Hon. THos. w. FERRY: We have
now in the employment Of our Associa-
ton three ladies, who devote their entire
time to visiting and caring for our sick
and wounded men in hospitals-the value
Of whose labors can not be estimated.
The ladies must be paid for their services.
We have agreed to pay them their actual
expenses, which can not be much less
than $50 per month, for each; but for
even this amount We must DO dependent
upon our people at home. These ladies
deserve and should have a reasonable
compensation for their arduous labors.
Ionia County has agreed to keep one
of them, Miss Wheelock, in the field at an
expense of $40 per month. This lady is
Mt Alexandra, where the expense Of liv-
ing is about IS month less than in this
city. '- no
q Miss Hattie A. Bateman, from Lamont,
is employed in Washington and vicinity,
and, owing TO the greater cost Of living
here, will require $45 month to make
her compensation equal to that of Miss
Wheelock. raf,. ~. .,i,at
Inview of the great usefulness of this
young lady, and the Importance Of keep
ing her in the field, we have concluded to
address letters to yourself and Hon. s. L.
Whitley, of Grand Rapids, explanatory Of
the subject, and ask that you interest
yourself in the premises. We do this
with the greater confidence from our
knowledge of the we'll known liberality Of
your citizens, believing, as we do, that it
is but necessary to present the facts and
tho Importance thereof TO them when they
will be induced TO respond literally. This
provision should be made for at least four
or five months, as their labors will certain
ly DO required during that period-possi-
bly, longer.
For the compensation Of Mrs. Brainard,
the third lady, we shall appeal to her 10
cality, Lapeer and Oakland Counties.
Trusting that we may hear a favorable
response from your people,
We remain your obi serv'ts,

A REPUBLICAN, PEACE PAPER.-The
Portland advertiser, republican paper,
is out in favor of "Peace Conference
between the North and the South, for the
purpose of achieving, through peaceful
agencies, a restoration of the Union."--
These are its words, and il claims, too,
the honor of being the first journal in all
the country to take this ground. We beg
TO say it is quite mistaken. We have al
WAYS been in favor Of this very policy
from the beginning, and feeling just as

ACardfrom Mr.. IIooton.

MEssBs, EDIToRs;-I noticed in this
mornings issueIof the Press, headed THE
Reasons Why" intimating that perhaps
for the reason that the Governor gave my
son the appointment of Quartermaster of
one of the regiments, and that have
grand son acting as a page in the House of
Delegates, influenced me TO make the re-
marks did in the House on the GarliIe re
solutions. And as the editor expressed
wish to know something about those little
facts as be terms them, in order that prop.
er estimate may be placed upon my opin-
ions just about this time, feel 1t dua TO my
self to say when an editor can stoop thus in
impugning the motives of a representative
of people to whom alone that representa-
tive is responsible, is truly humiiiating.-
Even admitting the fact that the Governor
did appoint my son QuRrtermaster, and
that have grand son acting as page 10
the House, what has that to do with iufIu-
encing me on the question that came up
before the Housed @ 4H
The Governor has the power, and il Is his
duty to appoint Quartermastsrs. If my son
or any other mans son has the necessary
qualifications, aud the Governor appoints
him. who is to complain. Aud 1.-THE Speak
er of the House; who is the appointing pow.
er, appoints my grand son as a page, if he
is competent, who has right to complain?
How many different persons have received
appointments from the Governor And al.
so we have three pages in the House, aud
hence the parents or grand parents of those
appoiutees are to have their own notions i'm
pugned for any remarks they may make
that do not suit certain gentlemen. Now
Sir, desire to say to the editor of the
Press that the opinions or remarks made
in the House are the views of the people of
my county, and to them alone am respon.
sible. And that now want no better eyi :
dence to influence me, to know was right,
than to have the Press TO condemn my
course. OHAs. HORROR.
