Special Appeal to tho Ladies Of Wheeling

=! half OF tho Approaching Fair
.l.,- D.. and Psstiyal. 30 10.

Ladies, the Fair has been postponed a week,
merely for the purpose of giving yon more time
to contribute more effectually to tho income and
success, and every lady should at once, see what
shecan do for it, and then apply herself promptly
to her pious duty. Some can do one thing, some
another; some can make up needle work; some
can prepare pastry, and others can labour in the
vineyard: ALL CAN Do SOMETHING; all
can Influence each other, and without your hear
ty support, and cooperation, the Fair will lack
an important element of success. Will not every
lady in the country save up, prepare and contrib
ute articles in their peculiar departments; and
will not the ladies of the towns at once 20 to work
with earnest zeal in this holy csusel ..i.
Ladies assemble yourselves under your various
Church and School and Society organi "a tons, in
your social and family circles, and plan and do, all
can do, something. and none should be satisfied
unless they do No such object has over before
cl simed your philantnropic efforts; God grant none
ever mayagain
Nor should any political or religious consdera-
tions chill the heart Of any one. We plead alike
for the souls snd bodies Of the sick and wounded of
both armies-of all sects and many natOns-that
fall to our charge. No distinction is ever made
All are treated just alike by both the Christian
and Sanitary Commissions
Of all charitable objects ever pressed upon your
benevolence this is the most important the most
urgent the most catholic and the responsibility is
the most awful. 80,
What more need be said to excite your compass
sion and stimulate your zeal!
Can you picture to yourself the poor stricken
fellows for whom We plead, carried from the fatal
battlefield on stretchers SO IN perhaps to meet
their God ), their wounds tenderly dressed their
sickened bodies carefully nursed, their minds con-
soed, their spirits soothed, their parting word or
gift to distant loved ones faithfully treasured their
eyes closed and the ir soul commended to merci~
full Judge, aud refuse or neglect to take part or
lot in this matterl &. Z 81. a.....
If not, then up and be- doing The time is short
it is true, but long enough for your work to heal
many a horrid cash, cool many parched lip and
wipe many tear away. .4 jel6

FoarRBss MONROE, Dec. 20.

Rebel papers contain the following,
dated at Lynchburg, Va, Dec. Gath
Passengers by the Western train to-
night report a raid on the Virginia and
Tennessee railroad at Bristol, Tenn. The
enemy are supposed to be a portion of
Burbridge's command from Bean Sta
ton. They advanced rapidly and en-
tered the town at s A. NJ. They destroyed
q considerable amount of Government
stores, an engine and train on the East
Tennessee and Virginia railroad, and an
eastern bound train on the Eastern Ten
nessee road between Bristol and Abing-
ton. No positive intelligence of the
number Of the enemy has been received,
but they are supposed TO have been FIVE
or six thousand strong. A portion of
the force is said yet to occupy the town.
A body of the enemy returning towards
Beans Station, encountered our forces at
Zollicofer, station on the East Tonnes
see railroad, nine miles west of Bristol,
where q fight WAS said to be progressing

authentic information has been re-

A telegraph operator (uamed Baker,

BY Gen. Grant He stated that the in
telligence of the fall of Savannah and
the capture of the entire force, $4,000 in
number, commanded by Gen Hardee,

fore he made his escape.
There was report prevailing at the
same time that Fort Fisher command

also fallen, through combined attack
by Gen. Butler and Admiral Porter's

The spirits Of the citizens of Richmond
he describes as in a very depressed state,
and it was with difficulty that the au-

whatever over the press and citizens
such were the frantic manifestations of

Gen Griffin is passenger in the

NBW IOBhI DEC, n,
The steamer Corsica, from Havana.
via Nassau, arrived here this morning.
Nassau papers contain ridiculous ac-
counts of sherman's army being dread
fully cut up, and there being fifty thou
sand troops in Savannah TO meet him,
and the probability of his escape was
very doubtful.
VIM Rawson, the new Governor Of the
Bahama Islands, had arrived at Nassau.
Rev. DR.. Nicholson, Of the Episcopal
Church of the United States, had left
for Savannah. He is on his way TO
Mexico on a religious mission.
A Gen. Lee is reported by the Nassau
Guardian to have left Nassau on the 10Th
inst. in the steamer Darien, for Ber-
muda.
