T., Cruise's Field, July 3,18G2. Editor of the Standard Dear Sir: Supposing that our friends in the old North UState would like to know of ciur j whereabouts, since our ar rival in the Old Dominion, 1 concluded I would give you a sketch of what we have seen and done since wc left our camps above Kinston. On the evening of the liUh oi June, Col. V ance announced to his regiment that on the morrow we would leave for llichmond to take a part in the great struggle for freedom and independence, followed by a short andj patriotic address, which was received by his bovs -with shouts of exulta tion. Left next day: arrived in Petersburg on the night of the 24th June, were marched to the large and Commodijjus market-house, and stopped for the night; remained here till Tuesday even ing, J une 24th, left for Richmond arrived there about midnight, and were marched to the capitol, ana slept on its beautiful grounds. Here, we re ceived many attentions from the citizens oRich mond, and especially from Gov. Letcher, who threw open his ; doors to us and invited us to share of his hospitalities. Next morning we left for the "Seven Pinos," the noted field of "battle of the bOth and Cist of May. Arriving in one mile of the battle field, wa were stopped to re fresh ourselves a little, and then marched down to where a spirited engagement was going on be tween our forces and the yankees. Our regiment was soon thrown into line of battle, and has been soever since, until now, except when marching through mud and water, undergoing all sorts of hardships, being without tents and a good deal ot the time drenched with rain all of which we have endured as; good soldiers, ready and willing to do and suneri all things tor the good ot our country. I At Seven Pines, we had several severe J skirmish fights with the yankees, always driving! tnem back, and advancing our line of tuckets, un ui Duouay morning, when we took possession ol .an ' A ' meir enure camps and breastworks, and Dlanted our flag upon their splendid ramrjarts. One en- gagement at this place deserves especial notice Our regiment had advanced about one mile to where the enemy were throwing up entrench ments, drove them out, taking posses&ion of the same, and capturing1 all their spades and pick: axes, and a number of guns. We occupied these entrenchments tall day, or until about ijunset, when the 24th N. 0. llegiment was sent to re- lieve--us. ; About the time it arrived, and we were leaving the entrenchments, the yankees poured in a heavy volley of musketry upon us, but with out doing us much harm. No sooner was this done, than our j brave Col. Vance called to his men to rally again to 4he entrenchments, which was obeyed promptly. The' Colonel displayed! a degree of bravery in this fight as he has in every one in which his regiment hag been engaged, sel dom if ever surpassed by any officer, walking tip and down the line of battle encouraging his men, and hallooing to the blu;Coats to come on. Col. Vance xa one ot the men who always says, "come on, oovs, ana not "so. as a eteat manv uo, al ways keeping themselves out of danger. A braver man never lived and he has a heart in his bosom that feels lor the poor soldier, and lie is ever ready to da anything and every thing he can,' to render his men pleasait and agreeable.' We all love him, and will die round hiin if neei be. Long may he live to enjoy the gratitude and smiles of those who have been so intimately con nected with him in camp for the last 12 months. We started about Iz o clock bundav, iu pursuit of the yankees got in one mile ot them opened fire upon them with our artillery, which was kept up till 'ate at night, when the; firing ceased oft both sides. Morning came, and the yankees had left leaving behind thousands of dollars worth of clothing, guns, tools and everything else im aginable. Our boys were eager to gather relies, and nearly all have something by which to re member the yankees. We pressed on, passing by the battle-field -of Monday; the ground was cover ed with dead and "wounded yankees, as . .wUr ii u in OCT ir . mi, i vi-- aJfJay eveninglve battle at this place, (Cruise's field,) commenced, which according to the numbers en gaged was the hardest of the fighting, attended with as much slaughter. Uur brigade was orougn.i into action late in the evening, and marched into the field in th face of heavy cannonading. . The 2Gth regiment went into the action yelling at the lw "1C J"""5 r ton of the r voices, and the field of battle showed ui men vimt, o j l. Via fnn next mornins what part she had taken in the con- flict, When several ot her boys were found dead riave ne.tner nope, nor expec.auon oi m,s, ou. are ngnt ia fifty paces of the yankee battery. The firing "8 'or 'oar exterminate, that they may possess them- 1 . . . J - , I f !k. . .lil. nr I U a Sniilk anrl at tlia sums ceased about midnight, leaving the Confederates In possession of 'the field. The yankees left by It affords me much pleasure to state that all our field officers as well as the company command- era behaved with marked bravery. Providence seems to have smiled upon us, and I am happy to state that the loss of our regiment is slight.

