To (7i airman of Comtnitlec of township, Dear Sir:— The I'nited States Sanitary Commis sion Fair for sick and wounded soldiers, commences at Pittsburgh, on the first day of June, ISO 4. The Press, as well in Pittsburgh its here, has so fully published the great pa- j triotic and benevolent object of the Fair, that it is deemed unnecessary to make any j • lengthy repetition of it. The subject is j one that strongly and warmly commends ! itself to the hearts of the loyal people, the | humane and patriotic every where, it is ; a great combined movement in all the great j cities of the Union, for the benefit of our j *iek and wounded soldiers; by means of * these Fairs, several millionsof dollars have 112 already been raised, besides a large quan tity of articles if provisions and clothing suitable to the wants of the Hospitals. With a view to a combined movement ■ in the county, wo have appointed com mittees in each of the townships and bor oughs, of which you are chairman for your township. You are respectfully re quested, without delay, to appoint six or more active and influential ladies and gentlemen of your township, say one half of each, a township committee, of which you will be the chairman. One from each j school district or otherwise as you may thitik best. The duties of this committee will be to solicit contributions in money, and such manufactured articles and farm products and stoc<, as well substantial, asornamen • tal, for exhibition at the fair, and such as would be useful, provisions and clothing \ , as may be eatable and worn by our sick and wounded soldiers and add to their [ .comfort. You will make report of your progress to the chairman of the Executive com- ; mittee, on or before the id ot May, and as often thereafter as convenient, the con- i tributions in money will be paid over to the Treasurer, I. J. Cummings, of this place, aud the contributions in products of the farm, and of the farmers house-hold, and by mechanics and articles to be exhibi ted and disposed of at the fair, and arti cles of ornament will be reported to the chairman. It is desirable that all articles should be marked with the name of the donor, and that the boxes containing the goods should be marked with the contents and . value ol each box. The goods so put up I and marked, should be addressed to H. C. | Heineman. aud forwarded to Butler, on j .or before the 23d of May This will ap- j ply to all the townships and boroughs north of Butler ; and as to the townships andi ioraughs south of Butler,an arrangc ij; ment will hereafter be made of which timely notice will be given. Every thing that can be eaten, worn, sold, or is curious to look at, is solicited in aid of the.cause. Money and contribu tions of all kinds from Farmers, Manufac tures, Mcrehauts, Mechanics, Milliners, &c., arc wanted. In short, every thing to make the Fair a success.

EDITORS: —Having noticed; in the columns of the Herald, " a wail of j woe," concerning the failure of that pa-1 ! per to reach Jaeksville Post Office, indue j time, and throwing out insinuations inju- j rious towards the Post Master in your town, and attempting to lay the blame on him, because he held opinions different from some others in regard to politics.— NQW, as the case stands at present, I know to a certainty, that since the first issue of the Citizen, it has failed (at least once) oftener than the Herald. Now, who is to blame for this? If we only had a Dem ocratic Post Master some place, to lay the blame on, then it would be all right. As it is, we don't know who is to blame.— Neither the Citizen nor the American, i reached our office the last week. Any in- j I formation concerning these delays will, | I presume, be thankfully receiv e#by the j ' j readers of the Citizen, and also, of the j Herald, except such as wish to find fault ' with others, simply because tHBy do not | think as they do.

