MARIA J. WESTMORELAND,

Atlanta, March 24th, 1862.
Responses to the Appeal of the Atlauta
Ladles’ Hospital Association for Contri
butions for the Sick Soldiers—Mrs. Isaac
Winship, President.
We give the following responses from Up-
sen County as specimens of the many noble
and patriotic onea, from our fair country wo
men :
Thomastun, Ga , March 13, 1862.
Mr. Richardson :
Dear Sir; Hearing that a large number of
the sick and wounded soldiers, from Tennes
see and Kentucky, were quartered in the city
of Atlanta, we concluded to solicit contribu
lions from our town and immediate vicinity,
to aid the good citizens of that place in sup
plying their wants. The fund amounts to
$122, less the Express charges. You will find
a list of the contributions below. Our call
was promptly responded to by all whom we
had the “good pleasure” to encounter, and ev
ery one bade us “ God speed" in so noble an
undertaking. Gallantly has old Upson re
sponded to her country’s call for volunteers,
and not only this, but liberally and patrioti
cally has she donated her means to aid the
suffering soldier. We feel proud to say that
Upson needed n? drafting, but when the ap
peal was made for volunteers twice the requi
site number came forward, and enlisted for
the war. We have now six full companies in
the field, (and a seventh forming,) ready to
meet the foe whenever they shall dare to
strike. The enclosed sum you will please re
mit to Mrs. Isaac Winship, President of the
Ladies’ Hospital Association.
Very respectfully,
JULIA F. GOODE,
FANNIE M. DRAKE.

Mrs. Isaac Winship,
President Soldiers’ Hospital Assoc’n :
Your touching appeal in behalf of the suf
fering soldiers with which Atlanta is crowd
ed, met with a noble response in our neigh
borhood. I know the ever-to-be-emulated
Florence Nightingale, in all her wanderings,
never risked bo wild a horse, never climbed as
many tall fences, or trudged over so many
rough, ploughed fieldB, as did my amiable
cousin and I the morning we set out on our
charitable expedition; and oh, how encoura
ging to be met everywhere with sympathetic
hearts and generous responses !
One instance in particular deserves to be
chronicled on the pages of history. We stopp
ed at a little vine clad cottage, where lived an
aged couple, one of whim had been afflicted
for many years. The old lady (Mrs. Goodwin)
is now seventy-five years of age, yet makes
her own bale of cotton every year! When
ahe learned the object of our errand, her eyes
filled with tears, and her answer was, “‘It is
more blessed to give than to receive,’ my child;
and though I am poor, with but little to give,
I am always willing to help the soldiers. Gcd
bless them!” Noble soul! Truly, “ the
brightest diamond is frequently found in the
deepest mine;” and though ahe had contribu
ted largely before, her bundle contains the
following : A feather bed. comfort, sheets, pil
lows and cases, and a sack ol dried fruit.—
Talk of subjugating the South, when such a
spirit as this dwells in our women—alike in
the young and aged, the rich and the poor!—
Sever can we be crushed out, though the foe
should come by billions instead of thousands,
as long as we are animated by this spirit
around our hearthstones.
All are willing to give, and theory for more

ARTILLERY CORPS
FOR THE WAR.
B Y the authority of the Secretary of War,
and the consent of the Governor of Ga.,
I propose to raise a regiment of Mounted Ar
tillery, to be composed of at least six compa
nies of at least eighty men each, besides com
missioned officers. I am authorized to furnish
batteries, horses, harness, tents, uniforms,
transportation, subsistence, Ac., for the entire
corps at government expense. These equip
ments are now in a state ol preparation, and
will all be ready in four to six weeks.
I have seen nine months service as com
mander of the largest battery in the Potomac
army, and trust that this will be a sufficient
guarantee as to my qualifications to command
the corps.
Companies or individual members enlisting
in this corps may bring their horses if they
choose, which will be valued and paid for at
once, provided said horses are over five and
under ten years, with broad chest, weighing
at least 1000 pounds, sound, well broko and in
good order.
Until the corps go's into rendezvous the
company organization will consist of one cap
tain, one first and one second lieutenant.
The field artillery is the favorite arm of the
service, both on account of its superior effi
ciency and less exposure to danger.
My address from and after the 1st of April
will be Atlanta, Georgia; my quarters at
Washington Hall. I will receive whole com
panies or squads of ten men at my quarters.
Those who would avail themselves of the
very best opportunity of serving their country
in this her greatest extremity, may now come
forward and enlist at once.
