We learn that some of 'the speculators around town are of the impression that the public would be benefitted by the suppression of this paper. Don't doubt but they think so. All felons think the laws very tyranical and op pressive and those who administer the laws great villians. Very natural. We w ould ad IS3 these Shylocls, as they arc so interested for the public welfare and as they think the suppression of. this paper necessary for the good of the people, to form themselves into a committe for the purpose of suppressing it ' Let them attempt it and single-handed we will meet their legions, and if ve don't suppress some of them we'll forfeit our liberty for a year to come. Men equally as good as they are have mobbed printing offices in the North be cause their editors dared tell the truth why should they not do the same here ? Men who peculate on starving humanity are all coward?, and of course it is to be supposed that they would favor mobs. The Progress will be continued as usual and citizens who are leaving. !. a season can have it sent to their temporary residences by leav ing their names at the ofDce with the advance subscription.. ILesigskd kok Mokk Active Service. At a meeting of the Athens Guards held at theOas ton House on Wednesday night, Col. J. V. Jordan formally resigned the captaincy of the company for the purpose of entering imme diately into active service at the head of his regiment. The Col. urged m a feeling manner upon the corps to keep up their organization and ex pressed his astonishment and regret at seeing the members so careless and dillalory in their attendance upon drills, particularly when our very heartstones are threatened by the enemy of our country. He also assured them that, in his future career, he should keep the good of his country constantly before his eyes, but ;is to- the merits of his future services, they must be judged of by his acts as he posssessed no powers of oratory by which to portray events and successes Inch have not vet trans pired. The Lieutenants of ihc company all declined tin; captaincy and it was agreed to hold a meet ing on next Wednesday night for the election of a captain ud fur the trauaetioii of other bus iness. Among the strange things that are daily ta king place rz the one, that out cf 7'J men rank and file of ths compuny, supposed to be com posed of the best material in town, only a do zen to lifted! can be induced to attend the drills ! We suppopc on Wednesday night the com pany will have its last kick and die for good ; we hope so. As it now exists it is of no earth ly use and if disbanded some of the members night go into active service. THE CITY OF WILMINGTON, N. C. We have very little doubt that Wilmington N. C. will be troubled by the flotilla which is now secretly fitting out by the Yankees for the Southern coast. It behooves the authori ties of that State, therefore, and the people of Wilmington and the surrounding wouutry, to look well to their security. It is a point of importance enough to attract the particular at tention of the enemy, and it cannot be too strongly and vigilantly guarded. Our own impression is, that it has been the point selec ted by the Yankees for their next occupancy. At all events, there will be nothing lost by the amplest possible preparations to repel an at tempt to capture it. There are other ways of approaching it besides the river. Pet. Ex press. This may be so, Wilmington may be in per il, but we can't help thinking that Newbern and Beaufort are in the greatest danger of an attack. But let the Yankees strike where they will they will meet a determined resistance. Their way to success at Wilmington, Beaufort, or Newbern, will be over the dead bodies of thousands'; of brave men. Let them come if they dare. Ladies a ke Patriots. What ever may be said of the men of Newbern, the ladies are true patriots, many of them having determined to remain in the town and give their attention to the sick and wounded too, in case we should ever have any, let the consequences be what they may. The praiseworthy examplu set by many of them, whose names we only suppress through respect for their modesty is worthy of tho highest admiration. The amount of work they have done gratuitously, and donations they have and are still making should, as we have no doubt it does, win for them a strong hold upon the affections of their countrymen. We understand from Mr. Eubank that one lady recently gave him a hundred yards of bead ticking and another yesterday morning gave him 25 blankets and 30 pair of socks to go into the general fund of supplies for the volunteers of North Carolina. By calling at the new hospital on Hancock street near Rev. Mr. Suy dam's store you can very readily perceive the happy affects of an gelic visits upon the sick indeed, we rather think we'd get sick on purpose l we were a soldier just for the comfort the association would afford us. By the way, Rev. Mr. Suy- dira T3 worthy of favorable consideration for the liberality he has displayed in furnishing this building and assisting so extensively in its present comfertable