Nothiagatartfing uw fwcurrea since wnnng to you I the last time. 1 was in to Wash ington on Monday and expect to go in gain soon, ine boys are all gcttiug pretty sore arms as they all had to be vaccinated, but they don't need to go-out to drill unless they wisntodoso. Our camp has been greatly im proved since we came. There wa9 nothing here but briars and stubbles two feet high when we came. The Captain and a few of us were in to Falls church on Sunday evening. A very heavy shower came up and flooded some of the boys out of their tents, it was pretty tough luck, but Pennsylvania boys can stand a good bit before they complain. It is very warm down here. There are two Y. M. C. A. tents and a Salvation army tent on the grounds. There are about fifty sutler tents. We can buy anything from a pin to a house. I iust had a good breakfast. Four of us bought a large hah and had the cook fry it it tasted good. Captain Stroub is going home to Milton one of 'these days to enlist more men and he is going to 'phone to you. Ijet the boys know there is a chance to enlist. If they do. they will never feel sorry for it. Respectfully, Geo. M. Ci.ei.an. Clarence Moyer Shot. The criminal folly of allowing lioys to have and use fire arms was fearf ully demonstrated on cdnes- day afternoon. Two Iniys, uged alniut nine years, had lieeii playing at war during the morning, and the game was continued until nearly 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when llov Ilcck got hold of n gun loaded with urge shot and fired the contents into the body of Clarence, son of John T. Moyer. The load entered the mouth, cutting away the right angle, all the skin and muscles of the neck is torn away lietween the chin and collar bone, exposing the tongue on the right side. Halt of the inferior jaw bone is torn away and what re mains is fractured. The right fore arm lias all the muscles and urteries torn away exposing the bone. Drs. Heyer and Tool were sent for and lid all that medical science could suggest for the suflerer, aud at pres ent writing the patient is doing as well as could be exiiected under the circumstances. This is a sod acci dent, and should be a lesson to those parents who allow their boys to use guns and pistols.

The history of the war' is told in picture and story, and in a way that ; always characterises the brilliant pen of Senator Ingalls. In narrating the incidents of this war he finds grand scope for his sup erb descriptive and analytical powers.

It is meet and due that we, their tellow citizens, in whose behalf they venture so much, should do what in us lie to lighten their burdens -...1 I? a! m. oiiu rvuvve uieir pains, mere are hardships which these brave men must endure alone, but there are some which we can share with them and which we wish to sliare in re 8Knse both to the dictates of pa triotism and the injunction of the divine charitv :"Ilinr vp nn nnntli. eVa burdens." To this end, many citizens of the United States, in public and private life, without respect to creed or party, have been pronited to unite in an organization known as the "National Relief Commission," and whose aims are here set forth The National Relief Commission is organized in the spirit ami with the general purpose of the Christian ami Sanitary Commissions which operated so effectively during the Civil war. Tlie primary object of thw organi zation is to aid the United States Government in caring foritssoldiers, sauors, murine, ami oinw. wiu may lie disabled by sickness or wounds, and to relieve the families of comlmtaiits, if need hIwiiKI re quire, lo accomplish the? ends, we cull upon all Christum and all philanthropic iieoplc in the United SUttes, without resect to creed or juirty, to form auxiliary Relief Associations; and in order to secure harmony of action and prevent the wate of energy, mins and in order to concentrate all efforts so that the liest results may lie obtained, we in vite such associations to unite with iw in perfecting u National t)rgani-zatioo. A secondary imriiose of the Re lief Commission is to aid thupluins aud Ulers in maiiiuiiiiing the moral tone of the men in the Army and Navy by friendly visits from tur agents and commissioners, and the representatives of religious organi zations ami orders. It is our purpose, through these and other agencies and methods, asexigencies may arise, to contribute to the health and comfort of tlie men on duty ; to aflbrd assistance and support, as may l reuii'ed, to surgeons and nurses in tlie liealing and care of the sick aud wounded; to aid in the administration of re ligious consolation, with due regard to tlie preferences ami convictions of all ; to keep the men in close touch with home and its refining and help ful influences by extending facutiea for ready communication with rela tives and friends ; to facilitate the identification ot those- who may die in tlie service, and to aid kindred and friends in procuring the remains for home burial. In short, we will endeavor to help the men of the Army and Navy with such kindly, healthful and moral influences as will keep them "true to the kindred points of Heaven and Home." We are sure that the citizens ot the United States are willing aud able to aid the National Government to the fullest extent in caring for the disabled, and to promote in the above and kindred ways . the health and comfort of soldiers and sailors and their families. We know that the people have a mind to the work. We believe that it will do them good be strengthened by their endeavors to aid tlie suffering, and those in the field, and that their devotion to the government will lie deepened by co operation therewith in the benevolent phases of public administration. For these reasons we call upon all, o! whatever religious or political belief, individus Uy, in churches, in young people's socities, in liencv olent and . other organizations and orders, to form auxiliary associations in unison with tlie National Relief Commission, !. tlie collection of funds, and to do siieh other Mrvie as circumstance may require. We ask the patriotic ami benevolent everywhere to at once eoMiperat according to their ability, that the work of relief may Ijegin without delay. May God save tlie Republic ! John H. Converse, Pres.
