AN APPEAL In BEHALY OF our SoLDmRs.-
Major Ridenour, recently from. Fort McHenry,
makes an urgent appeal, to the benevolent Of
this city and surrounding country, for clothing
for our soldiers atthat place. Some Involve or
fifteen hundred soldiers have been left at Fort
McHenry, on account Of sickness and inability
to perform military duty. They are all sadly
in want of-c!Othing, needing fatigue suits and
other necessary articles. Some of them will be
again ct for service--it win take time to inyes-
tigate the cases of others and procure for them
honorable discharges. In the mean time. these
soldiers must not be abandoned their pressing
wants must be supplied; for never should II be
said that the country neglected It's brave self
sacrificing and suffering defenders.
2 These soldiers atFort MoEienry cannot draw
supplies Of clothing from.the Government, be-
cause there are no officers there to represent
them. They cannot be supplied from this

Enrolment OF Blacks in Massachu
sets.

The argument of the Attorney y-General of
Massachusetts, for the enrolment Of male me-
groes is simply that being citizens of that State,
and the law of Congress- requiring the enroll
ment of all male citizens, the blacks are, there.
fore, subject to enrolment. This reasoning
proceeds upon the assumption that all persons
who may be called citizens of State are citi-
zens of the United States. In other words, it
confers upon the several States the power to
determine who shall be citizens of the United
States.
This is manifestly false assumption. The
States possess no such power. Some Of the
States confer upon unnaturalized aliens the
right Of suffrage, and so far they may be said
to be citizens Of those States. But neither
aliens, nor Indians, nor negroes, are citizens of
the United States.
II is obvious that when a law of Congress
speaks of "ablebodied male citizens" it means
citizens of the United States. The attempt,
therefore, of the Attorney General and Govern
or Of Massachusetts, to enroll the negroes and
arm them in the service Of the United States,
because that State has seen fit to confer upon
them the right of suffrage ard make them eli
gible to Office, is an attempt to force the Federal
Government into a practical acknowledgment
of the Abolition dOctrine of negro equality, and
to discourage enlistments, both in Massacbu-
selts and in other States. AS long as Aboli-
tiOnism persists in raising and keeping such
questions before the people, and receives any
sort Of countenance from the Administration,
there can not be that unity of feeling and con-
cert of action among the loyal people of the
country, which of all thingsis most desirable
In this critical period in our national history.

The 95TH 0Ho.-The boys OF this regiment,
on their arrival at CoviDgton, Kentucky, on
Thursday evening last, were regaled with fine
aud bountiful repast by the ladies and citizcra
of that place. They bivouaoked in the depot,
and o! one O'Clock the next morning, left for
Lexington, Kentucky, where they arrived that
day, and encamped near the city. They trav-
eled in freight cars-nota a very agreeable or
comfortable mode; but such are the usages of
war, and to these the young and tender soldier
must become enured. We learn that the boys
oil generally stood the rough usage and hard
fare well-some complaining little of sore
ness about the shoulders from carrying their
heavy knapsacks On Friday night, they were
under orders to leave their camp at Lexington
for march southwark with four days' cooked
rations. IL would not surprise us II the next
news from the 95Ih should bo that Il had been
in some skirmlsh or battle with the rebels, who
are sWarming In that region into which, we ap-
prehend, that regiment has already penetrated.

value, there being but thirty inches Of water in
the Cumberland river.
The most painful news Of recent date Is con-
tained in dispatches from st. Paul, dated the
20d and 29d inst, giving accounts Of Indian
massacres In Minnesota, II appears that there
has been an outbreak in the Sioux agency near
Fort Ridgely, the Indians numbering the whites
Unfortunately, burning the houses and laying
waste the country. One account statea the
number of whites already killed by tho Sioux
to be FIVE hundred. II is sAid the civilized In
dians exceeded their savage brethren 10 their
atrocities. The accounts, which, we hope and
trust, are exaggerated, remind as Of the bar
baraties and horrors Of the old Indian wars
Ex-Governor SiBLEY, of Minnesota, had left for
the scenes of these massacres with twelve hun
dred men
General BEHLRR, ,of Penney ylvania, aud Capt.
BUELL, Of Ohio, were killed, and Capt. GOULD

are to be paid laborers' wages, and rebel owners
referred to the department at Washington for

to have environed the Gap, and cut of supplies

within two miles of the Gap. A detachment
Of cavalry had been cut iu pieces, and more
disastrous results we're anticipated, as the enc

Death Of capt. frank Buell.

!.
We regret to learn, as We do from q specisl
dispatch in yesterdays Cincinnati Gazette, that
Capt. FRANK BUELL, Of Ohio, Was killed 10 one
Of the late engagements in Virginia. He was
an excellent officer, q gallant soldier, and a
gentleman highly esteemed BY q large circleOf
attached friends. He was native Of Lowell,
Washington county, where his father still re-
aides; and was early admitted to the bar at
MsriettaJ where he practised his profession un-
I'll the beginning Of this war, when be brought
one Of the first companies to Camp Jackson
that were reported here, and, with his COM
mand, composed part of the 18th Ohio for the
three months service, At the end Of that SER
vice, be raised an artillery company in Wash
iDgton county, under q commission from Gov.
PIEnPoEr, of West Virginia. His command is
known as the PIERPoEr BATTERY. II saw much
hard service, and was in several engagements.
Capt. BUELL. was quite young-nct over
tWentysix-and was almost idolized by his
company, 90 well rs by his hOnored parents and
loving kindred. He was young man Of much
promise, having been elected City Solicitor of
Marietta soon after his admission to the bar,
and Prosecuting Attorney Of Washington
county In 1860, which positions he resigned to
20 into the military service Of his country. He
was cousin Of Gen. BUELL., Of the United
States army, and brother of the lamented
GEoReE P. BUELL., who was drowned in the
Ohio river at Cincinnati last winter, notice Of
whose death appeared in the Siatamaa at the
time.
We again tender our sorrOwiDg sympathy to
the parents and kindred in this new hour Of
sfIlctIon and bereavement.
