The Old Union.

We concur with the Western Sentinel, that "no
matter how much we may have loved the old Union
and the government of the United States while it
was administered according to the Constitution and
the laws that Union is now severed forever and the
government has become an engine of oppression in
tyrants hands,"
There traitors to the South in Virginia, Ken
lucky, and Tennessee, but we trust there are none
in North Carolina If there are, let them beware
He that is not for the South in this contest is against
it; and he who would encourage our deadly enemies
in the effort they are making to trample us down
and destroy US, deserves to die traitors death.
There can be no halfway ground now. We have
been a devoted Union man, but, much as we loved
the old Union, we love North Carolina more. That
Union is dead 1t will never revive or be restored.
The Confederate States will triumph in this war and
establish their independence. If there be any per-
sons IN this State who prefer the old Union to the
Confederate States let them leave at and take
shelter under Lincoln's government. If they re-
main here and plot against the South, they will be
visited with swift destruction.

a chief agent and ingredient in carrying on the
In the North it is charged that officers and soldiers
are greatly demoralized by its excessive use. The
disorders and bad health which prevail among them,
attributed in great to its indulgence.
This is what might reasonably be expected. Many
of their chief officers are boated swtubs, and are
by consequence as savage as barbarians. We have
been sorry to hear much fear expressed in reference
to our own officers and men in the South from the
same cause. In some cases we know it is not true.
Many of our officers and men are strictly temperate
and sober men. Nothing more disqualifes men to
be safe officers soldiers than the excessive of
Intoxicating liquors. If an engineer on rail-car
or a steamer should be sober, how necessary is it
that a commander of a company, regiment, brigade
or division should be. Let drunkenness be BAN
shed from our army. The sooner the better.

SUFFOLK, Va, July goth 1861
Mr. EDITOR The startling events transpiring in
the vicinity of Manassas and Winchester, bias, for
the tme turned the eyes CT the people of the South
entirely away from this section of the Old Dominion
but / shall be much disappointed il this state of
things continues much longer. l have all along ex-
pected, that when the move made that We
should be attacked by the vandal forces at several
points about the same time. This has been the
opinion of most of the people of this State And
now that fighting has commenced in earnest, in an
other part of the State, look for move i'll this
section every hour The Yankees, l think, will
hardly like to encounter the gallant Magruder and
the brave Hull again. and will next try the South
instead of the North side of the James. think we
will be ready for them at any point they may select
Since the date of my last, nothing of much inter-
est has TRANSFERRED among the North Carolina soldiers
stationed in this section. The 4th Regiment is be-
coming more and more perfect in drilling, and every
day more and more ready to encounter the enemy.
Every thing is moving on smoothly in camp. l am
sorry to have to report considerable number on che
sick list and two or three of rather serious
character. Several of them most sick have been ia
ken to private houses and nursed with much atten-
ton and tenderness by the ladies. In the Office OF
an Attorney in the town. who is absent in the army
two of the sckest of the Regiment are carefully pro-
vided for Suffolk and her fair daughters will long
live in the memory of many of the soldiers of the
Sd and 4th Regiments who have been sick here.
The Sd Regiment have removed again. and are
now encamped at Benn's Meeting House, about 8
miles above Smithfeld. They are now in an intel
lgent hospitabc part the county of Isle of Wight
where they have good water and pleasant camping
ground. How long they will remain there will de-
pend much upon the movements of Abe's mnons

Since the date of my last, the Yanceyvillc Greys

morning for Smithfield.
The weather has been very warm for few days
past and drilling and double-quIcking has not been
pleasant to many of our soldiers who have here
toore been accustomed to the comfortable shade and
mountain breezes of the upcountry, and yet word
of complaint is heard. The Volunteers of the South
have entered the service expecting to endure hard
ness and are determined to go through without muir.
