Carpet clothing.--Savannah is up and doing in behalf of our suffering soldiers in Virginia.
A public meeting has been held, and prompt measures taken to secure at once clothing for the army.
Messrs. W. H. Wiltberger & Co., proprietors of the Pulaski House, have offered the entire stock of carpets of their establishment to be converted into covering for the soldiers.
Some idea of the munificence of the donation may be formed when we state that it comprises the carpeting of one hundred and twenty rooms, and when cut up will make over five hundred comfortable and good-sized blankets.--Mobile Tribune, October 7.
