The Position at Suffolk.

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
eastwardy to the dismal swamp, on which it rests
His left under Gen. Hood, extends west and north.
west to the Nansemond. The distance of Long.
streets lines from the works Of tho enemy is about
two miles. The picket line, Of course, is much
'nesrer.
'No-attempt has been made by US to penetrate the
dismal swamp nor to cross the Nansemond, in order
to get into the rear of Suffolk. Gen. Hood on the
left has had all the fighting with the gunboats and
the latter have kept up noisy canuonade. Pickett
on the right, has twice driven the enemy into his
trenches in heavy skirmishes.
The object of Gen: Longstreet seems to be served
in holding the enemy closely in his trenches. Our
commssaries and quartermasters, 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 Striblings battery is charged upon
Gen. French's defective arrangements, and a great
deal Of feeling exists against him in consequence.-
We take it for granted there will be c6nrt of in.
quiry to investigate the matter.
The above statement is from source well in.
formed and reliable. We publish it as giving q
succinct view, likely to interest our readers-Rieh

Finding Confederate Notes.

In late issue We said "We advise the people
to fund at seven per cent, as these notes may de-
preciate in value. The State of Virginia has vr-
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 asst is unpatriotic. The
object of the Virginia law to induce holders of
Treasury notes issued prior to the 1st of December
1852, 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 thssm runded IN sighss
UP to q 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 pay
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 repudiated
portion of the Confederate currency. The Reg.
lister is as much, or, more Virginia than North.
Carolina paper. OF course, therefore, that paper
defends Virginia even when she repudiates; but il
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 Il
knows the loss will fall somewhere, and it wants
the loss to fall on the people, y.
The fact that the Register charaeterizes what W
say as "silly and unpatriotic." furnishes the bes
evidence that we are writing sense and doing GU,
duty. Commendation or concurrence from such
source would be like deadly poison. We shall al
WAYS feel sure that we right when the Regists
disapproves what we say.
