belonging to the Reform School, while stand
ing on Union street yesterday noon, was
frightened by some boys playing with shaw

wagon, demolishing the seat on which a man
was sitting, and breaking one of the axles.
The man miraculously escaped injury.

Cavalry Raid--Enemy Retreatins.


September p.
The firing heard last evening in the direc-
tion of Williamsport, proves to have been a
raid of Stewards. He crossed on Friday night
into Maryland, at that point, with his cavalry,
one regiment of infantry and seventeen pieces
of artillery Theiorce sent up TO drive him
back, arrived in the town late in the afternoon.
The firing was principally from the rebel guns.
During the night they re-crossed into Virginia,
and this morning had disappeared from the
opposite shore. No one was hurt.
The work of burying the dead still con-
tinues, averaging about 1000 per day. To-
morrow will probably finish it.
Maryland heights were yesterday occupied
by federal force.
The indications are that the enemy is con-
tinuing his retreat into Virginia, and leaving
the lines of the Potomac.

The Latest News.

inc LAtcSS NOWSs
Our last mails bring us but little news nor does
the telegraph or rumor relieve the anxiety to hear
from our brave men who are defending our soil iupou
the Peninsula, at Corinth, or other points. (
The only item of news is the fact that several
Yankee gunboats either before or Immediately after
the destruction of the Merrimac, pushed up James
river towards Richmond. They halted at City
Point, and few of the Yankees landed, but made
no hostile demonstration. The boats then kept en-
up the river and at last accounts three or more YES
sells had arrived below the first course of obstruc-
tons in the river, which said to be eight miles
below the City. A few guns had been fired, but
we presume no siege will be attempted until the
gun boats are reinforced. Some speak confidently
of the ability of the distractions and the force
on the river to make successful resistance y
our men do their duty; others, overwhelmed with
the success of Yankee gun-boats, regard the fall
of Richmond as only q question of time. Now,
the truth is, it has been shown in this war,
we mean at Fort Donelson, that Yankee gun-boats
were impotent before batteries where they have
had brave hearts and skllful hands to manage them
The panic which has seized the government and the
people, in regard to Yankee gun boats, and which
is likely to lead to the entire abandonment Of all
our coast towns and defenees, argues ine6iciency,
defective military and naval information trepdation
and cowardice
The statement in our war news column that the
Yankees under Millroy had surrendered to Gen.
Jackson is not confirmed A rumor states that they
had been reinforced by Fremont. Sharp lighting
is anticipated on Jackson's line.
Norfolk and Portsmouth were formally surren-
dered to the Yankees on Saturday last by their res
pectve Mayors, the Yankees protesting as usual to
respect private property &C. 1t is stated that Gen.
WOOL after examining the Notifications around Nor.
folk, expressed astonshment at the evacuation, and
blowing up Of the Merrimac. He said he could
have held Norfolk with the Merrimac against any
force. Whether he said as much or not it is Ger.
tain that few in the South can perceive the wisdom
or the military necessity" which demanded it.
Yankee land is jubant over the destruction OF the
Merrimac and the evacuation
PEs1ssuLA.-At last accounts McClellans advance
was at New Kent Court house, and Gen Johnston's
rear within mile The idea prevailed that Nc
Clellan would eyacuate and change his position
Whether there will be fight there, appears to be
doubtful ~r2s.
Suffolk was occupied on Tuesday last by SOC
Federal Cavalry. ~
P.S. We have just heard that q dispatch has
been received in this City, from high source, CIV
ing the gratifying intelligence that the Yankee gun
boats had been repulsed and driven back below
Richmond. One rumor is that one of the boat'
was set on fire.

