CAMP NEAR GOLDsBORO', n. c., May Goth, 1862.
Mr.. EDITOR II me to occupy a small space in
your columns for the purpose of Informing the good
citizens of Randolph county, OF the whereabouts OF
our company, the Randolph Rangers. We arrived at
Camp Mangum on the Both of March and took pos
session of "a portion of the camp Of instruction there.
We had not been in camp many days before we join.
cd a Regiment and elected field officers. Very soon
after We were formed into a Regiment we moved over
near the Rail Road preparatory to leaving Camp Man
gum for GOldsborO'. We left Camp MangUm on the
9th Of May and arrived at the Camp near Goldsboro'
the same day. We had a very pleasant ride and were
greatly refreshed on stopping at a Station the name
of which | do not recUllecU where a number Of nice
ladies were congrcgatcd aud presented a great many
of us beautiful bouquets of tasty selection. Our Reg
iment is armed with the best Of Enfield Rifles. We
are in fine spirits and anxious to meet our vandal in
vaders. Rest assured that the 10th will make its mark
the very first opportunity.
No such thing as Responding under our political al
fictions is thought OF i'll our camp. The reverses o
our arms and the fall of some Of our largest Cite
only make Us more and more determined to fight tC
the death for our loved aud once happy land.
We expect to leave this camp soon; but where we
will 90 to l shall not pretend to say.
If the conscripts in Randolph desire to get into
Regiment, let them come to the 46tn; if they would
like to join an excellent company, let them join the
Randolph Rangers. L. A. j. f.

.RAPIDAN STATION, VA, May, 1852.
E1itor Spirit Of the Age: While I am re-
Ginning on my sick pallet, [ will drop you a
few lines, to inform yon where the noble 2Sth
has been placed since it was moved from the
good old North State.
We are in tie most beautiful region Of old
Virginia, on the Rapidan river, near the
Blue Ridge on the Va. Central Rail Road
| think this is the healthiest situa ton we
have had. Hers we are surrounded with de-
lightful springs, atfording water not surpass-
ed by any land, which is so refreshing to a
jaded soldier. He can look westward from
our brush and cedar pavilions and there be
hold the most superb scenery that the eye
can desire the ridge visible as far north
and south as the eye can see, forming as il
were one continual cloud. Between us and
the ridge, a space Of a Few miles, are numer
Gus hills and v%allies, all beautifully covered
with forests and fields Of clover and grain
But all this does not satisfy the inner man.
We want something to read when at leisure
and as there is nothing better (save the Bi
ble) than the Spirit Of the Age, the subscri
bers Of the 28th Reg. desire their paper Sent
to this place. Please change them from Kin
ston, n. c., to Rapidan Station, Va.

TIT VERY LATEST REVISE

The latest Richmond papers bring Us the MEL
gence that Gen. Banks had made his way 10 ffeuel-
icksbure and formed ajunction with his army there
with that Of Gen. Mcdowell. Gen. McClelLand lag
advanced 10 the Chickahominy river and was enSa8to
i'll rebuilding the bridges destroyed by Gen. Johnston
in his retreat. preparatory to nearer advance GPo1
the city. One of tie enemy gun1oats had aSceluto
the river TO a point about eighteen miles below the
city. and landed about 200 troops while the boats
shelled the neighborfng woods. 1t Is believed TO nave
been q mere marauding expedition. On our side,
oen. Johnston has taken up his headquarters IN h'ich-
mond, while his army is cncanped between the
Ghickahoniny and the city, ready 70 give the eneIsy

The UNIvERslTY.-We learn that an idea
has got abroad, that the University o Nortt.
Carolina viii be closed and the President
has received letters inqui.iog if this IS .ikel,
to happen. He gives the story an emphatic
negative, as We are CAD to hear. The a4thori-
ties, Trustees and Faculty are determined not
to follow the evil example of evacuat.nr.-
Ihey will keep their doors open whilst a
single student is DESTROYS to enter them
And long may those doors be open, and soon
again may they be thronged with the hun-
dreds who have oflatc years been accustomed
to resort therc.
By The way, the catalogue for the present
Session hes just been issued, from which it
appears that the whole number Of Students
during the year has been 1919. viz: Seniors.
Is, Juniors, %, Sophomore 35, F~reshue..

Alabama, Florida, and New Mexico, and l
from Missouri.

NEGRO INyADERs,-The people Of the South
nave been unwilling, from the first, to admit
the startling fact that the Yankee Govern
ment ever contemplated the invasion Of her
borders By the armed colored population Of
tD9 slave States, in the prosecution Of her
plans of~suhjugation. This fact Illuminating
as it may be to humanity, and shocking to
civilization, has at last been demonstrated
blythe organization, il, Washington, D. c., Of
two regi .nents, and in Chaclestown, Va, of
one or'more companies, who are drilled daily
after shutdown, and instructed in the manual
of shooting down their owners. This IS the
secret Of the running off Of the male Saves of
the Valley. Il Is 4 pity that Vi-ginia's
eyes have been closed 50 long to the real dc-
signs of the Lincoln Government. They are
now opened. BLINDNESS is no longer an ex-
cusc for suicide.-DjSpatch.

