Lincoln's privateers. The London Standard aptly characterizes all the private armed vessels that Lincoln is employing to enforce his blockade, as "privateers. " This is excellent. They are privateers, and no such blockade, the Standard says, will be regarded! Now, the whole U. S. Navy can only turn out about thirty vessels,Lincoln is employing to enforce his blockade, as "privateers. " This is excellent. They are privateers, and no such blockade, the Standard says, will be regarded! Now, the whole U. S. Navy can only turn out about thirty vessels, and all the rest are privateers. Moreover, according to Lincoln's late proclamation, privateering is piracy, to be punished with death, and there fore the British cruisers, as well as our own authorities, will be justified in hanging these fine fellows wherever we catch them. le U.

Not a spy. --Mr. Chas. H. Haswell, of N. Y., a few days ago was arrested as a spy at Harper's Ferry, but has been released. The News says he declines to give any information as to the position of affairs there, and thus vindicates his assurance to the Virginia officers that he was not there as a spy. He speaks in warm terms of the kind treatment he received from the Virginia officers while under arrest.

ied. A worthy member of the Hornet's Nest Rifles fell a victim to pneumonia last Saturday. This is the only death that has taken place in the camp. Col. D. H. Hill resigned his first election, but has since been re-elected by a large majority. Every North Carolinian will be proud to hear that this distinguished officer bstituted by others better drilled, in order that the regiment may enter active service immediately. This is a wise movement, and took place at the suggestion of Col. Hill, who has not a superior as an officer in North Carolina. To the original formation and composition of the First Regiment may be attributed the cause of Col. HilCol. Hill's resignation.--He seems to be satisfied with the regiment now, and is doing all he can to prepare them for active service. He says we will be ready for the "fray" in a few days, and, if he can have any influence, will have us at the seat of war in the shortest possible time. The Legislature adjourned Monday (13th) sine die

A few days ago a member of the Rocky Mt.Light Infantry shot his Captain, (Lewis,) with intent to kill, but was fortunately prevented by one of his comrades, who, on seeing him in the act of shooting, knocked his pistol down, causing the ball to take effect in the thigh, making a serious but not fatal flesh wound. The would-be murderer has been tried by military law but the verdict is yet a secret. There is no known cause for his unnatural conduct. He is a man of family and seems very much mortified.

This is a wise movement, and took place at the suggestion of Col. Hill, who has not a superior as an officer in North Carolina. To the original formation and composition of the First Regiment may be attributed the cause of Col. Hill's resignation.--He seems to be satisfied with the rill authorizing the Governor to call out 10,000 volunteers, and the bill remodeling the old military laws, which have done more to cramp the warlike spirit in North Carolina than everything else, and the bill calling the Convention as early as possible, were all indispensable. There are now 12 companies, numbering upwards of

e Legislature has made a very happy and accommodating provision for the voters belonging to the companies now in the Fair Grounds and elsewhere, by passing a special act giving to each qualified voter the opportunity of voting for the representatives of his own county. Yesterday (14th) the companies composing the 1st Regiment re-enlisted for six months, and took the oath of allegiance to the State.--The State also furnished us with arms yesterday. They are the U. S. musket, made at Springfield, taken from the Arsenal at Fayetteville. They are said to be very effective. The First Regiment was to-day entirely changed — some companies taken out, and their places substituted by others better drilled, in order that the regiment may enter active service immediately. This is a wise movement, and took place at the suggestion of Col. Hill, who has not a superior as an officer in North Carolina.