outfit. BROUGHT Til em UP. A boat arrived here yes terday from Hyde county with G Bankers from the Hatteras Banks, who, report says, are among the number who have recently taken the oath to support Lincoln's Government. They came over to Middleton,lIyde county, under -a whith flag to buy corn for the Federal garrison at Hatteras as they claim, but instead of letting them have the corn, Major mil of the 7th Regiment, who is in command of the Confederate troops in Ilyde, thought it best to arrest them as spies and trai tor?;, which he did and sent them here under a military suad ; where they have been furnished rooms t.m.r the- large brick building on Craven .treet to await further hearing. r The Prince de Join ville came "a passenger from Europe ?hy the steamer Africa, at New Tort. ,. By Uie tlail. The following is all the telegraphic columns of the Virginia papers contained, received last night : Mobile, Sept 24. A column of Tennessee troops have possession of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad within forty miles of Louis ville. They have also taken possession of a?! rolling stock, including locomotives. The rail road bridge across Salt River, near Elizabeth town, has been burned. The troops are pos ted at Moldrough's Hill, where Kentuckians are rallying in large numbers to unite with them. Mobile, Sept. 24. The Mobile Tribune pub lishes a letter from a Tennessee Congressman, dated Murfreesboro', Sept. 20th, stating that no matter what the Legislature or the promi nent politicans of Kentucky may say and do, we have reliable information that a large ma jority of the bone and sinew and fighting ma terial of the State are heart ana soul with tue South. Wilmington, N. C, Sept. 24. A suspicious baik has been off our coast for several da3s. She captured, on Sunday, 20 miles North of this point, the corn schooner Mary. A. Pender, which was returning home from Charleston witli 7o casks of lime for Fort Macon. The crew escaped in boats and arrived here on yes terday. Two pilots, it is believed, were de coyed on board of the bark. Richmond, Sept. 24. A lady who arrived here to-day reports that the Baltimore Ex change, South and Republican have been sup pressed, and that the Sun soon will be. The I'eabody Institute is fitting up as a pri son for secession ladies. The Central train brought down this evening forty more Yankee prisoners. There is nothing of interest from the camps. The Examiner of this morning estimates that a long Cabinet session was held yesterday on the subject of pushing the war beyond the Confedcry. It says that the Cabinet are divi ded, some members preferring ordering the ar my into winter quarters ; and others in favor of an onward movement. Richmond Sept. 24. A well informed gen- i tleman here, recently from New Yoik, gives it as his decided opinion, from facts and commu nications well understood in interested circles there, that the Yankee proprietors of large in terests in Brunswick, Ga., have induced Lin coln to fit out a large and expensive expedi tion, with about 20,000 men, to take posses sion of that place and establish a Navy Yard there and open the port for shipment of cotton, naval stores and live oak. Sagacious men in this city thii.k that there is much reason to believe this, as the Federal Government is almost wholly controlled by schemers and speculators. SIZURrToF BACON AND LEATHER. We understand that in compliance with the Proclamation of the Governor, a large quantity of Bacon and Leather, en route for Virginia, and the property of speculators, was seized at the Depot of the North Carolina Rail Koad in this city on Wednesday. We hear ,also, that a quantity of Bacon bought on speculation, and destined for a point out of tho State, has been seized at High Point. Speaking of speculators, we are constrained to say that glaring attempts at monopolizing the ar ticle of Bacon have been made in this quarter. One concern, composed of two individuals not engaged in mercantilu business and paying no merchant's license, have bought a large quantity of Bacon at Id cents or less per pound, and ave selling it at 25 cents. Now we, are willing to see any man make a reasonable profit on his invest ments, but we do contend that a profit of 7 cents a pound on Bacon is most unreasonable and ex tortionate. This is no time for taking selfish ad vantages of the necessities of the country. In stead ot doing so, men should he content "to live and let live." Resisler. For the Progress : Sw-anssboku, N. C , Sept. 23d 18G1. Dear Progress . To day. in sight of my house near bogue inlet, a small schooner was seen ma king its way to this bar or seeming to do so ; but before her intention was made manifest, a steam er overhauled it and fired twice, and I suppose at her ; but whether sunk or taken I cannot say, In a short time afterwards the steamer made her way in the direction, (us well as I could make it out.) of Capo Look Out. Respectively, D. A. HUMPHREY. Aktii.i.KUY Houses. A writer in the New bern Progrcs proposes to the citiaens of Craven county and that suction, that they furnish horses, by donation, for Capt.

