tributed by Mrs. SMITH, with an iron railing; anderecting a suitable monument in memory of thegallant officers and men who now He biuied there.In order to create suflicient public interest to guar¬antee success in this undertaking, tho committedwould simply invite tho attontion of our fcllow-citizons throughout thc Stale, and especially thoseresiding in Charleston, to the following communi¬cations, and sincerely trust it may novcr bc justlysaid that South Carolina was found wanting in
sympathy with those who would gladlyjoin in hon¬oring her own distinguished dead.For (he convenience of those of onr city who may
wish to contribute even thc smallest amounts, sub¬scription lists will be left at thc offices ofTUE DAILYNEWS, Mercury, and Courier respectively.
JULIUS M. RHETT, CÍiairmau.Thc following is thc call of General QUATTLE-
DAUM and the letter cf Mrs. SMITH, referred to :
THE CONFEDERATE DEAD NiiAIi AVZH'-SIIORO', NORTHCAROLINA.
Mr. Editor: Several months ago I made knownto you and thc numerous readers of tho NEWS a
proposition of Mrs. Smith, and other ladies ofNorth Carolina, to have all thc Confederates who follin battle near Averysbo-o' md still lay buried wherethey fell, taken up ¡md rcinterred in one commonCemetery; tb bc properly enclosed, and tien havoasuitable monument erected to their memory. Thisgenerous, patriotic .lady offered to donate not onlythe ground, but to render all thc assistance in herpower tc carry cut this Iaudablo obiect, and askedtho aid and cooperation of tho ladies of SouthCarolina, as well as thc relativos and friends of thedeceased generaHy. As theso troops wore mostlyfrom Charleston," where (hoy had, for full fouryears, stood moro invincible" than walls of stoneamong the bravest of its bravo defenders, neverfor a moment faltering, even under tho terribleshower of iron hail to which they were exposedfrom Inc opening lire on Fort Sumter to the pain¬ful evacuation of thc city, presenting themselvesat all times as barriers* between thc innocentinmates within and their inveterate enemieswithout, uulil thc order came from a quarter whichthey, as soldiers, were bound to obey, und thus,for lite first time, turning thoir bâcles upon theirhomos and tho many loved ones left behind, to stilldo battle for them in distant fields-1 repeat it, asthese were tho troops who scaled with their life'sblood their unswerving devotion to a causo inwhich Charleston fully sympathized, from thcrising of ¡tsmorning star to" thc going down there¬of-i did hope that the reasonable request of thcfair daughters of thc .Old North State-to do just,deserving and becoming homage to these noblemartyrs-would receive a ready and willing re¬
sponso from their more Southern sisters. Nor canI believe otherwise than that, when tho lvdios andcitizens of Charleston learn, from too subjoinedletter of Mrs. Smith, that tho good peoplo ofNorth Carolina have performed tho first and mostdisagreeable part ol t his very commendable work-that of collecting together tho dead bodies-andnow only want a few hundred dollars to completethe cnclosuro and monument, they, too, will readi¬ly contribute thoir part. It only roquircB somo
organized plan, with generous, patriotic ladies ofCharleston at its hotel, to make this matter suc¬ceed.You may do much to aid tho schomc through
thc instrumentality of your paper, and by a littleprivato advice. For Hie credit of thc State; forwhat is duo to thc people of a sister State, whohave so kindly initiated thc matter; for what isdue lo tho honor of tho honored doad, let mc in¬voke you, Mr. Editor, to urge on this work, sowell begun, until the last romans of these lalo,long defenders of your city shall be properly en¬closed with an iron fence, and an appropriatemonument shall bc erected to mark thou* lastr.'sting-plnrc, and thus hand down their deeds tothc remotest posterity. Because they fell in a
fidlen cause, their memory ts nono thc less worthyof thc homage of their country.In furtherance of theso views, please publish tho
following letter from Mrs. Smith, at. whose house,a few milos from Avorysboro', tho battle inwhich the'so men fell, was fought, on thc 10thMarch, 1803. Thc most of tho slain wore of thc(wo Soul h Carolina Regiments of Regulars andLucas' Battalion of Charleston-tlirce only fr mGeorgia: I

Iwish an iron railing; it is so much better; anyctlier lasts so short a time. I have had severalletters on thc subject, and they all concur with mnin this idea.

I nm very desirous that thismatter should bo generally taken hold of. and Ithink it is obliged to succeed. Our neighborhoodhave dono what they folb able to tb, andliavo doneit cheerfully. I eau assure you it is a very greatrelief lo my mind to know that tho graves of ournoblo martyrs aro no longer scattered over tholand, unknown and uncaredfor ; and I boliovo thorcis still genuine patriotism enough loft to secure tons thc completion of this work. Wo havo hadthem removed for ton miles around.Please havo this published in your papers, and
