A Fib- Garrison On perusal of the excellent letter in the ot ugl -1st, addressed to yourself 1 tlu country by a IVncc Frit-nd," who hinwU by the very appropriate name of Alfred II.

In another column of the fame number, an article appears, headed "Justice ami Humanity to Soldier," giving a summary of the exertions made by lr.

I'uw-ditch to improve the condition of the Ambulance rtent in our armies, and sucsting that every effort should be made by humane citizens, and friend of the oMier, both white and colored, to carry this admirable and necessary reform into eflect. Here, then, it would teem, is just the field for the large, wealthy and benevolent body of Friends," and for all isolated simire lover of peace, to enter upon with personal activity, wfth the influence of their name ar.d standinjr, and especially with contribution of that money which conscientious scruple deny to the War Tower for war purposes. Let a private fond thus raised be appropriated to the pay of a worthy and skillful ambulance corps, under, perhaps, the superintendence of the noble Sanitary Commission.and provided with able animals, comfortable wagons in abundance, and sanitary stores in good order for the immediate relief of the wounded. Such private munificence, accompanied by the exertion of personal energy in carrying out the details of this plan, would surely stimulate or shame the official regulators of our present ambulance system to adopt more efficient measure in regard to the prompt relief of the wounded. Perhaps Government might ultimately be induced to adopt and maintain as its own, the private corps thus organized.

At all events, Friends might, with entire consistency, adopt such a body themselves and, with all due deference and respect, we trust your Christian correspondent will carry his loyalty and patriotism into'ficct by some such eflbrt as is suggested in your paper; and that "Friends" in Philadelphia and elsewhere may lend their aid and countenance thereto. A FRIEND OF PEACE AZD COLOKED CITIZENS Of BEAUFORT. At a meeting of the colored citizens of Beaufort, North Carolina, held at that place June 22d, 1SG3, for the purpose of taking into consideration certain measures for bettering the condition of the African race in that State and county, the following resolves were unanimously passed Resolved, That by the laws of this and other Southern States of the Union, we have been subjects of the most abject slavery, have long been a down-trodden people, have been used and bartered as chattels, and, furthermore, denied all rights of citizenship whatever, and all social interests pertaining to the rights of human beings have been denied all knowledge of let- ters, that we might the more easily be made subject to the will of the dastardly slaveholders. Resolved, That by the Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln, President of these United States, we are free, and that we will ever endeavor to maintain our freedom by word, deed and act, at all hazards and that, as opportunity is now offered to us to become soldiers, and take up arms in defence of our rights and for our liberty, we will do so to the extent of our ability. Kesolved.

That we will call for the sympathy of the free States of the North and of foreign powers that a it regards them, should any intefferenee ever be made, it may be in our behalf, and so redound to the liberation of the. whole African race of these United States. Kesolved, That we will tender our heartfelt gratitude and sincere thanks to Messrs. Garrison, Phillips, Sumner, Wilson and others, who hare these many years pleaded in behalf of our race, with that unmistakable sympathy which becomes the philanthropist whose heart beats for his countrymen in bonds, as bound with them. Kesolved, That a copy of these Kesolutions be -t 1.1" 1.

COLOEED EEGIMENT OF OHIO. On the 4th day of August, a large number of colored people of Ohio met in convention at Xcnia. Many of the most distinguished and influential men among them were in attendance.

The proceedings of the Convention were in all respects harmonious. At 12 o'clock on the day the Convention met, a procession, said to be a mile long, formed in the County Fair Grounds, (where the Convention held its sittings,) and marched to the depot to meet John M. Langston, who was to address the meeting, in the afternoon, on The Hour and the Duty of Colored Men to the Government." On account of sickness, Mr. Langston did not speak until the following afternoon, lie was listened to witli marked attention for over two hours. Ami as he spoke of the duty of the colored men of Ohio to come forward, and fill up the regiment now rendesvousing at Camp Delaware, he was heard with demonstrations of the liveliest interest.

The following preamble and resolutions, adopted at this meeting, utter in unmistakable terms the sentiment of the colored men of Ohio, as to their duty towards the Government, and their determination to meet it Whereas, We, the colored citizens of Ohio, this day aeeeuibk-d at Xenia, in view of what has already been done by the President of the United States, and the general Government, in behalf of the Africo-Ameri-can, have unshaken and increasing confidence in Abraham Lincoln, our President, in his administration and the General Government therefore, Kesolved, That we stand as ever on the side of the Government, and pledge to it our lives, our property, and our acred honor," in it eflbrt to subdue the rebellion of the slave oligarchy of the country, in ita determination to emancipate the slaves of all rebel, to establish freedom in the District of Columbia and the National Territories, to welcome Hayli and Liberia to the great family of nations, to recognize the citizenship -of the native-born colored American, and protect the colored soldiers, who, taking the American musket and bayonet, have gone forth at the call of their country to do and die for the Government and the Union. Kesolved, That we nre proud of the heroic conduct of the colored soldier who fought at Millikcn's Bend and Morris Inland, vindicating a they did, by their noble and manly behavior, their claim to the admiration and respect of their countrymen. Ik-solved, That it i the duty of the Colored -People of Ohio to fill up at once, by volunteering, the colored regiment now being formed at Camp Delaware. We understand seven companies of able bodied colored men have been mustered into the service at Camp Delaware. The regiment i filling up quite rapidly.