C, last week and proceeded at once to the Richmond Examiner office, where he related that there were "ten thousand!! fugitive slaves at JNewbern and between three and five thousand! at Washington.' lie added that the yankees have lately refused to feed them, and that they are, in consequence, suffering severely. Thk Alabama Salt Wobks The statements about the discovery of exceedingly valuable salt springs in Clark county, Alabama, are fully confirmed. The State and many individuals are at work making salt. Hands make from $100 to $ 150 a month -gross. A Baptist min ister writes that he is making 6 bushels a day to eight hands at $13 a sack. 1 J FA VETTK Vllililaj, Till' USD AY EYKXING, JUU 17, 12. An Inter gbtino Lkttsr -We copy trom the Rich mond Enquirer a letter from Lieut. Maury of the Con federate Navy to a French Admiral (omitting only some paragraphs which are merely personal. ), The condition anij feelings of the South are geuerally well stated in thi letter; but it is not this which has attracted our'at tention, so much as two things stated by LienrManry, evidently upon h'is own personal knowledge, viz: 1st. that to assist them in their system of lying and decep tion, the yankees have actually taken to printing bogus Southern newspapers, imitations of the genuine in ap pearance, but filled with matter of their own concoction. Aud 2d, that in their malignancy, amounting to utter depravity, they have invented a ball which, when it reef ion! Ca anything equal this? It is far worse than the poisoned arrow, because the latter is the instrument of savages; but the explosive bullet, is the invention of a people professing to be civilized, and is employed against their own .kins-people, who have long been con nected with themselves by the closest bonds "of social, politioal, and commercial life, and whom they are war- f, WW !nln a lik. union At lW .!. " J, t . . 4U 3 " profess; but we hive come to the conclusion that tbey f f . .. . .... v , , . f e" U1 ,uc T-n" """" " time gratify their( malignant hate f those who have uarea to cut loose irom mem. . ve neeu uoi euuuitmw the evidences of this. What the South has to do is to resist and defeat the satanic purpose. The printing of spurious Southern papers account for some things heretofore unaccountable. The New York papers published articles which they professed to quote from the Richmond Dispatch, that had never ap peared in that paper. And the Philadelphia' Inquirer professed, to quote from the Raleigh Standard of Jnine 11th, when no Raleigh Standard was issued on that day, or had ever contained any such language. The Standard thought the article had been prepared in North Carolina and sent to the North for publication. Lieut. Maury's statement shows, we think, that the Standard misjudged its assailants who, to whatever shifts some of them may be capable of resorting, are apparently guiltless of this. There is one particular in which we do not agree with Lieut. Maury. He denies that the negro is the cause of the present revolution, and affirms that the tariff and hatred of the Yankee character are the true causes. This is manifestly a mistaken view. The revolution took place on the election ef Lincoln, not because of any tariff views, nor because he was a yankee. We' had had tariff men and yankees in the Presidential chair before; but we never'before had hajl a man elected because he was an anti-slavery man, by a party whose one idea was hostility to the institution. Unauthorized, unnecessary, malignant interference with that institution for forty years had finally culminated in the success of the party whioh meditated its destruction. The people of the South had stood a far worse tariff than existed on the election of Lincoln, or was likely to be enacted. They had no such knowledge of yankee character aa this war has developed. They could have tolerated both these, for they were