The Camden Volunteers, Capt. Kennedy.—The health of this Company has greatly improved. Lieut. Niles, who has been home since the last of August, having left the company on account of sickness, returned on Monday last, with a full supply of clothing, blankets, &c., for the men.
Capt. Cantey’s Company, we are glad to learn, is much improved in health; and are happy to say have not been forgotten by their friends, the ladies—of the Camden Association. Yet, so far as we are aware, there has been no uniforms sent them from here—owing to the difficulty in getting goods suitable to make up, as the Confederate army has engaged all the mills in Virginia and North Carolina. We hope they can and will be supplied there.
The Boykin Rangers, Capt. H. H. Boykin, have been tolerably well provided for. A number of boxes of articles for their comfort have recently been forwarded to them.
The Kirkwood Rangers, Capt. Shannon.—This fine body of mounted men reached Richmond on the 16th ult., in fine health and spirits, after a march of three weeks from this place. They were received with marked attention during their entire route to the Old Dominion; and we have no doubt will add lustre to the State, whenever called upon to meet the invaders of Southern soil. Their destination is not yet known—whether towards the Potomac or the Peninsular, but are in readiness whenever they receive orders to march.
The Flat Rock Guards, Capt. Haile.—We are much gratified to hear that the friends of this Company, in the upper battalion, with their accustomed liberality, have attended to the wants of the soldiers, by a bountiful supply of needful articles for the approaching winter.
