JUSTICE TO HYDE CouNTY.-We are permitted,
says the Fayetteville 06ssrrer, to copy the follow
ing extract from letter of Major Edward Hall, Of
the 7th N. C. Volunteers in command in Hyde
county, to member of his family now in this place:
81 am delighted with the country I am in; it is
without doubt the finest county in the State. The
| whole county is an immense corn-feld, and the
| people the most kind and hospitable ever saw.
| We are encamped on the bank Of Matamuskeet
Lake, most beautiful sheet of water. The officers
! and men are delighted We are as near the enemy
! as we can get without crossing the sound 1 have
| cut off all communication with Hatteras, and have
to day taken eight prisoners who had taken the oath
! of allegiance The people of Hyde proper are as
true and loyal as any in the State, and not single
| Yankee has as yet landed"
This is precisely what we have said and believed
We are glad to hear that quite number of troops
have been concentrated there and that the militi:
are drilling daily. They will meet the enemy with
| bold front and drive him from their soil.
