An urrenf ApneaI.

The Government makes a direct and urgent
appeal to the public for aid that can only be had
by the voluntary gift of the public There are
fast upon half million troops in the field; the
fall and winter rapidly approaching, and the
army is without supply of blankets. Money
can not buy the blankets, for there are none to
be mad. Quartermaster General MEIes has,
therefore, addressed letter to the public, asking
contributions or the sale of such blankets as can
be spared from family use. Hisappeal says:
The troops in the field need blankets. The
supply in the country is exhausted. Men spring
to arms faster than the mills can manufacture,
and large quantities ordered from abroad have not
yet arrived.
To relieve pressing necessities, contributions
invited from the surplus stores of families.
The regulation army blankets weighs five
pounds; but good, sound wooden blankets wei III
ing not less than four pounds, will be gladly re-
eeiyed at the Offices Of the United States Quar-
termasters in the principal towns OF the loyal
States, and applied to the use of the troops.
To such rs have blankets which they can spare,
but can not afford to give. the full market value
of suitable blankets, delivered as above, will be
paid. NJ. c. MEIGs,
Quartermaster General United States.
New York, Oct. /, 1861.
This is matter wherein almost every family
can do something for the troops, aud we hope all
will try and do whatever they can.

Two Evils i'm fhe WAY.

Contractors and political aspirants are doing
more to retard the efficiency and aggressive
movements of the Federal army than all the
other difficulties combined The first are anxious
for prolonged to make money out of it,
and this they now doing with immense
profits. 1t is the interest of this class and they
WELD great influence, that we should have
large force in the field, the larger the better for
them, and the longer it can be kept in service
the more money they can make. These army
worms fatten upon the misfortunes and miseries
of the country, and they totally Indifferent to
the sum of them so long as as they have profit
able contracts. And this desire to make money
out of the war is very general. But few inquire
how they can aid the government, but on the
other hand the desire is almost universal to find
out how the government can aid them. In a
crisis of the country like the present such spirit
is certainly creditable to the patriotism of the
people, or does it speak well for their loyalty.
The jealousies engendered by political aspirants,
and the wish to make political capital out of the
war, also great stumbling blocks in the way
of its vigorous and successful prosecution. We
dency we have in the army, but it cannot be con-
-cealed that the jealouses of such aspirants have
done much to embarTass its operations. These
men, in their movements, have more regard
for their personal success and popularity than
the triumph of the cause in which they
are or should be interested. 1t is more their
study to advance their personal interests than the
good of the country. Unfortunately, also, there
are very many officers in the army, totally unfit
ted for the places they occupy, who have sought
them as the means of political preierment. They
entered the army not so much from patriotic de-
sire to serve their country and with due regard
to their fitness for that service, as to make
a plea or argument for the Office seeker
There many of this class who have secured
responsible positions in the army through party in
fuence, who not as we'll qualified for the places
they occupy as the men they command If the
Northern army fails to succeed it will be owing
in great measure to sordid army contractors and
the influence they can command, and incompetent
officers. The Government should have sagacity
and energy enough to cut itself loose from the
cornorants who are now seriously embarrassing
it. The hungry crew who have fastened them
selves upon the Public Treasury should be sent
adrift, crushed out, aad every officer who is not
competent for his position should be put where
he Is Or be discharged to private life If the
war is 20 be conducted for the benefit of specu-
lators, the people will get tired of furnish
ing the means to enrich contractors; and if the

mere political aspirants who secure appointments
as stepping stones for civil positions. we can not
look fora vigorous and successful prosecution of
the war, or the accomplishment of the objects for
which il is waged.

An Impracticaf Issue.

The Chicago inns says you must catch your
hare before you eat him, and you must get into the
slave States before you free the negroes. We
have heard Of an old woman who was sorely
puzzled in sudden emergency how to save two
babies and band-box at the same time. She
finally chung to the children and exclaimed that,
eff God had only thought to give her three arms,
she might have saved the handbook Those
who clamor for slave emancipation wish to put
the country in the position of the old woman.
We have both arms full already-as much as we
can do to protect our own borders. How are we
even to send proclamation of freedom to slaves
into the rebel States, much less to confer it upon
them2 The truth is, rapidly drifting into
an utterly impracticable issue-just as we did in
regard to slavery in the Territories We are
trying to eat the hare before we have caught it,
discussing the propriety Of freeing the negroes of
rebels when we have not possession of single
