To the Aid Societies and the people of

Durrg my late Eastern trip, witnessed
much of tho working OF our State Agei-
cies, and particularly the Ohio Relief Asso-
citation at Washington. They are doing a
world of good to our sick and wounded
men. and the gratitude and confidence Of
our soldiers are unbounded. They are
chcored and encouraged by these minispa-
tions OF kindness, and 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
force in that section, imposes new burthens
upon US, and within the present month our
sup plies will be exhausted. Such as can be
purchased with money our agents are con-
tinually providing. but we require tho aid OF
our people to relieve the increasing wants
of our soldiers.
On my rctorn l find strong appeals com

fatigable agent writes, "Send us rags, lint,

As we understand the wants of tho various

supplies direct to Quarter master General

French Opinion of our Firhting,

In The leading articles OF French

ed at the immense number of forces en-.
gagged, as well as the courage and endu-
rance display by beth sides. The general
tone of these articles may be learned from

contended for three consecutive years for
Union or Secession, have at last succeeded
in attracting the universal attention of the
Old World by the magnitude Of their slrug.
gle, which surpasses anything that history
has made us acquainted with. Xe.xes and
Darius had under their command large
armies. but never did their troops contend
for an entire week, without giving signs of
OF exhaustion and Encouragement.
We have accounts OF battles lasting
three days. but in no case have battles en-
dured longer than that time without the
combatants.having changed their position
Either one side or the other has remained
master ofthe field by the flight or destruc.

United States to give to the world this
spectacle, as if 20 prove that. in war as
well as in other respects, she takes the
lead. Whatever may be the rasult of this
contest, it will leave behind it a memora

Americans. No longer can the absurd
reproach be raised against the Northern
army, that it is composed of mercenaries.
