Letter from Chesapeake City.
CHESAPEAKE CITY, Feb. 1st 1870.

Mr.. Ering AS promised to give you
and the readers of your paper, an account
of the NJ. F.. S. School at this place, l will
again resume my pen, for rest assured,
Mr.. Editor, that next to the Public School
interest, is the church and all institutions
pertaining to it. The Sabbath school is
the nursery of the church, and hearing so
much about the School, wendell my way
thither and took my seat, few noticing me
thinking, perhaps, l was traveller stop
ping in for mere curiosity; but various
were my thoughts, after glaneing over the
school. was informed that nearly two
hundred scholars were enrolled, and the
brightest faces / ever saw were there ex-
hibted. Many of the teachers were youth
full looking, but they seemed intent on
their mission; and as this was the Sabbath
to reorganize the classes, the superintend-
emf omitted many Of the customary recita-
tons.
Mr.. William Lindsey, the superintend-
ent exercised such perfect control over the
children, that they seemed to move as
orderly as clock work He gave a shert
lecture which made the hearts of all pres
ent rejoice that their existence was in a
Bible land. When the lessons, etc, were
brought to a close, Mr.. J. NJ. Reed the
chorister led the singing; and really more
appropriate hymn, l would not wish to
listen to; the words of which are still ring
ing in my ears: "Stand up for Jesus"
From the interest that the Sabbath school
is taking in the present series of meetings,
methinks, ere long, host Of valiant SOL
disrs of the cross will be recruited. Sue
cess seems to crown the efforts of Mr..
Redman, whose zeal in the cause of win
ming souls to Christ is untiring. The polite
librarian showed me the Library which is
certainly the finest have ever seen in all
my travels on the Eastern Shore; and here
was informed that reading matter was
furnished to rich and poor. At my next
stopping place l will write, and think it
will be Port Herman, where we have one
of the brightest stars of the literary galaxy;
but am sorry that she selected such
nome de plume as "Dinah.''

Coughs and Colds.-During the changea-
BILE seasons of Fall and Winter, when
coughs and colds are so frequent, no person
should be without some valuable prepara-
ton for their cure. They should recollect
that neglected cough or cold frequently
terminates in consumption. Hasson's Com
pound Syrup Of Tar is the best and most
reliable article known for the cure of coughs,
colds, hoarsness chronic, catarrhs, sore
throat, asthma, and all diseases of the
throat and lungs. No family should be
without it. Price so cents. Sold at H. II,

Sound Sleeping. Of our merchants

store in order to scare away robbers if they

the guards Gentle taps not having the
desired effect he applied his knuckles as
hard as they would bear, and still not sue
cesding in waking the slespers, he tried
his boot heels, still no answer came from
drawn out. Failing utterly at the door to
make himself heard, no next tried brick
bats Oh the roof but no response was vouch

this time the neighborhood was pretty gen.
orally walked up, and lights began to flash,
and sashes to rise, and night-caps to pre-
trade, through the open windows. "What
on earth's the matter? ?" inquired one old
lady, who had been disturbed in the midst
of dream about thieves and robbers
"Ler' sakes! if there isn't a rebber tryin'
to get into Mr.. IS store"
Driven to desperation, the merchant now
tried to arouse the sleepers with the voice.
And Tom and John, and John and Tom

A NOvEI. SITIyATIoN.-TO see an Ameri-
can born citizen becoming naturalized sub
iect CT Great Britain for the purpose OF carry
ing on the non ship building business. Why
don't Congress allow the transfer Of the Amer
lean flag to foreign built ships at once, and
have no more nonsense about il? The very
TACT of the United States becoming again
great commercial power would give an impe-
tus to American industry in our shipyards
that would in time and under proper encour-
agement and legislation overcome foreign
competition, and leave the field or rather the
ocean, very nearly all to thPmselves.-N. Y.
Herald.
A shovel situation" sure enough, but the
remedy proposed by the Herald is still mere
novel. Ii proposes to encourage the transfer
OF the shpbui!ding industry from America to
Great Britain by passing an act 10 stimulate
still further that business in the latter coun-
try, while our shipbuiders are to be set to
work again in some mysterious way by tie
contemplation of the abstract notion that IL 9
United States has become again "a great
commercial power" 1t may lie proper fl r
metropolitan journals to argue in this way,
bit it is what we Down casters call noL-
sense. The Herald might as well propose 10
encourage the growth OF cotton in the United
States by admitting the Indian or Egyptian
cotton free OF duty, and even offering boun-
ty for every boil raised in those countries, and
expect our planters, perceiving that the Unit
ed States had become "a great cotton manu-
featuring power" 10 proceed with uHquestion-
in5 faith TO plant immense quantities of their
ale!

BUTLER ON PoRrER.-The first sensation of
the session occurred in the House on Mon
day during the debate on Mr.. Logan's bill to
abolish the office of admiral and vice admiral.
The enmity of Gen. Butler to Admiral Porter
made the members curious to see what pcsi.
ton he would take, and while he was speaking
his hearers crowded round him from all parts
OF the House, and during his speech main
tanned the most eager and intense silence while
the General dashed his foe with more than his
usual bitterness. Gen. Bntler said that as al
lusior had beeu made to letter of Admiral
Porter 1t was not improper that he should re-
fer to 1t a moment. Ii gratitude were to con-
troll his vote, be should give it in favor of Por-
Ter Tor writing that letter. He had put tefore
me country piece of evidence for which he
MI. Butler) was very grateful. 1t showed
That the army commander of the Fort Fisher
expedition was never to succeed. Still he
could not believe that it was the duty of Com
gress to keep open the grade of Admiral even
ior the sake OF having such good letters writ
ten as the two to which reference had been
made. (Laughter.)
He desired to know whether it was worth
while to have an Admiral OF the Navy who
could not for two days together utter the same
sentiments; whether it was worth while TO
have an Admiral who one day maliened and
another day Rugged his commander. He could
easily understand why the President took no
notice OF Admiral Porter's letters. They were
personal to him, too, but was that the man to
put in the place of the sainted, noble and
brave Farragut? Was that the man to put as
an example before the youth of the Navy?
Were they to be told that naval officer could
at one moment praise his commander and at
another moment malign him? that.he might
at oneimoment write a sycophantic letter to
the Secretary of the Navy to get promotion
and power, and at the same time abuse man
not then in power, and when that letter was
brought forward, to turn around and abuse
the poor Secretary, who is not now in power.
so as to gain the favor of person (President)
in power? Was that why men should be pro-
they were to set before the youth Of the coun-
try? A brave, frank. open-hearted sailor who
died (referriDg to Farragut) with his diving
lips said to his attendants: "Never more raise
that flag over me-carry it before my coffin;
that flag which has been imposed upon by the
mau who expects to be my successor" Asa
friend and associate of Farragut, he (Butler)
protested in the face of the country that Con-
gress should not step out of its way to tax the
people for the purpose of putting honor upon
man who had dishonored the President and
had dishonored the Navy. (Excitement.)

The Cincinnati Commercial says that the
Tammany Democracy of New York have
thrown overheard Gov. Hoffman as their can
didate for the Presidency, and that they are
coquetting with other prominent Democrats,
Hendricks of Indiana among the rest. The
New York papers, however, know nothing Of
this important movement. 1t is antecedently
improbable. The odds against the Democra-
cy are heavy enough at best, without begin
ming the Presidential campaign with the sac
rifice of New York.
