Acknowledgment.
--Please allow me space in your paper to acknowledge the receipt of the following valuable, contribution of clothing for the use of destitute soldiers; from Mrs. J. B. Alexander and daughter of Pulaski county Virginia, 17 pairs Jeans pants, 16 pairs cotton drawers, 55 pairs woolen socks, 15 flannel shirts, 30 cotton shirts, 12 bed comforts.These articles were all of the best home manufacture, and the gift reflects no loss credit upon the energy, and industry than upon the liberality of the fair donors — such instances of patriotism should not pass unnoticed; and when this struggle for liberty has been fought and won, their names will deserve to stand side by side with the patriot women of seventy-six. To- day they have the heartfelt thanks of many a soldier, exiled from home and friends, who has been rendered comfortable by their timely and needed aid; and the rich reward of feeling that they have done their duty and given their woman's mile to the good cause of Southern independence.
