SOME CHAPLA1Ns.-Some Chaplains are appoint

pei and seldom know what gifts and acouiremeD,,
are proper for preacher. Hence some ChapIaino
can not preach !; the churches would not have
them, and the soldiers do not want them.
Some Chapains have one sermon ONLY and tbo,
regiments consider the Gospel very monotonous
Some Chapains never see the sick and manv
soldiers die without the benefit of clergy"
Some Chaplains are too proud to shake hands
with the soldiers, and seldom seen except m
review days, when they ride in front of the lines
with feathers in their hats.
Some Chaplains have allowed the soldiers tents to
to be destroyed in order to save their cots
Some Chaplains have boxed up wine and brandy
and called their boxes food and clothing for the
soldiers"
Some Chaplans have no influence because talents
not improved are taken away.
Some Chaplains ought to profit by these hints and
pray God to pardon their SINS Those failing to do
so ought to be removed.
Some Chaplains are devout and godly men, toilinr

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher had been the Sunday

of black sheep with his views on the present war;

ours (theirs) was. He INDUCED in strain of in

Mr.. EDITOR: There were two gentlemen at Roam
oke Island acting with, though not part of the
3lst regiment whose gallant conduct is entitled to
special mention. | refer to DR.. VIM. Ii. Battle,
who accompanied the o. X. Boys as Surgeon, and
Lieut. John w. Pearson who was connected with
the regiment as drill-master. These young gentle
men were not called upon by their positions to
take part in the action but yet they were found in
the thickest of the fray wherever small arms were
used. They participated in the attack upon the
boats the 18th, to which reference has been
made in your paper and also in the redoubt on the
9th. Their bearing was such as to arrest the atten-
ton and excite the admiration of those contending
by their sides. Justice requires that some mention
should be made of their gaantry asyirom their not
being part of any regiment the official reports will
probably be silent as to the manner in which they
conducted themselves. F.

From the Richmond Enqulrer.l

When reverseS befa our arms the inquiry is often
made, whose fault was it. An eager attempt is
made to faSten it upon some one persona drunken
General, Tory or SPY. The true cause of our
misfortunes does not to have been pointed out
by any of our papers. Hence, it may not be i'm
proper to call attention to what the writer of this
conceives to be the real source of all our troubles
These are, want OF cork, and the imitation caused
by our gaseous press. Hatteras, Port Royal, Fort
Henry, and Roanoke Island could have been made
impregnabe by constructing caSe-mated and bomb
proof batteries, with intrenchments in the rear to
prevent land attack. There wers negroes enough
in the neighboring counties to have thrown up
wall ten feet high, entirely around Roanoke Island
Did the planters prefer their negroes to be stolen by
the Yankees to working for the Confederacy? The
militia from four or five counties were called out to
finish the Notifications, but were recalled by the
Governor of the State. Why was this doneY It
was either because the call was unpopular, or be-
cause Of the silly confidence inspired by our news
papers. The writer of this has been engaged for
eight months in the effort to erect forti6cations-
His experience has shown him that the contempt
felt ior the enemy prevents the volunteers and mill
TIA from making vigorous efforts for defence and the
same cause, or the stnginess of the planters pre-
vents them from offering the services of their slaves
We hear much of the patriotism of our people in
burning their towns and crops rather than let them
fall into the hands of the enemy. Would it not be
infinitely more wise and more patriotic to work and
fight for their defence? The soldier finds good
excuse for his laziness in the stereotyped cry =
" The vile Hessians will not dare attack u.s." The
planter finds good excuse foI his meanness in not
allowing his slaves to work fortlticatons in the
equally stereotyped cant. "Our brave bows can
whip the cowardly Yankees in fair field fight
without Entertainments" And SO they could on
equal terms; but when they have to contend with
treble odds in numbers, and fearful DISPARITY in
armament and equipment it is surely the part of
wisdom to use all auxiares in the way of success.

MR. EDITOR Il wish through your paper to say
a few words to the people Of North Carolina. If
their determination not to be subugated and dis
graced, it is time they should speak out with bold
ness and act with promptneSS. 1t is van-it is
worse than madness and folly for them to their
hopes ofprotecton and salvation on the authorities
Of the Confederate government They must rely
on their own resources. They must arouse them
selves, at once, to the momentouS character of the
crisis.
1t can no longer be concealed that tho fall of
Roanoke Island which unlocked the whole eastern
section Of North Carolina to the depredations of the
enemy, is owing TO the laundering, the lukewarln-
ness, the impotency of the Confederate authorities.
The enemy has pierced our lines Of defence in the
West and row threaten to cut off the entire valley
of the Mississippi from the Atlantic States.
Newbern has fallen. The enemy is making
rapid progress in the conquest and occupation of
entire sea-coast from the Virginia to the South
Carolina boundaries. They threaten to invade the
interior of our State with heavy force-nushed
with the prospect of rapine and plumber Our
wives, mothers and children are fleeing from their
homes under fear of the insults and outrages Of the
heartless and savage invaders. Will not our whole
popuation-every man who can strike blow, how
ever feeble, rally to the rescue? Are we prepared
for the ignominy and degradation which must fol-
low defeat? Can We contemplate without shudder-
ing the repetition here in own State, of the
insults, the cTueIes the blood thirsty depredations
which have marked the track of the enemy in the
States of Missouri and Virginia? Would to God
that the people Of North Carolina could look this
crisis full in the face, and meet it like men who know
and feel that all they hold dear and sacred is staked
on the issuel
Our people, the whole South were warned by as
good and true patriots ever lived that secession
was no child's play-that no government like ours
was, could not be broken up without bloodshed-
that the whole power Of the government, at Wash
ington, would be exerted to crush us, and they en-
treated the people before adopting the alternative
of secession, to prepare for 1ar. And how were
THESE warnings met? The secession leaders in eg.
