It is proposed to hold the Fair in Philadelphia, in the FIRST WEEK IN .TUNE NEXT, and it is con fidently expected that the contributions coming from a popula ion so benevolent and patriotic as that which inhabits the Central States, and repre senting the most important and varied branches of industry and art, will secure a result in aid oi the funds of the Commission, and for tho benefit of the Soldier, at least eqnal to that which has at tended sin ilar undertakings in other cities. It is not necessary to say a word to stimulate sym pathy: for. the soldier. We feel for them all as brelhren, and the popular heart seeks only the best mode ,of manifesting that sympathy in the most efficient end practical way. These fairs in other places have been productive of great results. By this means Chicago has recently raised for this object 860,000, Boston 8150,000. and Cincinnati more thf.n 8200, (KHL We appeal, then, with the greatest confidence to the inhabitants of the Cen tral States, especially to those who constitute the great industrial classes, to send as contributions the productions of their skill and workmanship. We appeal to them in the interest of no party, radical or conservative, Republican or Democratic, Administration or anti-Administration. We know only this, that to send our national soldiers in the field supplies to supplement those Goverment un denakes to give them, but which they sometimes fail to receive, and thus to relieve them when sick and in misery, is a work of Christian charity, and that it is a work of intelligent patriotism also, as economizing their life, hehlth and efficiency, on which, under God, the nation depends in this its time ot trouble. We therefore ask every clergyman to announce this humane undertaking to his people, and to ad vise them to do what they can to further it. We ask the press to give it the widest publicity and the most earnest encouragement. We call on every workshop, factory and mill for a specimen of the best thing it can turnout; on every artist, great and small, for one of his creations ; on all loyal women, for the exercise of their taste and indus try ; on farmere, for the products of their fields and dairies. The miner, the naturalist, the man of science, the traveler, can each send something that can at the very least be converted into a blanket that wiU warm, and may save from death, some one soldier whom government supplies have failed to reach. Every one who can produce any hing that has money value is inTiled to given sample of his best work as an offering to the cause of national unity. Every workingman, mechanic or farmer, who can make a pair of shoes or raiie a barrel ol apples, Is called on to contribute some thing that can be turned, into money, and again from money Into the means of economizing the health and the life of our national soldiers. Committees have been appointed in each depart ment of industry and art, whose business it will he to solicit contributions for - the Fair, each in its own special branch. 7 hese Committees will place themselves in eommuniaation with those persons who may wish to aid us. In the meantime It Is recommended thatiocal committees or associations should be formed in every portion of Pennsylva nia, Delaware and New Jersey, with a view ol organising -the industry of their respective neigh borhoods, so as to secure contributions for the Fair. Committees of Ladies have also been organized to co operate with those of the gentlemen in soli citing contributions. A list of all these Committees will be shortly published and distributed. In the meantime those who'are disposed to aid us, or who may desire any further information on the subject, are requested to address CHARLES J.