NARROW EscAPE.-The Lynchburg Viz
ginisn says that a member Of the Greenbrier
Cavalry, who arrived there last Saturday
night. states that his company were com
pletely surrounded at Lewisburg by two
regiments of Federal infantry, and three
hundred and fifty cavalry. Orr cavalry made
good their escape with the exception of two
oftheir men, who were taken prisoners, and
afterwards killed by their captors with the
pistols from their own belts.
One of these men, SO brutalIy murdered,
was, we understand, a prominent lawyer of
Lewisburg, bot we were unable to learn his
name. ! few days since, eighteen of the
Yankees we're surrounded in q house by this
company, and refused to surrender, where,
upon the whole party were Killed The Van
KEGS. upon hearing this, swore that they
would kill every member OF this company
captured.

ANOTHER REBELLION IN YANKEELAND.-
The Yankees are troubled with another re-
bellion,' and their military forces nave been
summoned to put it down. 1t is a new and
other rebellion than that in the South, and
is, by way Of distinction, called The Coal
Miners Rebellion 1t was precipitated by
an outbreak among the coal miners Q: the
SchuylkiIl region in Pennsylvania, and *
only the beginning of the many rebellions'
that must soon take place among the poor
and labouring classes of the North from the
effects of the war Poverty and restitution
are sorely p~inching the artizans and labourers
of the North, and what we read here from the
New York Herald is but a picture Of the
hundred strikes and riots that this war
must tring about between the poor and rich
OF the North.

. friends to enter our lines? Others,
Ike 6 en-. Stone, when one ofthese men
happenad to get within the lines, would
allow the man called his master, tho a
rebel against our flag, to ride into our
camp, and there, under the Stars and
STRIPES. to which this patriot had fled
for protection, to tie rope around his
neck and trot off, dragging him back
to bondage. As soon as this wretched
victim of this insane policy was again
within the intrenchments OF Manassas
he was scourged, as an example to otn
ers to beware how they carried lhteiii,
gence to the Stars and Stripes. ana
then. with his back lacerated win 1he
lash from neck to heels, he was driven
into the trenches to throw up ramparts

thew were to be mown down before the
artillery of the foe.
We wonder not that a french VIII
ter has remarked that "such mode OF
conducting war excites the contempt
Of every military man in Europe. -
And we wonder not that God should
trown upon such outrages. There was
no necessity of any general act ofeman-
cipation; simply the cordial welcome 10
our lines of every man ready to ald IN
the defense of our imperilled country
would have given us that information

4 Rusaiam Winter Pietmre.

The streets of the town are wonderfully
cay and picturesque. Sledges with
the famous Russian trotters move
gaily about over the clean white snow,
the swift horses jingling their merry
bells and tossing their handsome heads
in their gay silver harness.
Fair fur clad ladies talking pleasantly,
and making quite holiday time of it,
90 iaunting about in delightfully."- high
spirits. The awful winter is to them a
mere change of pleasures; they take
their brisk recreation Of sledging by
day, and muster at brilliant balls and
assemblies at night. Nothing can
quench their thirst for excitement and
society; but the theaters are closed by
police, lest the coachman waiting for
the playgoers should be frozen on his
box. The tariff ceased for public cars
riages, and droschky drivers hardy
enough to brave the weather may the
charge their own fares. Gentlemen
walk about with pelisses of the black
fox, costing as much as $500 apiece,
because this fur is the warmest and
| lightest-for even fashion has reason
in it's caprices Persons less wealthy,
or less luxurious, wrap themselves in
the skins of the raccoon or the
skunk, the bear or the beaver. La
dies go clothed in sables, the finest
of which should be dark hair tinged
with gray The yellow fox gives a good
| light warm fur, but it is prescribed on
account of its cheapness. Our houses
are, in the south, not so we'll built for
this weather as those in St. Peters
burg and the north. Not only do our
windows freeze, but the frost and snow
force their way inside the rooms, and
lie inches deep of morning under the
balcony doors and between the double
windows. But by means of overs be-
tween the walls, which we call stoves
we can contrive to keep our rooms
facing the south at about IA degrees
of heat Reaumur. An iron stove, when
it burns well, which is not often, will
bring even northerly room up to Is
degrees; but this is too warm. It res
quires some management to get COM
Portable tempature which is about IS
degrees Reaumur. An English fires
place, aAowever large and well-ted will
by no means make head against the
difficulty.

y SUGGESTION FOR THE SOLDIERS. -
The captain of the barge in an Oxford
boat race just as they are starting,
gives each rover little slice of lemon
to hold in his mouth. He knows the
philosophy; anything in the mouth that
promotes the flow of saliva and keeps
the throat moist answers as well or
better than drink, hnich often,in guam
titles, weakens the stomach A ply
stefan who understood these things
used in his long drives to take Glove
into his mouth, instead of drinking
frequently as his inclination woul d
have led him to do. The advantage
of cloves is that they contain much in
little space, and do not lose their
strength. For soldiers they would be
peculiarly useful since they are aro-
NAUTICAL, stimulating and astringent,
which last quality would tend to coun>
teract that tendency to irritation OF the
bowels which IS thebane of the sol
dier'slife. Half dozen aday are enoug;
one Glove may remain in the mouth
four hours.

O, come ye saints and hover near,
With your wings to sooth at evening shade,
And dry from my cheek the bitter tear,
