DEAR SIR:-I am afraid you will find me too
troublesome am on the beg again. This cold
weather has reminded me that l am sadly in need
of two blankets, which if you procure for me |
will be under many obligations. l have one blank
ct but that is not enough the few past days have
proven to me. did not sleep wink last night
and fear that shall not have time to sleep any to-
day.
No one can imagine our sufferings who has not
been with US and witnessed them. Last night one
poor fellows suferngs were great that his mind
gave way, and he is now a bowling maniac Poor
fellow, his shrieks make the heart shudder and the
soul grow sick. Ny mess would take as many
as six blankets and pay for them.
Yours, JOHN.

the fire broke out at o'clock upon Saturday night
last in warehouse on Water street. next to the
Custom House, and belonging to o. G. Parsley,
Esq. There were one hundred and fifty bales of
cotton in the building belonging to the State and
other parties besides two bales of bagging and five
barrels of machine oil, also owned by the State
The building and its contents were entirely con-
sumed. The latter were valued at $4,000 The
cause of the fire has not yet been ascertalned and
as buildings inspected after dark that night
and no signs of fire of discovered, there has been
explanation of the matter. sentinel posted at the
point where the fire originated first gave the alarm
by firing his gun. The night being rainy the
tames did not spread, although the Custom House
Stooda severe test the freproof iron shutters being
heated redhot, melting the panes of glass within.
The loss of the building is the heaviest as it cannot

Our thanks to W. R. Albright Esq, of Alamance,
for some of the best sugar cane molasses or syrup
we have tasted the present season. We learn that
the product of syrup this year has been large 1t
will aid materially in supplying the absence of other
necessaries of life. We do not see why even after
the war is over, our people should not make their
own molasses from the Chinese sugar cane.
1t is the peculiar good fortune of North Carolina
to be able to produce nearly every thing which is
produced by the other States of the former Ameri-
can Union.

We are frequently asked, by soldiers as we'll as
others what prospect there is of peace, and we are
obliged to reply that this great blessing seems
more distant than ever. There can be no doubt
that the Northern people are more determined than
at any former period to prosecute the war, and the
last ray OF hope that foreign powers will intervene
has vanished. The South languishes and tie North
seems to prosper. And if the Confederacy is to
tight the North until Maryland, Western Virginia.

War News.


The Richmond papers Of Wednesday last appear
to entertain the belief that general engagement on
the Rapidan is near at hand. 1t was thought that
Meade would attempt to cross at Germanna Ioro'
and that an engagement would occur on the oc-
casion.
We have no news from Gen. Bragg's army.
The firing at Charleston continues Some TWEEN
tv,e shells were thrown into the City on the 18th,
but failed to do any material damage The indica-
tions are that the enemy intend more extended op-
erations. They may attempt to pass the batteries
so as to reach the City.
Northern dispatches state that Burnside's resig-
nation has been accepted, and Foster is to succeed
him.

The Fayetteville 0BserUsr of October 26th quoted
the above from the Standard, and twitted US with
what it regarded as failure correctly to interpret
public opinion. If the Observer and its Destructive

the result of the recent elections they will see that
we have not erred in "gathering" and "aL-
nouncing" public opinion.
But the ObserUer of the Goth October, in its ca
