MARCH 3, 1H«2. ^ Ka!»i 1>AV —No similar occasion was ever so general- ;v ,.l.«orved in this town as the day of fasting, huinilia- li.iii and prHver appointed by the Pre»ident for Friday lasi. Xf’irly every pl«ce of business was closed, and j specitication of the No. of each regiment we suppose •il'i'ropritite services were held in the Churches. Let us ' so,—the enemy can scarcely have overstated hope thnt the people of the Confi derate States, individ i number of prisoners captured. It is a disaster quite urtliyaiid collfctively, may, through Ood’s blessing, take J o the worst view we have had of it, and far over- tt u«w and better start from that day. ' shadowing that at Roanoke Island. .\a to this latter. we copy a somewhat remarkable statement from the Richmond Enquirer, which doubtless puts it forth un der the sanction of Gen. Wise himself. And while i' abounds with glorification of Wise, and the Wise Logion, and (). Jenuings Wise, aud systematically depreciate.^ the North Carolina troops, and is therefore unreliable on those points, it may, we suppose, be relied on as to the forces and the condition of the defences on the Island. W» think there is serious reason to cotupluin of that part ot I’resident Davis’s message in which he refers to those two disasters, as follows: •‘I li.'ivt' hoped for several days to receive otlicia’. re ports in relation to our discomfiture at Roanoke Island, iind the full of Fort Donelson. They have not yet reached me, and 1 am, therefore, unable to commuui- oafe to you such information of those events, and the consequences resulting from them, as would enable me »o make recouimeudaiions founded upon the changed condition which they have produced. Enough is known of the surrender at Roanoke Island to make us feel that it w is ileeply humiliating, however imperfect may have been tlie preparations for defence. The hope is still entertained that our reported losses at Fort Donelson tiavo been greatly exaggerated, inasmuch as I am not only Uuwiliing. but unable to believe that i» large uriu^ two regiments near this place, sub8e{uently organized, were armed with good muskets—one of them, the pet regiment of Col. Branch, with the percussion muskets of the returned Rethel volunteem. The regiment com manded by Col. Jordan was, therefore, in no condition with len. Buckner.” Nine of the regiments were from ' meet the enemy; l)ut two coiiijjauies of it, that wore I.Mi'UKTASf .Arrival. — We a»'e indebted to a friend for the following letter, which we publish, suppressing I he name ot the port at which the arrival took place. U is dated February 28th (Friday last.) Tlie Nash ville, ii will be remembered, ii the Confederate war vessel which has been so long watched in an Kuglish port by the U. S. sbip Tuscarora.

She touched at Bertuuda, where she met with the Captain and crew of the Schooner Tenrl, which left here just three weeks ago last night I'he Captain of the Nashville being at a loss what jiori to make, .Mr. Pt-ndcr proposed to take him in here The proffer was gladly uocepted. and taking the Captain of ihe Pearl as Pilot, he brought her in all safe, despite the blockade. The blockade tired two or three broad sides at the ‘‘Rebel," but her ueajcst shots fell short at least a quarter of a mile. The Nasliville tired one shot ^nly, which fell sliort about !tO ya>ds. -Mr. Pender informs me that ilio cargo of the Nit'^h- ville is worth to the t’onfeiieracy about but 1 could not It^arii of what it consisted. Mr. I’ender left hi-j vessel and cargo at Bermuda, in ,'ider to get the Nasuvilte in here, nnd deserves well of the Confederacy for tiiis .'ict of devoiidu to the Somh.

VoLUNTKERlSu.—W'e hear from various parts of the State that the spirit of patriotism is fully aroused, ami volunteers are mustering by hundreds and thousands. We think that fully one thousand have come forward within two or three weeks in this and Robesi n. Moore and Harnett counties. And w! see by a communicai ion in the Standard that seven companies are •now being or ganized in Mecklenburg county, upwards of 3iXi bi-iiig already enrolled. In Wilson county, a company of '.!) men was raised '1 on the way to Raleigh in 48 hours.

