duced them to send for their comfort numerous
sanitary supplies which are continually arriv-
Ing by the hands Of individuals and charitable

Whilo he highly appreciates and does not un-

Cd on this army, experience has demonstrated
the Importance of system and impartiallty, as
well as Judgment and economy, in the forward
Ing and distribution of these supplies. In oil
these respects the United States Sanitary Com
mission stands unriyaled. TIA organization,
experience, and large facilities for the work,
are such that the General does not hesitate to
recommend, in the most urgent manner, all
those who desire to send sanitary supplies to
confide them TO the care of this Commission.
They will thus insure the supplies reaching
their destination without wastage or expense
of agents or transportation, and their being
distributed In Il judicious manner without dis
order or Interference with the regulations and
usages Of the service.
This commission acts in full concert with the
medical department Of the army, and enjoys
Its conldenc. 1t Is thus enabled, with few
agents, to do a large amount Of good at the
proper time, and In the proper way, Ever since

Another Eloquent Appeal from the Army
TO the People.


The officers of the Fourteenth New Hamp-
shire volunteer regiment, in Maryland, observ-
ing the political conflict now going on in their
own State of New Hampshire, have united in
an address to the people of that State. The
spirit of it is contained In the following ex-
tract, which we take pleasure in laying before
our readersi
1t Is no time to make issue upon the method
/ of suppressing the rebellion. Discussion here
! is dangerous. When a ship is sinking her only
safety Is an implicit and unquestloning obedi-
/ ence to tho commands of her captain. To
cavll, then, COnsigns both officers and crew to
a watery grave. Those who profess themselves
fastdious about the means Of defeating the
rebels, justly create a suspicion of their honesty
! IN wishing them defeated at hll. The primal
object is the preservation Of the Union. To
accomplish this, let us accept the chosen plans
of the COmmandcr-ln-C Chief of the army and
navy; and when the Union shall have become
an accomplished fact, we can call our rllers 10
account for any misuse of power
Believing that they who, after months OF
traitorous and systematic scheming, pointing
= the first gun against Sumter, and who are still
fired with lnfriate hate toward the best Gov
ernment ever devised, are responsible for all
| tie accumulated horrors Of this iniqultOuB war,
We declare ourselves, now and forever, unal-
terably opposed to any cessation OF ofhOstities, to
any compromise, or TO peace upon any terms
than an unconditional surrender by the rebels
and a return to loyalty, Till this be accorded,
we accept the dread alternative Of war, conf
dent, not only from the amplitude Of our re-
sources, but equally from the justice Of our
cause, of the ultimate triumph of our arms;
and, II need he, We will fight on till every
Southern home he made desOate, and every
rebel be sent to render up his account to d
higher than any earthly tribunal.
Let Gictio1w spirits cease criminal lOdste Of time
dItd easTgy IN useless criticism Of the acts Of the
AdmiRistraion Let every note of opposition
be Indignantly rebuked into silence, and all
our powers be concentrated for a final and sue

by the discharge of n cannon when a salute was
being fired in honor of Gen. Butler, In Baltimore,
on Thursday last, took place at the Unitarian
church, at noon to-day There was a large number
present at the church, and the ceremonies were
exceedingly interesting and impressive.
About quarter to twelve, two companies of ma
rines, commanded by Capt. c. NJ. McCauley, and
escorted by a drum Gorps under the direction OF
Drum Major Roacho, arrived and took position in
front OF the church. They were here Joined by the

A few minutes after 70, the remains were con-
veyed from the late residence OF the deceased on
street, to the church, accompanied by his late In
| timate friends and relatives.
! The body was enclosed In metallic coffin which
was surmounted with silver plate, bearing the
name and age OF the deceased. The American en-
sign was spread in graceful folds over IT, and on
this were laid two beautiful wreathes of evergreen
inteFspersed with beautiful white tulips.
As the corpse was conveyed up the aisle, a SOL
emn dlrge was sung by the choir In attendance In
most impressive manner.
The coffin being placed in front OF the altar, the
Rev. MIR. Claiming, pastor OF. the church, read a
portion of Scripture, after which he proceeded TO
speak in eloquent and feeling terms Of the sad and
sudden manner in which Com. Woodruff met his
death, and then paid high tribute to hIs courage
Aud personAl worth.
The remains were deposited In Congregational
/ Cemetery.
