Address Of the Peabody subsistence association to
the people of the United States:
1nasmuch as the Peabody subsistence association
10 beginning to receive liberal donations from
abroad we deem 1t not inappropriate that we should
state to the country The nature and extent of the dis
tiess which has called into existence as well
| q generous and charitable public. New Orleans,
sinking under the weight Of a dead epidemic, has
| for weeks been surrounded by Gordon of quar-
antnes, which has efectually cut her off from all in
tercourse with adjacent and tributary country. Her
business is stifed her industries paralyzed, large
labor for daily. bread have been
thrown out of employment, and are without
the plainest necessities Of life. 70 many Of these
destitute homes have been added the horror of the
fever. Disease and want have met, the extremities
Of human missy are illustrated with grim and
CHASTITY effect with the presence of this awful
visitation. 1t will be impossible for these people to
sustain themselves. They helpless. The Pea
body subsistence association is endeavOrng to feed
| them. The Howard association is fully occupied in
nursing and caring for destitute SICK Each organi-
restitution resulting from the epidemic has spread
| far beyond the limits of the disease, and its
needs are no less urgent. The Peabody
| association has been in active operation but five
days. 1t has distributed one weeks ratons to LOO
families representing 5000 people, and calls show
diminuton. SO tar the great bulk Of supplies is
sued have been donated by our own people, The gem
erous aid extended from abroad, except to limi-
ted extent has not reached us. The requirements
are stretching beyoad many of our citizens.
Thsa Howard association has nobly
donSted $ $4,000 from its funds. At the present
rate Of distribution this will last five days. The
necessity exist yet for forty days Among those
who are daily receiving succor is found every ma
tionahty, every color, every creed. and although the
great mass of sufferers from the humber
classes, there are among them representa-
tives of almost every grade of society.
Such is the condition of this plague
stricken city. Such is the calamity which is
ting the sympathy of the country. We gratefully
acknowledge The liberal and practical charity which
has been shown the people in this and other
crisis of misfortune by friends, North, East,
and West and we say to those friends that need was
never greater than now, the cry Of distress never
more sincere
