THE SALVATION ARMY.

(To \ht> Editor of the Evening Star.) „;,,., Siß,,-T-In answer to " t]air Play," I send two clippings of what is proceeding in ...Melbourne with'reference to the above abomination. I think you will do well to publish them, that, in case those people' make their appearance at the Thames, the public may be on their guard, and avoid having anything to do wita them. The Melbourne authorities seem to know, what to do with the pest.—Wiiham Wood.
