STONE GETS SCARED AND CHAN.
GES HIS BASE.

Stone was brave mana patriotic
man-we may add a valian, man, says
the Davenpor. Democrat, just abou. the
time he was nominated for Governor over
Fi,z Henry Warren. So much attached
was he 10 the service in the army tina: be
uter y refused to stay outside the tented
field any longer than it would take him to
rush back by the swiftest conveya.ces.-
VIII lie at keokuk, on his flight to the
army, where his sword lay rusting, Stone
snatched moment to pen letter to the
people Of Iowa, the following being an
extract:
IL desire you to inform our friends
throughout the State, that am now on
my way to Vicksburg, where expect to
remain until my regiment, now much re.
duced, is relieved from active duties in
the field, and ! can be spared from it,
without detriment to the public service. 1t
is but just to say that, in accepting the
nomination at Des Moines, there was no
understanding or agreement, on my part
at least, that | should resign my position
in the army before the election, and en-
gage in the political canvass Of the State.
indeed, l should not hare accepted the
honor so generously rendered me, upon any
such terms. The noble men with whom
have served so long in the field, have a
higher claim on my services, than any po,
litlcal friends in the State; and yielding
to what conceive to be an imperative
public duty, l shall remain with them as
my presence there may be needed"
Stone has sheathed his sword, resigned
his position and left the army. He has
come to fugle for an Office that he tells his
friends he would not have been candidate
for upon any other condition than tina. he
should stay with his regiment until after
the election! Aha, Stone has your use,

The Poor OF CLEvELAND.- noticed in
your columns day or two since, q call from
the worthy chaplain ct the General Hospital
at Camp Cleveland, Father Beatty, for con-
tributiOns to the Hospital for a Christmas
dinner for the soldiers in the Hospital. The
suggestions of the chaplain originated in his
own kind heart, for it is restless in desires to
do good to those to whom he ia specially
called to minister, and as such appreciate
them, and you will permit me to add my sug-
gestions also in this matter:
It is well known to you and your readers
that undor the excellent care of Surgeon
MeCIurg, whose whole heart is in the per-
fOrmance of his duties, the Hospital is one
Of the best, If not the best in the Uuion that
in it no patient is lacking in any of the wants
and comforts that can be provided in any
placs-home only excepted. Time and time
again have the benevolent Of city and ooun-
ty, on special occasions poured in their deli
cacies bountifulIY, and scarcely day passes
in which the invalids are not tho recipients
of benefactions from immediate friends; all
of which is not only proper but worthy Of
the highest praise. But when it is considered
that this is the season when the poor Of the
city feel the extremity of their poverty in all
its intensity, and when the sympathies Of the
kind hearted are taxed to the utmost, 1t
seems to me that the dinner to the soldiers
should be dispsnssd with. Were the soldiers
needy, should, with all my heart, second
the suggestions of Father Beatty-but we all
know they are not, and that hundreds Of poor
in the city are this day without 8 pound
of fuel or food and without neoes-
| sary clothing. I fully believe from
| my experience with soldiers, that if
the question were submitted to those in the
Hospital, they would say without hesitation
"By all means give your bounties to your
poor and needy, and we will rbjoics with you
on the Great Holiday, that while grateful
country cares for Us, q benevolent cityoares for
them" Among the poor are many widows
and orphans Of soldiers, who have died in
the service, and as they were dear to the pat
riot in his life time, they should be specially
dear to all of us whose prosperity is due, in
| a great measure, to their sacrifice. 1 trust,
under the circumstances, that Father Beatty
will consider the matter in all Its bearings,
and if he does feel confident that he too
will say, BY all means give your bOunties
to the poor and needy, and we will tahe care
Of those in the Hospital"
Now, Father Beatty, suggest that DR..
DcClurg and yourself furnish, as know you
will, good dinner for the boys in the Hos
pital, and let those who are able to contrib
ute, furnish good dinner for the destitute
families in the different Wards; and would
it not be well to have a committee appointed
from each Ward in the city to receive and
distribute contributions? am sure the boys
will respond hearty amen to this.

CoHsoRIPFs TO THE FRoHF - EERoLLED

your fellow citizens have formed an organ-

In Congress they are proposing changes in
the CONSUMPTION act. If they manifest an
intention speedily to abolish the distinction
between the first and second classes, and re-
peal the $500 commutation clause, there may
be at once panic in the recruit market; the
price Of substitutes may 20 up, so as to rem

bounties to volunteers. Then the drafted
man who "cannOt possibly CO." will have
his candle lighted at both ends, and he must

We hold three public meetings this week
at the Engine House on Champlain street,
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings.
Come out to these meetings, and your time
and exertions will not be lost. Every man
can do something to further the cause. He
can give subscription, pick up recruit,
