This excellent officer is at present at Charlotte
with his family, it is said, for the purpose of re-
cruiting his health.
The rumor has been some time afloat that Gen.
Hill had resigned his commission in the Confsder
ate army. Is it so or noti If North. Carolina had
raised ten regiments of reserve troops more than
twelve months ago, as we urged, and as she ought
to have done and thereby saved our Eastern Counties
from ruin, Gen. Hill would have been the choice Of
the State to command them. Such an arrangement
would have saved Newhern, confined the enemy to
his gunbosts, and enabled our people in all those
Counties, now pillaged and devastated, to have re-
moved tn. ir ncgroca at least to safer position
This measure, which would have saved sIOO Ooo 900
to North Carolina, and prevented vast amour, CT
suffering By the people. has been defeated both in
the Convention and the Legislature by representa-
tivcs from those very Counties thus ravaged, aided
by those who would rather sacrifice the State than
their party afinities and those who were alarm.

Confederate government Time and circumstances

to provide properly for our Eastern Counties.
