TO THE PUBLIC.
Augusta, Ga., August 12th, 1861.
Under an appointment made by our fellow-citi
zens, we have been some time acting in the man
agement of a Hospital Fund, which has been rais-
d, and is being raised in our State, and applied for
the benefit of the sick and wounded of the Georgia
forces in the field.‘This has been called the “Geor
gia Soldiers Hospital Fund,” and we respectfully
ask that you will assist us, by organizing an aux
iliary committee, or otherwise acting in your coun
ty. We have at present two surgical directors,
and several assistants or nurses, who, by permis
sion of the {Secretary of War, are in permanent at
tendance on the Hospitals. These not only afford
the necessary ministrations to our sick and wound
ed, but supply them with such extra comforts as
are proper in their situation. As the number of
the sick and wounded increase, there will of course
be an increased demand for such services and such
comforts , and we appeal to our fellow-citizens in
all parts of the State, (for we make no distinction
in our ministrations, and know noue ; every son
and soldier of Georgia having the same claim up
on us, and equally receiving the attention of our
agents.) to aid us iu this interesting work.
A patriotic aud humane planter has suggested in
one of the public gazettes that the planters of Geor
gia should contribute each one bale of Cotton to
this Fuud, so as to put it upon an entirely secure
and independent basis. Upon this many have act
ed, and have sent us subscriptions. If others choose
to do so, we will thankfully receive them, and prom
ise that we will dispose of them to the best advan
tage in aid of this pious charity.
The Cotton can he subscribed—to be sent to our
chairman, or to the donor’s factor, aud the proceeds
turned over to our chairman for the purposes in
tended. If at the end of the war there should be
a surplus of this Fund left, we propose to divide it
among the indigent families of such of our soldiers
as may die in the serv ice.
Persons sending boxes of articles will please
place a list and the number of the contents legibly
upon the outside. Any package intended for the
sick and wounded of a particular compauy, if sent
to our care, will be carefully forwarded.
We append a list of the articles, arrauged iu the
order which (if the subscription should be in such
things) will be found most useful:
Sheets, pillows and pillow cases, handkerchiefs,
hose, jackets, drawers, socks, shirts, towels, blan
kets, coverlids, tea, coffee, arrow root, rice, sugar,
corn starch, isinglass, lime juice, medicines of all
kinds, bandages, wines, brandies, liquorice, rose
water and flax seed. Shirts,—Two breadths of
unbleached cotton, 1] yards long, 1 yard wide, open
at bottom 4 yard ; sleeve, leuth yard ; armhole,
length 12 inches ; length of collar 20 inches; length
of slit in front 28 inches ; a piece 4 inches wide,
lapping under, fastened with 4 tapes; short bed
gowns, as shirts only, only 1 yard long and open
in front. Cotton drawers. 1$ yards long, with
breadth of 1 yard in each leg, with liem and draw
string around each leg and the waist; length of
waist to crotch 12 inches on the back, front 11 inch
es, with 3 buttons and button holes.

Has it come to Tbis ?
It appears that with a little more promt
ness in the charge of tho Rebel CAvalry,
“Gen Schenck’s entire brigade, with all
the civilians, would have been entirely
cut off.” The country would have mourn
ed the capture of Gcq. Schenck’s brigade,
but if the civilians bad been taken with
them, there would have been full compen
sa:ion. This tardiness of the Southern
charge may be termed our greatest misfortune
of Sunday.—Daily Advertiser.
When it is remembered that a large
number of members of Congress, of both
branches are comprehended in this expos
tulation against the too slow movement of
the Southern cavalry—including both of
the Massachusetts Senators—multitudes
would feel what a gain it would have been
to have met with their loss. Their cap
ture would have been one ’of the most
efficient means of settling the whole
controversy. But, alas! they were on
the out skirts of the battle-field, neatly
five miles distant from the actual con
ilict, and like the lame Vermont cap
tain, on another occasion, thought it fair
to start first. With such an advantage in
distance and a display of agility said to
have been entirely unparalleled, no cav
alry could be swift enough to overtake
these chief promoters and fugitives from
war.—Boston Courier.
A RECORD OF INFAMY.
The disclosures of Gov. Dickens iu re
lation to the secret of the Lincoln Cabinet
upon tlie question of reinforcing Fort Sum
ter, wbile they will surprise nobody in the
South, will make their appeal to every hon
est and candod man North of the Poto
mac and help forward a reaction, if any
has commenced. It will be seen that the
Lincolu Cabinet bad determined upon an
abandonment of Fort Sumter, for the rea
sons stated iu an editorial for a New York
paper prepared by them, and a proof sheet
of which was before the Cabinet. In that
article is the damning—the diabolical
suggestions, that by the sacrifice of the
garrison at the Fort, they could rouse the
North to the highest pitch of war fury, bat
its consequences would be so horrid upon
the South, in stimulating a servile war and
unusual massacre, that the Cabinet coaid
not take the responsibility of setting such a
war ou foot. Yet in one night, in fall ac-
ception of the consequences dej>icted lyr
verse the policy they had agreed upon—
did conclude to sacrifice the Fort Sumter
garrison—light the match of the great
War Magazine their hellish ingenuity had
described, and consign the South, accor
ding to their conclusions, to universal mas-
sacree. Following out this diabolical poli
cy then deliberately agreed upon, all the
armaments sent to the relief of Fort Sum
ter were a mere sham and blind—they
were doubtless instructed to act as they did
act—lay outside the harbor and make no
effort to relieve the doomed garrison, when
the Cabinet had deliberately determined
to offer up a bloody sacrifice to the Moloch
of Noithern aboltionism, in order to stir
it up to an infernal phrenzy which should
demand an unsparing vengencc. But
just God intervend to save the devoted
garrison, and in part thwart these diaboli
cal machinations. That miracle of this
century happened—thirty six hours’ bom
bardment and not a soul hurt! The effect,
however, upon the North was hardly shprt
of what it was desigued to be. A univer
sal clamor to arms followed, from thou
sands who thought they were following
the instincts ot patriotism, rather than
playing the part of poor dupes of a bloody
cabinet plot. Surely some effect mnst fol
low Gov. Pickens’ exposure of these in
fernal machinations !—Telcgrajdt.
Tiie Geography of Consumption—The
following information is derived from
manuscript of the forthcoming work enti
tled, “Iufiueuce of Climate in North Ameri
ca
“Consumption originates in all latitudes
from tho equator, where the mean tempera
ture is SO deg. Fahreinheit, with slight va
riations, to the higher position of the tem
perate zone, where the mean temperature
is 40 deg., with sudden and violent chages.
The opinion long entertained that it is
peculiar to cold and humid climates, is
founded in error. Far from this being
the case, the table of mortality warrant
the conclusion, that consumption is some
times more prevalent in tropical than in
temperate climates. Consumption is rare
in the arctic regions, in Siberia, Iceland,
Orkneys, and Hebrides ; also in the North
western part of the United States.
In North America, th^diseases of the
respiratory organs, of whicli-.consumption
is the chief, have the maximum in New
England, in latitude about forty-two de
grees, and diminish in all directions from
this point inlaud. The diminution is qnite
as rapid Westward as Southward, and a
large district near lorty-two degrees par
allel, is qnite uniform at twelve to fifteen
per cent, of comsuinption, while Massachu
setts varies from twenty to twenty-five.—
At the border of the dry climate of theplains,
Minnesota, a minimum is attained, as low
as that occurring in Florida and not ex
ceeding five percent, of the mortality. If
is still lower in Texas, and the minimum
for the Continent, in temperate latitudes,
is in Southern California. The upper pen
insula of Michigan, embracing the whole
of Lake Superior region, Minessota, Ne
braska, and Washington Territories, are
all alike exempt in * remarkable degree
from the above fatal disease. Invalids suf
fering from pulmonary complaints and
throat diseases, are almost uniformly bene
fited by the climate of the above Northern
region, having a mean annual temperatuie
from 40 to 45 degrees, Fahrenheit.

