By the foregoing report it will be seen
that the Association has paid out the sum
Of So, l46 90, and that it has in the treasury
$3.50 20. But il must be borne in mind
that it owes some thousand dollars, and has
thirty or forty applications FOR limbs, for
which measures have been already taken,
and the Association is constantly receiving
applications for more. twill take al least
$1,000 more to supply all the disabled
soldiers Of Tennessee with artificial limbs.
To meet this demand is a sacred and i'm
perstive duty. 1t is one too, which ought
to be discharged without delay-nOt only
because Of the comfort which will be
thereby afforded 10 those gallant men who
'jeoparded their lives unto the death in the
high places Of the feld,"-and who came
near losing their lives when they lost
their limbs in the bloody contest-bat also
because by supplying them with artificial
arms and legs they viii be made service
able % the community, and instead of be
ing dependent upon Others for their sup
port, viii be able 70 labor Cor the support
Of Others who are dependent upon them.
Every feeling OF Humanity and Justice
pleads Cor the relief-the prompt and gen
erous relief Of these noble men. The Asso-
citation has done all that il can do in the
way Of tableunK, soirees, and the like, TO
raise money Cor this object, aud il now ar-
pesls 10 those who have the means to come
forward 10 lie aid Blasted as may be our
fortunes, ont Of the wreck Def as contribute
something lor this God-like charity. What
satisfaction il will afford one 10 be able 70
say in the evening Of life, when the ear
heard me, then Il blessed me, when the
eye saw me, il gave witness 70 me because

none 10 help him; the blessing of
him that was ready 70 perish came upan
