C, March 14," and signed Van H. Manning, exposing the conduct of J. M. Leach, who is now a candidate for Congress in the 7th District. The writer states that when Leach was captured in February or March, 1863, (while on a visit, we suppose, to Mississippi,) and carried to theyankee General Grant's headquarters on the Mississippi River, he (the said J M Leach) " expressed him self repeatedly and unreservedly in favor of the Federal Union; boasting that he was the last man in North Carolina to quit struggling for its cause; that be held himself ready at all times to renew his efforts in its behalf when the opportune moment should arrive." "His (Leach's) language was so offensively pro voking to Lieut. Col. Taylor, 3d Ark. infantry," says Mr Manning, " that he (Taylor) openly de nounced him and asked they should be separated, which was promptly done, Col. Taylor being close ly confined, and J M. Leach being granted privi leges suited to his avowed loyalty to the Federal States." If J. M. Leach acted as this writer charges, he ought not to be allowed to go at large, much less canvass the 7th District for a seat in Congress. And if a man who has acted in that way should unfortunately be elected to the Confederate Con gress, we hope the true men of that body will ex pel him as soon as he takes his seat. Mr Manning says that this expose of Leach would have been furnished by Col. Taylor, but for bis absence at present with bis command in the ' . r army in lennessee. . m Gov. Vance has gone on a visit to the Army of Northern Virginia, in response to invita tions from the soldiers. He will address the sol diers on public affairs. JB1- Lieut-Col. Jhn' A.

A recent reperusal of Lee's ."Memoirs of the Campaign in the Southern Department of the United States" has, of course, brought to mind much that we have read and heard of the famous Tarleton, whose very name was so terrific, that our grandmothers of Revolutionary times, failing by other means to reduce to obedience their re fractory "little ones," would awe them to good be havior by telling them thatf "Tarleton will get you if you don't behave yourselves." . There is an an ecdote concerning Tarleton's indomitable will that we published in the "Petersburg Intelligencer," in June, 1843, and which was copied into "Par ton's Life of Andrew Jackson," with a commenda tion of the graphic manner in which it was narra ted. This anecdote was comttfunicated to the "Intelligencer' by John Cameron, Esq , then of the town of Hillsborough, and now a resident of Halifax county, N. C. Mr. Cameron derived the account from a survivor of the revolution, and dressed up in his own graphic way, "the plain, unvarnished tale" that he got from the old man, and at our request communicated it to the "Intel ligencer." It is as follows: "As soon," wrote the old tory messenger, "as I came in view of the British lines, I hastened to deliver myself up to the nearest patrol, informing him that I was the bearer oi important dispatches from Lord Cornwallis to Colonel Tarleton. The guard was immediately called out, the commander of which, taking me in charge, carried me at once to Tarleton's marque. A servant informed him of my arrival, and returned immediately with the answer that his master would see me after awhile, and that, in the meantime, I was to await his plea sure where I then was. The servant was a grave and sedate looking .Englishman, between fifty and sixty years of age, and irifcrnrcd me that he had known Colonel Tarleton from his earliest youth, having lived for many years in the family of his father, a worthy clergyman, at whose particular request he bad followed the colonel, to this coun try with the view that, if overtaken by disease and suffering in his headlong: career, he might have Packages or .Freight to j i.'jove 1 rains, be sent to ! tn its departure. j I'. fJILLESPIK, Agent. tf !