Prince Jerome Napoleon, second heir to
the French crown, and* the confidential
agent of the French Emperor in more than
one of the most serious and thorny trans
actions with foreign nations that have
been epochs in his reign, is now at Wash
ington under circumstances of considerable
mystery, lt is a trait of the country and
the period that this singular conjunction
has attracted scarcely any public atten
tion. Yet, among Europeans nations, ac
customed and acquainted with the signs of
diplomatic work.itjwill be observed with ab
sorbing interest and considered an incident
of preponderating importance. Tbis man
has not been ordered here for nothing.—
Two nations are engaged in deadly hos
tilities, a id a member of tlie imperial fam
ily, according to diplomatic usage, could
visit one of them on two grounds only ;
first that France designs to make canse
with that one against the other; or, second
ly, that she offers her mediation between
the belligerents.
The first of these suppositions is clearly
mpossible in the present case. That great
and politic Government has no motive to
take np the quarrel of the North with the
South, and everything to lose by that step.
It is, indeed, evident to common sense that
the visit of the Prince cannot signify alli
ance. It must mean mediation. This
war cannot continue longer than this year
without raining large classes of French
citizens and creating the gravest embar
rassment in the financial and political af
fairs of that country. The Emperor would,
naturally desire to do all that he can to
wards the conclusion of this war by diplo
macy, without restoring to the extremity
which mnst follow if negotiation fails and.

France is the only great power in con^
dition to act at present; for England is
balanced between Exter Hall aud Man
chester. Official denial of all politicial
significance in the Prince’s visti to Wash
ington will of course be made ; they were
also made in the strongest form when he
contracted the Italian marriage that was
the signal of the Italian war.

Sweet Temper,-—General Jackson once
said to a young lady, in whose welfare he
felt a deep interest:
“I cannot forbear pointing out to you, my
dear child, the great advantages that will
result from a temperate condupt and sweet
ness of manner to all people, j>n all occa
sion. Never forget that yon are a gentle
woman, and all yonr words and actions
should make yon gentle. I never heard
yonr mother—your dear, good mother—
say a harsh or hasty r thing to any person
in my life. Endeavor to imitate her.—
I am quick and hasty in my temper, hat
it is a misfortune which, not having been
sufficiently restrained in my youth, has
caused me inexpressible pain. It has giv-
in me more trouble to subdue this impetu
osity than anything I ever undertook.”
A Gentleman.—Show me a man who
can quit the compai^^of the young to
listen to tho kindly voice of age—who
can hold cherftil conversation with one
whom years have deprived of ail charms ;
show me the man who is willing to help—
as if the blush of Helen mantle on his
cheek; show me 4tbe man who would
no sooner look rndely ai the poor girl ia
the village than at the well dressed in the
saloon ; show me the man who treats un
protected maidenhood, as he would tire
heiress rurronnded by the powerful pro
tections of rank, riches and family—show
me him that abhors the liberfine’s gibe—
who shunsiiim as the blasphemer and tra-
ducer of his mother’s sex—who scorns a a
ho would the coward the ridicnler of a
woman’s reputation ; show me a man who
never forgets for an 4081301 the delicacy
and respect that is d^e to a woman in any
condition or class, ana yon show me a true

the name is one whose thoughts and exer

whose high purpose is adopted on just
principles, aud never abandonedjwhilelseav-

an indirect advantage by a specious word,
nor take an evil path to secure a real

whom a woman’s heart should beat eon-
