Under call for subscriptions to the Fund for
the relief of the families Of volunteers in August
( 1862, a sum upwards of ten thousand dollars
+ ($l005ll has been paid to the Treasurer. Of this
amount nearly nine thousand dollars (SS520,2l)
ances, commencing on the 18Th of November, to
n FIVE hundred and forty-six (546) families There
now remain unexpended fifteen hundred and
thirty dollars and seventy-nine cents 1850, 10y,
4 which is but little more than enough for the
4 payment Of another allowance, and unless further
contributions are made to the Fund, it would
be entirely exhausted just at the season when
relief and assistance are especially needed The
collection and distribution of this money have
taxed the time and attention Of the those who
undertook the work, but having witnessed the
substantial good which has resulted from their
labors, they feel bound by u sense of duty md
humanity to again appeal to the generosity
4 Of their fellow citizens to replenish the Fund
which has proved to be the source of incalcua-
Bile benefits to a most deserving class of people,
The contributors, past and future, may rest at
sured that their iberality can find few worther
objects than that for which this Fund is intended
1t is well known that the pay of the soldiers is
insufficient at the best, TO the support of their
families, and the Inconvenience and the distress
Of the latter have been aggravated by the delay
and irreguarity in the payment Of the army.
Under these circumstances, that these families
have strong claim TO our care and protection,
& no just and loyal man will deny The Delaware
Volunteers have done nobly and we'll. The
Peninsula, Maryland and Virginia campaigns
attest their endurance and valor. The fallen
brave in front of Richmond, at Antietam and
fredericksburg, with mute eloquence, excite
our grateful admiration and SORROW; and
the veterans who survive give living testi-
mony, by their honorable scars, Of the
peris and dangers through which they have
passed. The war-worn survivors are still facing
the foe, with stout hearts ready to encounter the
shock of arms, trusting TO the honor the justice
and the patriotism of their fellow citizens Al
home to save their families from destitution
Shall the widows and orphans of the slain, shall
the wives and children of the living bur absen
soldiers, be left uncared for by US who view th
horrors of war ut a distance, and whose persona
safety aud property are rendered secure by tn
trials and blood of those gallant men?
1t is desirable TO obtain the means to continu
bi-Weeky payments until the end of winter
The allowance given to each family is not NOR
than eight or less than four dollars per month
In addition to the money paid out, two hundre
(2OO) cords of wood and seven hundred (70O
loaves of bread have been distributed, and ais
considerable quantity of groceries.
Subscriptions and contributions may be mad
