Take Notice!

Take Notice!
Owing to the presence of large number of troops at
the forts ard elsewhere in this section, we would
call the attention of the Farmers and others
throughout the State to the fact that large demand
exists here for produce and that they can find ready
market here for good Beet, Bacon, aud other things
in the way of provisions.
WE WOULD direct attention to the Sequestration
Notice issued by Sobn L. Holmes, Esq, Receiver
under the Sequestration Act for the district composed
of the Counties of New Hanover Brunswick Columbus
and Bladen.
The notice is an important one, and should be
scentously responded to by all whom it may concern.
It is right that the law should be carried out in the
spirit and in the letter. and to do this the more eecu
ally and satisfactorily the hearty cooperation of the
public is essential
WE WITNESSED yesterday afternoon, company drill
and dress parade at the parade ground of the camps of
the 18th and Both Regiments also the evolutions of
the field battery under the command OF Captain Moore
The regiments will make very fine appearance when
fully armed and equipped. They composed of excel
lent material, as was apparent when drawn up in lire
on dress parade.
The Artillery movements, by their accuracy and ra-
pdity attracted much attention. We understand that
competent judges have spoken of their drill in the high
est terms of commentator. We could wish that some
of the horses looked better than they do.
Capt. Towards Cavalry company also out, and
after performing various manuVres on the parade took
position where they could accusom their horses to the
reports of the guns The Independent Guard added 20
the display, which might almost have passed for gene
raj review, although general officer present that
we know Of
We RECEIVED this morning communication signed
Cumberland" and written by friend resident in that
county, expressive of preference for Mr.. Mcdowell
of Bladen as candidate for Congress- should that gen.
tIeman take the field. He will see by Mr.. McDowels
card in todays Journal that be has consented to be
considered candidate.
YESTERDAY we repubshed from the Norfolk DAY
Book extra. the report of fight said to have taken
place at Sewell Mountain in Western Virginia between
Generals Lee and Rosencranz, with an account of a
great victory said to have been gained by General Lee.
In publishing this account we expressly stated that it
was more than doubtful 1t turns out to be no longer
doubtful, however. 4 fight may occur at any moment
but none occurred at the time spoken of in the report
nor had any occurred at the latest dates. We think
that when anything does that line we know
how and will receive perfectly reliable private
account.
MEssRs. WILKINSON AND MORSE are making salt on
WrighsviIle Sound an average of about II bushels
every tWentylour hours. They work only four hands
in the day and at night. They sent US about peck
this morning. and it looks 20 be equal to the Liverpool
ground, aud we learn from Mr. Wilkinson that be has
tried it in sailing down beef aud that it is equal to any
splf foraiCs in
salt at the market price, which is ST. so per busbe.
We LIKE General Beauregard as much as any
body, but must confess that we fear the growing up
Of feeling of jealousy between the cotton States and
the Vrgnians from causes sue as are to be found 10 the
ezaaton OF Beaugard, il not at the expense, least
to the neglect and exclusion OF bis senior officer ard
equally able and patriotic cOmpeer, General Johnston
to whose noble sell denial at the battle of Manassas
more credit is due than to bis bravery or abi
ity so conspicuousy displayed then and before. By
virtue of seniority Of commission he could have as
sumed the command but be magnanmously waived it
refusing 10 interfere with the arrangements or detrac
from the glory of bis gifted brother soldier with whom
he co-operated on the field and has continued to ac
since, in harmony and without assertion of superior
rank. We may cry uiue Ia BeauYeguTd"' but why
not also Hurrah for Johnston "? There is no JUS
reason and yet that ten references are made tt
Beauregard, where one is made to JOhnston-that tht
face of the Creole General meets every turnlook
out upon from between the covers of magazine, o.
stares US full from the sheets of Beauregard March
Quckstep. We have companies named after Beaure
gard-the Beauregards," the " Beauregard Invinci

The people in Virginia rather think that the member
of the present cabinet beng nearly all from the Cotton
States the President and Secretary of War certainly
and are, they give better chance to the general
from the extreme South than to those from the NOR
Northern Confederate States, especially those from Vir

VIZ ARE pleased to learn from the Richmond paper
that President Davis is very much recovered iron
his recent ndsposition and that nothing stand
in the way of bis perfect restoration to health but hi
unceasing attention to public business.
Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Johnston recently met with
startling accident by the running away of the horse
attached to the Carriage in which they were taking al
airing in the vicinity Of Richmond none Of the occu
pants of the carriage were seriously hurt.
Gsa. We repubish from the New York Herald c
the 24th Lncolnte account Of matters and things
the coast Of North Carolina. Of course in all that
says about the people of Hyde, Beaufort Craven an
other counties we know how far it is untrue, and tia

on in the State. North Carolina is perhaps the mo;
fixed of all the States of the Confederacy that sh
