TO THE SOUTHERN PUBLIC.
At a meeting of the citizens- of New Or
leans conv ned on thé 2!)th of July last, a per
manent committee of twenty lour gentlemen
was appointed to solicit contributions for the
relief of the sfck and wounded soldiers of the
Southern Confederacy, and provide for their
comfort during tlie war.
The undersigned, in behalf cf the roWmi'.tee
thus appointed, appeal to the humane and
patriotic to aid them in their holy work. It
behooves those who enjoy the safety and eom
forfs of home to testify, in a material form
their appreciation ofthe perils and sufferings
of nur brave volunteers." It is in our cause
they are : M icken, and it is our mission to
pour balm into their wounds. The poorest
ciui contribute something, aud the offering
will be appreciated ; perhaps such will be
especially blessed iu their results.
The ommittee will be advised of the nature
of supplies required at hospitals. Their ef
forts will not be confined to the soldiers of a
particular State or section. They Will afford
all the aid and relief in their power to all
stirrers in our cause. If means can be raised
they propose to organize a permanent system
of relief. Contributions of clothing, blanket?
and bed clothes, articles of nourishment sui
table for the sick, particularly sugar, coffee,
tea, rice, taj ioca. arrowroot, cordials, pure li
quors and wines, are specially sollicited.
Warm c.othing, woolen socks aud shoes, in
great quantity, will soon become absolutely
necessary in the latitude of the seat of war.
We appeal to our fellow-citizens not to aban
don our brave soldiers in their afflictions.
A warehouse for the reception of such sto
res jus may be contributed has been establis
hed at No. 58 C ravier street, where a relia
ble person will be in attendance. Each mem
ber of the Permanent Committee will receive
contributions iu money.
