late years the, number Of sailors who can
read and write has considerably increased.
Rev. Mr.. Pease, chaplain of the Bethel.
stated that he he'd worked diligently in the
cause for ten years in New Orleans. and was
pleased to say that his labor had not been in
vain. The mission is tolerably prosperous
now. Seven hundred names are on the
temperance list He is anxious to procure
new quarters. as the present buildings unfit
for use and altogether too small. The read
ing room is insufficient to accommodate all
visitors, and it occasionally happens that
fifty men are there at one time.
Rev Mr.. Morrow spoke of the great benefit
these missions are to sailors WhO are In Q
strange land.
Rev. Mr.. Hooker gave some details con-
corning the institution. and expressed
desire to have home and chapel comblned.
Rev. Mr. Hartzell explained in detail the
extent and nature Of the American Sea-
mems Friends Association, which institu-
ton last year sent out more than 100000
volumes of good works. He said that
10000 sailors arrive in this port annually,
most of them being Immediately discharged.
The work of this mission is to rescue these
wanderers from the hands of bad men, who
not only rob but poison them.
The speaker was very earnest on the
subject, and pleasantly related anecdotes
which had come under his own experience.
He further stated that the parent society
would give some assistance, bat that it
would cost about $4,000 to make and furni-h
proper building. A collection was taken,
resulting in securing $40. Persons who
will subsc cibe even tho smaliest sum can
leave contributions with either Of the gen
tlemen mentioned.

gentlemen visited Havana, and on their
trip homeward visited New Orleans A
Spaniard, also passenger on the steamer,
managed to ingratiate himself into the
little circle during the voyage. just before
reaching this city ono of the gentlemen by
chance displayed his wite's watch, an ele-
CANT article. when the smooth tongued
Spauiard requested the loan of it until he
could have his own repaired. which
request was readily granted, as he
stated he intended to stop in the
same hotel that the others did. However,
after all were duly located at the hotel Mr..
Spaniard could not be found, and the gen.
tleman confessed that he had been duped
by a confidence man. The party remained
here few days and divided. The out-and.
injured gentleman had informed those OF
his companions who remained behind how
he had been victimized. One of the last
named gentlemen recently had occasion to
take the cars for short excursion into the
country and about the first person he saw
on the train was Mr.. Spain. A prompt de
mand was made for the watch, and the
demand admitted no excuse or explanation

OUT OF BUGGY INTO A CANAL
Last Sunday two young men who de-
sired to show off to great advantage sue
ceeded admirably. They were in buggy
near the corner of Canal and Broad streets,
when they noticed two ladies in q carriage,
and being anxious to obtain a near view Of
them attempted to turn their horse at the
corner. Well, they turned-slap into the
Shiny water of the canal, men, horse and
buggy. Two ambitious and we'll dressed
yonrhs took such q ducking as they can
never forget, which does not call for much
sympathy, but the poor horse, he was q
regular stick in-the-Inud. The more he
houndered the deeper he sunk, and had not
stout rope been quickly procured the
unfortunate beast would have drowned.
When pulled out, the animal looked like
anything but a horse; it was mass OF
slime. The buggy was almost a total
wreck. and Was not rescued until yester.
day The Young men-it is useies to men.
ton any thing about them, further than to
say that the dirt bath they took will teach
them lesson which must remain in their
foolish heads as long as they survive. OF
course on emerging from the filthy canal
they were indeed sweet scented, ana if they
ever again try to show off before ladies', it
ia hoped they will remember that little
sport thew experienced On the eighteenth OF

MRS. sHrRMAN's LETTER.

