News from North Carolina,
NEW YORK, March 18.


Bs AAIt FROM FoRrREss MONROE, March I6.
The steamer Rebecca Clyde, with
three hundred and fifty prisoners, cap
tured near Kinston, North Carolina.
during the late battles, arrived here
this morning from Newbern, North
Carolina.
The latest advices from Gen
Schofield represented him as still ad :
vancing towards Kinston and there
were rumors in Newbern when the
Rebecca Clyde sail, ON the 18th, to
the effect that Bragg had evacuated
the town, and that our forces had ia.
ken possession of the place,
The prisoners who came up on the
Rebecca Clyde were a fine looking
set of men, and belonged to Mai Gen
Hoke's division, having been sent
from Lees army only week since,
with the view of operating against
our forces in North Carolina.
All the available pontoon trains at
Newbern had been sent to General
Sehodeld,aAd even if Gen. Bragg had
not evacuated Kinston no doubt was
entertained but that our forces could
easily cross the Neuse river and give
battle to the enemy before he could
get away.
Maj. Gen. Couch's forces, from
Wilmington, had reached Gen Scho-
field, and his army thus re-enforced
was deemed amply sufficient to defeat
Bragg's army, which was judged to-
be about $4,000 strong.

NEwBERN, N. G, March 6.-Yester-

Confederate cavalry, which was raised in
the western part of the State, came into

tenants, their horses and equipments.
numbering over sixty men, and delivered
themselves up to our commanding officer
at Camp Palmer After partaking of a
bountiful feast at Camp Palmer. they.
with the old flag at the head of their col
umn, entered the city, the hospitality of
which they .are now enjoying. When
they were informed that they would re-
ceive pay for their horses and arms. and
be furnished employment, or allowed to 90
North, they remarked that if it was gen.
orally known in the South that such re-
ception awaited the Confederate soldiers
in our lines, that the entire army of the
Confederacy would follow their example.
The arrival of the remainder of the reg
inent into our lines is daily looked for

evening, about six o'clock, John Eslay,
returned soldier of the 18th Connecticut
volunteers, was killed by John Donnelly,

The HONEST MAN-Most men are
not so dead to moral principles but what
they feel spontaneous glow of admira-
ton for the man who does right because
it is right, no matter if he does make less
money by it, Some few men say he was
fool or lunatic not to make the most Of
his advantage right or wrong; but the
heart of many is loyal to rectitudo We
look and admire, and praise We cannot
help it. lie who in a selfish, covetous
age, when all men are fighting and scramb-
ling for money, stands up strong in his
integrity, and modestly does the thing
not that is legal, not that is expected, not
that is customary, that is as others do, or
as many preach, but does the thing which
is right--such man is worthy of all i'm
itation If the heavenly minded are few
in the world, are noS the righteous few
likewise? A moral character that is gen.
uine is seen as rarely as Diogenes' man,
when hunted for with lantern at noon
day.

THE LAW IN REGARD TO CREDITS
The announcement Of the passage of
law by Congress conGning credits for en-
listments to the ward in which the person
enlisting may reside, has fallen like
thunder-cIap on the ears of the unpro-
pared; and clogated faces, and counte-
nances "sicklied DER with che pale cast
of thought" arc the marked result.
While we do not recognize the wisdom or
justice of such law, going into effect at
this late hour, yet, being law of Con-
gress, there is no other alternative but to
abide by it. Many districts, however,
have bean so depicted by their residents
being credited to other localities, that
the burden will fall heavily upon them
For time, perhaps, some of our wards
will give up all efforts to fill their quotas;
but then will come reaction, and We
doubt not, within few days of the turn
ing of the wheel, the activity in recruit
ing will be almost unparalleled. Mar
ried men, who have hitherto been kept
back from volunteering by family ties,
will break the silken chord that stays
them. take whatever bounty their ward
is offering, and don the "regimentals. /"
Young men, in the extremity of their
peril from the revolutions of the wheel.
disdaining further parley with an iney-
orable fate, will go forth.
Bearing their birthrights proudly on
their backs, and make "a hazard of new
fortunes" in service peculiarly honora-
bic and in certain sense lucrative and
healthy.

which our men in rebel prisons are

OBEIsANCE TO THE PUBLIC.
TRI. WEEKLY GAZETTE AND COMET

Time was when this old and well-known
journal catered daily for tho edifcation
and entertainment of its hosts of readers
and patrons But, times change and
things change with them. The advent of
War, followed, alas by so many sad and
startling changes in the condition and
pursuits of the Southern people, rendered
1t necessary to drop the daily publication
and assume instead q simple weekly issue.
Tho War terminating, and the dawn Of a
more quiet and prosperous future appear
ing, afford now encouraging earnest Of o
gradual though sure return to the arts and
pursuits Of peace, on the part of our people.
EN- mbracing the occssion, therefore, to
fall in and keep pace with the steady pro-
gress towards brighter condition in the
affairs of onr common country, the ander-
signed have formed mutual association
for the purpose Of carrying on the news
paper, Job printing and bindery business
OF the Gasette and COnast sGgce.
Dating from to-day, tho Gasettc and
Conset emerges from weekly to tri-
weekly Journal. To meet the enlarged
expenses consequent upon this alteration,
we confidently rely upon generous in
crease of patronage. This we shall strive
to merit by the labor and attention which
we intend devoting to the several depart
nents Of business VIC have undertaken
mutually to conduct, comprising as above
stated, the newspaper and job offices and
bindery.
AS soon as practicable, the Gazette ana
C5met will be issued daily.

But I'd De prosperous and happy, you
must labor not merely when you feel
like it, or for scanty support, but in
dustriously and steadily, with view
