The citizens of Wilmington are at work in earnest raising funds to build an iron-clad boat for the defence [sic] of that harbor. The Safety Committee, Messrs. O. G. Parsley, A. J. DeRossett and Wm. A. Wright, call on every citizen of the state to aid in this work. Persons desirous of contributing will address either of those gentlemen.
The ladies of this City are raising funds for this purpose we believe.
