THE LADIES APPEAL.

The Ladies making preliminary ar
rangements for the Great " csternSani-
tary Fair, to be held ut Cincinnati, on
or about the 18th of December, hope
that all ladies Of the North, as well as
all the loyal men, will cooperate with
them in this great effort to minister to
the comfort Of their k'ndred-tathers,
brothers, husbands and sons-in the
camp and in the field, exposed not on
y to the imminent and terrible casu-
aIties Of battle, but also to hunger and
thirst, sickness and death, away from
home, friends and kindred, with no
mothers or sisters hand to smooth
their pillows, nor sympathising hearts
tocheer and comiortthcm in their hours
Of anguish and sorrow.
The time is short for preparation; but
so much the more urgent the necessity
for immediate, energetic, united and
wholesoulcd effort to make this Fair
yield the largest possible amount, to
aid in alleviating the sutferings Of our
brave and self-sacrifcing soldiers.
This appeal is intended so to be as
broad as the interest in this cause is
universal. They ask the widows
mite. They ask the rich to contribute
Of their abundance. In short, they
plead that the heads, hearts, and hands
of all may be cheorlulIy, earnestly and
heartily engaged, in this most com
mendabIc work. They ask not for
money only. They ask for goods,
wares and merchandise. They ask for
that which is ornamental, as well as for
that which is useful. They ask for
the handiwork Of the cunning crafts
man, as well rs for fancy articles from
the hands Of their country women
They ask for something from all, of all
creeds and all professions; from the
rich and from the poor from the learn
ed and from the unlearned. They ask
for dAything that will sell and that is
appropriate TO be sold at such Il Fair
and for such a purpose.
Finally, they ask all to rork-to
work noU-and to continue to work
until the Fair is over.
This Gppeal is not intended to be lin,
tied in any sense by State, party or
sectarian lines. 1t is addressed to the
loyal everywhere, 1t is hoped that, as
far as possible, every State, every
Church. and as tar as practicable, every
individual not in the army, will be
represented at this Fair by some sub
stantal token of their good will to the
cause.

Suffering of our Prisoners at Richmond

Assistant Surgeon Myers, ofthc navy
inst released from Richmond prison,
made an official report to the Secretary
of the Navy, to-day ofhis observations
of the way our prisoners are t'eated.
lie says;
II enjoyed, for several months, daily
access to the hospitals where the sick
and wounded Of the Union prisoners
received treatment. hereby declare
my belief that, since the battle Of Chick
amauga, the number of deaths per day
have averaged fifty, the most prevalent
diseases being those Of the respiratory
and digestive organs, OF late the per
centage Of deaths has greatly increased
the result Of causes that have been
long at work, such as insufficient food,
and clothing, and shelter, combined
with that depression of spirits brought
on so frequently by long confinement.
1t may seem almost incredible, when |
affirm, Of personal knowledge, that in
three hospitals for Union soldiers the
average mortality is now forty five
per diem, and, upon most reliable au-
thority, | am forced to believe that the
deaths in the tobacco factories, and
upon the Island, will raise the total
average mortality among the Union
prisoners to sixty per diem, or eigh-
ten hundred monthly. The extremely
reduced condition Of those brought
from the Island augurs that hundreds,
quite sick, are left behind, who would
be considered fit subjcc for hospital
treatment,
"Such, too, is the fact, invariably
stated by scores have conversed with
from that camp. The same to degree
holds true of prisoners in the city, 1t
would be q reasonable estimate to put
the number who are fit subjects for hos
pitfalls, but who are refused admittancc,
at 500. Thirteen hundred are already
under treatment in three hospitals and
Confederate Surgeons themselves say
the number of patients is only limited
by tho scant accommodations provi-
ded. Thus, we have over ten per cent.
of the whole number of prisoners held
classed as sick men, who require most
assiduous and skillful treatment. Yet,
in the essential matter of rations, they
are receiving nothing but corn bread
and sweet potatoes. Wheat is no Ion
ger furnished to any class of our pris-
Oners, and all the sick or well, officers
or privates, are now furnished with a
very poor article of corn bread, in lieu
Of wheat bread"

THE STEAMER RACINE.-The new steamer |
Racine, built during the past winter and
spring in this city for passenger route on
Lake Michigan, has been so far completed as
to go into commission, and accordingly took
her departure last evening for Racine, to and
from the point she is to ply. Steam was got
up yesterday morning for the purpose of ma
king a trial trip on the river, after which she
arrived up at the dock, foot of Bates street, to
take on a few supplies. She has been got up
with good taste, and her general appearance
is equalled by few steamers afloat, and GER
tainly not surpassed. She is propelled by two
powerful low pressure engines, with cylinders
| % by 81 inches and feet stroke. She has
new boilers, and as such, there are no better to
be found afoat, there being two of them ca
pable of generating a suf1iciency of steam to
enable her to have sufficient speed Her cab
ms are of the first class and richly fitted up
and furnished, and we may safely add in this
respect she is not to be outdone. The Racine
is to ply on Lake Michigan, between Grand
Haven and Racine in connection with the Ra-
cine and Mississippi and Grand Haven rail
roads Capt Vim. Wylde, who has been a
navigator of the lakes from an early day,com
