LETTER FROM GEN. D. H. HITr
SHIP POINT, VA, Sept. 4,

Ship POINT, VA, Sept. 4, 1861
A report has been circulated in the panor, r
North Carolina that the first Regiment had
been paid, because the Muster Rolls had NOT ho aO'
sent in to the Adjutant General in Raleigh s
this is reflection, primarily, against the Cap,,in'
of the First Regiment, whose duty it is to maLs s
these rolls, it may be proper in me, as the Ia,s
Colonel to reply to so grave charge. Your read
ders will understand it's absurdty, when thor
learn that Paymasters never apply for rolls !,
the Adiutant Generals Office, but directly to w
Captains of Companies. The non- payment ~
TROOPS cannot, therefore, be due to the aleoa5
cause. But the whole thing is mistake. A.
rolls were given to the Adjutant General, tbs
most of them, by my own hands.
| have been absent from the Regiment for po..
month, on account of fever; but | understan5
from Col Lee that none of the troops at Yorktown
have been paid until very lately. Surely ali tba
CAPTAINS at Yorktown have not been negloen
of their duty.
The dangers, discomforts, hardships and priv,
tions of campaign.are sufficiently trying, with.
out the annoyance Of misrepresentation from IN
anonymous and irresponsible writer, surroundeI
by the comforts and luxures of home. No Officer
of the First Regiment will shrink from rigid eI.
animation into his official conduct; but they all
think, that while separated from their famie,
and fresides, gentlemen in North Carolina at a
safe distance from Yankee bullets and Camp dis.
cases. should be certain that there is little SEM
blance of truth in the severe accusations they
make.

TEXAs.-The recent election was the most quiet
ever held in Texas. There seems to be little
doubt of the result for State officers Lubbock
leads for Governor; Crockett for Lieut. Governor
and Crosby for Commissioner of the Land Office.
They are doubtless elected. In 50 counties heard
from, Lubbock leads Clark near 5000.
GEoRGIA.-Mlledgeville Sept l2.-The Con-
vention yesterday nominated Hon. E. A. Nisbet
for Governor, and also appointed Presidential Eec-
tors.
AUGUSTA, Sept 1.-THE banks in this CITY
held meeting to-day and adopted the resolutions
passed by the banks in Charleston, agreeing to
receive the Treasury notes of the Confederate
States fer dues and on deposit.

ARREST HIM.

We invite attention to Mr. Thomas f. Brown 5
advertisement in this paper concerning a man
calling himself VIM. Davis. In his searches to
discover the whereabouts of this man, Mr. Brown
las got the impression that VIM. +. Davis, alias
Edward Bolin, atlas Sidney G. Smith, proba-
bly, one and the san,e man, who has, for about 20
years. been practising his dishonesty upon the
people in different parts ofthe country. Ii correct
in his surnse, Mr. Brown says Davis real name
is Boiin; and while living in Caswell county, n.
c., some Is or 20 years ago, he committed the
crime of bigamy in the adjoining county of Gull
ford for which he was whipped and branded on
the check. When in this county a few weeks ago,
he exhibited a note for $3.50 Gov. Morehead,
and offered to pawn it for the loan of few dollars
Dr. j. f. Foard, to whom the offer made
loaned him the money, but declined the pawn,
believing him to be gentleman 1t has been

is his trade, and he practices it with consummate
skill. The public is certainly interested in stop

TIE BLOCKADE The Charleston papers re-
port that the Federal fleet outside of that port was
visited few days ago by the British Consul
though the precise object of the visit has not
transpired. The frgate Wabash had relieved the
Roanoke, and constituted, with the Vandalia, the
only vessels in the blockading fleet. The Wabash
it will be remembered took part in the action at
llatteras Inlet. They spoke in high terms of the
bravery Of the North Carolina troops.
The Charleston Courier learns by passenger
from East Florida that the whole coast off St.
Augustine is blockaded; but that vessels manage
to elude the vigilance of the blockaders On the
10Th ult., vessel laden with coffee and fruit got
into port under heavy fire of shot and shell from
the fort. Shots had been exchanged off St.
Augustine between the fleet and the Floridaus
on the coast The latter express themselves conf
dent that they can bid defiance to all or any of
Lincoln's piratical invaders The planters have
unanimously determined not to ship pound of
sea-island cotton, either North South for spec
uIation, having pledged their entire crop to the
good Of the Confederate States

MILITARY ENTHUSIASM" OF TIE NORTH -
4 draft proposcd.-The New York World says
1t is useless to disguise the fact that there is
strong pressure upon the President and Cabinet
by men high in military station to resort imme-
diately to drafting to fill the ranks of our army to
the number required to carry the war success
fully. At the present rate of recruiting to our
regular army, the new regiments will not be filled
up before January, thus keeping out of active
service our best regular officers at a time when
their services are most required. The $4,000
increase of the regular army ought to be in the
field before the lst of October; but now to get
the men without a draft is the question: 1t is
feared by many persons here that the stoppage of
all news respecting the condition of the army is
lullng the North to fatal security, and that we
are credited with twice the number of troops on
the line Of the Potomac than we really have in
camp. If such is the case let it be known, that
while we have plenty Of men to guard Washing
ton, we want $4,000 more troops to make an
effective forward movement With the complica-
tons likely to arise in Kentucky within the COM
ing month, and with what additional aid Gen
Fremont will require, 100000 more men can find
enough to do.

