A correspondent, in a brief note which
we publish this morning. makes a practi-
cal appeal to the humanity and patriO-
tism Of the people of Richmond in behalf
of our shOeless soldiers. This appeal is
powerfully reinforced by the snow storm
of yesterday, and the actual setting in of
winter.


1t is terrible to think that hundreds.
nay thousands of our brave troops-Our
sons and brothers and friends, who are
suffering that we may be comfortable,
are in this bitter weather without the
comforts of negroes-of paupers, or even
ofconVicts in the penitentary-ar literal
ly barefooted in the snow. l.-1 ri


Shame, shame on those who have failed
to prevent this, and on those who now
permit it Better that the President and
his Cabinet, his quartermaster generals
and all their aids should. walk these icy
streets with naked feet till spring, than
that our noble army should be in the con-
ditiOn in which this blast of winter finds
them. The Government is cruelty crimi-
nally culpable in this matter; but there
is something more important and pressing
for the people now to do than sit in judg.
ment on delinquent officials, and that is
to do what they can to supply the neglects
of their public agents.


Our correspondent suggests convent
ent and ready mode by which at least
partial relief can be afforded We implore
all who have it in their power to adopt his
suggestion. This is NO false alarm-no
sensation paragraph. The condition of
the army is heartrendering. The people
must come to the rescue. Men who have
fought and suffered as they have done
must not be neglected by those who stay
at home to make money and keep snug
and warm. The Government cannot be
trusted. 1t has no forethought, or is
entirely Indifferent to the condition of the
men who are periling and enduring every
thing that the country may be rescued
and made free.


Let each citizen resolve the moment he
reads this, to furnish one or more pairs of
shoes, or, if they cannot be had, some
thing else that will serve to shield q sol
dier from suffering. If you haven't it,
buy it, no matter at what price, if you
can pay for it; for it is better to I'LL the
pockets of the horse leeches and blood
suckers who manufacture or sell shoes
and clothing than that this disgraceful
condition of things should continne an
hour. What say you, citizens of Rich

In a war speech at Cleveland on Monday
evening last, Ex- Governor Dennison said:


The President, as honest man as ever liv-
ed, has said that he must have three hundred
thousand men. and be shall have them. If that
will not do we will double the number, and will
fight this thing to the bitter end, if we have to
send our wives and daughters to till the fields.
Ohio has done hravely already, Ohio never has
faltered, Ohio never will falter, and Ohio will
be true ever hereafter as she has been ever
heretofore.


There is no end to be attained consistent
with the honor and safety of the country, ex-
cept the complete suppression of the rebellion,
There are those who do not go heartily into
this struggle because they don't like this or
that General, this or that poicy-this or that
law. Such men don't like their country, and
should be sent beyond the Federal lines into
the lines of the rebels, where they belong
No matter to what political party you origin
ally belonged, if you neither shoulder your
musket nor contribute of your means to the
support of our armies, you are neither Repub-
lican, nor democrat, nor Abolitionist, but a
Traitor! Immense cheering.l


And those who contribute to the support of
the families Of the men who ga to the Gea
must not lools an their contributions in the
light of gratuity. Those who go to the field
do not so look on their contributions Of life
and person, and if it is a duty for them to go
to the field in support of the government, it is
equally duty of those at home to support the
families of those who go,


The question has been asked, why not COM
promise? What compromise with treason
rebellion God forbid When man COM
promises with wrong he becomes a wrong do
er. When you compromise with treason you
become traitors. We will never compromise,
but we win fight for century, if need be-
We will desolate fields OF the South, and lay
their cities in ashes, rather than compromise.


Immense cheering. We have been asked
why not be kind to our erripg hrethrena They
have forgotten that they ever were our broth
ren, and we will forget it. If we can do it in
no other way we viii annihiIate them. There
is no middle ground. We must subiqgate or
be s99jugated. We want peace, but when it
comes we do not want temporizing peace
but peace forever. The only terms on which
peace can be had is the recognition by the
people of every State of the sovereignty and
complete supremacy Of the American Gov.

Now when stock OF all kinds sub
sist entirely on grass, and particular
ly when they are confined TO red clo-
yer, (I4gfoliuna pretense,) they should

They will consume no more than they

have it at any time when they would

When animals that chew the cud,
such as sheep, oxen, and COWS, feed
on red clover, they do not mastieata
it, as horses do, before it enters their
stomachg, and for this reason, they
are very liable to bloat and die In O
very short time. But when they have
free access to salt at all times, they
will consume enough of it to counter :
act the injurious effects which often
follows when animals subsist wholly
on that kind of grass. Salt appears
to rectify the acidity of their stom-
achs, and to prevent the formation Of
gas during the partial decomposition
Of clover, while it is being prepared
to be l'uminated, in the form of cuds,
after the animals have consumed
enough to fill the first stomach. For
this reason, let every animal have all
the salt it wants.

his own devising until some "alarming shock
of fate" awakes him to tie great fact of his
mortality and shows him the sandy foundation

COMMENTS OF TUE NASHVILLE UNION.


We are astonished that any editor should
have effrontery enough to assert such thing

ity, and to the avowals of rebel leaders them
selves, but in fragrant opposition to the record
The nation committed an objectionable Of
fence against the cotton oligarchy, by defeat
ing their candidate in 1860, and expelling
them from Office The fre-eaters seeded
then, for their creed was "rule or ruin" We
repeatedly proved that six Southern Senators
are responsible for the defeat of the Crittenden
amendment. And few, we suppose, since re-
cent developments believe that eyen the adop-
tion of the Crittinden compromise would have
contented tho rebels, as one Rf them said they
would not submit to Lincoln, al though they
might be allowed to dictate their own terms
on blank paper. II is gross stupidity, or
gross Ignorance, or gross want of candor, TO de
ny that the Southern leaders were the chiel
