What We can Do.

What we can Du.
Col Slifer Informed US yesterday morn
ing that be understood the Government
bad made ample arrangements for the care
and comfort of our sick aud wounded men,
generally. Occasionally, and soon after
fights, there may be temporary and uu-
looked for lack at uncertain roints-but
these are soon supplied; and friends at a
distance may be assured that they are
well cared for
Our citizens, at home, are willing and
anxious to do much for those who peril
life in their behalf At present, the main
comforts are we'll provided Iudivituals
who lost all thcir personal effects, may be
aided by little every day convcniences.
Dried fruit and under clothing may be
secured for possible emergencies. Ere.
qucnt letters and papers to ttose away
full of thanks, cheer, and encouragement
will be useful to them. Extra at,en-
tions to the families of those who ace
defending our families as well as their own,
should be paid. And the ENLISTMENT Of
all who can be spared in this last emcr
gency, is another and mos; effective agency
for gaining the end
We are assured that when the Surgeon
General again needs gifts from the patriotic
people-as they did at iirst-he will state
publicly nhdt, 'chere, ho,c and ,rhqn to send.
l6~Lt Bogie, of Milton, states that the
last he saw Of Captains M'C.eery and Th.
Chamberlin, was when tho Reserves had
exhausted their ammunition, aud the Irish
Brigade, coming to their rescue, made the
dual and decisive charge which broke and
drove back the Rebels. Gam6erita anil
H C'ery, fill Of arlor, had each gathered
a Company oIo@ him, and as hc Irish
srcpt by Ike a hurricane, orr caPtaias
and their men "trent IN" rrHh dcnt. We
hope they may be yet heard from, alive.
But if their death has sealed their devotion
to their country, they could have spilled
their blood on no more glorious field, nor
win more noble youth be mourncd for BY
l,rgs circles of friends.
Maj Roy Stone, of the Buck'ails, saw
Col Simmons fall, and is confident be was
murtally wounded He also saw Gen
MCall taken prisoner BY getting too far
in advance Of his line, at night.
1t Col. Fisher escaped uuinjurea.
We have no accounts of losses in our
other Union County Companies.
s0'Never, in the history of the world,
have armies been composed Of such choice
material-nlds as well as bOdies-as the
Unions Volunteers! Every Regiment
(as Lincoln said) has men Il. for any Office,
up to President. In the recent annual
letter Of the Baptist Church at PhGnix-
vile, q. +. Brady, pastor,) it is stated
that TWENTY Of their members were .ery-
Ing their country on the field, and were
faithful also to the banner of the cross
H. W. Beecher's plymouth church keeps
Up a Company, including son and son-in-
!aW Of the pastor. These are specimens.
1aS-John a. Grier, Eng. U S. n, has
Just paid a short visit home, after super
intending the machinery of the ISeHirond,
the new gunbOa., at BordcdtOwn. That
vessel was recently launched, and having .
been safely delivered at Fortress Monroe
is in service in that region. Mr.. Grier is {
now transferred to be Chief Engineer Of c
the -Nelo LoRsides-which is considered
the most formidable iron-clad vessel now
aaoat-and whose metal may soon have
Iial at an important point.