The friends and relatives of soldiers in the Army of Northern Virginia are hereby notified that an ariange ment has this day been effected with the Southern Ex press Company, to carry all packages of food and wear ing apparel to Richmond, Va. To secure the advantages thus obtained through the Express Company, the following instructions must be observed : Packages must not contain more than one hundred pounds : be well secured, and plainly marked, and sent at the expense ot the shipper to either oi the ooldierr Relief Associations, which are located as follows : In North Carolina, at Raleigh ; in South Carolina, at Columbia; in Georgia, at Augusta ; in Alabama, at Montgomery; or to any other point at which one of these Associations have an office. The Agents of these Associations will there take charge of them, and ship daily, by Southern Express j Company, to the proper Agents of the respective States at Richmond, who will see them distributed to ths i proper individual owners. To meet the wishes oi tne soiaiers, anu io give mem a certain and speedy communication with home, the Southern Express Company has agreed to give this freight preference over everything else ; and, in order that no obstacle may occur to the success of so lauda ble an enterprise, the several Railroad Companies are hereby requested to render the Express Company such facilities as will enable it to make this arrangement a complete success. As the Southern Express Company assumes all re sponsibility of the transportation of these packages, the Relief Associations are requested to withdraw their Agents who have heretofore acted as travelling mes sengers. If the relief Associations will establish agen cies" in the rear of other armies, they may rnjoy the same privileges hereby secured to" the Army of Northern Virginia. " F. W. SIMS, Approved Lieut. Col. and Quartermaster. A. R. Lawi on, Quartermaster General. some one near him who had known him ere the pranksome mischief of the boy had hardened into the sterner vices of the man. 'He was always a wild blade, friend,' said the old man, 'and many a heart-ache has he given us all; but he'll mend in time, I hope.' Just then ray attention was at tracted by the violent plnngings of a horse which two stout grooms, one on each side, were endeav oring to lead toward the spot . where we were standing. He was a "large and powerful brute, beautifully formed, and black as a crow, with an eye that actually seemed to blaze with rage at the restraint put upon him. His progress was one continued bound, at times swinging the grooms clear from the earth as lightly as though they were but tassels hung on his huge Spanish bit, so that with difficultly they escaped being trampled ULder foot. I asked the meaniug of the scene, and was informed that the horse was one that Tar leton had beard of as being a magnificent animal, but one altogether unmanageable; and so delighted was he with the description, that he sent all the way down into Moore county, where his owner re sided, and purchased him at the extravagant price of one hundred guineas; and that, moreover, he was about to ride him that morning. 'Ride him!' said I 'why, one had as well try to back a streak of lightning. The mad brute will certaiu ly be the death of him.' Never fear for him,' said my companion, 'never fear him His time has not come yet.' By this time the horse had been brought up to where we were; the curtain of the marque was pushed aside, and my attention was drawn from the savage stud to rivet itself upon his dauntless rider. And a picture of a man he was! Hat her below the middle height, and with a face almost femininely beautiful. Tarleton pos sessed a form that was a perfect model of manly strength and vigor. Vithout a particle of supei fluous flesh, his rounded limbs and full broad chest seemed molded from iron, yet, at the same time, displaying all the elasticity which usually accompanies elegance of proportion. His dress, strange as it may appear, was a jacket and breech es of white linen fitted to his form with the utmost exactness. Boots of russet leather were half way up the leg, the broad tops of which were turned down, the heels garnished with spurs of an im mense size and length of rowel. On his head was a low-crowned hat, curiously formed from the snow-white feathers of the swan, and in his hand he carried a heavy scourge with shot well twist ed into its knotted lash. After looking around for a moment or two, as though t command the attention of all, he advanced to the side of the horse, and, disdaining the use of the stirrup, with one bound threw himself into the saddle, at the same time calling on the urooms to let him so. For an instant the animal teemed paralyzed; then with a perfect yell of rage, bounded into the air like a stricken deer. The struggle for mastery had commenced i bound succeeded bound with the rapidity of thought, every device which its animal instinct could teach was resorted to by the maddened brute to shuke off its unwelcome burden but in vain. Its ruthless rider proved irresistible, and clinging : like late itself, plied the scourge and rowel like a fiend. The punishment was too severe to be long withstood, and at length, after a succession of fran tic efforts, the tortured animal, vith a scream of agony leaped forth upon the plain, and flew across it with the speed of an arrow. The ground upon which Tarleton had pitched his camp was an al most perfectly level plain, something more than half a mile in circumference. Around this, after getting him underway, he continued to urire his furious sieed, amid nits raptures ana shouts of the admiring soldiery, piy HISTQBICAI. SKETCH OP THE SIXTH N. C. KEGIMKNT.

