plant, and 10 Wster, and they wait only
for Northern friends to send them the
seeds that will bear such grateful fruit.
But before they can gather in their har-
vest there will be many weeks Of suffering
destitution, which we from our abundance
may relieve, and each day there should
flow from home to camp, the offerings Of
people grateful from the depths Of their
loyal hearts, to the defenders Of their
homes, and the advocates Of their most
holy cause.
SOLDIERS HONE NASHVILLE.
The work Of special relief at Nashville
has always been Of great Importance
The Home is now admirably conducted by
Hon. Isaac Brayton Of Newburgh, OHIO,
and from his report we make some ex-
tracts:
HThe Home is working well, and we
have to turn off large numbers o, soldiers
for want Of room. SO far this month, my
one hundred beds have been filed every
night, and on an average one hundred
tired men have slept on the floor. Night
before last, our tables which seat fifty,
were filed five times from five to eight
o'clock, besides few small squads that
came after that time. There was no jar
ring or fault finding among the soldiers or
attendants, but all was good nature and
good choer. Some Of the men were from
as far as Knoxville, and had not eaten
since the morning before. Would yau not
have liked to see them estf
gave them coffee, fresh bread and but
ter fresh beef and cold sliced mess pork,
with potatoes and krout. You should have
seen the piles Of krout disappear. A lady
came in to see what the soldiers were given
to eat. As we stood conVersing in the
doorway, soldier passed out and looking
at US, said in the most hearty manner,
this is the hest Soldiers Home in the
United States" The lady was satisfied.
I have good many visitors, and they are
generally pleased. will enclose you my
report for the last quarter.
