Hanover County, Va., ) r July 29, 1861. J Under this name it proposed to get up a regiment of ten companies of 100 men each, inoluding officers, making 1,000 men. - We are to wear citi sens' elothes and to use such arms as we can furnish ourselves. A pair of Coifs pistols, a.howie knife and a double barrel gun, with a Minnie ball or a good rifle ; to pledge ourselves to serve during the war wherever the President may choose to place us; to serve without pay. The main object of this organization is to avenge 'the death of General Robert S. Garnett, of Virginia, and Colonel Charles F. Fisher, of Nort Carolina. Those who wish to form such a regiment, will sig nify their assent by writing to . me at the above post office and when we have 500 men we will report our selves for duty, and go on increasing the number until Mt amounts to 1,000. The design is, that the number shall always be kept up by new enlistments whenever vacancies occur by death or inability, and no other cause shall release a man from his obligation. . I will act as private, or in any capacity the regiment may direct When our number reaches 500, we will request the President to appoint a Colonel of his ewn selection, and muster us into service at Richmond I will advertise the time of meeting there as soon as I receive the names of 500 men.

THE VARIOUS STYLES OF UNIFORMS THE DRESS OF A SOLDIER. Now that the war has become s serious, prac tical business of hard fighting, exposure, lone marches and bivouacking, the equipment and clothing of our soldiers should be regulated with more regard to durability and sorvlcoableness than has heretofore been observed. The New Orleans Delta indulges in the following excellent and apposite remarks on the subjret of uniforms : It is quite obvious ihat a too great regard has been given by us to parade and the gratification of personal vanity in the styles of our uniforms. We nave tnoughi too much of the appearance of our soldiers on the streets and in public pi aces , and perhaps have thu3 led oar young men to in- dulge a vanity, which whilst innocuous lh peace times, would be very inappropriate and Impru dent in the seriou8 exigencies of the present fierce war. We dress our soldiers too snowiiy and flashily. Their red caps and pants, and their richly embroidered gold coats, may delight un reflecting young girls and children, but they are far less pleasing to sober, thoughtful people, who consider how little such ornamental styles contri bute to mil itary efficiency how, indeed, they may impede the action and expose the live of our gallant soldiers. Far more impressive and en couraging is the sturdy aspect of those dusky columns of gray linsny-woolsey-clad warriors, in heavy brogues, that nock to the scene Of war from North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. JNot that they are more devoted, bravo or gallant than our troops, but their style of equipment looks more Iika real, practical war, and is far bettor adapted to its demands than the shining, glossy and brilliant costumes of red cape and pants. In battle these caps and pants will expose our troops to the enemy in almost any position. They will be seen afar off, and the enemy will always find them a target for his artillery and his long range Mimes. His own experience on this subject should be a lesson to ue. The Fire Zouaves of New York, who had red caps, and the Brooklyn 14th, who wore red pants, of whom there are many prisoners in our nanus, complain mat throughout the battle of the 21st July they were always the principal objects of the enemy's bat teries and volleys, and that thus they were far more exposed and guttered more than tne otner troops. JHo wonder we had to run," said one, 'when these cursed red breecnes drew upon us tne whole fire of the Cbnfeds." Now,- whilst oar boys will always be ready to take more than their share of the dangers of the battles that may be fought, and will never ask any other protection but their strong arms and brave hearts, we do not thins it wise or pontic that they should bear the whole bmnt of the battles, merely to gratify a taste for showy uni forms and enable them to make a grand display on parade. Off, then, with the red caps and red pants. Better right bare-headed ana in their drawers, than ini those glaring red 'caps and breeches. Let our boys go in to fight and to slay in the most effective manner, and give up display Until the war is over, ana tney'Bnau soon come home with their trophies te lay them St the ' feet of their lady toves. Let them wear dark.gray .dus ky uniforms, which will enable them to get as close up to the foe as the linsey-woolsey Alabama boys at Manassas, who were not seen by the enemy until they had got within eighty yard4 of them. Our battles are to be won by close lighting and the enemy, withrhis long range guns, will have to be enticed hear to enable our soldiers to grap ple him. ' Red caps snd red pants won't draw, him. He will prefor to take them at long taw. Besides the red caps and psats, the blue uni forms in extensive use are objectionable, as they cannot be distinguished from the enemy's. The uniforms of our State troops, Gladden's and. Ful ler's Regiments, is identical with that of the enemy- At the battle of Manassas a great number of our men were killed by our 'own troops, who mistook them for the enemy on account of the uniforms. Wheat's Battalion, especially, suffer ed from this cause. We trust that this subject will receive, the early attention of those who are charged with tho equipment and uniforming of bur State troops. RESOURCES OF NQBTH CAROLINA We commend to our readers .the perusal of ibe "Geological Report on the Midland Counties of North Carolina," made to ibe Assembly oHhat State in 1856, by Prof. Emmons. This volume will supply large deficiencies in the popular know ledge, with regard to the physical and material resources of North Carolina We reviewed the Work, in terms of high commendation, mere than two years ago. The present junctors,' however, suggests to os the propriety of farther recalling-the attention of -our public to the resources et our elder sister resources to be made available fn the future, as well in war as ia peace. Though con fined simply to the midland oountiesj-wklon a two years' survey has failed to cover, we are astound ed at the developments of natural wealth la North Carolina. The coal-fields are ample for all the South j the mining interests are of incalculable extent. ' The suriferous ores are of wonderful richness. The silver lead mines are not surpassed in value by tbose'of any country, and yield sine, lead, cooper, silver; and gold. To th geologist, th study of this volume will provs eminently in teresting, not only as embodying th geologica 1 history of North Carolina, but as suggestive of new facts, somewhat calculated to disturb old and settled convictions. For example, Professor Em moas tells as that the fact ie igard to-the coal fields of Deep River do not sustain the prevalent belief ; that workable coal-seams belong to the posh termed the carboniferous nor that coal ts the product of a peculiar vegetation, which is also geological belief. He teUs us, also, that th dis covery of fossils in Montgomery county Carries back the evidence of HfeaponAhe globe ton much more remote peri id thenes the totaal beliafc even among geologists. So ancient sreHhe evidences that Ue excellent Professor indicates -a claim for North Carolina as the birthplace of the oldest in habitants of the glob.
