Soldiers Homes.

Ey England is far ahead OF US in re-
gard to the establishment Of soldiers
homes. for her Greenwich Hospital must
| forever stand monument of her benev-
olence and affection with which she re-
CARDS her valiant seamen, who have been
! disabled In her service. Here these old
heroes can talk over their affairs with
Jervis and St. Vincent, Nelson and the
Nile. France has also erected her Ho-
tel des Invalides, as safe and sure re-
treat for her MANNED and invalid soldiers.
The war in which we are at present en-
gagged, demands that we too take some
steps in regard to the organization OF
asylums, where those who have risked
life and lost limbs in the cause of the
Union, can spend the remainder of their
days in peace. The New York Tribune
contains quite An elaborate article on
this subject and its suggestions are so
timely and sensible, that we cannot for
bear quoting it for the benefit Of our
readers;
Subject 10 the supervision of the ma
tional Government, the great bulk of our
armies have been raised by the several
States. Very naturally. therefore, suit
able asylums 10 which our disabled SOL
diers may retreat, and find sustenance
and care, will doubtless be established
in the States where they were enliste2s
For example. New York. Pennsylvania,
and Massachusetts,, have each contribu-
ted largely OF their sons TO fight the bat.
ties Of the Republic. And enlistments
in each were promoted by liberal boun.
Ties. furnished by their own citizens. 1t
is natural, then, that each should feel
warm interest in rendering the declin-
ing days of its own disabled soldiers
cheerful and happy. What, therefore,
could better become the wealthy classes
of the three States we have named than
TO contribute Of their abundance to cs.
tablsh. in some pleasant spots on their
own soil, homes for life for their war
worn veterans who have become perma.
nently disabled through the casualties
of the service =?
Many plans for accomplishing this OBJ.
Jet will doubtless suggest themselves
10 patriotic minds. 1t seems TO US that
private contributions, rather than legis
latiye appropriations, are the most FEAST.
BILE and hopeful mode of initiating such
asylums IS the case demands; and that
they should be organized upon such a
system as would secpre reasonable
competence to the soldier, while at the
same time stimulating him to put forth
his own exer,ions for enhancing his indi.
yidual comforts. 4 fertile farm, with
work shops, and sulta Bile buildings for

sE AN APPEAL TO the People Of the Confeder-
81 ate States-The Directors Of the Young
Mems Cnrsi;an Association OF Richmond respect
fully but earnestly, submit TO the benevolent and
the patriotic throughout the Goa seierate States au
appeal in behalf N the soldier families Ia this
city. Since tho coumeuCeme Ct The war Richmond
tss boeu a refuge for those Who tsve bsen driven
from their homes by our RUTHLESS encmes. Thou
sapis o: helpless woman and children not from The
devastated counties Of Virginia alone, but from
uesrly every State OF the Conedcracy, have sought
gu asylum In our midst. Our citizens have been
sppesled TO IN Eumberless instances TO relieve the
sick and wounded soilers, to furnish shoes and
clothing for soldiers in the Geld and hospital, aud
sf0,d food and sheler for their suffering families.
a,si nobly h1ve'they, In the grea. majority Of in.
st4nces, responded to eyory appesI.
The supplies OF provisions in the city at this time
reduced, and the difficulties OF obtaining 9th
ers by ordinary means 80 numerous and great,
that tho funds contributed for the relief OF the poor
accomplish but little 10 purchasing the necessa-
ries OF life.
Iu written report from the Clothing Bureau II
appears that there arc more than three thousand
females IN this city who are seeking employment
from the government 10 vain, and that those who
obtain work sre not fully employed. The wages
received for their work will not enable thesa poor
women to procure suiiicency of the plsinest fC0d
Tor themselves and children. Without assistance,
then, from the city and country generally many
instances Of actual starvation must have occurred.

Lions for the purchase OF supplies, 18th for gratGi

employed for the purpose have not becE abs to pro

We have been surprised to hear Of the
large quantities of provisions which the
Yankees have unearthed during their va
rious explorations of Virginia. Regions in
which it was impossible for straitened
families in our cities to purchase peck Of
flour or meal, and which the officers of the
Government found as dry as desert, have
had their resources developed by Yankee
raiders in a manner wonderful to behold
Whilst we sincerely sympathize with private
families who have been plundered by the
Yankees, we have no pity to spare for
hoarders and eXtortioners, who can look
calmly upon the sufferings of their fellow
beings and speculate upon their miseries
Such enemies of mankind are not objects CT
ward of their deeds.
Those OF this class who have escaped may
learn lesson from recent events. We do
not appeal to their humanity. We would
inst as soon appeal to the Yankees for bread
rs to them. But we advise them TO look to
their own interests. They would better let
the Government and the people have their
surplus al moderate remuneration than
hoard it UP and expect it to be safe. Ii they
do not sell 1t for something, the Yankees
may get 1t for nothing Even the ingenious
device of hiding it in the earth did not avail,
during the late raids, some who adopted
that sagacious device to evade Confederate
search. The inevitable African, who could
keep the secret well enough from the Cor
lad Ia TO- 20.
guided his Yankee brethren at once to TIE
place OF concealment. As race of warriore.
the Yankees may not have 6qualled the
Greeks and, Romans; but as thieves and
robbers, we defy the world to surpass them
in ingenuity aud enterprise. There is no.
thing which they will NOT take, from the
last crust OF poverty TO the diamond on the
laay's finger. There Is no place secure fro,
their explorations. Scarcely q county in
Virginia which they have not visited. North
carolina may soon have TO tell the same
rare. those sections OF the two States
"hca have hitherto escaped could not get
ID 1ianca for their goods and chattels in
apy insurance COMPANY il the world. The
rest disposition that any man can make OF
ljs property IN these iimes is to act with the
characteristic i!sr kness, openncse, aud gen
sefofityo OF tEe Southern nature to remember
that we are al al Dat In our STERN tossed yes
sci, and can only escape shipwreck by united
Efforts, cordlai co operation, and reciprocal
aid ana comfort. We cannot expect Yankees
TO pity Us. We must learn 10 pity and os-
sist each other.
