FEMALE VOLUNTEERS IVAN. j ' TED IMMEDIATELY. Two #e«ks ago, there was published in ; i th* "Wave,", an address issued by the ; j Indies' Aid Society of Philadelphia, to j 1 isi|1wi — rrf i h i ii ii it d n-'j-i'iin" w,-i'r-| flplftl them to forward to said »ociety, ar- , tidttl* of underclothing, for tho soldiers, , nnd hospital elores, for the sick. Thinking ; j it doubtful whether anything of importance J would be sent from Cap* May, I was .iin- i ! pmted with' tiiu belief, that our ladies, ; veto fhllicicnily able, to do something fur j j the glorious chose or thn Union. On the i | impulse of the niuiifcrt, 1 resolved to start i a project, which, to me. appeared perfectly ! | feasible. 1 too1: up my pen, aod wrote a ; letter tp (Jeo. W. Smith. 1st Sergeant ,nf : the company, in which are forty Capo May volunlerrs, asking him if under-clothing, ^ ! and, more cspifclally, wollen-stokings w«-r* | ! not needed amo'hg the rnca. If such were ■ . wanted, I requested him to consult with i th* Captain, and J a»o him make out a ccr- ; .; tificale, giving ros the • 1 iiority to lake ! . measures fc)T tho .'olleclion of atockiogs, ' j 4c. I also staled in i>« letter >.al 1 firm- ' i iy believed the ladies of Cape Mar would j joyously accept of such a jm^ect and b* . most happy to hav* an opportnnity of thai ; expressing their sympathy 10 the hardj ship*, and approbation of their noble' ac- | j lions. ' A few days ago, I received an answer to : my latter, from Capt. Froncine himself, ' j w ith tho desired corliScato accompanying it; both of which are published below, and. ! | I ask a reading of them by all ' t I And, now, ladies of Cape Mry, the inia- ■ j tory steps are taken in this matter, and the ■ noble, the merciful, the pal^S&ic work, is ' loft for yon to do. Yon are. not invited to 1 | come forth upon the bloody-field -of battle, ; | there to ofier op your tender, loving -lives, , or to ooxo onl your warm blood a* a liba- | i tion for oar dear Conntry, lb* destruction . of which is threatened by throngs, ye, mil-' 1 liens, of frantic traitors. No ! This is 2 what the men are called lo do. Hut, then, there is a work for you to perform. While your relative*, friends, aad fellow-country-men, are sacrificing aa endeared home, lo strangle and crash this high-handed rebellion, you caa »il at lb* filcside of a quiet »

, cottage, and aid, to a mighty extent, in *c- j J ^ complnhing the same great porpo**, by using the knitting need?*, or palling your c ; hands down in your pocket*, and uk- ^ big lb" trifling araonnt of either adunr.-a ' quarter, a half-dollar, w dollar, or any^tlier ( ! piece of mtrtjoy. Will yuu do it ? Tho an- <g g-lic spirits of thoio revolutionary ladies, old and young, who fed Washington's army. t during the freering wlhler of 177C, .whilr ^ : it was quartered at lha memorable Vplley i ! Forge, whisper In jour cars aud implore j j you to da it. History tell* us of the j worthy deeds of prain, performed by the j 'women of the revolotion." Soma even ' Wont out upon the battle field srrtT died | r | fighting ; others did what you arc be I" leeched to do. And why did tbey do this! . : Merely to establish, a Free Govornmoi.t, which requires your old for its sustenance ; for, it is, and shoald tm acknowledged, that j « itliant the help of ladle*, this nor any otb- j '' or war ran end with brrlfianl success. No j ^ j one, except the soldiers themselves, can ( realize the benefit derived from having on - j ! dorclpthing and stockings, in a campaign. ] ' Winter is hastening, and, ladies, think how | ^pleasant it is, fur thn brave volunteers, lo , wade through mud, water, and, perhaps, j snow, and then lie down with their wot - < stockings on, for the night. Was it known h-nv maiiy there urc that die from disease, I caused by damp feel, and from not having a ' snnicieiv^utjjkirclolhing fur tho body, ii ; wojl I parylize yoa with astonishment, j I Thi^ number would make, a largo army. < You are beings of mercy and now is the j : lime lo prove it. As I have said before j s : you bav« the means. Lei every lady in < j Cape Mhy immediately ret to work, uiid ' 1 kuil one, two or three pair of good, stout 1 : woolen -stockings.

But we are not among i g '.hose who think that success is the only , merit, or that failure is conclusive e*i- f denee of incapacity. Wo desire ltero to ^ j put on record that Gen.

