They stimulate and regulate the

the system, and are unequalled as a
purifier of the blood. By continuing
the use of Il wine glass full morning
and evening, and before meals, for a
few weeks, they will afford convin-
cling proofs Of their great medicinal
properties, and under the influence Of
their health-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment of a sound body and mind
will soon be attained.

the skin becomes steadily smooth and
bright, and they will gradually re-

this sort (similar to Hoe & Co.'S and

cast iron cylinder, it is made Of sheet

SAILING OF THE FEDERAL FLEET We learn
from a gentleman who reached this city yester-
day morning about eleven O'Clock, from the
beach, that the Federal feet began leaving the
Roads between six and seven o'clock in the
morning, and that when he left, nearly if not
all. of two thirds of it, had reached the Capes
He represents the sailing of this feet as the
grandest spectacle of the kind he ever witness
ed, and says that the Flag Ship Minnesota led
off, followed by the steam gunboats and these
again by the transports. The latter being
towed by the steamefs-thc Great Republic was
towed cut by the same steamer that brought
her in
He also states that many of the vessels
We're filed to completion with men--thathe saw
them distinctly upon the decks, anu heard
their cheering as they left.
We have been informed since writing the
above, that the Confederate Signal Boat which
left her point of observation about three
o'clock in the afternoon, reports that all the
Fe, eral vessels have gone with the exception
Of two, VIZ: The Huntress and Baltimore
steamer.
Wealso learn from the same source that an i'm
mense white signal was displayed from Fortress
Monroe, after the sailing Of the feet and re-
manned there 70: over an hour.
Where this feet has gone, we, of course, do
not as yet know; but the announcement oftheir
defeat viii soon erd all speculations upon the
subject.--M y. Day Book.

It is the first time we have ever had the pleas

WHo FIGHTS OUR BATTLES ?-Ia answer to
this question we remark that, SO far as our
knowledge extends. every class of our South
ern population is pretty we'll represented in the
camps and on the battle field. The Lawyer the
Doctor, the Merchant, the Farmer, the Me-
pro-
faner OF Gods name, the nigh and low, the rich
and poor all, all, unite in efforts to repel the
invading foe and secure, again, our indepen-
dence; and we are proud to say that no
class is better represented than the corps, ty-
geographic. Out of some ffty or sixty news
papers of this State, nearly or quite half of
them have been discontinued, and the proprie-
tors, Editors and typographers have gone to
the war. They labored with .he quill to bring
peace and quiet until they saw that nothing
would satisfy the North but an appeal to arms
wher they exchanged the quill for the sword
and musket. Ofths original panel in this i'm
mediate locality over half Of them are undsr
arms The Beaufort journal suspended on the
opening of hostilites and Captain Pool, it's Ed
itor and Proprietor buckled on his sword and
placed himself at the head of company the
American Adoocote suspended and its opera
tors have enlisted, W. Dunn, Jr, its Editor
now serving as 1st Lieutenant in an Artillery
company at Fort Macon of which DR.. Lawrence
late Editor of the Goldsboro' Rough Notes
is Captain and his associate Mr. Blount is also
a Lieut..
The Wilmington Herald and various 9TH
er papers in Eastern Carolina have suspended
and proprietors and operatives are gone to the
war while nearly or quite all those which have
not suspended have sent more or less of their
strength to swell the great torrent ofresistance
that is, finally, to sweep despotism and tyran-
ny from our land. This Office has furnished
the ARMY with three or four OF iJs ablest men,
including the editor and the rest are subject
to orders when ever our section is invaded
Then the question again presents Itself, who
fights our battTes"? Whatever the answer
may be, It includes, in an eminent degree, the
corps topographic.

STILL INcREAsING.-We learn from member
of one of the cavalry companies, stationed on
the beach, that the number of Federal vessels
in the Roads is Increasing daily. He reports
that nothing has left the Roads since the feet
began to congregate there-but one floating
battery.
He also states that the horses aboard the
Great Republic and her consort, have been
landed and supposes that some Of them were
drowned in doing so, as The bodies Of three of
them hoated ashore near their camp, with sings
upon them.-Nor. Day Book.
