Dear ir: ! sec that the idea is current in some

admit that 1t imperative that the army should be
kept full and that every point should be well guard
ed. The places Of the twelve months men must be
filled at the expiration of their terms But is it
Just and equitable to FORCE us to remain when there
arc thousands at home enjoying all the comforts Of
life, who have borne no part Of the burden of this
war? Why should they not step INFO our places,
and let US visit once more our wives and almost or
phan children, and our fyendsy Why not give US
a little rest from the tolls and hardships of camp
and thus enable MS to recruit, and make better ar
rangements in future for our families? We do not
ask to be exempt in future. Other demands to
be made foT men, and am sure the present twelve
months men will rally to the call Of their country
almost to a man, if the proper course is pursued
Bot to attempt to free Them is an infringement Of
the rights for which they have been struggling, and
could only terminate in evil. |: would Ge well for
the government to put those men into the traces,
who talk of compelling to re enlist. They know
nothing about the hardships of the war, and hence
they talk like bloated swelled heads. Many such
characters no doubt are found among those who
were very an xous for the fight at first, but who
have been too cowardly to face the music Let
them conc and take our places, at least, until we
can visit our families for few days and then they
can retire, and We will resume our. places in the
ranks. .rg.-- e.. ...- -. e. -. "A SOLDIER.
We think We can CO. fdcnty assure our CORES
pondent that no attempt will be made to force the
twelve months men to remain In service beyond
their time No one now has the power thus to
force them; and We have no idea that the CoRfede-
rate Congress, or the Legislatures or Conventions
Of the States will grant or exercise such power
The proper steps will be taken in time to fill the
places Of the twelve months men and we have no
doubt that thousands of these brave men them
selves will return to the service, after short visit
to their homes, especially if the cause should appear

The EaTasile Fleet.

The accounts We ge5 from hatte:as axe contrad.c-
tory and unreliable. At Elizabeth City it Is said
rumor prevailed that there were from p to 81 gun
boats in tie Sound, and some Of the citizens We're
leaving the place y repo.. at Washington from
Al5eua,le Sound. states that the CHrlcw had been
down to rcconuo;tre, and had been chased back by
one OF the cncmys vessels and that on; few vessels
were visible about Hatteras. cock and bull story
is told by the Norfolk Day BOOK that the storm
submerged Hattieras, and that the Federals deter
mined to abandont, and had gone over to The main
land on RATS and surrendered to Gen. Gatlin.
The Newborn Progress of Wednesday says that
passengers by The Albemarie from 0cracoke on
Tuesday, report that Yankee VINO went ashore to
get passage to Newborn q said that vessel had
gone to pieces on the bar and 800 men out of 900
were lost and that 10 vessels had gone ashore since
their arrival at EIatteras. Further, that there were
about l4g vessels there inside and out.

P. s. Ths Nvw5yrn Progress of Thursday says,

gentleman who came from "below" on Thursday
evening says, that hc last report is that there
vessels only in the Sound, and that efforts were
making to get three-masted steamer over the
Sound. \ letter from Roanoke Island of the 10Th,
speaks of an expected attack there.
The Progress denies that martial law has been pro-
claimed at Newbern, and yet iatuates if we under,
stand it, that boys under eighteen, men over fifty
and ministers of the gospel, have been restrained
from leaving If not forced to perform military duty
