Slew, ill whieh wo%ro now en-
gaged, will, in all probability, be pro-
loafed for many months to come, and
!mr foldier* exposed to the rigors of
.A winter!# campaign, and it becomes
¿the demand of patriotism, and of du-
ly that the people should supply them
with those things which are essential
to their comfort. This can bo ef-
fecied at but little inconvenience end
UUUlg npebse to the people, and it
will result in rerr material aid to the
Government. Accordingly, I wish
. H #dy *e the formation, in every coun-
ty, of a nunmittee or Society, whose
di)ty ib snail be to solicit and'receive
frara «very family in the county, a
Blanket or Comfortable. The articles
thus contributed, will be of little or
■o Inconvenience to the' family con
tributing, yet when aggregated to-
gether, they will afford an immeiiMe
Mpply for our sick and wounded sol
die|«. The Committee, or Society
should box up the contribution it
naf receive, and have them trans-
ported to Houston, Marshull, filler
man, Dallas. Aunliu or San Antonio,
from which poiut they can t o sent
fcrth wherever they may be needed.
It if particularly requested that nil
auppliea of this character which can
Re seat, to Houston, be forwarded
thither without delay; and from that
point they can readily be conveyed
to our army in Virginia. In those
instaures where- it is impossible to
•end contributions tó either of the
«Mints designated, they should be ta-
ken in charge by the local committee,
and held subject to the order of the
Governor of TexaB.
■ In addition to these voluntary con-
tributions for the sick and wounded,
■OUr soldiers will require. Clothing.
And I further suggest that all articles
of heavy elotbing,{which can be made
In the different commmiitics, bo nt
onco put into shape. Thin Clothing
■williispftid for in the Bonds of the
Confederate St^es, and thus its mnu-
ufactuhs 'may become the means of
'giving occupation to many persona
thfouglióut the State, who would
otherwise be unemployed. Of course
the Committee,* or Society, should
nlso take the management and control
•■of this business into its bands.
• I will presume to" offer no further
. fbggestions. It is believed tlmt South-
fern Aid Societies will be formed in
•every community, and they willjudge
'best of the immediate means to be
employed in accomplishing the end
proposed. .

To the Feefie ef tH Oeantf.
At a meeting of the Executive
committee of Austin County, on the
23d inst., the following resolutions
were presented by Col. Blake:
Reiolved, That the act of the Con-
federate Congress, pasted qt its
late session, (güi^jhóriz'ing the issu-
ing of Treasury-Notes; not below
the denomination of- Five Dollar*
and not to exceed one hundrec
millions nt any time In circulation,
and a supplementary act authoriz-
ing the issuing of One Hundred
Milliond of 20 gears' 8 per cent.
Bonds, is an act authorized by the
condition of the country, wise in
policy, and safe and expedient in
practice.
2d. That we believe it flie dnty of
every citizen to aid in the accomp-
lishing tin* design and effect of this
act, and with this view, we as in-
dividuáis, announce our willingness
to take these Treasury Notes so
issued, at par value, in pnymbni
of all dues to us, and mir determi-
nation to offer aud press the «ame
, in payment and exueguishment of
all debts due from us. And be-
lieving these Treasury Notes will
afford a good and efficient circula-
tion, and the safest medium of Ex-
change,
Reto/ved further, That we deal with
no house who may refuse to receive
said notes in payment of all duett
to them, or goods sold or services
rendered by them.
Resolved, That the chairman of this
committee appoint a sub-committee
of 7, of Whom the chairmnn shall
be one, whose duty it shall be to
call a meeting of the citizens ot
Austin county, to meotatthe Court
House in Bellville, on the 1st of
October, to consider the subject
matter of the foregoing resolutions,
and that said sub committee be in-
structed to present the same, and
urge the concurrence of the people
of Austin County therein.
The abovo resolutions wore adopted
by the Executive Committee j but
they being desirous that the people,
in whom all power dwells, Bhould ex-
press their concurrence therein, in ac*.
cordance with the last resolution, ap-
pointed the undersigned a sub-com-
mittee, to call a meeting of the peo-
ple of Austin County, to be held at
Bellville, on Monday the 1th day of
October, 1861. We therefore respect-
fully urge the ci tizens of Austin coun-

all, as well those who oppose, as
those who favor the adoption of the
resolutions, Bhall be heard. The com-

which he is placed In possession of intelli-
gence in advance of too mail. He is de-
termined, regardless of expense, that the
readers of the Telegraph shall be the first