LARGE BUSINESS. Gen. Dix has ordered the
vice police Of Baltimore to stop the sale of
Confederate flags, badges and envelopes, and also
the licensees Of President Davis, Generals Beau
regard Ice, Johnston, and all persons citizens of
the Confederate States. Persons wearing red and
white neck-ties have been compelled to take them
of, under the threat that if they refused they
would be taken to the station-house One gem
tleman had exposed in the show lease of his store
pair Of infants socks, knit of red and white yarn
lie was compelled to remove Them the vice police
asserting that the colors were those of the
Confederates. The Exchange says:
All day Thursday the police were busly doing
this dirty work. Some of them felt that they
were engaged in low business, and in some few
instances apologized for their conduct remarking
that want Of bread alone compelled them to be
the tools Of their superiors. The little boys on
the street, who have been earning living for their
widowed mothers and destitute brothers and
sisters, were stopped and warned thatsif they
continued to sell the songs they would be arrested
Accordingly, "Abe's Lament" will no longer be
heard on the streets.

NORTHERN PROSPERITY.

The New York Herald points to its advertise
ments for evidence of revival OF business and
returning prosperity in New York. We have
looked to its proofs, and find three columns and
half filed with such as these: "A situation eranted
By a respectable qooman," either as cook, washer,
nurse maid of all work, such vocation.
Many of them say wages no object-a home and
board all that's required" 1t is painful, in look
ing over these columns of wants by poor, helpless
females to think how much misery is couched be-
meath them. Five hundred respectable white
women in the one city of New York, on one day
and through one paper begging for the privilege
of drudcing for a bare subsistence That's
Northern prosperity! One-ifth the number could
not be found in all the Southern States put
together. Perhaps one-tWentetA would be
tavagant estimate This difference is the result of
the difference in the social status of the two Sec
tons The class in the South who occupy the
position corresponding to that Of these public
beggars for employment are our slaves, who are
the last to feel the pressure of want. When
storms Of adversely blow, they pass unharming
over their humble heads. Their accustomed COM
forts suffer no dminution, and knowing that
others have that in hand, they are unmolested by
even anxiety on the subject. But your one
idead Humanitarian, the most cold -blooded and
cruel Of Gods creation, could never be brought to
comprehend this view of the matter.
Two other columns, to which we are referred
for evidence CT Yankee prosperity, devoted to
d" Houses to let" and two to &c Board and
lodging" Two other columns of miscellaneous
notices, such as women advertising for husbands,
men for wives and places of designation and other
kindred topics BETTING that model people, COM
plete the list.
We dare say, these columns do present fair
sample of the sort of prosperity, which is enjoyed
by the great Yankee nation. The gallant array of
,oir
cent importations-the long catalogue Of ships,
bound to and arriving from every part of the
ocean; the busy hum of thriving industry, have
all disappeared from the scene. The miserable
maid Of all work, with her vehement entreaty to
be permitted to livelihood, and empty
houses and rotting ships fill up the charming
picture !-RichmOnd Wig.

TIE FORT HATTERAs PRIsoNERs.-The New
DIRK Express, Of the 18th, says:
The prisoners from Fort IIatteras were taken
off the Minnesota this morning, and conveyed to
Governor $ Island.
The prisoners will be furnished with temporary
quarters only on Governors Island. The order
to impriSon them in the hull of the frigate Bran
dywine has been recalled, and Fort Wood on Bed
loes Island is being fitted up for their reception,
and in anticipation the Government will order
them there The fort will accommodate about
800, and tents Adjacent to it will be erected for
the accommodation Of the remainder.
No communication has been allowed with the
prisoners, but it is understood from officers of the
trigate that 500 OF the subalterns and
private soldiers have decided that under no cir
cumstances would they again resume service
against the |. S. Government. A despatch was
sent to Washington, asking if such of the priso-
ners as manifested this loyal disposition might be
liberated on taking the oath Of allegiance The
answer was in the negative, and orders were issued
to keep the whole party close prisoners.
The statement contained in the last paragraph of the
above is false beyond all doubt. No North CaroIni:
who has entered the service will take the oath eff
allegiance to Lincoln's government.

MENT \. q. NOLUNTEERs.-We learn from the
Petersburg Express that most daring exploit
undertaken and admirably performed by
Lieut.. John y. Dickson and some forty of his COM

of the Buncombe Rifles Capt j. c. Mcdowell. Of
the First Regiment y. G. Volunteers. The Fix

on Back River in Elizabeth City county, about
six miles from Old Point and known as Back
River Light, having furnished considerable aid
to the Federal pirates who have been navigating
in that section for some time past it dctermn-
cd by the Confederate authorities at Yorktown to
cxtinguish this prominent illumination. in fur
therance of this object, Lieut.. John \. Dickson,
OF the Burke county Rifles, accompanied by
about twenty men of his company, and twenty
others Of the Buncombe Rifles, left Yorktown last
Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock in three boats,

o'clock at night.
They disembarked some three miles from the

TIE RECOGNITION OF THE SOUTHERN Cox
FEDERACY BY GREAT BRITAIN.-Two gentlemen
from Charleston, just from England, passed
through our city on yesterday route for home
Both of them are well known to us, and we can
place the fullest reliance on their statements
One Of them bears dispatches from our Com
missioners in Europe, to President Davis-of their
contents, Of course, he processes no knowledge.
At various points from Quebec to the line of the
Southern CoHfederacy, this gentleman was often
searched, but the Lincolnites failed to find the
dispatches, which were most artfuliy concealed,
we know where, but think it imprudent to let the
secret out.
Upon the recognition of our Government and
raising the blockade, our Charleston friends say
there Is not a doubt upon the mind of any one in
England. a large number of merchants were
there from the South, all of whom made heavy
purchases, to be paid for when the goods were
safely delivered to consignees in the ports of the
South. Cur readers may rely upon the truth of
this lntelliSence.-4idnta Mtehigencer.