prosperous and happy at home. But they could not tolerate the idea of having their fair land con verted into a second San Domingo. ' It is now the uni versal Southern sentiment, it is ours most decidedly, that the separation did not take place a day top soon, and that it is eternal. " ' . Alabmf.d. Tjhe New York Herald of the 10th inst. is in great trouble about what it admita to be "the se ries of Federal disasters in Virginia, ending with the latest and greatest of them all the retreat of Gen. McClellan's army before superior numbers." It lays the blame upon "the imbecility of tbq War and Navy Departments." "But, (adds the Herald,) there is some thing still worse to be apprehended. The news of the disaster has gone to Europe, and upon its heels will pro bably follow intervention on the part of Fr&noe and England, if not of all the maritime powers of Europe." And it urges that the coast be fortified from the Rio Grande to the Kennebec, more iron-c.lad boats; be built, and the 300,000 men be speedily enrolled and brought into the field. . j j But this last is easier said than done. The New York World declares that the "call" has not yet kindled the first flash of enthusiasm; that "distrust weighs like a pall," and that "a sullea gloom is settling ou every heart. The people are coldly motionless." Important Movimssts. There is; no doubt that Lincoln has visited McClellan's camp on James river. We did not credit the report at first, but it is confirmed fro"m New York and Old Point, whichj latter place he passed on Thursday last. 1 It is said that Stanton, Sec retary of War, and Gen. Scott, accompanied him. On Friday night a Federal Captain arrived at Peters burg with despatches from McClellanJ which he pro ceeded to Richmond to deliver. He left McClellan's camp on the day after Lincoln's arrival there. Suensidj-'s Motemssts. We learn from Northern papers that Burnside had made all his preparations for an advance inland fromNewbern, and was to have start ed on the 1st inst, but on that day he received dispatch es calling him to the Peninsula, to reinforce McClellaa. He and his vessels and men at once proceeded to Old Point, and thence to McClellan's camp on the 7th. , So it seems that in whipping the yankees before Rich mond, our North Carolina soldiers were in reality fight ing their battles for home, for a raid by Burnside into,' the interior of the State has been nipped in the bud. . Under these circumstances Mr. Vance may be elect ed, fr he has all the advantages that electioneering can give him. But we warn those about to vote for Mr. Vance to pause and think whether upon the whole, they approve the course of the Raleigh Standard and its affiliated politicians; for, although by voting for Mr. Vance, thev mav not mean to endorse the course of this clique, they will find after it is done, that they have in effect, done so. Their votes for Vance will be referred to as so manv endorsements of Holdenism, aud more than that, they will find that, substantially, by electing Mr. V ance, they have placed in power tne clique wnicn rotates and gyrates somewhere in and around Raleigh, and does its publishing through the Standards Mf. Vance, if elected, cannot and will not free himself from lhat influence. It is right that the citizens and soldiers V.ika should bnnw this. Wilminaton Journal. 16A. Upon the above we remark, (borrowing an idea from the Salisbury Watchman,) that upon the Journal's prin ciple advanced above', there can be tittlo-or no voting on either side at the coming election. For if votes for Vanoe are to be regarded "as so many endorsements of Holdenism," equally will rotes for Johnston be so many endorsements of Journalism, (Wilmington and State Journalism,) which is incomparably worse than Hold enism. i , r ' ' 1 : ' i But we copy the above mainly to let our readers see that the Journal In effect admits that CoL Vance will be elected.)