The Wilmington Journal of Wednesday has the following: It would appear that our incredulity carried us too far yesterday inasmuch as it led us to doubt the correctness of the reported capture of a Schooner off Topsail Inlet. We have re ceived the fullest confirmation from Captain Keough of the captured Schooner, which was called the Mary A. Pender, of Edenton, N. C, a North County corn vessel which had been to Georgetown and Charleston with a cargo, and was returning empty with the exception of some seventy rive barrels of lime. Captain Keough lelt Charleston on Tbursday night, passed Frying Pan Shoals on Sunday morning at one o'clock ; about daylight, and when some 13 or 20 miles south ot New Top sail Inlet, saw a barque about two points on the lee bow and about a mile distant put on all sail and hauled on the wind. The barque did the same and fired a gun across the bow of the schooner. At intervals she fired five rounds of two guns each, and chased the schooner till half past nine o'clock on Sunday morning, about this time the schooner was close in to land and about half a mile southwest of N. Topsail In let, the barque two to two and a half miles astern. The schooner tacked and stood for the inlet, when the wind suddenly hauled to N. E. rendering it impossiblv for her to enter whereupon the schooner was anchored and the captain and crew, with most of their goods chattels, came ashore in their yawl. About tho lime they got ashore the vandals had m idc sail on the Pender, and fired a salute in honor of their victory. Captain Keough expresses his gratitude to Mr. Nixon and other gentleman on the Sound for their very kind assistance and generous hospitality. The Schooner, owned principally we believe by the Captain, might be worth some two thousand dollars. It is evident that there is a Yankee armed vessel, barque rigged, whether a privateer or in the direct employment ofLincoln we hard I v know, browsing along our coasts, making false signals to decoy off pilots, and committing an manner of felonies and other misdeeds, and this is fully confirmed by our corespondence from the camps. Our pilots and others cannot be too cautious in answering signals of distress or any other signals when they do not know the parties. Had this barque been a friend, she could have easily sent a boat ashore, and at any rate a boat-load of her men would have been some pledge for the return of ours. The same barque is said to have been off Camp Wyatt this morning, bobbing around for more corn vessels. Laborers. A number of the citizens of the town and county have sent their hands to the icorls, yet more help is needed and those who have hands are appealed to to send them to Col. Singeltary immediately. We are satisfied that most of our people, the rich as well as the poor, are disposed to do their duty when that duty is pointed out to them. Fortunately for us the number who are inactive and indifferent is small. Send in tile bands at once. The stock of tobacco on hand in Petersburg is now very great, and still is sent forward by the planters in large quan'titits by every train. The warehouses are becoming crowded to their utmost extent. . " THE SITUATION IN WESTERN VIRGIN IA. Though the greatest anxiety is felt for news from Western Virginia, our mail facilities are so imperfect and deranged that we get but little intelligence from that region. Our latest ad vices bring us the important news that the enemy had crossed over the Gauley river, with a view, as was supposed, of giving battle, and an encasement was momentarily expected. The Lynchburg Republican has the following letter from the editor, on the situation of affairs in that section : Top of Bro Sewell Mottxtain, ) Sept. 10, 1801. We are encamped upon the summit of this mountain one of the highest of those giant ranges which so distinctly mark the geography oi this section of Virginia. Our brigade, to gether with the 13th North Carolina and 14th Georgia Regiments, occupy the plateau, while the white tents of the Wise Legion dot the Eastern slope of the mountain, about one mile distant. Thts spot is a lovely one. The moun tain breezes are fresh and pure, while on every hand, and to the full limit of the human vision, is presented a prospect of natural scenery more beautiful and imposing than the poet's pen or the painter's pencil can delineate. In the clear bright morning, the dense fog hanging in silvery-white folds along the far-distant hills and valleys, give beautiful variety to the ex tending landscape, while in the evening the full glories of a golden sunset converts the whole scene into one of transcendent loveliness. Nor is this scene less ravishing when night draws its curtains around us, and the silvery moon, rolling its brilliant orb above the distant hori zon, and riding in quiet splendour along the clear blue sky, lends a mellow tinge to sur rounding nature. But this is the most that can be said in behalf of