Wilmington, Charlotte & Rutherford Railroad
   We are requested to give notice that on each and every Wednesday, beginning with Wednesday next, the 23d inst., a car will be attached to the down passenger train on the Wilmington, Charlotte & Rutherford Railroad, which will take, free of charge, supplies for the sick and wounded soldiers and for the hospitals, either at Wilmington or Richmond, the boxes or packages to be distinctly marked with the number of the Regiment for which they may be intended.
   All articles intended for Richmond or Petersburg will be landed at the wharf of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad and will be forwarded on Thursday in the Supply Car sent on that day on said road. Articles for this place will be landed at the Charlotte Railroad Company's wharf.
   Persons wishing to send vegetables or  other supplies will please take notice and have them at their depots in time for the above train, as the usual freights will be charged upon all articles sent on any other train than Wednesday's down passenger train.
   This arrangement will go into effect on Wednesday the 23d inst., and will be continued until further notice.
