THE RECENT TRIP or THE BaooKLYN.-The
Norfolk and other papers are endeavoring
to represent the return of the United
States steamer Brooklyn to that port
from Charleston harbor as backing
down and ignoble retreat of the officer in
command, because the Star of the West was
fired into by the batteries OF Morris Island.
This only shows that they do not know what
they are talking about because it is as clear as
the sun at MONDAY that the mission of the
Brooklyn was not to Charleston at all, but to
intercept the Star of the West, and counter
mand her orders to land troops at Fort Sum
ter. Arriving off Charleston, and learning from
a little schooner, which proved to be kind of
spy craft, that the Star of the West had already
arrived there, had been fred upon and returned
to New York with the troops, the commander
OF the Brooklyn, having nothing further to do,
at once put about and returned to Norfolk.
This is the simple story of the Brooklyn's
cruise. She was not despatched on mission
of coercion, but the very contrary Having no
business at Charleston, nor any orders to pro-
coed thither, she Of course returned to her
original station.

'TKuE HEARTS. - Hearts are of several
kinds, and Of widely different natures.
First, there are walled-up hearts. and these
are Of TWO different kinds. About one kind,
the wall is high and strong, and to sur
mount it, is work Of extreme difficulty /;
but if you get inside, you have entered
Eden. Fragrant, and sweet, and fair, as
the visions seen inidfeams, IS that inclosed
garden; and it is worth hard labor to gain
admission there. 80 s.ls4 azA .sat
The other has q wall as high and strong
and fully as hard to get over; and when at
last, with torn flesh. and dislocatsd joints,
you have scaled it, you wish you hadn't,
for there is nothing inside. but rocks and
cold water. The trouble with these two
descriptions of hearts is. that tits impossi-
bic to distinguish the one from the other
until. you have almost worn yourself out
climbing the walls, Z Z. =.
Anoiber kind of heart is that which,
having nothing to fence it in. lies open to
the passage of all men and cattle; waste,
uEfruitful field, of no use to anybody, and
lees to its owner. =
But there is another kind of hearts
reres oeesLioh, buE d <feae-one whose wall
is low and almost hid by flowers. The birds
make their nests in II. and sing as they
swing upon it's swaying twigs and festoon-
ing vines. Beyond the wall. itself thing
of fragrance, beauty and Coy = lie the en-
chanting gardens. Delightful bowers invite
the way1worii traveller to enter and repose.
Spirits of love and beauty beckon the sad
and lonely ones 70 the feast of souls and
charmed light and glory hover on the whole
joyous air, This is the true type OF heart.

The First Regiment.

By request we very cheerfully insert the proceed
ings of the officers in this Regiment Yorktown.
They are rghtfuly jealous of the future reputation
of the First North Carolina Regiment of Volunteers.
The facts, however, need word of explanation,
which we take the liberty of giving without the
knowledge of Gen. Martin. The distinction made
between State Troops and Volunteers did not orig
nate with Adjutant General Martin. When he came
into Office he found that the numbering of State
Troops J. 2, 8, &C., and giving similar number to
Volunteer Regiments, was producing confusion both
in his office and among the people. When We dis
covered that he had changed the order regretted
it, because saw that it would produce discomfort;
out we concluded that the Adutant General had a
reason which fully satisfied his mind of its pro-
priety, hence We made no remark upon it.
When the Legislature met, dissatisfaction soon
manifested itself with the new arrangement. Capt.
Slade, of Rockingham, at early day offered bill
requiring the original plan of numbering to be re-
stored. 1t occasioned some discussion. The gen.
eral sentiment was that plan should be adopted
by which the 1st Regiment of Volunteers and the
9th Regiment of State Troops should in any wise
be robbed of their well earned honors. We recol.
lect that Major Yeates, of Hertford warmly insisted
that if it were deemed absolutely important that the
Regiments should be numbered consecutively, that
on adopting that method of numbering, the 1st
Regiment should always be known as the first and
the 9th Regiment the sirth.
The result was the bill passed requiring that in
numbering the regiments of State troops and the
regiments of Volunteers they should both COM
mence with the number one and 60 up regularly.
The same idea also incorporated III the Militia
BILL
We conclude, therefore, that the order of the Ad-
jutant General complained of by the 1st regiment
above, was issued from his office prior to his being
advised of the provisions of the law Gen. Martin,
we take it. is law-aoiding man, and that he will
most readily conform to the provisions Of the law
and the general wishes of the officers and soldiers
of the regiments we have no doubt
