Chicago, commencing on the 30th day
of May next.
1t is necessary now to make renewed
and special efforts to replcnish the CX-
hausted treasury of the commission, or
suffer it to abandon its work of mercy.
The Northwest Branch of the u. s.
Commission have therefore decided af-
ter mature deliheration, to have another
great Fair in Chicago. The States os
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Iowa, operate through this
branch of the Commission, and are all
equally interested in this grand move
ment.
Iowa has, perhaps, cxcelled any Of hc-
sister States in the gift of her mon for
the war. The valor with which our
men have fought, has won for our young
state proud name. During the past
twelve months, Iowa has donated for
the relief of the sick and wounded on
field and in hospital, with a marked lib
orality. 49,.
We trust that this will be The last call
of the kind that II will be necessary to
make; that the rebblii0n, already stprg-
Cling in its last a~onies, will he subducd
before the amount proposed to he raised
by ihc Fair will have been exhausted.
But in the hope of sptedy triumph, we
must not forget that the calls for out
work were never more urgent, and that,
III the severe campaign now progressing
many thousands more are TO be added
