the ladies of North Carolina.

The ladies of Wilmington, Goldsboro', Newbern, Greensborough and Granville, forwarded to this city, to the care of the Hon. A. W. Venable, many boxes of hospital stores and clothing for the sick, suffering and wounded soldiers of North Carolina--all of which have been received and forwarded to the several camps in the State of Virginia. In this work Mr. Venable was much assisted by the Young Men's Christian Association of Richmond.--He also received from the ladies of Goldsboro' one hundred and seven dollars, from the ladies of Newbern one hundred and fifty dollars, and from other sources, fifteen dollars, for the same purpose. One hundred and seventy dollars were appropriated to the Sycamore Hospital, in this city, for the relief of a large number of sick soldiers from North Carolina, who are now receiving the kind attention of the benevolent ladies who are actively devouring themselves to this humane and Christian service. The rest of the money has been paid to the Colonels of regiments for the benefit of the sick out in remote positions, and in relieving the present necessities of sick soldiers returning home to recover their health. He also returns the thanks of our sick to Mrs. John Tyler, the wife of the Hon. John Tyler, for a box of wine and cordials prepared by herself, and by her direction sent to the sick soldiers at the same hospital.

The cares and pressure of public duties prevented Mr. Venable from devoting as much personal attention as he would have desired to this good work; but those to whom he entrusted it have done it much better than he could possibly have done. The patriotic charity of the women of North Carolina is fully appreciated by the soldiers, and ‘"the blessing of God, which maketh sick and addeth no sorrow therewith,"’ will fill their hearts with joy.

To the sick soldiers of North Carolina who may hereafter come to Richmond, Mr. Daniel H London will give his attention, and direct as many of them to the Sycamore Hospital as can be received into that institution. They will there find in the pastor of the church, the Rev Mr. Pet , his associate superintendent, John P. Dickinson, Esq, and the pious ladies of his congregation, together with the aid of an intelligent committee and an excellent physician Dr. Snead all the appliances necessary for sick and suffering strangers — In the name of North Carolina, our thanks are tendered to that benevolent association, with the prayer that God may bless them for their labor of love.
