For the Ladies.
As Col. E. Greer is now engaged (by order of Hon. L. P. Walker, Secretary of War) in organizing a regiment of volunteers, who will leave for the field of battle, in ten or fifteen days; it behooves us all to assist in every possible way those who are leaving all, and risking all in defence of our rights, our homes, and all that is dear or sacred to us on earth; and I would humbly suggest to our lady friends, who are ever ready to encourage and assist in all humane labors, that they meet at the Court House, next Tuesday, at 3 o'clock, P.M., for the purpose of supplying lint, bandages, and all such articles as may be useful to the sick and wounded. Will not some of our physicians be present, as their advice would be useful. W. C. Dunlap.

A follow-up:
The ladies of Marshall, in response to the card of Rev. W. C. Dunlap, published in the last issue of the Republican, held a meeting at the Courthouse on Tuesday.