| My Dear Sr-The General is absent, but
have seen your letter, and the article inclose6
from paper which has been considered re-
spectacle. The General has no intention tc
answer anything which has been put forth in
a spirit Of malice, envy, anger or resentment,
regarding his Memoirs. You may say for me,
however, that the most ''ghastly apparition
which crises before my soul"-the one which
''hlls me with the greatest horrors the
lawful dread" of the fate of those especially
it they be Catholics) who indulge in such
baseless ISLANDERS and spread forth such ma.
licious falsehoods. My knowledge of General
Sherman's character is thorough. Every
year of his life, since he was
nine years old, I have associated
with him or corresponded with him, and have
known his sentiments we'll. Could the natu-
raj virtues and helrt free from malice, re-
sentiment or injustice, secure Heaven to a
man, l need not ask for him the supernatural
gift of faith. The Coarier-Jomnal says he
perpetrated an enormity in himself applying
the torch to factory, during which time he
was also guilty of blasphemy I say Gen.
Sherman never was guilty of blasphemy or
profanity, and the men of the Courier-Journal
knew when they published that article that
he had never applied the torch to building
How shameful to SANDER Religious by
accusing her of deliberately calling down a
curse upon man When the Convent of
the Ursuline Nuns at Columbia, S. c., was re-
ported to be in danger of burning, Gen.
Sherman sent my brother, Gen. Charles Ew-
ing, OF his staff, and commissary officer,
Major j. W. Comyn, both Catholics, with
orders and authority to do all that could be
done for the Sisters and for those under their
charge.
They executed the orders with zeal and
great kindness, and under continued instruc-
tlons from Gen. Sherman they assigned to
them goodly share of commissary stores
and attended to their wants until the army
left the place. Curses which are called down
will not fall upon Gen. Sherman, and he is
too good to wish that they may rest upon
those who invoke them. Let the malicious |
revlle, and the false invent SANDERS, and let |
such journals as choose to deal in such things |
publish to any extent, but let them not pre- |
sumo to assign to me sentiments 80 foreign |
to my heart regarding the man whose purity |
Of life, answering principle, gentleness of /
heart and courage Of soul have heightened !

A TRUTHFUL CORRESPONDENT.

Mr.. Charles Nordhoff, the able correspond
ent of the New York Herald, has ever since tn
adjournment of Congress been travelling il
the South, carefully Investigating the true
condition of our affairs, and embodying hi
convictions in carefully and we'll written let
ters to his paper.
| His criticisms on the political conduct o
both parties have been characterized by fair
ness and honesty, and have plainly not beer
written with view to either bolster up or un
justly condemn the action of either of the
two political parties which have been strug
Cling SO severely for the mastery in the South
| since the war.
Where condemnation was deserved he gave
it freely, but where an opportunity presented
itself for him to correct any erroneous i'm
preston entertained by the people of the
North relative to our affairs, he did not hest
tate to take advantage Of it and endeavor to
correct it as speedily as he could. The
COURAGE dodge" was carefully scrutinized
and sifted by him, and the reports which gave
it birth were well Investigated and confirmed
or denied, as the truth warranted.
The able manner in which he portrayed the
true condition of our affairs should command
the respect even OF those who are not disposed
to fully indorse his statements. Had he been
seeking merely for food with which to supply
the ranting political stump speakers or for
material to engage the pens of the party jour
nalists, he might easily have so twisted and
contortioned facts as to give an ample supply
to either.
He chose, however, the more honorable and
just method of lucidly stating facts, so that
those people whose minds were not already SO
poisoned by the venom Of political bitterness
or sectional hate, might be enabled to reach
correct judgments based on real facts.
There are very many people in the North
who have been really anxious to know more
of our people, satisfied, as they are, that they
have never been given faithful accounts of
our condition, habits and customs. To this
class MIR. Nordhof has addressed his letters,
and to them his conclusions must perforce be
Of great weight in aiding them to form
correct judgment of us.
He has now concluded his tour and arrived
1t home. As might have been expected, the
orejudiced Radical press have bitterly con-
lemned him. They would fain have made
DOL of him, and failing in this they would
ike to throw ridicule and dscredit upon his
articles, and SO nulliffy the effect they must
nave.
In this they must fail, as none who have
cad the letter will fail to perceive, the evil
lent truth and justice which has character
zed them. Nh. Nordhoff has faithfully per-
ormed his task, and is deserving of the
hanks of the entire country for the able
manner in which he has performed his diff
ult task.
