Patriotic contributions for the army.
The following contributions were reported on Friday and Saturday last, as appears from a record kept by
Col. J. B. Jones, at the
Passport Office:
‘
J. P. Henderson, $500 worth clothing to 4th and 13th North Carolina regiments.
J. J. Hutchinson, $1,000 worth of clothing, &c., to the 5th, 6th, 11th, and 13th Alabama regiments.
Wm. R. McClintock, $1,000 worth of clothing to 13th Alabama regiment.
J. J. Rawles, $3,000 worth of clothing to the 20th Georgia regiment.
J. D. Sims and
Thos. McGarch, $300 worth of clothing to Georgia Artillery.
James Scalfe and
W. W. Renwick, $1,500 worth of clothing to 6th South Carolina and 4th Louisiana regiments.
Dr. Stewart and
Mr. Clarke, $5,000 worth of clothing, &c., to 6th and 8th Mississippi regiments.
C. G. Thurmond, $1,700 worth of clothing and $100 in gold to the 9th Louisiana regiments.
J. S. Turnbull, $1,000 worth of clothing to the 12th Georgia regiment.
J. Wood, $150 worth of clothing to 5th Alabama regiment.
Gen. S. D. Watson, agent for contributors, $2 ,000 worth of clothing, &c., to 4th, 10th, 11th, 5th, 3d, and 8th Alabama regiments.
Making an aggregate of $51,950. When the people of the
South manifest this patriotic disposition to relieve the
Government of a vast portion of the expense of the war, every facility should be afforded them for the prompt and safe transportation of packages.
Several influential gentlemen are interesting themselves in this matter, and the press will doubtless second their efforts.
