SOLDIERS RELIEF-We do not think it is
generally known low much is being done for the
assistance of sick and wounded soldiers by the
Soldiers Relief Society in this city. We do not
ourselves know all that is being accomplished,
but can state some facts The lists of articles
furnished to them, a record Of which we have
from time to time published, has served to show
that they have not been forgotten by the people.
They have room, the Soldiers Rest at No.
Foster street, which is always open, and some
lady is almost always in attendance. 1t is here
the packages are made up, ready to he for
warded to their destination. 1t is here that the
tired and sick soldiers, who may arrive in the
different trains are made comfortable. Ayoung
man is employed to take charge of the rooms,
and to be on the lookou: for any soldiers who
may arrive in the cars.
The ladies of this society have undertaken to
work up one hundred dollars worth of material
into proper shape, each week, and the committee
of gentlemen, who were chosen at a meeting at
City Hall, some weeks since, when Mr.. Furness
made his appeal for the sanitary commission,
have promised TO furnish the money. 1t now re-
maius for those who wish TO aid this work to as
the relief committee, to assist in making up the
garments; and the gentlemen by furnishing the
money requisite. Mr.. D. s. Messenger is the
treasurer of the committee chosen to aid The SAN
tary commission. Gu Sunday last collection
in aid of the sanitary commission was made in
the Salem street church (Rev Mr.. Richardson's),
and the result was that S73 81 was raised, which
has been handed to Mr. Messenger, the treasurer.
The SECOND CONCERT of the series by the
Quintette Club took place at Brinley Hall last
evening. They were assisted on This occasion by
Miss Julia E. Houston of Boston. Miss Houston
sang La ZingareIla, Scotch ballad, ("The Star
of Glengary, } and by request Shoulder Arms"
Each piece was well received, and the last one
called forth such applause 10 cause its repeti-
ton. We have not the space to notice the
pieces given in their order, but would only speak
of the Adagio and Scherzo, from the quintette by
MendelsSohn which were parti ularly fine; and
while enjoying them we were only wishing
that the whole quintette could have been
given. In fact, nearly all the classical
part IF the programme was represented in
these two movements While we would have
music Of a popular character constitute part of
au evenings entertainment, we would also have
the more classic works of the old masters occupy
part. We wish the club would give, at their
next concert, an entire quntette-for instance,
the one by Beethoven, in G; or if not that, the
quartette ly Schumann, IN A. We are sure that
one or two such pieces given in a single evening
would be greatly appreciated. Let us have the
classic reresented with the popular, and the adj
mirers of the different styles will have no reason
to complain.

CHARLEsToN.-The two rams tuilt nj Charles

erations. They can only he used as stationary
defences in case of an attack on The city Late
accounts represent divided sentiment among
the citizens-the poor praying for any change
that will bring them relief, the rest in doubt
whether to burn the town orto surrender it when
it is attacked Flour at forty dollars per

zens who are supported at public charge. The
negroes in aud around the city are ripe for re-

into turmoil, few days ago. and requiring two

harbor during the last week in November, which
had run the blockade, and were awaiting an OPP
portunity to again reach the open sea.

CITIZENSHIP OF CoLoRED MEN-A schooner
called the Elisabeth and Margaret was detained
at Perth Amboy, N. j., by revenue cutter, be-
cause commanded by colored man-not a citi-
zen of the United States. AS colored masters are
numerous in the coasting trade, the question of
their citizenship became an important one, and
was submitted to attorney general Bates for his
opinion. His conclusion is that all free persons,
without distinction of race or color, if native
born, are citizens; and that free man of color,
bora in the United States, citizen Of the United
States, notwithstanding the bred Scott decision,
which he pronounces void and of no authority
The attorney general makes some distinction be-
tween the natural and political rights Of differ
ent classes of citizens, but his remarks on this
point do not affect his decision of the simple
question of citizenship, which is unreserved and
absolute.

From the Nashville (Tenn.) Union.
Rctur ming to their First Love.


For several days the ofice Of Governor John.
roo in the Capitol have been thronged with
secession men aud women from the city and
adjacent country earnestly interceding for their
sons who have been or are now in the rebel
army, and expressing the utmost willingness
and even anxiety 10 take the oath of allegiance
To the good old Government, and faithfully dis.
charge the duties Of law-abiding aud loyal
citizens. Some Of these distressed parents for
whom we feel the deepest sympathy, say that
their sons were virtually forced Into the rebel
service by taunts aud mensces, others that their
pride led them to volunteer lest they should be
subjected to the DEGRADATION Of a draft, and
others from various malign Influences, so hard
TO be resisted By thoughtless adventurers and
ambitious young men.
Many instances Of the most affecting nature
could be adduoed, but we forbear to intrude
upon the sanctity of private griet. God forbid
that we should utter one word that would

demon Of enchantment lies powerless at the
feet Of our country's genius.
In addition 10 the above, the same paper
records with great satisfaction that "s large
number Of native Tennesesns, men Of intslli.
gence, character, and influence" have applied
to Governor johnson for authority to raise
troops for the Union army, and gives assurance
that much larger number Of natives Of that
State will volunteer in the Union army than
ever got into the rebel army, either by volun-
tsering or the draft.
