THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY ASSOCIATION has been working twenty years for the African race. Since the beginning of the Rebellion it has turned special attention to the Freedmen. It has not over 300 Teachers and Missionaries among them. Whatever a wise Christian benevolence prompts in their behalf, by way of Schools, Orphan Homes, Relief for the suffering, and direct religious effort, the Association undertakes, to the full extent of the means furnished by the friends of the colored people.

Lewis Macon Ga Dear Sir Your favor of 9th inst is received. I can scarcely give the amount of cloth needed, as all the children I receive are destitute of clothing. I would like to have hats, blue and white narrow striped cotton and some sort of substantial stuff for pants, for boys. For the girls - dark calico, and blue and white plaid cotton. I was in Marietta yesterday and learned there are 20 orphans in that place, just living among the colored people as they can. A note from Maj Moseback last evening informed me there are five children in Campbell Co. abandoned by their parents, without one bite of food. He wanted to know if I would receive them.
