It is thus evi dent that Croatan sound will allow the passage ol ves sels of as large a draft of water as can approach it from tbe sea, whether they cnter.by Ilatteras or Ocra- coke Inlet Tbe channel, however, is intricate and - narrow and capable of being readily obstructed, we should think. Tbe same narrowness of the channel would evidently preclude the possibility of any nianocavriog - by gun-boats or other vessels attacking any batteries on tbe island, and .it seems to us they would be forced - to pass certain points in single file, Once in Albemarle i ;. Sound tbe shore" can be approached with safety in ' . twelve leet water within three fourths ol a mild of the ' shore, save at two or three point. Any vessel that . can enter Albemarle Sound can ascend the PasquoUiuk River to Elizabeth City. Tbe Dismal dwamp Canal . empties into tbe Pasquotank lliVer, the mouth of which is only divided from North River, the mouth i' of which is the Southern terminus of the Albemarle ' and Chesapeake navigation, by a narrow neck of land known as North Point - , - The water between Roanoke Inland and the banks is . known as IUanoke sound, and is not asvigablc. There are do lunar tides and any rise or fall in Albemarle and Croatan sounds is due to the wiads or the state of the rivers. : As for our means of resistance and defence we cad only trust that they may be adequate.

Where are the vessels of that flotilla gone,-and What point are they going to attack t g ; ;, We must suppose that they are gone North in the first place, the transports to take in fresh storrs end more men, and the ships of war to accompany any etbor " expedition " that may ba on foot . It is bardly probable tbtt any " expedition " bai been organized to go difect from Port Royal. Few of the vessels of thai fleet could co-opcrafo with those of the Burnside sot, on account of the draft of water.

As for this thing of "fixing up" communications it is very seldom that we can do it, as it takes more time and is much more irksoma than original composition. Things intended for publication ought to be made fully ready to be published before they Are sent We bad intended to make a reference to the Columbus matter in response to the Raleigh Standard neither long nor controversial however, for we have neither time nor taste for altercation ; also, to call the attention of the Convention and the public to some matters which ap pear to ns to be of vital importance.

' Kx-PKKfiDKKt Tiler whose death was announced on Saturday, was one of tbe few survivors of a former age, and must have exceeded tbe three score years and ten assigned by the Psalmist as tbe limit of human life. He had in bis time filled the positions of Senator and RcpreeeateAiv ia CoogTesa, of "Governor and Lieut. Governor of Virginia, of President and Yico President Of the United States. For years he bad lived in tbe strictest retirement, when tbe present disturbances again brought him on tbe public stage as a member ol the Virginia Commission and the Peace Conference. He probably enjoyed more genuine respect from the people ol Virginia at bis death than at any former period. Bewari or CccHTKRrKiTS. Our attention has been called te the manner in which one ol the two dollar treasury notes of this State has been counterfeited, so as to make it pass lor a ten dollar note. The figure ten had been cut from the margin of some blank Bank Bote probably from those on which the treasury notes are printed and the fen thus cut was pasted over the ftro wherever it .occurs in tbe two dollar note, so as to charge tbe bsue into ten instead of two. Tbe treas ury notes, which are printed on the back of tbe blank Bank notes, should be closely clipped, and never sent out with any of these extraneous figures attached to them. We bare heard also, that somepf tbe five and twenty cent issues have been circulated without authority of law, either in blank or filled tip. This must be owing to tbe neeject of the printer io not properly guarding the form of types on which these notes are printed ; or these notes may have been stolen from tbe printer, or from some one wbo bad them in pob-session alter tbey had passed from bis bands. We have no idea, however, that Mr. Treasurer Courts is to blame in this inAtter-iflefgA Standard. i. - For tha JooreaU , r.ALtion;N.X3., jAD.I8tb.1862. it an election IhIJ at Camp ain;om, dw LaWigb. on Friday, the 17th ir.rt.. the Miowinir wereelfctel lor V..e 3aui igimcut v..-- Trocr. - ........

It will become the duty of the mincers, however, to see thus provision is made lor the proper shelter and subsistence of their men, wherever oi u.Ted, and it is the duty ot the confederate otucers, under all circumstances, to co-operate with them in this laudable work.

A story ia told of two travellers irr Lapland, which throws more light on the art of beinir hnnny man a whole volume ol proverbs end anborUms. Upon a very cold sy in winter tkey were driving along in a sledge, wrapjed in furs from head to foot.. Lven their laces were closely covered, end you could hardly see anything- but their eye brows, and the3e were white aa 1 glistening with frost. At length they saw a poor maa who nau sunken down benumed and frozen in the snow. " We must stop snd belp bim," said one of the travellers. " Stop aid help Lira 1" re plied toe other, " you will never think ol atoppistr oi such a day as this t We are half frozen ourselves, and ought to be at our journey s end as soon as possible." " But I cannot leave this man to perish," and he stop ptd tho sledge. ' Come,'-' eaid he, " come and belp m to raise Inm. "JNot.j, replied the other. "I have too much regard for my own life to expose rsvsell to this freezing atmosphere morethsn is necessary. I will sit here, and keep myself as warm ns I can till you come back." So saving be resolutely kept bis seat : while bis companion huutcnid to'nlieve tbe perishing man. whom they bad bo providentially dipoovered. The ordinary means were used for restoring consciousness but the traveller was so intent upon saving tne life ot a fe!lowK:reatare, that ho forget his own exposure, and what were the consequences T Why the very efforts which be made to warm ten stranger warmed himaeli, Us bad tbs sffcet consciousness ot doing a benevolent act, and he alio found himself plowing from head to foot. by reason of the exertions which be bad made. And haw was it witb bis companion, who was so much afraid of exposing himself! He was almost ready to freeze, notwithstanding the efforts be bad been making to keep himself warm I -The lesson to be derived from this little ucident is obvious. Flag or Tares.

It haa been reported thaVwhct icihd the liurnside expedition was to operate on the coast of orth Caro lina. I bis is not true, as we juoc iruui ine loiorma tion before us. Iia Hessians will no doubt be distnbut- ' ed at Port Roval and Ship Island unless tbey intend to make a laudirg at lernandioa.tn the coastot Flo rida, or Brunswick on that ot Georgia. We can bard- - ly sec Low tbey can t-e ot service taere ; mated any- bere on the coast. iDa awe genera s in cjuimana w tbe South Cyotina ai d Georgia coast ouly want these marauders to Ian' so that they can gUa chance at tbem; bot they come inland only S3 ur as they can be covered by tbe range or their llauug arauery. .. . , . come oi our pcnie are anxious in resjKci io .uoiii.e h arinz that thfl Yankee soldiers may get into lbs city by some peculiar process not known to the arts of war. One would suppose that it was expected by these timid people that the enemy would drop down irom balloons, not seeming to know mat it requires time to marua irom any place of their landing to ibis city that tbey have te carry with them every thing for their subsistence that in the country tney win ue owigeu u marcu ever, there is no forage for their bora s, and pot even a hen roost to vioUte.Ior tLe lood oi ae men. tvery ming will have to be carried wi;h tLera for sabsistenctj.

There is uo greit dunper to Mobile, unless our nwa are asletp. We really believe, too, tbut there is no io teotion of the fleet to march beyond a position where thecp is a safe retreat For cur own part we should be pleased if it were otherwise and that tbe Ship Island army should land in any numbers on oar coast, because that weuld furnish An opportunity of giving them a new lesson. And yet while believing this, onr people must ba on the alert. The enemy would certainly destroy tbe city, il be thought tbe march to it was nut accom nanuwt Kj..
