ON SLANRER. Slander is that cooduct, which injuri- | ously lessens or destroys wbother’s repula- tion, Ta most cases, wotds are made the vehicle of slander, &e. Iu writing ob this subject, the reader thay regard it as plagarism, whigh to a certain exteut, L adinit, for I am oothing, nor bave nothing, tbat 1 can claim as my own; all is borrowed or given without inert. But what I bave seen, heard, aod felt ; I Pberty to tell iv the spirit of for- bearance, Liat with the dlessing of God it mayndo food. God and all good men, have abhored God said to Israel of old, Thou shail not go up and dowa as a tale evil spexkiny. bearer; thou shalt pot raise a false report. David said be would cut off the man who slandered his neghbur privily. But one and avuther will say, Tsay nothing but what is true? another will say, if I am cailed on, ibe truth will bave to come. How many rumors are afluat about this aud that ose. We may tell the trath and yet be guilty of evil speaking: for it is hard to tell a tale just as we beard it, and equally hard to make a tate, aod always teli it precersely the same way, and we may say al times and io pinces what we should nat say, and thus our neighbor is Wjured —loved to the estimation of the hearer. Public rumor eays so and so, and away it flies! Such a one knows a good deal about it (70 ubsecre character) but for prodeat‘al reusoos says that that one knows a leap about the case but when called on, the infurmation given are very unsatwfactury. Some penvos perpetrate this iniquity with direct malicious design : ree ea a meddiwg dispositive, ansatisiicd unless interfer:ng in the céo- ceras of others ; aud some from a wish to be thought extensively acquatoted with private history. The Gret of these perbaps enjoyed the confidence of ins petghbor wheo in process of time a trade was proposed, which was on certain conditions accepted, when the liable to censure as a slanderer of yout brother. You may profess to bave menvt. no barm by the remarks ; and if you did say 80 and so, it was when in cobversation with his enemies !7 and that you meant vo barm by it; and that you regret it; asd such aud such! but that only makes your Case WOr8e BS the slanderous report thus honeyed is more readily believed. But often the report is so plausible that you think it is impossible, but what is true (is this the object of both parties,) but in Most cases there is no real trath in it: aud wheo properly sounded, (without re- ligious prejudige) not even the appearance of truth, Then, beware of the slanderer ; | lest in tura you full wader bis lash, dnd lihen as he apoke of others he wifl speak of ' vou. \ Believe Dot all you hear; nor tell all you know. Beware to whom you speak, ‘what you say, when and where. Brother, 'eister, ab} tell it notin Gath! publish it ‘notin Askelou. A wife too!! why are ye | 80 ready to believe evil reports other than good ones ! And inark it brethren as a truth; that 1 we hate those we injure, and love those we benefit; and seld if ever, do we hate cue uulers we have first injured him in thought, word or deed. Hence, the sinner hates God, heoause he wisties to in- jore his cause. The elauderer hates those they defame. A lying tongue bateth those that are afflicted by it; and the Bible says, and it is an awful truth, whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer! The slanderer does not pray for his brother, and perhaps not for himself! Such are sin eaters, They eat up, saith the prophet, the sin of my people, and set their heart upon their ini- quty and bave left off to take heed to the Lord. once read the remerk of a good man, when writing ou the subject of slan— der, “Thatthe ove that would raise or | circulate a slanderous report to lower bis neighbor, should be hung by the tongue; and he that would listen to sych reports, with applause, should be beng by the ears.” The evils of slander are both personal and public to a greater extent than most men are aware of. Then, slanderer, beware of whom you speak evil. A Friend of Humanity. 2H North Carolina Presbyterian please copy. . From the Correspondent of the Richmond Dispsteh.

Thgy crossed the Rap- pabaunock—ah, fatal crossing to then —and essay to carry the heights. But Jackson was on te rivht, Leng- street protected the left, and Lee wus in the centre, The result was as might have been readily foreseen {by every man of common sense.— The Federal army suffered a signal repuise. The corpses of their dead and the bodies of their mangled and | groaning dying ones covered the area io trontofouar lines at the Stone- wall andon the lower ing. end of the! Dattle-fHeld vear Hagiiltou’s Crossing whilst the yood old rown of Freder- | icksburg became for the nonce a) dead hospital and a charnel house. The Federal canse, for the first time | in the war, sutfered a most humilia- ting defeat. The hopes of conquest their vaunted boustings were turned into wailings over their great calamity. Many have criticised Gen. Lee very freely for not pushing the enemy on Sat- urday night.

[thus never, Ithink, been wentioned in print, batit is never theless a fact, that a comceil of war was held on Saturday wytt. Jack: son urged a midnight attack, but was overrnled in edanel by Long- staeet aud Gen. Lee, and mast say I think it well for def €iuse and for Jackson’s fame that was overrnled; fur unless we could have had some unerring badge or matk upon our men, all the hofrors of aenight at- tack night hafe resulted without any corresponding benefit; and as for a day attaek upon the eaemy’s lines, it wee an imporsibiity, or rather it wald have been certain destructionto our troops to have ad- vanced oser the plataa in front of the river, which was readily and thoroughiy swept by the enemy’s batteries on the Stafford beights.— My coaclusion is, that the hest in- derson and McLaws in tront mean- the nature of the couutry throagh which be passed would allow, An- time carrying on heavy skirmiching with the enemy, wha were busily fortifying, expecting ue to assault them in front. About five o’clock in the evening the foar of Jackson’s gins announced that the flank move- inent was accomplished, and that line of skirmishers. A few moments more and another desperate onset of the enemy’s force is made: The stone wall is carried and the “star- spangled banner” waves in trinmph. over the enemy’s much-coverted achievement, and our forces retire. Meantime a bloody drama has been enacted at Chancellorsville. The resujt of which isthat Hooker has ler superceded Burnside on the 27th “forced the rebels” to fight, and he tereste of the country were served | Stonewail was again thundering in; ; has retired.” Just as Gen.

The proposition was the vecasivo ef much excitement, yester day, among parties interested, who argued, that although the Yankee Government had suspended the writ of habeus corpus wt had only been for the arrest of disloyal persons, and that it had never gone so far as the Senator from Mississippi, who pro posed to cut off redress in tha courts eu the questions of coniract obligation. Phere is an evident: tendency in Con gress lo carry oul a certain programme of executive consolidation and usurpation, through the ageney of suet men as the Senator from Mississippi, who rates as one of the toost superticial de Mayeyues in Cou gress.

The Fayetteville Observer copies and endorses it except in one point, that suggesting the appoimtment of the Commissioners by Congress.— The Observer savs : “The pomt upon which we dissent from the Democrat's proposition ie, that rusicead of any member from North or South Car- vlina or Georgia moving in the matter, we Usink it would de proper that the Presi- dent should du su, anc that be should ap- point the Commssioners, with the concur- renee of the Senate, instead of Congress appoinhog them.” On reflection we are satisfied that we were wrony in this respect, and that the Observer is right—the com- missioners should be appointed by the President with the concurrence of the Senate, they being the only treaty making powers recognized by the Constitution, Peace can be secured only by the action of otr National authorities. Movemente for that purpose by a State Convention woald involve us indeeper trouble and might lead to vecivil war among ourselves. For vostunce, a State Convention could vot sceure peace tor the people of North Carolina alone—it would be disgracetul and traitorous to attempt such athing, and the wan who would propose a wicked scheme of that kind ought to be looked upon and treated as ou Cangerous enemy to peace here at home.

States to the Isie de Vache, has nt terly failed, and that the Colony planted in that place under their auspices 18 on the very verge of rn- in. An agent of the Government, who was sent there by the Secretary of the Interior to inquire into the, affairs of the concern, has just re- turned, and reports that the colony is well nigh starved to death, and that nnless the Government send a steamer to return them to the Uni- ted States very soon, not one of them will be lett alive. It appears that the parties upon whom Seward con- ferred this profitable job bave been treating the colonists with the most shocking barbarity, and that noth- ing is more common with the local agents of these model philanthropists than to administer public flaggella tions ana long continement in the stocks. While this has been going on, and in face of the fact that the administration of the colony have offered to sell it, with the poor dev- ils left alive upon it, as its “ stock,” , for the sum of $15,000, they have been constantly bedevilling the Sec- retary for the sum of §S0,00U as charges for transporting and main- taining them. It was these demands send out an agent to inspect, and his report is that Mr. Usher will not pay &@ cent. . The agent, moreover, reports that all the original statements of the company were false. That the Isl and, which was represented as au varthly paradise, bearing two crops a year, is a barren sandbank, capa- ble only of growing wild woods and prickly pear. The negroes, siuking under their misfortunes, are dying rapidly, while those which survive are begging to come back to the U. States to enter the armies of the country. Thus ends Seward’s Afri- can Utopia, and we fear that unless a little wholesome direction be im- parted to its finish, it may wind up in a wholesome horror. There is the greater reason to fear this, as the inanagers of the concern lave re- threatening, unless relieved, to sell the whole thing out. Gentlemen who have been sound- ing the Committee on Finance say, very knowingly, that we are to be taxed to our hearts’ content, and and there is talk of making the tax yayable in funds at specie valuation. Pat the end is not yet; for the com- mittee have to decide on a bill, re- port it to the House, where it will be fully discussed, and then sent to the Senate for further discussion. The new laws onthe subject of the finances need not be looked for under a month from this time.— > trol of a clique of capitalists Those who have a right to speak confidently of the matter, say that facts have come to light which show , that General Bragy’s Kentucky cam- 'paign, for which he was so much blamed, was managed entirely by daily orders from Richmond. What disposition is to be made of him and Pemberion we have not heard.— Richmond Correspondence of the Columbus (Georgia,) Sun. Another Lobbery.—We learn that ‘week before last, two men went to the house ef W. D. Byram, in Un- | ion county, and robed him of $1200 in Confederate money and $70 in gold. «They went to Mr. Byram’s honse after night and called tg him to open the door; on being admit- ted they demanded his woney, and in order to get it, sinashed a trank, to pieces and took the amount men- tioned above, which was all Mr. By- ram had. The persons who committed this robbery, and- others. of .a similar character recently, are supposéd to be either deserters or skulkers who are evading military service. Ifen- rolling officers and ilitia officers were a little more vigilant, they might get a large number of recruits for the army and rid certain neigh- borhoods of a lazy, worthless and dangerous class of men. Every man within the conscript age, either iv town or country, should be murade to show the reason why he is not in the army. No good citizea ought to ubject to producing his exemption papers, or giving satisfactory evi- dence that he is exempted. Western Democrat. STRAGGLING CAVALRY. The Hendersonville Times says: Western Carolina, is full of strag- gling cavaly. You can scarcely look in any direction withoufseeing cav- alry straggling along from almost every command in Wheeler’s corps. There is enough cavalry in Western Carolina to make a respectable brig- ade. They have already commenc- ed committing depredations on the citizens, by stealing horses, robbing | tanneries We. Now the people of Western Carolina have already done a noble part in carrying on the war. They, have given freely and, bled freely, they are still willing to vive -of their substance army, but it is too unbearable to be thus ruthlessly robbed of their prop- , erty by a band of stragglers who seldom do any fighting. These strag- glers ought to be caught up—every’ one of them, and placed in a camp of direction, or vastly better, they should be put to duty with the “Home Guards” | until itis convenient to send them | under guard to their respective com- mands. A great many of them, we have reason to believe, have forged passes, orders, furloughs, &e., which they use snecessfully to evade the guards. The interests of the service nud the interests of the community requires that this matter shonld re- ceive the immediate attention of the proper authorities. Citizens can be of vast use in giving information of, if not actually engaying in the arrest of stragglers of which they justly complain. | The fact, that Dr. A. Y. P. Garnett’s house in Washington City, rents for $2,800, while ; under the confiscation law it sold for only $3,500, shows that the Yankees do not con- sider the investment in confiscated property as being a permanent one. to support the! what would be amtner. | The True Soldier by Birth.—My , observation, has often. led me to re | mark amongst men.that those whose j birth might reasonably have made ‘them fastidious ander hardship and | toil, have generally borne their mis- feries without a murmur; whilst | those whose previous life, one would | have thought, might have better prepare them for the toils of war, have been the first to cry out and complain of their hard fate. Cheering.—The people of Texas are represented to be wide awake, and flocking by thousands to the standards of Gens. Magruder and Bee.

