There has been no time since the North

danger than to-day. The Philistines are

At the North-in our homes and at our fire.

has waxed bold and defiant The causes
hat have brought about this result we
need not discuss; the fact is what we have
70 consider. Traitors are in our midst
with their devilish poison tainting the at
mosphere and distributing deadly food to
weak AMI depraved minds. What must
be done? How shall these disseminators Of
treason be met and put DOWN. We need first
70 ascertain who and how many there are.
As 70 their political afinities, no inquiry
Is needed. They are Of the Democratic
faith aud politics. The Democrats Of Ohio
nominate Vallandigham for their next
Governor, and their organs applaud him

pie may be heard at home and abroad
The majority of the people sustain the pro-
elAmaion and its results. They believe
in Il as g war measure Of great power
against the rebels. Aside from its intrin-
sic merits as question ofright and justice
to the oOlored man (which advantages are
iuesleulable,) they see that it is militia
y necessary, and as such, to be sustained
by all who pray for the success Of our
arms. This convention will give OppOrtu-
nifty for an expression Of these sentiments
and will also be the occasion Of hearing
patriotic speeches from such men as Dan

have learned the lesson of emancipation
from the hard teacher, war. It is hoped
blythe committee that General Butler may
be induced to be present, provided he
does not sooner take active command

be present and the occasion will be one
not to be lost. We want such an expression

down the latent opposition and treason
that Is to be found here as we'll as else
where In the North. It can and must be
done.

THE S0LDTERsI AID SOOIETY

s5 BANK STREET, CLEVELAND, Feb. 7, 1868.
We have sent this week from our rooms
to Louisville, Kentucky, two carloads Of
hospital gOOds-s5S packages-cOntaining
$50 ccmfortables, 700 shirts, 700 pairs Of
drawers, $500 towels, 800 pairs socks,
2,I74 quarts concentrated beef, 600
pounds dried apples and other fruit, l, 1,750
pounds of light groceries, 300 pounds of
cheese, 29O pounds butter, 200 bottles wine
and cstsup, "A kegs pickles and applebut-
ter, 43 bushels vegetables, % pounds
apples, go crutches, $40 books, and large
number Of miscellaneous articles.
Among these boxes we're many designed
for particular regiments, or for persons
connected with hospitals of Louisville and
Nashville. These boxes we have sent to
the rooms Of the United States Sanitary
Commission, nearest the point Of destina-
tiOnrwhere they will be held in store for
time, and IL not then called for by their
owners, will be used for the general good.
The large shipment mentioned above,
went down from here in chargeof special
messenger who will not leave the goods
till they reach Louisville, where a part
will be sent by Sanitary steamer to Mem
phis, and the rest re-sh;pped to Nash
Vile, where the agents Of the United States
Sanitary Commission are waiting to re-
ceive and distribute them.
The garments sent in this lot were
mostly flannel or canton flannel, and all
were of excellent quality. A large pro-
portion Of these Aannels have been made
by ladies and societies of this city, from
material purchased by ourselves, We
offer special thanks to those Branch soci-
cites which have contributed of these ar
ticles, so very valuable in the present high
prices of material.
Through the solicitations Of our agents
appointed by the United States Sanitary
Commission, we have received during the
fall and winter very generous donations
Of vegetables, apples, cider, &c., from the
farmers of Ashtabuls, Lake and Jefferson
counties. Informal Acknowledgements of
these favors have been several times Civ
en-, but we have never been able to specify
the names of donors, nor amount given by
each.
If the district military or receiving
committees of these counties will send US
list Of the persons from whom these sup
plies have been collected, we will publish
it in full, and will gladly give all due
credit for the donations which have proved
SO valuable q part Of our shipments fol
the past few months.
The stores of the Sanitary Commission
have ell the advantages Of Government
transportation, added to the careful at
tentiOn of special messengers, and those
who contribute to the sick and wounded
through this channel, may feel the utmost
confidence in oar ability to forward theil
goods with prOmptness and safety, to hos
pital destinations.

They have taken advantage OF the alb

the enemy in three battles--two on land
and one on Grand Lake; dispensing the
rebel army utterly destroying the rebel

enemy at Franklin and New Iberia
demolishing The salt works ten miles
southwest Of the latter place; capturing
the camp equipage Of the enemy, also
several guns, and nearly two thousand
prisoners; and 40 deranging the plans
Of the rebels, that they cannot for somo
months, if ever, reorgnnize. Other sue,
cesscs of General Banks, already known
to the public, are mentioned. Our loss
in the two land battles, was about 600
