The Hampton soldiers.

--We invite special attention to the eloquent appeal for the Hampton soldiers. It is from the pen of one of the bravest and patriotic of the former citizens of that suffering town. If any men in Virginia have a claim upon the sympathy and aid of their countrymen, it is surely the soldiers of Hampton. We trust that a generous response will be made to this touching appeal in our columns. Any contributions can be forwarded to Major J. B. Cary, Yorktown, care of Mr. Ellyson, Grove Wharf, or via York River Railroad, care of Captain J. B. White, Assistant Quartermaster at Yorktown. We would suggest that the freight on contributions be paid, as there is so much confusion in consequence of large amounts of supplies, that articles are frequently lost.
