GOLDSBORO', 24th NAV. 1884,

DEAR SIR | have seen in your paper of
last week, notice of the arrival of my friend,
Lieut. Moye, and myself, and an intimaton
that you would probably hear from one of US
before your next paper. You had right to
expect it of me, and feel it is due to your
readers, many of whom have relatives serving
in our Regiment. But | have been prevented
from addressing you sooner by the state Of
my health; nor am now able to write such
a letter as is satisfactory to myself. 1t must
needs be brief and imperfects
am informed that you have already pub
lshed every movement OF the Regiment, until
our arrival in the neighborhc I'd of Camargo.
The five Companies, viz: Wilson's and Dug
gan's, Edgecombe Roberts, Wayne; Shive's,
Cabarrus; and Blalock's, Yancey, formed a
battalion, and were encamped at Matamoras
about two weeks. The two Edgecombe Com
panies were ordered up the river in a steam
boat, and FIVE days after. the Wayne Compa-
ny was sent up in charge OF three steamers,
laden with Quartermaster's and Commssary's
stores. AT the Rancho. San Francisco, we
found our Edgecombe brethren aground, fast
in the mud. They were consequently obliged
to land and encamp We; the Wayne Com
pany, proceeded with our charge to Camargo,
and after landing our cargoes were ordered
back to San Francisco, to reinforce Captain
Wilson, as there was much excitement along
the river, and bis position thought dangerous,
