tu.ed to write you line in sregardito matters and
things in general and some things in parsicalar in
this mountain country.
The Buncombe Rifles, Capt. Young, left our town
week ago for the seat of war, and, on next Satur.
day, Capt Hardys Artillery is to be mustered into
the service of the State. So you will see that the
spirit of volunteering is still going on in the noun
tains But this not all that is going on up here
The hydra headed monster, speculation, is at work
amongst us in all its deformty, from the two-penny
grocery keeper, who would sell his mother pound
Of coffee and charge her dollar for 1t, to the more
respectable merchant who wants fifteen cents per
mound for his salt. am not complaining at all
for think this is good time to find out the size
of mems souls; and some of them have proven, to
mathematical demonstration, that they gust hdont
got any at ILL., And further there is one here who
sells salt at the low price of thirteen cents per To-
and why may not go to him and get my supply !!
If men, spectators from other States, will just let
our provisions alone, We will be able to make out
till We can raise more; but with the encouragement
they get from our monied men, (who arc willing to
help them draw good bargain,) they are cutting
our supplies short, and fear that many volun-
teers wife and children will learn what it is to want
for the neccssares Of life. God grant that it may
not be So
We had four live Yankees brought to our town a
short time ago. They were captured in Yancey
county, and were the first of the season in this part
OF the country
Our town was visited on Sunday evening last, by
q severe hail storm, accompanied with neavy thun'
der, and smart sprnklins of rain.

L. An army is vast machine composed OF men,

impossible to an active enemy

in turning taking in flank its adversary. usually
carries with it the fortune of the day. Though en-
filade is great evil yet it is one, which. from ne

.NEwBERN INCIDENTS.

We lssrned, says the Christian Sun, several in
cidents worth relating, during our trip to Kinston
and vicinity last week..
George Perry, prompt and worthy citizen Of
Jones county, for helping retreating soldiers
across the Trent with his fat, and preserving the
guns they were compelled to leave behind, was
seized by the Federals and threatened to be shot in
his own yard. His wife entreated, and he was put
IN irons and jailed in Newbern. At last accounts,
tie irons had been removed, but he was stih in Jail.
: John Richardson ESQ.,, living about miles from
town on the Washington road, had to call on Gen.
Burnside for protection from his own negroes, who
had entered his house, declaring that he was no
longer their master, and they intended to eat and
drink whatever they pleased and he dare not IN
terfere with them. Burnside sent a guard to pro-
tcct him.
The Yankees went out to the farm Of j. NJ. F.
Harrison, prominent merchant OF New bern, and
destroyed every thing they could. Wheninquiry
was made as to the bitterness manifested towards
Mr. H., they said he "rebel captain" This
was contradcted but they said his negroes so IN
formed them, and they believed ii. Mr.. Harrison
had commenced recruiting for company, but had
not succeeded, and this the negroes had probably
learned. Thus 1t will be seen that should we be
! overcome, our negroes to be the witnesses ex-
amincd against US, and they are to inform against
Us. Old and infrm persons who sought protection
at the hands Of Gen. Burnside, were protected by a
guard. Thus when Miss Ellis the matron of the
Griffin orphan school, was disturbed bv' soldiers,
Burnside had guard placed near the premises and
no soldier was permitted to enter.
| Among the families who remained in town after
its capture, heard the following: Mr. Coles, Al
exander Justice, Lacy Phillips T. Sade, Joseph
Robinson, DR.. Disoway, L. Heritage, Prof Doherty
and DR.. Boyd Some Of them sent away some meu,-
bers of their families Prof Doherty sent his chill
dren to Graham, and he and his wife remained
| The Yankees entered the house of Mr.. Robinson,
and seeing watch in his wlfe's sick room, delibe
rately took it down and carried it off,
The lowest order of Yankee soldiers, with the
negroes, went from house to house. and where the
family was found to be absent, they entered and
took whatever they desired. All who know any
thing of the Yankee disposition to steal, and the
like disposition of the negroes, there being very
striking snude in this respect,) can we'll imagine
the state Of things.

From the Biblical Recorder. |

STRANGERs.-There are three national sins in the
Bible: the oppression of the widow, the fatherless,
and The stranger.
No people should ever Cypress the stranger
When refugees come from the lower part Of the
State, board, houserent, and provision should be
afforded on moderate terms We may need kindness
from them at some future day. The golden rule
should now be remembered. Besides, God requires
kind treatment to strangers. Washington salo
1f79 was the most gloomy year Of the resoiotlon on
account Of ertortioners. He considered them .

Extorton is more apt to be practiced to strangers
than to our acauaintances, by taking an advantage
Of their necessities. =. DODSUN.

THE BATTLE OLE MARENGO.

livery man desiring to acquire military inform
alton, AMI to estimate properly the force of disci-
pine united with courage, the advantages to be de-
rived from performing evolutiOns with steadness
and order, even under the cannon of the enemy to
witness discipline and the order of parade pre-
served by line upon which eighty pieces of artlle-
ry were vomiting fire and grape; those who wish
to see the effect of every description of troops
ployed in proper situations, and in proper times
with effect-should study the history of the memo
rable battle OF Marengo, which presents in itself
greater variety Of evolution and vcissitude and dis
play both of courage and discipline, under more ex-
traordinary circumstances, than perhaps any for
mer action
There may be seen weak advanced guard falling
back by a wing, before force double its number;
and yet, by its oh1ue order of escheon, deceiving
the more numerous enemy, and keeping him IN
check. There weak battalion, by doubling its or.
der, rcsists the shock of heavy cavalry, and sus-
tanS its position until reinforced by light artillery.
There will be seen two extended lines, executing
retreat in eXche1uer, with as much order and CON-
pactness if on parade main taning their line Of
march, and filling up the chasms made in their
moving columns, 10y the heavy and incessant fire of
artillery.
The cavalry are seen deciding the fate of battle,
by their timely and vigorous charge upon line too
weak extended, and Of unsteady order. 1t is re:
formed IN tco tines in the order of battle, and the
Austrians in three lines 1t has been generally
supposed, that the charge made upon the Austrian
flank by Gen. Dessax, charge of cavalry
whereas, it in fact a charge at the head OF
single regiment, (the 9th battalion) of infantry
The charge against the Austrian third line, where
all their artillery was collected, was also by ntan
try, that is the Grcnadiers under Gen. Lannes.-
This acton lasted fourteen hours, and constantly
through the whole time. within nusket shot; and
the French, thrown into some disorder by the car
mage made by grape shot, retired from their ground
Ttur several t.nes-and formed more compacty
filling up their ranks, and doubling, and instantly
when formed, returning again to their ground and
advancing beyond the position or alignment which
they had previously fallen back from. These move
ments surpass any thing produced by mere disci-
pine IN the annals of war and forcibly impress up
on every sensible mind the great advantage of con-
fidence IN each other, confidence in discipline and
in their Generals"
