CANT Brace. Suffolk. Ia

Editor Spirit or the Age TO day, as you
are aware, is the memorable fourth Of July
-aday that every American citizen has been
proud to commemorate. Would to God it
had been ushered in upon US under circum-
stances Of "A different character than those
which now surround US: that the people
might assemble together, as in the days OF
yore, and celebrate it joyously and peaceful
~. Instead of this, however, in the midst of
civil war, and far away from loved ones at
home, many will co~ngregate upon the tented
field, to celebrate it by the filing of cannon.
and the display Of arms, %cnlors, &c. But this
great day is not to pass by unnoticed. In
obedience to the suggestion of high authority
and the desire Of true patriots, it will be Oh
served by the 4th Regiment of n. c.. yolun-
teers, ard no doubt, the entire Southern Ar
my. At noon to day, therefore, a salute Of
fifteen guns will be fred, and an grafton |
learn, will be delivered by Capt. Vance of the
Rough and Ready Guards.
| have no items of interest to communicate
to-day. We have been blessed in this locali-
ty with an abundance of rain, during the last
few days. 1t was very much needed to lay
the dust, which was becoming Noticeable
to cool the atmosphere, and to impart yisor
to the growth of crops. So far as my obser-
walton extends, the crops are very promising,
which should cheer the hearts of every body
in the South. Were they to fall much short
of a good yield, at this critical time in the
history of our country, general gloom would
peryade. Let the profound thanks of oul
people, in prayer and praise ascend To Heaven
in acknowledgement Of such blessings. and
all others so layishly be,toA ed upon US from
time to time.
The 4th Regiment is undoubtedly the So
berest in the world. One scarcely ever see.
an intoxicated soldier here. 1t is about tn
best temperance society in the world. Th,
stuff, in the first place, is hard to come at
and in the second place, the Colonel does no
allow IL to be brought into the encampment
This, perhaps, fully accounts for the unu>ua
sobriety of the Regiment, though fr anght
know, there are but few who would indulge
had they every opportunity to do SO.
About The SevCrtSt ordeal through whic
a soldier passes, according to my experienc,
is in discharge of a Sentinel's duty. Rain {
shine, they have to he out, with their oil
muskets and account ements of war, both da
and night. But a patriot and a good soldie
does not murmur at anything they have
undergo, when tits in defence of their libert
their h,mes and firesides. Thu people shou.
remember, that the poor soldier, who SUITE
great privations, scarcely without any REM
neration, and who does the hard hghtin
deserves credit over and above the officer
whose pockets are filed. ard who are con
paratiyely out Of danger. Let whatever glo
that may result from this war, be attribut
mainly to the bravery of the privates, VI
are thrown into the hottest of the baltic.
Respectfully yours, B****

mothers and sisters, bathed in tears, babe

her We are freed from blind and h~eartless alb

diarrhRa-no cases of a serious character
The people of Raleigh have heen very good
to us. We acknowledge with gratitude the
kindness of Mr.. Loyejoy's and Mr.. Bur
gwin's families. While we were sick in the
camp, they have sent their servants with
the best vegetables, soups, rice, and cakes,
for us.
Our boys appear to enjoy themselves fine
ly. Our discipline will not allow any pro-
fame or indecent language TO be used. The
members of thisc company, (Jeff Davis Noun

Dobson for the purpose of hearing a sermon, or
rather an address, by the Rev. w. II. Bobbitt. At 3
O'Clock in the evening our Captain marched us into
the Court House. where we had the pleasure of hear

invited to the crament table, whereupon several
of the volunteers, Baptists and Methodists, went fog
ward to commemorate the death and snferings o:
our blessed Redeemer.
After we were dismissed we retired to the camp
The ladies visited the camp in the evening and joined
in singing some sacred music. Rev. w. II. Bobbitt
then held prayer for us, and we retired to our resting
places. On Monday the oath June, we bid farewell to
our friends and started on our march tn Danville, va.
We Travelled about fifteen miles TO Mt, Airy, NJ c.,
for dinner, and when within about one mile OF the
village we were met by the Mt. Airy brass Band,
which wheeled and marched in front of the company
with some cheering music. On arriving at the vii
lage we came up with Capt. Gilmer's company, the
Snfry Marksraen, and all az a band of brothers marched
to the camp about one mile from the town, where ".
found a great many ladies and gentlemen assembled
and q magnificent dinner prepared and spread befog.

RALEIGH, N. c., July 4th, 1861

Editor Of the Spirit of the Age: We
are still encamped in Mr.. Lovejoy's Grove.
Our Company is drilling in Battalion, under
Col. Kirkland and Capt. Galloway. We are
not yet formed into a regiment. So far as
our observation enables US to judge, the Of
fcers of the Military department here are
u%ntiring in their efforts to give the volun-
teers an outfit to prepare them for a sue
cessful campaign.
Mr.. Thomas, of Baltimore, by carrying
into effect a well devised plan, captured sew
eral vessels a few days ago, making a yalua-.
BILE prize to the South.
Great preparation are going on to enable
US to defend our rights, property, homes
and families from the invading army OF North
ern vandals. War under all circumstances
is a fearful calamity but we OF the South
feel clear in this matter. We asked the
black republicans, they being the dominant
