It is thought by the committee of safely here, Lhat as vast numbers of Callie amounting lo some thousand are at present under our care belonging to Citizens of the United Stales, and as the present contest we arc engaged in necessarily must he attended with great expense, while those who own property here must participate with us in its bcnefits,-it is no more than reasonable that such owners of properly should in some way or other help us in accomplishing our object If they cannot come themselves, or send men tu help us, we cannot greatly err in soliciting a contrihution or Ir.vying a lax on their properly lo help us 011 in the contest. Captain Rogers, our Chairman wrote some lime since lo ~lajor Hardy Coward of Calcasiu, who has cattle here, fur assislenee l,ut as yet he has rccc:ivr.d no aw;wcr from the letter, and has understood Lhat he inlc!nds not to help us. If such be a general feeling among those who have property here, we cannot cxpccl much from Llu:ir voluntary aid.
