The Proposed Soldiers, Home.

1t will be borne in mind by the ladies and
gentlemen selected as Directors of the Home
for sick and wounded soldiers, in this city, that
they have a meeting appointed for this
"wednesday afternoon, at O'Clock, at the
Senate Chamber, for organization.
This is very important and philanthropic
movement, and should not for single mo-
ment or for any consideration be allowed to
slumber. 1t is one in which persons of all
shades of religious belief and of political an
tecedents may consistently work together.
Large numbers of sick and wounded soldiers,
arriving in this city in too feeble condition
to go forward to their friends and homes with
out rest and refreshment, call loudly upon the
humane spirit of our people TO provide re-
treat where they may find that care and SYM
pathy, free of expense or anxiety to them,
which perform so important an Office in keep
Ing up the spirits of our brave boys and thus
in restoring them to condition Of soundness
and strength.
Heretofore all such accommodations have
had to be sought at our hotels, and though all
has been done that well could be under such
circumstances, it is nothing against the hotels
to say that they are not. and cannot be, the
mos I desirable or comfortable places for the
sick head the wounded body and the fainting
heart. Quiet, calmness, careful nursing and
the most assiduous attentions-such as cannot
be found in the crowded hotel-are what is
needed, and these can be best secured by hay
ing house specially fitted up for this specific
purpose, with a suitable matron and the other
helps and agencies necessary to such an es-
Enlistment.
And shall we have such an institution? We
will not doubt it for a moment. Our citizens
will be glad of an opportunity to make con
tribution to meet all the needful expenses, and
it will, we hope and trust, be well established
in our midst, and become one of the noblest
and proudest monuments of Portland philap-
thropy and patriotism. What precise plan
may be adopted by the Directors to make the
enterprise a success We have no means of
knowing, but we have implicit confidence in
the good judgment and executive ability of
the large board Of Directors, and feel quite
sure they will project a plan worthy of the
object before them, and worthy of the city.
