and not only is it in Town, but the refugees in
the woods and the residents in the surrounding
country sadly in want OF provisions; we are
compelled every day to send cart loads of the neces
saries of life for distribution them from star
vation.
Tie state of things is pa, tcularly the case in the
DeghboriIood where the oystcrmen reside-thelr
business bcing entirely cut off, and as they produce
articles Of provision unless aid be extended them
they must die of famine.

pied at our Relief Store; numbers go away empty

Virginia and the Union for the generous sympathy
they have displayed in behalf; nobly have they
responded to appeals for aid, and through their
kindness we have been enabled To feed the hungry
AID c.othc tile naked.
