An Appeal to the Patriotic and Benevo-
lent People of Maine.

The undersigned have been appointed q
Committee by the Maine Soldiers Relief AS
ISOLATION, head quarters at Washington, to So
licit from the good people Of our State, con-
tributions to be applied and expended for the
benefit OF sick and wounded soldiers Of Maine
regimeats.
A great and benefcent work is being done
for all the soldiers OF the Union army by the
Sanitary and Christian Commissions, and our
labors are in perfect harmony with theirs. We
devote our efforts, however, exclusively to the
relief Of soldiers from our own State, aud
In this way are enabled to do many works Of
mercy, which the larger associations referred
to, would find 1t impossible TO perform. Lin
iting our field of labor as we do we are able
TO render efficient and signal service to those
brave men who need our ministrations, and as
each State is maintaining a similar associa-
ton, each is of course compelled to look
homeward Tor the means wherewith 10 sup
port it aud render Its efforts vigorous and ef-
fective.
10 the name then of these brave men who
are so freely pouring ont their blood on so
many battle fields, we appeal to their friends
and kinsman at home to be mindful OF them In
their hour Of suffering and distress. Act
promptly and whatever you have to do for
them. do quickly.
All articles Appropriate for sick and wound
ed men may be sent to the Maine State
Agency, 273 Street, Washington, ID. c.
All contributions of money may be RENTED
by letter to Horatio King, Treasurer Maine
Relief Association, Washington, ID. c.
The Association has among its members
nearly all the Maine people resident either
temporarily or permanently in Washington,
and contributors may be assured that what
ever they give will be faithfully and wisely
applied for the relief of Maine soldiers.

report to Congress, makes the following estimate
Of the income and disbursements for the coming
fiscal year. aud the probable amount Of public
debt at it, expiration:
Any estimate which may be made OF the prob
able receipts and expenditures for the next fiscal
year must necessarily be liable TO still greater un
certainty. This remark applies more particular

calculated with reasonable certaiHty. II is lmpos

increased effort. and on the other il may be con

how submitted will prove far beyond the wants
