THE GREAT FAIR.
A general desire Eeems to be awakening through
Pennsylvania, as well as in some parts of New
Jersey and Delaware, that a fair should be hel :
here on a large and effective scale lor the benefit of
the United States Sanitary Commistion. We feel
sure that Pennsylvania will be in no degree behind
her sister States of the North and West, in the en
ergy and liberality with which she would carry
out such an undertaking. Philadelphia has pro
tably dme more than any other city in the Union
for our soldiers; but the Stata of Pennsylvania
has done less in proportion to h*r size. Such a
fair as the one proposed, would give us an oppor
tunity to stand foremost in relieving the wants of
# onr suffering soldiers, as well as foremost in par
ting troops in the field, as we most certainly have
been. It would not be necessary to -beg contribu
tions for snc£»an end. Counties would vie with
each other in holy emulation—towns 'would thrive
to ont-do each other, in the variety and extent ot
their cci-tnbations-men, women and children
’ would a'l have something to send. All that is ne
cessary is that i 1 shall be Known that a fair is to be
held for such a purpose, or a gigantic scale-a fair
■which shall be as if- were a grand and worthy ex
position of all the resources ot the State; andevery
loyal working-mar—every irdividual-who can
produce erprocnreanythingthat has money value
from a bushel of potatoes or a pair of socks up to
pianos and steam engines, wou id send his and her
offering to shew their synipai by with and appre
ciation of this great organization, which has 4 ‘ex -
tended its giant arms over the whole country, ant
embraced within its-charities every hospital and
every battle-field. ”
The first conception and execution of a Fair on
such an immense scale, belongs without question
;’to the people of. Chicago; amongiwhom two ladies
■of high cultivation, of devoted loyalty, and of
indomitsbleenergy, stand nobly conspicuous; and
the result of the;r exertions furnishes a standing
proof of the vast amount of good which may ha ef
ec'ed by a iewrwell qualified and thoroughly
< evoted.persons. One of these ladies, with whom
t was lately our privilege to be'associated for a
ime, favored us with various interesting details
sto their maimer of working, which we would
e glad if every svoman in Pennsylvania could
hear. One little incident will show
woman can do in a short time, when her heart i<
n her work.
A lady in Chicago wrote to a friend in Pittsburgh,
“Oux great Faiiuwili.be held here in three weeks
What can you do for us in Pittsburgh ?” Th*»
lady replied tbat she would do all that she could •
and so effectual were her exertions, that in les*
than the tithe prescribed, she and her friends for
wardedto Qhicngo, two freight cars of twenty tons
each, packed with goods of every description :
Fine cut glass and chftia, dry goods, plated ware,
woolen work, knit aud woven, and countless
other articles, contributed as from all
kinds and classes of-people.. The articles given,
varied in size and value from a pin cushion up to
a steel breach loading cannon, and “the largest
sheet of iron*’ever rolled in tbe world.” Tnese
'"latter articles were of course not included in th *
. two car-loads, but were sent on trucks, separately.
We fine- in the Sanitary Commission Bit Ictm the
following written account of the Fair:
THKGBEAT NORTHWESTERN. SANITARY PAIR.
Some hundred thousand people of the great
Northwest have just been drawn together atCht
. cagobj a Fair, under the immediate auspices of
the “Chicagoßranch of the U. S. Sanita y Com
mis-ion.” Ithasbeen glorious!—this great tide
not of people only or chiefly, but of sympathy and
of thought and of feeling, which has rolled in
. from hundreds of miles over those wide prairies,
and along the foot of the distant hills! To one
who stood there, looking on, it came like a great
whelming torrent of love and power, aadsolamn
earnestness, which was irresistible, carrying
everything before it. All win were present unite
in saying that they never before realized so fully
the consciousness and the exhilarating and invigo
rating effect of breathing, as it were, an atmos
phere which was riterally filled with geuerous
emotions and moral harnestness, and where every
•other element was absorbed or neutralized.
So qnictly had the whole affair been arranged,
aud with such excellent method conducted, that
when this immense coucourse of people poured in
from Illinois and Indiana, from Michigan and
Missouri, from Wisconsin and lowa, bearingtheir
gifts with ibem, it seemed as if some sudden and
mysterious impulse had taken hold of one-quarter
of the whole nation, who had suddenly spruag to
their feet, seized whatever goods or riches were
nearest at hand, and rushed forth led by music
and banners; andwhen, at last, from all quarters
they frcdmei at the gathering place, to which they
had been instinctively drawn in their hurried
march, they had, as by common consent, or a certain
divine impulse, wi r hout asking why, laid down
their treasures, simply feeimg that God’s altar
needed these for burnt-offering—so generous, and
earnest, and full of a certain kind of contagious
i&itn .seemed these men and. women who were
gathered there; and that was ju*t the se.eret of the
whole, which made it all so real to every one who
was present, while to those who were not there,
dhe narration of the facts muneeds seemexiw ’-e-
Tatedand uereal; it was th s irresistible evideu ld
told by eye, and step, and tongue, and haud—> vi
deuce of an immense faith—immense as taken in
the mass—faith in God, faith in the nation’s life,
faith in our armies, faitn in our leaders, faituin
«ur people at home.
