In smother part Of our paper will be found
she eloquent appeal Of tie U. S. Sanitary
Commission To the Loyal WOmenof Ame-
rlCa." We commend this article to the at
fentiOn Of all our readers. It shows in the
Slssrsst manner the great necessity OF imme-
date concerted setion on the part Of those
who do not go to the battle held, in assisting
the Government in taking care of those who
Do.
It also ezplains the necessity of an orgGni-
EadOn like that Of the Sanitary Commission,
to reform abuses wherever found, in camps
or hospitals.
1t will be seen that the Soldiers Aid SOcie-
ty of Cleveland is mentioned among the Re
lief Associations acting in cooperation with
the Commission. In fact we believe that the
Women's Central Relief Association Of New
York city, and the Soldiers Aid Society OF
Cleveland, are the only organized Societies
in the large cities Of the lOysl States.
We have obtained few facts in regard to
our own Aid Society, which we think of in
teress, as showing what has been and can be
accomplished BY the energy Of its lady man
ayers. Wi hin two months past no less than
sixty smaller towns in Northern Ohio have
formed "Soldiers Aid Societies" and be
come annexed to this one Over forty ship
ments of hospital clothing and stores have
been made TO the various Post and Regiment
al Hospitals in Western Virginia, to Missouri
and Cairo. The intrinsic value of the sup
plies thus sent is upwards Of Eve thousand
dollars, while the value they have been to the
suffering soldiers cannot be computed in dol
lsTs.and cents.
The many letters which have been received
from the grateful recipients Of these dOna-
ions, attest in part to the great good which
is being accomplished IL this way.
We cannot too strongly urge upon our
readers the importance Of aiding this gres
work all in their power. Every town in
Ohio should iorm Society, and go energet-
Ically into the work of assisting the Govern
ment in taking care of the sick and wounded
of our army. TIE Soldiers Aid Society OF
Cleveland, and its managers, where known,
needs no endorsement but we take great
pleasure in Recommending it and them as
worthy of all confidence. The honOred Pre-
sident Mrs. B. Rouse, is one of our Oldest re-
sidents, and IN goodness and benevoIence Of
heart as well as in business abilities, is sec
ond to no woman in America. To our read
ers all over Northern Ohio. We say, send to
Mrs. Rouse for circular Of instructions, and
commepee At once in this labor of love.

FRom WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Oot. y.
The policy of the Government in regard TO
employing foreigners in the military service,
is as follows, the statement being made on
good authority: First = No one has been au-
thorized to enlist or raise troops in Canada,
as has been affirmed to be understood there
Second-No commissions have been offered,
or other Overtures made to military men in
France or other European States, has oeen
assumed there Third-The Government
has not rendered the command of the army
to Gen. Garibaldi, as has hsen reported in
Europe.
What is true is, FIRST, that every foreigner
who has come with a good character and
credentials, and offered his services to the
Government in support of the Union, has
been accepted, and no other is in the militia
ry employment of the Government.
Second, Gen Garibaldi being a naturalized
citizen, it was reported to the Government
by one of our Consuls that the General was
contemplating visit to this country, and
that he had iutimated con6dentially a dispo-
sition to engage in the service of the United
States He was informed that if this WAS
so his services would be accepted with pleas
ure, and be would receive commission as
Major General, being the same rank which
was conferred on Gen. Lafayette in the war
of the Revolution.
Gen. Garibsldi, upon consideration of the
subject, has concluded not to offer his servi-
ces at present but thinks he may by and by
visit the United States.
Hon J. F. Potter, Chairman of the Inves-
tigating Committee of the House of Repre-
sentadves, on the sth INST, called the atten-
ton OF the Navy Department to a statement
in the newspapers that Capt j. H. Monison,
of the steamer Fanny, which was captured
by the rebels off Cape Hatteras, was impris-
oned at Fortress Monroe for refusing to take
the oath of allegiance, ana requested an in
quiry to be made if the statement be true in
whole or in part.
The Department to-day reply as follows:
NAVY DEPARTMENT, oct. 9.
SIR;-Your letter of the sih inst, relative
to the newspaper reports concerning the
master of the steamer Fanny, has been re-
ceived. The steamer alluded to was not at
the time of her capture in the service of this
department and has never been employed by
it and the same may be said of her captain.
This Department has no knowledge of him
whatever, and have no reason 10 suppose
that at the time Of the capture of the Fanny,
not & single person in any way connected
with the navy was on board of her.
Very respectfully, Yours, sc,
GIDEON WELLFS.

Pay for the western virginia TroOps.

We understand there is considerable dis
satisfaction about the apparent neglect of
the troops in Western Virginia, and thar
they have not received ssany pay yet. We
are reliably informed that this is no fault of
Uncle Sam. Four paymssters are now, and
have been for some time past at Wheeling,
Va. waiting for the pay rolls o. the compa-
MES. The Captains in many cases have
drawn their own pay on the regimental pay
on the regimental pay roll, while their men
are suffering from the negligence of their

Grams and Cox have advised the psymasters
not to attempt to go to camp for fear OF being
captured. If this be true, there is little need
of the Captains hurrying themselves in the
workout it ought to be done and the boys
should have somd money.-Stats Journal

THE HATTERAs AerAIR.

WASHINGTON, Oct ..
The Navy Department has received an Off
cial account of the affair near Hstteras Inlet
from commanders of the Susquehanna and
Montice 10. No mention OF the destruction
of rebel steamer, or the disabling of the Fan
ny is made, as was reported by the New York
Herald's correspc cndent Two boats full of
troops going from shore to rebel steamers
were STRUCK with shells and destroyed. The
commander OF the Monticello, st. Braine,
thinks one shot struck the Fanny.
The name of the soldier who escaped after
killing a rebel captain, is Farren @. Haver,
&c H, Goth Indiana regiment.
Another private, Charles White, of Lane
county, was drowned in the surf
Haven states that two OF our shells fell
into two sloops loaded with men, blowing
the vessels to pieces. The slaughter among
the rebels was great and number of OIL
GERS was killed.
When the Monticello ceased firing the
rebels scattered for four miles along the
beach. Six rebel steamers were at one time
of the point. Their shot fell short.
At six this morning Division of Gen.
Smith at Chain Bridge advanced and took a
position near Lewinsville. Afier waiting
three hours inviting an attack, our skirmish-
ers advanced and took possession of LeWins-
vile. The rebels are retreating.
