Nssszs. Editor: Under the head Of
Something Wrong" in yesterdays issue
of your paper, yoa unwittingly. believe,
do the HObio authuri,ies' great injustice.
You say that. recently tro men from
Bridgeport enlisted 10 Capt. Fishers com
pany, at Camp Garlic. with the understand
ing that their families were to be support
ed from the funds appropriated by the au-
thorities for that purpose" and that 'the
Ohio authorities now refuse TO give the
wives Of those men anything because they
enlisted in Virginia" Now, as this matter
has been made a subject of complaint
agninst our authorities, not only by Jour
selves, but by your Governor, il deserves
some notice.
a laE OF our State, enacted last spring,
authorized the County Commissioners Of
any county 10 levy tar for the relief Of
1.-The Ohio Volunteer Militia" Under this
law our Commissioners very properly de-
cided that they could not use this fund for
the benefit OF any others than the families

distribution Of said fund, here and at Mar
tinsvilIe. These agents gave full notice of
this decision more than six weeks ago, so
that II the men you mention bad any other
| i'understandingf' It was not the fault of
the H0hiO authorities"
Its true that IL makes no difference to the
country at large, where man volunteers,
so he IS in the United States service, but
an Ohio man in Virginia regiment is not
a portion of the "Ohio Volunteer Militia,"
aud so does not come within the provisions

sequence Of an assurance given them by
Senator Carlile, in speech made at Mar
tinsTille some Eve or six weeks ago, that

families, but would "seek them out"
This from so prominent Virsinian, was
relied upon rs at least semi-ofieial. If
Ohio aud Pennsylvania furnish Virgiuia's
quota of troops, and leave Virgiuians at
home to pursue their usual vacations and
accumulate wealth, ought not these Yirgi-
mans, who are fighting by proxy, to con-
tribute something for the privileged There
| is no difficulty about finding the families
of your soldiers, as, IL you will indicate
the place where relief may be had, they
will find you. will only add, that the
disbursing agent for the commissioners
here, through private subscription. has
furnished relief 70 the very families you
mention, so late as Saturday last, although
he could NOT do it from the public fund.
II IS entirely the fault Of your own re-
Grating officers aud those assisting them,
that these volunteers have been deceived.
have no doubt but that Ohio will provide
for these families, if need be, by further
legislation, before they will be allowed TO

hair, clustering in thick curls abOut>her

she is considered one of the most accom-