It is worse than idle to slop short of efforts involving all our sireagth apd energies. Our resources must all be brought out. ‘The enemy, flusbed whith hope, is this day busy marshaling and distributing bis armies. He is getting bis forces in posi- tion to move at the first opening of whe campaig®. Lincolu is prepariag to fall upon us from all sides at once. eade is in Culpeper. under Meiler. Wilmington and Charles ton are to be strongly assailed. Grant is to come upon us frou the mountaius.— West Virgiuia also isto be the basis of au “advance. . All these moveuwuls are organizing, and the mea aud materials are being placed in position. Couniless - sleaivers are ploughing thy waters, hurrying to aud tro, and busy with the wark of wouving imen and. muaitions and supplies. The middle of January 1s now passed, and but two morg moons will fill their horns be- fore the suag of the blue bird will tell the arrival of spring. It will mot be many weeks before the war is on foot again. Can we meet this enemy, that comes agaiust us full of the blagkest designs, aud boasting as did the Philistines in the vailey of Elah?, We can. We can con- front him and overthrow him, aad, by the blessing of God, we will! We have, in- deed, uv bupe but in victory, aud every- thing fo dread from tulure. Our ene- tmies are actuated by the spirit of the ra- pacious robber and the malignant despot combined. If defeated, we shall be strip- ped of all our comforts, and we shall be bound with chains such as make Poland groan in agony of soul. We sball be penniless slaves. We have, therefore, ev- ery motive to make the bravest fight that ever the world has seea rather than yield the struggle; to eclipse all the records of fortitude and heroism which other ages and countries have bequeathed to the hu- mtan race, as examples and inspiration to the manly and the tree! Leonidas and his Spartans shall net be braver or roore devoted thay we! Bat while we must be roused as one man, and energized as a giaut by the rob- beries, the tortares and the ecbains which vur enemies proclaim as their purpose to clank in our ears, thank Heaven we are uot reduced to the necessity of taking gounsel from mere fury and desperation. We are fall able to fight this, our deadly and istolerable foe. For three years we . have withstood his fiercest onsets, and we can do it sull. But bis oew etiorts will uemand new energies on our part, aud call upon us to show that no zeal for. our | destruction can surpass or equal our re- solute purpose to defend our liberties and our bomes with our iast breath svoner iaan yield them. For the fight that is before us, this is - the precious hour for preparation. The -aeiy are hastering to the field, they are deploying for the battle. What are we doing? There is but one answer to the ruestivn, what should we be dung? We svould be collecting every resoitce and sumiponing every «nergy of the country, and placing them at the disposal of Gov- ernuent.

The older citizeus of the Confederacy remember, and the younger have read of in History, the famous, or rather infamous, Coavention which met in Hartford, Con- necticut, near the close of the war of 1812-15, the object of which was to dis- solve the then existing Union. bonists were tired of the war, in which, with everything (hat the Guvernment does, | cause they are allowed only five prices for | There are | a many points of resemblance to the pro- | #!!Y member of it, and are therefore posed Convention which the Raleigh Stan- |) é dard is endeavoring to yet up in this Siate. | Tend it except only as we may thre- First and foremost the Hartford Conven- | by the way, they had taken less part in | Bravch,” 1617, , saps of one of ‘its nent la f he Torm a fair estimate of political character, he would purchase, at au immense price, were it possible, the erasure fromthe tab- lets of history of the part he has acted in this political drama.” So the day will come when the Standard would purchase, were it possible, the erasure, from the tab- legts. of histery of its ctivrts to get up a | Coavention for a similar purpose in North my ; others, fearing that Congress will ; Carolion, | Iteannot be that the people of North Caroliaa ate prepared to violate their sol- emu obligations to their brethren of the South.

The State would never regain the repect of the world or of itself and besides, the condi- tion of the people for all time would be that of utter degradation and rair. It si idle and worse Unan idle to suppose that. North Caroliua can maintain a conditien of sovereiyuty, separate from her sister States. Sie must be a member of the Confederacy, eutitied to all the rights and privileges of sueb a free State, or she must be a subjugated Lincoln colouy, doomed to bear all he horrible oppressious which history shows are the fate of all subjugated people: aod for what these are, we again refer our reader to the pictures faithfully sketched by the Richmond Examiner, which we have copied in the last and pres- ent issues of the Observer.

A prodigious deal of apprehension seems to be felt lest the country ; and all their anticipat- ed evil has been laid at the door of the Administration. ministration that wanted everybody forced into the army; the Adminis- tration that wanted habeas corpus suspended ; the Administration that wanted a Military Dictaton &. &e.

We regret that the Commandant of the prison at this place, Captain Galloway, has conceived it to be his duty to place under arrest Capt. J. P. Breer, the Quartermaster at this post—the same gentleman to whom we alluded in onr last, as a remarkable specimen of a Confeder- ate officer. The difficulty, as we learn, originated in the failure of Capt. Bri.cer to provide a pest house for small pox cases in the Gar- rison. The disease is spreading, con- trary to expectation. The Surgeon / has made no requisition for a pest | house out-side the prison walls. | Dispatches have been sent to Head ' Quarters, at Richmund, annoanciftg | the arrest, and the whole matter will doubtless be investigated.

He was yet young, very rich, and was surroanded by every- thing that coald. give enjoyment to life—except a wife. He had fre- quently thought ef becoming a hus- band, but always declared off before the knot was tied. Once, however, he found himeelt very nearly committing the folly of matrimony. A young person, the daughter of one of his friends, pleas- ed him; her fortune pleased him, uot less, perhaps, thau her beanty and accomplishments, aod there were other reasons of convenience, ctc., to justify the union. The Count, } who had frequently made the first step towards matrimuny, but as fre- quently drawn back, had pot. yet decided, upon the course he should adopt in this case; he had promised the friends of the lady repeatedly, but he had made no sign of perforin- ance. [lis future mother, however, knowing his weakness in. this re- spect, resolved to bring matters toa termination, and therefore demand- ed of the Count whether he wont!d or would not marry her daughter, and requested an immediate reply. The Count fonnd himself in great embarrassment, At this moment his fears aid hesitation returned with more force than ever—he trem- led at the consequences. To give up his cherished habits of bachelor- hood, he found was hard; it was al- most impossible to abandon them. In this emergency he resolved to appeal to chance. He wrote two :etters ; In the one he accepted the | hand of the young lady, in the othor he refused it. He then put them into a hat and called his servant. * Take one of these letters,” said he, “and carry it to the Chateau de .” “Which, sir?” “ Which you please.” The sorvant chose a letter. without opening it. A distance of ten leagnes separated the two cha- teans. The domestic must be absent | twenty-four hours; twenty-four hours must elapse before the Count knew his fate. His situation is anything but agreeable ; he knows not during ' twenty-four hours whether he is a married man or a single one—whe- | ther he has still the power to dispose of himself, or whether he is already | disposed of. The domestic return- ed; he had carried the letter of ac- ceptation, and M. de M is even at this time, the happiest husband in this part of the country.

INSURRECTION AMONG THE NEGRO TROOPS IN MISSISSIPPI. The following is the version of the emeute in Warrea county, Miss, between the begro truops and Yankees, a brief avcoant of which has been received by telegragh. The Mo- bile Tribune says; “We learn from a gentleman who arrived yesterday morning from the border of the Mississippi, and for whose veracity we can vouch, (iat a serious insurreetion occurred sume time last week among some portior of the negtu troups near Vieksburg. Our in- forinant says that a Colonel of an African regi- meat, while drilling it, found one of the men obstinate, and, taking his musket from him, used soine harsh lang The negro re- cat insoleatly, and the commander killed This excited the anger of the rest of the regiment, and they rushed un the whites and ¢laughtered several of them. They also charged a battery, touk possession of it and turned it un the whites, A eourier was imn- mediately dispatched to Vicksburg: for rein- foreements. Two brigades were sent, on 3 double quick, to the scene of action. They charged and retook the battery frum the ne- rues, aod turning the guns on them maitaged, by grape and canister, ty ball aud wound be- tweeu tour and five hundred. We alsu learn that uearly all of the negro suldiers bave been seut up the Mississippi, to what point our in- termanct dil not know. Three of them, be- longing to the brother-in-law of our infor- ‘nant, came back ty their owner's plantauon | Atler the sila, begging to be pardoned and ahaa to be faitaful They had. escaped rom the inassacre. Our inforinant heard the reports of the guns aod the sereains of the inassacred negroes.” An Important [ecision.—The first decision that we have heard of under the new law of Congress consenbing the principals, who had hired substitutes, was made by Judge French, | at Lumberton. on Friday last, in a case of habeas corpus from Moore county. The im- portance of the question induces ur to lose | bv ume in laying the opinion before our rend- era Tt affirms the constitutionality of the law, and remands the applicant to the cnsto- dy of the Enrolling Officer, It appears to be | sustained by the analagons decisions of the highest Courts of this State and the United | States. — Auy.

FRANKLIN ON PRAYER While tke ‘inportant question of the representation of the States in tag Seuate was the subject of de- bate in the Convention tbat framed the Federal Constitation, and the States were almost equally divided apon it, Dr. Franklin «moved that, prayers should be attended in the Couvention every morning, and in support of the mution thus addressed the President: Mr. President—The small pro- gress we have made after four or tive weeks of close attendance and continual reasuniongs with each other, our different sentiinents on almost every question, several of them pro- ducing as many nocs and ayes, is, | methinks a melancholy proof of the imperfection of the human under- sanding. We indeed seem to feel | our own want of political wisdom ence we have bcen running all about in search of it. We have gone back to ancient latory tor models of government, and examived the differeut forins of those republica, which, having been originally formed with the seeds of tneir dissolution, pow no longer exist; and we have viewed modern States all around Europe, but none of their constitutions suitable to our circum- stances. In this situation of this as- sembly, groping as it were in the dark to find political trath, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happen- ed, sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of bumbly applying to , the Father of Lights to illnminate | our understandings? In the begin- | ning of the contest with great Britain | when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in the room tor divine protection! Our prayers, sir, were heard and they were gra- | ciously answered. All of us who! were engaged in the stroggle, aust have observed frequent instances of | a superintending Providence in our | favor. To that kind of Providence | we owe this happy opportunity of; cousulting in peace ou the means of ! establisling eur future national feli- | city. And have we now forgotten that | powerful Friend Or do we imagine | we no longer need His assistance? i have lived, sir, a long time! and | the longer I live the more convine- | ing proofs I see of this truth, that!

