An Irresistible Appeal.
A touching appeal comes from
Fredericksburg, Ya.v It is in the
shape of a letter from a ladv in that
j city to a lady friend here and the
(appeal is to North Carolinians-and
j for marble stones to mark the last
resting place of the North Carolina
soldiers who are interred in the
cemetery at that place. There 240 of
these. The remains were gathered
with loving care from the bloody
battlefields of the Wilderness and
when', interred each mound was
marked with a headboard of wood.
This was done through the loving
kindness and tender regard of the
women of Fredericksburg. Those
wooden headboards are now decay
ing and stones are needed to mark
the graves. Of all of the Southern
States Georgia alone has responded
and she sent the stones to mark the
resting place -of her heroic dead.
North Carolina was . appealed' to
through letters written to Oovernoi
l'owle, but no satisfactory response
was received. The matter will be
taken in hand here and it is hoped
that a part, at least, of the stones,
or their value, will becontributedjin
Wilmington. We feel sure that the
response here will be a noble and
a liberal one.
