Ice! ice! ice!

--An appeal is most earnestly made to our patriotic citizens residing at a distance from Richmond, and who possess ice-houses, to forego the luxury themselves this one summer, as far as practicable, and send all they can spare to this city for the use of our wounded. In the treatment of gunshot and bayonet wounds ice is an indispensable auxiliary. By its timely use many a noble life can be saved. If our country friends could only witness the lacerated and bleeding limbs of our gallant defenders, and listen to the half-suppressed means of agony that come up from hundreds of beds of suffering, we know their hearts would open wide, and that they would not only give up their ice, but every luxury they possess under God's own heaven. Send your ice.
