whole army, and will, unless l am greatly
mistak render to the North good account
Of this rebellion.
There is one grave fault committed by
those who remain at hoEe, and that Is, a
constant taut-fndng by those who know
nothing of the task to be accomplished, have
not the remotest idel OF the force and posi-
ton of the enemy, and know so little of mill
tary, that they could not get a company
marching in line into a shape to get them
through pair ofbars-yet they are urging
the army forward against the judgment OF
those who know almost to a certainty all the
above mentioned matters, and on mature con-
sideration by the greatest military genuses OF
the age, have mapped out the campaign to It's
most minutest particular, surveyed with care
every bill and hollow, calculated the hight OF
every rise and the distance of every position
occupiablo by an enemy, and in ]act are
posted In my humble opinion those who
direct this matter are as capable Of managing
it as any who suggest so many improvements
on well established plan. Please excuse
my rambling style, and take the will for the
deed. II. of ID.

Departure Of the 9th Regiment.

The 9th Regiment, on u train of twenty-five
Cars, left here at about 10 clock this morning.
On breaking up this encampment at 9 o'clock,
and getting INTO column, the Regiment, in
marching through the streets, headed by their
Colonel with the voice and port ola young lion,
and heralded by I'll the martial music which
seven drummers and seven ffers could make for
the occasion, made quite an imposing appear
ance. And when they reached the depot, and
while taking their seats in the cars, scene OF
excitement often quite painful 70 witness imme
diatey took place. Scores Of wives sisters and
other family relations of the departing soldiers,
were already there assembled for the final fare
well and with tears and sobs clung 10 the de-
parting objects Of their affections to the last in
slant and their touching demonstrations were
only drowned by the loud and reiterated
cheers of the thousand manly voices Of the sym
pathizlng spectators, as the long array Of the
deeply freighted cars moved slowly away and
disappeared in the distance.
This Regiment, as it appears to be generally
conceded, is, while fully equal to any other in
the physique Of the men, better provided than
any that have preceded it from this State. 1t is
indeed splendid body Of men ard their plucky
and patriotic young leader. Col. Lord, who, for
appearance and high military qualities, will not
often find his superior in the army, is just the
man to make the most of their courage and
tirmness on any battlefield to which their du
ties may call them.

State TROOPS,

The State regiments to be raised under the ten
regiment bill of the Legislature seem to fill up very
slowly. Col Tew's regiment is said to be the only
one full Col. Fishers regiment is nearly compile
ted. Col McRaes is half full and there are several
companies each in the regiments to be commanded
by Coils. Stokes, Meares, and Anderson.
1t seems to be believed in some quarters, that the
object had in view by the Military Board in deter
mining to receive no more volunteers was to compel
those who were anxious to be in the war; to Join
the State troops We do not know, but if so, may
prove to be serious impeachment in the way ot fill
ing them up. We are inclined to think that three
fourths of the companies now composing the State
troop regiments, were originally raised and rendered
as volunteers. One of the most sure methods it
strikes us of obtaining regular troops at this juno
ture-troops of the very best material is to encour-
age as many as possible to volunteer. One half
nearly of our twelve months volunteers, If the war
should continue would be likely to go into the reg
ular service We hope our people will volunteer so
as to prevent the necessity of draft which most
people seem to deprecate.

Burke County.

We noticed the arrival of the "Burke Tigers"
here some time since, but owing to the silence of
old friends in that county, we have not been in
formed to what extent she was working for the war.
We never doubted that she was doing her duty.
The annexed extract from private note of friend
from that county, gives the first information we
have had
81 see by the papers Of the State, that nearly
every county has been highly complimented for its
patriotism in sending volunteers to the war; and not
one word has been said complimentary to Burke,
when, in fact, doubt whether any county in the
State has done better than she has. About $50
have already left the county, and another CON-
pany is being organized, which has already upwards
of fifty men enrolled. This is doing first rate
think, for county which votes only about 100
strong; and the best of it is that of those already
in the service at least two-thirds were strong Union
men when there were hopes of preserving it on an
honorable basis and the old Union men of the
county did almost the entire labor in getting up the
volunteers. We now have a company in Raleigh,
the al Burke Tigers" which is a fine body Of men,
and were perhaps better drilled when they went to
Ralegh than any other company now in camp"

Latest News.

