tile result of their fair last winter. The boat
was purchased of the students at Harvard Col.
lege, and is a great addition to the lake fleet.
The young ladies have tasteful uniform
dress, and, together with the Atalanta and
Phantom clubs, who were out in uniform and
with full crews, made very charming specta-
the war, and others have much time taken up
by military duties, there will hardly be SO
many visits to Lake Quinsigamond this sum-
mer as formerly.

writes from Camp Bee, gives expression to the nat

We would rejoice with him to see our gallant regi-

The chances of war constantly changing, and it
may be that before all the leaves fall our soldiers on

the brave men Of whom our correspondent speaks,
that they are not forgotten. We all know that
they are where duty calls them for the present. and
that they will be patient and firm in waiting for
an opportunity to strike they will be daring and
unerring in dealing their blows when the opportu-

Well Put.

A Tennessee correspondent Of the Richmond En-
guirer abiding particularly to the appointment Of
inefficient surgeons in the army holds the following
language. The same remarks apply with equal
force to all appointments in the army and to all IN
civil affairs What remains of constitutional liberty
in America, is now confined to the Southern Con-
federacy. Partyism and corruption have driven it
from the Northern States, and the same influences
if not watched closely and resisted to the bitter end
will drive it from the Southern The correspondent
says:
.Ifincompetent and corrupt men have received ap-
Monuments. through political influence they ought
to be removed and not let those who are exposing
our homes. suffer. that they may wallow in fat
officers Ny dear sir there is too much of the cor
ruptions Of the old Government in ours already !;
and our Revolution will be shallow and empty
victory if we do not get rid of the corrupt
Office seekers and camp followers, in every depart
ment of the Government"

Reconstruction.

The following extract from a recent letter from
Gen. Houston, of Texas, defining his position in re-
ply to sundry ISLANDERS of the newspapers expresses
the universal opinion in the South. From the day
of Lncons proclamation all ideas Of reconstruction
or reunion were banished utterly from the minds Of
the Southern people We are torecer separated,
and every day that the is continued only wldens
the breach the more Gen. Houston says:
"The South can never re-unte with the North, nor
can the North entertain any rational hope of her
subjugation. The sooner war is ended, the greater
will be the probability Of establishing friendly rea
tions between the sections, and this cannot fail to
promote the mutual prosperity of both Should
this be disregarded, terrific responsibility must
rest upon the heads of those who interpose power
or authority to its consummation."

WHAT Is THE MATTER I'VE noticed in our last,
that General Hi had made a requisiton upon the
people of Craven for the use of onefourth of their
negro male force for two weeks for the purpose Of
completing the defences near Newbern The last
Progress contains a notice from Col. Singeltary,
which indicates that but little regard had been paid
to Gen. Hills requsition. Col. Singetary therefore
gives notice in obedience to ORDERS that if the requi
sition of Gen. Hill is not complied with, that he
would proceed on Monday last to send out troops to
enforce the requsition.
We are at loss to account for this manifest in
difference to support the government in affording
protection to Newbern and vicinity. Many Of them
have been clamorous enough against the govern
ment for not protecting them, and now that the
government is disposed to do its duty, they haul off
and lie on their oars. We hope for the honor Of
old Craven, her people will not force upon Colonel
Sngeltary the necessity Of enforcing the requstion
Such state of indifference to the hazards to which
they are exposed, is unaccountable They will be-
gin to move if not before, when Lincoln's vessels
are in force in the river, ready to assa them. If
our people expect the government to be wide awake
to their condition, they must wake up themselves
and 20 to work maufuy.

AFFAIRS ON THE CoAsr.-Our intelligent cores
pondent "P" furnishes full account in our paper
to-day of the fishermen on Bogue Sound, near
Swansborough, who happened to fall in with some
Yankees, and who were supposed to have given
some information to the enemy. Our correspond
ent has no doubt represented the whole matter in
its true light.
We have report in town, which is thought to
be we'll founded, that the Yankees have effected q
landing at Swansborough, or at Cedar Point, near
that place. 1t is only abont fifteen miles from &C.
dar Point to the Atlantic Railroad Bridge over New
port river, and it is supposed the Yankees were
aiming to get possession of the bridge. We have
no doubt they will be promptly met and driven to
their ships.

Confederate Taxes.

1t will be seen by the following that sherifs and
tax collectors of Counties are excluded from acting
as collectors of the Confederate tax The Secretary
of the Treasury no doubt has good reasons for this
decision. The chief Collector, Mr.. Lane was not
informed of it until after he had appointed Mr.. High
for this County. The chief Collector will no doubt
make all his appointments of collectors for the
Counties at as early day as practcable:-
PLEASANT GROVE, Wayne, Oct II, 1861.
MR. W. H. HIGH-lKy dear Sir: see from the
instructions of the Secretary of the Treasury, that
the sheris and tax collectors excluded from the
collection of the Confederate tax, unless they give
up their present offices, which | suppose none of
them will do I regret it much, and particularly in
your case, as you have made some progress in the
matter Whatever expense you have been at will
no doubt be allowed you by the government which
| will attend to for YOU shall have to make an
other appointment in your County in your Place Ms
Very truly yours, W. X. LANE.
It will be seen from the above, that the appoint
ment of tax collector for Wake, conferred me by
Mr.. Lane is not valid, owing to the decision refer
red to by him of the Secretary of the Treasury The
appointment was conferred on me without any de-
sire or solicitation for it my part. deem it due
to the people that should give them this notice,
and make it as public as the notice Of my appoint
ment and the days fixed for giving in the lists. l
shall take steps put the people to as little trouble
as possible, under the circumstances as the result
of my appointments for receiving the lists in the
No blame can attach to either Mr.. Lane or myself
in this matter as he is bound to follow the instruc.
tons of the government. A County Collector will
no doubt be appointed at an early day by Mr. Lane,
when the people wi: have further notice Of the times
and places for giving in their lists. ~

balloon passing over this city at moderate speed,

at least four persons in it. 1t is also reported that
another was seen on Monday morning or Sunday

not impossible that the aEoenauts Of the Pateseeer

We find in the last Iredell Express letter from

seat in the regular Congress, and urges his friends
to vote for some other person. The sentiments of
the letter are highly creditable to Col. Puryear-
He says
"The Union is dissolved-the Southern Confed-
eracy is formed! In that Confederacy all that is
sacred and dear to reemen is endangered and threat
ened with destruction. Harmony and perfect unan-
unity are indispensable to enable to expe ruth
less enemy from our land and to restore peace and
safety to distracted country and suffering peo-
pie"

"without distinction Of party" to unite upon some
one for Congress "who may receive the unanimous
support of all parties"
