STATE OF VlHGINIA,
WnEELlNG, january Is, 1853

WHEELING, January Is, 1853
An earnest appeal is hereby made to all
loyal citizens of Virginia, and of counties
in the State of Ohio bordering on the Ohio
river opposite Virginia, to do everything in
their power to apprehend and hand over to
the nearest authorities all soldiers who are
deserters from their regiments or corps.
Read the annexed extract from General
Orders Ne. 3, Headquarters Department of
the East, New York City, January 18th,
1868. issued by command of Major General
Wool:
ain these times of danger to our COM
mon country, no one is exempt from rem
deriug every aid in his power to check the
demoralizing influence caused by the great
number of men who are cownrdly Sinking
the duties which they have sworn to per.
form, while those who remain faithfully at
their posts are thus compelled 10 perform
double duty. Every citizen who does not
exert himself in remedying this nonstrous
evil which SO seriously impairs the eff
cheney aud discipline of the army, snnc-
tions more or less the perpetration of n
crime which is liable to be panisned bv
death, no matter what time NAV have
elapsed since the 6escrtiOn.
The sooner a deserter surrcnders himself
to tho proper authority the more likely will
he be to escape severe punishment; while,
on the other hand, the longer he remains
absent the greater will be the certainty of
the extreme penalty of the Law being in-
flicted upon him"

ing and provisions from the Soldiers Aid
Society, and from some other societies, and
kind friends in and around Weeeling, l
have been able to alleviate some suffering
in the hospitals. But there is yet pressing
need for more supplies. A very few days
will consume the clothing aud provisions
left for the sick; and to US they look for
relief.
The number OF new patients will average
weekly 100, and for them some provision
should be made They need shirts, draw
ers, handkerchief, towels, socks, potatoes,
green and dried apples, canned and dried
fruits, tomatoes, jeilies, domestic wines,
butter and reading matter
Will you not do something for them q
You who have already given, look again in
