4 SUNDAY IN CAMP Aq=F0RKFowN.

One OF the most encouraging and gratifying
facts connected with the first Regiment is the de-
voted attachment which all the men cherish for
their Colonel. Col. Hill deserves it all. The au-
thor of those admirable religious volumes, The
Sermon on the Mount" and "The Cruci6xion of
Christ" carries his high christian character into
the Camp.
letter from an officer in one of the Fayctte-
Vile Companies gives us description of ad-
dress of Col. Hill at Yorktown, Sabbath two
ago:
yesterday was emphatically day of rest to US
all We had only to undergo an inspection Of
arms and attended dress parade yesterday evening,
which was light days work. At night we had d
good sermon from Mr. Yates. our Chaplain, ard
plenty of good singing After Mr. Yates had fin.
ished, Col Hill gave US fine address, full of ad-
vice and counsel every avord Of which was exact
ly fitted to his hearers. He has cut off all spirits
of every kind, and not drop is to be had in camp;
he is down on profanity and told us last night,
that he knew that many regarded swearing as
sort Of necessary attache soldier; that il gave
emphasis and ecat to the speech, but he said ono
greater mistake could be made; that for his part
he would be afraid TO trust the who had to
bolster tup with whiskey and profanity" The
God-fearing, moral soldier the man to depend
on He spoke Of Washington, Cromwell and 9TH
of like caste, and said they are the men to be
successful; that the enemy seidom saw the backs
Of such men. He told us that three times since
We had been in this Camp, the long roll had sound
ed, and We had promptly answered, expecting in
few hours to meet the enemy, and risk our
chances of success. He said he would, however,
venture to say, that under these circumstances,
many of US had called upon God for help who had
neglected to do SO while thy frtt secure. lie APP
realed to them to know if as soldiers and fair
this was reasonable and proper. He appealed to
the moral men in camp, to let their influence be
felt said that few might scoff and deride at first,
but they would be few, and if these did their
duty, in all the varied scenes Of camp life, these
scotfers would see it and hang their heads in
shame. Thus he went OH for halt an hour not
man left his place, not word said, and save
the constant coughing of the sick, we had perfect
silence. l confess this will give you but poor
idea Of the best speech ever heard, taking the
time, place add circumstances into consideration

The following letter was written By an off
Ger of the 9th Ga Regiment. at whose requess
we publish il. The Georgians are doing their
whole duty in this war
Mr. EDITOR: l would do injustice to nv
true Sentiments, should we leave the Newberrr
Hospital, without offering to the citizens and
cspe clally the ladies our walmcst thanks for
the more than liberal attention received at their
hands
1t inspires the soldier with double courage to
meet with such hospitality from the fair hands
of those heretofore perfect strangers. Add to
all this. the able and prompt attendance of
good Physician administering promptly TO such
as need medical treatment, and we will chal-
lcnge any city or town in the Southern Con-
federaey to go one step in advance, OF New
bern.
All that we have seen to dislike is that We
are not allowed to rema in at this place, as we
| honestly think our services will be as much
needed here as where we are going. 1t would
| be pleasure to meet an enemy and reason
with him at the point of the bayonet, coming

White Flag.

We learned from parties up on the train yes
terday morning that some fishermen near Cape
Lookout, having made a lucky haul Of fish,
raised white flag, as their custom is, and the
Federal bloekading ship seeing it, immediately
lifted anchor and made for the shore. The
fishermen, seeing that they were coming lit
tie nearer land than they desired, hauled down
the flag, whereupon the steamer hoistcd a
white flag and sent squad ashore, who de-
manded to buy some fish, saying that they
were willing to pay for them, but the fish they
would have anyhow. Of course they got
them.
While the fish trade was going on, they
took occasion to enlightcn the isherE,en by
telling them that their business on the coast
was not of hostile nature but was intended
in kindness to carry out the wishes ofa major
ity Of the State by supprcssing rebellion and
taking it back into the Union where a majori-
ty of her late members to Congress disire1 it
to have remained.
We are not apprised as to the effect pro
duced on the fishermen.

The Town GOu,.c.i.

The editor of this paper being confined at
home few days by sickness was handed note
by Mr.. Eestal, which on perusal he found to
be an insulting epistle from the Town Council
Now the editor aid proprietor of this paper is
responsible for all his acts and Tor the manage
ment of his business, whether by himself or
by his agents and he would most respectfully
ask the Town Council to attend to their own
business and let this paper and its editor alone
We want none of their advice nor will we have
any of their insolence without resenting it. If
the Courts or the Military Authorities desire to
suppress the publication of this paper for its
bold and fearless course, as Lincoln has sup
pressed the New York Nelcs and other decent
papers in the North, they can do it, but we de
f. the Town Council They cannot and shall
not do it. Let them as individuals perform
their duty as citizens and the Progress will
have less to complain Of
To the credit of Mayor Lane be it said he
has been active and has performed his duty
ever since our troubles commenced, but as to
the other six, though ''young and able-bodied,'
not one Of them are in the service though they
all have property and families to protect a
nice set of men truly to accuse us of rendering
laid to the enemy Mr.. GARNER, one of the
members of the board, is absent in Europe,
and were he here we are sure he would do his
duty, but there are other members of the board
who have done nothing but talk, nor, i'll our
opinion, will they, though we can see no
reasonable excuse for their being out of the
service
The Mayor deserves the thanks of the com
munity for his energy and efficiency in the
matter Of local defenccs but as before said, We
have vet to learn that the Board has done any
thing beyond talking. We pay no attention
to their requests while defy their com
1nands. The paper will be conducted hereafter
as heretofore, with an eye single to the good
of the public, but with no regard to the wishes
of the Town Council.
We own no stocks in New York--never did
Don't think all the members of the Council,
who presume to instruct us how to conduct
our paper, can say as much. Can all of them
take up arms if they would without forfeiting
property owned North?
OF course the Board will kick up at this, but
then we have to say to them ifthey will cease
their ns0lence to us (their note is insOlenD we
will take no more notice of them. They have
brought it on themselves.

The Frankfort Legislature calls the Ken

by Last Nights Mail.

But little additional news by the mail last
evening. The following from the Richmond
Examiner of yesterday indicates some division
of sentiment among our counsellors as to how
the army on the Potomac should act:
''Various reports, more or less authentic in
the circumstances in which they have been OBJ
tained, have reached US of intended operations
on the line of the Potomac. While we have
been careful to observe proper reticence as to
any details of this subject, it is not improper,
and, indeed, it is due to the public interest to
mention that we are fully assured of the exis-
tence of an embarrassment, at present, in the
operations on the Potomac. We can see no
necessity for any embarrassment of a military
nature; and if as reported in semi official cir
cles, division has been manifested i'll the Cab
met, as to the respective merits of an active
prosecution of the war, or its continuation ''on
the defensive" the people should be advised OF
it, SO as to demand its instant correction"

elsewhere. All quiet on our coast as far as we
know.
