Kind Letters.

We received last. week some four or FIVE
very cordial letters from friends of both
sexes In relation to. our paper, sketches,
etc. The following is 5 private letter from
Col. Robert F. Webb, whose gallantry was
approved on more than the Bun Run battle
field. 1t is pleasing to have his corrobora-
ton OF statements rejecting SO much hOUOr
upon our State troops
DURHAM, N. c., Feb. 9, 1879.
DEAR SIR: | have ben reading with much
pleasure your valuable, and, SO far as | am
Years in Battle and Three in Prison." and
must say | consider it, thus far, the most
correct history of that terrible struggle that
has yet been W itten.
AIN expressly gratifed at the truthful
account of the battle of Manassas, and of the
active part taken by the 9th n. &. Regl-
ment, as you gave it in your last number.
1t always gives me pleasure to contribute
my humble testimony to the noble bearing
of our lamented Col. Fisher. He was one of
the best and bravest men l ever knew.
Never shall / forget the expression on his
manly face a few short moments before his
death. | carried the message from Lieut.
| Colonel Lightfoot, asking him for permission
to form the regiment in line. With one OF
his peculiar smiles, amid the roaring of
shells, and with balls falling thick and fast
around him, he paid his soldiers the highest
compliment | ever heard an officer pay his
men on the battle field. He told ME he
should lead his regiment himself, for he
knew his men and hadthe utmost confidence
in them, and every man would do his duty
to drive back the enemy. 1t was, in my
humble judgment, the 9th Regiment that
turned the tide of battle on that memorable
2lst, and saved the day; first, by disabling
Ricketts, Battery, and second, holding the
advancing enemy in check, who had com
pletely turned our left wing, and holding the
position until reinforcements had arrived,
when the enemy were in turn driven from
the field.
Go on, in your good work! We want just
such a truthful history of the acts of North
Carolina gallant sons, who sealed their de-
votion to the Lost Cause with their blood on
many a hard fought field. Wishing you
much success,
remain, yours very truly,
RoBT. f. WEBB.

Let the Press Speak Out.

''The rise in the price of paper and print
ing material, dntOunting 10 near rty per
CENT, has created quite a furry in the news
paper world. Some papers have advanced
their prices TO meet the emergency. We
hope that Congress will remove the tax on
printing material, and thus help The press
90 maintain their present rates established
when things were at bottom prices. Pub
fishers now have to pay postage on all the
papers they send beyond the limits of their
respective counties. This also is a great
tax, which ought to be removed. Raleigh
Observer.
True enough, Bro. Ashe, but ought to
be Is apt To remain very tar from will
be-, unless our leading journalists begin to
press for the desired legisla ton. A memo
rial, having the endorsement OF every State
paper, irrespective OF party, or creed, should
be forwarded to our Representatives in Con
gress, who we feel sure will take pleasure
in doing all they can for the press, which
State. The editors of other States would
soon follow suit and perhaps sue not in
VAR.
W e are not an advocate of protective
measures, except In rare cases but IT
there be any interest that all parties should
unite to favor and foster, it is that Of the
press. Without going irto rhapsodies over
the profession, we may point to the superb
GRITTY of the American nation in general ar
erdge intelligence over other nations
as being due in great measure to
the fact that in this couLtry news
papers are so numerous and so cheap that
every backwoods hut can have its weekly
mail-messenger bringing the latest informa-
ton from all quarters Of the globe.
Yet strange to say the tenor of Congress
sional legislation, as we'll as the regulations
Of the Postofice Department, for halfa doz-
en- years past nave been prejudicial 10 the
interests of the press, if We except the big
dailies in the North.
To come back to business, We nominate
Messrs. Ashe, Kingsbury, Jones, Bailey
and Hanes, to draft a memorial to our Sen
ators and Representatives on behalf the
State press-calling for relief from the bur
dens complained of. Promptness of action
cal best be obtained by q small committee
and We feel sure the entire profession will
endorse their action.

LIVELY ITEMS. On the inside page we
tell about three rowdies, who broke up q
ball, in New Mexico territory, and shot the
town marshall, Carson. The wires announce
that Carson's friends, OF Sunday, night re-
sumed the shooting we're the cowboys left
eff; giving them each about IS balls apiece,
great waste of lead, it seems to US. -rwo
men at Bradford, Pa, started to carry 100
lbs of nitro glycerine to a n~eighboring vii
lage. The sleigh upset, and the two men,
and the two horses, and two houses, and a

a mile or more or less. --At Richmond,
the reporters ofthe daily State has been we
think. unnecessarily severe upon the Re-
adjuster members OF the Legislature. Capt.
Jas. A. Frazier, writing to his local paper,
complained that be had been misrepresented
by the State. j.. Hampton Chamberlayne,
editor Of the State, who is also q membe of
the Legislature, denounced Frazier who said
he didn't mean him. Archer, the rep r er,
called Frazier into the passage and punched
his head. Then, tho dignified lawmakers
all rushed out to enjoy the fight. Then
events are keeping up a state of bad blood

Grant in Congress, the other day there
was a silly quarrel between A. H. Stephens,
Ben. Hill, and DR.. FELTON, on the one
had, and Senator Gordon, and other Geor-
pia members on the other. The subject is
the opposition of the last named gentlemen
to the opponent Of an illiterate and venom
Gus old fellow named Simmons, as one Of
the census supervisors of Georgia. Stephens
| said it was reported that Gordon's epposi-
ton was due to certain reasons whereupOn
Gordon asked for his authority. Stephens
refused to reply, and pronounced the whole
thing--''an internal cowardly falsehood
and calumny." And the bad blood be
tween the the wings Of the Democratic
party in New York, that is, in Virginia,
no, we mean, in Georgia, threatens to
lose the State, and elect Grant.-And
here is another lively hit Of news, dated
Knoxville. Tenn, Feb. 9Th ION Friday

seized and bound the President, E. E..
Rankle, who sleeps in TIE building, and at

The greatest excitement prevails IT is
rumored that young Poindexter will he

of the low, before entering the Penitentiary
for his two years term. A monument has
been raised over the grave of the young
man who was killed, which is within plain
view Of the Penitentiary. If Poindexte1
still loves the girl, she ought to marry him,
for he maue a fearful sacrifice to defend he
from insult.
