Acknowledgment.

Headquarters 1st N. C. Cavalry, Camp near Centreville, Va., December 30, 1861.
Editors Dispatch:
Allow me, in behalf of company G, (Buncombe Rangers,) 1st N. C. Cavalry, to acknowledge through the Dispatch the receipt of a box containing seventy pairs of fine woolen socks, twenty-five shirts and drawers, and other articles, a donation from Mrs. Gaines and daughter, of Asheville, N. C. The woolen socks are an article which was most needed by our men, and is one which will be most conducive to the health and comfort of the troops in the field this winter. Each of us take this opportunity of expressing our most sincere and heartfelt thanks for this generous substantial and patriotic donation. It is by such acts as this that the women of the South have endeared themselves to the Southern soldiers, showing that they appreciate their labors, and that they feel for them and sympathise with them in the exposure and hardships they must necessarily encounter, Truly, the ladies are our ‘"ministering angels."’ Bunc.
