The Latest News.

The last mails bring no late intelligence. We
have nothing late from Van Dorm and Price. 4
great battle seems to be hourly looked for in the
neighhorhood of Memphis, and on the Mississippi
above.
There is nothing new from the Potomac or the
Peninsula. The Merrmac was to have left Gosp0rt
m Monday last No account of her up to the time
Of going to press.
But few ad ;itional particulars have reached us
from below Some doubt is still expressed as to
the death of Capt. o. R. Rand. Capt. Martin of
Moore is believed to have been killed the battle.
Oar losses cannot be determined fully till the Off
cal reports come in.
We learn that some of forces lave fallen back
6 miles from kinSton, others we believe also be-
vond that place. Gems Branch and Ransom are
there, and Gen. Anderson is in chief command.
Our troops rallymg to meet :he foe.
Several prisoners have been taken by our forces
and sent to Salisbury since the battle. Among
them two of the Dibbles, who have been for years
trading and specializing upon the people of the State.
We rejoice to see that Wilmington is to he de-
Tended to the last extremity. Gen. French has been
assigned to that command.

DESIGNS of the Enemy,

We have heard it suggested that Gen. Burnside
has an eve on the coal and iron mines in Chatham
and that his purpose is to advance towards Raleigh
Ii is rumored that he is landing means of land trans
poriaon at Newbern. His force is said to be large
including cavalry and horse artillery.
Our forces are stationed part at Goldsborough
and part near EinSton. We have an idea of the
number, which is very CONSIDERABLE and feel
sure the number is constantly increasing. The
Yankees will meet with warm reception if they
gAoud attempt an advance on kinSton.
The current of the war in this State will depend
very much upon the result of the great battle to be
fought in the neighborhrod of Memphis If we
succeed at that point, the enemy will be checked
and driven hack but if we are defeated, the Mis-
sissppi valley will be lost Virginia and North Car
DINA may be abandoned, AMI may be overrun by
the enemy. 1t remains to he whether the
President W Il give battle on the RappahannOck
This will depend, in our opinion, on the result of
movements in the Mis- S>Ippi valley.
1t is fact that the Yankees have thus far in this
war achieved no victories when they have fought at
distance from their gunboatS. They will not ven-
ture to attempt advance at any point inland
without the aid of their boats, unless with large
armies. This will give military leaders OPpOr-
tunities to condenSe our forces and meet them
With able and brave commanders, and with any
thing like fair showing against them in numbers,
the victory will be

"In North Carolina we look fcr.a considerable
improvement in our affairs, under the auspices Of
Gen. LOrIng, who We glad to See has been Or
deTed TO take the command of the army in that
State. This excellent movement, Tor 1t has most
unfortunately happened that just at the very time
North Carolina needed competent leader, not one
at hand, and consequently nothing but disaster
has Sriailen her"
We clip the above from the Petersburg Express
We have several times it stated that Gen. Lor-
ing had been assigned to North Carolina, but so far
We have nothing but newspaper statements to au-
thoriZc it. The force which trust will soon be
collected in the State, will require the experience
and skill of Major General. We have no choice
as to men, but whatever may be the opinion or the
feelings of the Confederate authorities towards North
Carolina, she certainly has claim upon the gov
ernment for a real Gencral-a of experience
of undoubted skill, and of high Fighting qualities
Our people are going to fight, but they must have a
man to lead them whose name and character will
inspire confidence. If Gen. Loring is such man.

CAPT. RANDs CoMPASY-The fate of Capt Rand,
of this County, is still in doubt as well as that of
some forty of his men, whose names we give below.
We learn from an eyewitness of the battle that
Col. Fances regiment, to which Capt. Rand belong.
ed did not receive orders a notice to retreat un-
IL an hour after the commanding General and the
other troops had left the field that the main body
of the regiment retreated up the Trent but that it
is thought Capt. Rand with portion of his men
retreated in the wrong direction towards large
body of the enemy; and that some of them were
killed. and the remnant captured. The following
arc missing: Captain o. R. Rand, Lieut.. Yinson,
Serg. d. q. Beckwith, Corporals Booth, Adams, and

4 lIKELING ArTAcx.-Souc hireling writer in
the last Register, the signature Of Fair Play"
tells number of falsehcods Oh us by way of de-
Tending Gen. Branch. If this writer soill have
controversy with about the conduct of Gen.
Branch at the battle of Newbern, let him IN the
outset answer the following questions: How was it
that the enemy permitted, the night before the
battle to cut road for miles towards and our
entertainments, over which to march-to the attack
Why was tue Railroad bridge burned, thus cutting
off at least two thousand Of our bravest men, some
of whom were actually engaged with the enemy
while the bridge was burning? Why was it that
Gen. Branch left the field while Col. Yances, and
Col. Cau!pbelrs, and Col. Averys regiments were
fighting, and hour before some of them got no.
tce, but not from him, to retreat? Why did he
not rally the cavalry and the regiments of Colonies
Sloan, Lee and Sinclair, and 60 to their relief? And
why did lie leave gap in the centre Ct his battle
array, with the militia stationed near itP
Fair Play" knows as well as we do that Gen.
Branch was appointed, not because he was qualified,
but because he belonged to a certain faction. We
predicted that he would prove unequal to the occa-
sion, and we regret that prediction has been
verified. "Our offence hath this extent-no more"
