On our recent visit we found this regiment, many
of whom we know personally, in excellent health,
with the exception of some cases of measles. The
officers strict, they should be, but not tyran-
meal or harsh. The Colonel, 1t Colonel, and Major
have all received military education and the Colo
mel was for three four years in active service.
They appear to be very we'll fitted in every respect
for their positions. The list of Captains too, is
composed OF first rate men and soldiers. Indeed,
the men of the 4th have to be proud of their
officers
The hospital is under the superintendent of pri-
vate Cook, of the Raleigh Rifles. We wen: through
it, and were satisfied that he was performing his re-
sponsible duties carefully and efficiently. We heard
the Surgeons spoken of in terms of commentator
They are said to be skilful and attentive We had
the pleasure of meeting the Chaplain the Rev. Need
ham Cobo. He is an earnest, kindhearted man,
devoted to his duties. He takes deep interest in
the bodies we'll the souls of the men, and said
to be especially attentive to the sick We know of
no field in which minister of the Gospel can be
more useful than in the camp The Rev. Mr.. An
drews, Chaplain of the Sd regiment and the Rev.
Mr.. Fitzgerald Chaplain of the 3D. also indefati-
gable in the discharge of their duties and much be-
loved.
The I'd regiment, stationed near Norfolk, is CON-
posed ofthe following companies: Company A, Capt
B. o. Wade, Warren. Company B, Capt George
Workman, Granville. Company C, Capt Thomas
S. Kenan, Duplin Company D, Capt ]. Fulton,

Major, Augustus W. Burton Adjutant John c.
Pegram; Qlartermaster, William j. Aston; Com.
missary; William 7. Arlington, Surgeon, James
johnson; Assistant Surgeons, P. W. Young and
John Miller; Chaplain, F. Fitzgerald. Non-com
missioned staff, Thomas j. Foote, Sergeant Major
B. F. Powell Quartermaster Sergeant; Samuel T.
Williams, Commissary Sergeant. COL Williams has
received fine military education There can be no
doubt of his superior qualifications for his position
Col Cantwell was in service in Mexico and he, with
Major Burton, Will no doubt ably second and sustain
the worthy commander of this regiment in every
emergency. The I'd is encamped in fine grove
near Norfolk, nearly surrounded by salt water and
cooled by pleasant sea breezes We visited the en-.
campment in company with David A. Barnes, ESQ.,,
of Northampton. The welcome we received was
most cordial from the 4th regiment, and will not
soon be forgotten. We also met our old friend, Ell
der R. D. Hart in Norfolk. He has two SOUS in the
Granville Grays and several relatives in the other
companies. He is almost constantly with the I'd
regiment, and is no doubt doing good by his exam
pie and advice.
While in Norfolk we met Lieut. Duval of this
State, who, after much exertion, occasioned by a
want OF foresight and promptness the part of the
authorities had succeeded in refittng and getting
his steamer, the Beaufort ready for sea- She is 90
by % feet, and carries 80 FOUNDER and 25 men.
He went out though the Albemarle Canal, and is
now cruising off our coast Lieut.. Coleman was
also in Norfolk. From the same cause which hin.
dered Lieut. Duval in his efforts he has failed thus
far to obtain suitable vessel. Coleman, like Duva
is true and brave man. Such men should have
employment at once
We had the pleasure of meeting at Suffolk the
venerable Thos G. Broughton of the Norfolk Her.
Gh and the Rev. W. B. Weons, of the Christian
Sun We are under obligations to Mr. Wellons for
many attentions shown us while in Suffolk
Special Notice to the Soldiers.
