For the Yorkyllle Enquirer,

Mr. Editor Through your paper, we
would gratefully acknowledge the receipt Of
a large, and veil filed basket of provisions
from Mr.. J. Leander Adams and Miss Sue
Watson, Of Bethel, consisting Of ham,
bread, cakes pies, &c.,q which 'Has shared
by at least 40 hungry wounded soldiers.
1t may be proper to ssate that through
the libetaIity Of the generous President Of
the K. NJ, R. R., committee of 8 inclu'
ding 3 sersants, is allowed to 60 down each
day with supplies for our wounded soldiers;
and, that the ladies of Yorkville have ar
ranged themselves into committees for this
purpose. A large number Of our gallant
wounded passed, almost every day. until
our lines of communication with Richmond,
were broken by the Yankee raids. Doubt
less, as soon as the roads are repaired, the
trains will again be crowded, every day.
When it is remembered that these men
from the different hospitals, in Richmond
and Petersburg, on their wayto their homes,
in the distant South, receive no refreshment
except what may be given tethsm or bought
bysthem, it Unjust appear anoble charity to
supply them. With confidence would we
Sisapheai to our country friends, TO aid the
ladies of Yorkville, in their .wOrkby send
ing them provisions, cooked or uncooked.
Auy provisions of this kind will be gladly
.socirsd and faithfully appropriated by any
Of the ladies; or, if left with Col. Me- Gorkle
he will judiciously distribute the, same a.
mongst;the various committees.
