last grain they can eparo for the support of the

to come from some souice, and as North Carolina

to do all ehe can. Read Captain Ven

Our friends of the 10th and 19th Regiment!

for the J'resa by sending us one hundred anJ

subscribers from other Regiments in the servicc
from this State, but the IOth and 19th outstrip

T0THECITIZEN8 OF ABBEVILLE DISTRICT.
I have been sent among you forth* purpose
of procuring corn for the army of Northern
Virginia. It iB an ascertained fact that there
is surplus corn enough to support our armies
until the new crop is gathered, but it is slso
certain that there is uo more. If there was
snough in Virginia and North Carolina, South
Caroliua would not be asked to help, but she
is aslced and earnestly too; to do what she can
for us. A recent letter front, the Quarter-Master,
to whom is assigned the duty of furnishing
General Lee's army with corn, says that
very thing depends udou an ?nn_
