eyr 1t looks little novel, to say the least,
10 see the Burlington democratic Sentinel
defending the present administration against
the N. Y. Tribune and Times, who have,
especially the latter, made unjust attacks,
charging the President with want Of vigor'
1t should be borne in mind that the people
can think much faster than it is possible to
move great armies, and we therefore agree

Patriotic Reneyolence.

A young lady of Boston, whose father
had given her twenty dollars for the pur-
chase of new silk dress, learning yester-
day through the Journal, that some of the
troops were in want Of clothing, Immediate
ly changed her purchase to a nine-penny
calico, and sent the balance OF the money
eighteen dollars) to Governor Andrew, to
be expanded in fitting out needy soldiers.
1t is computed that if the ladies of the free
states would cut down their expenses one
half, they would nearly pay the expenses of
this war. 1t would very soon be more
honorable to our fashionable ladies to be
seen in the street in a nine-penny calico
than in the most splendid MORE antique that
Summer street can supply. We hear of
numbers of them who, while the war lasts,
mean to wear the most modest attire at
church and in the street, thus setting pat
riotic example to those less able, though not
less ambitious, to dress extravaganily.-
The noble appeal of Captain Forbes, who
purposes to send his useless plate to the
mint for the public service, finds response
in the heart of our women as well as of
our men. We shall soon see similar dis
position made of many useless ornaments.
Boston Journal
AT a public meeting in this place a few
evenings since, f. c. Redington, Esq, re-
lated the above incident, and in his forcible
manner called upon the ladies present TO
initiate this patriotic, benevolent example.
We hope one result of this war will be to
do away with extravaganza of dress in both
sexes. If it only becomes fashionable to
dress eheaply mine of wealth will be
saved to this nation to invest in some laud-
able enterprise.-.S. Johnsbu,y Calddonian.
We say amen to the above which is just
as good for this latitude as any other.

War PIC Nj. at EsIehYiIIc.

On Saturday of last week, the ladies gave
a picnic which was very fully attended. A
procession was formed, and headed by y

livered by G. A. Davis, Esq. II was a
fine production filled with patriotism and
eloquence. Mr.. Davis evinced knowl-
edge of the present condition of our coun-
try and its prospects highly worthy oil the
most learned statesman.
After the address, the assemblage re-
paired TO the table which had been spread
by the generosity Of the ladies, with every
thing that is tempting to the eye and palate.
After the delicacies OF the table had been
thoroughly discussed, the following ioasts
were read by DR.. J. p. Osborne, the toast
master of the occasion:
The american Flag-May it ever wave
over free and happy America--with no star
blotted out by traitors.
Responded TO by Miss Calista White,
with an appropriate poem. Music, The
Star Spanged Banner"
Tile Ladies Of FeIcheiHe.
Mr. A. White responded as follows 1--WE
respect them for their many noble qualities,
and their disinterested patriotism,-w
thank them for their tempting entertainment
and we lore them because zoe can't help H."
In behalf of the ladies, Mrs. DR.. Os-
borne remarked, " We thank you for your
compliments, and hope you will remember
that if you would win our loce and admtra-
lion you must first prove yourselves aoorthy
by your willingness to exercise the bravery
of your hearts, and the strength of youi
arms in the defense of our noble Union"

Responded to by G. A. Davis, Esq.
En- Gen. 7ioiggs--The traitor who de
serted in the day of his country's peril
may the t,0ig from which he is hung, b
more substantial than the 7tciggs hung on il
