lsc(enr military movements. In that re-
spese they are Of importance to al Of us.
Il y known that rebel incendiaries are ct
III a. our principal ports for the express
puzpcse Of destroying our vessels. Il
seems to us that this fact should induce our
autAorities TO put trustworthy guards
wherever these boats are exposed to dan
gsr. and make sure that they are not de-
stroyed. It is just - necessary to preserve
stsemboats ~ to preserve the most essen

a.The expenditures of the. United
States Sanitary Commission for the month
q May last were t262. ses q, and for June
they were 3252, l74,64. For the two months
something moro than i've hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars. These fg-
ures ahow that the total expense for the
campaign win be very large, and that,
Notwithstanding the liberal amounts real
issd BY tho great Sanitary Fairs, there il
still demand for effort and for the contin-
uauoe Of liberal contributions for the relief
Of TIE sick and the wounded. The least
we It homo can do, is to manifest our ap-
probation Of the sacrifices our soldiers are
making of life and health for the safety Of
the nation, ID TO provide i'll necessaries 70,
their comfort in profusion. They must no,
lack them at any time or any point where
It ID possible to supply them. II we car
not do % little - this, what right have We
70 those blessings which their sacrifices
are % freely offered to secure9 When We
have done all We can We have done nc
more Gan our simplest duty.
