a NEW OFFICE

1t is confdentiaIy rumored, in certain circles,
that on the fourth day of March. the time for the
MEETING of the Council of State, and the dav on
which Senators aud other great men take Office
and go out of Office, the Editor of the Register,
known as the Nv. r. G." Washington Cores
pond"n of that paper, will resign his place on the
Literary Board. preparatory TO his receiving, at
The hands of the Captain-General, the honors of
another Office, to be expressly created for the
man and the OCCASION The office proposed to be
created is that of P4f:IMaster General to the
Whig forces in this State, with a place in the
Capt1in- Generals Staff; and the gentleman look
cd to by all best fitted for the post, is the Edi-
Tor Of the Register.
We learn however, that certain strict consruc-
tiOnists, well as all evil disposed persons gen
orally, have vcnturcd to express doubts as TO the
Captain Generals power to create such an Office
but such doubts, we feel confident, will be remov-
cd from all honest minds, when it is remembered
that during the last summer that dignitary as
snmed the power to appoint Field Officers to the
N. Carolina Regiment 1oitAout authority of LG,0.
And surely, if the Captain-General can in one
case disregard the law and appoint an Officer,
in another case, where the law is entirely silent,
he create an office and bestow it his friend.

There were at that time seven full companies and
two detachments and since then the Yancey
Company, not full, has arrived, which has been

There are now nine full Companies, including
the two from Edgecombe, which have already
sailed. This leaves the Regiment short one Com

the Companies ictter. En- our next we shall be
able to state all the particulars In the meantime,
we will state that two more vessels have been

rather the other seven Companies, now at Smith

Mr.. Badger certainly did wish the downfall

he should take all proper measures to accomplish
that result"
Thank God Mr.. Badgers "role" will count
no more than any other mans in North Carolina !;
and as to his uoicc that has been so often lifted
up against the cause of Repnbcanism and good
government, that it is least regarded where it is
best known
Again Mr.. Badger said:
Personally, however he wished the President
no HARM He could utter that prayer Of the
Church, health and prosperity in this life aud in
the world to come life everlasting"
In all matters Of taste Mr.. Senator Badger is
no doubt competent judge, and he can sec for him
self how proper it is that he should represent the
praying and Mr. Mangum the anordr' portion
of our people in the Senate Of the Union but if
Mr.. Polk were dependent for "heaith and pros

Ringgold Artillery, the Cossacks, and the Wake

these Companies presented quite an imposing ap-
pearance. faese
At Meeting of the Ringgold Artillery on
Friday evening last, Second Lieutenant G. G.
Nelson was promoted TO the First Lieutenancy,
(made vacant byshe resigna,iono Of Lieut.. Single
tary, who is now Lieutenant IN the New Hano-
yer Company of Volunteers) and Sergeant Hall
was promoted to the Second Lieutenancy. Lirutan-
ant Nelson is peculiarly fitted for the station as
signed him, by his knowledge of military tactics
and his suavity of manners; and in saying this it
is not intention1o detract in the slightest de.
gree from the merits of Lieutenant Hall. We
hope this Company will continue 10 prosper.
