AN APPEAL FOR AID FOR THE MOTHERS. WIDOWS
AND DAUGHTERS OF DECEASED CoNFEDERATE Sol
DHRs-The undersigned, Committee of Ladies,
propose to establish in the City Of Charleston, 8.
G., "Home' for the mothers, widows and daugh-
tiers of deceased Confederate soldiers, who may be
in destitution or want.
The plan will be, at first, to furnish rooms to the
destitute, at rent merely nominal, and ultimate
w. If possible to enable the inmates to deray the
expenses Of their rent, and aid in the support OF
the institution, by giving portion OF their time
to such labor or employment as shall be respective
ly suited to them, and as shall be provided by the
Association. At the outset, the Home" will be
measurably dependant upon the contributions OF
the public; it is hoped, however, that in process OF
time, it may be made self-sustaining.
The large number of ladies' VINO have been re-
duced to extremity by the exactions and unsuc-
cessful issue Of the late war; render such az insti-
tuition not only meritorious charity, but almost
an absolute necessity. If our affairs were now
prosperous or promising, there would not be SO
much occasion for it; but the deep depression
which seems to have settled down upon our
fortunes, makes our future still more gloomy,
from its uncertainty. Si-s.
There can be no class of persons more worthy
than those whom this institution is designed to
beneat-helpless women, who have seen better
days and who have lost all their means of support,
upon which they formerly relied.
There cannot be better opportunity for the
benevolent, upon whom the blessing Of wealth or
competency has smiled, to spare something from
their abundance to assist their suffering fellow
creatures, whose only crime is that they are the
mothers, widows and daughters of men who have
given their lives for cause which they believed

TEE DISTRIBUTION OF CORN To THE DETIIrUTE
OF ST. PETERS PARIsH.-The Savannah News and
Herald says: "By the Act of Congress Of March
90 1857 providing for the distribution OF certain
supplies to the poor of the South, the distribution
to cease ON the 31th of September last, Captain
H. C. BRANDT, of the Freedmen's Bureau, was for
some time engaged in the work of dividing the al
lotment assessed to him among the destitute in
st. Peters Parish, s. G. He completed his distri
button at the time specified, and has squared up
his accounts. BE has issued rations to 100 per-
sons, amounting in the aggregate to 5000 lbs.
corn and 1867 lbs. bacon. A large proportion Of
this was given to the widows and orphans Of de-
ceased soldiers.
'eWhile his headquarters were at Ric, Hope,
across the river, he gave out 1910 lbs. pork and
212O lbs. corn meal to twenty-six men, one hum
dred and six women and twenty-three children,
including many orphans. 'f-% : ~
With no fondness for the Freedmen's Bureau, as
our readers will testify, and with the knowledge
Of considerable rascahty done in it BY political
appointees, under the guise Of philanthropy, We
cannot refrain from comphmenting Captain B.
on the reputation for integrity in the discharge
Of his duties among planters and sensible color
ed people.
For instance, the strict enforcement of the order
regarding squatters is in gratifying contrast to the
the behaviour Of soma Freedmen's Bureau men
and is most creditable. .DssI

MIssIssIppI.-The papers think
the Convention has been defeated
by tho refusal Of the whites to vote.
In many places, too, a comparative
ly small negro vote was cast. In
one largo county out.of 4, 279 blacks
registered only 3,703 voted although
very active efforts were made by
the Radicals to get them to the polls.
A sensible letter in the Mobile Reg
lister, from Mississippi. says those
papers in the State which opposed
the Sherman plan strongly, bu t
temperately-with argument rather
than abuse-did much more good
than tho slang whanging journals
effected. Indeed, the latter d d
nothing but harm.
Whether the Convention DO de-
feated or not, IL is said to be certain
that a new Constitution will not be
ratified. BY the time that question
comes ON many negroes viii have
changed places and the black vote
will be smaller than in the late cleo
ton. Even those papers which
would prefer the adoption Of a new
Constitution under the scheme OF
Congress, admit that the cause is
bopelessly gone. The Clarion, an
able journal published at the CAPT
