places have handsome lists.
1t is important however, to the interests of the
State, and to the promotion of conservative princ-

its circulation be extended. We hope our friends

BOARD OF OFFICERs.-We have received a commu-
nicaton from Camp Campbell, in which it is stated
that examining board of officers has been estab
lishcd at that place, and that company officers only
being examined as to their proficiency in tac-
tics. The communication shall appear in our next,
being unavoidably crowded out of this issue. 1t
seems to us that board of this Sort if necessary or
proper at all, should examine the field as we'll as
the company officers. But there is no law for such
board. Consequently, it has no power to strike
any officers name from the rolls, or to require him
to resign, So as to make room for another. The
whole proceeding is voluntary, and outside or
above the law.

Oath of Office.

We presume it is not generally known that the
Legislature, at its last session. passed act requr
ng-all Judges, Justices and others holding Office in
this State to take oath to support the Constitu-
ton of the Confederate States, before proceeding
further in the discharge of their duties. The law is
very proper one, but we confess we did not know
of its existence until our attention was called tojt
by friend, few days since. We give the law, as

The Yankee Raid in OnsIow.

An intelligent and reliable citizen of Onsow, in
forms us that the enemy did not land in the Coun-
ty more than or GOO men, during his recent raid.
Five or six steamers made their appearance near
Swansboro on the 22d utimo, but did not land in
force until Saturday. They destroyed Mr.. Bar
NUNS salt factory entire, at Swansboro, and then
went up Queens creek, and landed on Mr.. l. N.
Sanders farm, destroying much of the standing
corn-passed on to Mr.. Hawkins and Col. Sanders
salt factories-destroyed the former, and damaged
the latter considerably. Fortunately, the dcsruc.
ton of salt factories not so great as reported
some of them being at points they did not reach
They pundered houses, killed the hogs and cattle,
and stole everything they could we'll remove, taking
off about 30 negroes with them They left on Sun
day. Our correspondent says, that at the time,
there were from 800 to $50 Confederate troops in
the County, who are paid by the government to
protect the property of the citizens, but they did
not lift finger to prevent their depredations" He
thinks by proper management forces there could
have taken destroyed the entire force sent to de-
stroy Hawkins and Sanders salt works.

Inaupuration of Gov, Vance.

Gov Vance will probably arrive in this City on
Friday Or Saturday next and will take the oaths of
office on Monday next, the 9th instant. He will,
consequently, be Governor from the 9th day Of
September, 1862, until the lst day of January, 1865.
We understand the Inauguration will take place
in the Capitol Square, and will be public The
oaths of office will be administered by Chief Justice
Pearson and the Inauguration will commence about
twelve o'clock large concourse of people will no
doubt be present on the occasion.
We learn that the fine band of the Goth regiment,
stationed near Petersburg, will be present on the

The Situation.