Ihe Richmond Dispatch’s regular corrcsfmndent, Dr. bhepardson. who was on tlie Islau>l, has written imi ac count of the battle for that paper, in which we find such statements as the following: “The guns in Fort Barlow were very skillfully used, and did good service throughout the day. The battery was manned by two companies of the 17th North Caro lina. under Major Hill, the ‘‘State (iiiards’’ and th? “John Harvey (iuards,” but only the former company was brought into immediate aation. as the guns were ranged rather too much up the chxnnel. The men fonghr with great coolntss and intrejiidity.” “The place was entirely undefensible, without the aid of a naval force strong euougli to copo with the Federal gunboats " “.\fter the fighting [on the second day,'] had coii tinued about an hour. Col. .\nderson sent (« .Major Law SOD for a reinforceineni .-)f three companies. lie chose Capt. Diclinson’H. Swan’s comp'iny under Lieut. Roy, and a company from the Hth North C.-trolina, commami ed by Lieut. Murchison, and placing hini-elf ut tiieir head, marched at doiihle quick to the battery. There the bullets fl'-w as thickly as one could well imagine them. but. waving his sword. Mi)jor Lawson called for three cheer*, and. with hearty shouts, these brave men rushed to their posts. Sever.al. however, fell in the at tempt— two killed, and some half-a-dozen wounded. The hill Nnrtli Carolina, under Col. .lordmi. and the 81st, were held in reserve far in the rear, out of tlo* reach of harm. Some of the men. I'.owever, like t'apt Whitson, entered the engagement on tlseir iiidi\iduai responsibility, and fought with the soldiers.” •‘tjol. Shaw was also under fire and disi'layed per sonal courage aud coolness. The only charge thai caii be made against him is that of ineflicieticv—and he makes no pretensiou.s to militioy genius " [Then wha: business had he there as I'olone!'] „ ^ ■•t'apt O .) Wise, as brav« ntiJ gallant a man as eve of oiir people have surrendered without a desperate ef breathed, consnuiijy eTposed liimselt to pro'ect his met; fort to cut their way through investing forces, whatever may have beep their numbers, and to endeavor to make a junetion with other divisions of the army. But in'the absence of that exact information which can only be attord(?d by official reports, it would be premature to pass judgment, aud my own is reserved, as I trust yours will be, until tliat infbrmatioii is received.’’ Now why should the President, without wniting tor official reports. [ronounce judgment on the Roanoke surrender as “deeply humiliating.” and withhold his judgment about Fort Donelson until he gets those offi cial reports' Two reasons occur to «s as moving the Pre''idetit to this different and unfair course. First, that even the. President is obliged to admit that the [‘re parations for defence at Roanoke Island were “imper fect, ' and therefore he attempts to throw ofl from the government, and upon the troops, the humiliation of that disaster. And second, that the troops at Fort Don- elsou were mainly from his own section of the country, and therefore are treated with forbearance, whilst those at Roanoke Is’and were from North Carolina, which has receive 1 aiiv thing but a fai^ Jegreo of consideration in Richmoud. whose atmosphere appears to have afl'ecteJ the !• xecutive ami Legislative departments injuriously towar j-J >orth Carolina. l.et i.H compare the me’’its of the two ati'airs -At Roanoke Island, there were but 1700 effective men. ; excluding (ireen's Bittalion. which arrived after trtil • ; tne i'uni tKe ittjeni' • -tv I (■e It neij. & c , Th>it the ('> iiitn -,-^in r» of tli> ti w ii if \\ i; 'iiiUiii stmli tiiivc p.nver in t 'lri' m itie ruer. uni •rei I.-If to CDiiip t le it alreuily in j.p iit erecii 'D , :>m> vmik r n\ rKj u(Kin or M ifie in..uth "i itiv ( «(>.• h'cHr Kiver, or Hrminii. w.ltun the 'Hiii nn\ii, wlixti th'V iimy ileem neie''aiy ..t :.e defeme tlierenl. arnl li.r the . ku puriHiise i.. |iurctM»e ' in •■■n.

