14TH N. c. REGIMENr.-We are requested to state
that special messenger will leave this City in a
few weeks for the camp of the 18th Regiment Of n
c. Volunteers, (Col. Clarke's) now in Western
Virginia. All persons who desire to send boxes to
that regiment can have them forwarded by sending
them to the care of James NJ. Towles Esq, of this
city. Let them be carefully packed, properly Ia
beled and all expenses paid up to their delivery to
Mr. Towles. The transportation from this city will
cost the donors nothing.
The suffering condition of this regiment demands
immediate help. Will not their friends in the diff
ferent counties promptly respond to their pressing
call?

Army Messengers.

Many persons are anxious to send articles to the
army, but frequently gentlemen who arc going do
not let the public know when; consequently many
are prevented from sending what they desire. We
doubt not if Gov Clark felt that the law authorized
him to do so, he would gladly appoint one OF more
Army Messengers who would take charge of all the
articles sent to soldiers and deliver them in per-
son at the various Camps, and whose arrival and de-
parture at given points in the State, would be made
known Could he not do so under the resolution
passed by the Legislature? fnot, let him take the
responsibility, and the whole State will commend
him for it. The desire is very generally felt that
whatever is sent to the soldiers should be under the
immediate eye of some responsible Agent, who
would deliver thin in person.

RALEIGH SATURDAY, OCT. &c, 1861.
The State Press.

The war is bearing more heavily, perhaps, upon the
pecuniary condition of the newspaper press in this
State than upon any other interest. Of the fifty
two or three papers in existence before The war be-
gan only about thirty alive, and about one hall
of those issue half or diminished Sheets The cause
of this is the want of adequate patronage. This is
partly natural consequence OF the war, which OF
course the profession must bear with as good grace
as possible, but many Of newspaper Offices suf-
fer severely because Of the preference which is given
by our own people to sensation papers Of other
States and to the disposition on the part of officers
Of the State and of the several corporations, who
have large amounts of obwork to dispose Of to give
it TO favorites or to establishments not identified
with or interested in the of the newspaper
press.
This is a serious error and should be corrected.
Every newspaper in tht State is a common servant
a mack horse for the public. No portion OF the com
nunity does so much work for the public gratis, as
those connected with the newspaper press; and we
hold that the obligation on the State and commun
ty is imperative to support it. What single agency
has done so much to arouse and lnspirt our people
to carry on this war vigorously, as the press? And
vet few think of the Importance Of sustaining this
enterprise.
We have had intin,ations that several others of
the newspapers of the State almost ready to sur
render to the pressure of the times. Last week We
were sorry to see the Register, the oldest paper in
the State, appear with diminished sheet. This
state of things should be corrected The Standard,
we are happy to say has seldom had better sub
scrption list than now and business is prosper
ous but we would be glad to see it general. We
therefore urge the people to rally to the support of
their own State papers.
