MAsoN's HILL, Sept. 11th, 1861.
have just returned from visit to our picket
lines where have passed in full view of the Yankee
pckets. Knowing how many eyes are turned anx-
iously and lovingly from home to watch our move
ments will write you brief letter.
We left our encampment of tents and few sick
several days ago. and marched to this point, where
we have been IN state Of pleasant excitement of
bivouac and constant readiness for the enemy
through. night and day. The novelty of our posi-
ton acts like magic on our boys who have grown
buoyant and enthusiastic. The sick seem to have
forgotten their ills, and general merriment abounds.
We sleep in open air without shelter, and it is gen.
orally noticed that the men enjoy better health than
they do in tents. Such at least is the effect unless
it rains.
The surrounding view is splendid. am seated
under a magnificent chesnut tree in the grove of
Capt. Mason, from whom the hill takes its name
He is the brother Of the former U. S. Senator of
that name. To the right in full view is the broad
bright Potomac In front the steeples Of Alexandria
point skyward and the dome and great wirgs of
the Capitol, in Washington, loom up little to the
left beyond. Further to the left, at distance of
mile, is Munsons Hill, now in possession of our
army. The drums of the enemy are distinctly
heard and his flag floats distinctly at three different
points, while ours futters defantly at my right a
few feet distant-at which the enemy may look from
the Capitol, or the balloon man at Georgetown from
his great gasbag which is now floating about in the
air. By the way, this balloon man has had to
change his point of ascension. A day or two ago
cannon ball from Munson's Hill approximated
within hundred yards of his skyward navigation
and warned him of what could be done with an
other shot. He took the hint, and now makes his
ascensions couple of miles farther back in the
direction of Yankeedom.
This beautiful and saubrious Hill looks down
proudly and defantly on the enemys strong hold.
Our forces will hold it Among the regiments here
is Col. Hoke's 18th N. Carolina His boys are JOY
and jubilant at the privilege of being here. All
of his companies except one is now on the picket
duty, and the frequent cracks of the rifle proves
that they are not asleep. Several of his companies
have exchanged shots With the Yankee pickets-but
none have been hurt Should the Col. and his regi-
ment meet the robbers feel that the check of no
Southern historian will wear the hue of shame
while he chronicles the result of the conflict

RALEIGH SATURDAY, SEPT. FL, 1861
The Legislature.


Aware that our columns would be necessarily oc-
cupied with other matter, have taken no account
of the regular proceedings of the Legislature this
week.
The Senate has been mainly occupied with the
revenue and militia bills, both of which we believe
have passed that body.
To the lasting honor Of the Senate be it said that
on Wednesday last it laid the Convention bill final
ly on the table by vote of 9 to 1G For what pur
pose sane men can desire to throw bomb shell into
the CAM of North Carolina when her soil is invad
ed. we arc unable to divine. We learn that Col.
Brown made an able argument in opposition to the
bill.
In the House on Tuesday, N n Fleming, ESQ.,,
Commoner from Rowan, was elected Speaker rice
Hon. VIM. I. Dortch, resigned. MeSsrs. Merrimon
Hill, and Batcheor were also voted for The House
took up the revenue bill on Thursday Several bills
in relation to the coast defences, &c. were passed
during the week.
Both bodies were still in session when our paper
went to press.
EXTRA LEGIsLArIoN.-Several bills have been in
roduced into the present session of the Legislature
and some of them have passed, comforting powers
the Governor to raise troops to do this and to do
that. Under the Constitution and previous laws
the Governor has all the power necessary to carry
on the war efficiently. Those which authorize him
to appoint officers to companies and regiments con-
fer too much already. Let the soldiers-they are
for the most part, sensible and true men-et them
appoint the company officers aud the officers Of the
| rcgmenta stats. The men who are expected to do
| the fighting, ought to choose their officers.
What we need most in North Carolina, is less
partyism and Office huntng-less fuss and feathers,
and more military skill, and more real head-,eork.
We have got the material of the right sort for a
powerful army-all We lack is the wisdom and the
skill and the energy to manage it Our State Off
GERS have power enough-let them use what they
have wisely and all will be well.
