Mr. EDITOR Il ask little room in your paper
to inform the friends of the soldiers of the 18th N.
G. Regiment of the condition in which their sons,
brothers, fathers and husbands are painfully endu
ring the rgors of the present severe weather, and
to suggest the means by which their necessities
may be relieved. Many of the men are without a
change of clothing, many thinly clad, many are
barefoot and many are without bed clothing of any
kind, using tents and flies in place of Blankets
Their suffering is great and painful to witness. /
will say for them-olficers, non-commssioned Off
GERS and privates that body of men ever yielded
o more cheerful performance of duty than do the
members of this regiment. No one ever shrks a
duty-not one ever asks to be excused, unless he
is really unable to do duty. Under sense of their
wellmerited desert gladly render this tribute of
praise. And now make an earnest appeal to their
friends at home in their behalf

Colonel LeYenthorpe

Mr.. EDITOR 1t is matter of no little surprise
to me, and doubtless to many others, that amongst
the numerous promotions in our State to the Office
of Brgadier General that of Col. LeVenthorpc Of
the lth Bethel Regiment has never been announced
There is certainly more deserving of the
honor nor any more efficient officer in the Confede
rate service His promotion desired and ap-
piled for, unsolicited, by Ex-Gov. Clark, of this
State, some twelve months ago. Gen. French and
other distinguished gentlemen have likewise re-
commended him, and their petitions have been un-
noticed whilst time and again others have been pro-
noted and in some instances, senior officers, which
is certainly very discouraging TO brave and patrl
otto man. Col L. is very xperienced-having been
an officer in the regular English service ten years,
and has been resident of this State about eighteen
years has been in the Confederate service more
time has been assigned important points and bri-
gades. Last winter the entire deiences of the Roa-
noke River were entrusted to him, and during the
summer he had command of the Cape Fear district,
including Wilmington, and for the last two months
has had the difficult and dangerous post of the de-
fences of the Black Water assigned him. comprising
extent of some thirty miles, his headquarters be-
ing at Franklin Va Such important commands
so constantly bestowed on Col. L. certainly ndi-
cate that he is considered competent for the duties
at least, of BrigadIer General, his present COM
mand being superior to that of almost any Briga-
der General IN the Confederate service Then why
the injustice Of so persistently deprvng him Of the
honor that is due him feel assured that his pro-
motion would meet with the appreciation of the
military very generally in our State
