Ladies' .Soleliers Hid oociety.-We had the
pleasure yesterday of meeting Mrs SIM
MONS, Of Clinton, Iowa, who has, for the
past three months been engaged as nurse in
the hospital of the Tenth Illinois Regiment
at Cairo. She haze been commissioned by
Mrs. Y ArEs to canvass this State and repre-
sent the condition Of the hospitals of our
sick and wounded soldiers, especially to the
ladies'. The lady informs us that our hospi.
tails generally ale much in need Of the hbcr-
atty of private individuals. Now that it is
winter there is pressing necessity for blank
cts, sheets, pillow cases, and such like arti.
Giles, for hospital usc Clothing, to keep the
sick warm, is what is needed -delicacics,
other than what can be obtained from Gov
eminent, can be dispensed with. The well
soldiers, says the lhdy, are needing but little
except in the way of mittens. Mrs. s. met
number of The ladies Of this place yester-
day afternoon at the residence Of Mr. Isaac

work Of charity necessary for every commu-
nifty to assist in carrying on. We sincerely
hope that the ladies of this place may at once
form a general Soldiers Aid Society and

energetically and judciously, thereby being
instrumental in saving many lives, and add
ing comfort to The sad condition of the sick
