Tho Education Of the Orphans in the
State, and Miss Buie's Appeal.
Miss NJ. A. Buie during the. war was true
and devoted friend to the interests aud needs
of ou1 soldiers. Now tsat peace has arrived,
her sympathies and eferts are still enlisted
in bebsli of those who lave been left unpro-
yided for by the Gcsolating iniuences OF tue
strr ryle. Her heretofore kindness is IN the
pra,efu! remembrance OF many.
Her object is the establishment OF an lnsfi,
tut;on for the education of the orphan and
destitute children of our late Confederate SOL
d;ers. To this work she proposes to dedicate
bsrsclf She hes had the offer of suitable
bu;IJinos at Charu,t-, and has met with eu-
copranei,ient to ils,fy the enterprise. She
has persevered amid many obstacles, and Is
horefal Of succesS.e
in letter to US, she states that she has
seen some Of the capitalists 'rnm North Caro-
lin. "who will lend aid to the Institute in
Charlotte Which will con'ain, # stared,
