This fine company left this City on Monday
morning last for our sea-coast If they should
get an opportunity they will show the metal they
are made Of. We very checrfully publish the fol-
lowing note from the officers and men, making their
Acknowledgements for attentions and courtesies
shown the company by citizens of Wake County:
Mr.. EDIroR:-The officers and men of the Will
mington Light Infantry ask permission through
your columns to return their sincere thanks to Will
liam NJ. Boylan, ESQ.,, for the patriotic sacrifice he
has made in extending to them the use of his
country seat" as place of encampment; and
their effort shall be to make the recollection of
Camp Boylan famous in the history of Southern
independence are Hillsborough Tavern and Har-
nett House in the struggle for American liberty
They take this occasion also to acknowledge their OBJ
legations for many acts of kindness extended to them
by the citizens Of Wake County; and on the eve of
their departure they think it not improper to refer
to the high courtesy received from the Executive
and the departments connected Herewith. To the
accomplished Adutant General they award high
praise for his efforts to make them pro6cients.

%" We are requested to state, by authority of
some of the ladies who have taken prominent part
in getting up and organizing the association in this
City, for the relief of our sick and wounded SOL
diers, that there is no truth whatever in the I'M
kind insnuation whispered about that the assoca-
ton is sectaran in its character There is nothing
sectarian about it, either the part of those who
have inaugurated the movement, or those for whose
benefit it was intended. 1t is q benevolent and
Christan-hcarted enterprise, appealing to the pa
triotism and philanthropy of all persons, no matter
what may be their peculiar religious connections
The initiation is general to all the ladies of the City
and the County to come forward and unite in this
noble movement, calculated to do so much good, and
to afford much alienation to the sufferngs of our
gallant soldiers. Contributions arc of course en-
tircly voluntary. Those who do not feel disposed
to unite in the enterprise or WHO do not approve of
the method of relief proposed by the association,
not called upon to contribute, if they do not
feel disposed to do so but it is to be hoped no one
will resort to the charge of sectdransm for the pur-
pose of excuslng their short comngs in the way Of
contribution, and that the generous and the kind
hearted will not allow themselves to be kept away
by the unfounded imputation OF "sectarianism"

NORTH CAROLINA AETILLERY.-A writer in the
Petersburg Express speaking of Capt. Ramseur's
of Raleigh, says
ION the arrival of the Inspector General the
order was given to prepare for review, and in ap-
parently few moments the battery was ready to
moveoi For nearly two hours the Inspector drilled
it. giving every possible command as if striving to
confuse the drivers and cannoneers, but in vain
And truly it was an inspiring sight to see and hear
the tramp of the horses as they charged swiftly by,
six horses to each piece At the close of the drill
the Inspector General expressed himself ten years
younger from what he had witnessed and did not
hesitate to say that " Ramse1r's Battery" was the
best equipped and finest drilled Artillery Company
he had ever seen. For myself as Virginian, /
must say in candor that | found myself at least
dozen times q hope not with envy wishing that the
Battery had belonged to the Old Dominion"

