Society. At their last meeting they resolved to give their jewelry, their gold and silver plate to the Confederacy, and to make an earnest appeal to all the ladies in our country to do the same, for the purpose of purchasing or assisting to purchase a navy for the Confederacy. An old gentleman present said he would give five hundred, or if necessary a thousand dollars for the same purpose. Will you be so kind as to present this matter to the President and Congress? and if they think well of it, please give it a place in your paper. The society desire the President, if he thinks it wise, to call upon all the ladies in the Confederacy to present their jewelry and their gold and silver plate, as a free — will offering upon the altar of their bleeding country. Thousands and thousands of them would gladly make this sacrifice, and their contributions would be swelled by hundreds and thousands from their fathers, husbands, and brothers. Yours, very respectfully, James H. Gaillard.
