APPEAL Fo THR RRNKVOLRNT.

AN APPEAL 70 THE BENEVOLENT.
EDITORS APPEAL The young ladies of
Grenada have recently formed themselves into
a Knitting Society for the relief Of Destitute
soldiers, and desire to make their aims and hopes
in this matter known to the public through your
columns. This new society does not in say way
conflict withsor seek to rival the Ladies' Aid So
oiety Of this place, already SO well kaown for
the extent of its donations and the blessings it
has conferred on the poor soldiers. 1t might be
more properly considered as an auxiliary or off
spring Of this. We cannot have too many So
c~ieties; cannot, with ell our efforts, do TOO much
in view of the approaching wiassr, and the terri
bic destitution of our troops. The armies Of our
invaders come well clothed they lack no means
of comfort; and must the brave men who fight
the battles of freedom suffer during the in
clemant weather for want of absolute nscassa-
Ties; must thar bare and bleeding feet track

Then shall We not fsal amply rewarded far all
our efforts, and for the most paiRful sacri6essl
But whether our reward is near or not we must
do our duty all the same; our brave soldiers
must be clothed as far as our means car possibly
do it. And ought this 10 be a hard dutyl Who
are these soldiers that we work foI} Why, eur
own husbands, brothers and sons.
It is 8 fact well known that the number Of
men who are killed in battle OF die from their
wounds are not to be compared 10 the thousands
who die from sickness, and mostly diseases su-
p~erinduced by expose. And oh ny sisters our
county cannos AfoEd toloss . uAz now. We
are soon to be vsrUhSImed By frsh hOrdes
from the North. This is the death struggle Of
our Hbertiss. If We fall back now al our for
victories 60 for nothing; all the heroic lives
that have been offered up all our grief over our
lost loved ones all is then thrown into q Useless
gulf Doubtless our army viii do its part nobly
in the field, and let us continue to do ours at
home.
The particular object Of our present effort is,
as 1 have stated, to KIT sssk1 70 be giTen 10 the
soldiers. We invite eur friends all over the

The Chicago Times thus comments upon the
result Of the late elections in the North:
Hsiqhed ia the balance and found DeHtias, is
the verdict of the people Of the great States OF
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, against the
administration at Washington.
Ii is q terrible condemnation of imbecfity,
trescheTy, and usurpatOn.
1t is an impatient and emphatic demand that
the President shall send away the Cabinet Min
listers who have misled him, emancipate himself
from the wTetehed influences which surround
him, return to the observance Of his own sulemn
oath to support the Constitution, and call into
the service of the government, in its highest
places, patriots and statesmen.
Il is an impatient and emphatic demand that
hereafter the war shall be prosecuted for the
restoration of the Union, and for no other pur-
pose whatever.
Il is . proclamation that there shall be no
more arbitrary or Illegal arrests, that martial
law shall not prevail in ths loyal States whsrs
the civil pOEe is ObstEUctsd, that every citizen
charged with the Offsnse shall have q speedy
trial, and shat eyeTy constitutional right shall
stand intact.
Il is an indignant protest against the diaboli-
caiy wicked waste Of life and treasure which
has distinguished this war beyond any example
in the history of civilized warfare, aud a uum-
psf call that hSnesfertA the war shall De conduct
ed By military men, upon miiRFy principles,
AMI to = triumphant MISREPRESENTATION.
It's, in short, The great voice Of three power
tUl States, awaiting the response of Illinois and
the other States which will speakin November.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Evening Journal

illinois cavalry, just from Helena, gives several
interesting facts.
A force Of Texan rangers is lowering about
the camps When a body Of Federsls - out
they retreat TO The swamps. When the Fedsrals
return they dash in their rear and cut off stray
glers. These Bkirmishes are of almost daily oc-
euTrence.
Last Saturday a battalion Of the 81 Wiseon-
sin cavalry went out-on the st. Francis road as
far as Lagrange, fifteen miles from Salem.
They were attacked by the 21tn Texas rangers.
and driven back ten miles, when the Let Mis-.
souri, came to their assistance. Twelve of the
rebels were captured, Lieutenant-C Colonel Gid
dings and len men.

