HOLSTEUPS LETTER TO CHILDREN. The following letter to children, from Mrs. Holstein, was prepared for a school; bat wa have obtained permission (by her) to make use of it in these columns. If each of our auxiliary societies will hand over their copy to some school in ; their neighborhood, it may be that the children will be incited by it to emulate the Pottsville schools, the children of which have sent numerous boxes through our Branch of the Commission, to our suffering soldiers. Ii we could but remember that whoever has the means of sending the value of a pair of flannel drawers, or a flannel shirt, or a blanket, may save a soldier’s life to his friends and his coun try, I aui sure that no one would rest until he or she had contributed that much to the cause. Will not the readers of this paper every where, place a copy of this number in the hands of some good, loyal school teacher, who will be sure to regard the request that this letter be read aloud to their scholars. Beidgepoet, Feb. 27,1851. —Dear Children: Having spent almost two years in the different “Field Hospitals” of our army, I feel the deepest interest in all that pertains to them, and as I cannot have the pleasure of talking to you, I may possibly be able to give you some idea of how much good your hands can do for our soldiers, wounded, “and sick unto death,” lying in far-off lonely hospitals, where a child’s gift, trifling as it may seem, is appreciated and valued far more than you can imagine. 1 have often seen men, whom we thought top m to notice anything, langh and shout over some puzzle or game,'which a child bad sent, and which served- for the time to divert the - mind from their own sufferings. All of you who can sew, can make pads, and the simple slip pers, such as are worn in hospitals ; or you can hem handkerchiefs or towels, and arrange the old linen or muslin into convenient pack ages, ready for use; all, even the smallest among you, can put together pieces of calico, or other material, in any form you fancy, and when made into squares, hand them over to the ladies of your Army Aid Society, who will gladly receive them from you, for the purpose of making the light summer spreads which are of so much value after a battle iu intensely warm weather, when the soldier’s ordinary covering, the army blanket, becomes unbeara ble to mangled, aching limbs. This is the reason why I urge you to do this work now; but here let me say, I have very rarely, so seldom indeed, that I could number the times I ever heard our brave Union sol diers complaining, or bear impatiently their wounds; on the contrary, they endure suffering with a heroism which exceeds even the bravery of the battle-field. This recalls to mind a boy of only seventeen summers, the son of a cler gyman in Maine, who told me with a feeling of evident pride, that his right leg was left upon Seminary Hill, Gettysburg, that the stump was doing badly, hut that he had no fear, nor re gret, let the result be as it might. A few days more of gentle endurance and the presentiment of the child, whom we had so tenderly cared for, proved true, and with murmured words of “home” and “heaven,” his young life ebbed away. Another added to the many thousands given for the “life of the nation.” One week after his burial, his father came, with a heart saddened with this great sorrow, and with brimming eyes, told me . that his. eldest had fallen at Malvern Hill, another at Gettysburg, and hi 3. third was then with the army at Fer nandina; they were his treasures, but he gave them freely for his country. Another, an only child of a widowed mother, lay from July until October, calmly bearing untold agony, from a wound which he certainly knew must result in death, yet his one anxious thought, constantly expressed, was, “ Mother, do not grieve, it is best, and right, bury me with my comrades on the field.” So at sun rise, one bright autumn morning, bis soul went up to God. The casket which had held it, we laid to rest, among the nation’s honored dead, in Gettysburg Cemetery. One among the many cases of interest in the General hospital was a man from Western Pennsylvania, whom his friends mourned as dead; whose funeral sermon had been preached and his name on the rolls marked, “ killed in battle,” in one of the many desperate charges during those memorable July days. His cap tain and friends saw him fail, the blood dash ing upon the man next him, and life to all ap pearance gone. But it was not so, the bullet in its course went crashing through both eyes, but sparing life, though for the time uncon scious with the inflammation which followed, his brain became affected and he. could give no history of himself; but, when hungry would call “ Mother;” and talk to her constantly, first about his food, then of home concerns. I have heard him in these sad wanderings, when he would ask, “ What do the girls say about me, now that I have gone to war ? Hoes Jennie miss me? and so on. His father at length heard of him and came from his western home, to recognize in the blind, deranged man, his handsome, brave boy. Eventually, his mind would be restored, but his sight never. In this state his father took him home to the mother he talked of so much. 1 could give numberless sketches of this you. In years to come, when your children are grown up, and these times are woven into the history of the nation, perhaps some of your young friends may ask, What did your children do in the time of the rebellion? Would you not exultmgly reply, ‘-Wedid aU in our power, our fingers aided to make pads, quilts, &c. and we founded ‘Alert Clubs 3 for the purpose of raising funds for the ladies 3 society to invest tor us. I must tell you what an Alert Club is. It is an organization lor the purpose of receiv xng contributions of any amount weekly, from ail who are willing to assist in keeping it up. lou hand the sum collected every month to the ladies of your society, to be used in the purchase of material, &c., which older persons can make up In this way your offerings sent through the Sanitary Commission will reach the suffering soldiers, who will bless the little hands which have contributed to' their comfort. Hoping, dear children, that your warm hearts need not these few lines from me to incite you to more earnestness in working for those “who ~^ m A. M.

STATIONS have been multiplied, each with-Ue chapel and store tents, free writing tables, and clothing, comforts and reading matter for gra tuitous distribution. 8 \ OLUNTARY DELEGATEES, in numbers greater than ever before, have been sent to preach the Gospel at the stations and in regiments, bat teries and camps without Chaplains, distribute reading matter and stores, and labor for the good of the Soldiers. A PERMANENT FIELD AGENCY has been sufficiently extended to establish stations and superintend the work. -*■ THE BLESSING- OF GOD rests signally on all parts of the work. Many thousands have been cheered, benefited and saved. Still a large part of the Army remains onreached, and double the number, both of stations and delegates, are needed to meet the urgent demand for them. The Christian Uommisslon offers to the people a perfectly reliable and wonderfully economical channel to reaeh the entire army in all its various fields. The money given goes in full measure, in benefits for body and soul, directly to the Soldiers and stores also, immediately from the hands of delegates from home, who add words and deeds of kit dness to the gifts when bestowed. Let the people give the Money and Stores, and the work will be done. . • TheJarge corps of Delegates now in the field will serve as a grand corps of relief when the armies.shall move and battles be fought, and the greater their number the more prompt and effec tive will be the relief they shall render. Let not the, present work languish. "Wait not for the cry ot the wonnded\ and dying before pro viding relief.