The contributions to the Fair, to be sold for the
benefit of our sick and wounded soldiers, were
large, were munificent, but it was this tone of
deep-seated earnestness whiqjr was largest. It
was not merely vfrhat men and women said and
did, buttho way the thing was done, which pr
ided wUh it this impression of wholesale genero
sity of spirit: Delicately wrought articles, such
as usually adorn the tables of Fairs, the work of
ladies bands, were net wanting; but then the
farmers from miles and miles around kept coming
in with their wagons by twenties, and fifties, and
hundrecs, loaded down with ,their bulky farm
produce; otbeis came leading horses, or driv
ing before cows, or oxen, or. mule 3,
which they contiibuted instead of money,
of which, perhaps, they had none; others
brought live ponltry which had been fed for
months by the poor man’s door: they brought this
because they must bring something, and this was
all they had. Some wagons were loaded from ricn
caines. with hatter and cheese by the ton. Then
(ame great loads of hay from some distant farm,
flowed by others just as large from farms farther
cff. The mechanics brought theif machines, and
gave them in, one after another; mo wing machines
reapers, threshing machines, planters, pumW
fanning-mills -until a new building, a great store
house, had to he erected to receive them; and here
were ploughs, and stoves, and furnaces, and mill
smnes, and nails by the hundred kegs, and wa
gons, and carriage springs-and axes, and plate
glass, and huge plates of wrought iron (on- .he
largest that was ever rolled from any rolli'-ie-mill
in the world), block tin and enameled leather, •
hides, boxes of stationery, and cases of boots, co
logne by the barrel, native wine in casks, purified
coal-oil by the thousand gallons—a mountain

joiners, who, in the press of work upon unfinished
buildings, could not leave their hammer and saw
to go to the Fair, joined together by tens and twen
ties, and set apart a day of which they would give
toeir earnings to the soldiers. In like manner,
nr f £ ms w 2S ld advertise a sale for the bene
fit of the Fair. Thus, “To the Loyal Stone Ma-
Chicago:” ”We propose ?o the
North western Sanitary Fair the entire proceeds of
the sale of one canal-boat load (20 toils) of our il-at
class rubble stone. Bids for the same will here
cerred at onr office till Friday next ”

yon seem to have quite a load #ere of vegetables;
now I am curious to know what good things you
are-bringing to the soidiers: will you tell me what
you have?” “ Yes, ” said he, “here are DOta
toes, and here are three bags of onions, and'there
are some ruta baga, and there a few turnips, and
that is a small bag of meaJ, and you can. see the
cabbages fill'Jn; and that box - with slats has some
docks in it, which one of them brought in’.”
“Oh! then, this isn’t all your load alone,
is it?” “Why no! onr region just where
I live .is rather a hard soil, and-we haven’t
any of ns much to spare any way, yet fox?
this business we could have rajted up as much
again as this is, if we had had time; but we didn't
getthe notice that the .wagons, were goiug in till:
labt night about eight o’ clock, and it was dark and ’
raining at that,’so I and my wife and the girls
could only go round to five or six ot the neighbors
within a mile or so, hut we did the best we could;
we worked pretty much all the night and loaded,
so as .to be ready to get out to the main road and
start with the rest of them this mornmg; but I
can’ t help it if it is little, it’s tome’hing for tho*e
soldiers.” “Have you *a son in the army?’’
“Not*? he answered slowly, after turning round
and looking at his wife. “No,. I haven’tnw,
but we had one there once; he’s buried*
down by Stone River; lie was shot there j
—and that isn’t just so e.ther—we called him our
boy*-but he was only onr adopted son’; we took
him when he was little, so he was just the same as
ourownboyj” (pointing over his ehoulder with
out looking back) wife there with thp
baby! But I shouldn’t bring these things any
quicker if he were alive now and in the army;. I
don’t know that I should think so much as I do
nowabout the boys away off there.” It was i \
tunrfor h»s wagon to unload, so with his rough
fieight of produce, and his rich freight of hurma
hearts with their deep and treasured gifts, he drove
on—one wagon of a hundred in the train.’
As a proof of the interest felt by the people of
CbicTgo in this Sanitary Fair, it may be mentioned
that\on the day the Fair opened, October ‘J7th, the
several courts of the citv adjourned over toe day,
the post-oflice was closed, the Board of Trade ad
ourned, the public schools were not opened, ihe
banks of the city closed, business of all kind- 5 ,
whether in the offices, stores, shops, or manufac
'ories, was suspended.
Cannot we do as much in Pennsylvania? We
have the means and we have the patriotism—snre
iy, the energy will not be lacking. Let the womm
of our Shite try in/generous rivalry to outdo even
’heir sisters of Chicago. We commend the under
taking to the public, and ask for it the assistance
of all classes, •■“Manufacturing, Agricultural,
Commercial, Literary, Artisiic” —“the gojd, the
rich, the well-to-do—those in humble life, the
fashionable,” . the . clergy, the ineeeauics, ths
Board of Trade, the Com Exchange, the Coal
Dealers, the Fire Department, the Contractors,
the politicians, professional men, hotel hud res
taurant keepers, the Police—“of every man and
woman.who would lessen the privation, relieve
the pain, and save the lives of those who are
figbiing the battles ol our country. ’ ’