" Certainly, he had no right to ask an appoiutmeni as Colonel, when he was utterly iucompeteut to perform 'he duties of the office. A man may make a fool of him Self if he pleases, uy undertaking as a private individ ual to do what he does not know how to do; but he has iM' right to take into his keeping or 800 men and the gieai interests of tlie oountry, iu a position about whioh he kuows nothing. Equally to biame are those who put him iu sucii a position The lives of the men aud Ihe safety of the country should not be periled by putting ignorant meu iu such commands. CoTTos.—Our readers will notice the fall of cotton in this market. Several things iiave caused it. First, «ome of the factories have alrtaiiy purchased nearly e- nough to supply th«m till the next crop, and quite as luiich as they consider it expedient or safe lu iiold. Next, capitalisti, who have been investing considerable nmounts in the article, are disappoiuted lu their liupe.- ot a Bpeedy removal of the blockade, and are scaicely inclined to risk more upon an article which, by even the barest possibility, may fall intotfie hands of an ene my who does not hesitate to steal it wherever tie can. rtiose planters who prefer to seil, would do well to idopt tiie Mississippi system, of selling by sample, re taining the cotiou on tiieir own premises, at ihe risk ol the purchaier, aud suojeol to his will. TiiE Forkign Nbws.—It is as well to reniind our rei.ders tiiat the news from Kngland published in our iat and generally reg.trded as so discouragiug, relates to a correspondence which took place between Lords liiissell and Lyons, and the former aud our Comniid- ^ioners, nearly a year ago—just before and after the' war began. While we have no reason to suppose that tliere has been any chauge in the seutiment of tlie i?iitish .Minister, his refu-^al to recognize the Confede- ate States is not nou'signified. It was done last May, itid it is brought to us now as news merely t>ecause the correspondence has been submitted to Parliament, w!'icii assembled on the tith iust. 1; is said that parties jn Parliament are very nearly i' meed ou the question of our immediate recognition. \ Ntvv Cabinet.—It is generally believed in Rich- 'iiond that President Davis is about to re-arrange hin Cabinet, as follows: — P Benjamin, of Lou., Secretary of St.'ite. • ■•ueral Lee, of the Army, Secretary of War. g. Gen. Oearge Randolph, of Virgiuia, Secretary of G. Memminger. of S. C. Secretary of Treasury. • . Henry, M. C., from Tenn , Postmaster General, tierschel V*. Johnson, of Georgia. .Attorney General. Mr, Henry was an old Whig, and possibly General i e vras also. Messrs Mallory, Regan and Brugg go out ■U STERFEITS.—A counterfeit ^BlUO Confederate trea- ■ y uote has been detected in Richmond, supposed to ■ of ;i b'lich printed off by some persons who broke 'I the engraver's office a few nights ago, from the i^ci.niue plates, which had been most iuexcusably left within rttach of tb« burglars. the figlit was over and only in titne to be surrenJered. : These were «Jailed by more tfian It.iO vessels with iheii- crews and between and 17.000 of the yankee •irmy. that number being admitted to have actually landed on the Island before the principal (I'rht occurre I. The yankeeis had therefore len to our vue .I'hey sur rounded our small army, which had no place to retreat i to. and were bilged either to die or surrender. •\t Fort Dv-nelson, we had 'S> regiments, numberinp, , according to the most relialile accounts. IS.OOti men ' The opposing yankee force was 52.•■HM), according to the best information received. There were. then, not quite * thrff yankees to our Confederate. If it be humiliating for uut to surrender to t’-n. Jinw much more humiliati? g ; for oue^o ^llrrende^ to Uft thmi Besides thi-:. Fort Donelson was a very strong place, amply jrovide 1 with ! cannon, with three sides on which th? defeated troop" — , if they had been defeated—could cut their way to a I place of sfitVfy: whil-it at Roanoke, according to Gen’l ' Wise, 'he fortH were worthle.'*'. improperly located, with I no tools tn make them better, and there was no place j of retreat. i Whilst thus defending the character of our North Ca- i rolina iroop». and exposing the absurd falsehoods about ] thtt unparallelea bravery of the Virginians and of their almost extinction by death and wounds, we cannot shut our ears to the very general cry. even of Col. Shaw's own officers and men, that he was utterly ynfit for the command, or for any command. His appointment was one of those unfortunate parti/ acts from which theCou- feder.icy has suffered so dreadfully. He was a village Doctor, a native of New Hampshire, who knew nothing about military matters, yet was placed by a party Gov ernor at the head of a regimeat of North Carolina State troo['sI Even if he showed personal courage at Roan oke Island.— which some say he did and others loudly say he did not,—he was unfit for such a command, since his men. fatniliar with the ugly stories about him which have abounded in the newspapers in the Eastern part of the State, could tiot have had that confidence in him which is essential to faithful and heroic service in battle. The conclusion to which we are led, by the lights new before us, is, that tJiere may have been one, and only one. North Carolinian that showed the white feather at Roanoke, though unfortunately he was the commander, and even as to him, we learn better from his officers. That the Virginians, with all their boastings, suflered less than the North f'arolinians, but ahead in Ihe n-treat. That the Island might have been, aud ought to have been, niale impregnable, but was not so made owing to shameful neglect of the government; but that it was not wisely or well defended even in proportion to its advantages. Whilst we consider the surrender of Fort Donelson and 13,000 men with arms in their hands, and after three lays of glorious and successful fighting, utterly indefensible. Since the above was in type, we have received some additional information, by mail and otherwise, which bears upon the subject of Roanoke Island. First, we learn that the company officers of the bth Regiment of State Troops, with the exception of one officer only, signed ami jiresented to’ol. Shaw a requc' hat he would resign. This was not founiled, we learn, upon any charge of cowardice, of which they acquit him, but of inefficiency. Second, we learn from the Raleigh Standard, (which replies to the article we have attributed to Gen. Wise.) that “the six North Carolina companies which were in the battle fonghi with as much courage as any portion of the Wise Legion, and that Capt. Liles’s company of .Anson, and Capt Knight’s company of Martin, nere the hut to retTeat. The W’ise Legion left before they did.” This is “carrying the war into Africa”—showing up the boastful Virginians, who slandered tlie Nonh Caro lina troops to cover their own defection. The Standard corrects the statement in the Wise ar ticle. that “but 4M) of the Wise Legiou ana two compa nies of North Carolina infantry got into the tight.’ There were (says the Standard) six companies of th North Carolina infantry in the fight—two from Col. Jor dan’s, two from Col. Martin s, and two froru Col. Sitaw regiment. The Standard adds, “The truth is, Col. Jordan's re gimerit at best was only half armed. They had flint and steel miisketd and shot guns, and on parade the locks of many of these would fall oft They were ten dercd in ihis> condition to Gen. Gatlin, and accepted but we learn that after Gen. G.itliu, on a strict exami nation, saw how poorly they were armed, he appealed to the Governor to furnish them with better arms, but the appeal was unavailing But it will be said iu reply that Gov. ('lark could not furnish them with better arms. The answer is, that after this regimenv had left. I aad, we believe, after it had reaoh«d Ro*nok« Iilaud. and finally fell mortally wounded.

