There's no mistaking the temper Of the
loyal people Of Chicago, however it may be
elsewhere. At meeting Of the Board Of
Trade on Monday last . vote was taken
On q motion to send supplies Of vegetables
70 the soldiers down the Mississippi
When the vote was put one man, not un-
derstanding the question, voted no. Ex-
Mayor Rumsey, not doubling but that he
who voted no was of the secession stripe,
knocked him dom. An explanation fol
lowed, which showed that mistake had
been made, for the gentleman, who was
really loyal and patriotic citizen, had
voted misunderstanding. Not much
aeoneiliation sbout that Ez-Mayor.

Correspondence Of the NY Evening Post.l
WAsHEoTos, Feb. %.
A statement that the Government has
decided to call out six or eight hundred
thousand new troops, is going the rounds
Of the papers. It is untrue. The Govern
nsut has net yet come to any conclusion
upon that point. The President, who Of
course will finally decide so important a
question as that, has, by no means, come TO
the conclusion that il is wise TO raise new
army Of tWo-thirds Of million of men.
Some Of the best Generals in the service
assert, that while we need enough men TO
make up the losses byrdisesse and dis
charges, the great want Of the country is
the wise management of the army already
In the field. A draft Of two hundred
thousand would keep the present army up
all summer; and If it is fought with any
sbility at all, the rebellion can be subdued
long before next autumn However this
may be, it is not true that the Government
has decided TO call out six or eight hun
dred thousand men, and the statement is
calculated to cause alarm, without accom-
plishing any good purpose.
It Is said that the Census Office esti-
mates that the number Of males in the
loyal States between the ages of 20 and
IS, viii number :, 300, 900, and that at least
], 100000 are ft for duty. It is thought
that, upon an average, about one in three
or four will pay the $500, in lieu of the
personal service. If therefore, 100000
troops sA5Gld be called in April or May
into the field, it would give the Govern
ment a fund Of thirty millions which il
cnu1d ure IN hounfinz far the Tnurpoaa of
inducing the old soldiers, whose term Of
service is about to expire, tore-enlist. The
Secretary Of War can offer each soldier the
sum Of $500, cash paid at once, and it is
believed that such an offer will retain the
majority Of the troops who will be entitled
10 leave in the summer months. 1t is also
expected that under certain provisions Of
the Militia bill at least 10000 deserter;
will Voluntarily or involuntarily return
70 The army.

EDITORS LEADER The Musical Assoois-

Congregational Church on the evening of
March the 4th, for the benefit of the Soldiers
Aid Society. A gOOdly number present, ap-
preciated and greatly enjoyed the music,
and the Aid Society received substantial
benefit.
During recess, the Secretary of the Aid

The number Of barrels, boxes, &C., Of hos
pital stores packed and forwarded during
that time, was as follows:
July 9th-l barrel clothing and provisions.
August Gth-1 barrel clothing and provisions.
August 20th-1 barrel toasted bread.
September 24th-l bbl clothing and provisions.
october 3Oth-1 box clothing and provisions.
About the middle Of December, barrel of
hospital stores was packed up, and half bar
rel of pickles ready, but on account Of the
very bad roads, they we're not forwarded un-
til the 18th of January.
When We take into consideration that
nearly 800 have been expended by the So
ciety in the purchase of materials alone for
work that sheets, PilloW-eases, towels, and
other articles of hospital use have been freely
contributed; that fruAs, dried and canned
and other provisions necessary for the sick,
have been included in nearly every box or
barrel sent; it is safe to conclude that the
value Of the stores forwarded by the Society
has not been less than $500, or double the
amount Of the money received.
The ladies of the Society gratefully ae-
knowledge their indebtedness to the youag
people of TwinsbUrg, and all others who have
assisted them, either with money or work, in
the labor Of love in which they are engaged,
and hope that they will continue in this
manner, to strengthen the hearts and the
hands Of their brethren in the field. While
tsey are in want, our efforts must not flag,
nor our zeal abate.
Since the commencement of this year, the
ladies have been unremitting in their efforts,
and already can show very gratifying re-
suits. BETA.

SUFFERING among Oar Troops at VicIzsburE.
a correspondent Of the st. Louis Repub-
hean presents q horrible picture Of the
sondition Of the sick in the hospitals near
Fioksburg. The statement is being wide
y copied, and naturally sxcites the great
est interest and apprehension among those
who have friends in Grants army. We
are assured BY gentleman just from
that point, and who has had good OppOr-
tunity for judging Of what ne speaks, that
the report is exaggerated-that although
there Is q great deal Of sickness, those who
are in hs hospitals are generally veil
treated and cared for BY the Surgeons, as
sisted by the Agents Of the Sanitary Com
mission. Ofcourse there are exceptions,
and individual cases Of suffering, which
ere extremely narrowing, but The general
ity Of cases are well cared for.
The writer in the Republican says:
The principal hospital Of the camp, be-
fore the arrival Of the new hospital boats
from above, was 8 collection of negro
quarters, situated at the upper edge Of the
osmp, on 9 small bayou, and known as
tBallard's Huis.' There are about forty
Of them, and in these huts are confined
about four hundred patients, all huddled
together in a noisome, dark, noxious,
filthy atmosphere, the dead, the dying, and
the invalid in one common lot. There is
literally nothing anywhere to be seen
which resembles or gives idea Of hospi-
tai, unless, indeed, it be q row Of newly
made graves not far distant
We are assured that while it is true that
hospitals are established in negro quar-
ters, they are comfortable, clean and airy,
and every way infinitely superior to tent
hospitals. The location is as good as can
be found in the vicinity, and there is as
little cause for complaint as in any gen
sraI hospitals.
We would say nevera word to shield the
hospital surgeon who really neglects or
cruelty treats his patients;-heis is craven
wretch, who deserves to have burning
words Of scOrn hissed into his ear through
all time, kut we do protest against giving
widespread cause for fear and disafection
without sufficient foundation.

The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1863-02-28
From the New York Times, Feb. IA.

There could be no more absurd and short
sighted proposition, than that urged by GER
tain newspapers in and out of this city-that
the U. 5. Coast Survey should be suspended.
in order that its employees may take direct
part in the fighting operations of the war.
These persons seem to suppose that modern
warfare is simply matter of shooting and
bayoneting, that science, skill and intellect
have no part in it, and that no far-reaching pre-
parations are required in the conduct of naval
and military operations.
Out OF the small force now engaged on the
Coast Survey, there are no less than torty-
one skilled persons employed in their appro-
pirate sphere, in furnishing for naval and mil
itary expeditions the reconnoissances and sur
veys absolutely necessary TO the progress of
those expeditions; and ii the Coast Survey
operations were now suspended. every one OF
these persons would actually and summarize
be withdrdicn from the military and naval SER
vice of the country altogether.

ployes-whose services he acknowledges in

Admiral Porter in recent report, praises
highly the officers Of this survey who are with
him, and speaks Of their services on the va
zoo ana the Arkansas in the strongest terms.
In iact, from every inland and coast naval Of
hcer comes but one voice in the matter, and
that Is, that the work of the coast survey and
the services OF its officers are indispensable.
BESIDES these more obvious labors Of the
corps, there were the enormous number of
yorty:fre thousand copies of maps and charts

of this war, by the Coast Survey Office and
its efficient body of employees, which would
be rendered impossible by its suspension. We
hope there is not a single man in Congress,
as certainly there is not an intelligent officer
in our navy or army, who would indorse the
desire of those who wish to deprive the coun-
try of the aid of this most powerful auxiliary.
