Aid for the Army.

MEssRs. EDlToRs 1T is the request Of
our society that you will please grant US
space to record somewhat Of It's opera
tions, wishes, and purposes.
We have been engaged in making all
the material we could proeure,-haye
worked for several companies, and afford
ed aid to the limit Of our power,
For the present, our labors for those al
ready in the field are closed, or nearly So
and efforts will be directed to the assist
ance of those companies rsosntly fornfed,
or now forming under the late requisi-
ton. Having but little material on hand,
and knowing how very difficult il is to
procure sufliciency, we are making ar.
rangements to have cloth manufactured
as soon as possible. Several ladies have
kindly consented to have weaving done
as a donation
The society's means are now small, and
each member will have to draw heavily
on her own resources to enabh il to rem
der efficient service. We have enlisted
for the war, however long it may be, and
have no desire to lay down our nipple.
ments of industry until our braYe cham
pions shall lay down their arms,-until
the star of peace glimmers in the dis
tance, and-we are privileged to twino lau-
rel wreaths for the yictor's brow
In view Of these facts, and Of future ex-
igencies, we wish to bring this matter be-
fore the public and invite expressions Of
opinion, or suggestions as TO the best
means Of placing our whole Brigade on a
firm and permanent basis We are will
ing-almost every true Southern woman
is willing to tax her ability to its exEeme
limit but all are aware that most of the
money, either by taxation or subscription
has already been drained for the use of
the army, and has been supplied cheer
fully; but almost everything is now held
at exorbitant prices, and many Of our citi.
zens and negroes have to subsist chiefly
on vegetable diet, and some suffer for
everything that is not really essential to
sustain life know of many such cases
With these facts in view, we dislike to
contemplate the contingency Of cessa-
tion of our labors. Now, il a plan could
be devised by concert of action among the
different societies, to obtain future aid,
and thereby secure the permanence Of
our effective operations, it would cause
our efforts for the soldiers comfort to few
in continuous channel of kindness. We
do not wish to relax our own endOavors,
but only desire to guard the female de-
partment, as our skillful generals try to
secure the brave army, against the posi-
bility Of a defeat
In compliance with the society's wishes
have addressed letter to Governor
Petius on the subject, and invite free
expression of opinion as to the best means
to compass SO important an end

BAKER, or OREGON. The telegraph in
forms us that In the recent fight at Lees
burg Baker, Of Oregon, on the enemy's
side, was killed We believe he held the
rank Of Colonel and was one Of the few
of the virulent and noisy Black Republi-
cafleadors, either in or out Of Congress,
who were found willing 70 participate per
sonally in The war which the triumph Of
their party brought about Those that
could not get into Lincoln's Cabinet,
or secure comfortable civil offices, for
the most part skunk from the brunt Of
war with Sumner and Hale, content to
snuff the battle afar of, but very care
ful to avoid the chance Of being snuifed
out by battle. Baker was an exception,
and that he was so may perhaps be ascrib-
ed 10 the fact that he was an Englshman
and had not graduated in the sublime
philosophy which makes the genuine
Yankee Black Republican as wholesouled
a coward as be is soulless fanatic. As
Senator from Oregon, Baker was the bully
Of the war party in that body. His at
tacks upon Breekinridge were as weak in
logic as ferocious IN sentiment. His fate.
when be tried a different war from one of
words against the South, Is not likely to
encourage other Black Republicans Of
wordy ferocity to follow his example.

