To the owners of Horses and wagons.

In all human probability the next few days will witness, in the immediate vicinity of Richmond, one of the most desperate conflicts of which we have any record. It is within the power of the citizens of this city to contribute greatly to the relief of the sufferings of those who may be wounded in the impending battle. There are hundreds of good harness horses, and comfortable carriages and spring-wagons, that are doing nothing. When the fight does commence, let these be brought into service, and let them be sent to the field in charge of careful drivers, to bring off the unfortunate wounded. Many valuable lives may be thus saved, and much suffering salivated. This much is due from the citizens of Richmond to the soldiers who are periling their lives in its defence. A single horse should not be permitted to remain in the stable while the battle is raging or a wounded than remains upon the field.
