HOSPITAL STORES FOR THE 30rII MAINE.
"A correspondent Of the Kennebec Journal
thinks the paragraph we published more than
a week since in relation to the Sanitary sup
plies furnished the 50th Maine by the Ladies'
Sanitary Committee of Portland, "insnuates
censure aud a slur upon the noble women of
Augusta" aud further states that the Ladies
Aid Society of Augusta proposed TO supply
both the both and the 30th regiments "with
the necessary hospital stores for the voyage"
aud for this purpose box was put up for each
regiment, which was taken with them.
There was not the slightest intention on the
part of the writer of the paragraph in the
Press to sur the ladies of Augusta. He only
stated what was represented to him, and what
icds true, viz: that the Ladies' Sanitary Com
mittec of this city received an intimaton
that the 3oth would leave Augusta without
such suitable supplies for hospital stores as
were needed. This intimaton was given to
them Saturday, the day previous to the sail
ing of the regiment, and, rs we have since
learned, after it was known that stores had
been pu. up at Augusta for the regiment
In order that the ladies of Augusta shall
have full credit for their deeds of kindness,
we publish the following list OF Sanitary sup
plies put up by them for the whole regiment
10pounds corn meal; G pounds corn starch !;
lbs. Maizena,; IL pound arrow-root; bag Of
oyster crackers; fdozen lemons; quart of
choice brandy; quart tincture camphor IL
is Pain Killer; bottles currant wine; gal
lon condensed cider; 9 cans condensed coffee !;
cans condensed milk; boxes mustard; 2
hop pillows; @ sheets; 6 cotton shirts;
WOODEN shirts; pairs drawers; pairs car
pet slippers; 3 pairs wooden socks; handker-
chiefs, bandages and cloth; pins, needles,
thread, tape, yarn, &c.
We would also add that a similar request
was made to the Ladies COMMITTEE herej by
Surgeon Day of the 10Th regiment, and that a
large box was put up for that regiment by
them. The 10Th was also supplied with a
large box Of reading matter, including some
five or six dozen of the Army Song Book,
given by the Sabbath School of the LIST Bap-
list Church, $50 copies of the New Testament,
&c. The 30th was served in this same way.
We have always supposed that the citizens
Of the place where regiment have been sta
TONED for some length of time, and where the
soldiers had spent thousand of dollars, would
feel it their duty, when the regiment left, to
see that all necessary Sanitary supplies, and
other comforts were furnished for the soldiers
If the box above mentioned from Augusta
was all that was needed by the 1000 soldiers
of the Both regiment then the ladies of Agus-
ia have fulfilled their duty.