To this of course tac Standard has not ventured to reply, for it ts not easy to conceive of mere thau two kinds of secession, via: peaceable secession, aod secession with war as a cousequence.— Tue cotton States, as is well known, always contended Tor the right of peaceable secession; sad we think the Standard will bardly pre- | -ead that a went for’ the other sort of seves- sun But we intend to comply with our corres- pondent’s request, by showiay that the Stan- vard did maintain “the mght of secession,” without any qualificauoy about the cotton States or auythiay vise. And what is very -cmarkable, it maintained tuis doctrine for | vieven years, viz: from 1850 to 1k61—how | oiuch earlier than 1850 we are not at present prepared to say. It isynot ws habit to stick iy any one thing long, but this doctrine of secession appears to have beer an exception —persisted in for at least elever years, long caough, as we have said, te “ educate, the people” in it. * In the Standard of December 4th, 1850, is a long editorial article on the appoiatment of 4 joint select eommittee on Federal Relations by the Legislature. Our readers will remem- theagreat straggle of that year iu relation to ¢ Game Buinber Of tho Standard quoted | the following language of Mr. Jefferson, “as containing the true doctrine oa the subjec,” 8o it said; © Are we, then, to stand to our arms?

Revolution vobody denies the right of, when evils becoine intolerable.

The animal, after a - good run through the forest, arcived ata point where the country, gradually risigg, leads to a long range of lofty rocks terminating abruptly, and tor- Iniuy a steep precipice. The stag tollowed the edge of the line of rocky for some distance, bat at length tind- ing itseif closely pressed, suddeuly turned and plungéd headlong over the precipice, followed by eight of the doys. The stag and four of the dogs were killed ou the spot; a fifth of the latter were serioasly hurt, while three others uuraculousl y es- gaped. A singular accident attend- ed with sull more deplorable cir- cumstances, occurred at the same spot a few years back. At the foot of the rocks were several small cot- tages, surrounded by gardens, in one of which avoung girl, who was just recovering from a severe i]lness was Walking, wicu a stay with a dozen dogs fell into the yvarden al- most at the teetot theinvalid. The Tright caused by the descent of this living avalanche brought on a ner: yous aud a relapse, winch was tol- towed by periodical epileptic tits.— Au action tor damage was b:ought Dy the parents against the masters of the lunt, and these last were con- demfied to pay the expenses of the second illness, and to make her a yearly pension for life. A New Method of Divorce.—lu Beirve they have a novel method of dealing with matrimonial disputants. Divorces are freely granted, but first the applicants must go through the tollowing test: A small room was prepared i: which husband and wife were put, the door being then closed, to re- main so for six weeks, except it should’ be putin motion at the ur- gent request of the wedded pair.— There was in the room one stool, one plate, one spoon, a unity of al! the requisites, and a solitary bed was of such dimensions that if they choose to use it togetuer they must needs lie very close. Of one thing, an: only one, there was a duplicate ; and that litte treatise on the duties of husbands and wives towards each other. No visitor was permitted to go near them, and they had only a glimpse at intervals of the grit tace of the jailor, as he pushed their tood through an hole in the door. [t i- stated that the test was attended with the most wholesome results. In most cases the parties were excel- lent friends in a tew days, aud very few could stand out for more than a fortnight. Another very gratifying Circuinstance Was that they tad scarcely on record a cause in whic! a second application was made by persons who had already gone turo the GLE ee Igo Burne. - oe Moses Sinecker and the heirs-at-law of Geo. . ‘da Miricker, dece n¢ +e a} e tl ae asge An a ~pe ch recen J address d to IN this ease. it appearing tothe saustsetion a jury inthe Court of Common I ‘leas | othe Coart thao Muses Siceb id the in the city of New York, Mr. Mee] eis a law of Genwe orie (ESE.

The mode of application re- commended is: “Half an boar be- fore the expected paroxyein, @ dvan- daye wet with the turpentine, is ap- plied around the body at the lower part of the chest, the linen replaced and the outside clothes buttoned.— If convenient, the patient should be placed in blanketa. When there is 4 probability of the return of the paroxysm on the seventh or’ four- teenth day, the application shuuld be repeated. THE MISSING BUTTON. Sir Walter Scott tells the follw- iug ancedote of bimeelf: “There was a boy in my class at school! who always stood atthe top; nor could I with all my efforts sup- plant him. Day passed after day and still he kept his piace, do what I would ; till at length 1 observed that when a question was asked him he always fambled with his fingers ata particalor batton in the lower part of his waistcoat. To remove it, therefore, became expedent in my eyes; and io an evil moment it was removed with a knife. Great was may anxiety to know the success of my measnre, and it sacceeded too well. When the boy was again questioned, his fingers again sought for the button, Lut-it was not to befoand. In his distress he looked down for it: it was to be seen no more than to be felt. He stood confounded and I took pos- seesion of his place ; ner did he ever recover it, or ever, I believe, suns- pect who was the author of his wrong. \ Often in after-life has the sight of | him smote me as | passed by him, and often have I resolved to make him some reparation; bat it end- ed in good regolutions. Though 1) never renewed my acquaintance with him 1 often saw him, for he filled some inferior office in one of burglary. Nie that city, was meyed by compagsion for the seu, ied to the, judge fur a re- spite; he was informed, that ou av- cvunt of the cruelty ‘attending the rubbery, capital panishuent must be J ed. His Jurdsnip recon mended their hatwane imtercessur to use the Only tueulis which could vow be available tu >the culprits, ip thet by Christian instruc “for the awlul change which awaita them. ip thw couree of lis benevolent visits tw this gloomy abode, he questioned the prmduers how they had been Jed frou the path of -bonesty. tv euumuit such crime. luauewer tu these ing uirics, vue of the avhappy men declared that bis firetstep tu rain was, takin a half penny ont of bis mother’s pocket while she was asleep. From this sin he was led, by small but | fatal progress, to the crime tor which | he was sv sevon to suffer a siameful death. YANKEE MEN AND MONEY. The New York World sums up Litcotn’s various ¢alls fur troops siuce the war be gan, as follows :— April.15, 1861, ¢ 75,000 May 4, 4861, 64,748 From July to Dec., 1861, 500,000 July 1, 1862, 300,000 Augast 4, 1862, 300,000 Draft, summer 1863, 300,000 February 1, 1864, 500,000 Total, 2,039,748 This is a larger uuinber than we had supposed. If the comparative handiul of Confederate soldiers lave been able to whip the 1,539,748, who cau doubt their ability to dispose of the 500,000 now call- ed for —provided they should come at the call, which ix nore chau doubtful ? Bat the World adds another encouray ing view. It suis up the various luans and issues of greenbacks, aud ~iows the indebtedness of the Yankee government to be $8,774,912,800. Nearly four thou- sand millions of dollars! This is a yan- kee statement. It is true that this deb: is expected to supply the incans to carry on the war to the end of this fiscal vear, but that is only 44 months off; and the debt is pat down at that stupendous sum on the Ist of July 1864. But that is, not all. The States, the counties, and the the conrts of law at Edinburg. Poor fellow; he took to early drinking, and I believe he is dead. A stranger from the couutry, ob- | serving av ordinary roller-raile on the table, took i¢ up, and ou inquir | Ing its use, was answered. “‘It isa rale fer counting- houses.” Too wali! bred, as he construed politeness, to | ask unnecessary quesitions, le tur- | néd it over and over, and up aud! down repeatedly, and at last, in a} paroxysm of baffled curiosity, in- | quired. “How in the name of won- | der do you count houses with this?” | The Poor Boy and the Wallet. —| A lad was proceeding to his uncle; to petition him for aid for a sick vsis- ter and her children, when he fonn |] a wallet containing fifty Joilare.— The aid was refused, and the dis tressed family was pinched for want. ‘Lhe boy revealed the fortune tu iis mother, but expressed a doubt about using any portion of the moncey.— His mother confirmed the doubt, aud they resolved not use it. The pock- et- book was advertised, and the owa- er was found. Being a man of wealth, upon learning the histury ot the family, be presented the fifty dollars to tne sick mother, and took the boy into bis service. In the course of years the boy become a suc- cessful merchant! Honesty always brings its reward to the mind, if not the pocket. The Government bas established a horse infirmaay for broken down stock in the army. tio logated in Laurence ceuuty, Georgia, twelve iniles from Oconee Station, on the. Ceutral Railroad. Three thousand , acres of land are emploved for the purpose; the stables are adapted to peculiar diseases; fifty negroes and eight white men are emploced and two professional veterinary surg ons Thirty cases of glanders, heretofore, | supposed to have been fatal, have veen cured in these hospitals, and ot the whole number of broken down | iiorses who would have died in the field, 85 per cent, have been saved. A similar institution sboald exist in every sacs the Confederacy. "I SO I _ which will be kept di-tinet and separate. towms, all over the North, are involved in in something like the same praportion.— A few Confederate victories this Spring ‘ will puncture the yankee bubble, and the “universal yaukee nation” will vanish like the parts of a child's soap bubble.--/uy.

Mfr.

Has Congress power to violate its own ontract ? The power of Congress is lnted by a itt, Constitution. Tt bas ro power ex- t whatis conferred by that instrument, coy pressed or imphed: indeed, it is excluded ; for the power to make contracts, for Instance, “to bowtow money en the credit of the Cor- power to nuygatory, No Govern- can have power lo violate its own con- | tract exorpt under the rule, “might makes ight The power to violate its own con- taet, or in other words, the right of * repa- diavioa,” has never been chimed by the Qon- tederate States, and Thad snpposed it was conceded by all, that it did not have the pow- er, Bat Tan asked, “cannot the Confeder- ate States, ina case of extreme necessity, violate its own contract—not with reference 10 morals, but to the sapreme power of the Grovernmeni, and has the Governmentof the less, and tf less, how much less power thau other Governments in acase ob extreme neoessily So The other Governments referred to, have no written Constitution, and may act on the | Conlederate State, State is Kie supreme law” but the Confed- | This Consti- The Constitution being | written, can peither bend or strete h, even in } a case of extreme pecessity.

