All vacancies in office outside of the committee to bo filled by county committee, its own vacancies filled by the remnant. Without attempting to1 argue the above plan it is submitted for examination. It caa donbtles be im proved, particularly ia number aad dates. It may look like marshal law. Whether it doea or not, I believe that something very mack like it alone will do. Wisdom prepares at the htt for thewr much mere so whea the worse is already unoa as. What with masy may bo most objectionable the concentra tion of power is, ia my opinion, the best feature ia the plan. If aay change is made la the number com- posing the several committees, let it be a reduction of number of members. And if there is authority anap propriated, let it be given to the committees If not clearly Inexpedient let it bo given to tlje county com mittee, it la en designed to ignore tne extsteffee Of several committees already la the county. May aot there be a more extended, systematic and strict reflation a pUa covering the whole rronnd effects ally aad barmoeioutly. .-; ' TO-DAY. " Camp 0? Ixsraccnox, j Oaatsacao, Ms24, 18i:- A general order waa read oa pared this evening, announcing the formation of the Third Regiment, and we arc not in it. Other companies that were equally at well entitled to be In it as oars were left out, cither through spite or politMalJugglery. Companies are ia it that have not left home more than a week, doi of which have had to borrow men from aa to drill them. The "outsiders' did a little cursing oa their own ac count, "not lood but deep." The regimental officers of the Third will be elected oa Monday. It Is very probable that the regiment as announced will not stand, as the two that have gone off have been re mod died two or three times a la Jlokt-ut fotui, D. tors, owlog to the harried manner In which the State) baa been obliged to pat her force In the field, ibe has not been able to as thoroughly equip tne men as tney ought to be and as she will do if they are kept at ser vice any time. For the present, la lieu of knapsack the men are being famished oil cloth for coverings for . their blankets, Ac ' -"') , y Oa Sunday wc had religion services la estop, led la the forenoon by the Rev. Mr. Miller, the Captain of the Tkomasvllle Rifles. Be belong to the Presby terian denomination. In the afternoon, the scrvloea were led by onr Chaplain, Rev, W. C. Power. On both occasions the attendance was very large, tad the interest eaanifetted very gratifying. I was aot able V be present at the forenoon cervices, owing to belpg oa duty all the night before and op to tea o'clock la the morning. The sermon ia the afternoon wsj oa the first claase of I Tim. ii, 8, "I will therefore that mea pray everywhere," aad was very appropriately applied to the cirenmatanoe by which the troop are surrounded. At the conclusion of the eervicee the long metre doxology was given with an nnction aad melody that eonld not be excelled anywhere by any set of men. More than one heart was touched aad felt it. ' ' : : - - '. The boy arc all well, and seem much better pleased than at any time since they left homo. Wc arc divided Into messee, aad it Is amusing to see the attempt at cooking by those who never dreamed that they would ever have anything of the kind to do for themselves. I see by the .Richmond paper that the First and Second Regiment of the volunteers from this State have been at signed to active duty la Virginia, the first. at Yorktowa aad the latter at Norfolk. The report ia camp this morning 1 that Governor Letcher ha telegraphed to Governor Ellie that all tho available forces at thta point be tent immediately to ' 8olfotk, near Norfolk. If the report is true, the probability ia that we will go. off with the Third to morrow. MoronneaV P. S.

This Regiment it is understood will leave here to-morrow fjr Suffolk, Va. A general order was read oa ' parade iatt evening announcing IB formation of the Fourth Regiment. It will bo seen by the following litt, the position we take in it. aad that we are with old acquaintances, and ia very good company.'- It la said ia Raleigh that from its composition the Fourth will be the crack Regiment.

Coming down with tho flag wrapped around bim, be met Mr. Jackson, whea Ellsworth remarked, Uere I have got a prise." Jaektoa replied, "Yes, and here Is another prise," at thi same time leveling bis double-barreled shot gun, and shooting Ellsworth dead oa the epos. Jackson waa speedily murdered by the Zouaves.

Another account says: The Zouaves, from New York, constituted the principal part of tbe first Instalment of invaders, and aa soon aa tbey were opon tbe whan, they separate into different portions, each of which took different positions. One proceeded bp the line of the railroad to the depot? one to the intersection of Fairfax and Prince streets, and one, commanded by the famous Col. Ellsworth ia person, to the -Marshal House, I rem the top of which proudly floated tbe flag of tbe Confederate States. As this but portion arrived opposite tbe King street door of tho hotel, a eqasd, beaded by Ellsworth, broke from rank ' and rushed up the sUire for the purpose of tearing down the flag.
