dency TO head party which is for peace-a

That few men who have got his ear may get

Of their constituents. This is paying too dear

The Richmond Sentinel Official organ OF
JEFF Davisl of The 18Th. contains an appeal
TO she People Of the Confederate States. y
from the Directors of the young Mems Chris
ton Association Of Richmond, in which the
tollowing sentence appears:
''The supplies Of provisi ons in this city at
this time are so reduced, AMI ibe difficulty oI
obtaining others by ordinary means so numer
ous and great, that the funds contributed for
the relief Of the poor can accomplish but little
iu procuring the recessaries of life"
''In a written report from the Clothing
Bureau. it appears that there are more than
three thousands families in this city, who are
seeking employment from the Government in
vain, and that those who obtain work are not
fully employed. The wages received for their
work will not enable these poor women to
procure a sufIiciency OF the painest food for
themselves and children. Without assistance
then, from the city and country generally
many instances OF actual starvation must
have occurred. Our City CouLCil has made
most liberal appropriations for the purchase
of supplies, both for grsIuitous distribution
and for sale at cost but the agents employed
for the purpose have not been able 10 procure
the quantity Of provisions required.
