CALL FOR SupPL1Es.-Col. Compton receiv-
ed the following letter from Mrs, Wittenmyer
yesterday. 1t portrays the fearful state of
suffering in the army, and calls earnestly for
help. We trust it may not be UNDECIDED.
The ladies Of the Soldiers Aid Society are
requested to meet at their rooms this morn
ing at o'clock. A full attendance is desired.
HELENA, Ark. Aug. II.
Col. CoMPT0N-De1r Sri have ms ruct-
ed my secretary at St. Louis, Mo, Mr.. Mathis,
to send you draft for fifty dollars $500 to
be paid into the treasury of the Soldiers Aid
Society for the purpose Of procuring such
supplies as can best be obtained in your mar
ket. have no words to portray the amount
Of sickness and suffering here. There are
four thousand sick unprovided for But few
supplies of any kind, but few medicines and
but few sanitary supplies. l am greatly sur
prised and grieved to find them in so deplor-
able condition, but the sudden movement of
our army against Little Rock has thrown this
large number of sick in here, with no provis
ions for their accommodation + = Z q +
Oh! if our ladies could have walked with
me this day as I made my rounds among our
sick F.! There is not one woman that has the
heart of woman but would have felt new
zeal in squirting them to greater efforts.
A shipment Of goods made at St. Louis for
Yicksburg will be down tomorrow. viii
have the boat stopped and take off part of the
supplies. That will be some relief, hope.
Now this is to urge you to greater efforts.
Hundreds of sick men here are living on army
rations. Unless they get help they must sink.
Can it be that our people will hesitate at a
time like this !? r, Are there no hearts to pity,
no hands to save? 's'' O. :" 81

A SPEcuLAmxa MAYOR. Were Honest
Brinton Darlington to inform q nonresident
taxpayer that taxes could be paid in County
Orders, at discount of IS per cent, and
proceed to sell him such orders at such price,
and pocket the discount, Copperheads would
say he was dishonest and swindier.
But then there is difference between the
ofaceof County Treasurer. and thes Mayor
"ofa one horse city," al ven As in the Off.
GERS. What We would be understood IS say
ing, is this: Somebody-Bailey 4, Co., We
suppose wanted to exhibit Grand comb.
nation of Circus and Menagerie in this
goodly town. To do sothey must first OBJ
tain from that high dignitary, the Mayor, q
license, or permit, to "show," and then, too,
they must pay something for that permit. The
law provides that the City Marshal or Col
lector shall collect this license fee-but then
there are exceptions to all general rules
The Mayor had somehow come into possess
sion Of an amount of City Scrip, for which
we suppose he paid in current funds, fifty
cents on the dollar. When the "show man"
come to get his license, the Mayor, in the
kindness Of his heart, said, ''if you pay this
fee IN City Scrip, it will answer just as we'll"
But, quoth he of the menagerie, what shall
it profit man, or what shall man give in
exchange for scrip? His generous nature,
still uppermost, and still willing to ''take a
stranger in" His Honor replied, "City scrip.
is at Is per cent. discount" "Then," said the
Snowman, whittier shall so to find script"
to which the portly Mayor, with much haste,
replied-'go not at all-lo here am 1, and
my scrip you shall have at thirty per cent
discount" and he Of the Hippopotamus gave
to the Mayor seventy cents in green-backs
for one hundred cents in City Scrip, yea,
even unto twenty times. The Mayor made
his 20 per cent out of somebody-the show
man made 80 per cent out of the city. r
Honest men will say that our Mayor swim
died the city in the transaction, because that
',,soulless thing" would have been five dollars
better off had he not been quite so anxious
to speculate. But then Copperhead;>m is
luxury, and all luxuries cost something.
