The following general order was issued by
General Lockwood at Maryland Heights and
Harper's Ferry on Sunday;
1t being understood that no enemy is in
force near this command, all labor aud mill

the usual inspections, parade guard and

Where it can be done, our noble volunteers
should be permitted to enjoy the sabbath

glad that Gen Lockwood has lnaugurated
this policy in his command.

SANITARY COMMISSIONS

When the Womens Pennsylvania Branch of
the United States Sanitary Commission was or
gained, only a few months since, how little did
any of US realize that the battle field was In be
changed from Virginia to Pennsylvania How
little did we dream that war with all It's horrors,
could visit us amy nenrcr than II had already
done that our towns were TO be plundered or
shced our farm houses burned our forests
leyeed, aud our beautiful valleys laid waste =
We worked steadily aud faithfully in our mp
pointed task of awakening interest in the Sanitary
Commission throughout the Sintc, that in this
great efficient channel, might be concentrated n
large pnrt Of the supplies which we thought were
to be sent to distant hospitals aud far away bat
tle-felds The tide which set towards the poto
mac.has turned. aud flowing back to the Susque-
hnnna come the stores which you so generously
sent us in answer to the appeals which we made
to you. Our husbands, our brothers, aud our
sous, are now to be ministered to, with the very
delieacies and comforts which you were uncon-
sciously providing for them,
Your letters bespeak your affection for aud
confidence in this Commission and it is not mis-
placed, Not one day too sOOn for this emergen-
cy was this Branch organized; for through il,
you have learne 10 trust the wise and Impartial
distribution OF the Sanitary Commission only
just in time to feel assured that its great arm will
extend around your most cherished ones.
From Pttston we have Il letter speaking 80
tenderly of 9" our dedr Commission" that if we
had it by US, We should bu tempted to make an
extract. Others speak Of dear ones, who hive
gone, or are going fully alive to ''the duties an /
responsibilities of the hour :" and trusting to the
Commission to relieve the suffering which they
know must come in " this terrible exigency. -
These watchers at home, have our sympathy and
our prayers. We know their anxieties by like
experience But we will not idly lament and
mourn the trouble that has visited us. We will
prove by our redoubled exertions that The igomen
ef Pennsylvania are rs ready Ia do " their part
in this great struggle, " hs are their husbands,
sons aud brothers. Let us emulate the example
