The RELIEF FUND.-We are informed
that the Board of Supervisors of our
county, at its last session, made no fur
Their provision for the relief Of the fami-
lies Of volunteers than that made at its
October session. Four thousand FIVE
hundred dollars weree then provided for
that purpose, and so liberal have several
Of the Supervisors been in the disburse-
ment of this fund, that some $4,000 have
alteady been expended, leaving $1,000
for future exigencies. OF the amount so
expended $500 stand charged to the
township of Crockcry, 5000 to Holland,
$500 to Polkton, and other towns have
shared quite literally, in view of the num-
Der of families applying for aid.
We are constrained to believe, in view
of facts and figures, tina: relief has been
meted out in no stinted manner and
that absent volunteers from our county
need have no apprehension that the wants
Of their families are not duly considered
by the proper authorities.

the name Of our COMMANDMENTS Chief. and
in my own, l thank you.
But the country will expect-youl
Comnanding General sxpects-still more
from you. A campaign without defeat
without even check, raust be collapsed By
deeds Of greater luster.
To this end / now call upon you fol
your own future honor to devote yourselves
with energy and zeal to perfect yourselves
in all that pertains to drill, instruction
and discipline. Let every officer and ev.
cry soldier be emulous to teach and learn
the tirings, light infantry drill, guard du-
ty, company discipline, and police.
Your Commanding General proposes t.
procure for you everything necessary t.
prepare you for your coming work, and
will soon organize boards Of examiners,
who will rid the service of the disgrace
and the soldiers Of the incubus of in.
competent and worthless oficers who hold
the positions and receive the pay without
having the will or rspacity to perform the
duties Of their positions.
Remember you are lighting for your
country, for your flag, for your homes.
Your enemies are implacable in their ha'
tired Of you; there is no measure Of false.
hood to which they have not resorted, to
blacken your good name-and their lead
ers, Beauregard and JEFF. Davis, have
dared, even in solemn proclamations, u
calumniate YOU, charging you with crimes
you abhor--from these men You have
nothing to expect You must prepare Il
teach them not only lessons Of magma
nimity and forbearance toward the unarnn
ed and defencclcss, but to thrust their cal
umnies and their boastings down theil
own traitorous throats.

parations for the task before you.
