Ladies of Gonzales County

A correspondent informs the Telegraph that the ladies of Gonzales county have raised the handsome sum of $11,100, to be equally divided between Waul's Legion and the Terry Rangers. If the ladies of every county in Texas would do as much for the Texas troops, they would certainly be amply supplied with all they want. But such evidence of the devotion of the ladies of Texas in their behalf, even independent of the relief afforded, would stimulate them beyond all other considerations, to encounter every peril and endure every hardship in behalf of those whom they thus see laboring day and night to supply all their wants.
