METAL-in response to i,<a. Beaureoarda cal,
for bells, we understand that 10 CathoI;e 4 rcb.
bishop and clergy of this diocese hv. .araaa -
contribute their church bells whenever :, .ho hs
decided they are necessary, Father Mn1Ie. ~ a.
Patrick's church, has already written on togcn
-Beauregard offering him the heavy bell of th.,
church whenever he desires to have it. OF course,
church bells should be called for only in the last
resort. Whenever the supply of other metal is ex-
hausted then let the churches give up the loud.
voiced monitors with which they call the faithful
to prayers and change them to guardians of those
faithful called to the bloody prayer of fearful
duty.
Provision FOB VOLUNTEERS FAmLIEs.-It is
we'll known that we have many of our fellow cit
zenE now in camp, within few miles of the city,
tis trne, but entirely cut of from any chance of
attending to their ordinary avocations. This is
well known, but not 30 well known is the amount
Of trouble and suffering that has grown from this
condition in many instances. Families have been
suddenly cut off from their ordinary source of
supplies, and mary times perhaps reduced to ac-
tual suffering in consequence. This sufsring re-
acts on the volunteer himself, causing the utmost
uneasiness on his part.
Private patriotism and benifcence stepped forth
in many instances, it is true, to remedy this evil,
but the remedy was partial and temporary. How
pleasant then to the soldier and the public alike to
know that this evil is about to be radically de-
stroyed. The City Cenncil have taken step
which shows that they intend to pursue line of
policy, in this respect which justice to the soldier
and Justice to the public alike require. 1t would
be the height of iuhumanity to force q man away
from home and leave his children to starve. 1t il
almost equally unjust to throw the burden OF these
necessary expenses, which should be psblic one
on few we'll ldisposed individuals.
Move must have men, but we must not leave
their families to suffer, and the only way to arrange
it equitably and satisfactorily, is to make the ex-
panse public one and make all contribute pro-
poftionaly to it through taxation. In this way we
will obtain all the soldiers that the country needs
and have them of the right kind y. Il I'D IT,

2informea, that this gallant company, which lef,
evening efore last for the seat Of war was eighty
two strong. rank and file. To say that this com.
pany was gc,tten up on the same plan as Company
OF the same corps is to guarantee that it consists
of the right material to make not only soldiers
but hero'ss. Men who regard not their own pay
eer comfort, but are only solictous for those they
leave behind, are of the very kind to be the most
unselfshly devoted to their country. The best
soldiers are not necessarily burly, brawny and
savagelooking', but they the faithful and we'll
prncipied, even though they may appear at first
delicate and timid. u. 2Fs E.2,5gpy3 ~
The THEsr1ANT PEE EEFoBMANcE.-Wfth pleasure
We call attention to the amateur performances of
this evening. at the Acaosmy of Music. Asbor,
visit last evening at dress rehearsal convinced
us that the aueience will perceive considerable
evidence of talent among the youthful troupe
We believe the young folks will t'ceed cleverly
in entertaining the select and numerous assem-
bage which, we doubt not, they will attract
Of COURSE the same perfection will not BE ex'
pected as in regular theatrical corps, but th. re
will be merit enough to pass off the evening most
pleasantly, besides tic CONSCIOUSNESS Of helping
on good cause. We think that all will agree in
considering the occasion as superior to amateur
performances generally.
MAN RUN QvER.-Yesterday afternoon, a gen.
tleman whose name we have not ascertained, in at
tempting to jump from horse car on Magazine
street, near Poyefarre, while in motion, fell with
his feet the track and of course his ankles
were badly crushed. He was carried away on q
bed. --ar
CHILD Run OvEn.--Yesterday, small child was
accidentally run over by a furniture car, The
wheel passed over its arm, fortunately without
any injury, as it was probably lying between two
prominences in the stone pavement.