this mountain pass, except that, naturally, it presents strong de fences against the approaches of an enemy. Few people inhabit its slopes and projecting ridges, and but few line farms dot the val leys below. The consequence is that all kinds of provis ions for man and beast are exceedingly scarce, and we suffer for the want of such supplies. But I do not think we shall remain here long. The enemy is crossing Gauley in large num bers at Gauley Bridge and Carnefax Fcrvy, be low us, and at Hughes' Ferry, above us their purpose doubtless, being to attack us both in our front and rear. This movement will prob ably necessitate our falling back fifteen miles farther to Meadow Blull', beyond which point the enemy cannot Hank us. If they light us at either place we shall whip thern, unless their numbers double ours. We have now the addition of Colonel Clark's North Carolina, and Col. Ector's Georgia Regi ments, two as fine bodies of men, and com manded by as brave and efficient officers as are in the service. They are greatly chagrined at not being able to reach us in time for our fiht at Gauley, and when the tug of another battle comes, they will not dishonour their gallant States, whose sons they are, or the glorious cause they represent upon the Colonels both fought through field. These the Mexican wounded six war, the former having been times. The movement of Roscncranz, the other day, in getting away from Lee and Luring, and pre cipitating his forces upon us, was a brilliant one, and shows that officer to be far superior to an' of his masters. He no doubt expected, however, to wipe us out at a single brush, and return to his headquarters Hushed with easy vie ory; but in this he was sadly disappointed, and will Lave to take back with him a Ilea iu his ear, which will tickle anything but li;s vanity. 1 have rtad the Northern telegraph account of our battle with Rosencvanz. it represents that we had five thousand men and sixteen pieces of artillery, when the truth is we only had seventeen hundred and fifty men and six pieces of artillery, four pieces of which only were actively in the fightall tho time. These were of the Guy Battery, from Goochland county, and were managed with great bravery and cousumate skill. The same accounts state the loss of the enemy to have been about one hundred and twenty, in killed and wounded, when the truth is, that wc have from a dozen uilfercnt sources from their own men and friends that it was not less than from GOO to 000. Indeed, reliable men, who have passed through their camp, put it down at a much higher figure. Certain it is, that, if .they lost but the number stated by them, they must have been consumate cowards to permit them selves to be driven back four times, with their guns silenced. They state further that they silenced two of our guns, and that our loss must have been very heavy. The truth is, they never touched one of our guns, and only two of their shots touched our earthworks. They never killed a man and only wounded seven. This they must have known before they sent ottt their lying telegraph, because there was not a grave or a drop of blood to be found inside of our lines. They frankly ad mit that our fire upon them was perfectly "ter rific." and it certainly was. They admit that Col. Lytcll, in his charge upon our guns with his Irish Regiment, was shot from his horse and his men repulsed. They admit also, that Col. Lowe was killed in another charge, and that, finally Col. McCook, with his German Brigade, was repulsed. This is all so, and shows not only that our fire was "terrific," but that their loss was equally "terrific," or they, the greatest cowards that ever trod a step to the sound of martial music. On Wednesday and Thursday last, Rosen cranz built new boats and threw some 5,000 of his men across to this side of Gauley, his pur pose, doubtless, being to form a junction with Gen. Cox's forces, w hich will come up fifteen miles from Gauley bridge. This will give him a column of about ten thousand men, with which to march upon us at this point. About four thousand of this number are now encamp cd at "Aldcrson s, twelve miles distant, and the smoke from their camp fires is plainly visi ble from our tents this ovening. For the short time I have been in the ser vice, I have seen much of the article w"e call war, in all its degrees of sunshine and of shad ow. I have seen the sick and the wounded, the dead and the dying. I have seen our brave men marching along almost impassable roads, and soaked by the most drenching rains. I have seen them sometif.TS hungry and thirsty, and compelled to lie down at night upon the naked earth for their beds and a single blanket for their covering. All these things and more arc the necessary concomitants of war, and never fail to touch the sympathies of the hu man heart. But that sight which has touched me most, and which makes the blood of our soldiers burn hottest, is that of