He hits •Hi ready for outstripped, in energy aud , ^ gcncralsltlp, all his military competitors ; } ' of the day. We do noUpeak Ignorant- f ly for we know .whnt was lite condition ' j of things in this Deportment when he ! took tliCjcnmtnund nttd what it is uow, . and tho difficulties under which the | j change lins been effected. In these two l j months sincu tho disgraceful defeat at . | Hull Bun, which had thrown its dark j 1 j shadow over the whole country, he lias 1 j done a Herculean work, enough, of it- , i self, to make lite rcpntation of any utiui | living. ' He found the city absolutely defense- : luts — Secession rampant and jubilant, - I Secessionists organised and full of cour- • age, and the Uiiion men cheerless, with- ' out orgnniiuition, almost afraid to spetik, | 1 and quite afraid to art. They had no efficient head, and no plan of action. ' A considerable number of their most prominent men, who arc now loudest in . complaint, had left or were leaving the city for a Summers recreation. The ; unities of the Co«»: federates were gradually drawing around the city, IJird'a I Point, Pilot Knob, Cope Girnrdean, Jefferson City, and St. Louis, were u!l i threatcu^d, and in danger. Thet little army at Sjiritigfieid was our only hope, ' Gen. Fremont hud no means of reinforcing. that point, and this Gen. Lyon ! well knew. He had neither troops nor ammmunilion to scud. This can be > I proved; anfl in proper tinie, if we are . | not mistak'en, the record will appear. The bottle ot Springfield — one of the j most heroq; exploits in all history — one ; of the grandest of all hnman nets - of 1 self sacrifice — gained time wtflkh was - dilligcntly improved. In a few weeks , ail the poiut*. most important to our i ! cause were adequately strengthened. ' ; The beginning of a grand army wo* , ' made, on a scale which proved that we' had a commander who understood the : r rangnitudo of his work and lite enemy " to be resisted ; and now, at the end of 1 these '.wo short months, we haw a loyal i r city, whore Secession hides iwelf, and in ' 1 j which loyal men are thoroughly organ- j f ized and able to defend themselves. ; e We have a Wtll-dcf£nded city, with fors I tificRlioiie ail around us, so tliut all bosg '« tile attacks cau be resisted by a suioll I I I

nttd the city itself controlled. We ^ a gallant urmy now in tbo field, under the General himself, thirty thou- ^ wind strong, well armed and equipped, with cavalry and ariiihrry and engineer Corps, all. in good condition, and with' every hope of victory which a good enuse und confidence in their officer* and General can give. And how has Hvmy been guthcrea mid organised, in ho short a time, under tho disheartening influence of defeat? Let the truth known; it was by the prestige of Fremont's nunie, and by Fremont's indomitable energy. The men have (locked to enl!, the nuns und munitions of war be has obtiintnl on his own responsibility. He bos been under the necessity of attending to nil the dclaili of business, those who ought to tiave helped had tli<;ir own ends to serve. Ho has been compelled to defend himself at Washington against those whom he w»8 serving, und by whom he ought to have unconditionally upheld. His heroic wife stepped, in the gup, and tunght thetu *omc lessons there which they would not otherwise have learned. Tho Hctiitnt blood stirred within her, und tho ■ truth was spoken in plain terms. But 1 , the opposition lias not been slayj^L. and no stone lias been left uiiturncjFUcre or . .'1 at Wasriingtoii, no agearnf neglected, : which could be used ngCtiist Fremont. He has Iweu drivenrlo tako unusual ! steps and to nsnutiijr unusual responsibilities by the very men who cry out against liitn, for whut tbey have com- ■ pelted him to do I •* We say nttd believe that be will tri- ' ttinphnnily succeed. He thoroughly deserves success. Failure would not bo i Ins fault, but success will bo his glorious j merit. Let nil parlies ausUiu, bim in I this hour of trial, and Icttlio faults bo | found, if opy/ffker lite success has bceu i gained. Every man who now worki j against Fremont is giving aid and comI fort to the enemy. SOOTHERS ITEMS. . j Mctiny in Fort Simi-ter. — Among the soldiers now in Fort Suinptcr, is James Cahcl, ou Irishman, who, a few weeks ngo, 'and the bravery to say that when the Union fleet hove in sight, ho to spike the gun* of the fort. For this expression Captain Khott (son ! of the editor of the Mercury) ordered ! him to be lied across a gun sud whipped — to receive one hundred and twentyfivo lashes, uell laid on. The soldiers . in the fort rebelled agaiust tho infliction I of this punishment, nnd to alarming was the mutiny, that Khett sent to Fort Moultrie for soldiers lo quell it. They came, and the man waB whipped. This iucident, which ocarrcd but two or tbrco weeks ago, shows the state of feeling ; ..tnong the soldiers in Fort Sumpter. ' They are mostly foreigners and Northern men, who, having no work, were obliged to go into the army to live. The Jackson Fund. — It appears that iu ail the Sputhcru cities funds wero raised for the wife of Jackson, who mur- ! de red Colonel Ellswurtlr. It is suppo*- ' ed that tlio amount raised is at least $100,000 In Charleston, porsous wero * 1 ! deputed to solicit aid from tho banks, ' stores, pnblic offices, and private houses • _ and on their "national fast day," sub- - ; scriplionB were taken up in atf the cbur- ! chea for the beneflt of the "Jackson ' Fund." The aggregate Bum collected ' I in Charleston, wasabool $20,000. . | New Orleans. — Information from ! New-Orleans reaches u* by way o^Lou5 iskjlle, Ky. From this It appears that . 1 considerable excitement exists in tha 1 1 fi^Jjter ciiy concerning the anticipated fittack npon<*t by a National fleet. Col- ; umbiods have been planted above and I | below the city, and other mensuret for n i iu defense have been taken. It is said, * ^ . however, ^that it would he very easy for ' onr troops from Ship Island to take wj the city in lite rear, silence the battel lw * ,. ' und open the way for' the approach of II - the flvet.
