None bus the Invalid soldier, fsr
fson home. from frisads, and the COM
forts with which modern civilization
has surrounded tbs sick bed, can appse-
ciate blessings which private bsnevolsncs
spreads abroad in this era Of war, and
wounds, and disease. Il would be i'm
possible for public fsnctionariss 70 sup
ply the hospitals with sll the comforts
which an invalid demands The suffer
ing which ensued from the frst cam
paign, in which sll wers compelled 70
rely upon government aid alone, sent q
thrill Of horror everywhere; the sensi-
bilities of the people were touched; the
benevolence Of every lover of his or her
country was aroused; and tie result
was, that aid societies, under various
names, sprang into existence, as if By
magic, in city, town, village and school
district; aud a comparison of the hos
pilsl of 1861 and Of 1864 is the best
answer to the question, What has been
accomplished ?"
Prominent among these associations,
in this mission of mercy, is the Ladies'
Soldiers Aid Society, bran ches Of which
srs TO be found in every section of the
loyal States; and among the organize
tons bearing this name, which have agen-
cies in this city, is that of the great me-
tropolis Of the West-St. Louis. 1t is
in charge of two self sacrificing ladies,
who, without seeking notOriety, or dis
play, have been real benefsctors to
thousands of invalids, representing ev-
cry loyal State in the Union.
The office is located at Hospital No.
10, but the inmates of two or three other
institutions are supplied with necessaries,
and delicscies, by its managers. The
experimenting Surgeons daily forward
TO the Secretary list of the articles of
food, needed in the wards, and it is i'm
mediatsly prspsred-nOt by cooks hired
at great cost-but by the lady managers
themselves. The bill of fare includes
almost every dish which can, in snywise,
nourish the invalid and presents con-
trast with the coarse government rations,
which is truly gratifying and refreshing.
The advantages of distributing nOur-
ishmeEt under the direction Of the Sur
geOn in charge, must be apparent to all.
An ipjudici0us diet is a poor assistant
TO medicine and is but right that those
who prescribe the latter, should also
control the former.
1t is TO be hoped that the patriotic
people Of Missouri will sustain the en-
terprise of these ladies if they do, the
blessings of thousands Of patriots will
reward their benevolence.

Freuch Governmental View OF the
Rebels.

French Govern en- tai View or the
Rebels.
The Paris Moniieur is the official or
gan of the French government, aud has
been since its commencement, during the
frst revolution: Whenever there is s
change of government, or Of ministers,
the Moniteur changes. 1t is not strictly
speaking, a newspaper, although it con-
tains some matters Of news; Il is rather
an official Bulletin, into whose columns
intelligence ia admitted as . secondary
consideration but only admitted after
having passed through the hands Of the
censor, that it may be sifted Of every
thing distssteful 20 the government.
Every line of correspondence is made
to harmonic with the views of the En-
peror, or King, or Ministry, as either may
hold the reins of power; and the state
ments Of letter writers are but reflections
Of the conclusions reached by the gov
eminent.
It is this fact which gives the Ameri-
can people an interest in the Moniteur,
and IFS views; and we therefore copy
the following from late letter of its n.
Y. correspondent;
Encouragement, IN the meantime, is
making progress in the South. There
is no longer the same ardOr to combat,
nor the same determination to conquer.
The army which is commanded BY Gen.
Lee, the best of all really begins to
see the effect of the trials and privalions
which It has been undergoing for two
wears. The Generalization with which
II is infected dates from the battle at
Gettysburg; it would require 3 very
signal success 20 check i, and Gen. Lee,
however brave and aba be may be, can
hardly expect = victory in The circum-
stancus in which be is actually placed.
If the Emperor did not coincide with
these views, be would never have per-
mittsd their pronunciation through the
Moniieur: therefore, if there be any in
the loyal states so nervous as to dread,
or any among the rebels SO sanguine as to
expect French Intervention in behalf Of
the South, they can At once dismiss alike
their fears aud their hopes.

The London Times now admits that
there is probability of the suppress
sion Of the rebellion; and in its bitter
ness declares that such an event is to be
dreaded, as the United States will, in
future, be a standing menace to Eng
land, and the rest of the world. 1t
would now almost see Europe involve it,