RICE Oh Com. we have been requested to bring
to the attention of the authorities the Importance of
using one or both of these articles for the supply of
our troops Their desperate sanitary condition is
matter Of alarm and affection to the whole country.
! Do not our authorities know that wheat is not
common diet throughout the South? Our troops
for the most par have not the slightest idea what
to do with wheat -four. You might as well give
them so much saYdust 1t is article they are
not accustomed TO use They don't know how to
use it And wheat -four, improperly cooked, is one
of the most ndigestible and pernicous diets in the
world. The common diet throughout the Southern
country is either corn or rice-along the seacoast
rice-in the interior of the States corn But as for
wheat, they are innocent of any such food To give
q lower-countryman Of Georgia or South Carolina
or North Carolina, wheat -four to cook and eat, is
little short of committing assassination upon him.
If it is attempted to feed troops upon this diet
it is absolutely necessary that the dcpn tment should
furnish each regiment or company with an army
daker. If this cannot be done, the diet must be
changed, or our troops will be murdered by whole
SALE They are now dying by hundreds at the hands
of the Gommissary Department
Why cannot men be properly fed They are
accustomed to rice corr. Why can they not
have it? Is rice too difficult to transport then why
have they not corn? Is there no corn in Virginia
and North Carolina, and Tennessee and Kentucky?
Yes; there is plenty of corn. Nothing is needed
but to have it properly ground Any grind-mill can
easily furnish it in any quantities. The demand is
urgent as life ITSELF To talk of what men ought
to eat is folly. What men are accustomed to eat
and to cook, is what they ought to have.
And here we would like to ask question. Whilst
business is stagnating throughout the country, and
the railroads are doing good trade in trans
portation, why is it that they cannot carry pro-
visions to our troops without charging such exorbi-
tant and unpatriotc faresg Why need they charge
at all? But if their patriotism must make charge,
why levy such a tax actually to debar our poor
fellows of diet upon which their lives depend?
Why cannot whole freight trains be laden with rice
and carried through by wholesale to- Richmond, at
a reasonable chargc-that is such charge will
enable its transportation? This matter should be
looked into here, and along the route. The great
public interest must be subserved Our troops can
not be sacrificed to money making. Rice and corn
they want and rice and corn they should have even
if military decree be necessary to fix reasonable
fare.
We trust speedy reform will take place in the
diet of our troops Charleston Mercury.

GA Horsel A Hersel MY Kingdom for

r { HORSE " 81 l-ff..a
Asa matter o. justice to Col Branch, we publish
to-day his letter to Mr. Speaker Dortch and the let
ter of Mr. Pool to him, in relation to the Woody
horse
We published the memorial of Mr. Woody more
Tor the amusement Of our readers than any thing
else. Itdid not occur to for moment that Col.
Branch would feel himself injured OF affronted by
the memorial. We regarded that paper as contain
ing an amusing but truthful account Of the pursuit
Of eighty dollars under difficulties, but amusing
only on account Of the circumlocution process to
which Mr. Woody was compelled to resort. But
Col. Branch assails us because headed our arti-
Gle 1.-The Circumocution Office" He says the cry
OF "circumocution offices" is raised by "traders
and politicians who have contributed nothing to the
public cause but are seeking to make their pecuna-
ry or political fortunes" OF course this is meant
for US. Now, Col. Branch, we will come to a show
ing with you any day. as to which Of us has "con-
tributed" most to the public cause" 1t is true
that we have not volunteered, and been afterwards
Immediately appointed to an important and profita-
BILE soritng Office but have nevertheless done all
we could to sustain the cause. So far our "po-
ltcal fortune" is concerned, that is made already;
but If it were not we would scorn to avail ourself
of crisis like the present to do it. Perhaps Col.
Branch measures other peoples corn by his own
half bushel
We will not disturb the delightful self complacency
with which Col Branch refers to his labors for the
"glory of North Carolina, and the welfare of its
army" We are entirely willing that the State and
the army should judge of these labors for them
selves; but we Still insist and shall continue to in
sis that Mr.. Woody has not been paid for his horse
and that the senstiveness which Col Branch evinces
on the subject favors the conclusion that he is in
some way responsible for the treatment which Mr..
Woody has received.
Nor have We anything to do with the controversy
between Col. Branch and Mr.. Moore. That the
latter acted honoraby and properly, so far as he il
connected with this unhappy business, we entertain
no doubt; and we have little doubt that if the
horse himself could speak, he would sustain Mr.
Moore, and give most emphatic neigh to the as
sumptions of Col Branch. Nor do we think with
Col Branch, that this horse memorial is in any
abuse of 1.-The great and sacred right of Pc
titon," that it is calculated to destroy conf
dence in the government in time of war;" The
horse himself We make no doubt, would he aston
ished at such conclusion, if it should, perchance,
come to his ears and we feel sure that Mr.. Woody
would submit to almost anything except rcpeti-
ton of the circumlocuon process, before he would
be in any way instrumental in destroying conf
dence in the government in time of war;" or abusing
1.-THE great and sacred right of petition,
As to Col. Branchs attack on spectators and
those having claims on the government, we leave it
with him to settle the matter with them
