To GEO. R. DAVIS ESQ, slsVA
State agent, Ne. San. Com:
Your line " Or. Marsh enclosing one from
Tt. w. ii. Larrabee, prisoner OF war, was re-
ceived just little too late TO effect it's object,
the General commanding, having only Few
days previous, received an order that nothing
OF any nature should be sent across the lines,
till by direction from Washington. This or
der though not aimed at US, effectually cuts
of for Lhe present the human work in which
we were successfully engaged. DR.. Marsh
feels so sure, however, that 1t will in one way
or another be soon revoked thai he wished me
to write you, begging you will not sacken
your efforts 10 raise supplies as you propose.
Should the opportunity again offer, as we feel
sure it will, il would be q pity to have it pass
by while we are waiting for supplies. The po-
tatoes and apples to which you refer are sadly
needed here if they Cannot be sent to The
prisoners, which We hope they may. Both
the Government -Committee are, in the
matter of vegetables, doing very little in this
Department;--the more to be regretted as ac-
tive operations have commenced and hundreds
are already wounded. Wounds in this climate
prove serious without more or less OF a vege-
table diet This fact became so alarlningly
apparent last year that we were eventually
seems TO have been forgotten. Prisoners es-
capped or exchanged are frequently coming in,
and we do not need to be- told what they
need. Could the ladies of Maine see the
best clothed among them, and then be told
that there sfe 10000 or 10000 in the same
state of destitution, they would feel called
upon to double their already far-famed dill
gence, And here may be allowed to add,
that 10 the contributions sent TO this Depart
ment, for the last twenty-five months, in
quality and qusntity no State exceeded Maine.
Respect tor the soldier is stamped indelibly
upon every Well-made garment. Our ladies
will never know how many lives they have
saved and how many better natures awakened
by their untiring industry. The fruits, Vege-
tables, pickles, &c, go far to recuperate ex-
hausted energies, and bring into service again
those whose places double the number of
recruits could not make go0d.-But beg
pardon, Sir. for intruding so long letter up
on you. My subject hope may be my ex-
cuse. Dr. Marsh is at the front or he would
have written yon himself The firing is very
frequent and heavy, whether the epemy's of
ours is uncertain. Sherman is "BlucherD to
us, or we TO him-perhaps.
With the assurance that Lit. Larrabee shall
be looked after the first possible moment
remain,

Mrs M. M. MARSH.
P.S. DR.. Marsh bsde me say TO you that

out OF the present movement. am sure II

entrusted with the administration OF the COM
mon Government, because he has declared
that that Government cannot endure perma-
nently half slave and half free Ia quotation
from Mr.. Lincoln's speech at Springfield In
1851, and that the public mind must rest in
the belief that slavery is in the course of ulti-
mate extinction
The Alabama ordinance declared that the
election of President Lincoln "by q sectional
party, avowedly hostile to the domestic instl
tations" of the people of the State OF Alaba-
ma, sis political wrong OF SO insulting and
menacing acharacter" as to justify that State
in at once throwing off its allegiance to the
United Government. .4
Similar pleas come from the other rebel
States, and If language has any meaning, and
the Americans who have drawn the sword
against their Government any truthfulness, 1t
IS clear to demonstration that the latter are
lighting to uphold by brute force that slavery
which they. at least, believed the majority OF
their countrymen were undermining Dy the
force of opinion and the operation OF law. +
III. T..n then, is right in stigmatizing the
contest as "brutal," so far as the originators of
it are concerned; and upon the heads of the
men who began and who continue it for so
british an object rest the guilt and infamy of
such brutality. But, ON the other hand, if
ever "holy war" was waged by any nation,
~ 70 ones Maiubdlneu Dy tn0 UnlteQ states
against this bold and blasphemous attempt to
hight against the laws of God, to turn back
the tide of civilization and Christianity, and
to perpetuate one of the fonlest relics Of saw
agery and barbarism. If 81. T." Graves light
from those ion the spot" would refer him
to the fact that the whole body OF Abolition
lists in America, those who throughout the ir
lives have given all their powers and energies
to the cause Of the oppressed colored race,
with the Apostle Of Emancipation, WILLIAM
LLOYD GARRISON, at thsir head, are unani-
nous as to the duty of straining every nerve
to put down the rebellion. Their souls re-
coiled from the thought of leaving the four
millions of slaves to the tender mercies of a
Government built upon slavery as Its corner
stone; and, like Rev. w. H. CHANNING. they
look upon the war, into which they have been
forced to avert such disaster as a "holy war;"
and, with him, deyoutly do they believe that,
sin the name OF God. of Christ, and Of hu-
manity,n freedom will conquer. Most fer
vently do respond. Amen. -a9a5
