cheer. and every item Of favorable i'll

hurrahs. Indeed, the interest taken In
the conflict by every grade Of society
passes all reasonable understanding,
and the excitement exceeds anything
witnessed here since the surrender OF
Lee to Grant IN 1865.
II Sanitary Fuads.
Between two and three hundred
German ladies assembled at Turn
verein Hall on Sunday night and re-
solved to give a grand three days
promenade concert at the Pavilion. on
Stockton street, In aid Of the Sanitary
Fund. As soon rs this intention was
made known, all the German must
clans employed by, Mr.. Levy to assist
at his entertainments refused to play,
oil the ground that the performances
would Interfere with those proposed
for the benefit Of their colmtrymen:
Accordingly levy has been compelled
to postpone his concerts, thereby losing
much cash. The German Sanitary
Fund now reaches $4,000, and the
French $4,000.

r. strniman,s Sentence.
Stratman has been sentenced to six
months imprisonment for the libel
published on j. c.. Duncan In his col
lapsed Tribune. Offenses Of every kind
are generally published so ~lenicntly
that q just judgment surprises us all:
and Is apt to be thought unnecessarily
severe. In addition to the six months,
the Judges remarks were ut least
equal to three more. If an appeal TO
the higher courts confirms the sentence,
1t Is thought that the Governor Will
exercise his clemency and save the
Major from Imprisonment. | am AFRAID

Lottery Sermon.
The Clergymen here have taken turn

about the lottery. DR.. Cunningham

when lotteries were conducted for the
"glory of God and salvation Of souls

At the time Of General Thomas
