DEAR lR:-On the arrival Of the train at Hills
boro' a few evenings past the heart of many sick
and wounded soldier made glad at the entrance
of number of ladies with baskets of provisions and
delicacies which they distributed with bountiiul
hand among the sick and wounded. This learn is
daily occurrence, and is indeed most praise-worthy
and patriotic. On the occasion alluded to above
many of the ladies were put to much Inconvenience
on account of the train starting before they had
gotten through their mission of mercy, and several
Of them, unable to get off, were carried up to the
Shops. Although it must have unpleasant to them
to have been thus unceremoniously taken off, if
they could have heard the numerous expressions OF
"God bless these ladies" coming from the sick and
wounded soldier they would have felt in a measure
compensated for the inconvenience they were put
to. A hearty Amen will re.echo from every lip at
the expression, "God bless these ladies'"

The New Cabinet.

The President has at length sent in to the Senate
the names of his Cabinet and that body has con-
frmed the nominations. They as follows:
j. P BENJAMIN, of La, Secretary Of State
c. IT, Memminger, Of S. C., Sec'y Of the Treasury.
Geo W Randolph, Of Va, Secretary OF War;
S. R. Mallory, of Fla, Secretary of the Navy.
Thos. H. Watts, of Ala, Attorney General
John H. Reagan, Of Texas, Post Master General.
1t will be seen that It is composed of the same
old timber as the former Cabinet, except the addi-
ton of Messrs Randolph and Watts, and the with
drawal of Mr.. Bragg, of this State Whether the
ship will float any better now we cannot say Ger
tanly the ignoring Of all the border States except
Virginia, will leave room to complain that it does
not smell strong enough of Cotton. All we desire
is that the very best and ablest men in the Confed
eracy shall fill those posts. If the President has
secured that class of men We shall be satisfied, but
the case, to say the least, is dubious.

Clothing for the Troops at Kinston.

Clothing for the Troops at Kinston.
We invite attention to the following letter OF Col.
e. B. Vance, in which he makes known the desti-
tute condition of his men, and calls upon the peo-
pie to aid them at once with such articles as are
necessary for their comfort This appeal, we know,
will not be in vain. Hundreds if not thousands of
gallant men who were IN the battle near Newbern,
have lost all the clothing but what they had on at
the time, and it will not be possible for the State to
furnish them at once with under clothing, without
which they must suffer. Let our people generally,
and especially the Ladies Relief Societies contribute
not only to Col. Vances regiment, but to others
who are il destitute condition at Kinston. Every
one can do something to relieve the wants Of these
brave men. Articles intended for them will no
doubt be sent free of charge by the Quartermasters

Talking Sense.

Gen. Bragg not only has deal Of fighting sense,
but he has large stock Of good common sense.
In short speech which be lately delivered to the
people of Meridian, Miss as he passed through, he
said:
"Fsllow Citisens: In Difference to your repeated
CALLS appear only to see and be seen, and to tender
you my thanks for your kindness.
This is time for acts not words. Experience
has taught me- too, that every man should stick to-
his trade In many efforts, believe never made
but one successful speech-and that was in few
words, when courted my wife-the result then
being due less to any merit either in the speech or
the speaker than to an unfortunate habit Of young
ladies' Of deciding more from impulse than reason,
by which, ss in my case they are TOO apt To be un-
fortunate Ponder well, then, my fellow citizens,
this piece Of advice: call old soldier for
speeches and, If you will pardon me the liberty, I
will add nsus- send Pelitieiams to essH"ssnd your

EXEMPTION OF PRlNTERa-The Richmond Dis
patch has an article on this important subject from
which We make the following extract:
We are not aware of single country on the
face of the earth in which printers are not ex.
empted from militia duty, except in Virginia and
some of the Southern States. 1t is so in Europe,
where notwithstanding the existence of mon.
archical governments, the importance of the press
to both the Government and the people is so well
understood, that printers are exempted from q
general levy Of the population. Much more should
it be so in free country, where the press is regarded
as the palladium of liberty. We are not surprised
t2 hear that it is decidedly the sentiment Of the
Southern States now here in Congress that laws for
the exemption printers from militia service should
be enacted
