Our Regiments at Suffolk.

The Christian Sun published at Suffolk, Va, pays
the following high and deserved tribute to res
ments in camp near Suffolk: -
1.-THE 3rd and 4th Regiments Of North carolina
Volunteers are still encamped here and we hope
will not leave US soon, unless they are actually
needed at some other point. The high moral bear:
ing of the Officers and Privates, connected with
their Regiments has served to.endear them to u.s.
True, we have seen some cases Of lntemperance and
heard some profanity from some of the privates
but there is less disposition to these vices than we
ever expected to find in so large body of soldiers
A strong religious influence pervades both Regi-
ments. In the 3rd Regiment religious worship is
kept up in the tents Of two of the companies every
evening, and in the 4th Regiment as many as three
of the companies have religious service every even
ing. In the Regiment there are four ministers be-
side the regular Chaplain We were mistaken in
our last in putting down Rev. Mr. Power as LIST
Lieutenant in the Arson Guards he came as Chap.
lain Of the Company, and holds no other odica"

Our Coast Defences.

Our fellow.citizens of the Eastern section Of the
State, need not now feel any uneasiness at the an
nouncement that President Davis will not receive
from this State at present. than six regiments
of twelve months volunteer troops in addition to the
ten regiments Of State troops for the war; The
Convention having provided for the transfer to the
Confederate States Of all the forts, arsenal navy,
&C., as well as the entire conduct Of the active mill
tary operations Of the State President Davis assumes
the entire responsibility of protecting the State
against invasion or Of repeling the enemy at any
point The ability of the Confederate States govern
ment to do this, no one doubts 1t has the entire
confidence Of our people.
Our citizens therefore, who have volunteered, who
do not join the State army for the war, and who are
not included in the six regiments of volunteers will
not be disbanded at once as many seem to suppose
The Governor is instructed by the Convention to
tender to the Confederate States government the
tire volunteer force of the State already enrolled and
accepted Ifnot accepted by the President the resi-
due, after filling up the six regiments Of volunteers
and ten regiments of State troops are left to the
disposal of the Legislature which meets the 18th of
August If events at that time seem to require
their continuance in the service that body can make
the necessary disposition of them. Ifhowever their
services are not needed they will be dsbanded on
the Goth of August receiving full pay for their time
of service and their expenses home. The arrange
mcnt when understood will receive the sanction Of
all who approve Of prudent, wise, and economical
administration Of our State affairs.
Until, however the war is at an end, we must ad-
wise our volunteers their return home not to dis
band Keep up your organization if possible, and
continue to drill We fear your services will still be
| demanded

Whiskey VS.. Soldiers.

Every body knows that Camp life is seriously de-
moralizing. Nothing tends so much to increase it
as the free Of intoxicating liquors We are glad
to know that our officers are exerting themselves to
suppress the use of it in the various camps. Many
who sell liquor care not how bad the liquor is, nor
to whom they sell. They are thus damaging our
soldiers seriously, and making them ungovernable
and ready to commit depredations upon kind and
unofending ncighbors. We are sorry to hear Of
Some instances of the kind in this region.
Co. Kirkland commanding at the camp of instruc-
ton here, we learn, has adopted summary process
with those, who against his remonstrances continue

Will the War Last +?

We find that many persons entertain the idea
that the war will terminate in short tine. Many
to believe that the only battle Of consequence
to be fought during the war; is the battle at Bethel
Church.
We feel sure that Lincoln will prosecute the war,
if he can gel money to do it. The Congress will
endorse his policy and grant him what he demands.
This is our opinion. The anti-war feeling in the
North may increase but in order to end the war
upon terms to suit the South, and to give US peace
for any length of time it is absolutely necessary to
give the Hessians severa. severe drubbings. We
believe therefore, the action Of the South should be
prompt and decisive. No parley nor truce should
be had with the enemy to give him time to recupe-
rate, but blow must be followed by blow in quick
succession, till Lincoln caves in and yields to our
demands
