VOLUNTEERING IN COLUMBUS COUNTY
WATEsvnLk, Jan. 23d. 1862.


W. W. HOLDEN, ESQ.,: @ -:
Dear Sir: Last spring when the people of North
Carolina with those Of the Southern States were
aroused by the startling intelligence that our whole
country was to be invaded by the Northern enissa-
RES the citizens Of Columbus county feeling their
duty, as liberty-loving people to drive back the
enemy from our sacred SOIL at once rallied for that
object. Out Of about 1870 persons between IS and
A years of age SO at once few to arms aud are
now IN the field for action and to fight for the ber
nes OF their country which only left 62O persons on
t u. Militia roll. Last week Adjutant General j. G.
aarun, called on our Colonel, John H. Stephens, to
;urhlsn one-hrd OF the remaining militia to be held
AT 'e"oiness to march at moments warning to any
Pa', VI North Carolina which might be invaded
yesterday, the end inst, was the day appointed
y Tue Golohel tor volunteering the number to be
au'"'sneu was 2o' men, the Captains Of the several
companies called their men into ranks: the ranks
were opened Snd the call for volunteers vas then
matte, and while the bosoms of all were beavinr
with patriotism, old and young commenced falling
INTO line in the centre until We had oyerrun tn. re-
lulstr humber called for
Let me assure you, Mr. Editor, that it required
no urging to induce them to volunteer for the defence
OF their country
FROM the above, you will see that when the alarm
ol war was first heard, Old Columbus, of 80 men,
sea, ofo' and Of the G2o remaining, one third
or sls volunteered yesterday, and now only about
4' are left and they willing and will be ready
to 50 If called for What county has done more
than this?

The FLEEr-Much doubt exists in the public
mind as to the condition or desi gns Of the Burnside
expedition Accounts from the North indicate that
it has been severely damaged Last Saturday it was
announced in Richmond that the expedition was
failure. But our accounts from Newbern indicate
very different state of things.
Ga yesterday week, Col. Singelary left New5ern
in steamer to nakea reconnaissance Oft enemy at
liatteras The storm forced him to seek shelter at
Beacon Island He returned to Newbern on Satur-
day evening last and we learn that Gov. Clark has
received advices to the effect that Col S. obtained
from persons at Ocracoke the information that about
30 vessels were over the Swash in hcSound and that
50 others were at the inlet, and about so outside
The force is said to be about 600 men. The im-
preston prevailed that Newborn, Roanoke Island
and Hyde county would be attacked. Other accounts
state that this information was the result of
noisance made before the storm on Wednesday last.
later account represents that 90 vessels in
side the Sound and about so outside besides one
more on the beach 1t is difficult, however to as
certain the real state Of things from persons living
about 0cracoke. AS yet We have no information
from the neighborhood of Roanoke Island.
LAST OF THE FLEET.-We have no news ria New
bern since Monday We learned on Monday evening
that martial law had been declared at Newbern ;
that the cars did not come up to Goldsboro' and
that an attack was hourly expected at that place.
The Richmond Dispatch announces on the con.
trary, that Com. Lynch bad just returned from a
Reconnaissance off Hatteras, and that he saw no war
vessels there except few transports and coasters,
which he supposed had put i'll there account Of
the storm. The impression about Norfolk seems to
be that the feet has been sent to "Davy Jones'
locker" So mote it be.

IS A Scene In the ConYentiOn.O

We think our neighbor Of the Register has done
injustice to Messrs. Badger, Rayner and Graham in
relation to what he calls "a scene in the Conven-
ton" We witnessed the whole OF it, and we saw
nothing but what frequently occurs in dcberatire
bodies, as the result of ordinary diSputation and
difference Of opinion. We did not hear Mr. Rayner
burst angrily out in reply to Mr. Badger; nor
did we perceive that Mr., Badger was disposed to
treat Mr. r. diScourecusly or unkindiy 1t is true,
the discussion between these gentlemen, though
brief, was somewhat animated; but no anger or
bitterness was exhibited
The intimation that Mr.. Graham acted the part Of
"stage manager on the occasion, is not only ab-
surd but a mere fiction OF our neighbour imagina-
ton Mr. Graham as every onein the Convention
perceived, simply rose at the time to submit Il few
remarks on the question before the Convention
We saw no management" whatever.
The slang terms which our e,shbor uses in speak
ing of Mr.. Badger Will pass for What they are
worth. They will not iniure the venerable and dis
tinguished gentleman to whom they are applied.

Col. HAMILTON, of Texas, who has had
full opportunity to ascertain the intention
and spirit of the leaders of the Southern
rebellion, said in one of his recent speeches
in New York that they are against DEM
ocratic form of government because the
safe existence of slavery is impossible IN
der popular institutions, and that they in.
tend to adopta system based upon aristoc-
racy. They hoped at the start to conquer
the whole country and radically change
the government; now they will be satisfied
it allowed to try their experiment with the
slave States alone. But it is impossible
that the leaders shall consent to peace
which does not permit secession. There is
no future for them in the Union. Colonel
.Hamiitou says.-
"They know that if the government Of
the United STATES should. in its mercy,
pardon th-ir OHenses, and restore them to
their rights under the constitution, their
own fellow .citizens who have been their
victims would spurn them away, and they
are as effectually cut off from preferment
as if they had been convicted of high trea-
son. The very desperation with which
they are struggling ought to prove to you
and the world that they will never stop
while they can get men to bleed; they will
never cease to fight as long as there is a
hope of success. because it is the only
hope of salvation to them. They do not
feel for the sufferings of the wives and the
children that arc made widows and orphans
by this unholy war; it never has entered the
mind of one man in this rebellion who un-
derStood its object to shed tear for all the
bloodshed, misery aud woe which it in
volved. The war must be put down by
bayOnets, by powder aud ball, by brave
hearts and strong arms"
If by any means the people of the South
could act independently of their leaders,
there would be still hope of putting
down the rebellion before the men and
meaus of the entire South are exhausted by
the war, But there is no such bope,-
Submission would be worse than death to
the leaders, aud they will therefore resist
if possible till they have sacrificed the last
man and the last dollar, aud laid their
section desolate. The talk about peace in
the rebel Congress is only bait for northern
gudgeons. They do not seek any such
peace as can be granted, and their aim is
to destroy the unity of northern sentiment
