First N. G.. Cavalry.

We were glad to receive call last week from
Col Ransom, of the first N. G. Cavalry of the Army
OF the Potomac. We beg the attention of North
recruits for his noble regiment. We have no regi-
ment in the service of which North Carolina is
prouder and no officer more brave or capable to
lead them to victory. Recruits will be amply pro-
vided for by the Confederate government, mounted
and fully equipped. This regiment affords our
strong young men the very best oppor' unity for
doing their country service and of obtaining honor
able distinction. Rally then, to the call of your
country.
Col Ransom will feel himself much indebted to
the press Of the State, if they will notice his CALL

The Esqeirers Gress Reflections on North.Car.
oiina Troops IT Roanoke Isasd.
The Richmond Enquirer Of Saturday last, joins
other papers in that State in magning and libelng
Carolna troops in the late battle on Roanoke
Island The Enquirer. after claiming all the credit
for Virginia troops, says:
"indeed, the defeat Of our handful Of heroes is
attributed less to the superior proves of the
mys hosts, than to the alleged eowardly detection
OF North Carolina regiment, whom not even the
knowledge that they fought for the defence Of their
own nresidss, could, it appearS inspire with cour
age to dare the worst. A portion Of the same regi.
ment is said, however, to have stood their ground
noby, and to have calamity vind:cated the fame of
the Old North State, sadly jsopardized by her less
worthy sons"
Now, it was exceedingly imprudent in the Eaqu;-
rsT to make any such statement as the above at this
tme even lift be true but not clearly aseertained
to be true before was made what should be thought
or said Of its authori We do not believe it to be
true. We believe that the North Carona troops
bore themselves as we'll in this conflict as,the VIZ.
ginia troops; and We shall continue so to believe
until we have undoubted proof to the contrary.
The Enquirer has made not only grave but 4
mortal charge against North Carolinians Where
are its proofs to sustain this charge? If We shall
fnd-as we believe we will-that the Enquirer, af
ter claiming all the credit for Virginia troops, has
libeed brave soldiers and if shall have good
reason to believe that the Enquirer is sustained in
making this charge by the common government at
Richmond, and by any considerable portion Of the
people of Virginia. shall advocate the withdrawal
of troops from the soil of that State, and the
adoption Of such measures as will protect our own
State against the enemy. Wedeeply regret to have
to such language, but we shall defend the char
acter of our own noble old State at all hazards.
We have nothing to say against Virginia or Viz
ginians. We lament the untimely fall of Wise and
Selden, and other glorious spirits from Virginia,
who poured out their blood in that unequal conflict
but while We lay the cypress upon their tombs, we
must be permitted to claim for our own sons IS
much credit for gallant bearing the occasion re-
ferred to as has been accorded to Others
We are grati6ed to state that the Petersburg Er.
press and the Suffolk Sun appear to have done jus
tice to the troops from this State.

NEwBERN PRoGREss.-Our friend Of the Progress
complains because We did not publish bis reply to

Progress notices as personal did not strike US at
the time, or We should have omitted it The reply
Of the Progress was too long for our crowded ccl-
umns, and it was almost entirely personal, &C.

have been so contradictory which we have received

that flag Of truce from the Island received at Nor

The Virginia papers report the names OF |ir-
gnians killed, but as they say nothing more, we
conclude the other were North Carolnans. The
Federal loss is said to be So Colonels and other

establishment OF VoLuNrEERs.-The attention of

State to call upon the common government to offer
bounties of land to our soldiers, and pensions in
case of death or disability. 1t is also just and pro-
per that the rank and file should have the right to
elect their company or commissioned officers, and
the company officers the Geld officers; and We are
glad the Convention has so decided. The right Of
the volunteer to say by his vote who shall command
him in camp and lead him in battle, is fundanen-
tai principle which should never be abandoned.
