--The Raleigh (N. C.) Standard, of July 20, says: ‘
"We have begged that the volunteers of North Carolina now being enrolled, and who are equipping and drilling, will not disband.
We are quite sure that the authorities will not disband them, for the reason that before the 20th of August it will be seen, if we do not mistake, that they will all be needed.
Lincoln's forces must be checked in
Virginia.
They must never be allowed to invade
North Carolina through
Virginia; therefore
North Carolina must render
Virginia and
President Davis all the aid in her power." Nobody who saw the splendid regiment which marched in
Richmond yesterday could doubt that the Old North State was doing all she could.
It was the 4th Regiment of State Troops, 1,100 strong, under
Col. Anderson, splendidly armed and equipped, each individual in it looking every inch a hero.
They went into camp near
Howard's Grove.
With such soldiers, we are all safe.
