Raleigh, being the centre Of a vast coun-
try with large population, among whom
was probably ii larger proportion of Those
needing help than elsewhere. soon became
the depot for large supplies and also, for this
and other reasons, became the point where
advice was sought.
DONATIONS.
In addition to the statistics given of sup
plies furnished, several thousand bushels of
corn and other necessaries have been distrib-
uted through the Bureau, being the dona-
lions of charitable people in Boston. New
York and Philadelphia.
In reference to the donations from the
North. / must bear testimony, not only to
that from the citizens of Boston, hut also to
the great good accomplished by the purpo-
ses to which it has been devoted by the di-
rection of the committee acting in behalf of
the donors. While the supplies furnished
by the government and private contributions
mainly, there was still Il class whose peculiar
wants could not be reached by these sources.
The sick and aged, intirm and feeble chill
dren. to whom the food furnished was not
sufficient to sustain life, and to whom food
OF different character was necessary, were
supplied through this gift. Nine thousand
one hundred dollars and ninety-fve cents
was placed in the hands of A committee for
the State composed of Hon. w. W. Holden.
Ex-Governor of North Carolina, r. W. Pull
liam, Esq, and the Asst Commissioner. with
instructions to provide for this class of suf-
terers, without regard to race, political or re-
hgious sentiments. BY the appointment of
subcommittee, principally composed of la
dies, the fund has been freely given, and a
considerable balance still remains to be used
as cases occur, and to meet the exigencies of
the approaching winter This charity has |
been of incaculable benefit, and the recipi- |
ents are exceedingly grateful to the donors. |
The thanks OF all are particularly due to !
VIM. Gray, Esq, chairman of the committee
on behalf of the Bostonians, for his SYM
pathy and interest in this voluntary act of
humanity, and to ADDISON Gage, ESQ, who
personally visited this section and proposed
this excellent arrangement.
