CAMP GORDON, Sept 20, looS.
Mr. EDIroR:-After the late attack upon Wash
ington, some of our wounded soldiers were, by re-
quest of the Lsdes of Greenville, Pitt County, N.
c., carried to hospital established in the town of
Greenville by the patriotic ladies Of that place.
Among the wounded was member of my company
of cavalry Marshall Rowland, who was severely
wounded in the hand
IT'S pleasant duty, devolving upon myself, to
thank them for their unrcmittcd attention and kind
ness, not only to my own, but to the other wounded
soldiers in their charge. Their kindness, tender.
ness, and hospitality, never be surpassed. And
when this unholy war shall have come to close,
our country will not be indebted to her brave
soldiers than to the beautiful and lovely part which
the women of the Southern Confederacy have acted.
In thanking the ladies of Greenve the other day,
received the following chaste and elegant reply:
1--WE are glad to administer to the comfort of those
who so nobly risked their lives in defending our
homes"
They will pardon me for bringing their names
into public print. l have the following, but there
are others that do not now remember.

Mn. EDIToR:- death of the larnented II. w.
Miller, has caused vacancy in the House of Com
mons of our next Legislature, and We would recon-
mend Capt. Oscar 4. Rand as one in every way
qualified to fill his place.
That Capt. Rand is suitable person, no one who
knows him will doubt The Captain is modest
and unassu,ning man, but those who know him,
know him to possess talents unusual for man of
his age. The Captain has just arrived from Yam
keedom where he has been held prisoner since the
battle of Newbern. His old company has re-organi-
zed for the war long since, and his position filled,
and we think he ought now to be elected to the
Legislature without an opponent and show to him
that the people Of Wake County know, both how to
appreciate and reward the services of her citizens.