The Situation.
At no period since the war began, have the pros
poets of the Southern Confederacy been so bright
as at present. A few months ago the West and
Southwest were, to all appearances, under the iron
heel Of the Lincoln despotism Kentucky, Tennes.
see, Missouri and Arkansas were nearly overrun by
the Yankees and Louisiana Mississippi and Ala
bana were seriously threatened. The coasts of
Georgia, South Carolina and North. Carolina were
ravaged and inland advances daily expected. Most
OF Virginia was in the hands of the enemy, ard our
capital according to the calculations of the enemy
was soon to fall into his hands,
How changed the prospect! Although the enc
my is in possession of the Mississippi, our brave
people in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri
are rallying to the rescue, and forcing the enemy
into smaller compass and gradually expelling him
from those States. With a competent leader, and
arms and ammunition this would be done entire,
perhaps, IN sixty days Our guerrilla force in Mis-
souri, is becoming terror to all who oppose them.
In Kentucky and Missouri the cause of Lincoln
ism is evidently on the decline. The real issue of
this war is becoming more apparent to them, to be
the determination of slavery. Could strong Con-
federate force be marched into those States at once
there are thousands, no doubt, who would rush to
our standard who have hitherto stood aoof The in
dcations are that the enemy will be driven out of
Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky in
few weeks. The coasts of Georgia, South and
North Carolina are in possession of small forces who
continue to commit depredations upon unarmed
citizens, steal their negroes and other property, and
who should be driven out or captured.
Richmond is no longer menaced but our brave
army threatens Washington City, and may be al
ready at its gates The North so long the invaders
will in turn be invaded, and the enemy will be made
to feel the desoatng footsteps of hostile forces.
Thus it is, in few weeks, under the favoring
hand Of a benign Providence, and the infusion of
greater vgor and system in the conduct of the war;
since Gen. Randolph and Gen. Lee have been in
Office, our affairs have assumed new aspect-vic-
tory has crowned our arms in every contest upon
land Our people are becoming more fully assured
of our ultimate triumph and are ready to make the
necessary sacrifices to accomplish it. The present.
however, is the most important period of the war
to u.s. Much may be done in the next three months
to force the burdens of the war more directly upon
the enemy. Everything depends upon the vigor,
energy and promptness Of the government and our
commanders, in meeting the crisis Additional
forces are required, which must be promptly fur
nished. Great energy, economy, integrity and
close attention needed in the commlssary quar-
Nmaster, ordnance and medical departments of
the army, and the utmost vigilance and courage are
wanted on the part of our officers and men. Let
US strike manfuly, vigorously, and quickly into the
ranks Of the enemy, and our success is certain

The Latest News.

Rumors from the Potomac seem to be abundant
about Richmond, but we have nothing entirely
liable from the operations of the armies
The impression prevails, in some quarters, that
portion of our army in the of the enemy and
that fight must have been forced upon him on
Saturday or Sunday last, but of this We have evil
dence.
heavy battle at Bristow Station near Manassas
is said to have occurred Friday last, in which it
is said Gen. Ewell after having been twice driven
from the field, being reinforced gained signal tri
umph over the enemy taking several batteries and
5000 prisoners This also needs confirmation.
1t is rumored also that Gen. Stuart had taken
Harpers Ferry and holds the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad
Gen. Stuart is said also to have captured several
trains loaded with stores and 1000 soldiers coming
up from Alexandria to reinforce Gen. Pope, without
firing gun.
The government at Richmond so far, has not au-
thorzed the publication of any thing connected with
the campaign on the Potomac; we are therefore at
a loss what to believe
There are reports of great reaction in favor of
the South in Northwestern Virginia. Many of the
people are said to be focking to army. 1t is
also said that Carlisle is stamping that region
against the war and in favor Of the South.
Northern dispatches state that Gen. Buckner has
Confederate force of % 900 at Somerset KY, that
Gen. Bragg has 10000 at Chattanooga, and Gen.
Marshall is on the Big Sandy river with $4,000.

than justice to the garrison, which ndered

Yankees in Beaufort County.


The presence of the Yankees in Washington con.
tinues to afford facilities for the escape of large num-
bers of negroes from all parts Of the County, and
from Pitt and Martin Counties The Yankees are
conscating and appropriating to their own use the
produce of the farmers of that section. A friend
informs US that recently there were about 1000
Yankee troops at Washington. Another states that
they have lately been reinforced by 500 cavalry
He also informs US that Stanly has certainly given
notice to the people Of Beaufort and perhaps to 9TH
er Counties, that they must take the oath Of ALE
glance to the Lincoln government or leave, of course
without their property. The object is to possess
themselves Of the property of our people, or compel
them to ignore their own government, which will,
of course, subject them to the draft now being
forced in Norfolk and Princess Ann Counties, and
throughout the Northern States. Many persons
will no doubt leave, if our government affords them
no protection. Others from sheer necessity, being
without means to remove, may feel compelled to take
the oath. Is there no rem edy for this? Will not
our government exert itself to rid them of the Yam
KEGS?

The rumored fight on Tuesday last, in which it
is said Jackson captured 1000 of the enemy, has