The news by the last mails is for the most part
without interest The accounts from Missouri are
unsatisfactory. The Missourians were defeated at
Boonville, BY Gen. Lyon. The people of the State
are divided, but the majority seem determined to
resist Lincoln. The want Of proper leader is
serious drawback. 1t is said that Gov. Magoffn of
Kentucky, and Gen. McClennan have agreed again
to keep hands off Gov. Harris, of Tennessee, it is
said, agrees to send no troops into Kentucky, if
Lincoln does not.
In Virginia at all points is being reinforced, and
our forces are advancing upon the enemys line
The opinion is expressed that great battle will be
fought until after the 4th of July The best portion
of the Northern people call for cessation of hos
tilitles but they appear to be still deceived as to
the real purpose of the South 1t is folly to talk
now of reconstruction. No news of any interest
from Yorktown, Manassas Gap or Harper's Ferry.
1t is understood that Lincoln will ask for an army
of 800, 600 men and money to match. England and
France seem to be getting ready for war. England
will raise 80, 600 troops for Canada.

Military Appointments.


we have seen no official announcement of the mil
ltary appointments made by the Military Board of
OF TINS State for the last month A good many have
been made no doubt. Why have they not been an
nounced?
Our exchanges advise US of several appointments,
which must have been made recently.
Maj. Gatlin late Of the U. S. ARMY. has been made
Brig. General, and has command of the Southern
Division of the Coast Defences A good APPOINT
ment we have no doubt. The Wilmington Journal
abiding to the frequent changes made at that post,
expresses the hope that Gen. Gatlin will be allowed
to remain there long enough, to learn whether the
people in that region are scared or not
Maj j. G. Martin, late U: S. Army, has been ap-
pointed Adjutant General, VIM. G.. Robinson, late
U. S. Army, Assistant Adjutant General, and Assis-
tant Adiutant General Rddick has been transferred
to the Southern Department of Coast Defences, hold
Ing the same position. We suppose the duties of
Adjutant General Martin are confined to the State
Troops, and do not interfere with the duties of our
friend Adjutant General Hoke. We learn also from
the papers that Rev. Mr.. Andrews is Chaplain of
the third, and Rev. Mr. Cobb, Chaplain of the fourth
regiments at Suffolk, Va.

sence or inability, was discussed on Thursday, and

Where is Barnum?

One Of the richest curiosities of the age, deserV
ing the special attention of Barnum is the attempted
twin-ship of the trio here, composed of leather
headed Englshman, an old friend Of ours son of
Erin now let down in the girth, and a spawned
broken-down Virginia editor. The ambition or the
vanity of the trio to enlghten and lead the people
of North-Carolina moral and political questions,
to lead the forlorn hope of the spos party and to
abuse we'll the Standard, is one of the most su-
premely ridiculous things, which Lincoln's war has
developed. The people of North Carolina will es-
chew the teachings of such medley-the spoils-
party will ere long excaim, "save US from our de-
Tenders" but the advice of the Standard to the
trio is, GnaD on ye tOothless Uipers, ye bite file

The SoIdiers..Yegetables.

Vegetables are quite plentiful in all our towns
and in the country. Many of our soldiers are in
camp, living if they can, on salt meat, this hot,
sweltering weather. 1t is highly important that
they should be supplied with vegetables.
We are glad to know that some of our ladies con-
slider the wants of the companies in camp near them
about the city, but we are afraid good many are
not aware of the necessities of the soldiers in this
regard. Wonder if our good friends in the country
near the camp of Major Ramseurs Artillery, think
of the brave fellows in that company? We are
sure they would appreciate most highly presents of
vegetables.

Ten Regiment Bill.

Very few people have carefully examined this bill.
Without going into examination of it it is enough
to observe, that taken in connection with the sub
sequent of the Executive spoirs party, it
bears upon its face the appearance of not only being
intended to provide for the party in future contn-
gencies, who by the way were not the "victors in
this contest but to clothe that party or its head
with unlimited power over the troops thus raised
nation.
The ten regiments are TO be differed by the Ex-
ecutive. Four hundred and fifty officers of these
ten regiments are to receive their appointments
from him, whose aggregate pay together with other
appointments authorized by the last Legislature,
will not fall far short of 81 ,OOO 900 per annum.

the condition of the large stock of Bacon stored