the helpless families of women and children who have been compelled to flee past us to escape the vandal ism of the scoundrels who are so wickedly in vading our soil. These helpless people are compelled to bundle up what little of their chatties the' can carry with them on horses or in their hands, and leaving their comfort able homes and property to the savage depre dations of the eneui-, flee to the rear of our lines for safety. It is too bad, but I trust the day is not far distant when we shall be able to carry all these evils of this unholy war to the homes and firesides of those who have so sin fully provoked its horrors. I had designed giving you some of the inci dents of tho late battle, and a sketch of camp life, but our movements are so hurried just now, and my means of writing so imperfect, that I r m compelled to defer them to a more conve nient season. R. H. G. j P. S. Just as I close this letter, orders are ! issued to our forces to fall back to Meadow Bluff, distant fifteen miles. This is to prevent the enemy from getting in our rear, and to give him battle with all his force in frout. You need not be supprised, therefore, to hear of another engagement in this quarter in a few days. The enemy outnumbers us heavily, but our men are in good spirits, and with a glorious cause to nerve our arms, and a smiling provi daiice to give us the victory, we do not fear. ' Abraham, IScliold Tliy Work. . The following is from the Richmond Ecatni nn' of Wednesday : One of those affecting incidents occurred at the dcpaiture of the-Yankee prisoners tor New Orieans. that, whether ccmxnv.r ;r it icncs cv A your. toes, must m'.Ts t ne stoniest heart lady, of Northern birth, who has been for some time a resident in this State, and, having a lu crative occupation, preferred to remain here after the war broke out, descovercd, by some means, that her brother was amongst the pris oners in this city. She had made several inef fectual applications and attempts to see him. Owing to the necessity of military law in such a case, her most urgent requests had been re fused. For some weeks the poor girl had been too unwell to leave her home but was recover ing, and sitting at her window just as the pris oners passed by, on their way to the depot An impression seized her that her brother was amongst them, though a separation of several years and the difference of dress and circumstances rendered recognition diffi cult A misgiving, however one of those impulses of the heart that are not to be stifled caused her to start to her fleet, and, hastily throwing on her shawl and bonnet, she sum moned a friend and hurried to the depot. There the guard was so watchful and the line so strict that she was unable to approach with in ten yards ; but, with straining eyes and anxious love, did the poor girl endeavor to scrutinize each probable form, until a mutual gaze met hers, and revealed the object of her search. Her brother recognized her. Dart ing forward, but repulsed by the guard, each precious moment thrcatning to sever them per haps, forever, who can judge the agony of the poor stricken sister! Some of the bystanders, becomeing interested in the scene, uesea tneir iniluence to permit a mess age to be conveyd to the prisoner. "Oh ! is there anything I can do for him, anything he wants?" she exclaimed. But the wanjsof the prisoner were few. With loss of liberty, what else could avail him ? " Take him this," said she, "it is all I have in the world." And she handed a small, a very small packet. So they passed to tho prisoner a few dollar bills, with some" small change, not knowing whether the poor boy would ever find any need for it, or an opportunity of spend ing it. Soon the cars were ready. Open cars with seats arranged upon them, and a boarding round the edge for security. He took his seat with the rest, in full view -of his sobbing sister, and the cars began to sloly move. With an irresistible impulse sue darted forward. Sympathy governed stronger crowd who were watching the than law the departure : an opening was made trirougii the guard, and sue reached his hand. One grasp, so firm so tight, was fastened upon the hand that she was drawn along the track, as the quickening mo tion of the engine was bearing her long absent brother yet further from her presence, and not until. her arm was well nigh strained from her bod', and the poor prisoner, as he leaned himself towards her, was in danger of being dragged from the car. could that long, loving grasp be loosened. If Lincoln and -his war advisers could but have witnessed this heart-rending scene, and did they but reflect that thousand and ten thousands of their countrymen and ours are daily puff-ring sorrows such as these, and even worse bereavement--, mu.-t they not pat::;..; and question the fanaticism that is now urging them on, and that incongruous " philanthropy" which they are straining as an excuse for fight ing r Things wr.