We have received a pamphlet copy of the annual report of the President, Thos. Webb, Esq. The earnings of the road for the year ending May 31st, 1862, were $791,063 68, against $420,661 89 for the previous year. The net profit was $350,643 52. Through passengers paid $25,fc5G 91, way passengers $239,749 39 exclusive of soldiers. The number of soldiers transported was 87,057; of other passengers 117,325. Earnings from private freight $148,863, from gov't freight $123,535 40. The cost of working the road has been only about SO per cent, of its whole earnings. The road works for the Confederacy at half price. The road is in better condition than at this time last year. The shops have been the salvation of the Company, and the wisdom of those who planned them on the scale upon which they were built is now demonstrated. - Besides the dividend of 8 per cent, the company baa paid $90,000 of debts contracted prior to the last year, $28,000 for coupons on funded debt, and $25,000 to the sinking fund.' This fund now amounts to $112,000, and is invested in State bonds, many of which were pur chased at 80 to 85 per cent, of their face. In closing his report the President pays a high and we have no doubt a deserved compliment to the skill and ability of his immediate predecessor, Paul C. Came ron, Esq. He deserves credit for thus doing justice to one against whom a prodigious amoun had. been expended. . of public clamor A SroY about North Carolina. -The Philadelphia Inquirer publishes a long "statement of John Mintou., a ; rebel soldier," who deserted, so says the Inquirer. In it we find the following about North Carolina: . 'Just before the Fair Oaks fight the time of the 32d North Carolina Regiment expired. Fifty of them were granted a furlough to return home for twenty days, when they were captured by Gen.iBumside. One hun dred men from the regiment were'sent to ascertain the cause of their prolonged absence They also fell into the hands of the General. The Colonel then took the re mainder of the regiment in quest of the absentees, when Qen. Burnside bagged them all." r ' In spite of the 32d being "all iagged" by Burnside, we think they were in the late bajtles at Richmond and gavs the lie to this yankee story,! which was probably manufactured for one of the bogus Southern papers. The time of the 32d did not expire before the baitle of Fair Oaks, nor has it jet expired, the Regiment baling been formed only about nine months ago. Of Pousse Burnside never captured a man of them.

We have late advides from Fredericksburg, which strongly im ply the design ef the Federal forces there under com mand of General King to retire to Washington. . There had positively been no southward movement irom mere of any considerable portion J of Gen. King's forces. About sixty or seventy Yankee marauders had appeared at Bowling Green, in Caroline county; but there had been.no demonstration towards Gordonsville or beyond the immediate objects of plunder in Caroline county. Last Friday night the Yankees destroyed the bridge atfross the Rapidan, with the supposed object of facili tating their retreat to the line of the Potomac. - . . ,. Examiner. ' From East Tenntttet.

McCook's division, 10,000 strong, is marching against Chattanooga, with 25 pieces of artillery and liuell s cavalry, wwoeu -certainly has been arrested and ordered to Washington. Gen.

Jack Morean surprised three hundred Federal cavalry at Tompkinsville, Monroe county, Kentucky, and captured 30, wounded 21, and captured 40 horses, eight wagons and one ambulance containing, guns and ammunition. Morgan had one wounded but none killed. Exchange of Prisoner. We alluded briefly, on yes terday, to the fact that negotiations were pending be tween the Confederate and Federal Goternments for a general exchange'of prisoners. The Commissioner is Major-General D.(JI. Hill, who is now engaged in pre paring the lists of exchange it having been agreed that each Government should report the number and names of all prisoners in durance, on parole and wounded, and perform the exchange by gWing man for man, and in relation to officers, in such ratio as the usages of war have established as just. The movement was initiated by the Federal Government, whose special, messenger reached Richmond a- few days ago, by flag of truce via City Point and Petersburg. Some weeks must elapse before the exchange is consummated. . Rich; Enquirer. Arrival of Wounded Prisoner. About eight hundred wounded prisoners reached the city last evening, from Savage's Station, on the York River Railread. They include some fifty field and company officers. Many of them are very severely wounded, but having with them their own physicians, who are well supplied with all t he reoninite medical -and sureical appliances, thev have little cause to complain. Rtchmond Enquirer, 16fA.v The Captured Arm. It is found, upon examination, 1 that comparatively few of the muskets captured from the Yankees in the battles below Richmond, have sus tained serious damage. The fact is, they did not have time, on their famous retreat from the Chickabominy, to make the destruction of property complete, and hence we find, in a lot of twenty thousand not more than a thousand that cannot be . speedily Tendered as good an new. These arms are generally of "superior quality, including many of recent invention and European manu facture. Dispatch. The Yankee Gunboats at Hamilton. Gov.