MoRr TRoops REQUIRED At wAsHISoros

MORE TROOPS REQUIRED AT W ASHINoT0N.
The Herald's correspondent writes
There should be no cessation Of popu-
lar efforts to stimulate an increase Of tho
army, particularly in adding TO the force
Of this military department. Itshould be
remembered that the forces under Gen.
Dix, at Baltimore and Generals Banks
and Stone, on the uppor Potomac, as we'll
as the army Of observation between the
city and General Banks column and that
along tho lower Potomac, cannot be made
aVailableby General Mcclellan for active
service IN the field. The positions held
by these forces are all important to be
maintained, and in the event of an en-
gagement immedirtely in front Of Wash
ngton the commanding General Wouh not
have al his Disposal near 50 maNv men as Is
generally supposed II IA only proper that
this fact should be known by the public,
by whom the number OF our forces in this
department is excessively oyerrated
This significant paragraph appears in
the letter Of the Fortress Monroe cores
pondent Of the Tribune
Gen. Wool, it is well settled, will re-
main, as BEFORE the commander Of this
department He was summoned 10 Wash
ngton With reference 10 q0airS IN Missouri,
and had hs iatapossed no objection, 'oovld havs
been ordered 70 take command there.
The Erpress makes this admission
II is clear, too clear, that there are not
men enough, either in or about Fortress
Monroe, or in Hatteras inlet The need Of
soldiers, More soldiers, presses from all
sides. The administration Il scolded even
by the republican journals for not moving
troops 10 every weak point, when it is
clear the fault Is with the republicans
themselves, IN not volunteering for the
necessary demand. The government can
not evoke soldiers from the earth, or inn
proYise them on the earth II Newport
News is weak or Hatteras, the people
should be scolded, not the government,
which is courting and inviting men from
Pail sides.

Two SOUTHERN RfGurs Mrs BarTsIY
MURDERED At PADUcAu We are in
formed, upon what we regard as reliable
authority, that last week two prominent
Southern Rights men Of Paduoah were
brutally murdered by the commander OF
the Lincoln troops at that point, for no
crime Of their own, but simply in rotalia-
tion iof the shooting Of some rascal pick
cts near Paduoah. The victims Of the
Lincoln Government were Mr Thomas
Bell and Capt. J. Davis. They were both
shot, and our informant states as posi-.
tive fact that the brutal wretches who
perpetrated the deed first nailed Bell to
the wall with large spikes through the
palms Of his hands and his flesh.

martyrs cries aloud to you for vengeance

MARcnNG AND CAMPING IN WESTERN
VmorSrA.-Tho editor of the Lynchburl
virginian writes from Gen. Floyd's camp
on the sewell, onthe 4th inst
The roads in these mountains are terri
ble- wagons almost impassible-occa-
stoned by the drenching rains which we
have about every other day. All our move
ments. therefore, are obliged 10 be very
slow. II took us a day and a half 70
march from the Bluffs to this place. We
enoamped on Monday night six miles dis
tant, and as our wagons did not get un
with US until late we had to turn our
horses loose to gaze, and throwing few
armgful Of hay into an old deserted shed
by the wayside for our beds, and taking
our blankets for covering the General
and bis staff spent the night supperless.
We had marching orders for five IN the
morning. and left without breakfast,
though I believe. the most Of our men
we're more fortunate. Gen. Floyd makes
it rule never % fare better than his men
and by doing so. gains their undivided
confidence and affection, and inures them
10 all hardships Of the service, Though
he may pitch his headquarters by palace,
he invariably makes his quarters in his
tent. When he restricts the baggage Of
his men, he does the same with himself
and all his officers. When we left the
Bluffs he made them all leave then
trunks and be did the same himself
The order did not accommodate me in the
least, as had already lost mine, and had
nothing to do but amuse myself at the
evident reluctance with which my com
paulons parted with this luxury.

ggg- The telegraph says the Federal
army which has crossed tho Potomac
from Washington is entrenching as 1t
advances, 30 as TO have points OF defense,
We suppose, when it starts to run back to-
wards Washington, and not be compelled
to take a straight run al the way like it
did on the 2lst Of July. Mcclellan seems
to think that the way to subjugate and
hold the South, is to build forts all over
it. Whenever he has been permitted to
alyance a mile, he has made his men cut
down the forests, and throw up entrench-
nents IF he has thus to fortify the coun-
try and to dig his way from Washington
to New Orleans, it will prove a heavy job.
Besides. where will he find men TO hold
all his fortsg The grand army will
soon be divided up into garrisons, and
there will be nobody to raise the cry Of
Onward"
