SANITARY COMMISSION
FIFTH ARTICLE.

Many an earnest, pleading letter comes to us
from iowa and country, written by women whose
hears are full Of tears for their o0untry's misery
AMI OF aspirations for their oountry's vel
fare, praying for some channel through which
their devotion may pour itself out in deeds. We
read these letters not with sadness that women
'an do so little, blu, with gladness that they can
do 81 much. II
That we can do 40 little for the war-is this
the cause OF their complaint Il cannot be
for, leaving the actual army work out Of the
account they do actually more than the men.

Instances to their duty. The difficulty cannot
be that women have not opportunities enough for
impulses in connection with the war. They have
almost every facility This is sufficiently proved
by the fact TINT the war has reused them to such

Banks, Campaign in Louisiana.

In tue midst of the Encouragement caused by
the reverse GU the Rsppshannock, the achieve
ments Of GeDeral Banks and his army in Lonisi.
ana are apt TO be overlooked AMI forgotten, al
though they are Of the greatest impt Ttauce and
equal in glory the original capture Of New Or
leans by Faragut. We therefore copy from Il
New York contemporary mn able summary of
Banks operations iii this short hut brilliant
campaign, and ask attention to it, as iIlustra-
ting the real progress we make toward the sup
preston of the rebellion. 1t will no doubt, sur
prise many persons, that in the short space of
two weeks General Banks marched his army ono
hundred and sixty miles, defeated in detail and
dispersed an army OF twenty thousand rebels,
fought battles Mt Bethel Place, New Ibetin
Franklin, VeTmilli0nyille, and other places, lost
less thnn two hundred men, captured 500 rebel
soldiers, captured or destroyed oil their gun
boats and transports, and did the same for their
extensive salt works, foundry, machine shups
aud supply depOts, on which toe rebel armies in
the southwest depend for salt, cannon, man
chinery for railroads and steamboats,, aud pro-
visions
The army which was thus destroyed was
meditat:ng an attack upon New Orleans and in
reality kept up the communication of Vicksburg
aud Port Hudson with Texas and Arkansas.
Banks march TO Port Hudson was, doubtless a
feint intended to deceive the enemy, for it had
been kept in circulation for long time that
Banks was prepared to attack Port Hudson, and
the enemy thought to take advantage of his
absence by recapturing New Orleans. Not ca
pecting him TO move in any other direction, az
they know that the siege Of Port Hudson would
be a prolracted one, they we're completely sur
prised when, suddenly Tetreatiag to Baton
Rouge, he rapidly mached his whole army to al
tack them in detail, and accomplished the move
ment SO well that he beat them everywhere
General Banks has thus fully justified the
confidence reposei in him by the government
aud the public, and proved himself as able in the
held as he has been in the councils of State. He
has recognized that the true safety Of New Or
leans was best to be sought by crushing out the
rebel forces scattered abroad through Louisiana.
General Buffers able administration OF affairs in
New Orleans left but little reason to fear any
further difficulty from the rebel emissaries and
Influences there, and General Banks has properly
followed it up by reducing the parishes to sub
mission, md teaching Wholesome lesson to all
maleonieuts throughout the state.-Amsrican.