And it will be remeinbered that substitution is hota new thing; itis prominent, and ta- ken to be a matter of course in all prior leg- islauon, both in’ this country and in Eug- land. Where “the militia” is looked on asa mode of defense in cases of invasion or re- belfton, and where conscription was made to take the place of the militia. organization, as 4 inatter of course it was accompanied by us prominent feature. Mr, Kittrell, on the argument, treated the subject in a different liguc He assumed sub- } stitution to be a contraet, but insisted Con- gress had no power to make that particular sort of contract, ou the ground, that it would be “ political sutcide;” for, said be, * if Con- gress bas power to deprive the conntry by ts coutract of the services of 100U of its citi- { zens, it may extend it to 100,000 and 500,- 000, and so we wonld have no citizen sol- diers!!" Whether it would amount to “po- hitical suicide” to have @ condition of things in which 500,000 Irshmen and Germans | would be in the army, to fight our eneuiy, while a corresponding number of citizens were at home raising food and clothing, and paying taxes to support this arniy, is a ques- tion, into which a court is not at hberty to enter. I will observe that this mode of rea- soning, by supposing extreme cases, is not apt to lead to truth, and is very apt to cover fallacy, (as it manifestly does in this instance) for, allow that in the extreme case put, it would be political suicide, does it prove a want of power, or an abuse of power? That's the question. If Congress has the power, whether it will so exercise it, as to commit suicide, or to stultify itself is a matter with which the courts have no concern, and a pro- per respect for a co-ordinate branch ot the Government forbids the judiciary from mak- ing an extreme supposition, in order to ex- press a conjecture, bow far a power, may be so abused) as to avoid it, and require the courts to say it shall not be exercised, under that head of jurisdigtion, by which tle courts, prevent mad-meror idiots from injnr- ig themselves or ‘* wagting their substance.” Congress has pow the credit of the Confederate States. It has, (I believe,) borrowed fifteen millions, and pledged the export duty on cotton, it had pow- er to do so, as 8 means Decessary and proper to enable it to borrow the money. Ran out Uhis reasoning, by supposing extreme cases: | Congress borrows 150 :millious more, and pledges the export daty on tebacco ; it then borrows 150 Uillions and pledges all export and import duties, and all money that may be raised by direct taxation; this might be politcal suicide or stultitication, and after the money 1s spent, the Government would have “no assets,” and no means of raising any, but will any one venture to aver, on this rea- | soning, that Congress had no power to bor- row the fifteen millions ind pledge the im- port duty on cotton, ? The anmouncemeat ot | such a proposition would startle the commer- clause in the | Vou and laws made in parsuance thereot, 18 | Gal world, hot putin the exemp- | “the supreme law. Take acase near home: Gov. Morehead proposed a plau by whicl to enable the Go ve eration, among other dings, that the bonds should not at any time be lable to taxation — thereby withdrawing that amount of the wealth of our citizens trom liability to sup- port the Government in all time to come ;— | many said it would be unwise in Congress to withdraw that amount from hability to taxa- tion; but no one ever suvgested that Con- gress did not have power to make the con- | tract ; and yet brother Kittrell might run out his mode of reasdning, 80 as to show that Congress might in this manner abuse its pow- er and reduce itself to absolute begyary ; a 8 Congress did not have the power | tis ifying, however, to know that I am not under the necessity of relying on my own © borrow money on | iment to borrow 400 millions, in consid. | EH oat i864.

I set out two alter- native positions: ‘is authority to issue smi! notes, conferred by the charter, asa part «7 the essence of the contract, with the intention to put it beyond the control of all future legis- lation ?” or is it conferred asa mere incident, with the intention, that it should be subyect tv such limitations as the Legislature, might 1! any time thereafter, deem expedient,” &¢.—ho does not set out-both of these positions oi either of them, but confounds them tovethe:; vakes the words, *as-a part of the essence 1 contfact,” from the fist, and substitutes ther into the’ setond m place of the words, “as a mere incident.” which he omits, aud th® mats the sense and makes nonsense uf it, aud reptesenis me @s saying: Tbe authority to issue small notes is coulerréd by the charter, “as part of the essence of the contract, with the integtion that it-should ve subject to /v- ture legislation,” and that this is so plairthat a mere statement is sufficient to dispose of it. I must be allowed tu object to this mode ot treating: the opinion of Judges’ MéRee v. Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road Co., 2 Jones, 186. The statement made by his Honor, keeps in the back ground the promi- nent fact on which the case turns, that the structare—a bridge crected by the Compa- ny—was a mere continuation of the roud across the river; no to!! was ever received on it as a bridge, and ic was used in every re- spect as ahy other part of the road, and the de- cision is‘put on the ground, that a structure or otidge of this sort was not in contempla- Gon Of the parties in 1776, and was not cm- braced by the contract. As his Honor al- mits substitution to be a contract, I am una- dle to see how these cases have any applica- ton to his position, that the Government may violate its own contract. I have not examined the many other references; in- deed, it is unnecessary, for I concur in ti correctness of “the general principles” in support of which they are cited: and the | bor and research bestowed on these genera principles only tend to prove, that no case can be found to support the partucular pox tion on which his decision rests. Tn support of this positon, uis Horor tak-s two yzrounds: 1. * There is nothing in tl Constitution of the Coniederate States. whici prohibits Congress to. pass laws viv! | obligation of contracts. though such : is demed to the seve i Congress Thay violate its own ” made a Constitution for the Confederate j States, unul alter the war was over!

The qguesnon is, does that decision settle the law, or should it be over-ruled? Iam aware Wat in the opinion of the Secretary of War aud of his bxvcedeney, Gov.

No action was takeu by tae Legislatare.

I feel that I have heard all that can be said on both sides of the question: and, if I have failed to arrive at a correct conclusion, it is because the. power of judgment with which nature has gifted me, aided by a life-time study of the principles of tue law does not enable me to make legal de- cuctions.

(rustavus relied on bis word, and, promising pot name bim to any while Le was absent, some davs afterwards saw Pearson leave the house to put his design in execution. It was, indeed, a design, and a black one. Under the specious eloak of a zealous affection for Gustavus, the traitor was contriving his ruin, The hope of making his court to the Danish tyrant, and the expectation of a large reward, in dueed him to sacrifice bis honor. to his ambition, and, for the sake of a few ducats, Violate the most sacred laws of hospitality by betraying his guest. In pursuance of that base resolution, he proceeded to one cf Christiero’s officers commanding in the province, and informed him that Gustavus was his prisoner. Havinz committed this treachery, he had not the courage to face his victim, but telling the Dane how to surprise the prince, who, he said, believed timself under the protection of a friend, he proposed taking a wider circuit home, while they, appa- reatly unknown to him, rified 1t of its trea- sure. “It will be an easy matter,” said he, “for my wife knows that it is Gusta- vus.” The officer at the head of a party of well armed soldiers, marched directly to the lake.

At the height of the excitement which was about to break out into actaal hos- (ilies, there appeared among them a fellow, | tbe town clerk, whose name is not given, and I regret the umisson, for I think he was the smartest uninspired man mentioned in Scrip- ture, who got upon the court-house steps or | “the stump’’ and spoke to the people. What? Do any of you recollect the passage’? THe ad- vised the people ‘‘to do nothing rash.” ‘‘For,” said he, ‘‘you will be held accountable for this uproar. If Demetrias and the artizans have anything against this man, the law is open; let them implead each other, the deputies are sworn, and it shall be iuquired of ma lawful assembly." This is the advice I give you to day: Do nothing rash.

The writings in German—Cashimeyrr's pative tongue— had only been partly translated last evening, but that portion of the letter translated is sw] tu be treasonable in the highest degree.

