--The Sumter (S. C.) Watchman says:‘(Our venerable and aged citizen, Mrs. Leah McFadden, 90 years old in March) has sent us 23 shirts and a number of socks domestic manufacture, for the soldiers from Sumter District, who are most destitute in the army of General Lee. Mrs. McFadden has one hundred and sixty descendants and twenty-five grandsons in the war.’
