LADIES CHRISTIAN CoMMIssIoN.- The
ladies connected with the several churches in
the city, forming the above Commission, now
find their means of usefulness curtailed from
the want of funds, and very reluctantly make
their appeal to the public. Every dollar con-
tfbuted to this object, with the added labor of
the ladies, is worth three times its value to the
soldier. We trust the generous public will
not allow this organization to disband for
want of material aid just at the time when
their labor is-most needed, but will literally
respond to this appeal. Contributions may be

From North CdrolinG-
1t is understood in official circles that no
hghting has occurred in North Carolina since
Sunday; and from all we eau learn, it appears
that Sherman has Dot attempted no advance
since his check on that day. NJ
Gen. Hardee's victory on the 10th was
very important one, and as regards the enc
my most bloody affair.
Gen. johnson telegraphs that in that battle
the Confederate loss was 450, while that of the
enemy was 5000.
The fght took place at Averysboro, on Cape
Fear River, half way between Raleigh and
Fayetteville. Gen. Johnston's defeat of the
enemy last Sunday, the 18th, occurred at
Bentonviile, near the Neuse River. By these
facts we are informed that Sherman is pushing
towards Raleigh in two columns, one moving
due north from Fayetteville, and the other
northwest from Newbern. Gen. Hardee fought
the former and Gen. Johnston the latter.