Every day brings new accession to it Wc. also understand that Mr. Langston, agent of the Slate of Ohio, for Major G. L. Steam, is sparing no effort to fill up the regiment oon a possible.

Mr. Langston feel that his efforts in connection with this regiment will prove altogether successful, and that he will be able to present to the Government regiment of vuliaut negro soldiers. The men are well ph ased with their officers, as far they have been appointed, aud well satisfied with their treatment in cauip. GOSPEL PREACHING. Br.

ARRiaox, A week or two since, a young minister from Hill, N. exchanged desk, with the cler gyman of Andover, N. and he, thinking to draw i.s inspiration from above, instead of descending to me jn. wa ior it, took the Christian liberty to denounce American sing, instead of preaching every Sunday as many do against the sins of Assyria. Babylon.

Eevnt. and Judea at which effrontery, a pro-slavery mn, of some wealth, arose and said that this bouse being ded icated to religious services, and not to the preaching of politics, the minister must stop, or else he should give but five minute lor the minister and congregation to clear the hall; at the expiration of which time he should lock the door. The minister said he should go on to preach his own sentiments, if he preached at all; at which the copperhead began to rave and swear, hustled the minister down stairs, and had it not been for two or three influential men present, who chanced not to be drunk, the minister would have received the same treatment that those do who tell the truth at the South. For years, I know from personal experience that if a minister utters a word against slavery, injustice, drunkenness, uncleanness, whoredom, the party calling themselves "Democrats" (though they have no more right to assume the name than the devil has to assume the name of Christian) take it that mean them, which shows plainly that the coat nicely fits them. They want the minister to preach the gospel," which, in their estimation, means to preach against the sins of the ancients, and ignore those of the moderns.

If it is not the duty of the preachers to denounce the sins of the present age, and hold up for example the terrible retribution which followed the vices of past ages, that men may be warned by their fate, then we are sadly mistaken. But a few of the congregation at Andover sympathized with the young minister. He was not at first aware that he was in a congregation, composed almost wholly of those who derived their inspiration from the rum bottle, instead of the fountain of absolute justice and truth. But the most shameful of all was, that they required him to draw up from their stagnant cesspools of abomination and filth, the fetid, putrescent effluvia of slavery, instead of imbibing the pure chrystal nectars of life, liberty true righteousness.

Heir of the aspirations of Christ and of John Brown, you will pas to posterity with the name of the Emancipator more enviable than any crown or any human treasure. An entire race of men, bowed by selfish egotism under the yoke of slavery, is, at the price of the noblest blood of America, restored by you to the dignity of man, tn civilization, and to love. America, mistress of lilerty to our fathers, open again the solemn epoch of human progress and while she astonishes the world by her gigantic daring, she makes us sorrowfully think how this old Europe, which also fights so great a battle for liberty, find neither mind nor heart to equal hers. While the revelers in "despotism raise their bacchanalian rejoicings over the fall of a free people, let free men religiously keep sacred the day of the fall of slavery. There are mysterious parallels in history the robbery of Mexico, and the Lincoln proclamation.

The Workingmen's of Cincinnati, at a meeting held on the 20th unanimously adopted the following Whereas, There is a party which calls itself shame lessly by the name of the Democratic party, and which asserts liberty to be licentiousness and anarchy, and that the liberty of the press is a justified means to undermine the free institutions of the people of the Union and establish a Government with slavery as its basis, spreading treason abroad, and which sympathizes with the damnable rebellion of the South, and provokes opposition to the legally constituted Government and laws producing desertions, mobs, murders, and incendiarism. Among the papers of the disloyal party, the Cincin nati Volksfreund is one that does homage to all this aforesaid blamablc tendency in the highest degree. and in spite of all moral rectitude and truth.

Walker, (now in England,) to a friend in that city Since the victory at Gettysburg, and the fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, suggestions appear that President Lincoln should recall the emancipation proclamation. This would ruin the cause here.

The proclamation was legal, and as such it did emancipate the slaves, and they are now free. How can Mr. Lincoln re-enslave them 7 The past is irrevocable, even by Almighty power.

The London Anti-Slavery lleporter of August 1st says A remarkable photograph lias been reproduced in England by Mr. Jones, photographer, Oxford Street. It is a facsimile photographic likeness of a Louisiana slave's back, taken five or six months after a terrible scourging, and exhibiting from the shoulders to the waist great welts and furrows raised or gouged by the lash, running crosswise and lengthwise, the victim himself presenting a noble countenance and fine physique.

The "card" came from the United States, over which the New York Independent and the National AtUi-Slavery Standard recommend itshould be sown broadcast by the 100,000.

The cause of his departure was the feeling excited in that usually quiet city, by bills posted about the streets, containing extracts from Samuel's copperhead speech on taking the chair of said Convention.

Mr. llerwig, a Protestant German, witli hi wife and five children, set out about eight o'clock in the morning, in their wagon, to attend church at Amherst About an hour afterwards, as some men were crossing the bridge at Beaver Creek, they saw two horses struggling in the water.

The neighbors were alarmed, and the horses extricated. When the carriage was drawn out, the bodies of Mr. Herwig, his wife and five children, comprising the entire family, were found in it, quite dead. It is supposed that in crossing the bridge the horses became frightened, and backed off into the river, where, becoming entangled in the carriage, all the seven were drowned.
