The two brothers of the young man, Smith,
who died in Portsmouth Il short time since,
are both lying sick. They are properly cared
for by the patriotic ladies OF that city.

made whereby our soldiery at the various

of the movements in this State. But when
they ask il this can be a holy war, we answer,

an unjust and constitutional war; when

... Affairs in North Curotfna.



A few days ago a member of the Rocky Mt
Light Infantry shot his Captain, Lewis ]
with intent to KILL but was fortunately pre-
vented by one of his comrades, who, on seeing
him in the act of shooting, knocked his pis tol
down, causing the ball to take effect ia the
thigh, making a serious but not fatal flesh
wound. The wouid-b be murderer has been
tried by military law, but the verdict is vet
a secret. There is no known cause for his un :
natural conduct. He is a man OF family and
seems very much mortified.
A worthy member Of the Hornets Nest Ri.
fles fell q victim to pneumonia last Saturday.
This is the only death that has taken place in

Col. D.. H. Hill resigned his first elec ton,
but has since been reelected by a large ma.
iority. Every North Carolinian will be proud
10 hear that this distinguished officer has ac-
cepted the position so freely given by the Is.
Regiment.
The Legislature has made very happy and

Notwithstanding the many thousands Of
soldiers congregated ut the different camps in
and near this city, it is matter of congratu-
lation that but few of them, comparatively,
have been on the sick list. This is surprising
when we consider how very different their
present life is from that which they have been
accustomed to lead ut home. We have heard,
as yet, OF but one fatal termination 10 any
sickness of the soldiers. One Of the Virginia
volunteers, from Montgomery county, died
with the measles at the Central Fair 0rourds
ON Saturday. We did not learn his name.