Tt charged the Government with withbold- ing the soldiers’ pay, neglecung thesokbers’ familes and liard aod cruel treatment of the soldier himsc'i, guing so far as to accuse that the Standard was prevented from teaching the casnps by the violations of the mai! aod that furlunglis were refused to soldiers if they were Mr. Holden's (riends, On the 16ta of December lagt, the Legisla- ture having adjouraed, Mr. Holden published the followmg short but significant editorial | “Nearly tive months will intervene be- tween tts adjourament and reassembling in May. and meanwhile the most important events are hkely to occur. The people will have ainple ume dn which to instruct their Represeutatives, and we trust that during this me their will may be publicly, and unmistak- ably prousanced.” This paragraph apparent- ly so iusguificant and unostentatious, was the precursor ul an advatewe more by the “ peace party” of the State; was asigo froin the chet of the signal corps, of a new position On the 30th of December, in two short weeks after. the following, by way of appeal to a @stincuve interest, be gave rather plarger in- dication of the contemplated purpose.“ The indications are that the only way to save elavery 's (hrongh negotiauons for an bonor- able peace. The only power that can close the war 1s the power that made it, that of the sovereign States, and the States can speak autharitatively only im Convention.” * Here is a call upon a particular class—an active appeal to @n especial interest, an un- qualified ignoting of the Coafederate Govern- ment and explicit call for separate State ac- tion. Between the 30th of December and the 6th of January, as can readily be proved, Dr. J. T. Leach, the member elect to Congress from the 3d District, who lives in Johnetotl coun- ty, was several times in Raleigh, and always visited at the office of Mr, Halden. On the 12th of January Mr. Holden published the proceedings of a meeting held in Coat's Dis- trict, Johnston county, and announced the resolutions to be “ admirable in tove and ex- pression.” He also announced that these re- solutions were prepared by Dr. Leach, who he said took an active part in the meeting. The proceedings of that meeung recited a preamble as follows: “ Whereas, The alarming and fearful ten dency of the Contederate Government to- wards a military despotism—by the enact- ment of unjust and oppressive laws, to cit)- sens is just cause of complaint: * * * * “ Resolved, That North Carolina as a sov- ereign and independent State has a right to consult the present good, and future happi- ness of her citizens, and when she is forced to choose between a military despotism and ber State sovereignty, for the good of her people she will choose the latter by a con- vention of her citizens.” In Mr. Holden's paper of the same last- mentioned date, was published a commani- @ation from the same Dr. Leach—whom Mr. Holden had applanded—which communication wasentitled “ Whom the Gods wowta de etroy they first made mad.” This commnni- eation was intended to go out as an exfllana- tion of the meaning of the resolutions and preamble, in order to afford a cue to the ini- uated in the further progress of the agitation. In that communication there is this startling ennunciation : bd “There is a point beyond which forbear- _ a00@ ceases to be a virtue, and North Oaro- , Boa, as regards her on.igaTions under the the defe of theic igalienable rights. It is a fearful struggle for life and property on the one hand, and for civil and religious liberty on'the other. The reckless legislation of Con- gress, enslorsed by the President,and the mighty stridés now making towards a mili- tary despotism, admit of no delay. Nations, like fainiliés, are beld together by duty and interest; if one fails to discburge their duty, the others are released from the discharge of tbera * * She (North Carolina) made a virtue of necessity, and coalésced against ber interests with those who are now ing the chains of military despotisar apon ber. * © She now claims the tulfillicedt of the terms of that compact, or the mgt to de- part in peace. Thus Mr. Holden pablished to the worhd this treasunable denunciatiqnu—in whieh, af- ler suygmauging our Government as a viola- tor of its obligations, a inilitary despotism— which had failed in the discharge of its duty, and with which we codlesced from necessity —bue ayainst our interest—the author pro- ceeds to advise a cessation of. forbearance, and aa immediate standing upon the defen- sive in a fearful struggle about to be com- inenced for life-and property. far civil and religions hberty—all against our own govern- ment—the clan to secede beiug deliberately setup. And Mr. Holden gives lis endorse- ment to this wicked aod traitorous commu- nication—by wifbbolding reprobation—by compluineatiug its author—by establishing poliucal gffiliation with hin—and in the same paper by recommending other connties to “follow the example of our Johuston trends” —basing this recomtinendation on his asser- ton that the “constituuenal nights of the people are io danger, and unless the people should come to the tescue, they may be en- urely swept away. Now is the ume for ac- tion” Mr. Holden thus combined with the leading tnalcuntents in au open, avowed bos- tility to our Goverument. It closed its col- uinps upou the acts of the enemy. It kept thera open for attacks ou our own Govern- mentin all its departments —and it thus ad- vised, instigated and maugurated the agita- tion in Nort Carolina, whose end would be, “it uncheck Oo give the Sigte over into the hands of the evemy. We shall follow up the acts of Mr. Holden to their legitimate conse- quences as far as they have gone, aud we hope to be able, if bis eyes are not blinded — to unfold even to his view, the enormity of the danger he is invoking upon bis country it he succeed—on himself and his coadjutors —if there is strength enough to ensure his failure. Having set up his protege and committed to the public the Johnston fire-brand, Mr. Holden sets himseit to work to pile on and sur the fuel. On the 19th of January, he announced the right of North Carolina to nold a Convention, “without being responsi- ble for so doing to any power on earth.” — He had previously asserted, that in a certain contingency, “the people of North Carohna will take their affairs into their own hands, aud will proceed, in convention assembled, to vindicate their liberties and privileges.” — And again, tn the same article : “The people of North Carolina will rise in “their majesty and assert their sovereignty. ‘There is vo power to prevent them from do- ‘yng, this and wue to the official character who ‘shall attempt to turn the arms of Confederate “soldiers against the people of this State! “North Carolina will not be the slave of either “the Congress at Richmoud or Washington. “She is this day, as she has been from the first, “the key-stone of the Confederate arch. If “that stone should fall, the arch will tumble. “Let Congress be warned in time.” Thus having insinuated into the popu- Jar mind the vature of those important events to which he had alluded—having spread the venom of the Jobnston meeting and the attendant circular; on the 19th he sigeifies that ‘what she will do in that Con- vention ,will be for ber own people to de- termine; and then he proceeds to intimate what she ought to do. This intimation is based upon the beef which he expresses in the tollowing terms ;— * «We believe that if the war should be con- tinue © months longer, negro slavery wyll “a y and finally destroyed in these ‘ates, and that it will be impossible to re-es- ee the institution. Its sudden destructiva would involve the whole socis! strocture in “SALISBURY, N..0 _WERPRLY ridin.” "We believe Vat ‘hy Tha’ efid Of tre periil mentioned, the rights of the Siptes sud the circemsiapces, Lo say pot disposition and purposes ofthe government at Richmwnd. will have been blitted out, or will be et the mercy of that emt. Webe- lieve that peace cun uevee be obtained us long as we contend for Muryluad, Kentucky, Mis- souri and West Virginia; aud that, in all ptu- babifity, it can be obtsined ogly by the saver- eign States apres with the common government. We are. therefo.e, for u Conven- tiun, aod for a co-operation with our sirter Riates of the South in obtaining an armistice, sv that negotiations may be commevced. [t is not for us to say whet such a Coavention should do; bat we muy be suse it weuld omit 60 proper steps to secare peace, and uicauwhile lo protect the State aguiust the engroachments of arbitrary power. It would se@ to il that the proud head of the State was bowed to no despot. 1t woula insist that the civil law should prevuil in all cases; and being in existenco, if not constantly in session, it would have the right to speak and act for the State as a sover- eigu, und to demand that the Congress and the military power should respect that civil law and the inalienable nghts of our peuple.” To prevent the abdlitien of slavery, to se- cure peace, and prevent the extinction of the State sovereignties, “a Cunvention is to be held.” This Convention is to “appoint com- missioners to treat for peace.” The terms are partly set forth in this article, and more particularly in another. They are to surrender that portion of the Coutederacy known as Kentucky and Mis- soun, to acquiesce in the division of the State of Virginia and the congeest of a portion of her territuory—and indeed to get peace on the best terms we can get, for, said be on 2nd of February; “I want separation and in- dependence. We could have got detter terios Uwvelve Months ago than we can now. 4 Bat this is not all that the Convention was to lo. It was to “check the innovations and usurpations of the commer Government ;” for, said Mr. Holden on the 19th of January: North Csrolina “would not be bound by a Goverament which bad lost its original char- acter and beeu perverted to despoug put poses against ber own rights, aud the rights aud liberties of her citizens.” How was it to check the usurpations. referred to, and what are some of the usurpauons it wag to check ? Why, if the habeas corpus were suspended, this Canvention was to say, “we could not subunit to that.” If the cof&scription were extended, “we cannot submit to that.” If the Government choose to employ its mill- tary force to arrest deserters, this Convention was to say ‘we don't want Confederate troops in our midst fof tha: purpose.” And finally, this Convention, in some unforeseen emergency, was to interpose some power to “preserve the very existence of the State.” Phis is a faithful drawing of the plans, pur- poses, motives and means of. Mr. Holden and his associate agitators They were to secure a Convention in an illegitimate way. It was to sit in permanent Session—to watch, spy, Object to, check, forbid the actions of the legitimate Confederate Government, and un- bind our people from their allegiance to Government that this Convention might say “had lost its original character.” And to- wards the enemy it ways to look with a lenient eye—to get out of it the best terms it could—to send commissioners to it—to treat, and in treaty to agree to surrender Kentucky and Missouri, and consent to the cutting off of Virginia. In other words, to make an agreement to disrupt the Confederacy. These startling propositions have been made by Mr. Holden 1n a pubhe print, have been scattered by him among our soldiers and among our people; have gone with or with- out hig sanction into the eneany’s lines, and he in apparent innocenee of any harm, fond- ly thinking no one hurt, complacently asks 18 there any treason in these propositions ? We answer him in all candot—rctv or rr —full to the ¢proat—bursting—ronning over with flagrant sedition and treasonable incite- meat—that in England, where the trial by jury and the exposition of the law is the freest and soundest in the world, would hang him a thousand times orer, Why, suppose his commissioners appointed and they endeavor to commuricate with the enemy to TREAT, as her purposes.

If Mr, Holden's Convention were in ses- sion, now that the habeas ¢ is. suspend- ed, and were to say 40. the Government,.in the Janguage of Mr. ‘Holden—“You, have silenced our Judges, you have silenced the you have deprived the people of the om of speech and destroyed personal tiberty—"'We cannot) submit to. it”—and his Convention wére to pass: ap otdinutice of re- sistance—it would be unquestionable (reason, in all concerned in it; because the Govern- ment has the constitdtional right to suspend the privilege of the habeas corpus, and resis- tanee, whethe> by the State authority o: by bodies of people, would be levying war against the Government, which is treason, ; So tno single step could be taken to enforce the suggestions of Mr. Holdeb. ex- cept by the commission of a capital felony, which Mr. Holden bas unquestionably been ingjung for some Wme past. We seek not to inflame any pséjudice or animosity against Mr. Ho!den. We would rather conjure him to survey the ground on which be stands. If the people will calmly look at these things, they will wopder that any man encambered with sucha weight of folly, carrying this load’ of bad jadgiment, bad sense, imorbdence and misebief, not to use the phrases most appropriate—they will wonder that sueh a person could have the hardihood to present himself 4 candidade be- fore them—most of all, a candidate to be their Governer. Why. suppose Mr. Holden were the Governor now, with all these foolisa, silly views and principles, and his associates installed with him—what a spectacle should we present ? apr big pr fellow-citizens | We shall pursue Mr. Holden's plans to their result already produced. We have now brought Mr Holden down, to his explanation of his proposition tor Convention, as made ir his paper of Jan- uary 19th, in which the numerous acts jn contemplation to be performed by the Con- vention, are specified with a calmness and de- liberation as though they were entirely law- ful, and in no wise contravening the duties of a loyal citizen. Now, we desire to show to Mr. Holden himself—for our object is first to reaeh him— and at the same time to show to the people, the deleterious influence of this long course of teaching—and the fatal consequences in many instances to the individuals who fall under it. ; First, we wish to show the impression made by Mr. Holden on the public sentiment of the Confederacy. We assert that Mr. Holden has fixed in the mind o€a large por- tion of the people of our sister States, a con- viction that an extensive disloyal feeling ex- ists in North Carolina, to our shame and evil repute. We cite in support of this assertion, the authority of the newspaper press gener- ally—tmore especially the Richmond Sentinel, Whig and Examiner, the Lynchburg Vir- ginian, Atlanta Intelligencer, Mississippian, Chattanooga Rebel, and many others) We submit the following from the Richmond Whig, and afterwards adopted by the Chron- icle and Sentinel of Augusta, as expressing the general opinion of the press of the couu- try on Mr. Holden ard his associates : “ Tur Peace Movement in Noatu Caroui- xa AnD Groroia.—We have given some atien- tion 40 the indications of policy and ada “be as developed by the peace movement in Nomh Carolina and Georgia.

There ms tv be no antecedent principle seeking ihe indicatioh—no great triamph of policy to emerge from this uwful sacrifice of blood—no resuit'nt aij worthy of the expenditure of tife and property now made by the country. These recgnstructionists are ready to re-enact the same suicidal folly that has produced this war, and would, of necessity, produce another.— They are willing to re-instate the most odious form of despotism, that is a consolidated de- mocracy supported by the sword.” The Richmond Whig is a paper of very high position and very marked ability ; in olities rather inclined to sympathize with fr Holden in many things—of the Rives and Hill of Georgia conservative sehool—cer- tainly not a paper to form its conclusions on accusations against Mr. Holden by othera— " NUMBER 43.

This is:‘a‘¢éommon mani- festation of the “esprit du‘ corps." : Bat M: Holden has suspended fir myste- rious terms, under extraordinary cireatnstan- ces; and as far as we have been able to see no word of sympathy, no expressioa of regre: has followed him into retirement; a cold studied and meaning silence, as thongh one had le{t of whom good caunot be spoken, to- wards whom forbearance intheates silence Has Mr. Holden seen this? Does it make pv Impression upon bim ? While such bas been the effect on public sentiment ontstde the State, bow has it bee: here? All the papers of North Carolina are not “destructive,” thopgh Mr. Holden choos es so to class them when they differ with hin, But the Fayetteville Observer, the Greens- boro’ Patriot and the Salisbury Watchmat might give Mr. Holden a ticket of admittance to, or dismissal from the. party with which he has been acting for the last two yeare. without arrogahce. But for him to assame to dismiss them ; it is Mr. Holdemsm unmis- takable. Let Mr. Holden ponder the sefti- ments of these presses, and while ponderiny ask hitnself, who stand by him in North Car- olina? The People’s Press at Salem, the Newbern Times, Yankee, and one half-and- half neutral and equivocal, and one positively with emphasis neutral. We say nothing of papers which Mr. Holden calls “ Destrac- uve. New, what effect has Mr. Holden produc- ed on our soidiers?

