fotilla. lie expects them to come from the

MIR. WILSON'S sUTLER ABOLiSHING BILL.
The suffers are making great efforts to defeat
Senator Wilson's bill for the protection OF col
d;ers against their extortion. Not satisfied
with personal appeals to members of Congress,
those who have the Suffers pockets at heart,
have prepared Il printed circular for circula
ton in the camps, by which every vender of
gingerbread and grOg is requested and required
to contribute twenty-five dollars TO u fund to
be used to defeat the measure in Congress.
To men who charge five cents piece for
postage stamps, and two cents piece for the
commonest envelopes, this sum is mere baga-
telle.
II has not occurred 10 the friends of the
private soldier to raise money TO help on the
bill, but they have showered upon the Senator
who has moved in this reform letters Of thanks,
and letters enumerating some of the extOrtlOns
they have suffered.
