a Call for Aid.

~
Sargcon- General Hammond, whose foresight and
agaety only surpassed by bis patriotic and hu-
name regard FOR the present and prospective welfare
Of the soldiers in our army, has issued call to the
women Of America soliciting their aid to relieve the
smfferings Of the sick and wounded and distressed
podiers. We have not less than 10 900 Invalid, from
the army in our hospitals in this city and neighbor-
hood and now q telegram from Washington calls
3r immediate accommodations for 2,o10 men who
were wounded in the late battle at Bull Run. Not
withstanding the ungaant repu'ses the ladies have
nae, with in few instances in this city, we hope and
believe they will promptly and sheerfuly respond TO
This call. Our soldiers with exceptional cases
are men who have been accustomed 10 good living
and kind treatment at home. When they were ill.,
they had their mothers wives and sisters TO care for
them. Their relationship 10 the war has not changed
their nature 70 that they longer need the tender
nursing of woman when they are sick and wounded.
Wcuan is the natural nurse Of those who suffer
from wounds and bruises and sickne.s, and the idea
ID hanishing her from the bedside Of the wounded
kveT-stricken patriot though by volunteering to
fghs tie battles Of his country be had forfeited sll
claims to humanity, is repulsiye and abhorrent. The
ladies who have aided the sick and wounded solders
IN our hospitals belong TO our most respectable faml-
hes; they are discreet and intelligent and have made
grea, sacrifices Of time and money to relieve the
wants Of the wives and children Of our soldiers and
they are not discouraged by the Misrepresentation %
their motives. They have distributed thousands Of
garments that were needed before The Government
could furnish them 10 the soldier, they have prepared
tans of lint and bsnGsges, they have supplied i'm
nense stores OF wines and delicaeies they have con-
tributed vast sums Of money, and they are willing to
repeat these deeds Of patriotism ald mercy.
THE CARE or SICK AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
The following are the names OF some OF Tie gen.
tlenen In Massachusetts who have volunteered u
aid ,Le .oIdiers wounded in the late battles:
Drs R r. Davis Hooper HArity and Bennett, from Fan
River. NJ p...l ,.ou
fDrs. Brewster Manning, Fi,h, Miller, and Smith, from
PktsGeld
Oar humane and energetic Surgeon-G eneral who
,sneyer restrained by red tape, has called upon the
and children Of the nation TO contribute lint and
hosptsl stores. In Massachusetts, the response was
nnpreoedented. The churches closed Oh Sunday,
and tables were placed Oh tho sidewalks to receive
contributions of the necessary articles. In few
hoa eight carloads Of hospital stores were donsted
md as 900 in cash. These stores have already
been forwarded TO Washington. SO much for
wo.nan's work. Who will say now that the EeS
and wounded soldier does not need her assistance
In this city similar movements have been inaugu-
rated.
