"a Sick Soldier" complains through the Con.
rsderate Of Wednesday, that 1.-THE rich members Ct
tho Episcopal Church in this City, which We are
using as a temporary hospital, has taken away the
cushions out Of the pews, thus compelling the sick
AnA exhausted soldiers, who have become disabled
In defence Of their property to lay their sick and
weary bodice on the hard cold plAnks Of the pcws.'
The writer adds that he is happy to state that two
or three members Of the congregation have shown
more gratitude and humanity, and have left the
cushions in their pews." We take 1t for granted
that those who have removed their cushions iutend
TO substitute something in their place, which will
be as useful and comfortable as the cushions
would have been. SO far as the value OF the cush.
ions is concerned, however, that amounts to moth.
lug, aud should not be thought Of for a moment. -
They are not too fine or too good to rest the
wearied bodies Of the sick and wounded and IL al
lowed TO remain they would have made excellent
mattresses. "a Sick Soldier says he understand.
:" that eyTy pew was cushioned in that Church
This Is q mistake. Some Of them we're not cush
iODed. IL is not necessary that any feeling should
arise from what " A Sick Soldier A" complains Of As
We do not believe that any member Of tbs congrega
ton would think for a moment OF withholding de-
lberGtely from the sick aud wounded any comfort
that might be asked or expected. The act com
planned Of is TO be attributed doubtless TO want o.
reflection.

We concur with our neighbor ol the Progrs'' in
the following. The people of Raleigh are acting n
noJlc part in providing for the sick and wounded,
and in feeding the hungry soldiersi and we trust
they will not become weary in well doing" Let
1t be remembered that every hungry and afflicted
soldier whom we see, once had homo and family
to love and care for him, and that he has been de-
prved for tiMe Of this great blessing by the ineT
ts7ble call ofouty in the common cause.
"FEED rus SoLDIRgs. s.-While the theatre Of war
is so near US there must necessarily be good many
office and soldiers in and ab ut Raleigh, some pas
sing through and others duty at this post, and
il the citizens would prevent raids their premises
and depredations on their property, let them open
their lRrders and their houses and feed them. Men
will not starve IL they help it, and those whose
business, age or other conditions has saved them
from the hardships, dangers and sutferngs Of the
field, ought to be willing to divide what they have
IN way OF subsistence with these battle Scared vet
erans. Besides the sick and wounded there are
many well soldiers, paroled prisoners and Others
who need food which the COnmissary cannot or
does not supply and those families who have the
means should take them TO their houses and feed
them We believe that the people generally
dong their duty we know that the ladies are doing
much to alleviate the sutlerings Of the sick and
wounded at the hospitals; but as there may be
some that as yet have done nothing, we appeal to
them to share such they have with any hungry

Mob Niolencr.

From what We have written in another article,
il will be seen how distinctly We condemn any
purpose or intention by any persOns to injuTe,
damage, threaten or incOmmOde aIY citizen, By
acts Of mob violence. We understand that some OF
the citizens OF Rlleigh are concerned about their
persons and property, because OF apprehensions
that such purpose exists among portions Of the
soldiers. We do not believe there is any such in
tention. No good and brave soldier will engage in
any lAwless enterprise; on the contrary, he owes
It TO the laws Of the land, and his own honor, to
irown upon any combination, for an illa al pur
pose, whatever may be his feelings towards, or
opinions Of the person against whom they are lev
eled. II such apprehensGns are reasonably yenler.
tAined It Is the duty Of the city authorities to take
steps to protect the threatened persons, and the
measures should correspond with the extent OF the
threats, and the probability of their being put in
execution. Every good citizen will readily bear
his part in defending his fellow citizen from ylo
lence, and his property from depreciation, without
regard to his prvjudices convictions or animosites
And We are sure that either on the application Of
the Mayor, in Anticipation Of any violent conduct
or on the application OF an individual, who may
feel himself or property, or family To be in danger
Of nOestatiOn, that tho military authorities will
establish guard TO see order and peace preserved
and quiet the apprehension Of the citlzens-hnd
this course We would recommend TO the city au
thorties IN the interest Of the public, well as
individual citizens
But while we look with an eye Of extreme re
gard 10 these transcendant interests and sink In
divdual rights to the level Of sdeh u demand as
necessity iday make upon them, we conline our
selves strictly to governmental action under the
authority Of law, and we wholly repudiate con-
demn and reprObate the assumption Of authority,
by mObs or combinations Of persons A lawleSs
aggression upon individual persons, or their prop
erty, Is u crime against society which every man
should resist, not only for himself but Tor his
neghbor and this, whether he and his neighbor
agree or not and Notwithstanding he may deem
his neghbor to bo very improper person.
Nothing, we repeat will justify mob violence
To engage in such is cowardly and criminal. We
trust that our brave soldiers strictly regarding
their own honor, will scrupulously abstain them
selves, and AS scrupulonsly check in others any
disposition to acts Of revenge, or indignation, but
that they will show their fidelity to their govern.

more prompt in dschArging his duties than Col

that the law mad been botter, enforced In North