Vernon, where repose the mortal remains iof the immortal Washington. What a j ; noble spectacle did she then present to the world!* Encircled by the respect of her ! sister States she sat as a stately Queen | amongst.them. But alas! how changed the spectacle now! What n woful picture docs she j present to the world to-day? Where now j is the prestige of the name Virginia ? llcr territory resounds with the tread of j hostile armies ; her farms and gardens are i waste; her houses and villages are de [ sertcd and desolate ; blackened ruins mark the spot of many a habitation and where once the thriving village stood, there is I m ne to tell yon even " 1 Ilium fuit." The statin ping of the Cavalier's horse is heard in the palaces of the once lordly Yfl'gin ian, and the hoarse braying of the mule resounds through the hails of her courts. Ilcr rivers are reddened with the blood of j patriots, slain by the hands of her own J degenerate sons ; and on every mountain \ top, plain, hill side, and valley, may be j seen the lowly mound—the soldiers grave. J Who can contemplate her prcsentlallen position without a feeling of sorrow; yes, j who can look upon the noble motto adopt- I ed in the war of the Revolution. Young ! Freedom treading upon the neck of a ; prostrate tyrant—the fallen crown—the j broken chain—the noble " Sic Semper | Tyrannis." I ask who can gaze upon this motto, and not feel a throb of pity fur the abasement of our sister State? But yes terday her name was a prestige of strength; now, '• none so poor as to do her rever ence." Dark indeed was the day she cast her fortunes with the mad advocates of Secession ; bitter was the cup she that ' day took to her lij s, the dregs of which j she is now draining. But as wo look backward through the \ gloom and darkness that now enshroud he; ,we c. lie brightness of a day gone •| by, an i ywe not hope that beyond ; i tho gkk >< and da-kness of the present, ] ! there is a brighter day for Virginia ? That j she will again array herself in loyal robes, 1 i and seat herself-—a repen.ant sister—in j j the great sisterhood of States'; that she will return purified by tho great tribula- i tion through which she has passed, and j again make herself worthy to contain the j sacred ashes that slumber in her soil ? But whatever may be the future of | I Virginia, she can never erase the present ! dark spot from the page of her history.— ! j She-may eclipse her former splendor in : the greatness of her sons—but that one > dark spot! Oh that page written in a na ' tions best blood will forever remain. Ages hence, the traveler on Bull Run's event- i ; ful field, will be told by the lips of lisp- i ing youth of the fearful struggle between patriotism and treason; long as the Rap- 112 pahaunock rolls its waters to the Bay, on its banks will be told the tale of Freder icksburg and C'hnucellorsville; aud white ' tho Peuinsula is laved by the waters of I the \ork aud James, those terrible "sev- j en days" will not be forgotten. Until tra dition fails the human race, or history bc -1 come a lie, this period will be remember- i f\. and for at)d ago to come. Virgin- ■ ; ia will bear on her scarred brow the mon ! ument of her guilt and treason. Yours, G. A Prediction.

The following is the joint resolution as I passed : " He it resolved by the Senate and House I of Representatives of the I nited States I of America in Congress assembled, two thirds of both Houses concurring, that j the following article be proposed to ttie | Legislatures of the several States as an I amendment to the Constitution of the j I'nited States, which, when ratified by ! three-fourths of said Legislatures, shall ! be valid to all intents and purposes as a | part of the said constitution, namely : SUCTION I. — Neither slavery nor in voluntary servitude, except as a punish j ment for crime, whereof tlie party shall | have been <1 uly convicted, shall exist with- J in the United States, or any place sub ject to their jurisdiction. SECTION 2.—Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropri ate legislation. TSie Maryland Election. The result of the late election in i Maryland is a most gratifying evi- I dence of the progress of anti-slavery | sentiment in a State which, at tho I commencement of the war, was one ! of the most intensely pro-slavery in i the Union, and, we may add, almost | as disloyal as any of the Southern I States except South Carolina* The j firing upon Massachusetts troops : passing through Baltimore the burn | ing of bridges and the tearing up of j railroads to prevent Northern troops i from going to tho relief of Washing ! ton; the treasonable acts of Marshal | Kane," Ross Winans, and other leading | Baltimorcans; the attempt of the ; Maryland Legislature to take the | State out of the Union, and the rais | ing of troops to assist in establishing the Southern Confederacy, are chap ters in the history of Maryland which ! can never be forgotten. And no man at this day can have sufficient hardi j hood to deny that slavery was the J cause of the disloyal attitude of Mary- ] | land three years ago. Because of I slavery, many of her rulers and lead | ing citizens, and certainly a majority j of her wealthy class, were willing and | anxious to cast their lot with the j Southern Confederacy. But the war has changed all this. llt is, indeed, a civilizer. Omitting | her slaveholders, Maryland is to-day one of the most loyal States in the 1 Union. Winter Davis and Reverdy | Johnson and Gov. Hicks are her rep resentative men, and their voice is not only for a vigorous prosecution of | the war, but they arc earnestly in fa vor of destroying the cause of the war. | They are emancipationists of the straightest sect. And the result of their leadership-is given us in the 'overwhelming verdict of the Mary land people on Wednesday in favor | | of calling a convention to abolish sla -1 very throughout the State. All hail, ! Maryland ! We can soon class thee j and welcome thee as a free State of I the new nation.