            Messrs. Editors—Allow me to acknowledge the receipt of $450 in Confederate bills, and $15 in silver, from the captain, officers, engineers, firemen, seamen and others of the steamer “Julia.”

WM. B. YATES, Chaplain

            Another excellent example, gratifying and encouraging for the indefatigable efforts of the seamen’s good friend, in relieving the necessities of seamen’s families whose supports are in prison or lest in a watery grave.  We are glad to announce that Mr. YATES, who has been suffering from a severe spell of sickness, is last regaining his naval good health.
