In order to creato sufficient public interest lo guar? antee success in this undertaking, tho committoo would simply invite thc attention of our follow eitizeus throughout tho State, and especially those residing in Charleston, to the following communi? cations, and sincerely trust it may never bc justly said that South Carolina waa found wanting in sym pithy with those who would gladly join in bon? orin;.* her owr. distinguished dead. For tho convenience of those of our city who may wish to contribute oven tho smallest amounts, sub? scription lists will bo left at thc offices of THE DAILY NEWS, Mercury, and Courier respectively. JULIUS M. RHETT, Chairman. The following is tho call of General QUATTLE BACM and tho letter of airs. SMITH, referred to : THE CONFEDERATE DEAD NE.UL AVEItYSBORO', NORTH CAROLINA. Mr. Editor: Sevoral months ago I made known to you and tho numerous readers of tho NEWS a proposition of Mrs. Smith, and other lad'es of North Carolina, to have all tho Confederates who fell in battlo near Averysbo-o'and still lay buried where they fell, taken up and rointcrrcd in ono common cemetery, to bc properly enclosed, and t ion havoa suitable monument erected to their memory. This generous, patriotic ladv offered to donate not only thc ground, but to render all the assistance in her power to carry out this laudablo object, and asked tho aid and "co-operation of the ladies of South Carolina, as well os thc relatives and friends of thc deceased generally. As these troops were mostly from Charleston," where they had. for full fom years, stood more invincible" than walls of stone among the bravest of its bravo defenders, never for a moment faltering, even under the terrible shower of iron hail to which thov were exposed from tho opening tire on Fort Sumter to thc pain fid evacuation of thc city, presenting themselves at all tunes as barriers" between the innocent inmate? within and thoir inveterate enemies without, until the order came from a quarter which they, as soldiers, ?ero bound to obey, and thus, for tho first time, turning then- backs upon their homos and tho many loved ones leftbohiud, !o still clo battle for them in distant fields-I repent it, as theso were tho troops who scaled with their life's blood thoir unswerving dcvo; ion to a cause in which Charleston fully sympathized, from tho rising of it< morning star to thc going down there? of-I did hope that thc reasonable request of tho fair daughters ol'the Old North State-to do just, ileserving and Incoming homage to these noble martyrs-would receive a reaiK and willing re? sponse from their more Southern" sisters. Xor can I believe otherwise than that, when the lidies and citizens of Charleston learn, from tao subjoined letter of Mrs. Smith, that the good people of North Carolina have performed Ihofirst and most disagreeable part ol this verv commendable work -that of collecting together {he dead bodies-and now only want a few hundred dollars to complete tho enclosure and monument, they, too, will readi? ly contribute their part. It only requires some organized plan, with generous, patriotic ladies of Charleston at its head, to make this matter suc? ceed. Yon may do much to aid the schomo through the instrumentality of your paper, and bv a little private advice. For tho credit of the State; for what is due lo tho peoplo of a sister t?tato, who have so kindly initiated tho matter; for what is due to the honor of thc honored dead, lot me in %-ol;e you. Mr. Editor, to urge on this work, so well begun, until thc last, rema ns o? these late, long defenders of your city shall be properly en? closed with an iron fence, and an appropriate monument shall be erected to mark their last n.-sting-pl.-iee, and thus hand down their docds to tho re.uolcst-postority. l?ecauao they foll in a f:illen cause, their memory is none the less worthy of the homage of their country. In furtherance of these views, please publish the following letter from Mrs. Smith, at whoso house, a few miles from Avcrysboro', the battle in which these mon fell, w?s fought, on the 16th March, 1805. Tho most of the slain were of tho two South Carolina Rogimonta of Regulars and Lucas' Battalion of Charleston-three only fr m Georgia: sins, SMITH'S LETTER. OAK GROVE. November 23d. 18GC. Genera! Quattlvbaum, teestille P. O.. S. C.: You will, I hopo, pardon Hie' liberty I havo takon in writing to you again on tho subject of the ceme? tery fer onr brave soldiers. We, the h.dies of the. vicinity of the haltlo-field (near Averysboro'), havo bad all the bodies removed and placed together in a very suitable spot, and are now ready for tho donations for thc "cncVisnro and monument." I wish an iron railing; it is so much hotter; any i thor lasts so short a time. I havo had several letters on tho subject, and they all concur with me in this idea, It will cost moro, of course, but it will be complete. We have an Association formed now. Mayor McLean, of Fayetteville, is om' Treasurer. Chan? cellor Lcsesne, of Charleston, has made us a dona? tion of $50. and lie will receive for us any sum that mav be donatod. There aro threo Georgians, all the rest are South Carolinians ; and, as we have moved them, we have no doubt but South Carolina will complete it if she knew of it, and Georgia, I have no doubt, would do her part. Wc have placed fifty-eight bodies ju the cemetery. I will bo very glad if you would aid us with your injiuence, and in any way von may feel disposed. I am very desirous" that this matter should be generally taken hold of, and I think it is obliged to succeed. Our neighborhood havo done what they felt able to d~. and have done it cheerfully. I can assuro you it is a very great relief to my"mind to know that tho graves of our noble martyrs aro no longer scattered over the land, unknown and uncared for ; and I behove there is still genuine patriotism enough left to secure to us tho completion of this work. We have had them removed for ten miles around. Please have this published in your papers, and do what you can for us. Let mo hear from vou soon on the subject. Yours, Mis. J. C. SMITH, Fayetteville, N. C. WHISKEY FRAUDS.-The frauds discovered by tho Investigating Committee, in New Yrork and Brook? lyn, are said to bo as wide-spread as startling. There has been a universal swindle going on, from the start, in which Government agents ?ro do.tplv implicated. The excuso is, the "difHcultv of find? ing honest men" as Inspectors ! Thero is nothing singular in this fact. Fraud and corruption were boru of the war,-in which cotton-steahng was le? galized by men high in offico, and the contagion Gas spread to its present magnitude by forco of ex? ample.
