piled with patterns and instructions how to
make the articles.
Sewing machines were busy and bands

terms and instructions can be accommodate
ed by calling at headquarters. The serv-
ices of Mrs. II. E. Taylor have been secured
to keep the rooms open from a. IN. to
p. m. and longer if necessary.
The society is rapidly increasing in num-
bers and it is hoped the Red Cross badges
will arrive soon. The members will APP
preciate the assistance of all ladies who
desire to help in sewing on articles that
will in all probability soon be needed, as
the men are liable to be ordered off at any
time.

patch to the War Department, written so late

g Casey's Division gave way unaccountably
and discreditably," is indiscriminate and
unjust. A green division of less than 1000
men could not fairly be expected to arrest
and repel a determined advance of the entire
rebel army, whereof two choice divisions,
numbering $4,000 men, were hurled directly
upon them. That some Of our men behaved
badly is true; but the responsibility of their
failure rests on the Generals by whom they
were badly handled. They were sent up by
brigades to confront rebel divisions and thus
beaten in detail, and when at last the time
came for fighting with the advantage of num-
