The Newburn Progress Of the 18th, says
of the late election in North Carolina,
that sthe final result indicates the defeat
of johnson, the secession candidate for
Governor, by the unparalleled majority
of4O, 600. The glad tidings come to hand
Just as we go to press of the complete
overthrow of secession in every depart
ment of this state The Union opposition
party have elected nearly every member
in both branches of the Legislature, by
still greater maiorities. Every candidate
who advocated continuation of the war,
and separation from the Union has been
defeated in every instance. 1t has been
a fair aud equal issue, strictly of a politi-
cal nature, with no side or local issue of
any kind. Governor Stauly regards this
vote as an emphatic decision in favor Of
the Union.
Inhis speech, in Washington Col. corco-
ran said:-
have come from North Carolina, and
/ can say Of her, she has her 5000 troops
in the field. One half of those men, if
they were free to speak. would speak in
favor of returning to the Union. But l
will also say that their state pride, their
blind love, perhaps, for state institutions,
will cause them to fight well in the ranks
until we can give them assurances that
we can send into the interior of every
state, a sufficient number of troops for the
Union people to rally around.

We walked over yesterday afternoon to
visit the Camps on the Island, in the Fair
Ground. AS yet, there is not much system
prevailing. The men are all new to the
place and the mode of life. Their tents are
pitched by companies in various places,
mostly towards the upper end of the
grounds. No uniforms have yet been dis
tributed, aud but very few guns were visi-
BILE. The grounds need cleaning aud clear
ing up, and matters generally need over
hauliug and systematizing. We observed
amoug several of the companies that there
was lack OF tents. Ia several instances
upwards of one hundred men have been
assigned to fve tents, which is wrong.
SIen cannot live in packed condition,
like so many ssrdtnes in box. They
need more room.
Another cause of complaint was that :he
men are compelled to pack loads of wood
on their shoulders, and in their arms clear
from the lower end of the encampuent to
the upper end. This is also wrong. The
wood should be hauled and put down
along side of each company. Another
drawba is the distance from water. We
observed the men going ont OF the grounds
with poles on their shoulders aud kettles
strung upon them in hunt of water. They
went considerable way over the Island,
and after getting it carried it in the awk-
ward way described buck to their tents
Thisis hardship for which there is no me-
cessity. There is an excellent well in the
centre of the grounds, and all it needs is
cleaning out, sinking little perhaps, and
proper facilities for pumping. IL should
be attended to at once, and we hope it will
receive attention to-day.
The Governor went over late last even
ing and looked into these matters. He
gave orders that an additional tent should
be assigned to each company aud more il
found necessary. He also ordered that
hereafter all wood hauled should be dis
tributed to the companies, close within
reach, and also that the complaints about
water should be at once looked after. he
inquired into the number aud condition
and wants of each company battle-ground,
aud made such notes of their statements
as will, we think, insure speedy system
and comfort.
There are now sixteen companies in camp
and the men have commenced drilling. All
the companies have not yet been sworn in.
In consequence OfrejectiOns several of the
tun companies have fallen below their max
limum number, but the complement will be
speedily made up. The men who have
passed inspection are foe specimen Of
health aud strength, and will make The
very best soldiers yet known to the war
There seems 10 be commendnble DISPOSE
ton among them to get to work ct their
duties, and be put in regular military shape
and trim. All this of course will take SOME
little time, aud we trust the soldiers will
make due allowance aud be patient. IL
the meantime everything possible will be
done for their comfort All that is neGes.
sary is for them, by their proper represeu-
tatives, to let the authorities know of any
shortcomings.

The bounties offered to volunteers,
liberal everywhere, and enormous in some
districts, and the liberal pay and generous
treatment of our enlisted men, cannot
fail to attract to our shores a martial
immigration. With all the hardships and
dangers of soldiers life. it has a strange
Fascination for those who have become
accustomed to it, and the old campaigner,
returned to a life of ease and quiet, signs
for the excitement of the field, as the old
war horse paws the ground when he hears
the sound of the bugle. We hear of
British soldiers whose term of enlistment
has expired offering in our service; and
the same attraction must bring to US men
Injured to hardship and fatigue in the wars

1t is most significant fac. that U. s.
treasury notes are at a premium in the
rebel capital. 1t would seem from this
that whatever confidence the people may
have il their military strength, they have
but little in that upon which all military
strength dependable credit of the gov
eminent. Wejudge that our green backs
are getting very good circulation in the
Southern States; and in supplying them
with currency, We are keeping out quite
a loan without interest, aud We are afford
them all the time practical ILLUSTRATION of

A RABBIT i'm n BaItle-Am Incl.
dent of Malvern Hills.

A full grown rabbit had hid itself away in
the copse ola fence which separated two
fields near the center, on the most exposed
portion of the battle ground. Rabbits are
wont to spend the day almost motionless,
and in seeming dreamy meditation. This
one could have had but little thought-if
rabbits think-when choosing its place Of
retreat at early dawn, that ere it was even
tide there would be such an unwouted and
ruthless disturbance. During all the pre-
parations made round the lair throughout
the forenoon, it nevertheless remained quiet
Early, however, in the afternoon, when the
rage of battle had fairly begun, and shot and
shell were falling thick and fast in all direc.
tions. a shell chanced to burst so near Mr..
Rabbits hiding place, that he evidently con-
sidered it unsafe to tarry longer. So, fright
ened almost to death, out he sprang into the
open field, and ran hither aud thither, with
the vain hope of finding safe retreat
Whichever way it ran, cannons were thun.
dering out their smoke and fire, regiments
of men were advancing and changing posi-
ton, horses were galloping here and there,
shells bursting and solid shot tearing up the
ground. Sometimes it would squat down
and lie perfectly still, when some new and
sudden danger would again start it into me-
ticn. Once more it would stop and raise it.
