GARLANpsvILIr, July End. l86l.

GARLANDsvILLE, July 22nd, 1851.
MEssRs. EDIToRs The ladies of Gar
landsville and the surrounding neighbor-
hood have formed a society for the re-
lief of our soldiers, who have so nobly
left their homes and families, to defend
our country. They are now in the tented
fields and on the battle grounds, perling
their hearts blood in the defence Of our
once happy country. They have left all
that is near and dear to them, forthe pur-
pose Of defending our rights, liberties, and
honor, from the hand Of lawless foe.
May an all wise Providence protect and
save them from injury, and preserve them
unhurt, from the hands Of the enemy.
1t is not expected that ladies should take
the sword and rifle in hand and march to
the battlefield. But there are many
things that we can do, and ought to do
cheerfully, and no doubt they will be
done. Work, make clothes of every de-
scription, bedding, &C., &c. This should
be done without delay, and for that noble
purpose we have formed ourselves into a
society at this place. We are still anx-
ious for more members to join our socie-
ty. We also solicit donations of every
description in goods purchased or made
by our own hands, or the raw material,

Our soldiers v.l soon ara, IN want of all
w6 can make.
The winter Is coming on and they win
want warm clothing to protect them from
thecoId weather. Then we ask all to
give u the.eaiin the matter We win
thankfully receive cloth for pants, shirts,
drawers; also socks, shoes, handkerchiel
towels. or any thing ,hat can be converted
into money, OF goods chat we can use for
tie benefit 81 our soldiers. We would
also be thankful to all those that have it,
to send what money they can spare, that
we may purchase such articles as we want
for this purpose.
This invitation to Join our enterprize is
to all, but especially to the adjoining
counties. For there are many brave heart
edsoldiers now enlisted for the war, and
are now on the tented field to protect our
homes and lives from the ldwless hands
Of our enemy. Many Of them have no
wife, mother, or sister, to furnish them
with those things that they really stand
in need of, to make them comfortable
Then it is our duty to render them; to-
gether with our husbands, children, broth
ers and relatives, as comfortable as it i.
in our power TO do.
Then let il be our united effort to eflect
this great object. We hope none win be
backward in this matter You can make
your donations to the committee who has
been appointed to receive donations, or t
either of the officers of the society, or tc
the society in person. We will be thank
ful for donations for this purpose.
Our society meets every Wednesday
morning at the Methodist Church, in
Charlottesville, at Q o'clock.
