To (he Sheriffs of the several Counties of
^'orlh Carolina:
IT it* dc'eiued not only desirable but an imperative du
ty, that early measures be taken to accumulate a |
•supply of winter clothing for the North Carolina troops
uow in the field. The scarcity of material for sale in
the t^tafe, and the uncertaiuty of procuring supplieM
from abroad, force us to rely on our domestic resources
It is thouglu that every family can Spare one or more
Blankets without personal inconvenience, or a pair of
VVoolen Socks, and it is believed that for buch a pur
pose a call would te responded to with alacrity.
It has therefore been concluded that an appeal for
j this purpose be made to the great body of the people,
and with that view I have to request the Sheriffs of the
several Counties to net as agents of the State, to solicit
a contribution of this kind.
To this end they are recinested to circulate this no
tice, and cniploy agents in every district of their county
to further the matter.
All contributions of this kind may ba boxed and for

Interestiny Decision Cudtr the Sequestration
^4ci.—The case of the Contederate States against
Wolfl et als., to sequestrate certain debts due by
them to Elkers k. Brother, alkged to be alien
enemies, was called up yesterday in the C. S.
District Court, aud Judge Halyburton delivered
Hargrove, ^ his opinion, indicating his purpose to dismiss the
petition. Th« particulars of this novel case are
as follows: Isaac Elkers, a native ol Prussia, emi-
; grated to this country many years ago, resided in
: Mobile, Ala., for a long period, where he took out
his last naturalization papers in 1S4U, Heestab-
I lished a large clothing store in Mobile iu conjunc-
j tion with hig brother, aud aitorwards, in 1853,
' removed to New York and there established a
■ branch house ol trade. He married in New \ ork,
I bought a residence there, and voted there at the
Presidential election ot 18*)0—voting against
Lincoln, He frequently visited Mobile from 1851
to 1861, and continued a partner in the Mobile
, house. In 1861, immediately after the proclama-
! tion of Lincoln, he shipped a portion of his goods
i to Mobile and closed the New York house, but
i remained in New York until September, 1861,
■ when he returned to Mobile, and took the oath
^ of allegiance t j the Confederate States in Novem
ber. His family remained in New York, he al-
! leging that, in consequence of ill health, and for
other causes, he could not remove his family South.
It was argued in the progress of the case that
the defendant was an alien enemy ou and after
the iilst of May, 1861, and that his citizenship
■ in New York continued until September, when
he removed from that State, aud that no change
i of citizenship after the commencement of hostiii-
, ties between the Confederate and the United
States could protect the property ot an alien from
I the sequestration act.
The decision of the J udge in Elkers’ favor is
based upon the fact that he had closed his busi
ness in New York before the commencement of
j hostilities, and that his’removal from the North
! was effected as soon as he could do so after clos-
I ing his business. In view of these facts aud of
! the present loyal status ot the party, the Court
' decided that his property was not liable to se-
{ questration.
j District Attorney Aylett stated that he would
take the matter of appeal under consideration un-
j til Monday, and ou that day would announce
whether he would appeal from the decision of the
Court.—Kichuiond Dis^atchy WtU. .
a true word a^o/cen in Jtst.”—In one of
his late letters, published in the Milton (N. C.)
Chronicle, that redoubtable genius, “Jesse Holmes,
the l ool Killer,” has the following paragraph:
“Among the latest acts of my maulings was a
I chap who almost wore his lungs out crying for
^ iuiuiediate secession, aud when secession came,
: and war with it, he held back under preteace that
' his business was such he could'nt leave home!
' The truth is, he was afraid. Another chap, of
: the satiie kidney, I caught noseing about for a fat
ofhoe before he could volunteer. I have slaugh
tered legions of these “immediate” larks who were
going to play the devil with tho Yankees if war
followed secession; and some of them that “pitch
ed iu” managed to “pitch out” as soon as they
smelt gunpowder. Iney sneaked out by various
ways—some by one “ailing” and some by another;
and some by getting a little civil appointment at
home. But sincti 1 was born I never heard of so
many ailiugs that didn’t aeem to impair the phy
sical man a bit. The hardest case, however, that
1 have had to chastise, was a clamorous Secesh
gent, who had buainess South when the first tap
of the drum for a volunteer eompany f^l upon
his ears. They say he hid in a barn as he saw
the man approaching to solicit his name, but be
ing found, his excuse was that he had business
iu the South that wouldn’t let him do it.”
