An Appeal to the Ladies.

Are the ladies of our country tagging
in their praisworthy efforts for the cause
of The Union ? Do they feel the renew
ed impulse Of zeal and patriotism which
the last few weeks have given? Hith-
erto they have been no whit behind the
sterner sex in their proper sphere. But
now the tremendous increase of our ar
my calls for corresponding increase in
the ranks of those whose part it is to
heal and comfort, to minister to the
wants of the sick and suffering, to nurse,
clothe and feed, the heroes whom wounds
or sickness have overtaken in their course
of hard and wea-isome warfare. A
glorious and blessed part indeed have
the ladies' Of our country played in this
terrible war. Witness the tons Of COM
fits, clothing, delicacies and luxuries
their skillful and generous hands have
poured into our hospitals /; witness the
delicate and soothing attentions SO many
have received at their kind hands; wit
ness the holy consultations administered
to the dying sufferer. and the cheerful
congratulations given to the GONZALES
cent. Many blessing has been invoked
from the bed Of pain and sickness upon
themthem, by men whom their tonder
care has wakeued to sense of thank
fulness long forgotten.
Many death-bed has been made holy
by their presence and prayers, and many
fond and grateful look has been given
by bright. dying eyes upon the pure and
holy women who have made that dying
bed bed of ease and hope. If more
quiet and unobtrusive, their sphere is no
less useful and important than that of
the men. 1t is to the honor of the la
dies that they have uniformly and ca
gerly filed this sphere in the past short
history of our troubles now. however,
an increased ardor must be felt. new
impulse given. Our army is doubled;
let the army Of needles and skillful fin
gers be redoubled, and let the kind
hearts of our women prompt their iugc-
NOUS heads to contrivc means by which
our cause may be furthered and our
troubles lightened. Let them not falter
in their visits to our hospitals let them
continue the light their presence dffuses
the crowded wards let them
collect money from their private purses
to aid the families of volunteers; let them
send to the army and to the hospitals
their delicate preserves, and the cloth
ing. and bandages and lint which their |
skilful hands prepare; and let them be
sure, that in so doing they are playing
not a small or unimportant part in this
great tragedy, and let them expect the
gratitude of the whole army and Of the
whole country.

The Reported Dcjeot and Capture Of Tie
Federal 7roopc at To-em,H, uHeriy Jalsc

aud the Union arms Successful.
LOUISVILLE, August 10. Capt j. II.
Jerry, Division Quarterm aster, has just
arrived from Cumberland Gap at noon
on the 18th instant, giving an authentic
account of the recent engagement there.
Gen DcCourseys brigade was attack
ed by Stevenson rebel division on the
9th at Tazcwcll, and Col. Cochran's 18th
kentucky regiment whipped four rebel
regiments. Cochran held his fire until
they we're within $50 yards, and checked
their advance. The Federal loss was
three killed and Is wounded, and 81 of
the 10th regiment taken prisoners. We
took rebel Lieut. Colonel, whom we
exchanged for the 81 prisoners. The
rebel officers admitted loss of $50 killed
and wounded. We took 213 wagon loads
of forage and 70 horses. We lost the
knapsacks of two regiments.
There has been no Fl hit at Big Creek
Gap, as reported. nor any other engage
ment in the vicinity of the Gap or Taze-
we'll than the foregoing. All the reports
of other engagements and of the cutting
to pieces Of General Carter and Col.
Byrd's forces by the rebels, are utterly
false.
Gen. Morgan had issued special Or

bridges, that two or three weeks will be
required to repair it. Railroad commu-

COMMENCEMENT At PRINCETON

From Our 0Bn Correspondent
PRINCETON JGre25, 1862.
The Commencement exercises sttendant upon the
10Th anniversary of the College OF New-Jersey
took place on Tuesday and "Wednesday Of this week,
and were unusually interesting.
On Tuesday morning, at quarter past III, the
students formed in procession at the College Chapel
and proceeded to the First Presbyterian Church, in
which, from time immemorial, the exercises have
been celebrated, to listen to the Grafton which the
Rev. Theodore l.. Cuyler of Brooklyn had been in.
yted to deliver before the two literary societies OF
the colege-the American Wing and the Cliosophic.
In despite of the unfavorable weather, the church
was well filed, many strangers being present. A
very good band Of music, from Philadelphia was in
attendance, which would have bsen materially i'm
proved by the addition Of few more performers.
Mr.. Cuyler's Grafton was well written, well deliv.
cred, and well listened TO- its subject, " Intellect,
and how TO use it." 1t would undoubtedly have
given universal satisfaction, but for some certain
political sentiments therein introduced, which,
whether true in themselves or not, and however
deeatey pointed aud beautifully expressed, witbal,
were yet itimed, and, consequently, dstssteful to
many among bis audience, who had come to be re.
fre,hed by Mr.. Cuylers wellknOwn eloqucaco, and
not excited by bis political opinions.