But worst of all, what effect has Mr. Hold en produced on our enemies? What did Edward Everett think of Mr. Holden, when to the assembled multitude, on the fatal field ot Gettysburg, he announced for the engour- agement of our fogs, that “at Raleigh an in- dependent press is unlimberiog its a s, Mr. Hoideu ignorant that the New York Tribune, New York Times, Boston Traveller, &c., teem with his articles—these same art)- cles which compel our Government to shoot our own men, and, caught by our ene mies, stimulate eed to ‘coutaaap ies: ing us? Why noW, again, we have‘before . Re ‘ens our eyes another file of that Yankee sheet, published at Newbern by George Mills Jay, Yankee, in which there is more than one ed- “torial copied from the Standard—among oth- ers, that one in the. Standard of the 10th of February, received by this Yankee in ten ays—for his copy that we have is of the 20th—which notices Wright's resoluuons un- ier the head—“ tien at Rich- ‘uond,” and therein (taken from the Standard also) is found an editorial concerning a “ fu rore in the interior for holding public meet- :ugs”—meetings, says, he, were held at Gold- ea Valley, Rutherford, Carthage, Brevard, Transylvania county, Lenuox Castle, Greens- doro’, High Point, district, Wake. And this Yankee says. “these meetings breathe a defiance to the Davis Goveruiment,” while “the meeting in Wake comes oearest to the point of any.” The meeting in Wake referred to, was Mr. Holden's own meeting—gotiou up on his call. It denounced the war as unholy, and called ou the Goveruor to convene the Legis- lature, to call a Convention to negotiate with the United States for peace. This Yankee ‘Joy, quotes the resolution from Mr. Holden's r, and then says—“ we (Joy) know many ‘ehable Union men withiu the rebel lines.” * * “The meetings indicate one thing, 1. e. a batred of the Ganfederacy’—" while this ‘asts there is hope.” Hope! hope ior whom ? for what? Hope for the ruthless foe that occupies our homes? Hope for their successful advance into that interor, that they may take more households by storm, drive out more exiles, and slaugh- ser mote lives? While this Yankee is drinking out of Mr. Holden's cornucopia of hate these deep gush- es of Hops, old men and women, young men and maidens, bereft of home, comfort and happiness, have well nigh lost hope, and are set down. to a dry despair. While Mr. Hold- en in calm compiacency writes down that these “principles and views will pot be ehanged"—the enemy takes “nore!” Yet again, these same vandal foes, in bacchanali- an orgery, with drum and fife and full brass band frou. Massachusetts, make celebration ia the streets, feeling psoud to be called by Mr. Holden's ‘naave and homage to the “ Holden Truck[” I{ these things stir no latent ember in Mr. Holdea’s breast, then the fire is gone gut.

SUCCESSFUL RAID UPON THE EAST- ERN SHORE We have just learned the particulars of a very dashing and successful descent upon the enemy on the Eastern Shore of Virginia by Capt. Thedeus Fitzhugh, of the Fifth Vir- ginia cavalry, and thirteen of his men. Capt. Fitzhugh was at home, in Mathews county, on farlongh. Getting together fourteen men of bis company, he crossed Chesapeake bay to Cherrystone wharf, in Northampton coun- ty, and there surprised and captured a Yan- ee picket of twenty-nine men, and destroy- ad a large amount of commissary and quar- termaster’s stores and six wayons. (ne achooner and two steamers were lying at the wharf. He burnt the schooner, bonded one of the steamers, and ran the other across the gay and beached it high up on the Peanke- tank river, with the design, if possible of sav- ing its machinery, which is very valuable.— Capt. Fitzhugh would have extended his raid beyond but one of his men having deserted, he felt sure that the infor- mation he would farnish the enemy would very goon bring down an overwhelming force + serduacd gee party. He returned safely to without any other casualty than the desertion mentioned.— Rich. Examiner. Cashmeyer.—This detective was certainly coleased yesterday (and no mistake this time) on . What are the conditions of his pa- role we have not learned. They may be, ‘‘not to do so any more,” or not to leave city, or —any of a number of other things.

Vance for re-election to the Gubernatorial chair. bas “oe SPEAKING OUT. The soldiers in the field and the people at home, are beginning to speak out in regard to the next Governor’: eleetion. Gov. Vance has not declared himself a candidate, and we think will be saved the trouble. The thing will be dove very much as it was done two years ago. The people then took him up and made him Governor without any ifs or ands from him; and having weighed him in the balances and found that he is “all nght,” just the very thing they wanted, have no idea of throwing him away to take up Holden, or any body else. Gov. Graham, with all his acknowledged ability and popularity, nor Gov. Morehead, the glorious old “ Wheel horse” of former years, would dare hope they could beat Gov. Vance ; how*much less, then, the little man of questionable character who presides over the Standard! Itis an ab- surdity too gross and ridiculons to talk about. There wasan election held for Governor on the cars between Wilmington and Weldon, a tew days ago, which resulted thus: Vance, 79 Holden, 02 Nearly all the voters were soldiers. One of the fellaws who voted against Vance, said he went fot Holden “ cause he was for peace, and he know'd he would end the war as soon as he was elected.’ The other one had most hkely committed some offence in word or deed which made him sympathise -with the self-proclaimed candidate. ke” Lt.

A. G. Foster was nominated. The meeting also passed several resolutions in regard to public affairs among which we find the following : Resolved, That the conservative and judi- cious administration of the State Government by Gov. Vance, and the noble and patriotic sentiments embodied in his recent address to the people, make him our first and only choice for Governor. : Resolved, That to the herore defenders of our homes and liberties in the field—our gallant soldiers—we tender the warmest expressions of our admiration and gratitude, and we trust that an honorable and lasting peace will, ere long, crown their salt cache efforts in the cause of Freedom and Independence. The report of the Committee was adopted as the unanimous sentiment of the meeting. There was a County meeting at Fayette- ville last week, which passed a resolution in favor of Governor Vance, tendering him the hospitality of the Town, and inviting him to ae ca a Ua —— visit them and deliver anaddress.

The Rev. Jos. A. Linn, member of the Evan. Loth. Synod of N.C., was thrown from his horse last Sunday, returning from one of his Churches, and mortally damaged. He was taken up in a state of total insensi- bihty, and so continued until Monday eve- nicg. He spoke but few words. “Tell my brothers in the Ministry,” said he, “that I died at my post.” Mr. Lion was a man of uncommon amiabil- ity and goodness of heart—kind and gentle to all, at home and abroad—a highly beloved and useful pastor, and a most excellent. cit- Truly may it be said of him—“a good man is gone.” His funeral took place on Thursday last, with Masonic ceremonies, and was nuwmerously attended izen. -*“e — BVT Those having more Confederate money than they wish to invest in 4 per cent. Confederate bonds, would do well to consider whether investing it in the Stock of the North Carclina Volunteer Navy Company would not be the best thing The stock of this Company, if it *hould prove as valuable as that of other similar investments, will, in they could do with it. a short time, stand at « very high premi- um. The present organization of the Company, with Cyrus 1. Mendenhall, Esq., for its President, is a yood guarantee of its prospective value. The Company have already on their books, as we learn, about one million dultara, The charter granted by the State, limits its stock to ten mil- hons. The larger the amount of ys capi- tal, the more chances for successful opera- tion. We suljoin the fullowing extract from the circular of the travelling agent of this company, Rev. W. Harris, briefly explan- atory of its nature and purpose : “This is anew but immensely important enterprise, especially as it relates directly to the great struggle fur national independence and existence now going on in the Southern Confederacy. It is ascheme having the Gon - federate States for its author and protector, and the Legisjature of North Carolina for its helper. Ovefburdened with the weight of a most gigantic war, the Confederate States early realized its inability to provide a navy out of its own Treasury and the resources at its command commensurate with the wants of the Country, and some wise and patriotic head conceived the :dea of offering induee- ments both patriotic and pecumary, to ber private citizens to do for her what she felt unabl@ to do for herself. She authorised and provided for, by Act of Congress, a Volunteer Navy, and appeals to citizens by considera- tions of patnotism and interest to take hold of, and push it through. It is a people's pa- vy under the protection of Government; a na- vy bougbt and owned by private individuals and associations, & operating against the com- merce of the enemy under Governmental reg- ulations. The Government demands a tithe of all the profits of the investment for the protection she affords, and she pays well for all the work the navy accomplishes for ber. The Government really makes nothing in dol- lars and cents in the end; but the owners of the ships forming this navy reap the nch re- wards of immense gain, whilst at the same time they are destroying the power of the enemy on the seas and thus compelling him to end the unjust and unrighteous war he is waging’ against ns. Here, then, is a field for enterprise wide enough and inviting enough to fire the zeal of every man who can be moved to high resolves by love of Country and the hope of gain.” Those wishing to take stock, may do so by calling at the Salisbury Branch of the Bank of Cape Fear, where books will remain open for a few weeks. —_—_—- ope — There is a baby at Petersburg, Va, fifteen months old, which weighs one hundred ,and eleven pounds. Its parents brought it to the market, a few days ago, and it soon attract- ed such a crowd that they were obliged to remove it to a house aod charge persons for admission to see it. It has not yet learned to walk or talk. MORE RECOGNITION. We observe from an. examinatioa of our foreign files, says the Whig, that there was “a vague rumor in London, on the 19h ult., that France contemplated a speedy recogni- tion of the Confederacy, under which the Confederate loan advanced to 57 a 59." The paragraphs in the London Morning Post men- tioning and reiterating the report appear- ed, respecuvely, ou the 24tn and 26th ulti- mo. Our latest European advices are to the 28th ult, up to which Ume there had been no official or other contradiction of the report. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Enqutrer, in announcing the arrival at that port, from Paris, of a son of Minister Dayton, with Dispatches from his father, states that young Dayton represented in effect, to his friends, that the dispatches communicated to the Government at Wasb- ington the purpose of the Emperor of France to recognize the Confederacy. These circum- stances give some plausibility to the report, but we caution gur readers against crediting it until they have further assurance of its cor- rectness. We shall certainly know in the course of a few weeks whether tt 1s worthy of belief or not.

