We Still LIVE, the reports brought by dessrters to
the contrary Notwithstanding. We were to be attack
ed this week. We have not yet been attacked, and
there remain but twelve hours of the week. and six of

These reports coming from the enemy, really amount
to little or nothing, and rule, produce only evil to
US, by keeping up constant nervous excitement of

apt to into the extreme of apathy and indifference
They will at length pay attention to the cry of WOLF

We beg that neither our people nor our authorities
will permit themselves to become the victims of this
feeling of indifference, false security As this war
progresses it continues another year-we believe
that the hour of trial will come to alI--certainly
to all of Us on the seaboard, Wilmington among
the first, and it will demand all the vigil
lance, all the frmness, all the preparation and
all the hardightng that each and evefy man can bring
to its defence to save from the fate of its sister towns
of the Panlico and Albemarle regions, or from what
appears most to be the still harder fate of New Or
