THE LADIES AID AssocIATIoN-I
desire to acknowledge through your
columns the receipt of Sl23,34, con-
tributed by Pennsylvania residents of
Denver City, Colorado Territory,
thrc ugh the Intervention OF Sarah c.
Smith, lately of this place. 1t came
most opportunely in aid of the work
of the association, whose mission is to
minister to the comfort of our brave
Union soldiers Our resources were
about exhausted, and we were 10th to
appeal to our immediate citizens in
view of past liberaIity to Us, although
we doubt not their generosity and
patriotism were tar from being ex-
hausted. We tende'0 to our far off
friends our grateful thanks for their
generous gift, and will so dispose their
muniticence as to effect their object in
giving and ours in appropriating, the
promotion of the comfort Of those who
are nobly battling for the restoration
of the Union 4 meeting of the la
dies will be held at the residence of IL.
J. Walters, on Thursday (to-morrOw)
afternoon, at O'Clock 1t is hoped
all will attend. 1t is contemplated to
forward some relief to our suffering
soldiers at Libby Prison.

The Tonnage Tax.

An amusing scene took place in the
Senate on Thursday. tits well known
that Senator Hopkins has labored hard
the past two sessions Of the Legisla-
ture to have the law relative to the
release of certain tonnage duties re-
pealed, and in order to test the SINGER
ity of Mr. Hopkins on this subject,
Mr.. Graham, the able Senator from
Allegheny, who is also in favor of the
repeal, offered the following resolution,
viz:
Resolved That the Speaker be empowered
to appoint a committee. whose duty it shall
be to bring in bill for the repeal of the act
known as ' An act for the Communication of
tonnage dnties," approved the Tth daY of
March, 1861, said committee to consist of
three Senator'S, whose duty 1t shall he to re
pert the same at the earliest possible day.
On the question, will the Senate pro-
ceed to second reading of the same?
the yeas and rays were as follows:
YEAS -Messrs. Champneys. Dunlap, Ora
ham, Hoge, Householder, johnson, M'Cand
less. Turrell, Worthington and Penny, Speak
er-l0.
NAYs-Messrs. Beardslee, Bucher Clymcr.
Connell, Flemming, Glatz, Hopkins, Kinsey,
Lamberton, Latta. M'Sherry, Montgomery,
Smith and Stein-l4.
The vote looks rather queer in print
for Hopkins, who has been such an ar
dent advocate of that measure, when
majority of his fellow members were
opposed to it. We supposed that he
would have reioiced to vote for his
darling measure at any time, but wise
men will change their opinions some
times.-Harrisdurg Telegraph.
Bucher, the member from this dis
trict, is also against it--in short, it
seems to have become part of tie
democratic platform.

VOLUNTEERS WANTED.

SECOND ARMY CoRPs.-Authority
having been given Major Gen. Han
cock to recruit the I'd Corps to fifty
thousand men for such special service,
under his command, as may be desig-
mated by the War Department, he ap-
peals to the citizens of Pennsylvania
to aid in filling up the regiments and
batteries of his command which owe
their origin to the State. They are as
follows: 81st, 140th, 10th, (battal-
ion) 148th, SD, 145th, list, I'D. 69th,
and 106th Regiments of Infantry, and
Batteries F and G, 1st Penna. Artil-
lery, and c and F, Independent Penna
Artillery. All volunteers enlisted for
this organization will receive the fol-
lowing bounties paid by Government
until the first of March, viz, to veter-
ans S402; to others, 1902. Any one
desiring to enlist in either of these Or
ganizations may do so in any part of
the State by making application to the
District Provost Marshal, or any re-
cruiting officer from the I'd Corps, no
matter to which regiment said officers
may belong.
The General in his circular saws:
Gas this is a matter of interest to all
citizens Of this State-its quota being still
nearly 10000 deficient, | earnestly call
upon you all to assist by exerting the in,
huence in your power in this important
matter To adequately reinforce our armies
in the field is to insure that the war will
not reach your homes, and will be the means
of bringing it to speedy and happy con,
clusion, and of saving the lives of manv of
our brave soldiers who would otherwise be
lost by the prolongation of the war and in
iadecisive battles.
at is only necessary to destroy the rebel
armies now in the field to insure speedy
and permanent peace; let us all act with
that fact in view; let it not be said that
Pennsylvania which has already given so
many of her citizens to this righteous
cause, shall now, at the eleventh hour. be
behind her sister States in furnishing her
quota of the men deemed necessary to end
the rebellion. Some States have filled
their quotas; others will do so; little ex.
ertiop on our part will soon Eli all the
deciDated regiments of the State and obvi.
