A Ladies' War Meeting ar Indianapolis.
On Wednesday evening last the ladies
Of indianapolis held large meeting in
Masonic Hall to devise means for procuring
temporary substitutes for the young clerks
who should volunteer. Mrs. Colonel Can
field Of Ohio, made the following sugges.
tiOns during her remarks
Let the ladies-snd 1 now address the
Young and unmarried ladies particularly
volunteer their services to the merchants,
shopkeepers and clerEs Of the land, pro
posing to accept and supply, ss far as is
in their power, the positions which are
now occupied by the young men, for whom
the call is made.
Let the salaries Of the clerks continue
during their absence, and their places be
retsined for them on their return; the
young ladies receive The soldiers pay
while they labor as the soldiers substitute
In this way the sacrifice will be on sill
The employer will have Of necessity the

prscticed attendants.
At the conclusion Of the address; papers
we're circulated for the signatures Of lady

A resolution was passed appointing 3

COneernias Substitutes in the 2sth Resi-



OOneerniaE Substitutes in the 29th Regi-
ment.
The desire Of the officers Of the 29th
Regiment Volunteer Militia, to maintain
their original numbers intact so fsr as
possible, is oOmmendable enough, unless
carried toe far. There is point, st which
this desire becomes tyranny. We have
heard in no other city Of disposition to
push the idea SC far as here in Cleveland,
The order Of Adjutsnt General COwen,
provides thst an acceptable substitute be
provided, and implies therefore, that Of
fcsrs are bound to receive such, when sp-
plioation is made. AesPtd5le is to be in
tsrpreted as meaning young men OF suit
able size, age, physical health, and moral
character.
Nov, when young man, knowing some
thing Of drilling, especially, when young
man who hss seen service, is offered IS
substitute, and no objection can be raised
against his not bein acceptable, accord
ing to the ordinary understanding Of thai
word, desire to keep the regiment intact
is no reason for refusing such suhStisuse
What the government wants is men, no
particular individuals.
We cannot, therefore, approve OF tn
rigid standard, set up by some Of the OF
| eoa.s thA GolL---DzeTe business neoes
sities make it imperative and s'sestial TO
members Of the regiment to remain a
home, it should be allowed.

Since I first publicly acknowledged the

The volunteer militia and the coming
draft will have taken from the State as
many as 10000 young men, within
few weeks. This withdrawal will seriOus
" sfect the interests Of labor everywhere
The agricultural interests need REINFORCE
ments, and it is but wisdom in our State
authorities to endeavor to provide some
method Of filing up the gaps. So far as
the young men from town and cities are
concerned, in many cases, their positions
can be filed by young ladies, who are by
nature and education adapted TO certain
kinds oflight employment even better than
men. Bat with sll that the patriotic un-
married young women can do, there will
still be much left undene, unless some
remedy can be provided.
There sre two sources, whence large SC
oessiOns to the lsboring population might
be drawn, if efficient means were adopted.
The first Of these is the large number Of
contrsbands and refugees, who swarm
around the military headquarters Of our
armies in the South. Our government is
feeding tens Of thousands Of these people,
who ought to be obliged to support them
selves. Why should $4,000 rstiOnS week
be dealt cut ct Chattanooga, when it is
possible to induce thousands Of the refu-
eees and contrsbands collected there to
come north, and labor until the fortunes
Of The war have definitely settled their
future condition. If the Governor Of Ohio
were to adopt some efficient plan te accom-
plish this result the agricultural interests
Of our State might be stimulated to renew
ed activity and importance In the pres
ent unsettled condition Of sffAirs in th'
South, there will be, during the comini

Another source, whence labor supple
may be drawn, will be found in the i'm

arriving, and viii continue to come into on

have been fsrm-lsbOrers. Some efcien

Respectfully,

The order for draft in some districts
Of the State has been already announced.
The feverish fiuttering Of the people is
over. The long trepidsdatiOn is st an
end. But is is as it should be. The
government is in earnest. The cause Of
the country is not to be lost, for lack Of
men. 1t is best that everything should be
subordinsted to victory. Trade, business,
education, everything that can be ss.
crifced, must yield to the gresthour Of trial
through which the nation must pass. Bet,