3SV4su~Ak1AVIku0 EUGtObAC6e
We have no idea that North. Carolina cotton or
wool Factories should sell their goods At the low,
prices charged before the var They are justly an
titled to good living profit on the cost Of prodnc-
ton. But can shefe be any, justice, patriotism
Or conscience, in charging the exorbitant prices
which are now asked for goodsi Wealthy people,
or those who are making money by fat offices or
otherwise have no right to complain of high prices
Every body, farmers, mechanics, merchants and oil
are asking the highest price for every thing they
sell. y
What is produced among us ought not to be sub
Ject to these war prices, What is brought from
abroad, Injuries &C., may be expected to be high,
but can any man Of ordinarily humane and benevo-
lent feelings, justify the high prices charged for
cotton yarns, homespuns, &C., when cotton only
costs them or 9 cents per lbs Wespeak for the
poor, the laborng class, of which there is large
number in the State How can they be clothed and
fed at such pricesi =
We learn that the Fayetteville Factories, the Is-
land Ford Factory, Gov. Morehesds Factory in
Rockingham, and many others are charging 25 cents
per yard for homespun and 81 per bundle for yarns
We mention as an honorable exception to this ex-
tortion, that the Cedar Falls and Deep River Manu-
featuring Companies are charging only 20 cents per
yard and 81 so per bundle for the same goods
We believe the Factories at Salem, R. 1. Patter-
sons and others, also exceptions. The feeling
in the State against these exorbtant prices is be-
coming more and more hostile.
friend at our elbow suggests that it is under
stood that of the cotton Factories of this State
are clearing one thousand dollars per day on spun
cotton and cotton CLOTH The prices Of these arti-
cles have risen enormously. The people would SUBJ
init cheerully to handsome profits to the owners of
these Factories; but would not five hundred dollars
or three hundred dollars per day, satisfy them!
Alas alas! What will the poor Of this State do
next fall and winter, even for cotton clothi
But the spirit of extortion and speculation per-
vades all classes The owners of Factories are not
alone to blame. May God deliver the country from
extorton, speculation selfsceking vice, forgetfu-
ness Of Him, and party hatel

THs EVACUATION evacuation of Norfolk and
Portsmouth without shot, and the destruction of
so large an amount of public property, does not
strike every one as wise or necessary measure yet
it must be apparent that the fall of those places
has been foregone conclusion ever since the cap.
ture Of Roanoke Island. Mr.. Benjamin perhaps
before this concludes that the taking Of that Island
was not SO small an affair after ALL The policy,
however, of surrendering those places and destroy
ing the Merrimac, just at the time when they were
so much needed, to force Mcclellan to move upon
Richmond directly by the way Of the Peninsula,.
msy well be doubted. Tho evacuation of those
places gives Mcclellan an opportunity Of moving
upon it both in front and rear. D
We have heard nothing direct from Norfolk and
Portsmouth, since the evacuation Of those places
The last report is that Suffolk in possession Of
the enemy. -.

Profit and Loss.

This is an account which every judicious business
man will always keep, if he would be successful It
is one that the government and our generals ought
to keep their eyes on constantly. West Point is
rolicking, don't care, ex.ravaeant reckless fellow,
siarched up in "fuss and feathers" He knows
how to plan and strategitize, and to burn up and
destroy the peoples property but some of our West
Pointers have yet to learn to fight or to take care
of what they have. This policy is running tho
South. "Stonewall" jackson and Sterling Price,
the best fighting men we have never lose any
thing when it can be saved. If they intend to re-
treat or "fal back" as the cant phrase is, they
always forecaste and prepare for it in advance
Hence, their losses of men, provisions, &c, arc
always small.
The failing back" from the Potomac was at .
loss Of or 81, 100000. The officers and soldiers
alone lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in
clothing trunks, equipage, &c. The loss resulting
from the falling back at yorktown must have been
immense Many of our men have lost all their
clothes, &c. But our West Pointers who make
money easily, don't care fig for it if they can
with any face put in plea of military necessity"
"Military necessity" has nearly destroyed all our
powder, cannon, shot, bacon and provisions, cloth.
ing and equipments, or put them in the hands Of
the Yankees. 1t has surrendered New Orleans and
destroyed millions of property there. 1t has sur
rendered Norfolk, Portsmouth and the finest Navy
Yard in the country, destroyed the Merrimac, and
yet more recently burned up the navy yard and
property at Pensacola. Is there to be any end to
this things Shall Mobile, and Savannah and Rich.
mond, and Petersburg, and Charleston, and Will.
mington share the same fate in a few weekss~ II
so, Mr.. Mallory, the Secretary of the Navy, will
soon be out Of business entirely. f-s
With all these losses, what have We gained BY
strategy and "militsry necessityr Let our gem
erals study "profit and loss" little. =

inclined to the opinion that justices of the Peace

conversed with an eminent legal friend who insists
that we are mistaken. He says that the fact that

ties to perform, their Courts are always open. and
