The Richmond Enquirer of Tuesday morning, has a
long piece about the fight at Roanoke Island in which
great deal is said about General Wise and General
W8c's Legion. New this is all fummery. The only
orders that Col. Shaw got from General Wise were
obeyed Of the much talked of Wise Legion only
three hundred men engaged in the main fight. OF
the engineering on the island none done by North
Carolinans. The work at which the stand made
wa, as we learn, planned by Virginian-Lieut Sci
den-a good and true and brave man, who has sealed
bis devotion with his lifes blood Such articles as that
which forms the leader of the Enquirer of the 25th
wrong, foolish, and calculated to do much harm. We
dislike to talk about a contemporary which we res
pect so highly, but the fact is so, and is so felt.

In answer to the numerous enquiries which have
been made by the different " Aid Societies which have
been recently formed throughout the State, l have
been intructed by his EXcellency Gov. PICKENs, to
give the following information
Depots will be established by the Quartermaster
General, both in Charleston and Columbia, for the
reception of all donations of clothing; and he is also
charged with the duty of forwarding and distributing
the same
The department" will receive all donations of
clothing, say frock coats and pantaoons Of heavy
worsted goods, shirts ano drawers of heavy home
spun flannel wool, heavy cotton socks, blankets
new or second hand, also heavy Shoes
The plan upon which the State designs supplying
her soldiers with all necessary clothing, is based upon
their willingness to surrender to the State the amount
of money appropriated by the Confederate Govern
ment for this purpose, say fortytwo ($42 per annum
this not being sufficient in consequence of
the greatly advanced cost of material. 1t is in view
Of this fact that these laudabe "Assocations' Of la
dies and gentlemen are cordially welcomed as coad-
tutors in This noble work, and proportion their
voluntary contributions of labor and Materials will
the absolute cost Of clothing for gallant volunteers
be reduced.
In the event that any of the Associations" should
not feel temSe yes abe to furnish both material and
labor the Quartermuster General is instructed 10y his
EXcelency tile Governor. to reimburse such Associa-
tons the Of al materials. rate not exceeding
similar materials purchased by the "Dcpartment;h
and the quantity allowed for each garment shall be
the same as used in our Manufacturing Bureau
Societies particularly requested to advise the
Quartermaster General of the quantity of work they
do per week, and the amount Of donations they
will probably send.

lana and Texas.
CITIZENS AND SOLDIERS
We your Governors, have deemed
it our duty trecl y to confer with ON,
another, for our common goou, anu
for the advancement Of the sacre,
cause Of the Confedcracy, a caus,
that involves not only tho pcrma.
nenC prosperity OF the States con
corned, but the. preservation on tai
continent Of the rights OF selt.goy
ernment, bequoathel to us by our
ioretatherS,
We are determined to do al! III
our power for the safety and protec-
ton Of tne States we represent, and
for the prosperity and perpatuity Of
the Conttderacy,
While the enemy remain in the
temporary possession Of the Missis,
sippi, we are in measure cut off
from free and unrestrained commu-
nicatiOn with our sister States and
with the Confederate authorities al
Richmond.
This induced the necessity Of con
cert Of action on our part, as the
executives Of the several States west
of the Mississippi.
We have had that consultation,
and have taken every step that in
our opinion we deemed necessary,
for fully representing to the Conied-
crate authorities the wants and ne
ce.sities of these great States.
We have every assurance that the
President has neither forgotten nor
Abandoned us, and are well satisfied
that in short time the proper steps
will be taken by him for filly pro
tecting the integrity Of our soil,
where it has not yet been pollutod,
and for driving the enemy back
from amongst us, by interposing u
stubborn resistance to his further
advance at every point.
We have every confidence in the
Confederate authorities we believe
that they will fully sustain the. cred
it Of the governn eat here, and pro-
vide amply for our future defense.
But in order that they may be able
thus to defend US, it behooves us
all to be at work. Let every fir
arm be repaired, and every gun
smith and every worker in iron,
and every mechanic be imployed in
fashioning the material for war.
Let beauty sit day by day at the
spinning wheel, the loom and with
the needle, never wearying in pre-
pairing the necessary article, ofclo-
thing for the brave soldiers Of our
States who stand between her and
infamy and MISERY, as an impassi-
bic bulwark. Let all the wariike
of these great States be
brought to light. It is for liberty
and life we fight, and good God
has given us in this fair land all the
material that brave men need 10 de
fend their homes and their honor.
Let no despair enter any heart
