Secretary Stanton on Monday trans
mitted to the Senate, in reply to a res
olutlon of inquiry as to what military
expeditions are now in progress in the
Indian territory a communication from
Gen. Grant enclosing his correspond
ence with Gen. Sherman, commanding
in the Indian department, and stating
that these dispatches give informatian
OF all hostiltics contemplated, until the
Indians by their own acts make further
operations necessary, and that the pres
ent preparations look more to prevent
ing any further massacres than to hos
tile action towards the Indians on the
plains. The dispatches detail the pro
posed operations for the protection Of
the railroads, the safety of the emf
grants, etc, and ask for reinlOrCements
and power to issue ratiOns to peaCeable
Indians of the hostile tribes as means
Of bringing the latter to terms The au-
thority sought has been given by tele-
gram from the War Department.

Appeal 10 the Women Of New Eng
land.

When we took leave Of you as fellow
workers for the soldiers in our late war,
we told you that we should not entirely
dissolve our organization; intending to
hold ourselves in readiness to aid in any
good work that might occur The time
seems now to have come. To-day we
learn anew, upon uudoubted authority,
that more han $4,000 women aud child
rem OF Crete driven from their homes by
merciess invaders, are suffering exces-
siyely for want Of food and clothes. AL
ready preparations have been made to
furnish food, it is hoped largely. No
general effort has been made, at least in
New England, to send clothing and
nakedness seems inevitable to thousands,
without prompt action in the matter.
In this emergency, we feel it our duty
to take up a work kindred to the one
for which we originally organized, and
eminently woman's work, and we
call upon our former fellow workers to
speak and we hope and believe that
memories of the sutterings of war, and
the relief that may be bestowed by such
Efforts as can easily be made, will quicken
the hearts and impel the hands of hun
dreds Of women to extend to these suf-
ferers so far away such sympathy in
substantial form as we were proud and
| glad to give to our own cOuntTymen in
their need. But now it is for oppressed,
afflicted women and children we must
labor. Not for fighting men.
We want to prepare, within the COM
ing month, five thousand garments Of
cotton or calico for women and children;
chiefly women. They should be under,
clothes Of cotton, and sacks and skirts
of calico. No thicker material is de-
sired. Old garments of the above de-
scrptiOn will be welcome. Money, too,
either in large Or small sums, is earnest
| ly asked for, to be used in the purchase
Of material, and promptly converted
into clothing. And contributions of
materials will be greatly welcomed for
the same end
The gentlemen Of School street church
have generously given US the use Of a
room at 80 IL School street, for the
month Of March. We shall open it on
March 1st for the receipt of donations
and letters in reference to the work aud
remembering that many hands make
work, and quick work too, we trust that
all contributions may be prepared and
forwarded before March 25th, at which
time we hope to have collected the five
thousand garments asked for, which
shall then be packed for immediate
transportation. We wish to give up the
Office on April /.
We trust that gratitude for the state
of peace with which we are blessed at
home will make us only the more mind
ful OF those who are in the midst of
war and, if we can do but little to re-
lieve their sutferngs, let US do that lit
tie promptly and heartily.
All communications may be addressed
to the undersigned, at 80 IL School
street, Boston.

committee Of the New England Wo-
| mems Auxiliary Association:

WASHINGTON AND WASHINGTON lRv-
ING.-There is q little aneCdOte Of Wash
ingt N Irving whose authenticity is per-
fectlv reliable, which shows the perma-
nent bias which may be given to q
child's mind. Sol bc iy asked Mr., Irv-
ing if he had ever seen General George
Washington. Eyes" said he, "twiCe.
Once was on occasion Of some review in
the city of New York. do not know
Whist [ had been taken to see the pa
rade, and was lifted in the arms Of my
Scotch nurse to see the General, and was
told that the stately gentleman horse
back was General George Washington,
for whom had been named, And |
knew, even then, it was something to
have seen General Washington. Next
day | was out walking again with ny
nurse, when she suddenly caught sight
of the General entering Il shop. Clutch
ing my hand tightly, she hurried into
the shop and caught him by the sleeve,
crying:
"Generall General! here's a BARN
that's called after We, no gle him n bless
ing 2"
Called after me, is he" said the
General in q pleased voice, and, laying
his hand on my head, and, in a most
reverential manner, God bless the little
one forever and went out Of the shop.
l never saw the General again, continued
Mr.. Irving, andsI am an old man now ;
but can sometimes, even now, feel the
gentle pressure of his hand on my head,
and know his blessing abided with me,
for have been blessed"
And the noble head bowed as if to re-
ceive another benediCtion and those who
heard the simple story grew grave and
reverentia', for they all felt that it was
much to have received the benediCtion
of Washington. And who can tell if it
be not to this incident that we owe the
rare volumes of the great mans Life"
for which we are indebted to the pen of
