g and bedding, and various other articles not issued by Government, and employs additional nurses and dressers. 3. The Commission prints and circulates among the volunteers (both officers and men) rules to be observed in regard to sanitary points, and advice as to the means of preserving health while in the field. It is in the daily receipt of stores of various kinds, clothing, bedding, &c., which are distributed from its office in Washington. Funds are required to meet the expenses of their transportation and storage. For means to carry out these objects the Commission relies wholly on the liberality of the community. It does not apply to Government for funds, because its moral influence and power of usefulness would be destroyed by any real or supposed connection with political agencies; and also, because it could not expect to obtain from Government means sufficient for the work it has undertaken. Geo. T. Strong, Treasurer. 68 Wall Street, New York, August 23, 1861.

Doc. 32. exploit of Capt. Strong. Praise of Capt. Strong, of the Belle City Rifles, Second Wisconsin regiment, for his brilliant exploit in escaping, as he did, from the rebels, is in almost everybody's mouth.

He is only about twenty-one or twenty-two years of age, well built, and very agile and active. He was regarded in college as the best jumper, runner, &c., andCapt. Strong, of the Belle City Rifles, Second Wisconsin regiment, for his brilliant exploit in escaping, as he did, from the rebels, is in almost everybody's mouth. We understand that when he enlisted, he was a student in Racine College, and was formerly a student in Beloit College. He is only about twenty-one or twenty-two years of age, well built, and very agile and active. He was regarded in college as the best jumper, runner, &c., and withal an excellent shot. He was popular with the students. His parents reside in Shopiere, Rock County. From his account of his escape we take the following:-- As I was passing through a thicket, I was surrounded by six rebel soldiers--four infantry and two cavalry. The footmen were poorly dressed, and badly armed, having old rusty altered muskets. The cavalry were well mounted and well armed. Seeing I was caught, I thought it best to surrender at once. So I said, Gentlemen, yo
