ing raised in your city for the benefit OF our
sick and wounded at Manassas and elsewhere
l feel thankful for the privilege OF belug able
to contribute 20 such a cause Would 10 God
that every man at the Sonth could realize the
duty he issnoW called on to perform. There
is something for every one to do he who,
from circ ums tances, cannot shoulder DIS
musket in defence OF his country. can contri-
butte his means Men, muskets and money
form the staple of our army, II all are alike
necessary. l envy not the condition OF that
man who, in the re retirement OF private lIfe is
content TO look Oh passively at the result of
this conflict ard even tnally enjoy the beneii 70
TO be derived from it without contributing in
the slightest degree to its success. 1t ia a
common argu ment that property will contri-
butte it's proportion by taxation. This will
pro vide the necessiries for carrying the
war but il does not furnish comforts for the
sick. The obligation is Ger taiply as great on
one man as another to defend the honor of
his country, and while many volunteers are
contri batting both their lives and their for
tunes, there are many Others who con tribut t.
ne ther. There are many in our army who
have nothing to offer but their PERSONS and
shall they, after pouring out their blood in
defence of the rights and property of others,
be denied, by the insratitude OF their fellow
citiZ ms, the ordinary comfort OF soft mat
trrss wherein to ease q wounded limbf May
all be enabled 10 and do their duty, is the
sincere wish Of the writer.

LAMByTABLB AFFAIR We lesrn that Capt
CHARLES II. ARSON, of South Carolina, was
killed last Tuesday evening, near Wilson,
orth Carolina, on the Wilmington and Vel
don Railroad, by ARTHUR Is. DAVIS, of the
Second Georgia Regiment. The main par
ticulars of the affair, we learn from eye
witnesses, are as follows
Capt. A AsoS, en- route for Richmond was
bringing with him some Watermelons and fine
tropical fruits, as Il present to distinguished
friends in Richmond. DAyIs, while intoxi-
cated, cut open several of the nelon. and
crushed others. He afterwards approached
the Captain and offered as an apology the re
mark that he WAS drunk, to which the Cap
tain replied that being drunk was no excuse
for stealing. Du ring the Gay DAVIS again ap-
preached the Captain, and declared that he
was sorry for what he had done while intOxi-
Gated, and was willing to make any apology for
il The Captain replied thai he was satisfied :,
shook his hand and joined him III drink
They appeared afterwards TO be friendly for
some hours. In the afternoon, DAVIS being
again under the influence of liz uor, was max
| ing q rather careless exhibition of side-arms,
when the Captain, in good humor, and ap.
parently demonstrating, held him for mo-
| ment. Being released, DAVIS withdrew for a
moment to another car ; but soon returned,
with pistol i'll hand, demanding to know
where was the man who had imposed on him.
| Captain A, suprosirg at once that he was
| the person alluded to, stepped forward and
was shot in the breast by DAVIS when very
| near him. Capt. A. died instantly. DAVIS
was arrested.
Capt. ARSON was the commander of Com
pany "M," First Regiment South Carolina
Vclunt eeTs, which returned home few weeks
since. Ee was returning with his company
again to enter the service. He was true
Southern man and gallant officer. His COM
pany wore warmly devoted 10 him, and are
much afflicted by his untmely death.
