Parties" who subscribed but whose bonds or cash have not yet come to hand, will find their names in a sub sequent acknowledgment, as tbe Agent it directed to make periodical acknowledgments through the papers. Among these is tvery handsome dona tion of several thousands of dollars from gentle men in. Richmond county, which will be stated as soon as the merchandize they contribute! is sold. These gentlemen, namely : Hon. Walter S. Leake, Col. Leake, Dr. Steele, Rav. Mr. Lsadbetter and J. Bhortridge, Esq., are already acknowledged as .Trustees. Occasionally the papers have stated a certain amount as collected in a certain locality, and the sum of the acknowledgment from that county doaa not equal the reported Btatemwnt, for the reason that gentlemen from other counties were present and their donatidns were included in the general statement, whereas, iatlm report they are assigned to their several counties. It will bo seen that comparatively few of the counties are vet represented. Laborious "as have ben the op erations of the Agent, tbe time" has not allowed him to go over the whole State, but it is proposed that every county (not in thSenemy's hands) shall do visuea, mat every citizen miy nave an oppor tunity to contribute to this noblest of all patriotic charities ever submitted to the people of North Carolina.

Pemberton has issued an order to the paroied army of Vicksburg, of which the fol lowing is an extract : The President has entrusted to my discretion the granting'of furloughs to this army. Never did the country require the services of her defen ders more than at this time. . It was the Presi dent's most anxious desire that this army, wiiich ha3 distinguished itself by a gallantry and endu rance of hardships almost without parallel in de fence of the most important point in the Confed eracy, should ba kept together, and, by an imme diate exchange, meet and defeat the enemy upon a u equal field. Many of you have been long ab sent from your humes,and I fullysympathize with you in your natural desire to see those you best love. The President has yielded to my applica tion, and you are permitted to visit your homes for the longest period tho country can possibly dis pense with your services. Some f you will -remain' at home a lorrger and some a less tim. 1 give each and ail ot you, who desire it, a levo of absence for thirty days from the date of the pro mulgation of this order. I confidently hope that not one man of tho army of Vicksburg will be found absent from his poet at tho expiration of this period. Afterthe expiratim of the thirty days the command ia toJo reassembled at Damopolis, Ala., where it will bo armd and equipped to meet the enemy. Thornbuby Plantation, Near Garysburg, N. C, ' Atigu?t 4tb, 1863. ) . John W. SymK Esq : My Dear Sir: The raid upon W'ldon brought me here very suddenly. Tho escape t f Weldon wa3 very narrow. Had Gen. Ransom boon as slow 'as some "of our commands, nothing ooull have saved the bridge from baing destroyod, and. this whole country from bein? ravaged Ljss tbah half an hour preserved it. Gen. Ransom had not; time to detach "his horses from' hi guns fceforcUhe attack began by the enemy; wbo, un ir n ac ivo leader, had galloped op for several miles, white Gen. R. hgd to meet the attack at first with only 5 companies and a section of artillery. It is cr fectly wonderful to witness the neglect of so im-t portact a position as Weldon, by the authoritie.1 and to note the apathy, of life inhabitants about? here previous to the raid ; but since they hav met them fate to face, since they lisve .'seen for themselves their conduct, their roDberios, (even of the negroes, their watcho?, clothes, fcc J) their ly ing treachery, and their unbridled lccealiousness, which" was committed in broad day and 'in the yards, of private houses, etc , etc., they have all bpcome "secession"and are for fighting to tho last, to keep out uch people from their country. 1 think, could the inhabitants of Wake Rowan, Randolph and other counties who now. run their faith upon the Standard, once experience a Yankee raid, thejjp would reject 07ermore U teachings with coo1 tempt, and turn from any kkid of rtc instruction wilhffhorrorr death were preferable. ..Ilnd G n. rRansSrH commanded even but 500"civalry in adi. anion to nis lorce, ne couia Bravo capiureu-a large portion (f the enemy on their r t-er,', &i they god drunk ; but the General had to do his own scout ing with his staff, being the only ' cavalry'' hf had, and lucky he "did so, otherwise cur forse must have been surprised.

The Commanding (lenerul calls upon all soldiers to rejoin their respective regi ments at once. To remain at honie in this tho hour of our country's need, is unworthy tho manhood of a Soutfiern soldier. While you proudly boast that you belong to tue Army of Northern Virginia, let it not be said that you deserted your comrades in a contest in which everything you hold dear is at stake. The Commanding General appeals to tha people of the States, to send forth every man able to bear arms to aid the brave soldiers, wtio have so ofton beaten back our foes, to strike a decisive blow for the safety and sanctity of our homes, and . the independence of our country.

They design to iucite ser vile insurrection and to light tbe tires of incendiarism wherever they' can reach your homes, and they de bauch the inferior race, hitherto docile and contented, by promising indulgenQO of the vilest passions as the -price of treaehery.
