lB7The following communication came
to us through the post office, unaccompa-
med by the name of the writer. We pub
fish it, contrary to our rule, because charity
is subject we are all interested in, and
we are willing to help along nhy project
for its aid.
ELLSWORTH, Jan. 25, 1864.
The ladies of this place have taken into
consideration the poor of the town, and
think ii a special duty to recommend their
case to the community and to the town au-
thoritcs; and through the medium of your
paper would have the case fully understood
before town meeting. We will first state
a few reasons for the steps proposed, and
then state the proposition.
For all time, and especially of late years,
as our town increases in population, and
consequently in eases of poverty, benevo-
lent ladies have been searching out and re-
licying the more prominent cases; but
within few weeks scenes of such unpar-
allcled restitution have been brought to
light, we feel that Il thorough search and
prompt action are necessary; and there
fore propose, that at your next town meet
ing, the appropriation for the poor be plae-
ed in the hands of the sclcctmcn, and an
agent be chosen, Il 3coBtaa, with suitable
compensation-that she may be enabled to
devote her whole time and thoughts, if
need be- to the work, to cooperate with
them; whose duty it shall be to visit every
house either to solicit or give aid. repre-
scnting from time to time, cases that need
aid from the town funds.
II the ladies of the place could know,
that they were helping to defray the ex-
penses Of the town, as we'll rs to assist the
poor, they would search their houses from
the attic to the cellar, to find means to sup
ply their necessities.
Gossip is not the only catable topic in
these days. If ii is a time to try mems
souls, it is Il time to try women's hcarts,as
well, and while all our hearts are open to
the suffering soldier, let us take in our own
suffering poor.
The above plan has been adopted sue
cessfully i'll many of eur large cities and
why not here !! Il will enable plewill-
ingly and chccrfu!ly, to give of their COM
pctencr, to aid in lesscning the necessary
and increasing taxes of the town.
In many cases, sympathy and advice is
all they need, often only help enough to
enable them to help themselves; much
may therefore be done in this way to pre-
vent paupcrism, and very much to prevent
misery: for to a sensitive mind, starvation
is often preferable to pauperism. There
are many wants that never reach the eye
or ear of man; told only, and not always
in words. to sympathizing WOMAN: and
known fully, only to Him, who, through
Christ, has told us. significantly, ''Ie have
the poor always with YOU

FROM TIE DAiLIES
NEW York. OIL

NEW L oRh. S-4bIE
The Times contains a translation of a
letter from Frenchman, formerly in the
rebel army, dated Richmond, Jan. 11th, to
a friend IN this city.
lie reports the arrival of another agent
from the French Emperor, named MartiS-
nv, via Nassau, and his mysterious confer
ences with jeff Davis. He says that Da-
Wis has promised to recognize the Empire
in Mexico, and promised to France all the
advantages of the Southern Conicdcracy,if
Napoleon will recognize and support the
Southern cause. All our principal men he
saws, think, therefore, that war between the
United States and France is near at hand.
The writer has no doubt that the plan of
making Gent Lee Dictator,will be adopted
as the emily means to ceuntcract the strength
of the Nerth. Lee has expressed his will
Sngness to accept it.
Lee and Davis arc on bad terms and TIE
latter will have to retire. Davis is very
unpopular in consequence of keeping Bragg
so long in command. He has even thot'
since Brase's dismissal, of giving him
Bragg the command of the army in Va,
and sending Lee to Dalton, but had to
abandon his plan on account of the great
influence brought Ia bear against him.
Johnston, who took command of Bragg's
army, thought of retrcating with his de-
snoralized force to Atlanta, but was kept
at Dalton by orders from Richmond that
he might take advantage of the probable
weakeRins of the Northern army by fur
loughs and the expiration of terms of ser
vice.
jeff Davis plan is to keep the armies Oh
the offensive, bat Gen. Lee gave his opn-
s2n that With the miserable condition of the
army in regard to clothing and provisions,
1t was impossible to do so.
Gen Early's expedition was a miserable
failurc-morc than 1000 veterans returning
..kers da combat" having their hands and
feet frozen.
The news from Charleston, the writer
saws, is discouraging. Beauregard has ex-
pressed the opinion that he would not hold
Charleston much longer. as Gen. Gilmore's
guns were in q position to reduce it to
ashes in few hours. 500 men of the n.
c. regiments doing duty there, intended to
de scrt, but We're prevented by one of the
number giving information. Twenty of
the ringleaders were shot on the 4th of
Jan. and the rest divided among other regi-
1nents. The 18th Va, We're ordered to
Ala but they refused to 90, and We're dis
banded and used i'll filing up other regi-
ments, which was the only plan to avert
mutiny.
Bread riots occur almost daily in the
South, and the people are getting Disguised
with the war.
John Morgan has been given the COM
mand of Magruder's army.
The writer concludes by saving that the
