The Power OF RIFLED GUNs-SH1Ps AGAINST Bat
TEn1Es-lMpoRrANT OFFICIAL SUGGESTIONS. -Colonel
Harvey Brown, the Yankee commander at Fl Pick.
ems gives the following as facts elected in the bonn
bardment of the 22d ult, in a report to the War
Department at Washington
!. That with the most efficient guns Of the largest
calibre and served in the best manner, no serious
injury can be done to stone or brick walls or to
guns IN sand batteries or to troops serving them,
unless probably by rified guns if properly protect
ed, at a distance Of FROM two thousand to three
thousand yards.
ed on for firing even wooden buildings, unless hay
ing in them ncendiary composition.
8. That pieces Of port fire are nearly useless as
such incendiary composition.
4. That brick buildings, covered with slate, can
not be fired by either hot shot or shells, at the dis
lance named, unless by accident unless the shells
have rock fires.
s. That the trouble and expense incurred in pro-
tecting forts By sandbag traverse ETC., is far more
than repaid by the saving of the lives Of the de-
tenders. =
g. That no dependence is to be placed on James
rifle projectiles either as it respects accuracy or
range. If I had had guns to be depended on could
have silenced most of the enemies sand batteries,
and the guns in Barra .sas.
z. That ships with their present armament can
not for an hour contend against riAed guns, and
that if our navysis not at once supplied literally
with good rlaed guns, it will be very likely to be
disgraced.
8. That on service here, and believe the remark
applies with equal force to every river and harbor
in the gull, gun-boat drawing six feet water, and
we'll armed with good rifed guns, can do more and
better service than forty gun ship, or than such
ships as the Niagara and Richmond.
9. That sail vessels are utterly useless in en-
| forcing blockade.
10. That PARROTS rifed guns are efficient, and
that forts should be Immediately supplied with them
J and with full supply Of ammunition.

OrARrERxAsrER's DEPARTMENT,
RaLeigh. Jan, 4, 1861

Raleigh, Jan. 4, 1862.
". W. HOLDEN, ESQ.,
DsaR SIR nv attention has been called to-day
for the first time to letter in your paper, OF the
Esd ult, from Capt John A. Graves, OF Casweh,
and As the circumstances which are the subject OF
that letter are not singular must beg the favor OF
some portion of your next issue to explain them.
The Confederate government gave notice some
months since, that they found it impossible to clothe
the troops in their service and instead OF clothing,
determined to pay fifty dollars per annum to each
man. The Legislature of North Carolina ordered
at its August session that the North Carolina troops
should be clothed by the State authorities. Notlce
was accordingly given to the Colonies IN service
that they should make orders on the Confederate
government for the clothing money to be signed by
the Captains of the several companies and forward
ed to this Office Many of the Captains did this,
but some, of which number is Capt. Graves, de-
clined doing so, who received the money from the
Confederate government, and trusted to their own
exertions to clothe themselves. In the execution
of this purpose many of them have called upon the
State authorities to sell them some portion OF the
material necessary to effect the object AFTER grant,
ing orders in few instances, to the factories to sell
cloth, it became apparent that the department oy
doiugso, was seriously imparing its power to clothe
those men, who having turned over their communal
ton money, looked to the department for the whote
Of their clothing Justice to them required that un
til they were provided, the whole means at the u.s.
possl Of the department should be used for thus end
only. So soon as this class OF men are clothed the
energies of the department will be at the service OF
any company requiring partial equipment In
the particular case mentioned by Capt Graves, the
regiment to which he alludes having sent in its
Communication orders for clothing has not yet been
. fully equipped, and the equipment would have been
much longer delayed had it not been for the discon-
tinuance Of such orders as he solicited.
The case of the merchant in Caswell county, sell
ling cloth obtained under an order from an officer
of this department. was one in which the officer
giving the order acted under misap2rehenson OF
its object and was at corrected by him as soon
as his attention was drawn to il.
The failure to answer the letter of complaint to
the Governor must lie on the Post Office depart
ment as reply was addressed to Capt. Graves, at
Yanceyville, on the 29th of November. from this
Office. Yours, &C.,

Mr. EDITOR: Winter with It's chilling winds and
its cold rains has come. IT'S dark and gloomy
day, aud The shivering sentnels as they walk the
weary rounds painfully remind US that the soldiers
life is not altogether romantic 1t is well for our
company that We have not been forgotten by the
ladies of Chatham. Their tender sympathies and
their kindness and industry have eectually shield
ed us against the rigors of the winter. Would that
q few such spirits could have the opportunity of
ministering to the sick soldiers in our hospital
MANY of those whom their friends have nearly des
paired Of upon whose cheek the hectic flush is seen,
where disease, in our opinion, has long ago hung
out its flag of no surrender would doubtless recov-
er when accustomed to voices and deeds of kindness
reminding them Of the comforts and the pleasures
of home 1t may we'll be said of our company
"These, the forest born
And forest nurtured-a bold, hardy race,
Fearless and frank, uufe'tered, with big souls
In hour Of danger
But in this, the darkest hour Of the struggle thus
far, amid the exposure to the cold wind and rain,
our condition must have been far but for the
efforts of the ladies in our behalf Amid such pa
trotic efforts no true Southern will despair of
our independence. We fear no permanent invasion
of North Carolina at least if of any portion Of the
Southern Confederacy The memories that gather
around the name of the Old North State, are such
as to make patriots of US all and heroes whenever
the opportunity presents itself. When most of the
friends OF constitutional liberty in North Carolina
shall meet soldiers DEATH if that time should ever
come still will it be said Of liberty in France:
"The violet still grows in the depths of thy valleys;
Though withered, thy tears will unfold it again"
