“DISAFFECTED” RANDOLPH—In a late publication, by Capt. Garrett, of the contributions to our troops, it is stated that the 63^rd regiment of Randolph, Col. Worth, contributed at one time 25 ¾ yards of wool cloth, 3 blankets, 19 quilts, 23 shirts, 13 pants, 19 drawers, 3 towels, 1 vest, 116 pairs socks, cash $62.30. These things were contributed by the people who are said, by the Raleigh Register, to be “disaffected” to the government. These are the people who, in the opinion of the Richmond Enquirer, are not “patriots.” That paper wants the “patriots” of the State to speak out against the “disaffected” in our midst. Let that paper look to its own State. There are thousands of traitors in Virginia to one in North Carolina.
