For the Gazette. At a meeting of the Ladies' Union Aid Society of Lewistown, held at the house of G. W. Elder, Esq., Monday evening. May Ist, the object and interests of U. S. Sanitary Com mission fur the benefit of our sick and wounded soldiers, were consider ed and fully endorsed A Committee of Ladies was appointed, for the purpose of collecting funds and se curing contributions of fancy and useful articles for the Central Fair to be held in Philadelphia during the month of June, consisting of Mrs. Lawrence, Mrs. !>uoy, Mrs. Hannah L. Harries, Mrs. Brisbin, ; 3lrs Mary Webb, Mrs Alter, Miss Jane A. Kenard, Miss Carrie sigler The Society adjourned to assemble in public meeting in the Town Hail Saturday evening, May 7, to which all, young and old, are earnestly invited. The scope and operations of the U. S. Sanitary Commission are so well known that an allusion t# it or its operations is scarcely necessary. Our apology for refer ing to it now is to call attention to the fact that for the successful prosecution of its labor it needs material and money, and now make a distinct call to a generous and patriotic people to furnish both. Experi ence hf:s fully shown that other agencies, individual as well as organized, have been far less efficient and useful than it has been, (perhaps with the exception of the Chris tian Commission, these two now embrac ing uearly the whole field of useful opera tions.) To make the most out of means contributed to any enterprize, the means must be used under the most intelligent individual, or organized direction. The individual ogenoies and local organizations, have proved entirely inadequate to relieve the necessities of our large armies in the field, and shown very clearly that these agencies for the relief of our sick and wounded can be made available only by providing the means either in cash or sup plies to a general and more thorough or ganization, such as the U. S. Sanitary Com mission, and then look to it for the proper distributions both as to time and place. When the shock of a great battle comes to awaken the public mind to the necessity of providing supplies for sick and wound- | ed men, weeks must elapse before supplies ! can be gathered, weeks in which noble ' men suffer and die for want of supplies, ' and when provided they are often sent to I waste at points when they are not needed, j This aid, in failing to come just when, and just where, it is most needed, fails almost entirely to serve any useful purpose. The government has often acknowledged the invaluable, services of this Commission, and at all times placed every facility at its disposal for carrying out its objects. It places agents with abundant supplies on hand in every Camp, in every Hospital, and on every Battlefield, in short wherev er our brave men are called upon to suffer or to die, there are found the agents of the "U. S S. Commission" to do for them all that devoted men and women can do. Immense sums of money and material have been expended under the direction of this commission; large sums will be need- I ed for supplies in the coming campaign. ; To raise their supplies and their money the commission appeals to the generous men and women of the North. To these ap peals New York, Ohio, and llliuois have nobly responded, and now through the agency of the "Philadelphia Fair" under j the management of Bishops Potter, Simp i son, and other great and good men in Church and State, it asks how much will Pennsylvania give? How much will little ' Mifflin give? How much will each of her towns and townships give? llow much will j each of the men at home give to furnish necessaries for the sick and wounded men ; who peril health and life in the camp and field in their defence? How much will the j rich man out of his abundance give? And how much can the generous poor man spare? Whilst it is true that for giving money are frequent, yet the peo ple of this couuty have seldom been ap pealed to in aid of this special object, and whilst some have given of their means, the large majority have contributed noth ing. Then is it asking too much for the ' Philadelphia Fair to call upon yon now, by individual exertion and local organiza tions in Mifflin county to come up and aid i the "Commission" either in money, useful or fancy articles. Humanity, self respect, ! and a just pride demand that each one and all shall do something*now; great armies lie in sight of each other and gather up their strength for the final struggle, great battles impend, great suffering must ensue; ! then come up like christian men and wo- 1 men, and do in aid of this fund what duty to yourself and your country calls you to do. In conclusion we are authorized to assure individuals or organizations in the county that the Ladies' Aid Society of Lewistown are in correspondence with the : managers of the Philadelphia Fair, and will cheerfully assume the charge of any material or money given to it Communi cations addressed to Mrs. Walters, Mrs. ; Hoffman or Mrs. Elder Ac., will receive prompt attention. LADIES' AID SOCIETY. e know nothing of the case spoken of by Captain Swain in the following communication, which wo give at length: Camp of 49th Regiment Penna. Vol. Messrs. Frt/singer—l beg room in your colummMo make a statement concerning the bounty of veteran !i'7 s 1,1 company B. of this regiment, who are Veytown a p a part of thc 'l uota of tht * Borough of Jtc timehi?he t eeJ? n f r to eommand the company at the , , " tnK ' nts ffere rnr "t'-' of course to he eler, vJa e f t 0 rcceiTe a !' ,h( ' pecuniary benefits i . derived from re-entering the service, as manv rllfi f W6re oftur jj?