Mr. Nance will start next Tuesday, 23d inst., for the Rangers, and will take such packages of clothing, etc., as may be left at this office for members of that regiment. In order to secure the transportation, people must furnish with their packages, $8 per pound freight. Should this prove more than enough, whatever is over will be handed to Rev. B. F. Bunting, chaplain, for the benefit of the sick. It was deemed best to put the freight at a figure that would secure the expenses of the trip beyond contingency. Several hundred pounds of freight have already been brought in, and there will be no doubt of the success of the matter.