Uu! they had fought bravely aud well for bouts before ’’ From these extr.-icts, which are j urely \ irginia au thority, it will be seen tiiat t.he \'irglnia charges ag.iinst North Cnroliiii'iLis are utterly false far from fail ing in cottragk', they did mrTe of fighting than wa« re quired ot them.

IS'il; soon after we went into camp to drill and ! recruit, at Union Academy, where by the liberality and ; generosity of the neighbors we were furuished with the necessaries of life and many of the comforts to which ^ the soldier is often a stranger. -After rem.iiuing at that I place about two weeks aud seeing that many who iiad 1 signed the list at first failed to come up to take the oath, it became necessary to recruit. It wa- accordingly agreed that we should go on a recruitinj; expedition, to ■Alfprdsville aud Red Springs, for which purpose we were kindly furnished tjy our friends iu thnt commu nity wiili wagons, teams and .Irivcrs. .At Alfordsville We met a large aud intelligent assembl ige of gentlemen au 1 ladies who manifested great interest in our success -\fter Several appropriate speeclies. acallfor voluntews w IS luadv, an t several were added to our raukx. and after doing ample justice to the sumptuous dinner pro vided b^ the holies and receiving boxes of provisions wiiich they had reserved for our journey, we parted with our -Vlfordsville friends to meet at Red Springs Ihe following day. The healtliy location, the invigorating properties of the water aud more than all the warm and hospitable reception given tis by the proprietor of Red Springs, H. .Mc-Neill, Esq , aud his laly. together wi;h tiie eiicouragemen’ we received, induced us to prolong our stay to four week'-, during which lime .Mr iSlcNeiil and his lady with others furnished u* with the means of living, displaying a liberality and kindness seldom met with these ‘•war times '’ During our st.ay our numbers were increased to H4 men. According to pre vious arrangements we dismissed the company a few days to meet again at LeI>unon the day fiefore our de parture for the “seat of war,” where we met many trieuds from the surrounding community, had a bounti- j till dinner provided for us, and spent a very pleasant I day. The .Ashpole Ladies' Soldiers Aid Society who I had been ililigently preparing tlie varioas articles of j clothing they supposed we would need, in the afternoon j opened their store of blankets, over coats, pants, socks, .\c , and distributed them among the company until all j were supplied with as many as t‘'ey could take care ot; I and 'iwas well tor us that we ha t friends who provided ; for us so liberally, or we would have been in a desti- | tute aud needy condition, as we did not receive a j “Stitch’ ot clothing from the State or ;iiiy ..ither source i until we tiad been iu service near three moiuhs.

