To the Public.

Under call for subscriptions to the Fund for
the relief of the families of volunteers in August,
leO2, sum upwards Of ten thousaud dollars
tSlOOOl) has beeu paid to the Treasurer. or this
amount nearly nine thousand dollars (SS52O gIl
have been distributed in sem-mouthly allow

five hundred and iOrty-six l54G) families. There
now remain unexpended fifteen hundred and

which is but little more than enough for the
pay ment Ofanother allowance, and unless further
contributions are made to the Fund, il would
be entirely exhausted just ut the season when
relief and assistance are especially needed The
collection and distribution of this money have
taxed the time and attention of the those who
undertook the work. but having witnessed the
substantial good which has resulted from their
abols, they feel bound by a sense Of duty aud
humanity to again appeal to the generosity
OF their fellow citizens to repenish the Fund
which has proved to be the source of ncalcula-
bic benefits to most deserving class Of people.
The contributors, past and future, may rest as-
sured that their liberality can fluid few worthier
objects than that for which this Fund is intended
1t is well known that the pay Of the soldiers is
Insufficient, Mt the best, to the support of their
families, and the Inconvenience and the distress
of the latter have been aggravated by the delay
and irregularity in the payment of the army.
have n strong claim to our care and protection,
HO just and loyal man will deny. The Delaware
Volunteers have done nobly and we'll. The
Peninsula, Maryland and Virginia campaigns
attest their endurance aud vaior. The fallen
brave in front of Richmond, at Antetam aud
Fredericksburg, with mute cloquence excite
our grateful admiration and sorrow and
the veterans who survive give living testi-
mony by their honorable scars, of the
perils and dangers through which they have
passed. The war-wOrn survivors are still facing
the foe, with stout hearts ready to encounter the
shock of arms, trusting to the honor, the justice
and the patriotism of their fellow citizens at
home to save their families from restitution.
Shall the widows and orphans of the SHIN, shall
the wives and children of the living but absent
soldiers, be left uncared for by US who view the
horrors of war at distance, aud whose personal
safety and property are rendered secure by the
trials aud blood OF those gallant men?
1t is desirable 10 obtain the means TO continue
b-weekly payments until the end of winter
The allowance given TO each family is not more
than eight, or lie 8 than four dollars per month.
In addition to the money paid out, two hundred
(2OO) cords OF wood aud seven hundred (700l

BATTLE or KINsToN.

: KsSsroN, n. c., Dec. ,3lst, 1862.
The Town of Kinston is situated on the
north bank of the Mouse River. Directly
south of the Town a bridge crosses the
river aud varioasroads lead off from the
opposite, SIDE, to Newberu, Dover, Trenton
and Wilmington About half mile. FROM
the bridge. down the Wilmington road, is a
church, and around this chu@h ui7 last let:
ter to you lefrthe little band of Confedera-
,es. .who we're entrusted with the defence
of the place. The morning Of December /
dawncd upon, them, in all the serene beauty
Of December morning They awoke ffom
theirichilly ,slumbers on the ground, and
evelJ thing seemed peaceful aud quiet---the
doors Of the little. church were open, Ethe
day3was the blessed Sabbath, but the man
Of God was not to be heard to day, counsel
ing peace and repcutance-the day andzthe
placeRcre to be oousecratcd TO angry Mars
The morning wore away nfearful suspense.
Wlchear proximity of the enemy deterpin-
ed Oal. McMas.er to have arrangements
faade: for an attack at any momont, and he
accordingly arranged apian Of battle. The
detachment Of the 6lst N. c, T.. were
placed on the right, the Holcombe: :Legion
in the centre, and the siz-eompauies of our
Regt. Nhe l7rD on the left. -Four pieces Of
Capt Bunting's N. G. Artillery, were ar
ranged in good positions, to rake an ad
vance Of the enemy FROM any quarter
Captain Edwards, of our Regiment was
sent forward in advance to awaitthe enemy
About S o'clock, a, N Gen. ESans arrived
on the ground, made no alterations in The
line Of battle, but ordered another company
from our Regiment forward ssto meet the
enemy, and to 60 on until we did meet
them, aud then fight them back" Ccmpa-
ny Z, Capt. Avery was selected, and the
two companies proceeded forward across a
tremendous swamp, and then to an enclosed
field, skirted with old field pines. The COM
panics deployed in this field and very soon
the long lines of skirmishers Of the enemy
were seen advancing. We allowed them
to get within $50 yards, when we opened
fire on them and fell back across the swamp,
and halted again and when they came in,
rauge we gave them ayvolley and returned
to our places iu line ofbattle The artillery
now opened and the fig ght commenced in
good earnest at o'clock, a. M, The enc.
my first attacked our right and were re-
pulsed several times BY our artillery and
infantry. Our artillery did gooaezecution,
sending the vandals back at every onset,
until its ammunition was exhausted andit
compelled to retire, which itsdid about1l
o'clock,>a. m. We we're then ssftwith only

numbers of the enemy, with their splendid
artillery iu full! play upon as. We. still
