the next Republican nomination foi Governor,
and in my opinion the people OF fehnsyfVahia
wouId do we'll to. secure, for that responsible
position, the services of such man as he is.
Hon. John Patton, Member Of Congress from
our district who is one of the Vice Presidents
of the Association, also takes deep and
active interest in its purposes and workings, ,as
do all its members, who, it is not inopportune
to remark here, are contributing hberallv
from their private funds to the praiseworthy
object for which it was organized. 1 should
like much to hear of the efforts of the Asso-
citation being seconded and encouraged by
contributions from our people at home. The
amount OF good that may be accomplished
cannot be estimated, and many a sick and
wounded soldier may thus be restored to
health and friends, who otherwise might have
died from neglect or exposure.
Yours truly, OLDTowN.

manner. The repast was creditabe affair /;
In fact, one of the best we ever witnessed on

Nothing occurred to mar the pleasures of the
day, and all seemed well pleased with the
parts they severally performed.

ments now in progress, and the reduced con-
ditfon of our effective forces in the field, re-
sulting from the usual and unavoidable casu-
alties of the service, that the time has arrived
for prompt and vigorous measures to be adopt
cd by the people in support of the great inter-
eSts committed to your charge, respect
fully request, if it meet with your entire ap
proval, that you at once call upon the several
States for such number of men may be re-
quired to fill up all the military organizations
now in the field, and add to he armies here
tofore organized such additional number of
men may, in your judgment, be necessary
TO garrison and hold all the numerous cities
and military positions that have been cap
tured by our armies, and to speedily crush the
rebellion that still exists in several of the
southern States, thus practically restoring tc
the civilized world our great and good gov
ment is near at hand, ard to that end the peo
pie of the United States desrous to aid
