag be eDte7eded for about t,0o
hundred and ffty thousand dollars, and prOUide
all the ground necessary nOW and hereafter IOib
out disturbance delay. / am ready to give fur
ther information. Being personally unknown
to you, refer you to any of the Philadelphia
delegation of the House to be assured who am.
With high respect,

Mrs. HARLowE MATHEn-My Dear Madam: l
shall be too glad if anything can say will aid the
society in its noble work. large proportion OF
the people of the South have suffered and many
arc still suffering almost the limit of endurance
from the devastation of war and subsequent failure
of crops. They are making every possible e1er-
ton to revive their..various branches of industry
and become sclf-sGrporsins. The liberal assist
ancc which the Northern people are we'll able to
give will relieve great amount of Distress and
will no doubt be sufficient TO place the poor of the
South beyond further suffering for food. The re-
cent manifestations of an almost universal desire
throughout the South for q really fraternal re-
lnior with the North, may well serve to stimulate
the generous sympathies of the Northern people,
while nothing could do more to foster and encour-
age the growth of a healthy sentiment in the South
than the generous aid which it is the mission Of
your society to invoke. sincerely hope the noble
efforts Of the society may result in the most abun-
dant success 1 AM, dear Madam, very respectful
", your obcdicnt servant. j. NJ. SCHOFIELD,
Major General
