The Belmont Mills Subscription I o the
Volunteer Fund.

On our first page to-day we print copy of
the last day or two at the Belmont Iron
subscription started and filed up within
Works, with view of affordiug relief to
the families of those gallant men who
have shouldered arms ard gone from our
midst to serve their country in the field.
The sum subscribed amounts to the hand
some figure OF $9ls, an amount which is
in the highest degree creditable to each
and every one of the managers and EN-
ployees of that excellent and prosperous
establishment. Such AN example of gen
crosby is worthy of public commentator,
and it is to that end, and with the view,
and in the hope, of stirring up others to
emulate this example that we publish the
subscription list in full in our columns.
The soldiers in the field. when they see
this list, will pronounce it worth a thous-
and fine speeches, and their families will
be still better pleased with it. Acts like
these tell on the feelings of soldiers.
They begin to feel that they have friends
and home and country worth fighting
for. They see that they have left those be-
hind them who will look to their dearest
cares.and interests in their absence, and
seeing this, they have more heart and
strength and warmth for their duties.
Their step will be livelier, their looks
brighter, their patriotism more enthusiastic,
their sleep sweetcr, their courage more
buoyant, when they see it. Their whole
morals as men and rs soldiers, will be ele-
waited.
We trust that this praisworthy example
is but the entering wedge-that others
will follow in generous succession. Sure
Iy, the people of Belmont Mills are but
specimens of our good little city, and of
what shcis doing and will do in the way of
public,and private charity for the cause
of the soldiers of the Republic.
War is a costly calamity. Both in arms
and in the workshops, the Offices, the
banks and the most private pocket, it
tries the stuff of which men are nude.
Money must come by taxation and cOutri
button. Our country is to be served not
less by money than by powder. shot and
she'll Those who do not fight cannot do
less than pay. And it is right rs it will
become imperative, that every member of
every community should bear his equita-
bic proportion of the public burthen. Let
US do our share willingly and freely.

FLoTDs quarrel with Wise and his par
tisnns is extremely amusing to the specta-
tors. 1t is one of those cases where each
side is strong in the weakness of the other;
and where neither party has any occasion
to exceed the limits of truth in order to
put his opponent in the worst and most
ridiculous light. Wise has, however, this
advantage in the war OF words, that he
has, we believe, never been convicted of
larceny, while Floyd stands before the
world an indicted thief. That is what
makes his affected anxiety about his
"character" so extremely diverting. The
case reminds the Boston Post of that OF

was thus described in an epigram:
"Julia is much concerned, God wot,
