THB SOLDnRs.-The contributions to the
great festival 70 commence on the twenty
hrss Of June, have 50 far beeo prompt and
liberal aud everything is working admirA.
bly,. The work is in the hands of men
who never allow anything to fail and the
object being Ons that no patriot will hest
tate to assist In forwarding, the festival iS
certain to be all that is expected. Con-
tribuuonS Of money, goods, useful and
fancy articles, labor, fruit, flowers, Curl
osities, national relics, are earnestly 90.
hsited from the people of this and neigh.
boring communities. The cooperation Of
the ladies, without whom nothing Of this
character vas ever . perfect success, is
especially invoked.
1t is believed by some that there are
large SOms OF mOuey in the hands OF the
various humane commissions organized
for the benefit of our sick and wounded
soldiers. Such is not the case. Twill
surprise many people to learn that the re-
eeiPts of the Sanitary Commission during
this year of Pairs are little, if any. in ex.
cess Of its former income; the reason be-
ing thGt Ordinary contributions have been
Withheld from a notion that the revenue
yislded.by the Fairs made other gifts su-
perAuouS. There used to be large doua-
tiOns of such articles as are most needed
forths charitable work Of the Commission
of fruit and medical stores, delieacies,
wines, lint, bsudages, and the like Now
there. are comparatively few, aud the Com
mission is compelled to purchase great
Quantities of sneh As formerly came in as
gifts.. The ofaeers, therefore, have found
ample employment for all the funds con-
tributed BY the Pairs, and the treasury Of
the Commission is still constantly 10 need
Of replsnishipg. At this moment, especi-
ally, when the calls for help are louder
than ever, when every day brings battle,
and when the saFsriog necessities of the
Army are greater than the most extensive
aud complete charity can possibly relieve,
there ought to be no cessation in giving,
and no dimiuutiou in receipts from what
ever source.

the force in Kentucky is under the imme-
diate command Of Morgan, Colonel Aston,

citizens of m 'ney and other valuables.-
The farms of Union men were stripped Of

thought Morgan is concentrating, with the
intention of attacking Lexington.
The position Of affairs in the central part
OF the State day is not known, as COM
munication lie broken with Lexington. -.a.
1t is thought it Is the intention Of the reb.
els to destroy all the railroads possible and
make their exit through central Kentucky
and middle Tennessee.
The Kentucky Central railroad being re.
paired, trains will run to CynthianG to-
morrow.
Gen. Hobson left Covington day to

Louisville, and also by the Sandy aud

meeting with all the great Western and

Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, compares in
importance and national value, with the
magnificent scheme, Of which the West
