CREDIT TO WHOM IT is DUE:-We take pleasure in &C
knowledgng frequent obligations to the Wilmington
Daily Journal Petersburg Express and Rchmo Dispatch,
for the Geographic intelligence published in tk-r columns.
These papers urn s the latest news and ndspensa
BILE not only to the public but also to the press in the
terror.
We take the above from the North Carolina PreSby-
terrain, Published at Fayetteville and adopting its cap
tion wish to give credit also where it is due This no
tice from the Presbyterian is almost the only recognition
we have had from presses which take news items
many of them telegraphc, and all carefully coated edi-
torialy, without the slightest acknowledgment The
Journal is the only paper in North Carolina that re-
guary takes elegraphc dispatches and dispatches
have always been obtained from the best from
which we could obtain them. Nov our dispatches from
Virginia. may absolutely be said to be by authority
If there be any errors they certainly unintenona
and unavoidable We refer to this matter now from the
fact that cannot always obtain dispatches from
thorzd sources and therefore are at times without any
at ALL This is not fault. Perhaps it may not ever
be misfortune either to US or to our readers.

YESTERDAY MORNING, not long after midnight, S.
R. Bunting and w. T. j. Vann Esqs., started down to
the Sound to find out the truth about the rumored land
ing of troops They returned about ten o'clock, having
learned that large steamer had been seen off the coast
and had maneuvred rather strangely We take it that
she either vessel at least vessel chartered
by the Washington Government. She landed no troops
and bore off, 1t is than probable that she is sent
out here on blockading service.
AS Messrs. Bunting and Vann were progressing on
their nocturnal tour of observation they turned
in the road and found a man with a gun and
bayonet, and after him another, and another, and
still two more with similar lehal weapons and they heard
the omnous click of gun lock. The parties mutually
challenged and interchanged names not second too
soon. They were mutually bunting for the Lincolnte
gentlemen.-Daily Journal, 1lth inst.

in his name:
ga CoRREcT1oN.-Mr. Geo. E. Mixer, of Tewsbury, who
recently arrived at this port from Wilmington N Co. whence
he escaped from the rebel military servce denies the truth
of the report attributed to him by the Manchester Mirror
were impressed into the Southern military that
place and also statement that everybody in the State
except women and Children was compelled to do military
duty. Mr. Mixer, voluntarily joined a military company
last winter not anticipating active SERVICE but COM
pany which he Joined having volunteered he obliged
to desert in order to avoid fighting against his country
Boston Journal.
We evidently cannot expect to enjoy any immunity
from attack either from our own obscurity from the
ignorance of our situation the part of the enemy
They know all about how we situated good deal
better than our own authorities do Our only true safety
lies in being prepared to repel any invasion. We
repeat the question which propounded yesterday
Are e prepared and repeat here that this is not
question which concerns only the people on the sea
coast 1t is question in which the whole State is in
terested. By means of the Cape Fear River access
would be obtained to the Arsenal at Fayetteville. By
of the three Railroads centreing here, an enemy
would be placed in connection not simply with all the
important points in our own State but with the
whole railroad system of the South We do not desire
to occupy the position Of grumbers, but really these
considerations impress themselves upon minds forcl
bly, and we think it is duty to call attention to them
Their Importance must form our justification.
All the accounts we find from the North, indi-
cate the fact that some decided movements immi
nent and will probably be heard from within this week
and the next
There can be little doubt that the people of Mary
