APPEAL FROM GOV. BR0UGH.
Supplies Needed for Ohio Soldiers.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT ONO,
COLUMBUS, July Is, 1864,


Columbus, July 15, 1864,
To the Aid Societies and People of Ohio I:
During my Eastern trip witnessed much
of the working of our State agencies, and par
ticularly the Ohio Relief Association at Wash
ington. They are doing world Of good to
our sick and wounded men, and the gratitude
and coGdence of our soldiers are unbounded.
They are cheered and encouraged by these
ministrati0ns of kindness, aud regard their
State and its people with emotions Of pride
and pleasure The Eastern Department has
been literally supplied up to this time; but
the addition of our National Guard to the fer
cos in that section imposes new hurthens up
on US; and within the present month our sup
Piles will be exhausted. Such as Can be pur-
chased with money our agents are continually
providing, but we require the aid of our peo-
pie to relieve the increasing wants of our sol
ders.
On my return find strong appeals coming
up from Louisville, Nashville and Chattanooga.
From :he latter point, our indefatigable agent
writes: ''SeDd US rags, lint, bandages, shirts,
drawers aud socks" We have about l400
sick and wounded at Camp Dennisou, about
tue SdulG DumUeE at anu hUOut AOulsNAte
over 2O0O at Nashville, and the same number
at Chattanooga. Our agencies are supplied
with help-good, earnest, men, who are labor
ing with energy night and day. They spare
no expenditure where money can he used to
advantage but they want supplies-articles
they cannot purchase, and which our generous
people can furnish. The State pays freight
and all expenses of distribution. Will you
help us ?
As we understand the wants of the various
sections here, the best course is to send sup
plies direct to Quartermaster General Merrill
Barlow, who will follow them to the point OF
destination.
l find that one of the most useful and, indeed,
necessary articles in our hospitals is the vari-
Gus preparations of the blackberry, such as
cordial, syrup, and The fruit canned. A Sur
geon said to me at Washington that every bot
tie of blackberry cordial or syrup that came
into the hospital saved human life Think
Of that, little boys and girls, and take up your
baskets, and go pick them full of blackberriea.
You can thus aid our brave men who are fight
ing to preserve the institutions of this coun
try for you in the future. There is a syrup
prepared from the root of the blackberry,
which many OF the good women of our coun-
try know how to compound, that is also inval-
liable.
make this appeal in confidence that our
