A Meeting of the citizens of the county
Of New Hanover will be held at the Court
House in the Town Of Wilmington, on
Tuesday evening, August 9th, 1851, at 8
o'clock, for the purpose of taking into con-
sideration measures essential for their own
security, as well as for the interests of the
county, in the present crisis.
A full attendance of the citizens Of our
county and of all others who feel an inter-
est in the Southern cause, is earnestly So
icited, as business of the gravest Importance
will be brought before the meeting, espe-
cialIy in view of the early meeting of our
State Legislature, which will be on the
18th day Of August.

Some observations from the Other Side.

The Baltimore Exchange has dispatch from Wash
ipgton, which says that Mr.. Russell OF the London
Times whom we are forced to class with the other sde
and who was present at the battle of the 2ls states
that the loss in killed and wounded Of the Federast
must amount to 12OO0-and that the loss of the Con-
federates will probably reach 4OOO He states that
history records no such defeat for che past century-no
rout so utter and complete that Of the Federal forces
The fighting of the Southern men, he says was agnif-
cent They fred with the precision of veterans They
would fall to permit their artillery to fire. and then ris-
ing discharge their muskets ard charge bayonets in
splendid order Some of the evolutions were superb
and performed with perfect rapdy, GOODNESS and dis
cipline.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia Enquirer
says =" We should judge that ten thousand guns and
rifles were lost on the way, while the cartridge boxes
bayonets sabre bayonets and swords were nnumerabs
We may quote more fully hereafter, when time ard
space permit 1t is proper to say here that even Ben
nett has changed his tune and throws the blame
precipitancy on Massa Greedy. All the Northern &C
counts give General Beauregard force that he woulC
like very well to have. They multiply the Confederate
forces engaged by about three.

WILL NOT the authorities at Richmond be doing a
good thing if they will send down this way few OF the
handouts for Southern men, captured at the battle OF
Manassas after the defeat Of the enemy? We think that
sight of them would speak louder than words and go
farther than arguments in convincing and arousing
those individuals end sections of our State who still
cherish the idea that the devil of Sewardism Lnconism
and Black Republicansm generally is not so black as
he has been painted They will show that the spirit
which now controls the action of the North is backer
than imagination could have painted it.
We want about hundred here to ornament public
places and send round to the Court Houses of adoin
ing counties Can't we get them? We are serious
about this.

1t Is all wrong


The disposition of the people of each of the States
to claim all due credit for their own is natural and
so far right When it degeneraes into disparagement
of Others or the assertion of claims for distinction at
the expense of others, it is wrong We have noticed
this thing growing up rapidly or rather, we have no
ticed its existence from the first and now only remark
that its display becomes conspicuous as the oppor-
tunities for such display become larger.
Even in giving an account of the victory at Bethel
Church. as gallant, though of course not as extensive
an engagement as Manassas Junction, the Virginia
newspapers, or great many of them, dwet only on the
Richmond Howitzers or other Virginia company,
dsmissng the chief actors in the scene the North Car
DINA First with hardly mention, while one paper the
Richmond Examiner, ignored the whole affair, and al
most refused to believe it, after the enemy had acknow-
legged it. Is possible that Interstate jealousy had
something to do with this.
The South Caronians are brave people, and South
Carolina fairly deserves the sObriQuet of "lhe Game
Cock State but really to read the accounts IN her pa
pers and the letters therein published from the seat OF
war, one would be led to suppose that she was near
about all in ALL and that with few exceptions, the rest
of mankind outsiders, shining teeby by re-
Aected light, for which they were indebted solely to
their association with Carolina"
The truth of history will probably assert ITSELF and
whether it does or does not to the details we will be
satisfied if the broad fact of Southern Independence
can be firmly stamped upon its records. But in the
meantime, the sort of seltglorifcatiOn and Incl
dental desparagement of others to which we have al
Iuded is calculated to do harm. 1t must work badly
1t cannot do otherwise.
We expect to hear that our soldiers from this sec
ton will WELD the sword, the musket and the bayo
net with irresistible force for they do not permit
themselves to be diverted from attending to theil
military duties by any exercise with the pen. II
plain terms, they go of promising to drop line nov
and then to our address, but they don't. North Caro-
Inans refuse to blow their own trumpets, which il
right enough but the other hand it is not necessary
to hide all their lights under bushel.
