The general direction of the Nansemond river is
Northeast and Southwest At Suffolk the stream
is very sinuous. General Longstreet's position is
curvilinear in form, and on the south and west of
the town. His right, under Gen. Pickett, extends
eastwafdly to the dismal swamp, on which it rests
His Left under Gen. Hood, extends west and north
west 10 the Nansemond. The distance of Long
streets lines from the works of the enernyis about
two miles, The picket line, of course, is much
nearer.
No attempt has been made by US to penetrate the
dismal swamp nor to cross the Nansemond in order
to get into tie rear of Suffolk Gen. Hood, on the
left, has had all the fighting with the guuboats, and
thSlatter have kept up anoisy cannonade. Pickett,
on the right, has twice driven the enemy into his
trenches in heavy skirmshes.
The object of Gen. Longstreet seems to be served
in holding the enemy. closely in his trenches. Our
commisssIies and qnarternasters thus secured from
interruption have been able to render an immense
service to the cause. 1t is not probable that Long
street will storm the enemys works. If the enemy
comes out there will be fight.
The capture of Strbling's battery is charged upon
Gen. French's defective arrangements and great
deal of feeling exists against him in consequence
We take it for granted there will be court of in
quiry to investigate the matter.
The above statement is from a source we'll in
formed and reliable. We publish it as giving a
succnct view, likely to interest our readers.-Rich

As State'Printer, we have completed the public
laws with the index and shall complete the journals
during the present week. The public laws of the
regular and adjourned sessions make 136pages, and
the journals of the two Houses for the two sessions
will make about 900 pages. The private laws are
still to be printed, with go ordinances of the Con-
Tention which the Legislature directed to be print
ed with the public and private laws. These will
swell the volume to at least 400 pages and it may
reach $50 or 500 We shall execute this remaining
work as rapidly as possible, but we have been re-
tarded by the difficulty Of procuring hands, and the
sickness of some engaged. on the public work.
There are more printers in the army than, perhaps,
any other vocation in proportion to their numbers
and our cotemporaries of the press will bear witness
that 1t is no easy matter to procure suitable hands.
Meanwhile, as it is important that the various
Counties should have copy of the public laws at
the earliest practicable moment, and as We have
completed them, we have been directed by the Gov
ernor and Secretary of State to send copy by mail
to each of the County Court Clerks. This we will
do at once. The County officers, members of the
bar, and others, will in this way have access to the
laws at as early period as practicable after they
have been printed, during the Spring Courts now
being held. The public and private laws in one
volume, the journals Of the two Houses, and the
public documents for members of the Legislature,
will be sent out soon as they are ready, which
will be some time during the month of Mpy, or
about the 1st OF June

Funding Confederate Notes.

In late issue We said: 1--WE advise the people
to fund at.seEen per cent, as these notes may de-
Preciate in value. The State of Virginia has vir-
tually repudlated former issues by providing that
only the issues after the first of this month shall be
received for taxes in that State" We consider this
good advice in relation to Confederate notes. but the
Register replies and says:
"The above is as silly as it is unpatriotic The
object of the Virginia law to induce holders of
Treasury notes issued prior to the 1st of December
1862 to fund in Confederate bonds and thus assist
the Confederate government in diminishing the
volume Of currency The law said in substance to
the Virginia taxpayer, go forward and fund your
Treasury notes. for if you keep them they will not
be received in payment of taxes"
These notes, on their face pledge the faith of the
government to fund them in eight per cents. But
the government allows them to be funded in eights
up to a certain time, and then says they shall be
funded only in Sevens and the Virginia Legislature
declares that they shall not be received at all in paw
ment of taxes. The Register not only admits, but
claims all we have said to oe true. We have moth
ing to do with the object of Virginia in this bust.
ness; it is enough to know that she has repuiated
portion Of the Confederate currency. The Reg
iSter is as much, or more Virginia than North
Carolina paper. Of course, therefore, that paper
defends Virginia even when she repudiates; but if
our Legislature had done so, the Register would
have denounced the act as Infamous.
Does the Register fear that these notes will de-
preciate before the Banks can work them off ? 1t
knows the loss will fall somewhere, and it wants
the loss to fall on the people
The fact that the Register characterizes what we
say as "silly and unpatriotic," furnishes the best
evidence that we are writing sense and doing our
duty. Commendation or concurrence from such
source would be like deadly poison We shall al
ways feel sure that We right when the Register
disapproves what we say.

STAND BY THE FLAG!-We have appealed here
toore to our brave soldiers to be true to their coors
under all circumstances, and not to desert for any
cause Ifone can remain in the service. and under
60 its necessary privations, all 1t is exceed
ingly important just now, that the ranks of our
regiments in this State should be full. The enemy,
foiled at Charleston, making efforts to penetrate
the interior of our State His eye is on the Rail-
road at Wilmington or Goldsborough. He must be
driven back, and held where he is Let every
soldier who is absent from his post, return and re-
turn at once There is no safety for any one except
in the path Of duty. Wcknow that the priVations
of the soldier are great but those who are in for
the war should remember that the hope of the
try is centred in the army and that these prvatons
if patiently and cheerfuy endured, will shed addi-
tonal honor on those who shall submit to them to
the end. We cannot tell whether the end is near
or remote-no tell but the true soldier feels
that duty must be performed, and that peace can
not be secured by absence f1om the ranks. Stand
by the flag, boys! Never soil your coed names by

A Merited Compliment.

The Richmond Examiner publishes the official
statement, which appeared in our columns some
time ago, showing the number of troops which
NorthCarolna has furnished, and the manner in
which they are brigaded The editor, in conclusion,
pays the following h'ndsoms tribute to the unset
fish patriotism of our people and the gallantry of
our soldiers:
" Here is proof of what the noble old North State
has done in this ran Well and literally has she
contributed both men and money, to the cause, and
whatever her easmes may say of her, the record of
this war viii show that in spirit and chiValry, and
