Tlmt Appeal for the Soldiers.
We hope every lady in LaG range lias
read the appeal, by ft member of the Sol
diers’ Aid Society, which appeared in otir
paper of last week. It was a slicing appeal.
It wns touching, and the female heart that
could resist it must be callus indeed. We
wish wo cauld send such uii appeal to every
woman’s and man’s heart in the whole Con
federacy. Every ear shotild hear its patri
otic sTratmr—trarrcnmir.,v «wrt sacred
tion to the cause of humanity—to the cause
of our naked and shoeless soldiers. Groat
God! is there u I'emulo heart—is-there
heart in La Grange that duos not l-uapoml to
that appeal ? Wc do not bcliovo there rfie
many. The ovidt-nco is iijit want tug, wcore
told, that,there are a few—a very few—-hearts
that have not*been touched by the sad and
Biekoniiig naratives of the sufi’ciings of onr
naked and destitute soldiers.
How many of you that have blankets up
on your beds while onr solders liuvo not the
"wrapping of their linger” wherewith to be
covered? Can yon quietly repose upon your
downy beds at night and not, ilJpk of the
soldier who is stuuding. a shivering,-barefoot
ed sentinel, without anything to rover his
ehoitlders in tlio cold and dump nTmOfipjierr?
If you think of him and. hnve-a ,hciiit r yon
must sympathize with him and in;,witling to
give np your last blanket for his vplief. Von
do not need blankets when quilts- and -com-
forts will answer yonr purposes' d.-i well.-'-
The soldiers cannot use quills very well In
camps, because it taken too long to dry them
when wet. lllunkels can bo quickly dried;
and, therefore, lio one ought to keep their
blankets if they f(/tvc Ijuiltn of' CHtUlorls, dr
can get them. In short, t-vtippy blanket
that possitily uuu be .spared ought to Lie
sent forthwith.
Again wo argo .upon : the Women of La-
Grunge to come forward umf give 1 heir aid
and contributiopH to the Ladies'SuidhM s'So
ciety. Tlie memters of the society need help —
tlioy desiro credit"for what they have dime
ami are striving to do. Let nrttao lag be
hind; but be lip and doing while ifiey eiiii
do good and relieve the .distresses of our
poor soldiers. Let every mini drnwoyt his
nioiiey anil short' that he has a line patriotic
heart by his liberal contributions. Let there
be no laggards in this grout, and nolile work.
A Cliuiicc to get Salt.
We call tho attention of all who arc inter
ested in procuring salt to the advertisement
of thu “Urnntvillo Salt Manufacturing Gum-
puny,” which will be organized at (j'rnhtville
to-morrow. Those who have not rpeured a
supply of salt should lose no time in sending
in thoir subscriptions at once; for we have
no doubt but that tho proposed stock of
$50,(100 in the Granfvillo company tVi|l lie
taken up immediately. Wd'urge ove%y body
Is make every possible effort UipnVcurO salt
in whatever way they can; for we'Jinn as
sure them that it will be idle for them-to
expect to get suit without some risk arid
expense. The Grulilvillc company ivjjl coin-
nionce operations at tho salt works in Ala
bama as soon us it is organized. Kettles,
Ac., have already boon purchased in part,
and the prospects of tho company arc good
for a supply of salt to its stockholders.
Dr. Jno. F. Moreland and the editor o!
Ibis paper ure authorized -to leeeivo and re
ceipt for subscriptions to stock in said com
pnny. Let no one delay muiumii. -
DKATiror A UooB Ottizen.— Last week we
published a notice of the death of.uhe of our
moat highly respected citizens, Mr. Ciiahi,us
I). Pollen, long engaged in thu incpoauUb-
busiuess uudsr thu firm name of “-Fallen &
Cox.” lie was about forly-scveo years ol
age. Mr. P. was remarkiiblo fur bis amiable-
ness of ohaructei* and us a limn who pm-
sued, us nearly as any rnun could, "the even
tenor of Ium way"—not interfering with thu
affairs, of or speaking evil, of uny liody. He
was certainly thu most quiut, unobtrusive,
unostentatious mnn we ever knew. Plain,
practical and scrupulously honest In all I hr
walks of life, be was n model of a man; and
his serene life, virtuous character, and his
entire freedom from all oulwurd pretensions,
is only fully appreciated und admired now
that he has passed from us to that laud ol
rest which remuioeth alone for the good and
the noble. Ilis demise was a glorious tri
umph over death and the grave! Requievcat
in face !
The New York Herald.
We have received this delectable sheet, of
the let iiilM., with the "compliments of Lieut.
N. W. Miller, of the 81st Georgia regiment,
Into • prisoner of war at Fort Delaware.”—
If our people would bcliovo tho Herald, the
backbone of the Confederacy wus broken at
the battle of Sharpsburg; that onr govern
ment is on tho wane, and is ready to agree
to any sort ot terms of peace, so that we
could end tho war. Tho Herald beforo us
says “it is evident, from the tone which the
rebel journals Imvc assumed, tlmt a desire
for peuco is gaining strength in the Smith j”
und that it was “reported, although upon
vague rumor, that a commissioner, or some*
thing of that kind,” Imd “been appointed by
tho rebel Congress to make p/opositious of
peuco upon certain terms.”
The Herald produces garbled extracts from
the Riclqinmd papers to prove the waning
fortunes of our government, and says: “Now,
to say nothing 'if the rumors afloat of the
tlmt.xotpmliBteii, -under in.
slructions embracing,q qualified restoration
of-the Union, we think it apparent, from the
general tone and some special remark’s of
tliQ Richmond journals, that Jeff Davis and
his ruling Confederates are beginning to be
sick of the war and their gloomy prospects
ol Southern independence.'” Continues the
Herald)—*'All these confessions and opinions
from the central organs of the rebellion, be
tray the symptous of a speedy collapse;”
ami that ,‘‘the simple truth is,” us it duelurc-d
tho next day, "the buttle of Aniieiatn has
bryocu the backbone uf the rebellion.”
This is the way in which tho spirits of thii
Northern people are kept up by their pret;s.
By garbled quotations from Southern jour
nals, tlioy nitrite the people of tho North be-
litive that ire; ourselves, ebtmldcr oar caiWc
hopeless, and that tho Ljiicqln dynasty baa
bnt to proseeuto'tlie wur cA»or,gotically for u
few inoiioidays, woeks or months in order to
“cruali the robellioti.” Thiis (he wer is eon-
tinned, a lid madg tb appear popular among
the people.
Lieut. Miller will please accept our thunks

however, until tlie South has both “won and
