Ehe Napeiso sanitary Cosn,nission
What il has done, and what il is d in,,

On the list OF Dec ult, a number Of ladies
OF o tumwa, organized themselves into an
association, under the name of "The
Wapcllo Sanitary Commission )" having for
its object the benefit Of the sick and wound
ed volunteers of our country.
A constitution and by laws were adopted,
according to which, any person may become
a member of this society, by paying ten
cents at the time Of signing the constitution,
and five cents, or its equivalent, at each reg :
ular meeting Of the society, which regular
meeting occurs once in every two weeks.
One of the first steps taken by the ladies
of the society after its organization, was to
canvass the town soliciting ''aid and com.
fort" for the objects oftheir benevolent eff.
forts, in the form Of bedding, clothing, and
such other things as are considered essential
to the comfort and restoration of the sick.
The result was probably as satisfactory as
could reasonably have been anticipated. The
money ard materials given, were converted
by the society, into "such articles as are
needed in the hospitals, and not furnished
by the Government of the u S." and, in a
few weeks, at low estimate, were valued al
sixty dollars, was forwarded to st. Louis.
The giving of Union Festival, was the
next most feasible project that suggested
itself to the Ladies Of the association, as Q
means ofreplenishing their almost exhausted
Treasury, thus enabling them to proceed
with their labor CT love. Accordingly, or
the evening of the 10th ult, they gave {
supper, which, for display Of fine confection
airy, and the abundance and delicacy of thei
ep;curean dainties, was probably never equal
ed by any entertainment of the kind giver
in Ottumxa Whilst the excellence ant
appropriateness ofthe music, contributed
perhaps, more than any thing else, to tn
general enjoyment of the numerous guests
When the expenses of the entertainment
had all been raid, the balance remaining i,
favor of the Treasury, was about one hun
dred and twenty dollars.
A part of this sum has already been ex
pended, with furnishing with s, table com
= forts. box, valued at nine dollars. whicl
has been sent to wounded volunteer a
Cairo-who had been particularly recon
mended to the sympathy of the society, b,
a re liable gentleman-an officer in the army
A third box is now being furnished in
manner similar to those before mentioned
, which, when ready, will be sent to the IT
REGIMENT Iowa Volunteers.
This brief account Of the ''rise and prog
+ ress" of the Wapello Sanitary Commission
is submitted to the public. partly because
is considered due to those who have contrib
uted to the object of the society, that the
may know what disp ,siti,n has been mad
of their contributions; and partly, from
, modest hope, that those Ladies ofneighbol
ing towns. who have not as yetoxerted then
selves in behalf of Our Country, may fror
, this example, receive some Suggestions
which will induce them to do what they car

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-An attempt was
made last night to blow up the Mansion
House in Alexandria, formerly hotel, now
used as hospital. A barrel .secreted in
the cellar filled with powder and projectiles,
and a fuse extending from there to stable
had been ignited, but was fortunately discoy-
cred by the guard. But for this watchful
ness, several hundred lives would have been
lost.
VIM. T., S NTH son Of the banker, was ar
rested to-day charged with communicating
with the rebels. 1t is considered one of the
most important arrests made since the rebel
ion began.
The Senate Committee on Judiciary came
o the conclusion, six to one, to report against
lao expulsion Of Jesse d. Bright.
