subscribers of the Ledger until he returns, when he
win enlarge the paper and make it a flag under which
the South will be proud to rally. The Boys left in
charge of the Office say, that though the Editor has
gone, he has left a family at home for them to support,
and hopes a generous public win rally to their aid
They will! 1.-THE Flag OF the South will not beneg-
lected by the wealthy and liberal people of Wilson and
counties adjoining. They WILL take care of the wife
and BARNS of the gallant soldier Editor.
The Tarboro' Mercury is also reduced in size-also
the Greensboro Times-Editors and most of the
Printers have volunteered.
The Warrenton News has had to suspend until Prin-
tiers can be procured to supply the place of those who
have gone soldering, which he hopes to accomplish
very soon.
Eight or ten journeymen printers belong to the
Companies of this city, who will leave soon and may
cause some difficulties among publishers in Raleigh.
The Banner thinks the Legislature ought to prohibit

road Nandsy Wes~r fhey WILL go; ard ifnot
allowed to join Comtdnies at home, they will go else
where and do so.
Editors of the following papers belong to Volun:
teer Companies already received by the Governor
viz: Williams of the Oxford Leisure Hour; Waddel

Times; Smith of the Tarboro' Mercury Burton o
the Mountain Eagle Saunders of the Salisbury Ban

Editors, who will make good use of their shooting
sticks, y and demonstrate that the sword is as might
as the pen, when drawn in defence of the rights an
honor of their country.

KY We call attention to the Card Of
John T. Foard, Grocer and Commission
Merchant, NewberD, n. G. We understand
that be is one of the few who has refused
to sell the Groceries and Provisions he had
on hand. at higher figures than he asked be-
fore the war panic. All honor to such a
mamie will do to be trusted under all cir
cumstances. We trust the Farmers Of the
up-country will remember him, when they
have produce to send to market on commiss-
ion, and also when they have occasion to or
der Groceries and other things for their
home and plantation use.

AND now another days gone by,
AND let the sable curtains fall,
Which darken earth, and light the sky,
Half round this old revolving ball.
And as nocturnal hours roll on,
And the town bell now is telling
The hour nine, / am here alone,
In this old lonesome dwelling.
Where many days and nights were spent,
By wanderers in days of yore-
Where many a transient resident
Did come and go, long, long ago.
And where l too, in years by gone,
Full many a happy day have seen,
When pleasantly the time went on,
When friends / had to be with me.
But time rolled on, and friends are gone,
And now tits a duh place to me.
I'm lonely here, from eve till morn /.
No friendly voice doth greet my ear.
The barking dog, and huntsman's horn,
The rat and mouse a gnawing round
/ hear, and hear no other sound
But bark hush list! what's that / hear
On my lone ears there now is breaking
Around these lonesome walls a tapping.
But my friends, don't be mistaken,
| don't believe in spirit rapping.
And as the night is growing late,
III change my theme, or wind it up;
For what / had more to relate
Inow forget - III give it up.
And soon I'll bid you all good night,
And off to dreamy land I'll go.
And when | next begin to write,
I'll tell you all - and tell you more.
My fire is low, and cold the air,
My candle down is burning,
And TO my couch I will repair.
And dream a better day is coming
At the old hotel -, good night.

Patriotism and Temperance.

There Is scarcely any incident connected
with the rallying of the embattled hosts Of
the South, that We have noticed with more |
pleasure, than That many entire Companies
have taken . pledge not to use intoxicating
beverages during their service in the army
A Correspondent Of the Petersburg Express,
wiring from the Encamprnent near Raleigh,
says each man of the Oxford Greys " has
signed a temperance pledge, to be binding
until our present job is completed, viz: the
possession of Washington City. We wish

man Scott q uorm salutaticn"

says:

be lowering near the coast of Virginia and
North Carolina. What for? every body asks.
1t is believed with no ~unfrendty intentions

MTsrEKIoUs.-Afew days ago the US. steam
mer St Lonis left Pensacola Bay suddenly,
and has not been heard from since. 1t is
reliably reported that all of the officers and
crew of the ship are in full sympathy with
the South, and that her Captain, Mr.. Pore,
of Virginia, had taken her to some SoutherE
port and delivered her up. We shall hear
more of this in a day or two

North Carolina Troops.

