THe True Grit.

f=sSes=t The True 0rfts
We have asked again and again, ~wAere is the
man. for the crisis IN North-C arolins Our peo-
pie, many Of them, have the pluck and tbs courage
to fight What they lack is the right men to lead
in the right place Our Colonies and Captains are,
most Of them, men Of pluck, and will fight, If they
can have the the right men who understand military
strategy and rnaneuvering to lead them. Con-
dsnes in their leaders, and affection for them, the
subordinate officers and the men must have, and
thenif they can: be armed and clothed and fed and
furnished with ammunition, they'll fight and fight
desperately. But to call out 'tmid militia without
arms or ammunition, and without the equipments
of soldiers, or even our best troops, under unin-
structed leaders, what may be expected but dis
aster and defeats . .-. - '.s.i
North Carolina needs at this moment the right
man to lead her troops, more than she needs men
noble old State to be overrun for the lack of the
manf We hope not. .. rs
Whoever that mar may be, let him take hold
with strong hand, determined to drive the enemy
back. 1t can be DONE And let him initiate the
illustrious example Of Beauregard in his recent
order to the army of the Mississippi: "Shou!d any
in this army be unequal to the task before US,
let him transfer his and equipments at once to
drawer. firmer hands, and retire to his home" 3
That has the ring of the true metal. Why band
together poorly armed timid men-rnen who have
no heart for the fight simply to be shot at and to
be captured? Away with this miserable make-sht
policy. We must have men in the field who aoilI
tight desperate'y-men who have property, as aoeJl
as rights and families and life to fight for. Men
Of wealth and influence must stand shoulder to
shoulder with poor men to fight this war out
Thank God there are many of them in the field,
and others are rallying but more are needed Let
them come let them come, and show that they are
ready to bear to their full extent the burdens of
the war

CoNsCRIPTroN IN SOUTH CARoLrA-The last Char
lesion Mercury says:
1.-The Governor and Executive Council of South
Carolina have, we learn, decided to make radical
and important change in the mode of raising troops
in this State, whenever they may be needed hereaf
ter as long as the war shall last On and after the
Goth of the present month"; all acquisitions upon the
State for troops will at once be filled By CONSUMPTION,
which very many persons, well informed on the
subject regard the most effective ard equitable
plan. The conscripts will be mustered in for the
toar. No Dotanteers, for any arm of the service,
will be received after the 10th inst. AL field and
line officers from the grade of Colonel down to that
OF Third Lieutenant will be appointed by the Gov
ernor and Council. The non-commissioned officers
ofeach company will be appointed by the Captain,
with the approval of the commanding officer of the
battalion or regiment. These, we believe, are
the main features of the new military regulations,
which will probably be published in few days"
No more volunteers it seems, are to be accepted
in South-Carona, but drafts for the war are to be
resorted to- and the drafted ars to haUe no poic
in tie appointnento Of their officers Weregard this
as an unwise policy. The men who fight our bat.
ties ought to be permitted to elect their officers
and to deny this right, and force officers on the
men, seems to US to indicate tendency to standing
armies and military despotism 4 ~ > -

Goldsboro Tribune, on the authority of Lieutenant
Pennington, that the Notifications erected below
Newbern under the direction of the State Engineer,
Mr. Thompson, were defective and imperfect There
can be no doubt that this is so. We learn that the
night before the battle Mr.. Thompson was engaged
in erecting works about the centre of our line which
ought to have been thought of and erected weeks
before This Engineer has long been an incubus on
our military operations. He ought to be removed
forthwith, and an ADLER man put in his place.

The COURAGE OF OUR Troops AT NEwBERN-
There are no Drawer troops in the Confederate States
than the North-Carolna troops. Our forces at
Ncwbern, general thing, fought WELL Enough
is known to justify the statement that several of our
regiments contended calamity and desperately
against overwhelming odds, and that the spirit which
pervaded our men generally was that evnced oy
Col. Vance, who was heard to exclaim, in the hot
test of the conflict flight on, boys-we can die,
but will never surrender" 1t is also stated that
Col. Avery, with a herosm worthy of all praise
rushed without orders to the aid of Col Vance, who
was surrounded by thousands of the enemy But
there was indeciSion, there was incompetency, and
want OF foresight on the part of some one, or on
the part of some who had the direction of the battle
which parayzed the native courage of our forces,
and led to the result which we all deplore Even
the militia We understand maintained their ground
well, and fell back only when cutfanked in large
numbers by the enemy. But they, it seems, had
been placed at that point of the battle array-the
centre-which ought to have been strongest, and on
their right gap was left, through which the enemy
poured themselves and got in our rear The truth
is our troops at Newbern did as well as any troops
Noulu h1'C NOHCi tuG circumstances. ANY
statement that they acted cowardy part is, in our
opinion, utterly unfounded The order to retreat
is said to have occasioned surprise even among
many of the rank and file but when they were
told to retreat and take care of themselves, of
course they did so, and to have been expect
ed they hurried to the bridge and through Newbern
| in some disorder One master military mind in
command of our forces on the occasion might b.ve
changed the whole result but that mind was not
there if there, it was overruled by Others Gen.
Hill won the battle of Bethel under circumstances
Instantaneous to himself as those which existed
against us at Newbern But he was removed to make
room for political General, who had never smelt
powder, and who, when he was appointed, could
not properly drill a company. To our knowledge,
four of the Colonies the field were greatly better
qualified for the command than Gen. Branch and
there were five hundred men on that battlefield
who could have commanded with more decision,
foresight and ability than Gen. Branch displayed.

cents. Refined sugars must pay eight
cents per pound whatever their quality,
and mOlasses must pay six cents per gal

who uses the lowest price tea, and sugar,
and molasses, must pay just as much tax
as the rich man, who uses the highest
