We UNDERSTAND that Captain Howard is succeeding
remarkably well in raising his troop of Cavalry Al
though only commenced this week. i, is fully half
made up and out of good materials, very large pro-
portion of the Citizens Mounted Guard Captain How
ARDS former independent company, having joined or
rather remained, aud some OF them actually bought
horses for Of their young friends 10 order that they
might join. 1t is due to our German Iellow-czens 10
say that no class Of could have behaved better than
they have done in connexion with this company. Not
only have the majority OF them who belonged to the
Mounted Guard joined the company getting up for
tive service, but they have used their literally
and periodically -none more so-ew have done as
we'll. We say this good authority, and think it
right to make the statement that may be seen that
if their compatrots at the North are against u.s. the
poison has not crossed the Potomac
BY tie way, let ask respectfully, if there is any
reason why the full company called for by Captain
Howard should not be made up this week 1t is real
y very much needed. The good providence of God
may by the eQuinOxal storms save as from invasion
for few days but the chances two to one that this
place is expressly aimed at by the Lincoln Government
and We must defend ourselves even if we make new
Tbermopyl9.'
EVEN THE MOST sKEPTICAL must have been led to
reflect upon the remarkably favourable with
which the whole South has been blessed in this year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one-
Some may call it accident and it may be accident but
such succession of accidents 10 favour is something
out OF the course of events or even of accidents
Just take the present wind that blows as an instance
The Equinoxia storm has been deferred long beyond
it's usual time long indeed that many of US thought
- -,
as would appear in answer to our earnest hopes and
wishes II preparation be of any use it gives time
for preparation for Yankee feet make descent
upon our coast while this wind holds We used at this
time Of the year, to think, and think kindly of the
stormtossed mariner but now, must confess that
welcome the storm, and care not how many Yankee
craft leave their bones to bleach upon Hatterss or
Cape Fear
We have before specimen of Salt made on Ma
sonboro' Sound by Messrs. Morse & Wkin Oh, from
brine taken from the Sound. 1t is not beached but
appears to be very nice article, and gentleman well
posted On the subject informs US that it is excellent
for saving meat.
We do not know exactly the cost of production, but
we do know enough to authorize US in saying that it
be produced and a0H be produced along sounds
at rates low enough to ruin of the miserable
uators in Richmond and Petersburg, who bring unde-
served discredit the whole Jewish name. We bid
the enterprise God speed if on no other account.
WE are assured that an important proposition has
been made to our Safety Committee by gentleman,
who we have to believe, is fully able and de-
termned to carry out his part of it, should it be accept
ed by the Committee. We see no reason why the ex-
pertinent should not be tried Of course we do not feel
at liberty to say what the proposition is
SOME THINGS can be endured even if they afford one
inconvenience but for Editor to be bored ncessant-
y just he is finishing article for daily paper,
which paper must go to press at certain time, is
little too much. We hope our Editor will be spared
after this friendly admoniton.
OYSTERS begin to come in season. and We notice that
Mr.. Webb, Front Street. has SEINE quite fine ones for
the season. They are very acceptable for q hungry
