"Things are Progressing." --The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, in an editorial upon the events of the day, says: As soon as Virginia and North Carolina are actually members of the Confederacy, they will be ready to show that they are live members. Things are progressing, if not with telegraphic speed, at least as fast as they can be expected to get along, and before Lincoln is ready to march his men in buckram, as programmed by the New York Tribune and Herald, we rather think that his heroes will find the Potomac, the Rappahannock, the James river, and Roanoke, to resemble Jordan in the important particular of being "a hard road to travel."

We have for months called attention to the importance of constructing earthworks on the York and James rivers. It has been begun, but it cannot be pushed forward too energetically. We repeat, there is any quantity of negro labor which might be usefully employed in this business.
