The Situation.

AT no period since the war began, have the pros
poets of the Southern Confederacy been so bright
as at present. A few months ago the West and
Southwest were, to all appearances under the iron
heel of the Lincoln despotism. Kentucky, Tennes
see, Missouri and Arkansas were nearly overrun by
the Yankees, and Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama were seriouslN threatened. The coasts of
Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina were
rayaged, and inland advances daily expected Most
of Virginia in the hands of the enemy, ard our
capital according to the calculations OF the enemy,
was soon to fall into his hands.
How changed the prospect Although the ene-
my is in possession of the Mississippi, our brave
people in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri
are rallying to the rescue, and forcing the enemy
into smaller compass and gradually expelling him
from those States. With competent leader, and
arms and ammunition, this would be done entire,
perhaps, sixty days. Our guerrilla force in Mis-
souri, is becoming terror to all who oppose them.
In Kentucky and Missouri the cause of Lincoln
ism is evidently on the decline. The real issue Of
this war is becoming more apparent to them, to be
the determination of slavery. Could strong Con-
ederate force be marched into those States at once
there are thousands, no doubt, who would rush to
standard, who have hitherto stood aloof The in
dications that the enemy will be driven out of
Mississippi Alabama Tennessee and Kentucky in
few weeks. The coasts of Georgia. South and
NorthCarona are in possession of small forces who
continue to commit depredations upon unarmed
citizens steal their negroes and other property and
who should be driven out or captured.
Richmond is no longer menaced, but our brave
army threatens Washington City, and may be al
ready at its gates. The North, long the INVADERS
will in turn be invaded and the enemy will be made
to feel the desolating footsteps of hostile forces
Thus it is, in a few weeks, under the favoring
hand of a benign Providence and the infusion of
greater vgor and system in the conduct of the war;
since Gen. Randolph and Gen. Lee have been in
Office, our affairs have assumed new aspect-vic-
tory has crowned our arms in every contest upon
land. Our people are becoming more fully assured
of our ultimate triumph, and are ready to make the
necessary sacrifices to accomplish it The present,
however, is the most important period of the war
to US. Much may be done in the next three months
to force the burdens of the war more directly upon
the enemy. Everything depends upon the vigor,
energy and prOmptness Of the government and our
commanders, in meeting the crisis. Additional
forces are required, which must be promptly fur
nished. Great energy, economy, integrity and
close attention needed in the commsSary, quar-
termaster, ordnance and medical departments of
the army and the utmost vigilance and courage are
wanted on the part of our officers and men, Let
US strike manfuly vigorously, and quickly into the
ranks Of the enemy, and our success is certain.

BOARD OF 0FFICERs.-We have received commu-
nication from Camp Campbell in which it is stated
that examining board of officers has been estab
lishcd at that place, and that company officers only
being examined as to their proficiency in tao
being unavoidably crowded out of this issue. 1t
seems to US that board of this Sort if necessary or
proper at ALL should examine the field as we'll as
the company officers. But there is no law for such
board. Consequently, it has no power to strike
any officers name from the rolls, or to require him
to resign, so as to make room for another. The
whole proceeding is voluntary, and outside or
above the law

The Latest News.

Rumors from the Potomac seem to be abundant
about Richmond, but we have nothing entirely re-
liable from the operations of the armies.
The impression prevails, in some quarters, that
norton of our army is in the of the enemy, and
that fight must have been forced upon him on
Saturday or Sunday last but of this we have no evil
dence.
4 heavy battle at Bristow Station near Manassas
is said to have occurred on Friday last in which it
is said Gen. Ewell after having been twice driven
from the field being reinforced, gained signal tri
umph over the enemy, taking several batteries and
5000 prisoners. This also needs confirmation.
1t is rumored also that Gen. Stuart had taken
Harper's Ferry, and holds the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad.
Gen. Stuart is said also to have captured several
trains, loaded with stores and 1000 soldiers coming
up from Alexandria to reinforce Gen. Pope without
firing gun.
The government at Richmond so far, has not au-
thorized the publication of any thing connected with
the campaign on the Potomac; we are therefore at
a loss what to believe.
There are reports of great reaction in favor of
the South in Northwestern Virginia. Many Of the
people are said to be hocking to our army. 1t is
also said that Carlisle is stumping that region
against the war and in favor Of the South.
Northern dispatches state that Gen. Buckner has
Confederate force of 25 900 at Somerset Ky, that
Gen Bragg has 1000 at Chattanooga, and Gen.
Marshall is on the Big Sandy river with $4,000.

Oath of Office.

We presume it is not generally known that the
Legislature at its last session. passed act requir
ing all Judges, Justices, and others holding office in
this State to take oath to support the Constitu
ton of the Confederate States, before proceeding
further in the discharge of their duties The law is
a very proper one, but we confess we did not know
of its existence until attention called to it
by friend few days since. We give the law, as
follows
AN ACT TO AMEND THE REVISED CODE, CHAPTER &c,
ENTITLED 0ATHS.
SECTION l. Be 1t enacted By the General Assem-
bly, of the State Of North Carolina, and it is here
By enacted by the authority Of the same, That all
Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts, and al
Justices of the Peace and all other persons holding
any office in this State who required to take an
oath of Office before proceeding to discharge the duties
of such Office shall be required before proceeding
further in discharge of the duties of the office to
take an oath to support the Constitution of the
Confederate States
Sec. 2. BE IL further enacted, That this act shall
be in force from and after its ratification.

yankees in Beaufor, Comfy.

The presence of the Yankees in Washington con-
tinues to afford facilities for the escape of large
bers of negroes from all parts of the County, and
from Pitt and Martin Counties. The Yankees are
confiscating and appropratng to their own use the
produce of the farmers of that section. A friend
informs US that recently there were about 1000
Yankee troops at Washington. Another states that
they have lately been reinforced by 500 cavalry
He also informs that Stanly has certainly given
notice to the people of Beaufort and perhaps to 9TH
er Counties that they must take the oath of ale
glance to the Lincoln government leave, of course
without their property. The object is to possess
themselves of the property of people, or compel
them to ignore their own government, which will,
of course, subject them to the draft now being en-
forced in Norfolk and Princess Ann Counties, and
throughout the Northern States. Many persons
will doubt leave, if our government affords them
no protection. Others from sheer necessity being
without means to remove may feel compelled to take
the oath. Is there no remedy for this? Will not
government exert itself to rid them of the YAM
KEGS?

defence and fall of Fort Macon This account is
highly interesting, and we sure does no more
than justice to the garrison which surr, ndered on

protracted and most gallant defence
