BE Charitable.

The distressing prices of the neccssaries Of
life should remind every patriotic man and
woman of the Importance of aiding the des-
titute. There are many soldiers wives and
children, as well as poor widows and helpless
orphans, who cannot live through the strug-
gle for our country's independence without
assistance, and every person who has the
ability should have the heart to bestow it.
Every patriot should do his best in assisting
this portion Of his community. Many of the
most deserving and needy, are those whose
circumstances heretofore render it peculiarly
humiliating for them to ask for assistance.
Such should claim the v%igilant notice and
confidential aid. Of private beneicence.-they
shrink from public charity. We heard of q
man, not long since, who was actually con-
gratula ing himself that be had not contribu.

follows:
The battle is considered one of the most DIES.
perate ever fought, as the slaughter IN both sides
will attest. During the enemy's retreat our artil-

entire loss is estimated FROM eight to ten thousand;
that of the enemy from twenty-five to thirty thou

In u charge over four lines of the enemy. and
the taking of u battery, about one-third Of the
StonGwall brigade was killed OF wounded.
In the 10th Virginia regiment, nine out of eleven
