NORTH CARoLINA.-Every regiment that we have
yet seen from North Carolina seem thoroughly
equipped, and every provided with the articles
essential to service. The military representatives Of
this noble State winning laurels for her in album
dance not less for the manliness and sobriety of
their ordinary department than by their stern and
indomitable valor in the field. They are calm, ear
nest determined looking men, and, when the day of
trial comes, will make a name in history for them.
selves and for North Carolina that will never die.
The above just compliment to our good old State,
we copy from the Richmond Dispatch. Our neigh
bors will find us out after while. Compliments
come tardily to North Carolina but her brave sons
will yet make her known.

Northern people, the question for the Ct the South

Ellis Light Artillery.

This efficient and well-drilled company has re-
ceved marching orders, we understand, and left on
Monday, en- route for Virginia. 1t now numbers
los men, Is horses, with brass six Founders, two
howitzers, and one rifled cannon. Much credit is
due to the energy and perseverance of Major RAM
seur in bringing the company to its present condi-
ton in numbers, equipment and drill 1t is about
three months since the company was started, and
although it has had to contend with serious obsta-
Giles, it is perhaps equal to any in the Confederate
States. \ better class of determined, courageous
young men cannot be found any where and we are
sure if true courage and will to succeed can accom-
plish any thing, this company will make its mark
upon any battle field. Many sympathizng hearts
and good wishes go with this company.
Some persons have expressed surprise that this
company has been so long in getting ready If there
were no other causes the time to drill artillery
company is sufficient for the delay. Seldom
has such a company been ready for action under
less than four months steady drilling.
The following is complete list of the officers:
S. D. Ramseur, Major; Basil c. Manly Captain;
VIM. j. Saunders, 1st Lieutenant; B. B. Guion, I'd
Lieutenant; I. B. Bridgers, Sd Lieutenant; DR..
Hines, Surgeon; P. H. Sasser LIST Sergeant; j. D.
Fewsom, I'd Sergeant; j. j. Powell, Sd Sergeant;
j. McKimmon, Jr., 4th Sergeant; W. P. Allen, 9th
Sergeant; W. E. Pell, LIST Corporal; - Nichols,

fcers.

DoNT CoNFouND TIE NAMEs.-The Fairfax station
is often COMPOUNDED with Fairfax Courthouse. The
former is situated on the Orange and Alexandria
railroad, eighteen miles from Alexandria, and the
Courthouse or county seat of Fairfax county is a
village about fourteen miles from Alexandria, on the
wagon road leading to Warrenton. And the same
may be said of Manassas junction. The latter place
is where our soldiers are encamped and is about 27
miles from Alexandria. The Gap is in the valley of
Virginia, running through the Blue Ridge noun
tains, and about go miles from the Junction. Bull
Run is the boundary between Fairfax and Prince
William counties, Virginia, until it enters Occoquan
River, IA miles from its mouth.

Artillery.

1t is stated that Gen. Lee, of Virginia, has ex-
pressed the opinion that Artillery will decide the
contest in this war. We have suggested the pro-
priety of each County in the State purchasing one
howitzer or gun or two, from G 10 l2 ,p5ti :
the Counties to furnish the to man theIt, the.
horses and all necessary equipments, and the Coun-
ties to own the guns, horses &c, and to loan them
to the State or Confederate States during the war,
to be returned to the Counties, ts Sa Ea9sSps me-
mentoes of the war, and used On public oct sions.
The need of cannon is often felt in every County.
Let them be raised, and then formed into compa-
MES and regiments, and drilled forthwith. This
done, North Carolina might claim first position on
every battlefield. individuals in the Counties could
easily contribute the money without feeling it

important and novel in waging war, were Maj. Nor

Conflict or Autbo,,,v.

During the existence of war there is always dan.
ger of a conflict between the civil and military au-
thorittes of the country. This should be carefully
avoided Serious damage often ensues, when the
powers and rights of each are not understood, and
when those rights are not respected
The recent destruction and total loss of the $500
bags OF coffee wrecked upon our coast calls up this
subject and demands word of comment If no
war bad existed the civil law would have been duly
executed in that instance, and the $500 bags of
coffee would have been saved every one of them
cur people would have had fine supply of coffee,
aud the hardy wreckers would have been benefited.
Now, the question is, did the existence of war
necessarily and of right GUST the civil authority in
this case? We think not. In all cases where YES
sells and cargoes seized by our navy and troops,
it is plain in time of war, the military authority
takes possession of the property persons so
seized, and dsposes of them. The civil authority
has nothing to do with them. But in this instance,
and it may frequently occur during the war, the
barque Linwood and her unoffending captain and
crew were pursuing their legitimate trade upon the
high seas. She nears our coast in bad weather, and
the usual lights being extnguished, she was driven
The question is, did the simple fact that she came
ashore under our guns in time of war, render her
captive in any sense, to our forces? We think not.
The military, however, took possession of the wreck
and sent her captain and crew here as prisoners Of
war, whom the Governor, however, as soon as he
heard the case, released.
The "wreck master" and wreckers were there
to take possession under the civil law. But the
military claimed all control, as we learn in the
premises, and kept the wreckers off Our military
know how to kill old Abe's minions but they don't
know every thing, and it appears did not know how
to save wrecked cargo of coffee perhaps the easiest
kind of cargo that ever was stranded They dy-
dsilied, leaving the masts standing in the barque
which in three or four days, under the surging Of
the waves split her open, and destroyed the coffee
What loss to the dear lovers of coffee in the Old
North State.
Now contend that the military authority End
no right to NEEDLE with the case. The Linwood
under our laws, lawful wreck, and her officers
and crew distressed mariners, who deserved the SYM
pathes of the people. The "wreck master" should
have taken possession, and if not present the wreIs
ers should have been allowed to save the coffee,
which we are assured they would have certainly
done. The coffee should have been sold to the high
est bidder by the wreck MASTER" the wreckers
paid off their just salvage and the balance escheated
to the State, if the captain proven to be bel
Iigerant; but if rot the balance should have been
paid to the unfortunate and distressed captain, and
he and his left to get home the best they could

UNFoRTUNATE.-In several instances in the late
battle it is thought that owing to the similarity of
the dress and badges of the two armies, the South
