This Association has for its object to relieve the sufferings ot the people of East Tennessee, the only portion of the South which has preserved unshaken its fidelity to the Flag of the United States. When the question pf secession was presented to the people, in February, 1861, East Tennessee gave a majority against it. In Sevier county, out of a voting population of 1, 457, only one vote was polled for secession. At this moment there are, in the Federal uniform, from the county of Roane, more men in arms than there were voters in iB6O. The young men of East Tennessee are now fight ing for t} K eir country and cur country. The old men, .women, and children, whether wi\hin the Federal or the rebelling, are naked, destitute,and almost starving,the contending armies having four times passed over their unhappy country, leaving devastation in their track. Members of the Committee, and others, who may be willing to collect funds, are respectfully requested to call upon the Secretary, No. 215 South Fifth street, and procure subscrip tion, books numbered and signed by the Secretary.

Rebvctios or Ward Bounties About two months since, when, there was every appear ance of a draft being necessary to till the quota of the city; meetings were held in IVards, ami it was agreed to offer a bOuafyltT addition to tbafCßfiered by the city. There was jftTßniformity about the matter,however. Some Wards offered $lOO, others $75, and the re mjpuijer $5O. Competition was, therefore, very great, and, of course, those who offered the largest bounty obtained the greatest num ber of men. In some of the Wards, occupied pincipally by the working classes, but small amounts of money could be collected, and thus but very few men could bo had. In other Wards the action taken was very hasty, and it was soon found that too large a sum had been offered—in fact more than was warranted by the collections. Many men have . left the city without receiving any of the Ward bounty promised them. As matters stand it was considered that injustice was being done to the poorer'Wards, and two meetings of re presentatives from the Ward Bounty Fund Committees have been held. The proceedings of last evening will be found on the inside of to-day’s Bulletin. During the discussions which occurred at the meetings, it seemed to be the general impression that there was more dif ficulty in getting money than ever, and last week it was recommended that the bounty in each ward should be $5O. The call'of Febru ary Ist for troops, throws an additional burden upon the wardp, and at the meeting last evening it was argued that men from the country were attracted here by the large city bounty, aad cared nothing ilbout the Ward bounty. A pro position to dispense with the Ward bounty al together was- very strongly&urged by Col. Win. Bradford, Wtu. D. Leins’, Esq. and others. The proposition was finally rejected, and it was agreed ihaCtli'e ward bounties should be reduced to $25, on or after the 4th instant. Church Home for Cuilurkx The eighth anniversary of this institution was celebrated yesterday. The children were reported to be in an exceedingly-healthy condition, and during the past eight years not a death has occurred in the Home. There are now fifty children under the care of the Managers. The treasury is in a good condition, having a balance on hand at the present date. The wants of the children, during the present year, will require, however, the liberal contributions of the benevolent. The Home is entirely out of debt, the remaining in debtedness on the building having been can celed since last report. During the year, the improvement of the children in their studies has been a source of gratification to the Mana gers. The following persons were elected officers: „ Direeiressop—Mrs- F. E.

Addresses were delivered by Theodore Cuyler, A. B. Sloanaker, Dr. Heritage, Capt. Lehman, and others. Block Committees were appointed, and other arrangements made to obtain the quota for the ward without a resort to the draft. About seven hundred dollars were Contributed on the spot in furtherance of the object; of the meeting. First Ward.— An effort is now being made in the First Ward to supply the volunteers needed to save the Ward from the draft, and it is entitled to the earnest aid of every citizen of that section of the city. We believe the quota of tlio Ward is about eight hundred men. With proper etiort the bounty money may be raised, and the men secured. It is easier to get the men than the money, and every citizen who desires to be free from the annovance occa sioned by the draft should hand in his sub scription without delay.
