The WIND is from the North East anG we feel bilious
enough to say something bitter it possible for our
amiabe temper to yield to the impulses Of aspery
1t not being possible, simply brush off obtrusive
fly and proceed to notice some other little matters with
just about much and little feeling in the
we bestowed upon the obtrusive insect.
We see that somehow our old friend Of the Iarboro
Soherner has given an insertion to foolish and whn
ing communication which appeared some weeks ago in
the Raleigh Register the signature of Friend
to Truth and Justice" 1t is apropos of some casual
remarks in the Journal in reference COL now General
Hill. The writer is rather doubtful about the religion
and religious bef of the editor of the Journal who
would adopt in reply the words in which similar i'm
pertinence was once before answered. We have none
to talk about" We confess however that We are not
unrequenty reminded by such persons of the Pharsee
who thanked God that he not other men, nor
even as this pubiicaa.-(or publican read editor) A
common cant with the guid.
The Newbcrn Progress has some leer remarks about
paryism and nopartyism, and appears to have some
thing to say in regard to some recent remarks OF ours
the subject of the Vice Presidency The Progress either
could not or would not unders and u.s. so, of course
there is no harm done.
The Greensboro Patriot has an article rejoicing over
the election OF Messrs. Davis ard Dortch an Amer
lean victory coupled with the regular slang Of he very
btterest days of the order" We had thought that
such things, if finally buried yet inappropr
ate to the present crisis, that it would require bigger
fool than the State contained to reproduce them Al
this time
But we were mistaken all the fools are not dead yet al
is evidenced by the thing to which have just referred
We had notion to indulge in some remarks in re

The editor OF the London Weekly Dispatch is no
sloucb not he, when it comes to putting the pepper
on" From an article of the l2.h of August, column
and half long, in which be merciessy peppers the raw
sore of the CALLED jade of Northern pride and vani-
ty, take the following specimen pinch of the hot
stuff. If the London man was in New York he would
drive Bennett and Raymond distracted with envy Of his
superior Safeguarding capabilities:
While blatant Yankee fools have in Paris been boast
ing OF their sympathy with the despos of France and
Russia, and in New York have been bowling for war
with England while they have been beating their breasts
like gorilas to lash themselves up to feroc and brag
ging and Boosting enough to make monkey puke, y
the Souherners have said nothing preserved their dig
nifty by wise but eecual reticence; have quiet
y blown up the Times correspondent with c0nardS and
bosh, letting him apparently everything and really
know nothing and steadily pursued the policy we have
frequently ioreshadOwed OF pretending to retreat until
they had led the invader into Southern territory
that they might rise up behind them. The result is an
gnominous defeat OF the vaporng gascons of the North
within sight Of their very capital in great pitched bat
tie, and demonstration of the utter unreality of the
pretensons and the entire boowness and reachery Of
all the appearances and demonstrations of the Federal
lists.

highly intelligent gentleman, who left New York
few days since, informs that the financial condition
Of the North is aught but encouraging. The stock of
specie in the banks is rapidly diminishing, and
tile say that the people there boarding their
money 1t is estimated that thirty millions OF dollars
have already been thus secreted The Treasury notes
put out by the Lincoln Government at seven per
cent interest, rapidly returned to the banks 1t is
the opinion of the best judges that these institutions
will have to suspend all the North. Trade is
at stand still. large majority of the commercial
houses have already failed and there is hardly day but
some one of them topples to the ground.
The voluntary enstments for the army of the North
have ceased Drafting has already been resored to in
New Jersey, and will hereafter be the only mode in their
power of recruiting their armies. At present the va
cances by deaths and assertions exceed the number of
voluntary enlstments Conscription is now their only
resource 1t is plain enough that army thus consti
tuted is not to be depended on.
Our informant thinks the peace party is gaining
ground, although free speech and the freedom of the
press have been suppressed would that the in
uence of the Catholic church is hostile to the war; and
these, with the commercial classes, make the basis of
strong peace party The war, the part of the Re
pubicans is becoming every day more and more plainly
upon slavery and the opposition rayiDg upon
this ground Such is the substance of the account de-
rived from gentleman who left New York but week

By GENTLEMAN just arrived from Fort Macon via
New bern, learn that Monday morning there were
vessels of any kind in sight from Fort Macon or from
any part of the banks occupied by troops
We understand that information has been received in
Newbern and believed there to be reliable that Major
E. =. Hall, of the 7th Regiment n c. State Troops,
who is stationed in Hyde county, has captured some
tweve native traitors who had gone to the banks
and taken the oath, and had returned to the mainland
to act as Lincolnits spies and emssaries On their
persons found documents addressed to the author
tiles and people of Newbern, Washington and other
towns, requesting them to 6fer opposition to the
advance of the Federal troops into the interior of the
State, promising that if opposition was offered by
them they would not be molested The men have been
detained in custody and the documents forwarded to
Head Quarters
Certain movements are talked of at Beaufort to the
details of which do not feel at liberty now to refer

need not insist upon the reading public giving the pre-

WESTERN VIRGINIA.-'Lhe most exposed and, if we
may be allowed the expression, precarOus field of

avowedly hostile frontiers on the North and West
semi-hostile on the South West, and contains
doubtful population in its own bosom. It's
supplies of manufactured goods of all kinds are
scant while its more Northern latitude and higher
elevation above the level of the mpart to its climate
Southern States.
Our forces in the section referred to- are already
suffering for the want of blankets and other ar
ticles necessary to protect them from the night
frosts which have already shown themselves both
on the line of the KanaWha, in Centre West and on
that of the Cheat River in Northwest Virginia AL
necessarily suffer less but much as those
of Wse's Legion, who, made up of men from almost
every county in Virginia, and almost every State in the
Confederacy, have no distinctive State Or county char
acter, and therefore are deprived Of participation il
the provision made in many cases by States or coun
ties for their troops. If, hen State or county actor
does not reach this case some other organization must
be appealed to,
We understand that an effort is now on foot, under
the auspices of the ladies of this place make pro
vision for these, our suffering soldiers We trust that
may meet with full measure of success as how can il
fail when the ladies take it in hand? little can b.
given by those who cannot give much Those who fee
able can give just as much they please. Be ready
when called upOn.

was a graduate in West Point, was in the Mexican
war, and is a native of Kentucky. A correspondent
makes the following complimentary notice Of this expe
reneed officer:
The gallant Capt. G. w. Smith-a native of Ken
lucky and soldier educated at West Point-after
long residence in the city of New York arrived in
Richmond on Wednesday, and has already left for Man
assas In former times he was the friend and compan-
ion of Gen. Mcclellan by whom he has been regarded
as one OF the best officers of the Old .. S. Army At
West Point be was the special avorte of ALL and in
mathematical genius regarded as of the most dis
tnguished. For gallant deeds and soldiery bearing
under Gen. Lee in Mexico he was honorablv promoted
1t 49, however, little singular that Mcclellan was
president OF railroad cOmpan in the West and Capt
Smith Street Commissioner " of the city of New
ork and that they are now likely to cross swords as
his office in the Empire City, Capt Smith discharged
with ability satisfaction to all parties and rreproach
