RELIEVE THE DISTRESSED.
On yesterday scene occurred in our
streets which moved the sympathies of
our souls A number of ladies, perhaps
n dozen, composed of the wives and
daughters of soldier families, who repre-
sented themselves and their families to
have been deprived of anything to eat in
the last few days, save small portion of
corn bread, were seen perambulating our
streets until they came up to a provision
store on Whitehall street. They all en-
tered it, being preceded by tall lady, on
whose countenance rested care and de-
termination. She asked the merchant
the price of bacon. he replied, stating
that it was 81 10 per pound. She re-
monstrated with him as to the impossi-
bility of females in their condition pay
ing such prices for this necessary of life
He remained inexorable in his demand;
the tall lady proceeded to draw from her
bosom long navy repeater, and at the
same time ordered the others in the
crowd to help themselves to what they
liked, which they did accordingly, giving
preference to the bacon, until they had
taken, as we learn, something like 5000
worth They went out, and on being
questioned by some gentlemen as to what
they meant, they related their suffering
condition, of which we have already
spoken.
Seeing what was going on, and feeling
deep sympathy for these ladies, a num-
Der of gentlemen, of very moderate
means, who, themselves, have families to
support, set to word to raise a subscrip-
ton in their behalf. In short time they
raised small sum, and appointed a
Committee, consisting of Messrs, Wm
c. Supple, T. Brown, and j. H. Patillo,
from Major Cunningham's clothing de-
partment, to take charge of it The
committee has placed that fund, not be-
ing able TO find the parties who took the
bacon, they having dispersed, in the hands
of the editor of the Intelligencer, to be-
stow it upon them, or such objects of
charity, at the same time requesting him
to invite others to come up in aid of this
good work-Attdnto Intetligencer, l9th.