— Pitts. Gazette. fig?" Stebbins, Democratic mem ber of the Committee on ways and Means, favors large duties on foreign imports, even almost to prohibition, and an Internal Tax equal to all the demands of the Treasury for civil ex penses, and interest on the public debt. PaV It is a significant fact, and a virtu al refutation of the rebel assertion that the Wilmington blockade is not effectual, that paperl of that city of the 10th, 11th and 1 12 th ult., contain no advertisements of blockade goods for sale. l&f Frank Blair, it is said, will resign his seat in Congress on the 20th, and iui | mediately proceed to join his corps in the ■ Southwest, The name of Gettysburg:. The Washington correspondent of The Boston Advertiser says: "Gen. Meade has submitted *to theComittee on the Conduct of the War a written statement in regard to the conduct of j the battle of Gettysburg. In -thi.i ; statement he denies emphatically and explicitly that he contemplated or is sued at any time during the action an • order to retreat to Tarrytown or to any other point. After his arrival at Gettysburg he asked several corps ; commanders to act as his temporary chief of staff. All prefering to remain in command of their corps, headdress- ; ed a similar request to Gen. Butter-1 field, who consented. He directed j him immediately to collect all possi- j ble* information ril t veto the roads ! leading to the rear. He avers that in giving this instruction to Gen. Butterfield he had no thought of a re- j treat, but merely aimed at obtaining i information which any prudent Gen-1 eral would consider necessary for an | intelligent understanding of the field of action. Gen. Butterfield on the J morning of the second day drew up j an order directing all trains and bag-1 gage to be sent to the rear. This or- i der gave the occasion for the assertion i of various officers that an order to retreat had been given. Gen. Meade says that Gen. Butterfield showed him the order, that he told him it j would not answer, and that if it was ! issued it was without his authority. 1 This statement of Gen. Meade is cor-! roboratc by Gen. Gibbons and other general officers and members of his staff." ifcciitucky. Gov. Bramlette, we are happy to learn, xvill not wage war on the Union Government —at least, not at present. He was firmly assured at Washington that the Administration was perfectly willing to receive white men for the full quota of Kentucky if it should please that State to furnish them of that color. The Government asks her quota of able-bodied men; and if she chooses to send the full number of whites, it has not the smallest de sire to overrule her and insist on part black. The enrollment is by law required | to be uniform throughout the country. The name of every able-bodied man between 20 and 45 years of age must be placed on the list. The Govern ment requires each State to furnish a definite and uniform per ccptagc of the number thus returned, and gives I her-time to supply them by volunteer ing in any fashion she may prefer. If they are not duly forthcoming, they are drafted; and then those drafted, whether white or black, must furnish acceptable substitutes or go. But if the poor whites of Kentucky choose togo instead of the blacks, the Gov ernment has not a shadow of objec tion.. What, then, is the call for Wolford invectives and Bramlette journeys? If the full quota of whites are forth- | coming, there will be no draft, ami no call for negro soldiers, from Ken- ' tucky. If the whites do not volunteer, j I the government, must draft; and it j does not propose to take all white and j so exempt the blacks. But Kentucky j can do this if she will, and provide I her poor whites agree to it. What more would Gov. Bramlette have?— N. Y. Tribune. COMING EVENTS.—The visit of General Grant and Staff to Fortress I Monroe, taken in connection with the | appointment of Gen. Baldy Smith to the command of the forces in the field j in General Butler's department, is a j sure indication of serious work ia that J quarter, and may be-regarded as con clusive evidence that there is to be a combined movement against Rich mond. What Burnside is to do with I his expedition is not yet positively as ! certained, but if its destination is North Carolina, as it is rumored, the movement against Richmond be comes still more probable, and of course more formidable. If all these rumors and surmises should prove to be correct, it will be a grand sight to sec three heavy colums of troops marching from different directions against the rebel capital. Just oefore the adjournment of the Maryland Legislature, a prop osition was introduced to tax bache lors above twenty-five years of age not less than §25 a head per annum, because the war is distructive of the male population, while the number of females is greatly in excess of that of the opposite sex, and it is the duty v>f every lover of his country to prjniote ! by every means the elements that constitute her strength; said tax to be applied to the support ar.d education of the children of Maryland soldiers slain in battle. The propisition was amended by doubling the tax upon bachelors over forty-fivo years of age. Bar* A story is related of an enterpri sing editor in an interior town, who find ing tho body of a man hanging to a lamp post ooe night, after his own paper had gone to press, cut it down and carried it home, to prevent his rival from publishing the nijws—and was. himself indicted for the murder. <SaP An unpleasant development was made in Cincinnati the other day concer ning Catawba brandy.
