The Salvation Army.
The Herald's San.Francisco correspondent says it is composed of a vast number of men (frauds I call them), who appear on the streets by two's and three's, exhorting the p; ople to holiness, and screaming, out psalms at the top of their voices. Their i'avorite place of rendez TOUS is pppqsite the What Cheer House, a somewhat low ho3telry, and the Overland, ditto,: ditto. ; Any. Sunday you may find one of the troop there, sometimes in petticoats by way of bringing jjjkwa contempt and ridicule on God?^rord; I have never yet discovered whit particular sins out of the common are being committed within the walls of these two houses that they should be so Inflicted week after week. But so it stands. Disgraceful are the scenes sometimes en* acted by lively scoffers, who get np fights, offtimes in which the yelling " Salvation soldiers" frequently participate. It would appear that there are frauds enough in consecrated places to do away with these ignorant creatures who thus bring shame to the Christian faith. "