K J W Lea, Captain; J S Vincent, 1st Lieut; Samuel Cramford, 2d; Samuel Roney, junior 2d. The regiment remained in camp of instruction from June 1st, 1861, until July 8, 1861, when it moved to Raleigh, and was detailed as funeral es cort to the body of Gov Ellis. The military hon ors were performed July 9, 1861. Here Lieut Col Dortch resigned. Major Lightfoot was pro moted Lieutenant Colonel, and Capt Webb Majot. July 10, 1861, the Regim:nt started to Virgiuia, arrived at Winchester, July 16, 1861, reported to Gen Joseph E Johnston, was assigned tq the 3d brigade, Gen Barnard E Bee, and immediately placed in line of battle, where it remaiued until the 18th July, when it took ap the line of march for Manassas, where it arrived on the morning of July 21, 1861. The regiment suffered severely on the march, being forced, and without time to coot. For three days the regiment had not eaten more than one day's rations. On arriving at Ma nassas, the Regiment was marched immediately to the fluid and participated in the battle, with severe loss, losing also Col Chas F Fisher, who was shot down Sfter having captured a section of Rickett's battery, and gaining the first foothold ou the con tested hill. The Regiment then camped for several days a Camp Bee, near the battle ground, and about Aog 1, 1861, moved to Camp Jones, near Bnstow where it remained, suffering greatly from sickness until Sept 15, 1861, when it moved to Camp Hill, near Dumfries, on the Potomac, where it remained until taking up winter quarters at Camp Fisher, near Dumfries. At Camp Jones, on the unani mous recommendation of all the officers, Col W D Pender, ot the dd JS C V olunteers, was promoted to Colonel of the 6th State Troops, and took com mand about the 15th August, 1861. From this time the Regiment was plaeed in the 2d. corps in the army ot the Potomac, under Maj-Gen G W Smith, and about this time Brig General W H C Whiting took command of the brigade, relieving Col Falkner of the 2d Miss. The brigade consist ed ot the 4th Ala , 2d Miss., 11th Miss, and 6th N. C. regiments. Gen Whiting commanding the division during the winter of 18612. The regi ment picketed on the Potomac from Evansport to Free Stone Point. March 8th, 1862, the regiment marched to Fredericksburg, arriving the 10th. Nothing of interest transpired while here. Lieut; Col Light foot was detached to take command of the Post of Fredericksburg, was afterwards elected Colonel of the 22d N C Volunteers, and never after rejoined this regiment. April 8th, 1862, the regiment took up the line of march for Yorktown, where we were placed in the 1st Division, 1st Reset ve Corps. Brig Gen Whiting commanding division and Maj' Gen G W Smith commanding the oorps. May 4th, we took up the retreat to Williamsburg, ar riving the same day and camping four miles be yond the town. The next day we took up the litifc of march for Etham's Landing, making a forced march of 37 miles in one day over muddy roads and through rain. JUay 7th, the regiment participated in the action at Etham's Landing, Col Pender commanding, and, on the 8th May, took up the line of march for Richmond, the regi ment covering the retreat of the army; arrived at Richmond 10th xVlay, where nothing of interest transpired until May 31st, when the regiment par ticipated in the battle of Seren Pines, making twi gallant charges against the enemy's battery on the railroad. Ueing entirely unsupported in the first - charge, and the enemy having greatly superior numbers, the regiment was driven back; but being supported in the second charge, held the position until ordered out. On the 14th of June, the regiment joined Gen Jackson at Staunton, and, on the 18th June, tock up line of march for Richmond, and participated at Gaines' Farm, June 27th, being one of the regi ments which charged the enemy's works and cap tured eight pieces of rifled cannon. July 1st, tysburg and silenced the enemy V guns, after an obstinate hand to hand fight of at least five minutes duration with bayonets and clubbed muskets over the stonewall, and held the heights full two hours unaided. Participated at Fairfield in covering tb retreat J uly 5th. Skirmishes are too numerous to be recounted io this sketch. This Regiment belonged to the "old third Brig ade," and followed its gallant Brigadiers, Whiting and Law, through all those engagements which s rendered that so famous. When the Regiment was detached from that Brigade, Gens. Hood and Law, in orders, pronounced the 6th North Carolina Regiment second to no regiment io ths Confed erate Army. Its. first commander was Gen J E Johnston com manding army of the Shenandoah ; its first corps commander was Gen G W Smith; its second corps commander was Gen J Longstreet; Us third, Lieut Gen T J Jackson; its fourth, Lieut General R S Ewell; its first division commander was Maj Gen Whiting ;. its second, Gen J B Hood ; its third, Gen J A Early ; its first brigade commander was Brig Gen B E Bee; its second, Brig Gen Whiting; its third, E M Law; its fourth, R F Hoke.

He was taken up in a state of total insensibility. and so continued nntil Monday evening. He spoke but few words. v "Tell my brothers in the Ministry, said he, "that 1 died at my post." Mr Linn was a man of uncommon amiability and goodness ef heart kind and gentlo to all, at home and abroad a highly beloved and useful pastor, and a most excellent citizen.

S Hunt up the stragglers, says the Charles ton Courier, the skulkers, the dodgers, the men who are playing all pretences under cover of do- tails and unlimited furloughs, and send them io the army. Drive off those who go about predict ing evil and disaster, and who aro ready to submit. This should be tie duty of all good citizeas who are lawfully at home, and see that those who are liable perform their duty. The women have done well and cin do more in this way. t Any wife, . sister, daughter or sweetheart who wishes a furlough visit from a husband, brother, father or beau, who has been faithfal to his post, has only to escort into camp a straggler or a re turning and penitent prodigal.

"At length, exhausted from the conflict, Tarleton drew up before his tent, and threw himself from the saddle. The horse was completely subdued, and at the word of command followed him around like a dog. The victory was complete. Bis eye of fire was dim and lustreless, drops of agony fell from his drooping front, while from his .laboring and mangled sides the mingled blood and foam poured in a thick clotted stream. Tar leton himself was pale as death, and as soon as be was satisfied of his success, retired and threw himself on his couch. In a Bhort time I was called into his pre- sence, and delivered my dispatches."