ErThe following paragraphs we AXE from
the Richmond (Va) Dispatch Of October 18Th:
PRoM II ARMY IN THE VALLEY-Reports
from TIE army, such as reach rs, indicate that
there has been no change in is position since
our last issue. All the information that has
come to hand during the past two days gives
us the assurance that there is no immediate
probability Of a battle. The campaign, SO far
as fighting is concerned, is, no doubt, closed in
northern Virginia.
The enemy does not seem disposed to attempt
a passage Of The Potomac ia force in the pres
encs Of our army, aud as the fall rains have set
IN. by which the streams ia this section are usU-
ally suddenly aud greatly swollen, it IS reason
able TO conjecture Shat be viii hardly have the
t~enerity to put himself between cur army sRd

GENERAL RIPLEY ARRIvED.-We are pleased
to chronicle the arriva Of General r. S. Riplev
back again at TIE scene Of his former triumph
and labors. We regard his presence as a vsiu-
able adjunct to tho defense Of our city and State,
and greet him with a hearty welcome.
We learn that General Beauregard, highly ap-
preeisting the value of his services, applied to
the government fer General Ripley, and that his
application was warmly supported by the COVER
nor and council, and by the delegation of South
Carolina in Congress. General Ripley, himself,
being at Richmond on account Of bis wound,
Teeiprocsted the compliment, and expressed his
desire to return to the difficult laboIs of this de-
psrtment. We have had an opportunity Of
knowing his worth Its a satisfaction to know
that this officer, for capacity, knowledge, good
Judgment and energy, has The ample endorse
ment OF Generals Beauregsrd, Lee, Joseph Z.

BomOCrArIo Meeting in New York.


The New York World makes the following re-
marks relative to the Democratic meeting held
at Cooper Institutes New York, on the night of
the 18th instant:
New York has never Witnessed such an inn
mense and enthusiastic assemblsge as that which
last evening filed the great hall Of the Cooper
Institute, and all the streets and squares ad-
joining. In spite of the rainy day preceding
and ths still threatening clouds, in spite of the
damp ar and muddy streets, we are bound, in
candor, to say that, without an exception, it was
at once the largest and most enthusiastic meet
ing which ever assembled in that place. The
ward PROFESSIONS, with banners and bands Of
music, the thunder of cannon and the harinr of
torches, were only the picturesque and stirring
incidents common to all our great political gath
erings. But the most careless observer eonld
not fail TO pereeive-in the outburstinR enthu-
sissm which applauded every speaker within
and without the building 10 the echo; in the
novel companionships Of the platform and the
the floor, where old line wings and politicians
and voters Of many another faith sat side by
side with their traditional opponents in the in
tent listening, the frequent Interruptions, and
tho discriminating APPLAUSE in q certain anx-
ieus earnestness on every intelligent face-that
It was no ordinary canvass then and there
opened. The very air, not less than The tone Of
the principal speakers, betrayed the general con
seriousness how big with the destiny of the ma
ton were the canvass Of a Stats and the issues

rived at our landing last sVeRing, sSd HON Cas-
hin Bart Bowen, hsr genbsmsRly commAadeI,
We learn the reason Of the 6rag st ia Msbsor,
which arrived st noSn today, reported heariag
as she passed the neighborhood of the celsbfsted
Island No. 10. L appears that on Thursday
two bodies Of Colonel FsulknsT's rebel cavalry
came in there, and each Eistskins the other d.
vision for enemies, the two bodies frsd vigor-
ously into e2cb other. 1t is reported, however,
that the consequence Of the blunder had no
more serious result than the weundiAg of tHo
men. The noise of the firing attracted the at
tentiOn Of some Federal troops scouting in the
neighborhood, and they pursued them and sue
ceeded in carrying of seven prisoners.
At TiptOnville Il was reported that the gueT-
nllas were active all around and full OF vim
dieti7e designs. 1t was stated, however, that
they had been met by some Federal troops who
had wounded four OF five Of their men Their
appears to bs great activity manifested at the
present time by the enemy along the river
They have been encouraged by the inactivity of
the g~unb9ats to believe they can close the river
mmer Of Memphis and starve it into sub
mission to the Con1sderscy. While we are writ
ing, steps are being carried out that will show
them the futility OF their expectations, while it
proves to them that General Sherman viii not
permit their unwsrlike banditd proceedings to
bs perPetrated without bringing bitter conse-
quenees on the heads of their aideTs and symsa-
thizers.-Memphis Bulletin, 1911.
