PhiIRdelphia's Manner OF Doing
Things.

! graphic lnat we eau resist the temptation
to publish it. 1t is from the n. Y. Tribune
On Friday last it was discovered that o..
900 uniforms for our volunteers must bt
supplied by the State, and orders were a
once issued for making them. The empty
Girard House was rented, an army of cut
ters employed, cloth furnished by merchants
at mere nominal prices, and our women
taking fire at the call, came by thousands to
offer their help to make up. No such sight
was ever seen. The large building is now
flied with ladies, wives of our best citizens,
with their daughters, working all day on
coats and blankets, aided by an army OF
sewing machines. At least 1000 persons,
mostly ladies, are now at work, aided by
100 cutters. Ladies come from all parts,
town and country, volunteering to take
home work, and Chestnut street is fairly
blocked up with these patriotic women
seeking to do something for the cause. The
work thus goes bravely on. Another in
cident of the time is the organizing of a
body of some 300 women as nurses, ex-
/ perienced hands, who intend going with
/ the troops, to take care of the sick and
wounded. Most of these are young women
/ in robust health. This same anxiety to aid
| the cause appears in all the neighboring
! towns. In short, the spectacle of people
/ so united has probably never been seen.
| The general enthusiasm breaks forth in
multitude OF novel shapes. Boys are ped
I ding Union Flags mounted on sticks in all
our thoroughfarss and from their hands
they find their way into all the neighbor-
ing towns, where they hang from windows
and doorposts. Men walk our streets under
umbrellas made of material printed with
the Stars and Stripes. The first who showed
himself under such a banaer was greeted
with cheers as he moved along. Union
parasols of printed silks are coming out for
the ladies. Four hundred girls in one of our
public schools have each contributed stitches
in a huge flag, and raised il on the school
house amid tremendous cheering. The
women are working laboriously for the vol
unteers and their families, whom they leave
behind them. They are preparing a recep-
ton and sword for General WOOL if he will
halt long enough on his passage through
the city, to receive them. One lady has
smuggled herself in as a volunteer along
side her husband, dressed in a suit of his
clothes, and passing as his brother. Others,
unmarried, have offered themselves as vi