Every day, the Military Camp near this
city is added to by the arrival Of hundreds
of brave, ~stalwart men, who have rushed
with patriotic alacrity to their country's call.
And the " cry is still they come'-from
the east and the west, the north and the
south-from every section of North Carolina
they come, eager for the fray. There are
about two thousand encamped at different
points, undergoing drill and exercise that
will give them efficiency and power on the
field of battle. We have no fears but the
gallant soldiers of North Carolina will quit
themselves like men when the time of con-
fist comes
The First Regiment of North Carolina
Volunteers has been formed, consisting of
the following Companies, viz:
1. Orange Light Infantry, Capt. Ashe,
9. Warrenton Guards, Capt. Wade,
3. Hornets Nest Rifles, Capt. Williams,
4. Enfield Blues, Capt Bell,
5. Lumberton Guards. Capt. Norment,
6. Duplin Rifles, Capt. Kenan,
Z. Charlotte Greys, Capt. Rose,
8. Townsville Rifles, Capt. Miller,
8. Granville Greys, Capt. Workman,
10. Columbus Guards, Capt. Ellis.
The Cadets Of the North Carolina Military
Institute at Charlotte, (S5 in number) a no.
| BILE set of brave, well disciplined youths, are
to be attached to this Regiment, with the
, consent of their parents and guardians, which
will no doubt be cheerfully given.
The Order of the Adjutant General, com
handing the organization of this Regiment,
says:
The Seat of War is the destin ton of this
s Regiment, and Virginia in all probability will
e be the first battle ground. The services o
the Regiment will not exceed six months, bu
the men should be prepare to keep the field
until the war has ended.
The Regiment will be moved into Virgini;
as soon as possible, but will not be led int
,e battle until the Field Officers are of opinion
that the men are fit for such duty.
The cause Of Virginia is the cause of Nortl
Carolina. In our first struggle for liberty
she nobly and freely poured out her blood i
our defence, we will stand by her now in thi
our last effort for independence.
Before this paper goes to press, it is prt
a bable this gallant Regiment will be in Virgir
ut ia. The Companies belonging thereto, WI
n hereafter be known by the numbers respe'
~ lively attached to their names.

MkEYLAND-There seems 10 be little
doubt but that Gov. Hicks of Maryland, is a !
doublc-dyed traitor to his S ate and the South.
He is evidently in league with old Abe, and
is known in Washington as a vegullr MEM
Der OF the black republican party. In every
way m his power he is lending his enesgies,
to commit Marylandto Linco.n's government.
But we mistake the stuff of which MaYylan-
ders are made if they submit to this isnoble
bargain and sale of themas slaves to the Alb
as a traitor to Maryland yet. The Baltimore
American calls upon the Legislature to sub
NIT the question to the people as to where
they will go-whether with the north or the
south. If Hicks and the Legislature VIII not
do this, the people of Maryland should do as
the Texans did-take the matter in their own
hands, and act for themselves.

ton OF the City, to Washington. What next
from BaItimore5
MIssoURL.-Goy. jackson of Missouri seems
to be acting a ike tr .itorous part TO thu
South. The slumbering vengeance of The
Missourians are arousing and the day of ret
r1bution Is close at hand They will moi

of their dastardly Executive. We expect tc

soon. Bates of Missouri, and Blairof Mary
land, who occupy seats in Lincoln's Cabinet
will not be permitted to return to their homes
in six months from to day.
sES- The blood of Tennessee seems TO b.
fully aroused. A vessel containing SI75, 00C
worth of munitions of war, belonging to tina
State, have been seized by Lincoln's robbers
on the river at Cairo, and provisions an,
goods of every description, belonging to pri
vate citizens, have also been stolen. A larg,
army has probably before this marched upor
that point, for the purpose of crushing til,
scoundrelly robbers, and we expect to hea
of hot work there very soon.
Tennessee is also sending thousands o
troops to Virginia, to be in at the Washing
ton City Carnival.
Kentucky is doing likewise, and her peopl
are determine I'd to stand by the South. fhoue
some OF her politicians may still Trate abou
compromises with the devil.

- We devote alarge portion of our columns to-
day, to tie important and exciting war news, 10 be
informed of which, every one is now so deeply inter
ested. We shall continue to keep our readers fully adj
wed oftRe movespents oftAe armies north and south,
SEd kSinteres. We shall nof
ignore the temperance and literary features of the pa.
per, but in these war times shall devote more space to
news than usual.
To do this, we shall be subject to heavier expenses
than ordinarily. All the necessaries of life are ad-
vanced greatly, and we shall have to pay very high
prices for everything we consume. Business being
so generally suspended through the country, we shall
have very little advertising or job printing to do-and
thus two of our best sources of profit will be cut off.
Owing to these circumstances, several papers have
felt compelled to increase the price of subscription to
their papers.
We hope we shall not be compelled to follow suite
and to avoid it, we call apon the friends of the paper,
to interest themselves in procuring new subscribers
to it, and inducing old ones to renew. Every body
now wants to read the news, and no one can get an
other weekly-paper printed in the South, of the size
of the Spirit of the Age for the low price of ONE
