WAR MATTERS.
AN APPEAL TO CIScrNNATrANs.


Regiment who arrived in this city last night, !
says large proportion of his men are greatly /
in need of blankets. The regiment has not |
yet been supplied with overooats. If our
citizens feel disposed to contribute blankets
or heavy quilts for the relief of these men,
and will leave them at the Burnet House to-
day or tomorrow, the Doctor will take
charge of them and see that they are properly
distributed.
THE GOVERNORS GUARDS.
Charles H Sergeant, of our city, has been
| appointed Colonel of the Fifty second Regi.
ment George Finch is strongly urged for a
field officer in the Fifty.second.
ORDERED EAST.
Brigadier. General Burns, late Captain and
| Commissary at Cincinnati, has been ordered
to the Potomac.
CogNTERMANDED.
The transfer of Colonel Smith from the
| Forty fourth to the Forty.third Regiment
| has been countermanded.
THE GYMNASIUM LIGHT GUARD.
The members of this company have tend
cred their services to the Government for the
war.
FORTY. FOURTH REGIMENT.
Fitzgerald, of New York, a West Point
graduate, has been appointed Colonel of the
| Forty-fourth Regiment, encamped at Camp
Clark, Springfield, o. The regiment is full
and expects marching orders.
THE sIxTY-NlNTH OHIO.
Jas. r. Challen, Esq, of this city, has
been appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the
Sixty. ninth Ohio.
AN EXAMPLE.
We notice by late Boston papers that
Colonel Eben W. Stone, Assistant Quarter
master General, has been discharged from
his office becsute he had received commits
| sions for his private use on contracts and
purchases which had been made in that de-
partment. If the same stringency was OBJ
served in the Western division of our army,
we think q number of Assistant Quarter
master Generals woHld be deprived of their
title and Office.
NINETEENTH OHIO REGIMENT.
We learn that the Nineteenth Regiment,
now at Camp Ford, Alliance, Stark County,
is nearly full, lacking less than one hundred
to make up its complement. This regiment
'' and its officers are very highly spoken of.
| Quite a number of three months men who
who were under Colonel Beatty in Western
, Virginia have re-enlisted under their brave
I Colonel, who led them to victory at Rich
Mountain. W. II. Burke, Esq, of Canton,
z has been appointed Quartermaster.
TREATMENT OF INDIANA TROOPS.
dispatch has been received at the Exec
r utive Office from General Reynolds, stating
t that the clothing forwarded for Indiana
troops in Western Virginia, by Governor
= Morton, had begun to come to hand. His
I. Excelepcy is determined to remedy the
e shortcomings if not the positive neglects, oi
/. the General Government so far as Indiana
volunteers are concerned, let them be face to
Q face with the enemy in what portion Of the
II country they may. Robert Dale Owen, now
y in New York, a day or two since, purchased
J overcoats for the Nineteenth Indiana Regi-
II ment at Washington, and the Twentieth
l. which was engaged in the late fight neal
u Hatteras Governor Morton has directed
e him to purchase all he can get.
n We commend the foregoing to Governor
% Dennison. No troops in Western Virginil
are so poorly clothed as the Ohio men.
our Governor would adopt some of Governo
f. Morton's energy, the constant cry for cloth
j. ing from our men would soon cease.
n SIXTEENTH OHIO REGIMENT.
y This regiment, encamped at Camp Tifiu
a Wooster, Wayne County, is fast filling up
- Lieutenant Colonel Bailey, an energetic OF
4. fcer. Captain Smith, formerly OF tn
le Guthrie Grays Of this city, is Adjutant @
,e the regiment.
c. GOOD MOVEMENT.
The military authorities of the State hav
decided to attach battery of artillery
ne each of our brigades. This will add som
g. seventy-two guns to the present numbe
ID and will place about one hundred, perhaE
Ia one hundred and twenty-five, rifled canno
le in the field from Ohio.
