Gen. Gwynn has published lengthy statement
of his connection with the coast defenceS of North
Carolina We have not had time to read it yet, but
soon we do we will make synopsis of his
statement. OF course, human-naturc like, the Gen
eral undertakes 20 clear himself of all blame which
is more than the public generally is willing to do
Charlotte Democrat
We are surprised at the Democrat. The Editor
admits that he has not read Gen. Gwynn's defence,
and yet he takes it for granted that he deserves
blame, and he still blames him for his management
of the coast defcnces. So far as the public gener-
ally" is concerned, we have seen no one who
has read Gen. Gwynn's defence, who does not
consider it triumphant ami conclusive in every re-
spcct We trust the Editor of the Democrat will
read General Gwynn's defence carefully, and then
say what he thinks of it as a just and impartial
man.

KittreIl'S Springs.

We visited Kittrelrs on Saturday, and returned
on Wednesday last. We had not been there since
the improvements on the premises by the Messrs
Blacknal; and must say, in justice to these gen.
tlemen that they have exhibited much judgment
and enterprise both to the character and extent
of their accommodations. We found and left some
sixty to seventyve persons at the Springs, though
the is far advanced and the nights were cool
in that locality. We learn that at one time during
the past summer, there were from three hundred to
four hundred persons at these Sprngs-a larger
number than at any watering place in the Southern
States during the late season. There be
doubt about the valuable properties of these waters
DR.. Blacknall of the proprietors, is constantly
in his place. and omlts neither pains expense to
render his guests comfortable. We return him
thus publicly sincere thanks for attentions and
courtesics shown to U.S. The other proprietor c.
C. Blacknall, Esq, is absent in the service at Ma
nassas.
This is destined to be one of the most fashionable
places of resort in the Confederate States.
Col Spruills regiment of cavalry is stationed for
the present near kittrclTs. This is fine body of
men, commanded by excellent officers Some sick
ness prevails in the regiment, but it is believed that
it will not become general or very fatal.

YANKEE AFFECTION FOR THE NEGRo.-We learn
that three out of four negro men, pilots and boat
men, who made their escape at a certain point on
our coast to one of the Yankee vessels endeavored
to return to their homes, and were shot in the at
tempt. They were worked so hard by the Yankees
that they could not stand it, and were shot down
like dogs when they tried to get away. This is a
specimen of Yankee affection for the negro.

WnMINGroN.-We are glad to perceive that the
most active preparations are going on for the pro-
lection Of Wilmington against the invader. Col.
Fremont, by his energy and skill, well merits the
favorable notice we took of him some time since,
when we commended him but without success to
the favorable notice of the now defunct Military
Board of this State. Col. W. c. Howard proposes
to raise regiment of cavalry for the defence of
that place and its vicinity. This is capital idea.

of age, for service on coast. The members of
the company are to serve without pay, but to be
supported, of course, by the State. Gen. Walter
Gwynn, we understand, will command the company.

NORTH CAROLINA GREEN TEA.-The Washington
Dispatch announces that Mr.. Selby Spence of Hyde
county, has succeeded in raising ten twelve bush
els of green tea-the veritabe China tea-on his
premises the present year. The seed were obtained
years ago from an English Captain, and the Dispatch
thinks, that Mr.. Spencers experiment demonstrates
that it can be successfully raised in this State 1t
is said to make beverage nearly equal to the China
tea.
1t is certainly worthy the attention of planters
and gardeners in the State. Can the seed be OBJ
tanned from Mr.. Spencer?
