GENTLEMEN direct from Richmond say that North
Carolna is decidedly above par in that city at the
present time. The North CarOIinians have done the
hardest fighting and the most of it this time and in
iced there are so many North Carolina regiments
there that it would be hard to fight battle without
having goody proportion of North Carolinians in it.
We take it that there are forty North Carolina
regiments in the army at Richmond. The precise
number we DO not know but not less than fortythree
regiments at that point The ranks Of several of these
regiments very thin, the 5h 18Th, 4th eth and
others that had hard service and lost good many
men, but again the majority Of the regiments more
than usually full.

The last few days have been marked by intense ex-
element and eager desire to hear from the seat
war below Richmond and although the reliable gentle
man is much less active in his habits now than former
ly he still does travelling and has not wholly re-
tired from business The details are hard to get and
genuine intelligence from the battle field comes slowly
That we have got behind the enemy the North and
East of the Chickahominy, and consequently between
him and his source of supplies pretty certain and that
we hope to reap highly important advantages from this
position of things is equally certain. But of course the
extravagant stories of Nc Ceans captuation and such
other marvellous things ns could be heard at any time
yesterday, really amounted to nothing.
The following special despatch was received here
this morning.
RICHMOND June Doth, 1862.
FULTON & PRICE:
The First, Third and Eighteenth regiments have been
heard from to-day No casualties among their officers since
Thursday. All advancing.

WE ARE anxious to obtain information in regard to
the killed and wounded in the different regiments from
North Carolina engaged in the recent and still pending
battles near Richmond, and shall do all we to OBJ
tain such information in order to spread it promptly
before our readers, and thus relieve much anxiety and
suspense We beg Of all who receive or have in their
possession any information of this character that they
will be SO kind as TO let US have it for the public con-
Yenience.

THE PRECISE POSITION Of things in the vicinity of
Richmond appears to be almost impossible to find out.
We take it that it is known to the Generals command
ing our forces but certainly does not appear to be
know to the outside public
The telegraphs which we lay before readers are,
no doubt as much worthy of credit any outside
counts can be- but as will be SEEM although they are
favourable they far from satisfactory 1t is pretty
evident that the situation is not precisely the sort of
situation that General Mcclellan barganed for. 1t
would appear further that the Federal forces assed
on the James River side Of the Peninsula his main
dependence for extrcation being placed upon the
feet in that River, and we rather think that no effort
viii be spared on the part of the feet to try and silence
cur batteries at Drurys Bluff If successful in doing
that and removing the distractions, the presence of
hostile vessels in the james, in front of Richmond
would have tie effect Of undoing much Of what
has been done during the last few days, ard OF
throwing the Conederates into very doubtful position
while of course it would relieve Mcclellan to an extent
corresponding to the amount Of the difficulty and danger
woud occasion the Confederates But we apprehend
that the capture of Drurys Bluff by the enemy, much
as they might desire it, is not the papers, and Nc
Clelan must seek some ether mode Of extricaon. His
communications appear to be intercepted and his ee
graphic wires destroyed cut and from the position Of
his army at last accounts should think that he was
resting his army on the James River aud not on the
York, which was his original base, which would indi
cate that Jackson had pushed SO far round on his right
flank as to be measuraby in bis rear between him and
West Point. If he telegraphs he will have to send the
dispatch down the river to Old Point and if reinforce
meus are SENT they will probably arrive up the James
and be landed from transports at point on its
Rorthern hank

THERE is no doubt but that fighting was resumed
yesterday with considerable violence the Conederates
advancing upon Mcclellan and forcing him still farther
The enemys boats opened Drawry's Bluff, but with
out effect.
Most likely more Or less fighting is going on now.
An important movement may be looked for in the
West within the next ten days. Not retreat We
expect to hear of stirring times. Bragg means mis-,

WE RATHER take it that Butler is already somewhat
sorry he published his Infamous proclamation aimed at
the ladies of the City Of New Orleans, proclamation
so Infamous that, at first, the papers Of Buffers
party denied its authenticity, and said it was a mere
get up by Beauregard to naame the passions Of the
Southern people against the enemy. But at last it
was acknowledged to be true, and even justified, until
it found its way to England, and attracted the attention
of the first men in the nation far rank and polt
cal position is concerned. Lord Pamerston thinks
Butler disgrace to the Anglo-Saxon race. lie is
disgrace to the whole human race.
