No State In the Confederacy was more
nobly represented in the late war, nor did
more gallant service than North Carolina.
Quite Il number Of the sons and daugh-
tiers OF whom the Old North State IS
Justly proud have been brought TO Rich
mond to make their home In the old Con-
federate capital.
Owing TO unavoidable circumstances
unfortunately among the number OF ladies
residing here native born North Caro-
lima woman could not be induced TO accept
the craftsmanship of the tent of that
State. Mrs. Thomas ID. Neal then very
kindly stepped to the front TO take charge
Of that responsible position with the
ladies mentioned above to uphold her
hands.
Wilmington. the home OF Mr. George
Davis, the Attorney General Of the Con-
federate States. has given hearty indorse-
msnt to the work. The papers Of North
Carolina have shown a live interest In the
cause. and published urgent appeals TO
their citizens for help. From Asheville,
durham and other places expressions of
sympathy and promises of aid have al
| ready been received. However. there
| has scarcely any canvassing been done
| in that State, owing to the delay in Sc
| curing a chairman. but now the work
will proceed more rapidly, and North
Carolina will stand in the front as she
| ever did.
Among the articles already sent In for
| the North Carolina tent, are a number
of bullets and a shell found on the battle
fields around Fredericksburg. These relies
were accompanied by the following letter,
which was signed by lady Of Williams
| burg. and written in memory of Private
| Henry l.. Wyatt:
He was the only Confederate soldier
killed in the battle of Big Bethel. below
| Williamsburg, Va, on June 10, 1861. General
| J. b. Magruder. commanding the Depart
ment of the Peninsula, thus mentions
| Private Wyatt in his report to the Sec
| rotary of War of the Southern Confed-
| eracy: Henry l.. Wyatt is the name OF
| the brave soldier and devoted patriot"
| He was member OF the brave and gal
| liant First North Carolina regiment. This
was the first soldier killed in the first
battle between the Confederate forces and
| Northern troops. He was one of four
| Confederates who volunteered to adj
| vance beyond our line Of battle and burn
| small house in which some Northern
soldiers while firing were protecting them
| selves. In this venture Wyatt alone was
killed. The Northern troops were COM
| pletely routed"
1t is desired that each donation, arti-
| Giles and money should he sent ''in men,
DRY" OF some one soldier. officer. COM
| mand battle or victory, accompanied by
| short sketch Of the same. These