£ bounties, and were pre paied to pay it. Ihe men were at liberty to have J chose their own, believing the promises extended were sincere, and that the money would ho paid while they were at home on furlough. When tney reached home they discovered that, owing to discouragements and obstacles thrown in the way by the less loyal portion of the community, the proposi tion, (L think of Mr. Calbraith) to raise"funds by sub scription had beeu abandoned, and they were likely to sutler for receiving as truth, the assurances of men who shou.d have been their friends. When it appeared probable that the veteran - could change their places ! of assignment, the people of McYeytown became alarmed at the prospect of losing the credit already obtained,and proceeded at one* t<> organize a Mmuri tv committee." siW to raise funds, giving the veteran* to understand that they should receive a bounty; and the men returned to the regiment with that belief. I vis it d McVeytown in February, carrying with me the certificates necessary to procure the payment of the money, and it was understood that I should so arrange the matter, as to enable the men to receive it. by means of orders in favor of their friends. Afier the return of the veterans, but previous to my visit to Pennsyl vania it was announced from Provo'Mttrshal General's office that veterans would not be permitted to chance the r places oi assignment. consequemlv the boniuv movement in their fav.-r was stopped "at once, anil w . n i introduced the subject ro Mr. Dull. a member of tiC committee, by asking.whetlier thev bad made an -preparation to pay the bountv, or if tiiev had not whether they intended to: tie replied that no such preparation was made, and that no such bountv woii'd be paid. J The Legislature had at that time under considera tion the H I approved .March 25th 19C4. and it was probable that all veterans who received no loeal bounty would be credited to the • Stare at large." and would receive - State bounty;" consequently 1 retain ed the certificate, hoping to secure every possible benefit for the men of my commaud. and not feel in" authorized to place the papers in any other hand un til the money was secured. Soon alter I returned to the regiment, I received a communication signed by all the members of the committee, directing me to forward the certificates, and stating that the money would be paid. When the letter reached camp the corps was holding a posi tion at Kobisons Liver. \a. I forwarded the papers by the first mail after our return, and learned from a let ter to corpora! Price that as they were received too late, the money would not lie paid. ' ,M le \? t<?ran ? were highly indignant at the conduct of the Committee, and attributed the refusal to pat to a desire t pi event the money they were deputed' to di-burse, from reaching any other hands It soon became apparent that the action of thecom mittee was not endorsed by the public-, and they be gan to loo* about for means to shirk the responsibili ty- . 1 i' e - v asserted as often as opportunity ottered that their failure to pay, was altogether owing to mv refusal to furnish the necessary papers, and Mr. Me- Biide in a letter to corpora! Price, endeavors to create the same impression. They know the story to be false, but having deceived the men once, are not at all scrupulous alxiut doing so again, although thev rare nothing about public opinion, unless itinterfcrc's with their money getting. Efforts were made while the veterans were at home to induce them to promise their support to the McClellan ticket at the coming election, and ;i the "copperhead. " who tried to secure the pledge hopes to effect anything in that wav he must keep himself "right with the soldiers;" therefore Mr. Dull resorts to the most shameful falsehood,hop ing by a show of friendliness, to manufacture influence in this regiment. He has the co-oporation of the other members of the committee who may not be aware of his real intention, but are equally disgraced by dishonorable participation. I regret the necessity which compels me to ques tion the character or motives of any man. but the as sault has been commenced by the. "other party, aud I owe it to myself to afford the public a view "of both sides of the cu.