There is nothing else of interest to add to our lust report. Flokiua.—A friend writes to us from the laud ol flowers, that the winter has been remarkably warm even for Florida—only a few cold days in December, and none in January or February. I’cach and plum rees, and the yello'.v jasmine, have heeu iu bluom iiice the middle of January. .A friend of the writers has had greeu peas all winter, and occasionally liish and sweet potatoes, the growth never having been stop ped. Money is scarce, and little or no cuirency. .A subscriber at Gainesville writes us ou the l->th February! The fanners in thi.« section expect to plant corn a- bundantly. The Yankees are near Cedar Keys; our troops have aliandoned ttie Island and come to in'iiii land to await their recepiion. Tiiis State having more seacoast than any other .State, needs more soluieri to defend it, &o. Fleetueps of foot, as exhibited iu the retrograde dou ble-quick of the Virginians at Roanoke, is not their only accomplishment. They, compare favorably with the ynnkees in other respects, as will be seen by ttie following: Yankee ut Fort Donehon.—“A thirty-two pound ball struck the flsg-staft' of the St Louis, carrying it away close 10 the ship’s deck. It had no sooner fallen than one of our brave men jumped hr fort th‘ nwiit-fi of a can non Just about to be jired, an 1. seizing the spar, j/l.ac d it in au uprigtit [lositioii. and coolly remained a mark for the enemy while he secured it to the ship's deck.’’ Virffihian at Koanoke.— ‘The R'chmon-I Blues were attacked by a whole legimeiit ot Zouaves, aud though completely overpowered, stood their ground bravely, nor-did they yiehl a foot until all th» commanil save tfi cn fell bleeding to the ground. ’ Chii.u’s First Catecuis.m.—We have received a copy of this little work, by “Luol.a,’’ (the wifo of the Rev Willis L. Miller, who is now a captain of North Caroli na Volunteers.) It is a very neatly printed pamphlet of 24 small pages, founded upon Brown’s Short {^ite- chism, in parts identical with that, but in other parts rendered much more simple, for the use of very young children. Tracts. —Mr. W. J. W. Crowder, General Tract Agent at Raleigh, states that the agency iu that city has “published since June last over five millions of puges of tracts, over half of which we have giveu away, mostly to the soldiers, and the other we sold at about the cost of getting them out, 1,600 pages for one dollar. We are striving to supply our whoie army with these gospel truths. There is increasing evidence that thi means of grace is being blessed of God to the great .spiritual good of many of our soldiers. Each dollar given Will send out l.oOO pages, which will be carried, through the great kindness ofthe E.xpresa Company, to the soldiers without cljarge We can now prim K0.Ut)0 tracts in a day.

We iiope to receive liberal orders and donations for these publications, so greatly needed and ■ought for bj our neble defenders.” 7'he Ltraft in ftuiiiord Courttf/.—'I'he draft of ttie (j7th Regimeut of Guilford militia was held on Saturday last, by Col J. R. G. Faucett and staff; and much honor is due old Guilford for the manner in which she ac- I quitted herself ou that occasion. Every company in | the regiment was offered as a volunteer company to fill j up the draft, and the Colonel then ordered the draft to I be made for two-Hiir'ls to stay at tiome. It was ascer- I tained that a fraction over :'.oO was all that could be re- I ceived, and before the scale coulil be adopted to select ' that uiunber—the gallant sons of Guilford could not i think of being drafted to remain at home when their j State K'IS invaded—and over UMJ volunteered for tiie war. This left about 2t>t' men to be dratted—over .TiO of whom have since enlisted tor the war. Tiiis is a \ plain and uncolored statement of facts, and we wait to j see whether the parti-an leaders and presses, who have \ ever slandered and misrepresented this county, will find time or m-kgnanimity enough to notice this bold stand by the “Mass ichuseits of North Carolina.’’ 145 men will leave Greensboro’ on Wednesday the •')th inst , under the following officers: (.'apt D.

Can a true hearted soldier, when on his lonely watches by night, help his thoughts from w.anderiug hoineward and can he help contemplating with emotions of the greatest gratitude the labors of those self-denying patriotic ones who so nobly have cared for his wants?