Oc the anniversary. of the birth of the immortal "Washington, io Our late ‘home of Newbern, now contaminated by the presence and occupaney of the invader witht bis horde of wretches who pollute our homes aud despoil our property—on the 22d of February at Newbern, these enemies, with their tory companions, did outrage to the day, by bolding a celebra~ top. In that display, wae a Fireman’s parade, under the auspices of one Captain Denny, who bas a hatchet and axe company of 30 men. The Times, edited by Geo. Mills Joy, Yankee, thus notices the turn out: “The Fireman’s celebration on Monday last parsed off very successfully. The line organ- ized on Brvad street, : Foster Engine co No. I—€3 men. Holden Hook and Ladder No. 1—63 mena, *The Foster Engine was very neatly and elaborately 1rimmed-” The Holden truck, glao. The apparatus was beaotifally trimmed. On wop of the Hol- den truck was perched « Silver Grey For, that wae Very uneasy in its position and attracted mach attention.” The Foster Engine is named after General Foster~who was once saved from death at Wilmington by the tender nursing of one of the kindest and tmost excellent ladies of North Carolina—and who recompensed the humanity afterwards by stealing the articles of furniture out of the houses of the people of Newbern and bestowing them upun his white wife and colored mistresses. This Engine was named io his bonor—the General once commanding the invaders at Newbern. The Holden track—which came next in order after Foster's, the thiefs in this yankee processiun—was named in bonor of Mr. William W. Holden of Raleigh — since yesterday, candidate for Governor of North Caroliua. The Holdew (ruck —of the Holdeo bouk and ladder company of the fire Department at Newbern. On this fruck was an apparatos, and perched there- on “a Silver-Grey For"—a fox that at- tracted much attenion—and “that was very Uneasy in its position.” Qhe Holden truck. Truck! This word points xo inquiry. What Truckling has Mr. Holden done, that bis name, now while we are in dreadful war, designates a portion of the display, in a eelebration of our enemies! How bas he truckled to our invaders, that thas be obtains at their hands this distinguished consideration 1 And on the tup. a “Silver-Grey Fox.”— Why select a For to surmount the Hol- den Truck? What is there of resemblance’ between Mr. Holden and a “Silver-Grey Fox!" What of disposition, babit or character do the yankee adtmirers of Mr. > Holden see alike in him and a Silver-Grey Fox?” The fox is an arity cuoning, low, deceitful, mischievous, false, treacherous beast. Why shold the yankees, while thus honoring Mr. Holden, thus associate him? But the “silver Grey fox was very un- easy tn hts position.” Fox as he was, he was not wholly lost to all sense of honor, all sease of shame, all sense of danger.— One or the other, or perhaps a little of both emotiona, cunspired tv his uneasiness. Well may this Foz feel uneasy. The hunters are after bun —the woods are open —the coursers are fleet of foot, and New- bern and North Carobna will not alwys by safe for it. This is the first picture of the candidate for Governor in North Carolina, sent up for presentation to the people from the colunns of the Times—Geo. Mills Joy, Yankee, Editor. It would be very extraordiorry mao that can thus hold the affections of both sides in a time of deadly war—can strict- ly maintain the faith with both —be hon- ored by one in public cdlebrations—and elected Governor by the other.— Raleigh Confederate, To Taz Payers.—People who have not been asseesed with or paid their Confederate tax for 1863, hed better call at the ‘' captain’s off ce” whilst the opportunity laste. These delinqueats who think they will escape the payment of the tax because the assessor has not called upon them, will find themselves mistaken two or three mvnths hence, when a bill, at double rates, is poked at then.

You rememberthat at “our meetin” the 30th of Fehguary, we passed a res- olution nominating W. W. Holden for Govern- or, never gireaming that the “ Capting” would go off “ half cocked” the way he did ; but as we can’t take the back track, I must in justice*explain, #0 that all may know where honor is due. I do not wish Mister Holden to see a word of what I say, but our meetin’ was not as respectable in numbers as could be de- sired, our friend Jack, jr., und myself being the only persons present, but as more of the same sort of meetins bad bedn held, we tho’t numbers immaterial, provided we had weight, 80 we held the meeting. And furthermore, we could not agree as to the last resolation, your humble servant insisting that the Capting’s past history was safficient guarahtee that in the Capting was “neither variableness nor shadow of turning.” Jack admitted vhis, bat said these were revolutionary times, and among politicians there is a fearful and alarming ten-. dency to lose thei balanee and turn summer- saults; so not being able to agree and maintain harmony, we put the resolation thropgh by a process known among legislators as log-polling. And now, Mr. Editor, as there is a “fearful and alarming” tendency im Mister Malden to be Governor, we propose to hold a grand.rat- ification meetin at Right Angles on the first of April. So Mr. Editer and feltow-citizens, our craft is launched, and all who wish to take pas- sage can do so by applying on that day.

Hatet, Esq., of St. Louis, Missou- ri, was brougbé.to Demopolis on Tharsday last, and placed in-irons, condemned to be hung as a spy. é . This man McGibbon is a Canadian by birth, and in early life went to. New York City, ang entered the office of one of the leading attorneys of that city as a law stadent. Af- ter gétting his license to practice bis profes- sion, he went to Illinoi8 for several years, but becoming vety mach involved, be left there and went to St Louis, very much redueed and in want. Circumstances bringing him to the notice of Henry N. Hart, a & practising and prominent lawyer, Mr. H. was won by his cotrteous, gemtiemanly address, mvited bim to visit his office, and treated him with all, the courtesy = gentleman. Paes Soar becomming‘ so m possessed in his fa- ‘vor, t : phed to We H. Seward,. Lewis Cass, and others of less note, to whom Mc- Gibbon referred as to-his genetal eharacter and standing, and receiving favorable an- swers, 4dmitted Mc@ibbon as a partner in his office, to share Tes profits ac- cruing therefrom. ~“Phis was jn Se; ber, 1860. After thé Poses af Camp bec Mr. Hart learned, to p r . isbment, bis. partner, and had. for ‘sortie tinea pany of 10 3 fednal.~ Twnhiediatély on learning this, Mr. H. had his (McGibbon’s) accounts made out dissolved partnership. Soon after this; Mr. Hart was arrested and thrown into the St. Louis Arsenal prison, as a rebel! MeGibbon used every means in his power to have Mr, Hi-ewecated, as an enemy to the Federal Government, and as an aider and abeitor to the “socalled Confederate States,” ae he had no positive proof of the fact. Mr. H. was after several months confinement, released on condition that he wotftd ewigzate to a climate more congenial to his sentiments, which he readily consented to do,4n other words, he was banished, on the supposit#@n that .be was not logal to “ the best government the world ever saw, which supposition was correct, ip that =e if i ® z least. McGibbon was arrestgd last summer at Grenada, Miss., and on-being questioned as to his intentions and objects, stated he former-. ly belanged to the Confederate States infant- tyybut hat been discharged ‘on‘account of inability forthat line of the service, and was making his way to the sea coast to join the - Confederate Navy. Not baving the requi- site papers about him to snbstantiate these facts, he was arrested as a spy, and-taken to Pontitoe for safe keeping. He soon after broke jail, but was shortly after again appte- hended and taken to Columbus, and tried, couvicted, anf condemned to be shot as a spy. He made application for a new trial, and pending the motion, again cut his way out of jail. He was, a few days sincé, again arrested, in company with some others, and brought to Demopolis and. heavily ironed, there tu await the action of the military board. It has been reliably ascertained from newe derived from Mempbis, that this man Me- Gibbov, with two others, left Memphis last summer as @ Seeret agent or epy, for the Fed- eral Government, ahd $20,000 was to be their reward for sach information as they might gain of interest to them, and of course detri- mental to our cause. One of them was caught and hung last summer; the other was ap- prehended and lodged in jail, but soon after made his escape, and the third one, McGib- bon, is the subject of this sketch. = Mr. Hart, froth whom, we have derived this information, is a gentleman of reliability and of well known veracity. He states that McGibbon is a shrewd, c headed map, and a dangerous foe—leaving ne stene un- turned to esr toes any. objeet he might undertake. We learn He is to be hang some day this week.

Times eays: Notwithstanding the persistent denials, Gea. Meade is to be in commaud of the Army of the Potomac. The order re- a and appointing his successor, will } issued in a few days, Another dispateh to the same paper says: Gen. Grant will return to Washington in eight or ten days, and commence at once the herculean task of reorganizing the Army of the Pojomée preparatory to a vigorous of- fensive spring campaign. He will take the field in person at the bead of that army, and direct ita first movement in the spring. Geo. Halleck has ‘been offered command of any fepartment he wants. THE WORLD ON THE DRAFT. edna is appre! sponstbility of possible disasters in the spring | An peigen it Phas invested “General Grant | with the supreme command, to make him | a scapegoat for the sins of the administra: | tion.” e | WHY GOLD & UP. | A New York paper says: | The causes which have gold, or rather, more surietly;” have ‘teduced the price of Government currency, are: First, the redundaocy in the paper money of the country. Previous to the war, at a period of commercial activity, when the whole cou was together, three hundred millions piper money was the ontgice limit which the necessities of commerce required. It is estimated that now. weave not less than six baudred and fifty millions of paper money, while commerce is not as active as it was be- fore the war, and a large portion of our pop- ulation is cut off by tne rebellion. Second, our national carreccy is discredited by the failure @f the hopes of the people. It was ex- pected last fall that the worthlessnese of the rebel.currency, aod the dissatisfaction which andéniably prevailed, would vompel the Sou- thern people to consent to some terms of re- union rather than proluny a useless struggte. The opening movements .ot the spring cam- paign prove, however, that this was an en- tire mistake; that the rebellron is appareutly as strong as ever; and, with the failure of the popular hopes, comes a panic in the gold market. Third, the organwation of the new national banks renders it certain that, instead of a diminutiog, there is to be ab addition to the paper money of the country. The five- twenty loan having been all taken up, there is no longer an outlet tur greea-backs, and hence the surplus paper money 13 poured in- to the channels of business, thas creating a The New York World, under the head of “Two Hundred Thousand More,” says: “The cew Presidetitial proQlamation for two hundred thousans conscripts, in additiva | to the five hundred thousand volunteers which have almost beep raised, will not be received with patience by the country. At- ter all the patriotic sacrifices which have been made by wards, towns and counties throughout the North, it is disheartening that, alter all, we should be subject to the hard- ships of an enfgrced draft. What makes the matter more discouraging is the utter useless- ness of giving Mr. Lincoln more men with- out a distinct assurance of a change of mili tary policy. During the past six months a winter canzpaign in the Gulf States and ageinst Savannah and Charleston, could have been conducted better than any other ume of une war; yet all Mr. Lincoln has to show for the vast outlay of money and the myriads ” > ef oven placed at his dispusal is Olustee and a few irrtating and fruitless raids. We ap- peal to our files to show that we have hon- estly and earnestly done what we could to help volunteering; but this order for a drait ‘3 more than we bargained fay. In view of the readiness with which volunteers can be secured when sufficient pecuniary inducc- uuérfts are offered, it is a needless and cruel ip to force yw men from their” fami- hes and compel Fond to serve for the pit- tapee in depreciated curréncy now paid our soldiers.” ‘ BUTLER AND THE EXOBANGE OF PRISONERS. The Washington eorrespondent of the World says: “The statethent that General Butler has anything to do with the exchange of prison- ers is incorrect’ He has nothing more to do with the business than General Dix had when hé commanded the department. Then Lieut. Col. Ladlow was the recognized ajrent of exchange, and now the negotiaUous are carried on through Maj. Mulford. The re- vels bava not recognized General Butler in any manuvet, all aswrtions to the contrary ootwithStanding.” THE BEAST DENOUNCED. The World copies Beast Butler's order consigning George M. Bajne and W. H. W. Hodges, of Portsmouth, to hard labor at Hat- teras, with the following severe comment: “We pity the Amefican citizen who can read the above without his blood bowing with indignation at the pranks of the malici- ous human brute whom Mr. Lincoln has placed in command at Fortress Monroe to bring coritempt upon the fair name of his country.

