rmn FAMILIES OF voLuNrnrts.

We are informed that the committee
which was appointed al a public meeting,
held at the Wilmington Institute, on the
ith inst, to solicit subscriptions and collect
money for the purpose of paying bountics
to the recruits of the Fourth Regiment oi
Delaware Volunteers, and of Capt Niclds
Battery, have taken the responsibility of
changing the mode of appropriating the
money, OH the representations OF the com
manding officers that the men do not need
any additional bounty 10 that paid by the
United States, (S25) and that none have
been induced to enlist under the impress
sion that they were 10 receive ~ State
bounty. IT is also represented that it
will be more advisable to establish fund
for the relief and assistance Of the families
OF volunteers, especially as the members of
MI the regiments and military organizations
of the State which are now or may hercuf-
ter be mustered into service, will thus be
made the recipients Of the generosity OF
their fellow-citzens; whereas, under the
original plan only those who have lately
entered the service would receive any ben.
eft.
The sum of So, 900 appropriated by the
City Council to encourage enlistments will
be applied to the object of providing fol
the soldiers families, aud the Levy Court,
we understand, will make an appropriation
for the like purpose. There will also be an
appeal made to the liberality of private oti.
zens to contribute money to the Fund foI
the Relief of the Families of Volunteers.
Let it be understood that the wife and
children Of the volunteer will not he neg.
lected or suffer from want in his absence
and it will have quite as powerful an effect
in encouraging enlistments as the payment
Of bountes, and at the same time the con
tributions will be greater in number and
