Raleigh Register.
That will depend upon circumstances. Such
straw for instance as the Register is, does not.
Even its friends cannot tell from it, which way the
wind blows Another Old saw is. however, more
descriptive of the Register. 1t runs thus, 1.-THE
money makes the mare CO."
But why should falsehood be manufactured to
make something out of a straw? 1t was quite as
convenient to tell the truth. We published simply,
as an item of news, statement from a respectable
paper, the authority Of correspondent, that the
Confederate States Governmen: did not fire salute
on the reception of the news of North Carolina S
secession. We simply said it was strange. And
the Register has it. that we took it in high dudgeon,
and thence proceeds to reiterate falsehood which
we fully exposed and nailed to the counter in Cur
somewhat noted Card Of May llth. Has Mr. Syme
forgotten that Card? The public have not; and it
knows how utterly groundess the charge is.

The First N. C. Resiment.

The Richmond Examiner, of the 14th, pays the
following tribute to our gallant Regiment:
"Honor those to whom honor is due. All our
troops appear to have behaved nobly at Bethel buta
the honors of that day clearly due to the splen
did regiment of orth-Carolina, whose charge of
bayonels decided It, and presaged their conduct on
many more important field. Virginias solemn
sister is justly jealous of glory; her simple, honest
courageous population weary of the grand silence
of the forests of pine, they have out to fight
with deep determination to make their mark,
which both friends and foes have yet to fathom.-
Of this occasion North Carolina may be content
No forced praise and empty compliment are neces-
sary now: for every statement of the facts, made
no matter by whom, or how brings out the steady
tves in light too clear to leave any place for error
cause for regret, except that the foe neither
would nor could await their advancing line of steel"
The Richmond Dispatch has the following:
The noble North. Carolina Regiment, at the bat
tie of Bethel Church, covered itself and the Old
North State with glory. MAJOR Hill, of that regi-
mcnt, is one of the most thoroughly educated sol
diers and scholars of the South true and gallant
gentleman as ever brcathed. |. was eminenty
proper that North-Carona, being the next State
South to Virginia. should stand side by side with
the Old Dominion in this battle We commend it
to Old Abes consideration whether even if he could
get through Virginia, he will not find the North
Carolina Jordan, next door to US, "a hard road to
travel?"

Erig. Gen. Hill.

The military authorities of the State have pro-
NOTED Col. D. H. H the brave and able COM
mander of the | st n c. Regiment of Volunteers in
Virginia, TO the rank of Brlgadier General for his
galantry and skill in the battle at Bethel Church,
Va, to take effect from the 10th of June 1861.
Honor conferred on one so deserving meets with
universal appreciation.
The Petersburg Express contains the following
sketch of Col. Hill:
Col. D. H. HML-This able and distinguished
officer, the gallant and skillful commander of the
First Regiment of North Carolina Volunteers. which
fought so bravely IN the recent battle at Bethel
Church. is destined to win envable laurels in the
present great struggle. If we permitted judge
his future by the past we certainly must accord to
him great renown, for surely no man ever laid
stronger basis for great and brilliant reputation
Graduating at West Point with honor when about
the age of twenty-five, he entered the U. S. Army
and remained in it until after the close of the Mex
can War. He was in the army under General Scott
from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico, and greatly
distinguished himself in some of the hard fought
battles of that campaign. At The stOrming of Che
pultepec he was the second man on the American
side that mounted the ramparts. For his meritor-
ous services in this war he was promoted to the rank
of Major, which he afterwards resigned to accept the
chair of Mathematics in Davidson College, n. c.
He discharged the duties of his new position with
great zeal and fidelity. Notwithstanding the ardu-
Gus labors that now devolved him, he found time
to write and have published large work on Alge-
bra. which was favorably received. This work
excited some remarks at the time, account ofthe
intense Southern spirit which breathes in some Of
its problems
In 1858, when the North Carolina Military Insti-
tute was established at Charlotte Col Hill was ap-
pointed to the first place in its Faculty, and devoted
himself with his accustomed energy and ability to
the instruction Of young soldiers for the Old North
| State.
| Upon the commencement of hostties between
| Abraham Lincoln and the Confederate States he
| was appointed by Governor Ellis to the command
of the Camp Of Instruction at Raleigh. When the
First Regiment of North Carolina Volunteers was
organized, he was almost unanimously elected its
Colonel
COL Hill has not devoted all his talents and genius
to mit ry science. He is the author of two Theo-
| logical works, VIZ: "The Sermon on the Mount, ="
and 1.-THE Crucfxon." These works were pub
lshed two or three years ago by the Presbyterian
Board of Publication, and were well received in the
Christian literary world Col. Hill is truly Chris
tian man. and if we mistake NOT, is an Elder in the
! PRESBYTERIAN Church at Charlotte.
In person, Col Hill is about the medium height
and well proportioned. He has dark eyes and hair,
| which is becoming slightly tinged with grey. lie
is about forty-two years Old has serious military
bearing, and is a very rigid d!sciplinarian.

- We know how to estimate the low and mali
cious assaults which the Editor of the Register is
constantly making On US through the columns of his
paper and we can afford to treat such assaults, from
such source, with seorn and contempt But in
the name of this community we denounce him for
his gross and malicious assaults on MIR. Badger
That venerable patriot and statesman has never
wronged the Editor Of the Register He only voted
against him for Convention printer, he had right
to do and for this, and this alone, he is rdiculed
and maiigned in the columns of the Register.
The Editor of the Register is the most malicious
individual we hase ever known. The only one pun
ished by his maliceis husself 1t harms no one but
the unhappy individual who churns his own venom,
and plies his wits to devise occasions for gratifying
his malignant feelings through the columns OF his
paper His wits, did we say? His wtC) is as
stale as decayed sour-krout.
Mr. Badger, We knew, does not regard the Editor
We feel sure that he has not even read any of his