CIRCULAR. J- The General Commanding has the satisfac tion of announcing to the Troops under his command, that arrangements have been made for their payment as soon as the Muster and Pay Rolls can be made out. The necessary blanks are herewith transmitted for that pur pose. The Company Commanders will avail them selves of the best clerical talents at their com mand and will have their rolls made out cor rectly and neatly. The "Printed Notes" will be corefully studied and complied with. The Regulations require that " one Muster Roll," and three "Muster and Pay Rolls" be made out. The former to be sent to the Ad jutant General's Office, and two of the latter to be given to the Paymaster and the third to be retained in the company. The "Muster Rolls" will be forwarded through these Head Quarters. These Rolls will embrace the period from the date of the "Muster into service" to the 31st of August, 18G1 ; consequently, persons who have joined the company since that date will not be borne on these Rolls. Under the head of "Last Paid" write Pay due from enlist ment for State Troops, Pay due f rum enrollment for Volunteers. These troops that were not mustered into service previous to the 31st Au gust, 18(31, cannot draw pay until after the next Periodical Muster, which will take place on the 31st October, 1SC1. The Commanders of the Posts, Stations, Camps, &c, on the 31st August last, will have to sign these Rolls as Inspector and Mustering officer. By order of GEN. GATLIN. R. II. Riddxck, Ass't Ad ft Gen.

Mr. Edito-r : Perhaps at this particular pe riod of our country's history, it may be inop portune to controvert any views respecting the welfare ot our soldiers, yet, having recently seen a communication in your paper over the signature of one W. W. Gaither, filled with seeming insinuations, if not asscrtio, against the kindness and sympathy of the ladies of Carteret county, justice to them requires that it should be noticed. I will not say that the writer above alluded to is peculiarly gifted with the talent for mak ing an appeal to the sympathies of ladies. But I will say that he seems entirely forgetful of the fact, that while the Regiment spoken of was here, every lady in the- place vud with each other in ministering to the wants of the sick, and some of them were especially untir ing in their efforts, both night and day. I need j not mention the names of Mrs. Dixon, Mrs. i Baber, Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Dennis, Mrs. Granger, Mrs. Dukes, Mrs. Arendcll, and many others, (the three latter made hospitals of their residences) whom Dr. McLean fre quently spoke of in terms of commendation, as they done all for the sick that reasonable men could expect. I need not mention, too, that some of these very ladies went up to, and are still at, the hospital at Carolina City, doing all that can be done, yet W. W. G. says "no hand but the rough one of a brother soldier is there." True, there are many sick, but I've just gladly f learned that there are only 4 or 5 cases of fe j ver, the complaints being mumps and measles in a light form. ' As to the angel ministrations of woman j around a sick bed, there are few men who have ! not cause to remember with gratitude their ! kind elforts and happy iniluence. But unfor ' tunateiy the ladies whose efforts in aid of the i sick soldiers hereabouts, arc past the time of wlicn the "eye is filled with lire,1 when the cheek wears the rose's tinge, and the brow is of alabaster polish ; hence perhaps thisisthecau.se of their untiring efforts not being appreciated by the soldiers from the "Hills," and their sentimental scribv, Mr. G. With regard "to the extravagant prices paid by the surgeons for chickens," &c, prices here may appear extravagant to persons from a re gion where chickens are often sold from G to 10 cents each, eggs, 4 to o cents per dozen, butter, 12? to IS cents per pound, and milk for the taking. Yet I do know that while thc2Gth iXegunent was here, cuicxcns, eggs, rice, xe were obtained lor tne sick "without money and v without price," and fair hands made the si and gruels. One thing more, Mr. Editor, and I've done: Queer as it may seem, 'tis a pet idea of many of the soldiers who come here, that thc-y come from their distant homes "to defend and pro tect the homes and honor of the ladies" of this region ; wc were disposed to award to them even a larger Held of merit, i.e. that of being patriots, whose avowed elforts were (when they "doncd a uniform and grasped a weapon,") to aid in defending our whole country ; though perhaps in this we are mistaken, and 'tis only tiie ladies for whom they are gallant soldiers. But let me ask, do such mn know that hun dreds of mothers and sisters in this county have sons and brothers who are far away from their homes, .and now know no home but the "tented battle-field?" Aye, more, some of "whom, perhaps, have seen and met the enemy," and have witnessed in their inarch to victory, "war's desolation" in its wildest fury, redder than blood, fiercer than fire, on every side. I will only add that from the very beginning, the ladies of Carteret coun ty have done, and arc still doing, their duty, Heavi u i . ess itiem ours. JUSTICE.
