TIE evangelical young men in the Depart.

lasting obligations to the Hon. Peter Parker
Moved by feeling Of the greatest solicitude
for their spiritual welfare, and knowing how
earnestly they yearn to attend the MONDAY
prayer meeting of the Evangelical Alliance to-
day, Mr.. Parker called upon the President
yesterday and succeeded in obtaining an order
that those clerks who are attending to their
ledgers in heaven as well as to those in the
Government Offices should have permission to
be present. The number of young men IN the
Departments who are anxious TO attend MONDAY
prayer meetings includes at least seventy 1--we
per cent. Of the whole force, and It 10 very GER
tain that they will not to-day miss the oppor-
tunity of improving their chances for eternal
salvation which Is presented to them. II they
do they will be guilty Of grave offence, and

them to be.

AN ENGLISH ARCHITECT is satisfied that ne
can build what has hardly ever been built-a
perfectly fre-proof structure. He proposes to
use cement concrete, with mon and steel and
metal wire, in such combinations - TO resist
the most glowing furnace heat. The expert
ence of the Chicago and Boston fires proves
that iron Orders are entirely unreliable when
subjected to intense heat; and that columns Of
the same material crack and split asunder the
moment cold water Is thrown upon them. The
new invention il described Is follows:
"Walls, partitions snd roofs are constructed OF
sheet iron or STEEL 20 formed as to represent one
half Of an octagonal honeycomb cell in transverse
section, reversed and placed as itches parallel to
each other with space Of six inches Intervening.
In this space are pipes Of hollow earthenware, IN
two feet lengths, and tho iron fisches arc bolted
to and through the pipes thus forming COM
posite girder which Ii light and strong and capa-
BILE Of resisting the flame. Partitions are con
structed of Eoctagonal honeycomb iron or steel
cells with metal wire stretched across instead Of
inHsmmable laths) to receive the cement concrete
or plaster, the wire serving to tie the iron and
steel lengths and to give strength to the concrete
One great excellence Of the invention is that
through the hollow earthenwars pipes ventilation
to any part of the structure can be secured, and,
desired, hot air may DO conveyed from tho base
ment furnace" In s-.- -...r. r.
Sixty houses have been built in England upon
this plan with, II d said, the most satisfactory
results. .rs... ...- a -...

The Cirar.Rox instruction.

To the Editor of the Ledger:
1t is said upon the streets, | know not
upon what authority, that our Senators
and RspresentRtives consider themselves
instructed 10 vote for Andrew johnson.
As a lifelong Democrat. who ear
nestly supported the whole ticket, hope
this absurd report is not true.
voted for each of the members elect
without knowing, or seeking to know,
how any one Of them would vote in the
election for United States Senator, be
cause was willing to trust the manly
independence, sound judgment and
sense of duty Of each of those gentle
men, and believed that, in deciding a
question so important, that each should
avail himself Of all the lights attainable
M to the moment of the election.
have q right TO expect that manly indie
peudence and the honest exercise of
that Judgment on which | relied, and /
demand IT. All will admit that a ma
jorify of their constituents hare the
right to instruct as to any representative
duty. There are none so silly as to as
sumo that less than a majority OF tn.
iohOle constituency can instruct.
You state in your issue OF Saturday
that the whole vote cast in the county
at the November election was 1850,
and that there we're 1851 tickets with the
name of Andrew johnson upon them,
reported to have been counted from cigar
boxes, for the keeping Of which nobody
was responsible, and into which any per
son could put as many tickets as they
chose. To dignity such farce with the
name Of instruction is too absurd to i'm
pose upon the most exi-avagant cre
dulity.
II 435T voters bad expressed in the
most authentic and unmistakable man
ner their preference for Mr.. johnson, no
sane mind could cleim that such proper
ton OF the constituency could instruct,
however persuasive such expression
might be, and any attempt to justify
such q vote upon the ground Of insti &C.
ton cannot be understood othe. wise than
as timid shrinking from represent tive
responsibility.
AS a personal f,iend and earn u sup
porter OF each member Ell 1t, | app Il to
them to vote their honest seniiments la
the election for Senator, as well as upon
all other questions, and thereby avoid
placing themselves IN ne humiiiatne
attitude Of seeking to justly a vote by
the miserable fa-ce OF the inst Ic''on
fraud.
Such Of them as honestly believe = /,
the election of Mr.. johnson would pr
mote the best interests Of Tenness' c,
ought, by ell means, TO vote for him.
and cote for him because they do belieoe
IL; and those who honestly think differ
ent ought TO vote differently. for the same
reason. DEMO Graf.
