have had occasions to notice the patriotic
liberality Of the citizens of Kenosha in pro
viding for the necessity, comfort and con-
venience Of those of their fellow citizens
who have volunteered to fight the battles
OF our common country, against rebels and
traitors. If we have appeared to refer to-
this matter too often it has been in no boast
ing or n-glorious spirit. 1t has been i'll
all honesty Of purpose to encourage our
volunteers with the public assurance that
they are not forgotten at any time by their
friends, at home, and encourage those who
give to continue giving, and urge them not
to weary in well doing Comparisons are
odious" they say and we seldom make thena,
but if others make them, we must not be
blamed for copying when the comparison is
so much in our favor

ga short time since, in response to the call
of the President for hundred day troops, we
enlisted at Racine, and two weeks ago we
came into camp here with sixty five men,
hoping that as city, Racine would help us
IN our attempts to fill up our Company.
There are indjriduals who have thus
labored and their efforts are kindly remem-
bered by us, but we are panied TO have
such spirit of indifference manifested by
most Of those, who by their means and in-
fluence, might have done much to fill the

Our citizans can see how their patriotic
benevolence and liberality is looked npcn ev-
en- by outsiders. They can feel assured that
their deeds will be no less appreciated by
their own boys-the ecipientts of their
bounty. Let us continue to remember ''the
boys, in those substantial tokens that give
something of zest even to camp life.

Col. forty saw the rebels were thanking us
and moved the first battalion up on the hill,
and ordered them to dismount and fight on
foot Just then, he saw the rebels were
charging, and countermanded the order,
but it was too late. The most of them had
dismounted, and their horses had gene to

on his horse They charged through the
skirmishers and came to the brink Of the

A portion of Gen. Buffers force at Ber-

operations there, has ben transferred, under

to have formed junction.
No change in the command of Virginia
has been made. Gen Butler remains in

the head of his force in the field

The Dress Reform Movement.

The Ladies of Chicago have formed an
association elected officers and taken all the
necessary steps to perfect their organization
the object of which is to carry out and put
in practice the Dress retrenchment principle
The following is the covenant which every
member of the association is required to sign.
For three years, or during the war, we
pledge ourselves to each other and the coun-
try to purchase no imported goods, when
those of American manufacture can be sub
stituted.
We furthermore pledge ourselves to pur-
chase no articles of foreign importation con-
tanned in the list appended to the covenant;
which are
Dress goods of velvet, silks grenadines,
India Grape and imported orgaudies, india
lace and embroideries; jeweIry, watches,
and precious stones; hair ornaments, fans,
artificial flowers and feathers; carpets, fur
niture, silks and velvets; painted china,
ormula bronze, marble ornaments and mir
rors.
The covenant has been signed by many
of the leading Ladies in the city of Chicago;
and it is thought will be sigued by ALL
The Ladies Of our city might get up such
pledge and sign it, aud thus help along the
movement for retrenchment and reform.
1t may be thought that such pledge is
quite unnecessary here, but there are few
towns of its size, where more extravaganza
in dress can be found than in Kenosha.
1t is unnecessary. Our ladies are proverbially
too good looking to need any such extrava-
gance of adornment. But above all, they
are the most patriotic women in the whole
country, and their patriotism will induce
them to any sacrifice that promises to aid
the country in its great struggle
