WHAT immediate value could troops held in camps at

How long it after the enemys vessels appeared in
the Neuse until NeWbern was attacked? Could troops
have been sent down from Raleigh in time to have par
tcipated in the fgh had the troops been then
Raleigh and the orders been Immediately issued on re-
ceipt of the news? II an attack were threatened at
Wilmington not a man from Raleigh could probably
get within eighty miles of until the thing would be
all over What earthly use can there be in keeping all
the State eves away above Goldshoro, where any at
tempt to transport them to the coast must interfere with
the transportation of General Holmes forces Can it
be that grand panandrum is to De kept up there to
swell the consequence of that of many Offices
Major General, Aduant General, Quarter Master Gen
era Commssary General and everything an general Of
the military establishment of this State? We enume-
rate these offices with thought of personal dsrespect
to General Martin but the mere enumeration itself re-
quires no comment. Why not promptly have these
troops turned to the Conederacy else have them
rendezvoused and equipped where they may do the
State some service" Outnumbered everywhere in the
field, in camp ought to be at least available
as possible This is rot the best time in the world for
fighting by proclamation. There are arms for many Of
the regiments, and the regiments are organized.
But we forgot. Failing back is the apparent order
CT the day We trust that the levies at Raleigh are not
to be moved behind the Yadkn IT, by this course the
whole coast is lost then indeed the whole affair will not

when delivered here, it will be sold at $3.50 per
bushel. The fear is that it may be delayed in
coming. We hope, when it does come, some just
rule will be established for the disposition of it so
that all who need it most will get some Of it

Our Needy Soldiers.


From all quarters the cry comes up from our
troops, 1--WE are in great need of shoes, clothes,
blankets" &c. No call has ever been made upon
the country more meritorious or more pressing
The call must be needed at any cost. The rich
must give of their abundance, and the poor of their
little to relieve the wants of brave, suffering
soldiers in the army, who literally take their lives
in their hands, to defend our rights, our property,
our lives and our sacred honor.
We rejoice at the indications manifested among
our people to help in this crisis Some are willing
to give carpeting for bankets-to stint their fami
lies for leather and other things, that soldiers
may be supplied The necessity of the case and
the eloquent appeal of Gov. Vance, we hope will
call forth the generosity and philanthropy of the peo
pie. Will these calls reach the spectators, who
have brought the army and the country to their
present condition2 Will the spectators give a
tenth, fifth of their income to relieve the soldiers
and their families? We fear not.
An officer of the 54th N. G. Regiment writes. Us
thus:
The 54th n. G. Regiment in camp six miles of
Richmond, is greatly in need of Shoes blankets and
socks, Many of our men destitute of either,
and unless they are supplied soon, must suffer-
The soldiers all thank you for your labor in their
behalf, and delight to read your paper They look
upon it as their friend"
