PETERSBURG LETTER.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
Growing Activity in the Cause Of Sunday
Schools In all the Observation-Disclosures
Sunday School Union-Bishop Doggett--In-
stalIatioa Of Councilmen- Express. i.
PETERSBURG, April 20, 1856

PETERSBURG, April 20, 1868.
In nothing, perhaps, is the moral tendency
of the age more conspicuous than in the
energy with which the Sunday school cause
is sustained. Every Christian denomina-
tion is using its utmost exertions in bringing
the children generally under the influence Of
healthy and purifying course of instruc-
ton, until now there is no reason why every
child within the limits of our city should fail
to profit by the benefits SO freely offered.
Lately we have had very interesting evil
dence of devotion to the cause in the meet
ing of the Baptist Sunday School Associa-
ton. The Episcopalians are extending
their missions, and are even unable to md
accommodations for the number Of pupils
seeking admission. Nor are the Pres
byterians lukewarm in the good work.
But none of these exceed, If indeed they
equal the Methodists. Their organization
is as perfect as it we'll can be; and at the
monthly union Of the several schools the
exercises are of a kind deeply interesting
to pupils of so tender an age. One of these
meetings occurred yesterday, when six Of
the schools, with their teachers, met at the
Washington street church. 1t was indeed
a most encouraging and animating specta-
Gle. Bishop Doggett was present to address
them, which he did in serious and i'm
pressive manner, while Mr.. r. NJ. Smith en-
tertained them with refreshing and instruc-
tive anecdotes. Singing and recitations
formed part of the exercises. Not to
burden your columns with too large an ar
ray Of figures, it will be sufficient to give
the following summary Of operations for the
last month:
Washington-stre School.--Total organi-
zation, 327; average attendance, 25S.
MGrEet-Street.---T organization, 248 /;
average attendance, 20S. Z
High-street.---Tota organization, ZIG !;
average attendance, 156.
Blan9ford Chapel.---Total organization,
70; average attendance, IS.
Ettrick'S.---Total organization, al ave-
rage attendance, 90.
Battrsea.---Total organization, 70 ave-
rage attendance, so. SIS
Wesley Chapel made no returns.
Bishop Dogget preached twice yesterday
tmorning and night to very large congre-
cations. Besides the eminent position he
occupies in the Church, his long residence
here in former years cndeared him to his
people and to the members Of other religious
bodies.
1t is understood that the newly appointed
members of the City Council will be INSTALL
ed tomorrow Tuesday afternoon.
The purchaser Of the Express, in default
OF complying with the terms of sale, is un-
ger the necessity Of relinquishing his claim

Your FIRST SwEETHEART.--You can
never forget her. She was so very young
and innocent and pretty. She had such o
way of looking at you over her hymn-book
in church. She alone, Of all the world, did
not think you a boy at eighteenth, but Won
dered at your size, and, your. learning, and
your faint foreshadowing of sandy NOUS
tache, and believed you every inch o man.
When at those stupid evening parties, where
boys who should have been in the nursery,
and girls who should have eaten suppers Of
bread and milk, and gone to sleep hours
before, waltzed and iirted, and made them
selves i'll over oyesters and champagne, you
were favored by glance of her eye or a
whisper from her lip, you assembled to the
seventh heaven Immediately. When once
upon certain memorable eve she polkaed
with the druggists clerk, and never looked
at you, how miserable you were. 1t is
funny to think Of it now, but it was not
funny then, for you were awfully in earnest.
Once ut picnic she wore q white dress,
and had roses twined in her black hair; and
she looked so like bride that you fairly
trembled. Some time you thought in just
such snowy costume, with just such blossoms
in her hair, she might stand beside the altar,
and you, most blessed Of all mortals, might
place golden ring upon her finger; and
when you were left alone with her for o mo-
ment, some Of your thoughts would form
themselves into words, and though she
tblushed and ran away, and would not Lefty
kiss her, she did not seem angry. And then
you were parted, somehow, for a little while,
and when you met again she was walking
with gentleman large, well-whiskered
man Of twenty -eight or thirty, and had
neither word OF. smile for you. And some
Well-meaning gossip informed you shortly
after that she was engaged to the tall gentle
man'with black whiskers, and that it was g o
splendid match rs. 9s
1t was terrible news to you then, and sent
you off to some greatcity, far from your ma
tive place, where, aftera great deal Of youth
full grief, and many resolutions to die and
haunt her, you recovered your equanimity
and began to make money and to call love
stuff and nonsense. You have arich wife
of your own now, and grown-up children
aye, even two or three todding grandchil
dren about your hearth !. your hair is grey,
and you lock your heart up in the fre-proof
safe Of your counting house when you 60,
home at night. And you thought that you
mad forgotten the little episode Of your
nineteenth year, unit the other day; when
sysg read s cf her death in the papers. You
a ,,S she was stout lady, who wore glasses,
AM. ana n . daughters older than she was in
s..n olaen TINE but you heart went back,

