wOyyAN,s WORK.

We fear that one Of the most pressing
wants of the army is being overlooked in the
great excitement Of aiming and equipping our
gallant volunteers. If the Traitors of the South
make good their boasts that they will attack and
rout our Northern armies, general engagement
may soon be expected. Of course, great many
men must be killed and wounded. The lives of
many of the wounded may be saved if they re.
ceiyo prompt and proper surgical attention.
Their wounds must be dressed, their sick beds
must be watched and tended, and their obbing
strength be recruited with broths, wine and
other hospital stores. Every mother who has a
sOn in the patriot army; every wife whose bus
band has left her arms; every sister whose
brother has rushed TO the support of his coun-
try's flag; every maiden whose lover has gone to
the field, should set.to work at once and pre-
pare lint ard bandages from the old linen she
has or can obtain. No ono knows but tina. the
bandagc she tears may bind the arm of her own
dear one, or the lint she scrapes staunch the
liie.blOod that flows from his severed limb. II,
perchance he escapes harm, aud returns home
safe and sound, some other woman's husband,
son, brother, or lover who has shown
an equal patriotism aud equal courage, will
be the gamer by her thoughtful labors. DR..
Crawford Of Fort Sumter truly said at the meet
ing Of Physicians yesterday, that the society they
have just organized to collect and forward lint
bandages, adhesive plaster, splints and hospital
stores, is the most important that could be de.
vsed at this junciure. Societies and social cir
clcs should be formed at once to engage in this
holy work, as long as Northern blood is flowing,
and Northern soldiers lie helpless in hospital.
Let fashionable pa'ties be abandoned, and eI.
pensye fashiOpable dresses be eschewed while
there is the dreadful possibility that half the
families Of this city viii mourn the death Of
members Before the year is out. Let men aud
women who have money which would only be
wasted in folly, place portion at least in the
hands Of Committees to buy the little comforts
that our noble soldiers will not otherwise have
in camp and hospital. And above all let at least
one hundred noble, courageous, efficient women,
who dare brave bullets aud pestleuce, engage in
the sublime work Of nursng the Sick and minister.

Gov. Hicks, in mis- message to the Legislature
of Maryland, proposes that that State should re-
main neutral in the present war. His idea of
neutrality is that all United States troops should be
excluded from Baltimore, while Robert and Thomas
Winans manufacture steam cannon and other
implements of destruction to be used elsewhere
against the defenders Of the Stars aud Stripes
while Marshal Kane converts the police of Balt-
more into train-band of treason, and while the
whole city gives instant aid and comfort to the
conspirators, who are endeavoring to overthrow
the Government and plunge the country into more
anarchy than WAS ever witnessed in Mexico.

let ys RRpEAT THE OATH.

We have had xepeated rnmnrs brought TO nnr
notice within few days, to the effect that it
is quite possible and even probable, that there
are officers and men in the Navy at this station
who syupaihze with the Secessonists, and would,
upon a favorable opportunity, go over to their
cause. Nay, it is even said that there is one
ships crew and officers so far on that side that
they are actually watching for the earliest chance
10 60. We know not how much foundation
there may be for such stories; but they
are circulated, and apparently believed, by the
most careful and responsible parties. Now, to
put an end to all doubts, and TO separate the
goats from the sheep, let us have the oath of al
lcgiance OF once administered TO every man in
the Government service. The men who are
true will certainly not only make no objection,
but will be glad Of the opportunity of publicly
declaring their obligations to the stars and
stripes; the few traitors if such there be, will
be smoked out, and the uneasinesS in the public
mind will be quoted. Let us have the oath, aud
that speedily.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The Second As
ssitant PostmasteIGen Dundas died
this morning after protracted illness.
Mr. Holt took formal leave of the Post
Office Department this morning, to as
sumo the duties of his new office-the
War Department.
Ten of the Virginia Congressman have
issued an address to the people of Vir-
ginia, reviewing the proceedings and pro-
bable action of Congress. They say it is
vain to hope for any measure of concili-
atior or adjustment from Congress, which
the people of Virginia could honorably
accept. They are satisfied that the Re
publican party design by civil war alone
to coerce the Southern seeding States,
under the pretext of enforcing the laws,
unles. it shall become speedily apparent
that the seeding States are so numerous,
determined and united as to make such
attempt on their part hopeless. The adj
dress concludes by expressing the solemn
conviction that prompt and decided action
by the people Of Virginia in Convention
will afford the surest means, under Provi-
dence of God, for averting the impending
civil war, and preserving the hope of a
reconstruction of the Union, which is
already dissolved.
