Our friends in the country who wish to con-

any person wishing to contribute, has been
overlooked by the Committee, they can hand
their subscriptions to the Committeeman

The Committees for the Eighth Ward and
the suburbs were not prepared to report,
and every committee has more or less to
collect in each Ward. The total subscrip-
viii doubtless reach 50, 500.
The following gentlemen, with Mayor
Baker as chairman, form the sub-commit-

of the funds: lst ward, A. c. Hallock; I'd

The Eighth ward is not yet represented on

mitteeman representing the ward in which

found, and some of these were suffering for

Tint National Cause.

The following manly article is from the
Boston Transcript, one of the best of New
England journals:
Either from little better comprehension
of its grave duties, or from solicitnde in re-
gard to the present position into which il
has allowed itself to drift, with almost I'M
accountable dilatoriness, the Government is
giving indications of being more in earnest
and showing a reader disposition to meet
the claims of the couRtry for vigorous action
heretofore wanting in its conduct of affairs.
The hope may therefore be entertained that
it will keep to a forward movement and by
degrees grant all the people shall require as
to its composition and policy. Cherishing
this hope as far as facts will allow, and as
another crisis, so to speak, has arisen, let
the people on their part be more ready than
ever, if that be possible, to meet the emer-
gency.
IL would be waste of words to argue
what has been demonstrated again and
again, that there is no retreat from the
contest in which we are engaged, and that
we must put down the instruction and pre-
serve the Union entire for, until this is eff
fected, any peace or even truce would be not
| only foul disgrace, but the beginning of in
| initely worse troubles thon those yet expe-
rienced; the Inauguration, in fact, of des-
potic principles; the sowing of the seeds of
| perpetual strife; and possibly the over
| throw of republican institutions on this
continent. Consequently the plain duty be-
fore US must be done; and done ear
nestly and thoroughly, for the reason that its
magnitude and its difficulties are clearer than
ever From the supineness and strangely
| blind confidence of the Government, and
! from other causes, the formidableness of the
| rebellion has been more or less moderated
and hence want of adequate preparation
of means to meet it. This must be confess
| ed, though the confession be not hattering
to the sagacity of our rulers or our own.
But there is no excuse for ignorance now.
Our eyes have been forced open. The re-
| bellion th-e,ters to become invasion; and
instead Of mp!y fighting to put it down,
we may be be called upon, for a brief sea-
son, to fight to some extent in selfdefence.
All things considered, this is ground for re-
| ioicing, rather than Encouragement for
the task before US stands out at last distinct
in it's full dimensions; and, of course, we
- and shall be equal to it. Only we
must be up and dong; putting ali pat
riotie enthusiasm into energetic deeds, and
brave endurance
The unity and activity-the directness o.
aim and determination to leave unused nc
available instrumentalities-w have
marked the course of the rebels, must mark
that of the loyal people also. The bad
cause must not be more zealously conduct
ed than the good cause; and the good
| cause must have the devotion of all heart.

and bless it with victory.

INA BAD FIx.-The publisher of the Pc
tersburg Reporter announces the suspe nsion
of that paper, except as an advertising sheet.
1t will be acknowledged, from the following
extract, that he. is in trouble:
The time was when a publisher could
borrow money enough to buy him few
bundles of paper with, and could pay his
hands through advertising with merchants.
But each of these chances are entirely cut
off. We cannot borrow money, for there is
uone to borrow. We cannot pay our hands
through advertising, for every merchant in
the place has ceased to advertise, except one,
who will follow the rest shortly, and have,
at the same time closed down our credit
So what are we to do We cannot get
anything on credit, we cannot collect any
thing, and we have no capital to rely on,
therefore we must confess ourselves in a
perplexing situation

"BABY VoLUNTEER.-The Indianap-
lis Journal gives the following description
of Hoosier boy in Camp Morton:
He is six feet seven inches in height and
weighs over two hundred and forty pounds.
While lying fat on his back on the ground
he defes four ordinarily well muscied men
to prevent him from rising to his feet. He
is one oft the NEST powerful men, muscularly,
we ever saw. A regiment of such, with
short swords, in a close contest, would be
worse than so many grizzly bears, or goril-
las, with their teeth and claws. This pri-
Vate represents some $50, 900 of property,
and goes into the fight for the love of it,
or patriotism.

IMPORTANT CoETRACT.-We noticed, sew
eraI weeks ago, that the saddlers of this
city had procured from the State contract
for the equipment of two companies of cav
airy. Few persons have any adequate idea
of the amount of labor required to manu-
fscture these outfits. The contract calls for
one hundred and fifty -eight 'sMcClellan ed
dies, with saddle-bags, girth, crupper, stir
rups, straps, sweat feathers and carbine
socket" The same number of brides with
curb bit and curb, watering brides, halters
surcingles, horse brushes, curry combs
picket pins, lariat ropes, hitching straps and
nose bags. The bits were made in the city,
and are superior to the sample furnished by
the govern ment; in fact the whole work is
pronounced by judges, to be in every respect
superior to the articles furnished By the
government as patterns. The manufacture
of these outfits has given employment to
scores of men who would otherwise have
been idle, and it is hoped that the Depart
ment will give our mechanics contract for
tHa equipment of regiment. The firm
<aat-1es -: - :: I--~--.-, nc 7 p ErrIoTr
h Co., and we are told by Mr.. Elliott that
they are prepared to execute work of this
character in as short time and in as sub
stantial manner, and at as low a figure as
any city in the Union. The furnishing
the saddles and brides has been delayed,
owing to the difficulty of procuring mill
tary trimmings. They will, however, be
ready at the contracted time.
Since the 9th of August, the saddle-trees
have been manufactured in st. Louis, ship
ped to this point, and almost finished. This
activity on the part of the contractors
should recommend them to the Department,
and We have no doubt that when these out
FITS are received and inspected, the firm will
be authorized to manufacture the equip
ments for regiment. The work is receiv-
ing the finishing touches at the establish
ment Of loft & Long, and We advise our
citizens, interested in such matters, to in
spect the work before it is sent to Indian
apolis.

A wELL-DEsERvED CoMPLIMENF.-The
Cairo correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing to that paper on the goth ult.
speaks of the splendid gun made by the en-
ployees of the E. & c. Railroad Company
in this city, as follows. We commend it to
the State authorities at the Capital, who
seem to think nothing can be done west of
Cincinnati:
The steamer Charley Bowen, the regular
nail packet between here and Evansville
got in on time yesterday morning. Capt
Dexter, of this boat, is strong Union man
brave and dehant-and the villains at
Paducah have uttered some ugly threats
against him and his boat. He has all along
regularly landed at that place, the stars and
stripes invariably floating at the boats
masthead; and woe be unto any piratical
gang in any way interfering with that flag
The crew of the boat are every one armed
to the teeth, and hundred men could not
capture her. On yesterday, Capt. Dexter
succeeded in getting thirty old muskets at
our headquarters, which, together with
those he was already provided with, make
a complete equipment of over sixty guns,
with which the crew of the Charley Bowen
propose to defend their boat. Then the Cap
tain has been provided with splendid
steel barrel rifed cannon, by the citizens of
Evansville. This gun is one of the most
finished pieces of workmanship have ever
seen. 1t was made in Evansville-at some
foundry thereof the very best quality of
hardened metal. 1t is of an altogether new
and original model-a northumberland
will carry ball with accuracy, over three
miles. The boys of the Bowen know how
to use the gun, and you may go your all
that they will use it to a purpose, if the
occasion offers.