-e. E. T. SWAIX, Capt., 49th P. V. J&r The copperhead press having started the falsehood that the Jr. E. Conference had granted the certificate given by Mr. Dosh to Mr. Kepler, Rev. Mr. Kirby sends us the following com munication : Rev. S Kepler. '•This ocrtifms that tin; R**v. Samuel Kepler. having for reason satisfactory to himself, withdrawn from the Methodist Episcopal Church, at the session-if the East Baltimore Conference held at Altoona. March IS4. i> hereby affectionately commended as a minis ter of the Gospel to all Christian people." Given March 9, 1*61. jxo. 11. C. DOSH, (True copy.) Secretary. This is a true copy of the certificate giv en by the secretary of the East Baltimore Conference, to the above named person But allow us to say it is wholly gratuitous on the part of the Secretary, he having no authority whatever from the church or conference to do so. And it is manifest injustice to the church and conference, for him to give such a document and especial ly so in this case. Mr. K. saw clearly as his trial progress ed that it would terminate in his expul sion, were it permitted to go on, and ask ed through four brethren, members of the court of trial, the privilege of withdraw ing from the church, and as an act of mer cy the charges were withdrawn to allow his withdrawal from the Methodist connec tion. The conference then by a vote granted him a "certified copy of the action in his case," and thus his connection with the M. E. Church was served. The conference (the only body in whom is invested the power to do so) did not grant him a certificate or letter of recom mendation, or anything of this kind. This certificate is therefore of no earthly value except as the commendation of an individ ual member of the conference, and should have no influence with other religious bodies as coming from the Methodist Epis copal Church.

IMP BUM, THESE Bonds are issued under the Act of Congress of March Bth. 1864, which provides that all Bonds issued under this Act shall be EXEMPT FROM TAX ATION bv or tinder any state or municipal authority. Subscriptions to these Bonds are received in United States notes or notes of National Banks. They are TO BE REDEEMED IX COIN, at the pleasure of the Government, at any period not less tluxn ten nor more than forty years from their date, aud until their redemption FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN, en Bonds of not over one hun dred dollars annually and on all other Bonds semi annually The interest is payable on the first days of March and September in each year. - Subscribers will receive either Registered or Cou pon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are recorded on the books of the U. S. Treasurer, and can be transferred only on the owner's order. Cou pon Bonds are payable to bearer, and are more con venient for commercial uses. Subscribers to this loan will have the option of hav ing their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by paying the accrued interest in coin—(or in United States notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent, for premium.) or receive them drawing interest from the date of subscription and deposite. As these Bonds are ~ Exempt from Municipal or State Taxation, their value is increased from one to three per cent, per annum, according to the rate of tax levies in va rious parts of the country. At the present rate of premium on gold they pay Over Eight Per Cent. Interest in currency, and are of equal convenience as a per manent or temporal- investment. It is believed that no securities offer so great induce ments to lenders as the various descriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of private parties or stock companies or separate communities only is pledged for payment, wtiile for the debts of the United States the whole property of the country is holden to secure the pay ment of both principal and interest in coin. These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from SSO up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thus made equally available to the smallest lender and the largest capitalist. They can. be converted . into money at any moment, and the bolder will have the benefit of the interest. It may be useful to state in this connection that the total Funded Debt of the United States on which in terest is payable in gold, on the 3d day of March, 1864, was $768,965,000. The interest on this debt for the coming fiscal year will be $45,937,126. while the cus toms revenue in gold for the current fiscal year, ending June 30th, 1664, has been so far at the rate of over $100,000,000, per annum. It will be seen that even the present gold revenues of the Government are largely in excess of the want s of the Treasury for the payment of gold interest while the recent increase of the tariff'will doubtless raise the annual receipts from customs on the same amount ot importations, to $150,060,000 per annum. Instructions to the National Banks acting as loan agents were not issued from the United States Treas ury until March 26, but in the first three weeks of April the subscriptions averaged more than TEN MILLIONS A WEEK. Subscriptions will be received by the First National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa. Second National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa. Third National Bank of Philadelphia, Pa. A*D BY ILL OTHER liV\kS which are depositaries of Public money, and all RESPECTABLE BANKS AND BANKERS throughout the country, (acting as agents of the Na tional Depositary Banks,) will furnish further infor mation on application and AFFORD EVERY FACILITY TO SUBSCRIBERS.
