DIE1ks' AID SOCIETIES.
OF the millions and tens Of millions which
The patriotic beneyolcnce Of the people have
contributed to relieve the suffering of our
soldiers, and administer to their wants, not
one pr ocnt* Of it has come out Of the pocs-
cts Of the coppcrbcads. They arc no frcaos
OF the Union soldiers. Their sJmpatmcs arc
with those who fight In buttcrnut gafo.. oat
while ther contribute nothing themselves
for the comfort or relief OF our ofaSc poEs
In the field, they keep up noisy and contln-
ua1 ossault on those who do. Ever since the
div tho Soldiers Sanitary Society was estab-
1fehcd In this city, the organ Of JEFF. Davis
has assailed 1t INCREASINGLY. Every species
of attack has been tried; the integrity Of the
Board OF Managers has been impcaehed :;
they naye been accused Of swindling the dom
OTIS, and consuming tho gifts in high salaries;
of fmisapprppriatlng articles contributed, and
Of cheating both soldiers and people; Of spec
ulating and purloining the moneys in taeir
lands, Of 1apacity and pecu1ation,-in short,
OF every crime in the calendar except mur-
der, rape and arson.
No friend of the soldier, or Of the Union
cause, ever makes such charges against the
Chicago Sanitary Commission. The accasa..
tions are brought by seccssionists and traitors
only, and the sole object Of this nefarious
work is, to canse the people to withholde
their gifts, and discontinue those relief soci-
cites, By making them believe that they ar
unfaithfnlly conducted. By breaking up the
Sanitary Commissions, thousands Of our
brave boys would surely die, Who by means
Of their timely aid arc eaycd, and miserics
and hardships Of the soldiers life would be
unmitigated and unrelieved, md as 4 conse-
uuence, discomfort and dcsertions wonld be
: greatly increased, and thereby the rebel cause
would be promoted Very many of The rc-en-
listmcnts that are taking place are due to
the work Of the Soldiers Aid Societies, which
have made the soldiers life endurable, robbed
ii Of many Of it's dangers, added to its little
comforts, and above all, immensely
intensified the patriotic resolution Of the
army to put down the rebellion at every haz-
ard. The tokens Of 1ove and care sent to the
soldiers from home through these societies
cause them to feel that they are not forgot.
ten; tl!nt the eyes Of their friends are upon
them, and their hearts arc with them in this
terrible struggle Therefore it is the intsrxs'
Of the rebel sympathizers to chill this gym
rathy and cut this cord that mites the ratri.
o:ic citizens with the brave veterans In the
field. Hence, they attack the aid societies
which transmit the gifts Of the people to the
army.
Tic Devil and JeE Davis children, who
are brothers, have sharp eyes, and allow NJ
cl;uce to inflict injury on the Union caust
to escape them. But there will be reckon
ing dug for these secession villains, and thai
not long hence. Some Of them will get ou'
Of Chicago in a greater hurry than they die
out Of Detroit for opening n fire in the real
on the soldiers OF Michigan. The order tt
"dry up n,win be more perc1nptory thar
that issued by Burnside, and there will be nj
revocation Of It through the misplaced inter

why, have since been paid for their kindness
