Len0ir and OnsloW.

An army correspondent of the Charlotte Bulletin,
who writes from Camp Destitute" near Kinston,
says:
3" The county Of Lenoir is well known to your
readers as to the poverty Of its soil and the eharac
ter of its Inhabitants. The county of Onslow is
equally as poor, and is known only for its gouber or
or ground pea productyeness. The inhabitants are
very penurious and of course their interest is gov
erned in that way. They are on the side which
will pay the best This is as general thing ;-of
course there are some honorable exceptions"
The Bulletins correspondents mistaken. not on
" as to the SOIL but as to the character Of the in
habi'ants Of the Counties referred to. Lenoir and
Onslow are famous corn and porkraising Coun.
ties. Much of the soil is equal to any in the State
for and cotton The inhabitants, it is true arc
now poor, for they have been stripped of nearly
everything by the federal and Confederate armies
but they are not more penurious than others, nor
is it true that they are "on the side which will
pay best" Hundreds of them have lost their all,
and are now refugees and wanderers. We wish We
could say that they have met with no very penu-
rious" inhabitants in the interior of the State.
: If our earnest advice in this paper had been fol-
lowed, and if our vote in the Convention could have
avsiled, the Eastern Counties would have been pro-
tected, and Lenor and Onslow would have been
contributing at this time their large supplies of corn
provender and bacon for the sustenance Of our
armies and people :.

Mr. HoLDEN:-Our thanks are due to you, as
Well as to the Messrs. Hale of the Obsercer, for
keeping up with US in our numerous changes Of
LOCATION. Our papers arrive with considerable reg
ularity. The boys say that Clngman's brigade has
to defend our coast from the north eastern part Of
the Yankees hear that we are on the way to meet
point This has certainly happened in several In
stances. Generally, these changes and moves
are objectionable, but now an order TO leave, no
matter where we went would be hailed with pl AS
ure. Nv own love for South Carolina, you l,aay
be aware, was never very great, and since our So
iourn within her borders nothing has occurred to
chance my feengs Selfish, proud, exclusive. pro-
scriptiEe always, now she seems donbly so. North
Caiolina soldiers are treated here if s was con-
descension on the part of her chivalry> 10 allow
them to come amongst her own sons of high de-
gree.to eat her poor beef, drink her "tadp pole
water" and be insuted and cheated BY her specu-
latine Jews hucksters and niggers." Your cor
RESPONDENT from the 6lst handles them m pst prop
ery. and hope he will not allow his trenchaht pen
to remain idle Let them be shown up, and our
people at home know what estimate is placed upon
our glorious old State, down here in this Palmetto
kingdom. There are men Of high toned patriotism
and liberal and generous spirit here-such, for in
stance as Col Yeadon of the Courier whose Oh, ,er
full honest face and buoyant step is often met on
the streets he hurries some mission of benev-
oence or public Importance; but their influence is
oyershadowed by the contracted sectional, super
clious spirit which has ever characterized the ma
iority of the Palmettoites. = --------t. =

Mr.. EDITOR IL begin to think with you that
the fate of the Soathern Contederacy is trembling
IL the scales. And hesitate not to say if we fail
in securing our independence the failure will have
to be attributed to Legislatures and not to the
want of valor patience endurance on the part Of
the people. The idea Of funding hundreds Of mil
lioIs to commence bearing 7 and per cent inter
est Immediately, and leyying and collecting an enor
nous tax both in the States and Confederacy, to
meet this usurious interest," and to absorb the re-
dundancy in the currency is not only falacious
but wicked in the extreme And predict that fu-
ture events will prove the accuracy of this state
ment There aro thousands of our people WHO
never made less than they have in the last two
years, while there are thousands of others now
living from hand to mouth, and who would rejoice
to know that they could or would procure bread
and water for themselves and little ones for the next
twelve montlGs-ineat now being out of the ques
ton. And these persons have contributed in pro-
portion to their means, more perhaps thar any 9TH
ers to carry on the present bloody war. And now,
after all their patriotism and sufferings, they will
shaye to pay such taxes as they nor none of their
predecessors have ever had to pay BEFORE and after
the last cent has been wrung from nulrtudes of
them what will be the result? Will the revenue
thus collected do more than pay the salaries Of all
the officers Of fBnfederacy, and the per cent
interest on the $500 00o 600 worth of bonds that it
is said will soon be funded? 1t does seem to me
that a more suicidal policy could not have been
pursued, than 70 make our public debt an interest
bearing as6t innsdiately especially at The high
rate Of insestss Congress A@ all6.sd fhis pro-
gramme may suit the wealthy capitalists and spec:
ulators Of the land but to all those who have all the
time been contributing of their substance to carry
on the war, and have periodically refrained from
engaging in specializing. they cannot and think
ought not to be required to give up all they possess
for the esoecia. 1sneft Of few of the more promi
nent but certainly not pathetic and deserving
of their fellow.c.izens. What could have induced
Congress to proceed in the way they have, l am
at loss to determine. Human nature can not en-
dure much greater burthens than they seem dis
posed to lay upon their constituents.

VIcKsRURG.-The Richmond correspondent Of the
Charleston Mercury says: ut is useless to disguise
the state of things about Vicksburg The Yazoo
was filled with fine Mississippi steamers, twenty six
of which the Yankees claim to have captured, and
of these eighteen were burned. We also had the
mate Of the Arkansas and othergrnbosts incomplete
in the Yazoo. Mr.. Mallory was warned last fall Of
all these facts and told about the dangers Of Yazoo
Pass. The pass was neglected, and Fort Pemberton,
another Fort Henry, built If the Yankees pass
that, they 60 easily within twelve miles of Vicks-
burg to another and stronger fort which they can
attack above and below. That carried, Vhksburg
is lost. The place may not have been evacuated,
though most OF the troops have concentrated else.

from Vieksburg."
