CURE, and r b. Mohun, are daily In receipt Of
letters from the poor, starving people Of tho
South, acknowledging their gratitude to the gen.
erous contributors Of Washington for assistance
iendered them toward alleviating, In a measure
their great destitution-the most agoniring Of ali
deaths-dying ofhHnga. During the last seven
years the South has had her cup full Of sorrow 10
the brim--war, fire, epidemics, riots, and Raunt
famine the whole section, from the Gulf
OF Mexico to the silvery Potomac once a land
flowing with milk and honey" and every
homestead q hospitable house Of Entertainment

waste and desclate, and nearly every homestead
10 ono OF sorrow aud mourning, and the wolLn
In the gaunt ghost Of starvation, stands staring
In At nearly every door.

Rev. Father Gregnon, as being q fair specimen
daily received In this city:
i NlrcHE1, Mss, May Is, 1867.

eyes, and a feeling Of gratitude which cannot
express, that I acknowledge tho receipt Of two
hundred dollars $4,000 from the merchants Of
your city, to be distributed to the needy accord.
ing to my best judgment.
My task and difficulty Is now to judge who
| among the many In need arc more needy than
others, and, therefore, more entitled to share
In your charity. shall try to do my best In
| tne chte-oOnsult ana act accordingly.
The object Of your noble charity being to raise
funds for the destitute Of tho South, would
| avail myself Of this opportunity TO express to
you, gentlemen, the very many urgent claims
which am daily grisved to witness. The public
reports occasionally read In newspapers In refer.
once to want and suffering in the South are not
exnggsrated-muoh more could DO said.
The long trials and miseries OF the war, the
destroying worm Of last year, the late overflow Of
the Mississippi river have caused such desolation
and distress over the land that even persons who
formerly were In comfortable circumstances are
actually in worse condition than those commonly
called the poor working class.
In the name OF the receivers, I return many
thanks 70 you, gentlemen, and to all the contrib.
utors Of Washington city.
Very respectfully, NJ. F. GREaSoS,