her golden hair about her face and Yourself,

MIR. L1NCoLN's OPINION OF GENERAL
LEE.-Mrs. Keckley, the colored servant
of Mr.. Lincoln's family, says that on the
very morning of the assassination Presi-
dent Lincoln took up portrait Of Gene
raj Lee, scanned the face thoughtfully,
and said: sit is good face !; it is the face
of noble, noble, brave man. I am glad
that the war is over at last" Looking up
at his son Robert, he continued !" Well,
my son, you have returned safely from the
front. The war is now closed, and We will
soon live in peace with the brave men that
have been fighting against US. trust that
the era Of good feeling has returned with
the close of the war, and that henceforth
we shall live in peace" Were President
Lincoln not dead he would, for such say
ings and thoughts as these, be denounced
as first-class, double-dyed traitor by
those who have now the hypocrisy to pre-
tend reverence for his memory.-Neao
York Times.

AN ARABIAN CITY. 1.-The sun was yet
two hours distance above the western hori
ION when we threaded the narrow and
winding defile till we arrived at its further
end. Here we found ourselves on the verge
Of large plain, many miles in length
and breadth, and girt ON every side by
a, high mountain rampant, while right in
front Of us, at scarce q quarter OF IN
hours march, lay the town Of Hayel,
surrounded. by Notifications of about
twenty feet in height, with bastion towers,
some round, some square, and large folding
gates at intervals it offered the same show
of freshness, and even Of something like
irregular elegance that had before struck
us in the villages on our way. But
this was, full-grown town, and it's area
might readily hold three hundred thou
sand inhabitants or more were its streets
and houses close packed like those of
Brussels or Paris. But the number of
citizens does not in fact exceed twenty or
twenty-five thousand, thanks to the many
large gardens, open spaces, and even plan
,tations, included within the outer walls,
whileith immense palace of the monarch
alone, with its pleasure grounds annexed,
occupies about one-tenth of the entire
city. Our attention was attracted by q
lofty tower, some seventy feet in height,
of recent construction and oval form,
belonging to the royal residence. The
plain all around the town is studded
with isolated houses and gardens, the pro-
perry Of wealthy citizens, or of members of
the kingly family, and on the far-of skirts
of the plain appear the groves belonging to
HoF,r d,yo h a nd other yi1lopag nlaced nj
the openings Of the mountain gorges that
conduct to the capital. Tho town walls
and buildings shone yellow in the
evening sun, and the whole pros
pect was one of thriving security delight
full to view, though wanting in the pecu-
liar luxuriance Of vegetation offered by the
valley of Djowf.. A few Bedouin tents lay
clustered by the ramparts, and the great
number of horsemen, footmen, camels, asses,
peasants, townsmen, boys, women, and other
like, all passing to and fro on their various
avocations, gave cheerfulness and animation
to the scene.-Lo,ldon Spectator.
