NOBLE AND PATRIoTIC.--Several influential and
highly talented ladies of this city-at the head Of
whom are Mrs. Bell, Qormerly Mrs. VIM. Knight)
Mrs Walker, Mrs. Leniart and Mrs. Spooncr-
leave their homes in this city in few days for the
seat of in Virginia, to establish hospital for
the benefit Of the sick and wounded soldiers of the
Confederate Army. Their mission at this time is
certainly one Of appropriate beneyolence, and one
in which they have The ever-ready and generous
aid Of the Ladies' Society of the Confederate Army,
and many of our patriotic citizens. The ladies
are all peculiarly fitted for the duties Of this mis-
sion by reason of each one having many near and
dear to them engaged in the service, and liable to
the same suiferings which they will be called upon |
to appease in others. Mrs. Bell has three Sons in
the Confederate Army; the husband of Mrs. Len
hart is there; Mrs. Spooner has a son, and Mrs. |
Walker many relatives and friends, all fighting for
the honor, glory and independence of the South.
They will certainly carry into their vocation zeal
and patriotism which will stop at no sacrifice. We
understand two of our distinguished surgeons will
accompany them, and render their skilliul services
where they may be needed. We have heard that
lists of subscription in aid of these ladies can be
found at Messrs. Creevy & Farwell's, Carondelet
street; at Howell & McCutcheon's, Camp street;
at VIM. shannon's, Notary Public and possibly
other places. The time is short; therefore all who
feel disposed, as they should be, towards aiding
this most holy of charities, will contribute some
thing, ever SO little, as soon as possible.
