BSy A Noblk Work fob Womrx. The
labor of preparing hospital bedding and
bed clothing for tho sick and wounded sol
diers of our army, devolves principally
upon tho loyal women of our country.
The cold winter is fast approaching, and
our soldiers must be supplied with many
things which cannot be furnished by the
Government. Through the U. S. 8anitary
Commission, the way is open by which the
wants of the sick and wounded of tho army
can be ascertained and supplied.
An office is now open in this city, under
the direction of tho U. S. Sanitary Com
mission, for tho accumulation of contri
butions previous to their assignment to
places of need.
Will the 1 tidies of Wheeling and West,
ern Virginia, of Eastern Ohio and Penn
sylvania, unite with us in this labor of
mercy? Organize socieiios, solicit mate
rial, and make up comforters, sheets
shirts, drawers, pillows, &c., and forward
to this office. Read whnt the President
anil Gen. Scott say:
The Sanitary Commission is doing a
work of great h nmanity, and of direot
Time if1! 1,10 n"?ou, iu this its
ime of trial. It 13 entitled to the gratl
" the confidence or the people, and
I .rust it will be generously supported.?
