CARo, Dec. Is, 1865.
In your Issue Of tho 10th inst. we notice
an article in regard to the suffering Of the ref
ugces md others at this place.
What you state Is true, that there aEa many
who ure in destitute condition, and SO far
as We can ascertain, your statement Is true,
TINT there is no provision made for their re-
lief; but VIC think the remarks III regard to
the Christian Commission are ulktnd, and
must have been made without O knowledge
Of the facts, In rcgn1d 10 what the Commits
sion is actually doing, for such cases Of desti-
tuition, ns well as ignorance IN regard to the
specific object Of the q. 8. c. G. The Chris
tian Commission was never intended to reach
tho class OF persons alludel to In your lrticle.
We ndmit that "it would be truly Christian
charity to extend them aid," aud We should
rejoice 10 see some society organized for TINT
purpose.
The agent now at Cairo has never had any
funds IN bis hands which be could use fos that
purpose,-but he has, in many cases, within
few weeks, spent half day IN securing them
transportation, furnishing them rations, &c.
Only q few days since, we were engaged all

to do. :
And today. when our attention was called
to the nrticle In your paper, We hBd spent al
the day for poor old man who could scarce
iy walk. and who had wife and four chill
drcn, all OF them nearly starved. Just at
sunset We had 1lem on boord the boat, end

I've years past, it appears tho Pennsylvania

nnd now its earnings arc largely in excess Of
thoss Of any other. 4 is estimated that the
