Not the Last.

The following letter in the Philadelphia City
Item explains itself:
GIN paying deserved compliment to the late
Major Gen. John G. Foster, you state that he
was the last surviving officer, with one excep-
ton, Gen. Doubleday who participated in the
defense of Fort Sumter, under Major Ander-
son.
In this you are in error. Gen. Truman Sey-
mour, of the Fifth U. S. Artillery, (now IN COM
mand of Fort Preble, Me. } and Gen. Crawford,
Qate Colonel of the Second u. S. Infantry,)
were among the officers who participated in
that memorable defense.
General Seymour at one time commanded a
brigade, and subsequently the division SO well
known as the 'Penn Reserve" and was noted
for his great daring, and solicitude for the well
fare of his command.
Later still, the command of the same divi-
sion fell to General Crawford, who continued
with it until the close. So it will be seen that
there are still a few left of those who, in those
days of distrust and treachery, dared to do
their duty to their flag and country.
DIM"
We are informed that there are four of the
Sumter officers still living; Major Generals
Doubleday, Crawford, Davis and Seymour, the
first two Of whom are on the Retired list, the
last two in active service. Six are dead: An
derson, Foster. Talbot, Hall, Snyder and
Meade.
The late General Foster being then staff
officer, was not eligible to any command of the
Sumter garrison so long as there was line Of
ficer present, as all familiar with our military
organization will know.

The stories or suffering ard sorrow that have
been told from day 10 day by HERALD reporters
have awakened In the popular heart a practical
sympathy. Below will be found the record OF deeds
and words that are very eloquent, because they
come from the heart. These are answers TO the
deep wall OF the needy that has come up in It's
tones OF terribleness 10 arouse all who can
heip TO acts OF generosity and true oenevolence.
Noble as this response has been, we are compelled
TO state that it fails short of the necessity 1t

and TO ill In with still deeper lines the shading OF
misery in these pictures or poverty Help, how
ever is what is needed, and it cannot come too

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY.
Thc world renowned celebrity OF this society in

the most prominent officers OF the Council OF

of the st. Vincent Home for Boys in Brook

ter than in the pasty
During my residence in South Brooklyn, ex.
tending over a period of fourteen years, have
never met SO many OF actual and real want
among the people. So much am impressed with
the necessity OF extraordinary exertioD on the
part OF all who can assist the poor In any way that
at the last meeting OF the Council OF Direction of
the st. Vincent de Paul Society suggested that
our wants be made public-this. too, in violation
OF the rules Oh the society," wnlcn require that we
keep our movements to ourselves and not make
known our labors. But you see, sir,
the present state OF want in the
community Is such as to require it
seems to me, that we should make known our con.
ditIOn to the people and appeal 10 them for ala in
carrying out our work. Last year upward OF
100000 was distributed under our direction In the
diocese OF Brooklyn. The society IL divided into
nineteen working conferences, which are under
the control Of the Council Of Direction. This coun.
Gil reports yearly the result OF it's labors to the
Head Council, in Paris In our con terence OF

graw street, Hamilton and Third avenues, there
