CAMP BEE, (NEAR SMrTHFIELD,) VA,
August %, 1861.
Mr. EDIToR: No doubt the readers Of your paper
in North Carolina would like to hear from the fourth
regiment Of North Carolina volunteers. The regi-
ment left Suffolk on Saturday morning the 10th in
slant The weather was warm and dry, and we suf-
fered very much. A few of the soldiers became ex-
hausted and were compelled to stop on the road
We arrived at Providence meeting house, five miles
from Suffolk, about ~ o'clock, where we took din
ner After eating we travelled with much more IA
cllity than we did in the forenoon. When we ar
rived at the residence of Col Phillips, again had
to halt (Which pleased much, and partook of the
Inequalities extended to by the venerable old
gentleman. After we bad "feasted we continued
line of march until about nine o'clock, when
halted in an open field for the night. Weared and
exhausted, we sunk down upor the ground with no
covering but the sky above US, (havng hired carts
to carry our knapSacks,) and nothing under us
cept our cartridge boxes and canteens, which we
used for pillows. At day-break we again started
without eating any supper or breakfast, and did not
eat any thing until the afternoon. We reached our
encampment between IL and II o'clock Sunday
We were so wearied that we did not pitch tents
until the evening. The name of our camp you will
see at the head, being named after Gen. Bee
believe the soldiers tolerably we'll satisfied
with their new encampment, Il have not heard any
complaint) although they regretted leaving Suffolk.
We are encamped at Bedgoods Church, about six
miles from Smithficld and two from Burwell's Bay.
Two companies detailed from this regiment to
guard the Bay and Stone House Wharf They are
changed every week. | do not know the distance
between the two points The Arson Guards and
Cleaveand Blues detailed for that purpose this
week.
The health of the regiment at this time is very
good. The boys are IN fine spirits and ready any
moment for a fight The Inspector General visited
our encampment on Tuesday last He well
pleased with the drilling of the regiment but I'M
derstood he said accoutrements were not very
good-our cartridge boxes and tents being infe-
rior article
Three men from a company are allowed to visit
Smithfeld every day. Col Daniel is now in Rich
mond 1t Col Lovejoy in command. The wealth
er is delightful and bracing

Old honest Abe, you al e babe,
In. military glory;
An arrant fool, party tool,

Dictator now, and in row,

AT all the South, with foaming mouth,
Decoyinguf the niger.
You know its so-at fort Monroe
You put them all to labor,
Whom you declare, as free as air,
Your equal and your neighbour.
Why treat them so? ,'tis wrong you know,
When Butler doesn't need um;
Some future day. we know you say,
You'll give them all their freedom.
What is your plea, to set them free?
They cost four thousand million;
You cannot pay that debt u say,
You everlasting william.
But you are boss, mighty boss,
snOrtin in the stable;
racer too, Kangaroo
So whip US if you re able.
You proclamate to MS of late
1.-THE ports all blOckaded,"
"The forts retoOk." at Sandy Hook,
And Charleston cannOnaded.
That's your intent, as President,
curious plan to save us;
But we'll be free. as yen will see,
With Beauregard and Davis
"Old Mr.. Link, what do you think"
About those Southern cattle?"
What horn'd you 20. where're you On,
And whipped you every battle.
. Your brags you made. you would invade.
And whip the Cd Dominion;
But You will fail, and tuck your tail,
is Beauregard's opinion.
If Scott and Wool shOnId at us pull
Across the country level;
Wen meet them there, and 6ght them fair,
And thrash them like the devil
To Wool and Scott, we'll never squat,
But one thing you'll discover;
"That Wool will Ay," aud Scott will die.
Before be whips his mother. (Virgina,)
Keep on rour shirt emo body hurt"
With us yuu must Lot trile;
Or you'lI catch hell, with shot and SHE'LL
And the Kentucky rifle.

Person, is not correct as to you
am Mf. Woody's agent here and have made
several efforts to get payment for his horse, but
never went to you but once, which was about ten
or fifteen days ago. and you then referred me to the
Board of Claims, stating that it was doubtful wheth
er could get payment at all in consequence of the
endorsement on the account by Maj. Ramseur, that
the horse was not suited for service.
The memorial was drawn and Mr.. Woody's name
signed by Mr.. James ii. Moore, Clerk of the House
Of Commons, who volunteered to prepare it
After it was written he read it to me and told
him that so much of it as represented that had
gone to you and that you had referred me to Mr..
Guon, was incorrect and ought to be stricken out,
as had not been to you but once about it His
reply was, "Oh, never mind, l only want the sub.
