New Orleans, and formerly chaplain in the
Confederate service, expressing the gratitude
of the Southern people for the noble gifts OF
their Northern brethren. He says the kind
ness of their Northern friends has won the
hearts of the entire South and bound them by
strong cords of love that no power will break
in the future. 1t would surprise you, he con-
tinues, to know of families, lately possessing
their thousands, selling vases and obiets de

class, men of education and moral WORTH have
had their business smtten as with the light

They cannot beg, aud die in misery. The sum
forwarded to his charge, he says, will be ex-
pended iudciously and a list of those assist
ants will be forwarded to Portland.
