n that Gen. Butler's expedition against Wilmington, N. C., was a failure. Gen. Bragg is applauded here for this successful defense. The salaries of the clergymen have been raised by their congregations to $10,000 and $12,000. I hear that Dr. Woodbridge received a Christmas gift from his people of upwards of $4000, besides seven barrels of flour, etc. He owns his own house, his own servants, stocks, etc. Most of these fortunate ministers are natives of the North, but true to the Southern caulast night, and after the hour indicated. Gen. Lee certainly says it has fallen. It is gone, and I fear the reinforcements also — with Gen. Whiting to boot. Alas for Bragg the unfortunate! He seems to be another Boabdil the Unlucky. Dr. Woodbridge announced in the Monumental Church, yesterday, that only five ladies had responded to the call to knit socks for the soldiers! A rich congregation, too. My daughters (poor) were among the five, and handed him several pairs. They sent one pa

w minutes after one o'clock they started — there not having been one moment's delay. The Rev. Dr. Woodbridge, who had been visiting his son, a member of General Stuart's command, reached Beaver Dare going; these most courteously insisted upon Mrs. Stuart using it. Under the circumstances Dr. Woodbridge acccepted it for her, and in a few minutes they were on their way. The roads were very baed on. Frequently on the way soldiers were met, and each time the same question was asked by Dr. Woodbridge, Any news from General Stuart? Almost invariably the answer was, No; but we heard his woundso very dark, it now being after ten o'clock and still storming, that neither the driver nor Dr. Woodbridge saw the dark masses of horses and men lying along the roadside; but suddenly they became awaeads. When the noise of the moving vehicle ceased, he was heard to say, Who's there?--stand Dr. Woodbridge discovered he was a sentinel on duty, and at once told him his errand and who were in the am

isters, and may we not hope that some at least found the peace of God in the midst of war? [he writer himself had the privilege of offering spiritual consolation to Federal soldiers, sick, wounded, and dying, and he rejoices to believe that not a few rested their souls in the last trying hour upon the merits of Christ. The following testimony comes from one who was personally engaged in the blessed work of leading soldiers on both sides to the fountain of life: In Richmond the Rev. Dr. Woodbridge, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and family (and this was true of other clergymen), were found ready to furnish books, papers, etc., to abate the rigors of prison-life to Federal soldiers in the Libby. One of the chaplains relinquished his other work and devoted himself to visiting and preaching to the officers and soldiers and to ministering to their wants. This was followed up by frequent visits and ministrations of various kinds; and it is said that all the supplies sent fr

To the studies she had already added to the ordinary curriculum of the schools for young ladies of that day, she new, after thoroughly mastering them herself, adds the higher mathematics, geometry, including trigonometry, algebra, conic sections, and Enfield's natural philosophy. With all this working he still found time for remodelling the science of geography and history; and the results of this painstaking to furnish herself suitable implements of her profession we had in Willard and Woodbridge's popular Geography in 1821, and Mrs. Willard's Temple of Time and Chronographer of Ancient History. This ingenious design received a medal at the World's Fair in 1851. The certificate of testimonial, signed by Prince Albert, was no empty tribute to the eminent author, but rather a tribute to the substantial contribution to our aids in learning and teaching what ought to be the most fascinating, yet what had notoriously become the most uninteresting, of all our studies.

metimes designated as Sir Paul, Sir Peter, and Sir James. In coming to the private affairs of the Puritan divines, it is humiliating to find that anxieties about salary are of no modern origin. The highest compensation I can find recorded is that of John Higginson in 1671, who had £ 160 voted him in country produce, which he was glad, however, to exchange for £ 120 in solid cash. Solid cash included beaver-skins, black and white wampum, beads, and musket-balls, value one farthing. Mr. Woodbridge in Newbury at this same time had £ 60, and Mr. Epes preached in Salem for twenty shillings a Sunday, half in money and half in provisions. Holy Mr. Cotton used to say that nothing was cheap in New England but milk and ministers. Down to 1700, Increase Mather says, most salaries were less than £ 100, which he thinks might account for the scanty harvests enjoyed by our farmers. He and his son Cotton both tell the story of a town where two very eminent ministers were only allowed £ 30 pe

or other provisions which only extended the principle of retaliation. The retaliatory provisions of the bill encountered earnest remonstrance in the louse from its foremost members,—Jenckes of Rhode Island, Eliot and Dawes of Massachusetts, Woodbridge of Vermont, Baker and Judd of Illinois, and Schofield of Pennsylvania. The first three did their best in debate to eliminate the obnoxious feature from the measure. Garfield read, as in conflict with it, the thirteenth amendment to the Constillustrate the pusillanimity of public men when serving for short terms. The yeas were one hundred and four, and the nays four only. Baker and Jenckes gave two of the negative votes; Eliot, Garheld, and Judd voted for the bill; while Dawes and Woodbridge and seventy-nine more did not vote. Some members voted for the bill, though opposed to it, trusting to Sumner to defeat it in the Senate. When the writer asked his own representative how he could vote for such a monstrous perversion of just
