B17wHAT Qua SICK soIDIeRs NRRD.
It Is, perhaps, a very difficult matter for
those who are collecting hospital supplies
to obtain those article which are really
necessary, and at the same time refuse
those things which are not needed Some
persons have strange ideas in regard TO the
wants OF the sick. furnishing jeliies, pre-
serves, etc, which are of little or no bsnc-
ftto healthy stomaehs, much less to those
that are weakly. Let our ladies, as far asi
possible, devote their energies 10 obtaining
articles of comfort rather than diet-blank-
cts, shirts, drawers, slippers, socks. All.
that is essential to the diet of the sick can
be usually obtained on the surgeons order
from the regimental commissdry. Maya
Zines, newspapers, and books, especially
those to form "hospitaI library will be
highly appreciated by the soldier WHEN

bed or to the wards irksome. Chequers
and boards, backgammon, and now and
then chessmen, win also prove valuable. q

nS-THE Ninth PENNSYLVANIA CAVALRY,

byn splendid band, which played brisk

there was no announcement of the coming

the steamers hove in sight, and the cheers
of the people were answered from the

Many of them are almost old enough to
have a vote, while we found several of
them hopelessly broken down, and all OF
them so low in Aesh as, in their present
condition, to be whollyiunfit for service.
Indeed, we were informed that there were
not few blind chaps among them, but We
failed TO discover any such Ourself Max
ingall allowance for theusedsup appearance
of the horses, the result OF what they must
have suffered in their transit here, we do
not believe they would bring an average
Of $50 each in any horse fair In the United
States; yet if the truth were known we
have no doubt it would be found that they
have cost the Government at least 500.
The inspector who passed these horses
needs looking after. They are the worst

A SUGGESTION WORTH CONSIDERING.
A writer in the St. Louis Republican,
under date of the 9th ult., says:
1t occurs to me that an amendment
to the constitution of the United States,
like the following would put a veto on
sectional parties and platforms:
AMENDMENT.
No candidate for the Presidency or
Vice Presidency Of the United States
shall be declared elected unless he shall
have received the electoral vote Of at
least one slaveholding State.
With this amend zen to the consti-
tuition, the South would be assured thai
Mr.. Lincoln will be ,h3 last sectional
President Of the United States. The
South would be assured that all future
Presidents Of the United States would
be national men, that they would have
to stand upon national pla:forms-plat-
forms upon which shareholders could
stand AS well As men Of the free States.
The slaveho!l;ng States would be as
sured that they are not o be a spurned
aud down-rodden minority.

TUE Provisional GOVERNMENT
The deep booming Of the guns on Sat
urday last from the garrison, announced
the formation of the Provisional Govern
ment at Montgomery. Hon. JEFF DAY.
IS, Of Mississippi, was chosen President,
and Hon. ALEX. II. STEPHENS, of Geor
gia, Vice-President. The news gave
great satisfaction in this part of the coun-
try, more perhaps from the fact hat the
seeded States had organised a govern
ment than from any great popularity Of
the gentlemen chosen Tor Il e highest
Offices. Both, however, are good aud
talented msn-men inawhom the South
can place the utmost confidence. With
many others, we think their positions
should have been reversed. As It is. It
has the appearance Of the kangaroo Or
der-the strongest legs behind. Still are
we content, for the Convention could have
selectea men far less satisfactory to the
South. The Convention has gone to
work in earnest to form a government,
using the Constitution o: the United
States as a basis, in which we hope they
will be cordially sustained by all good
and loyal Southerners.

interesting leader on the American CRISIS.
The writer evidently approaches thu
lconclusicn that the South is IN earne>l
IN her resolve to Withdraw completely
and forever from the old Federation
and. assuming this, We are favored with
some fine gene,a';zing Of the Southern
Confrderacy. We copy the following
extract from this portion OF the article
Such an event cannot be regar ed

aboli,irnist. 1t would, III fact, make the

ton or Philadelphia nigh be dist'n-
guished for their ability and enterprise,
but they would belong to a country with
hardly a greater futu + than Canada
Every natural advantage would be on
the side of the slave States.
Look at the map, and you will see
what a narrow slip Of country composes
the free soil Of the American federation.
Only the sea coast from the British from
t,er TO the Delaware-a few hundred
miles-beI tngs to it; all the rest stretch
no far away down the Atlantic aud
along down the Gulf Of Mexico, is in
the hands Of slaveowners. The mouth
Of the Mississippi is theirs; the Missouri
aud Arkansas, the great arts rles OF the
extreme West, are %,,.eirs. Virginia push
es a p u Of territ " to within less :bar
a hundred miles of Lake Erie, and thus
divides the Atlantic free States from the
West in a manner highly dangerous t"
their futnra union. Indeed it is doubtful
whether the connection between New
York and New England on the ORE
hand, and Illinois aud the %neighboring
S,atas on the other. could long survive
The total separation of the South.
The North would have a terri DRY a
Struggling as that of Prussia. and the
Western region would sonn fluid it adj
vantayeous to dissolve its union with the
Eastern. In the meantime al! the riches
of the New World would be in the
grasp Of the Southerners. Instead OF
exploring the inhospitabIe regions n the
neighbo,hond of the British frontier,
which would be all that remained to the
North. the stAvpOwners would carry then
"undeniabie property" INFO lands b essed
with every advantage Of climate, SOIL
and mineral wealth. Texas has terr-
tory enough to make three or four grea,
States. New Mexico Is about to be adj
mitted with slave Institutions. Ariz IVA
will follow. Mexico must in a few yeas
be conquered, and the Southe'ners. lords
of the most magnificent domain in the
world, would control The passage be
