vited to make their wants known to us. In order the better to cultivate this great field, sub-committees have been appointed at prominent points to look out and place in schools those whom we propose to benefit, and to aid in disbursing the funds entrusted to the committee. Thus we hope to extend our operations to every county and every neighborhood in the Commonwealth. It is stated, on what seems to be good authority, that there are from five to ten thousand children in the State of Virginia whose fathers have been killed, have died or been disabled in the service. Every day that the struggle is protracted, the number, already so startling, will be increased. A large proportion of these little ones are in indigent circumstances. The means that had been accumulated by the toil and economy of their parents have been consumed during these long, sad years of war. While their property has been wasting away, the cost of education, like everything else, has been augmenting, u

so exhausted that assistance will be necessary to almost the entire population. To meet the large expenditure which will then be required, we ought now to lay aside half a million of dollars. Whatever may be thought as to the ultimate redemption of the Confederate currency, it can hardly be doubted that our Government will make good every dollar which may be consecrated to this noble work. It will never repudiate a bond which has been donated to a service so sacred. I leave this appeal with you — confidently expecting that you will render us every assistance in your power, and that by means of your co-operation scores of these dear little ones will be rescued from ignorance and vice, and be rendered worthy of the noble men whose names they bear — men who have lost limb or life that freedom might be saved. If you can in any way aid us, please let us hear from you by mail. Address Rev. A. E. Dickinson, Corresponding Secretary Orphan Committee, Richmond, Virginia

ucing a proper pass, signed by the provost-marshal or other proper authority. On Monday night a lieutenant of the police undertook to arrest three or four disorderly soldiers. A fight ensued.--The citizens gathered to assist the lieutenant. They were deterred, however, by the arrival of a gang of soldiers — comrades of the disorderly ones — who raised a "rallying cry" and rescued the first party from the hands of the officers of the law. A difficulty, which came near proving serious, occurred Sunday evening. A well-known citizen being stopped by the guard, and believing it to be a bogus party, fired, but fortunately missed. An explanation ensued, and the affair was amicably settled. At a court-martial recently held on Sullivan's island five men were found guilty of desertion and condemned to be shot with musketry. Among them are three brothers, the only remaining male members of a respectable family. We have not learned at what time the execution is to take plac

ct, will go further than arrests after the offence. For some time past assaults and robberies on our streets during the night have been so frequent that citizens compelled to be out on business found it necessary to go armed. Many of these assaults and robberies have been traced to gangs of lawless and disorderly soldiers forming themselves into bands of bogus provost guards. Our citizens will be glad to learn that an effectual check has been put to these lawless proceedings. Captain Gazer, provost-marshal-general, has instituted a special provost guard to act in connection with the police and arrest all persons found on the streets after hours without the proper papers or vouchers. Every law and order-loving citizen will approve this arrangement, securing as it does his safety when out at night. Our citizens can materially assist the guard by carrying and producing a proper pass, signed by the provost-marshal or other proper authority. On Monday night a lieuten
