Donations for the Soldiers.

Many persons in the State are ready to contribute
what they can spare in clothing, shoes, blankets,
&C. for the benefit of the soldiers of North Caro-
lima, provided they be made certain that the
articles sent will reach their destination We have
taken pains to ascertain how this be done,
and the following is the result of our inquiries.
These arrangements may be relied upon:
l. Gov. Vance has ordered the Captain of every
militia district in the State to call upon each family
in their several districts to purchase collect what
they may be willing to give to the North Carolina
soldiers, blankets, jeans, nseys, leather, shoes,
socks, carpets and clothes ready made, to be dev-
erred by the Colonel of the regiment to the Quarter
master in Raleigh to be forwarded by him to the
proper regiment or company.
2. Besides this, the people of one or more Cap
tan'S Districts, if their donations are sufficiently
large to justify it. may select gentleman whom
they may prefer to carry on their donations to the
regiment or company, and the State will furnish
the transportation and pay the necessary expenses
of the agent.
g. ALI articles donated should be carefully put up
in packages, bags boxes barrels, and they should
be legibly directed to the soldier or company for
whom they are intended, naming the company and
regiment, and if possibleekhe Bri gade.
T. Persons who wish to send articles to any SOL
der or company, but who do not find it convenient
to deliver it to the Captain of their District or to
special Agent, by directing it carefully as above,
may deliver it to the nearest Railroad Agent direc
ted to the care of Capt: j. F. Garrett Quarternas-
ter at Raleigh N. c., and it will be promptly for
warded
8. All articles intended for sick or wounded SOL
diers or for Hospitals, must be carefully directed
and sent to the care of Surgeon General Warren,

with the case of Carl Horne, who is un-

The execution is set for Friday next. At
