To the People Of Shasta County. 1.-The
Sanitary Commission.

Mr.. EDITOR IL wish to say a few words
to the people of this county and section of
the State, concerning the work and condition
Of the Sanitary Commission.
An impression prevails, to some extent.
that if there is to be co more fighting, there
is no more need of Sanitary work. This is
an error, so far as the present is concerned.
The war is probably over, but the hospitals
are full of men, sick and wounded, MANY of
whom cannot reach their homes the present
summer, or until cool weather comes again.
Some bave no homes to go to, and are as yet
unable to provide for themselves. These
men have incurred disease and wounds
for us-for the defense and preservation of
the life of the nation. Shall we abandon
them now? We do not wish to be importu.
nate !; we know you have already done much
but it is morally impossible for US to give up
the work so long as our valiant defenders are
still suffering for help.
A letter have Just received from Rev. DR..
Bellows, President of the y. S. Sanitary
| Commission, says: 1.-The war is, we think.
over but the care of the broken constitu-
tions, the invalids, and MANNED created bv it
we can collect; only instead of spending it on
battle fields. it will go to Soldiers Homes.
Rests and Retreats"
Let me say, for the information of all con-

mission are conducted with the most studious
regard to strict economy. The leading off
cers-those who do the thinking, and PLAN
ming and directing, and have the response
bility-have no salary, pay or remuneration
whatever from the Commission. All their
immense services are entirely gratutous.-
energies to the work, in field, hospital, or
wherever the exigcncies of the service may
require, receive very moderate pay. This
plan was adopted in order to retain the ser
vices of the most efficient persons, and none
others, and to avoid the necessity of continual
changing. 1t lis a sufficient vindicat,on OF the
management of the Commission, however, to
say, the expenses of distribution have never
vet reached FIVE per cent of the amount con.
tributed, and have generally come within
three per cent.
Hoping these explanations will be sufficient
to remove any misapprehensions that may
| have existed with reference to the work, and
that YOU may be able to continue your con-
tributions as hitherto, l am, in behalf of the
soldier,

80 LoAS.-The wonderful popularity OF
this loan is being demonstrated In such
manner as to astonish the world. The daily
subscriptions in the Atlantic States are
enumerated by tens of millions. The third
series of the loan is now in market, and 1t is
to be hoped that California will have better
opportunity of investing in this series than
was afforded in the previous ones. To be
sure millions were sent here, but were abb
sorbed at once by capitalists. The people
will now have chance to invest their titties
and hundreds.

a patriotic party certairly can't be expected
TO blush much, but it makes it very clear to
the members of that party that they must
retain within their own organization the
right to nominate candidate for the Su-

there, and the people will see to il tina. their
candidate shows a record of honesty and
capab,lity as well as radical Unionism. The

GREAT POPULAR LOAN OF THE PEOPLE.

Less than $500 900 900 of the loan authorized by
the last Congress, are now in the market.
This amount, at the rate at which it is being alb
sorbed, will all be subscribed for within four
months, when the notes will undoubtedly command
a premium, as has uniformly been the case on
closing the subscription to other Loans.
In order that citizens of every town and section
of the country may be afforded facilities for taking
the loan, the National Bank, State Banks, and
Private Bankers throughout the country have gen
orally agreed to receive subscriptions at par
Subscribers will select their own agents, in whom
they have confidence, and who only are to be re-
