Death in the Camps.

Our volunteer troops have SO far been unusually
healthy in view of the great change in their habits
and their exposure IN the camps. Considering the
humber, they have been remarkably exempt from
Sickness, and the deaths have been very rare Much
Of the sickness must be chargeble to ;mprudence,
and we fear too many who are temperate and careful
at home throw off proper restraints when they en-
ter the camp and consequently become more liable
to disease and DEATH
We regret to have to record the death of three of
our soldiers, who have been called away in few
days. Private Wrighteubury, of the Davis Guards
from Randolph county, died at the camp near this
City on Sunday last and his remains were carried
nome n for interment on Monday. Private Calvin
irexler' Of the Rockingham Rangers, Capt. Settle,
VI inc third regiment near Suffolk, Va, died in
.aup last week, and his body sent home. And the
uo'usoorough Tribune records the death of Private
a" n om'th Of the Goldsborough Confederate Ri.
DeS IN camp near Goldsborough, on the 2sth inst.

This celestial stranger which had been striving
for several evenings to peep through the clouds at
US, made its appearance full-orbed on Tuesday eve
ning to the surprise Of every Its approach to
our planet so far as we are advised, had not been
heralded by the astronomers. So intent are they,
with the rest of mankind in looking after the tan
gled affairs of this mundane sphere, that they must
have forgotten recently to survey the starry heavens
Its appearance was exceedingly brilliant about
quarter to nine o'clock on Tuesday evening, in
north-westerly direction, being about 80 degrees
above the horizon. Its tail extended south heasterly
beyond the zenith. We have not seen so much
tail to any animal for long tine. As the night
advanced its inclination was Northward, and the
tail Southwark Whence he comes or what is his
name, are questions which the astronomers must
answer What is the object Of his visit is beyond
mortal ken. The day has gone by when the appear
ance of comet is alarming Some people however
will see in its appearance just at this time, and its
direction, grounds to prognosticate direful calami

Col. J. Johnston Pettigrew.

A HIGH PR1vArE-We learn that our respected
townsman, j. Johnston Pettigrew, ESQ.,, the eff
cient Colonel of the 1st Regiment of Rifles has OBJ
tanned leave of absence from the Governor, and is
now en- route for Virginia, as private in Captain
Conner's company, the Washington Light Infantry
Volunteers, Of Hampton's Legion. We regret the
temporary loss Of Col Pettigrew from our city, as
his military knowledge has been Of vast Importance
here, during the last six months, not only in the
immediate connection with his regiment which he
has made one of the most efficient in the State, but
with his counsel and advice to those higher in au-
thority As he has left us, however, for time, we
trust to hear speedily Of his promotion to some
prominent position, either in the Confederate army,
or in the volunteer branch he is fully competent
for almost any military Office which might be as
signed him.
The above is taken from the Charleston Eeening
Neps It shows that he is man of the true grit
North Carolina has many sons abroad, but none,
perhaps, superior to Col Pettgrew in learning and
military talent. Our readers are aware that Col. p
rendered his services to his native State at early
day, but they had not been accepted at our last
counts He is, however, in for the fight in the ranks
if need be. True merit like the richest diamonds,
is not discovered by turning up the surface.
