Lixcoty—The National Fair for the Union Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphans’ Home and the Home for Destitute Colored Women and Chil- dren.—Our readers no doubt recollect that Mrs, Lincoin presented to the first of the above noble enterprises, in aid of its objects, an Affghan well worthy of a Kajab, and other val- wable and interesting articles, for which gen- erous donations she received a letter ef thanks from its board of managers. It was ner im- pression, as well as that of many others, that the amount realized trom its operations was to be disposed of irrespective of color, but it so bappened that previous to ker contributions being received its managers had decided other- wise. On learning their determination she wrote the following letter to Mr. Alex. Wil- Hamson, of this city, a copy of which was, on its rec-ipt, tranemitted by him to the commit. tee of management, and by them at once given effect to, und arrangements made for the gale pie po donations in 8 manner quite satisfactory o her: “Cur1caGo, 5th July, 1866.—My Dear Sir: 1 &m surprised and disappointed to learn that an inclination is displayed in the management of the funds of the Orphans’ Fair at Washing- ton, to exclude the families of the colored sol- diers from any participation in the result of their benevolent efforts. The latter equally sbared the dangers of the battle-fleld, and fought toredeem our common country from the hands of the oppressor. Surely all objec- tions will be removed in regard to their rights and privileges, and the orphans of this op- pressed race be fully remembered in the d s- tribution of comforts. I feel assured in thus saggesting my views to you on this sacred subject, that lam only reiterating the senti- ments that per vaded the life of my deeply la- mented husband, and the advice he would give were he sull living. In the canse of hu- manity his precious life was sacrificed. and ‘we can but pray that his noble example will be remembered and imitated by all who pro- tess to follow in his fwotsteps. I should be better satisfied if my few gifts, when disposed of, should be shared alike, without distinction ofcolor. In theevent that such is not the case, pray say toapy party who entertains thesame views as myselt, in making any arrangements in the future for the benefit of the colored peo- ple, any mementoes of my beloved husband in my possession, as far as my feelings will per- mit, shall be at their service, if they can be disposed of profitably. In so doing, T am sure my musband would approve. Yesterday was another of the anniversaries that brings such sorrow to my deeply bereaved neart. I am pleased when «/isuch daysare gone. Ihave simply written you & note expressive of my feelings. You are a friend, and will under- stand them. I remain, very truly. Mary Lincoun.” The result of the sale of Affghan and flag was communicated to Mrs. L. a few days ago, which gives about $3) to each of the before- mentioned institutions, leaying (General Jacksen’s walking stick and other histor- ical relics still to be disposed of. The pur- chasers of the Affghan have already decided to resent it to the modern Hampden, John right, »M. P., England, to mark their appreciation of bis devotedness to human treedom and equal rights without regard to country, position or color. We are acsured that whenever and wherever Mrs. L. can te of any service to benevolent and humanita- rin projects the philanthropic individuals en- srned in them will find her a substantial riend. ——_e—___ THE Point OF ROCKS RAILROAD.—The work oferading the track within the city limits for the railroad to the Point of Rocks is progressing rapidly under the supervision of Superin- tendent S.G. Myers. Two working parties are engaged upon the north and sonth sides of the cutting on East Ist street, above I street. The cutting here is nine feet six inches. The earth excavated is used in filling in the direc- Uon of the railroad depot, and in raising the embankment north of the cutting in the low ground along the Tiber. The empankment ‘will not be as high here as anticipated, as the highest point, at the intersection.of East 1st street and L street, will be only seven feet six anches. The cutting is made twenty-six feet ‘wide at the base, to provide ample room fora double track. should the business of the road make a double track necessary. A heavier cutting will be requisite beyond the boundary ofthe city westof Eckington, near the Gien- wood road, and there will be considerable beavy work beyond this point. The number of laborers will be increased when they ean be used to advantage, and it is expected that the road will be extended from this direction some seven miles ont during the winter. Other ‘working parties are engaged at points on the dine between here ana the Point of Rocks. The work on the heavy cutting at Parrs Ridge is done by contract; the work in this vicinity is done by the day. Mr. Garrett, president of the road; Mr. Ran- dolpb, engineer, and Mr. Quincy, assistant Toad master, visited the work in progress here on Tuesday, and made a carefal inspection of tke route. a MopERN STYLE CARRIAGBS.—Robert H’ Graham, 374 D street, whose establishment bas a wide-spread reputation for elegant styles of carriages of the latest pattern, has on Hand a stock that challenges general admira- tion by their extreme beauty and high style of finish. The elegant new turnonts of some Tmembers of the foreign legations, that have attracted so much attention on the streets lately. were purchased at Graham’s. A gen- tleman from Phiadelphia was so much struck with the beauty of these carriages that he pur- chased one to be shipped to Philadelphia. As that city is somewhat famons for its carriage. work, this is the bighest testimonial possible to the stock of a Washington carriage repos. itory. ——_e—_—_. _ Epitor oF STaR :—The statementin the last issue of your paper that the Hon.

The brick- layers are enéeayoring to post him as to the cxuse of the strike, toinduce him to stop work. Yesterday, Dr. d, of the Seventh Ward, was at the building, and asked for work for bimee!‘, and said if there was no distiacton on sxccount of color, he could get several colored men. He said he was not very good brick- jayer himself, but could do a tair job. He was toid to bring the men in the morning, when it wonld be seen what could be done in regard to their employment. This morning he made his appearance promptly before the bell was rung, with six colored men. He was referred by Mr. Keeside, the master bricklayer, to Mr. Ladan, the master stone Mason, Who exercises a general supervis- jon of the whole work; but he declined to take the responsibility of putting them to work, and referred them to Mr. Mullet, the supervising architect. The latter, however. ‘Was not at the building this morning, and after waiting awbile, Dr. Boyd and his party retired in_good order. The stone masons and other workmen are still on the building, and are pushing forward their work. but the brick work is of course on 8 6‘and-still. and the few “red necks,” as the bricklayers are jokingly called, is remarked by passers-by. A number ofthe strikers, as well as those who were sent here to take their places, have gone to work on other jobs; but & majority of them bave, every day since, gathered about the corner of F and 15th street, elosely watching the movements of those on the building. They are very orderly, how- ever, and evince no disposition to interfere with the workmen. Thi: afternoonat lo’cl’k the ¢olored applicants for work were in- formed tbat they could not be employed, It is probable that it was apprehended that if colored brickmasons were employed there would bea general strike of allthe white workmen and Jaborers upon the building, and it would be impossible to find colored stone- cutters to take the place of the strikers. The strike it will be remembered, is not for an increase of wages, but fortwo hours time on Saturday afternoon. Themen have been offered in lieu of this an advance of one dollar per day making their pay $5.50 per per day, but cecline this as they have made their stand on the principle of eight hours for the Saturday's work. pet gs DEATH oF Hon. Isaac NEwTon.—A meeting of the Clerks of the Agricultural Bureau was held in the Commissioner’s room at 10 o’clock this morning. Mr. J. W. Stokes, Acting Com- misstoner, was called to the chair. Mr.C.H. Folwell acted as secretary. Messrs, Grosh, Dodge. and Saunders were appointed a com- mittee to draftand present resolutions of con- dolence. Mr. Grosh, in a few eulogistic re- marke, read the resolutions drawn up by the committee, expressive of the sympathy felt by the members of the Bureau for their late Super- intendent, and declaring their intention to attend bis funeralin a body.
