The Gunboat Fund.

We acknowledge the receipt of twenty dollars from Mr. William A. Wright, of this city, as a contribution to the Ladies' Gunboat Fund. Mr. Wright says in his letter:--‘ "Being prevented by physical inability from taking an active part in the defence of Southern independence, I feel anxious to contribute my mite to so noble and patriotic a purpose."’

We have also received the following letter with the enclosure:


Editors of the Richmond Dispatch:
Gentlemen:
Enclosed you will find one hundred dollars, in your favor, remitted by request of Mrs. B. W. Belsches, Sussex, Virginia, for the Ladies' Gunboat Fund.

Respectfully yours,

McIlwaike, Son & Co.
Petersburg, April 16, 1862.
