fugitive, who, grasping . his hand, ex
claimed :
"Oh! how shall I ever be able to thank
you Mr. Bradley?"
f This is no time for thanks, Mr. Peters,
unless it ia to the Lord; you must fly the
country, and that at once!"
"But my wife and children?"
"Mattie aud I will attend to them.
But you must go to-night!"
"To-night !"
"Yes. Iu the morning, if not sooner,
they will return with a large force and
carry you off, aud probably hang you on

"But how?"
''Mattie will conduct you to the ren

jnadc up who intend to cross the moun

They have provisions for the journey,
and will gladly share with you."
At this moment a young girl entered
the shop and hurriedly said :
"Father, what is the trouble to-night ?"
Her eye resting upon the fugitive, she
approached him, and, iu a sympathizing

As 3fattie stood gazing at the pools of
blood, a wagon, containing two persons,
drove up, one of whom an athelctic young
man of live and twenty years, got out and
entered the shop.
"Good evening, Mattie! Where is
your father?" he said. Then observing
the strange demeanor ot the girl, he con-
tinued, "Why, Mattie,-what ails you?

"If my adherence to the Union merits

proud of it. I have been for the Union,
and will be for the Union as long as life

At these words the chairman clutched
a pistol that lay upon the table before
him, and the bright blade of Simpson's
bowie-knife glittered near Bradley's
breast ; but before he could make the fa
tal plunge a swift-winged messenger of
death laid him dead at the foot of his in

another plunged into the heart of, the
chairman andhe fell forward over the ta
ble, exhausting the light and leaving all
in darkness. Confusion reigned. Ihe
inmates of the room were panic-stricken.

hand rested upon Bradley's shoulder; his
bonds were severed, and he was hurried
out of the open window. lie was again
a free man, but was hastened forward in

