THa CHAsELEss KINDNESS OF THE PATRIOTIC
LADIES OF Qua CoUNrRY.-The members OF
the Louisville Branch OF the United States
Sanitary Commission desire, through our
columns, 70 express their thanks 10 the
warm hearted friends whose great benefae-
tiona have enabled them to respond to the
many calls m sde upon them for aid. In ad-
dition TO the requisitions for the hospitals in
the city, the Comm issioners during the past
two or three weeks have received earnest ap-
plieRtions in behalf Of the sick soldiers at Co
mbia, Calhoun, and various other points,
and in no instance have they been compelled
TO withhold the assistance required.
To Columbia they had the pleasure Of
sending six large boxes, and sixteen TO Cal
houn, besides two boxes to Somerset for the
relief Of the brave soldiers wounded OF Mil
Spring, and two TO the gallant men under
Col Garfield. It has been great privilege
and pleasure 10 the Commissioners 10 be the
almoners Of this great charity, and they feel
that words can but poorly express their graf
itude to the fair donors.
Their rooms have been filled with contri-
buttons, sometimes made directly to the
Commission and sometimes TO ladies, deeply
interested in the hospitals, and these coniri-
buttons have come from far and near-from
the Sanitary Association in Boston. repre-

Such mention as occurs in the above Of the
Ladies Aid Society Of this city is frequent,
and nothing stronger could be given or de-
sired as an evidence Of its usefulness. Daily
calls are made upon the Society from nu-
merous points South and Wsst, and these
have 50 far been promptly met, t,-the month
ly exhibits show the extent of these de-
mands. Since the battle of Fort Donelson,
large shipments Of articles necessary to the |
comfort Of the woundad have gone out from
the Society to Cairo. Since Monday there |
have been sent one hundred and sixty boxes |
of supplies of all necessary kinds, one thou
sand sets Of clothing, twenty-five boxes of
linta bandages, large quantity of stores,
etc: There have also been hospital supplies
sent 10 Lebanon, KY, Cumberland, Nd,
Ky, BardstOwn, KY, and stores to |
several regiments.
These demands, following each other with
such rnPidity, and requiring. in their filling |
large quantities of articles, have of course
depleted the Society both of funds and sup
plies. Let the auxiliary societies scour their
respective neighbOrhOOds and replenish as
rapidly as possible, while our citizens should
at the same time step forward in aid of this
great work.
