over. ’ ’ The Congress has apoited a remedy for
this perilonspleihora, “short, chirp and decisive, ’'
and a collapse is to succeed, which wiil be sudden
enough lor the financial healththe country.
* ‘Yet,” says a Georgia cotemporary, “the medi
cine will cure, if the patient bus a good constitu
tion. Thirty or forty days will suffice for the
diagnosis and ihe treaurient: ”
The Regxsfcr advises the farmers, that ‘ the re
cent military excitement and suspension of transit
oh the Mobile and Ohio Railroad’' has created a
scarcity in the city of butter. €«rgs, chickens and
farm produce generally, and that there is a good
market for good things in Mobile,
i The theatre is in successful operation. On the

THE GREAT
CEKTBAL FAIR,
for the
Sanitary Commission.
Philadelphia, 1307 Ohestnnt Street
February 20,1864.
The undersigned, ■ members of tn* E*<*cu-ive
of the GREAT CENTRAL FAIR for
the Sanitary Comtfflbsk , n, beg to invite ibneo-ope
ration of all their fellow-citizens, especially of
those resident in Pennsylvania, Delaware aud
New Jersey, in this important enterprise. It is
proposed to oold the Fair in Philadelphia, in tbs
FIRST WEEK IN JUNE NEXT, and it is con
iltientiv expected that the comributi ns . coming
■from a popula ion so benevolent and patriotic as
that which inhabits the Central States, and repre
senting the raos* important and varied branches of
industry UDd art, will secure a result in aid ol the
fnucs of the Commission.' and for the benefit of
the Soldier, it least equal to that which has at
tended sin ilar undertakings is other-cities. It
is not necessary to say a word to stimulate sym
pathy for the soiiier. We feel for them all as
brethren, and the popular heart seeks «321 y 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 hits* recently raised for this
oe tv.t 5»uO,L*GO, Boston S’5u,UGO, and’ Cincinnati
more tli n S*2oo,of;o. We appeal, then, with the
gi* ai‘>st confidence to the inhabitants of the Cen
tral States, especially to those who constitute the
great industrial classes, to send as contribution
the productions or their skili and workmanship.
We appeal to them in the interest of no piny,
radical or conservative, Republican or
Administration or anu- Administration. We know
only that to send our national soldiers in the
field supplies to supplement those Goverment un
dertakes to give them, but which they sometimes
fail to receive, and thus to relieve tnem waen sick
and in misery, is a work of Christian charity, and
that it is a work of intelligent patriotism also, as
economizing their life, health and efficiency, on
which, under God, the nation depends in this its
time ol trouble.
We therefore ask every, clergyman to announce
thh. humane undertaking to his people, and to ad
vise them to dc. 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 turn out: on every artist, great
and small, for oise of his creations; on all loyal
women, for the exercise of their taste and indus?
t; y ; on fanners, for the. products of their fields
m.O dairies. The miner, the naturalist, the man.
ci science, the traveler, can each send something
that can r-.t the very least be converted into a
blanket that will warm, ana may save from death,
some one soldier whom government supplies have
failed to reach. Every one who can produce any
thing that has money value is invited to give a
sample of his best work as au tho cause
of national unity. Every workingman, mechanic
or fanner, who can make a pair of shoes or raise a
baneiof apples, is called on to contribute some
thing that can be turned in‘o money, and again,
from money into the means of economizing the
heaUh and the life of our national soldiers.'
Committees have been appointed i;. each depart
ment of industry at d art, whose ousiness it will
be to solicit contributions for the Fair, each in Us
own special branch. ‘I hese Committees will place
iheiQselY^sin communi station with those persons
who may wish to aid us. In’tfce meantime-it ia
recommended thatlccal committees or associations
should be formed in every -pGition of Pennsylva
nia, Delaware and New Jersey, will a view of
organizing the industry of their respective neigh
borhoods, so as to secure contributions for the
Fair. «
Committees of L3dies have also been organized
to eo operate with those of the gentlemen in soli
citing contributions.
A list of rill these Committees will be shortly
pubhshefl. and distributed- luthe meantime those
who are disposed to aid ns, or who may desire any
farther information on the subject, are requested
to address CHAKLES J. STILLE, Corresponding
Secretary t f the Executive Committee of the Great
