BEGIN THE coon WORK !!

DtuEH fEaE GUUD HVEA
We, took occasion some weeks since
to call attention to the coming neces-
stiles Of our soldiers this winter, and
to ask Tor them at the hands OF our
people a feeling Of sympathy, express
led in acts Of kindness, in the shape ui
a3coniforsable clothes, wherewith Gun
noble defenders may withstand The
cold winiry blasts OF an outdoor LIE.
! We do not feel that those words fell
| upon unwilling ears, or that they, OF
t.the desires they may have awakened
to provide necessary comforts for ON
brave Lnt poorly clad soldiers, will be
undecided, but since we have heard 81
80 organizations, as we were wont 10
see IN the more early days of.the war,
/ TO aid in supplying the necessities ct
our brethren in the field, andasi win
ter is upon us, we are induced to add
d gentle reminder to our patriotic and
| benfyoltnt people Of the urgent 'neces-
lily lpr Immediately making prepela-
tions for .the comfort d. our soldiers

We would respectfully and capaestis
call Decentralization lot hesneccsiiicsof
the case, and request them to form
anew their sewing societies, Which
should now be knitting organizations
and glove making institutions. There
is not heart within our midst which
docs not swell with exultant pride at
the bare mention Of the deeds Of the
men of our valley and further west,
who have upon many holly contested
fields but intensified their right to
the soubriqu5t they SO molly won I'M
der the gallant and lamented JACK
SON on the field Of first Manassas, and
still stand as a "Stonewal" on the bor-
der hurting back the persistant ad-
vances Of our implacable foe, thereby
rendering the homes of their friends
safe from the intrusions of the vile and
yandal adversary, with whom we are
forced to contend, so long as one man
remains in the attitude Of pilIAger
Of our property or a desecrater Of our
family hearths. What can we do for
these brave men Of our mountains
which will nerve them with 50 much
renewed strength and zeal for the
struggle, in which they have all along
been SO gleriously victorious, as. to re-
mind them Fof the tender sympathy
and loving kindness Of those at home,
by the reception Of even a few neces-
sary comforts from their own native
hills !? Then let US commence the
work at once, and let each neighbor-
hood and county in the state but care
for its own little band Of patriots, and
they will have the proud sconsclen~
eiousness of having aided, in no slight
degree, in maintaining q wall of ada-,
mant on our frontier over which no
ont-numbering hosts can Chamber, nor
through which no invading enemy
can pierce. Let the ladies be-
Sin the work at once, and thousands
of grateful hearts in the ranks viii
swell their praises, and thousands Of
brave men be preserved to render
their homes forever free from the ruth-
less invader. kgia

of the distrust felt in regard to the is

There seems to be a persistent desire
on the part of many to increase this
distrust by assailing all Quarter Mas

from acting badly, should be held
up to public censure. The soldiers
WILL get the benefit of every article
which may be sent to them thro' eth

prominent and responsible position
of Quarter Master at this point and
none need fear a lnisapplication of