smith made one of the party at the ren

the hand of his rescuer, while his eyes

SAMTARY COMMISSSOiV.
Ofpice of the Committee on Labor,
Income and Revenues,
No. 118 South Seventh Street,
Philadelphia, AritiL 4th, 1S6L
The Committee on "Labor, Incomes
and Revenues,"- invite co-operation with
them iu the particular work for which
they have been appointed. As no por
tion of the people arc more patriotic than
the working men and women of the coun
try, it is but just and proper that they
should alike have au opportuuity to con
tribute to the objects of the" Pair. The ,
most amiable nlan 'for aceomnlishin?? this. I
r r-. o ,
and, at the same time the easiest one, is
to ask for the contribution of a single
day's labor from all classes in the commu
nity. Many will contribute a day of
their labor willingly, who would not sub
scribe their money. To reach every de
partment of industry and art Avill- be a
work of great labor, but, if attained, will
be productive of immense results.
The success of the plan will depend
upon the hearty co-operation of every el-
ement or inuuence witmu our limits, ana
we invite all the guardians of the indus
trial interest, and all others, to take hold
with us in furthering this great work of
patriotism and humanity.
The Committee is charged with the
following duty, to wit:
1. To obtain the contribution of "one
day's labor," or earnings, from every ar
tisan aud laborer, foreman, operative and
emploee; president, cashier, teller and
clerk of every incorporated and unincor
porated company, railroad and express
company, employing firm, bank, manu
factory, iron works, oil works, mill, mine
and public office; from every "private
banker aud broker, importer, auctioneer
and merchant; clerk, agent and salesman;
designer, finisher aud artist; publisher,
printer and mechanic; from every gov
ernment officer, contractor and employee ;
grocer, butcher, baker and dealer; farm
er, horticulturist and producer; from ev
ery mantua maker, milliner aud female
operative: every individual engaged iu
turning the soil, tcuding the loom, or in
any way earning a livelihood, or building
a fortune within the States of Pennsylva
nia. New Jersey and Delaware.
2. To obtain the contribution of one
day's "Revenue," from all the great cm
ploying establishments, firms, corpora
tions, companies, railroads and works.
8. To, obtain the contribution of one
day's income from every retired person,
aud person of fortune male aud female
living upon their means, and from all
clergymen, lawyers, physicians, dentists,
editors, authors and professors; all other
persons engaged in the learned or other
professions.
Much of this work must be performed
by the personal influence and efforts of
ladies and gentlemen associated or to be
associated vith the Committee iu carry
ing out this plan.
The Committee feel the responsibility
of the work they have undertaken, which,
to be successful, will require a very per
fect ramification of their plan, and they
therefore call upon all earnest people, to
assemble themselves together in every
town, township, aud county, and form
organizations of ladies and gentlemen to
co-operate with them in this great work
and labor of love. In the manufactur
ing counties, the coal and oil regions,
and iu the agricultural districts, -especially,
let there be organizations in the
large towns, so that the young people
may have an opportunity thus to render
assistance to their relatives and friends
fighting the battles of their county in the
armies of the nation.
The work of this Committee may be
prosecuted where no other effort can 'be
made for the Pair, as in the minxjs of the
coal regions. A day's earnings ot tne
minersand a day's product of the mines,
can be obtained, where no portable arti
cle could be procured for transportation.
Indeed there is no part or section of these
States where the day's labor may not bo
obtained if organizations can be formed
to reach them.
The Committee cannot close without
urging upon all Proprietors of Establish
ments, the duty of taking prompt and en
ergetic action to secure the benefit of the
day of labor from all within their con
trol. The Committee deem it unnecessary
to do more, than thus to present the sub
ject to the people of the three States
named. In the coming campaigns of our
armies, the labors of the "Sanitary Com
mission" will be greatly augmented. By
the .first of June 700,000 men one of
the largest armies of modern times will
be operating in the field. So large a
force, scattered over regions to which the
men are unacclimatcd, must necessarily
carry "along with it a largo amount of
sickness, suffering aud death, to say noth
ing of the gathered horrors of the batttle-
field. . ,ii
These sufferings, it is our bounden du
ty, as men and Christians, to relievo. A
great and enlightened people, enjoying
the blessings of a government of their
own making, cannot refuse assistauco to
man suffering to maintain its authority,
aud we will not believe that the "great
central fair," drawing its products
from the three States of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Delaware, so affluent 111
all mineral, agricultural and industrial
wealth, shall fall behind any similar cf-
I fort which has yet been made for the re
lict ot the Nation s children
I As it is desirabfe not to multiply circu
. Iars; no further authority than this cir
, cular will be necessary for any cinploy
, ing firm or company, or any respectable
I committee of ladies and gentlemen, to
! proceed at once, iu the work of this com
, mittee; and it is hoped that under it, or
ganizations will spring up in all the
towns and busy regions of the States of
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Dela
ware. Subscriptions will be thankfully ac
knowledged in the newspapers of Phila
delphia; and it is very desirable that
they commence soon, as each fresh .ac
knowledgment will stimulate effort iu
, other localities.

COMMITTEE FOR A DAY'S LABOR.
Great Central Sanitary Fair!
Committee on Labor Incomes and Revenues.
Office No. US S. Seventh St.
JOHN VV. CLAGHORN, Treasurer.
This Committee has a special work, to
wit: to obtain a day's "labor," a day's "in
come," and a dav's "revenue," from every
citizen of the three States of Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and Delaware, for the benefit
of our sick and wounded soldiers.
The Committee is now fully organized at
the above address, and calls for the co-operation
of all classes in the community.
VVe want to show what the industrial
classes can do for their soldiers !
What the people can do in their separate
trades !
What Pennsylvania can do !
What New Jersey can do !
What Delaware can do!
What each county can do !
AVhat each city and town can do!
What each profession can do I
What each trade can do!
What each occupation can do!
What each manufactory can do!
What each bank, insurance company and
railroad can do !
What each mine can do! .
What each work-shop can do! .;
What each family can do ! '
What each man can do!
What each woman can do !
What each boy and girl can doJ
We want to show the world what Amer
ican freemen arc feacly to do for their sol
diers! This is a great work and the time short.
The way to do so is to ORGANIZE !
Organize in your workshops in your
families. .
Let the men organize. ?
Let the women organize
Let the trades organize.
Organize everywhere.
T.o.t. the woikmen crive with their employ
ers, the employers with their workmen.
It is easily done. If the workmen will
authorize thejr employers to deduct one day
from their week's or month's earnings, and
the employers will aild to it a day of their
i profits, the whole sum will be acknowledged
together, to the credit of the establishment.
We say to all, go to work at once with us
in this great work. Hurry forward your
contributions. Every acknowledgment will
stimulate others to follow your example.
Circulars with full instructions will be
sent upon application, by mail or otherwise,
to the undersigned. To work! to work!