Old Tubal Cain was a man of might, In the days when egrtk was young ; peo. arta egcorapas of bis hammer rung’; his brawgy band clear, To Tubal Cain came many a one, As he wrought by his roaring fire, And each one prafed for a long steel blade, As the crown of his desire ; And he made them weapons sharp and strong, Till they shouted long for glee, And gave him gifts of pearl and-gold, And spoils of the forrest free. And they sang, “ Hurrah for Tubal Cain Who hath given us strength a-new ! Hurrah for the smith, hurrah for the fire, 4nd hurrah for the metal true!” But a sudden change came o'er his heart At the setting of the sun; And Pubal Cain was filled with pain For the evil he had. done ; He saw that men with rage and hate Made war upon their kind, That the land was red with the blood they shed In their lust for carnage blind, And he said “ Alas! that I ever made, Or that skill of fnine should plan, The spear and the sword, for men whose joy Ts to slay their fellow-men. Atd for many a day old Tubal Cain, Sat brooding o’er his woe; And his haad forebore to smite the ore, And his furnace smouldered low, Bat he-reae at last with a cheerful face, And a bright courageous eye, And bared his strong right arm for work, While the quick flames mounted high, -. And he sang “ Hurrah for my handiwork,” And the red sparks lit the air ; “Not alone for the blade was the bright steel made.” _ ‘And he fashioned the first plough-share And men taught wisdom from the past, In friendship joined their hands, Hung-the sword in the hall, the spear oa thé wail, And ploughed the willing lands : And sang “ Hurrah for Tubal Cain ! @ur staunch good friend is be ; And for the’plough-share and the plough ‘To him our praise shall be. Bat while Oppression lifts its head, Or a tyrant would be lord— — | Though we thauk him for the plough, We'll not forget the sword !” ANIMATED NATURE.—FQOXES. Among the predatory and carniverous atfimais, none are more obnoxious than the ~ Fox. Itis an animal more or less oe to all eduntries, gbounds in temperate eli- J mates—as the Confederate States. It resem- bles the wolf.and the dog in many respects; though in others it differs from both. Its nose i6 sruail and its hair soft like the dog’s, whilé its eyes are obliquely situated and its ears are directed like the wolf’s. It is the politician of animals—dexterqus, cunning, aod full of art; his detection would be more difficalt and his power of mischief much greater, if it were not that nature has provided the means of discovering his whereabouts by a peculiar odor, which is inseparable from his presence. He gains by address whet -he lacks in strength — watches his gpportunities for depredation, aod varies his conduct to suit all occasions, He is of the most avaricious nature, and las an appetite insatiable—will eat any kind of food—rats, mice, serpents, toads, | lizzards, crabs, shrimps, gbell-fish. He will even attack wasps and wild bees; and when tbey stick to bis skin, be rolls ovér and over in the dirt antil he gets rid of them, and greedily devours the wex and honey. He is not swift in the chase, and OUR GAIN BY'THE WAR. + What are we to gaiv by the war, is sometimes asked. ~ When the ob- ject for which our people are pledged and are contendjng isaecomplished, the Stoth will surely haye lost noth- ing in rights, tertitory orinhenor. To present a balance sheet ofour gains, we muet glance at our.condition be- fore the war, and what will be after peace. : Before the war, the Senth was rapidly drifting to a most degraded condition. In @ minority in the old Union, which was in a constant re- lative diminution, our political and social rights were-becoming more and more Insecure from a fanatical and avowedly hostile majority. We -supported the burdens, dnd received the benefits, unequally, of the: gen- eral ‘Government. Under inimical commercial ulutions, oar valu- able staple prodealionh contributed ‘many fold more to the enrichment of the North than ourselves. It is only to continue this order of things that they stgive so earnestly to co- erce usto a union with them.— Though our traducers and oppresé- ors, we yet became tributaries for their manufactures, created and sup- ported hy, capital wrested from us, and congisting. largely of onr own raw prod@ugts. In a word, we were sinking to such a conditivn of help- lessness and dependence, and had tamely subjnitted so long to. the con tumely and gcorn uot only of the North, but of foreigen vations, that nothing bug the stimalus of almost internecine war could rescue us from fatal apathy and degradation. But when that peace is obtained, for which only will we lay down oor artns, we will have established not only reapectability and charac- dence at home. Though we .may not obtain the full measure of retri- bution that many desire, for the wrongs and injuries we have suf. fered, leaving vengeance to Him who wilt surely repay, we will have the proud satisfacgion that our Con- stitution and good Government will be placed upon a solid basis where they can never be shaken or pervert- ed. And in the development of our own resources and capacities for self-support by the war, and the dis- eovery of the true worth of our staple prodactions, we can at once command the wealth of the natigns that have so long calumatated and discountenanced us, to come as trib- ute ty us, while we will be in every way self-supporting and indepen- dent. These are not all the bene- fits, but sufficient, perhaps, to show ter abroad, but security and confi-, SE. PO MOTHERS, laid aside by every child, is the conduct of its mother. . 1.

THE WORK GOES ON, = The susning of the mammoth distillery om Salisbury is a plea employed by other violators of the law in nearly all the sur- rounding counties for running smailer es- tablishmeats of the same kind, and tbus the precious grain, so much needed for the eupport of life, is being rapidly consumed to make whisky. In Rowan, Iredell, Y ad- kin, Davidson and perhaps Davie, it is said there are mea openly setting the law at defiance. They are bold men, surely ; for there is not a more stringent law on the statute book. Every violatten of it sub- jects the offender to a fine of $500 and sty days imprisonment, and every day’s operation i¢ held to be a violation of the ~-lam.._Thus, for one week's work, a disti!- ‘ ter would have to pay $3.000 and lie in jail $60 days. Any one whq inférms against a distiller, receives one-half the fine money. We think there ought to be in formers, and that the officers of the law abould see to it that these offenders are brought to a strict account.

BONER. The brown old earth lies quiet and sull Under the snow, The furrows are hid on the broken hill 5 Under the snow, avery (wig is fringed with Mossy peari The drooptag cedars bend to the poug The rose-bush is drifted into a mound, And stillfrom the silent sky to the ground The white flakes huiselessiy whiri. The roade and fields are buried deép Under the snow, The hedges lie in a tangled heap Under the snow, And the tittle grey rabbits under them creep, While the twiltering sparrows cunningly peep From the sheliering hrier and cozily sleep Under the snow. The rough old bara and the sheds near by— The mounded straws of the wheat and rye . Are ‘covered with snow ; Phe straggting fences are softened with down— Every post is white with a beautiful crown Of aifed snow. Aad I think, as I sit io the gloaming here, Watching the objects disappear, How jusuy things are folded low Unser the drifts of the fallhug suow. There gre hearts that once were full of love Under the snow, There are eyes thai once did beain with love Uauder the snow, There are | ps that vace were lika the rose, There are bosoms tha! were stung with woes, The re are forms that once were praised in song, There are breasis that once were true & strong, O, there’s a strange and amighty throng Under the snuw Another mound will once lie deep Inder the snow, And I will with the Pale Ones steep Uuder the snow ! O, God! stream: op my heart Thy grace, That in the love-light of Thy-face I may rejnce when Death snail pass And place my moulderiag body low Unger the suow. ° LACK OF REVERENCEIN THE YOUNG.* The Rev. A. Smith, Commission erof Public Schools in Ohio, in a recent report, makes some forcible remarks apon the want of good man- ners shown by the youth of the pre- gent day, in their conduct toward the aved. After alluding to the de- ference and respect whicirthe youth of former days were taught to extend to their superiors in age and wisdom, he says: ° ; . “ But where,in all our land, does this good old practice now prevail? | Who does not know that bows and courtesies, on the part of our boys and virls, are obsolete ¢ It has been rerparked that ‘there are thousands of boys in this great country not one of whom has ever made a bow, un- less he has occasion th dodge a snow- ball, a brickbat, or a boulder.’ “Some eight orien winters since, ex-Governor Everett, of Masgachu- setts, with the late Ainos Lawrence, was in asleigh, riding into Boston. | As they approacbed a school-house ascore of young boys rushedtinto the street to enjoy their afternoon recess. Said tlie friend, ‘ bet usobserve whether hes: boys wake obeisance ty us as we were taught fifty yearsage.” At the same time he expreseed tie fear that habits of civility were lees practised than formerly. As they parsed the school-hoase, all question and dontr apon the subject received speedy. if not satistactury settlement, for each one of these twenty juvenile New Englanders did his best at snow-balling the wayfaring dignita- ries.” Governer to his A Diertier Dog than Butler.—The Brandon (Miss.) Republican, says : Sherman put up at the house of Mr. E H. Lobard, Esq., during bis stay in Kran- don, and embraced every oveasion to in- guilt the ladies of the house. In speaking to-one of the youny Jadies he remarked that he expected to sea the day when she | would be marned toan intelligent contra band. The young ladies refused to go to the table with bin aud lis staff) when he peremptorily ordered them to be brouyit in and seated beside tiin. He also com pélled them to play aud sing for hin.- “ Williaw,” said a teacher to one of his pupils, “cau you tell me why | the sun rises in the east ?”—Don’t know, sir,” replied William, “ cept | it be that east makes everything rise. Keep your temper in disputes.— The cool bammer fashions the red- hot iron into any shape needed. QUICK WORK.. Buekland, in hig Quriosities of Natural History, tays:—When in Paris I visited the slaughter. ing place at 3; there L saw from fifteen to twenty horses, tied up in row, all to be killed that aay. ¥ wrus told thatsometimes they slay double that namber. The horse being killed and the skin taken off. the carcass is cut ap with hatchets and thrown into a huge tub, big enough to contain the bodies of sev- eral horses ; when it is full, the top is fixed on and steam turned huto it. After a time the lid is again taken off, and it is found that the steainm has quite separated all the flesh frohi the bones, which are beautifully white. The bones are then picked vat and placed in stacks; the fles!) is thrown out by shovels, and spread out widely oa tht floors, to which the air has free aecess.. It-soon be- comes quite bard and dry, and,is then sent off in sacks to the chemist, who, operating on it, se0n cumverts it into Prassiate of potash, and this again into Prusgian blue. The bones are ground. up in a ial for manure; so that in & comparatively short space of time, the horse, having worn out lis euergies i... the services of man, 18 converted one-half into Pras sian blue, the other into loaves of bread through the medium of the wheat which absorbs his powdered skeleton. Thus the Frenchupan prac: tically carries out the threat of his ogre, who, when he sinelt the Eng- lishiman, pronounced the firdlowing anathéma against him : Fe fa fuin ; I smell the bloed of au Englishman, Be he alive or be he dead, | Pil grind his bones to make my breac. | “Gen. Forrest's Affection for his Brother.—A_ correspondent of the Atlanta Appeal says: Near Prairie Mound, between Okolona and Pontotoe, while gal- ,lantly leading a charge, Col. Jeffrey | E.

Invantry, } Ragsevur's Brieaps, Mareb 28, 64, Messrs. Editosrs : We have bad, for several days past, a variety of things to disturb the monotony of camp life. Last week, there fell the heaviest fall of snow that has occurred this winter, and it has diers. Snow bawling was all the rage, and countless battles were fought between different companies, regiments and brig- ades, and there was even ose between ri val divisions, in which officers of high rank, and usually of grave dignity aad decorum, participated. When the snow had melted away, as it did’ a very short time, under the warm and genial sun of | several days that followed, Gov, Vance | came, and since then, we have had the} pleasure vf listening to two of bis inimita~ ble speeches. : On Saturday, he spoke to a very large | audienee of North Cacvlinians at the quar- ters of the 53d reginwat, of Daniel’s brig- | ade, and again on vesterday, to all the | North Carolinians of th 2-1 corps and the | Ist North.Caroliua cavalry. His speech | on Satorday was listened to with marked | attention, and had the effect of cheering in , no small degree, the, |..teuing sqjdiers:— | ! was glad to see, on Saturday, on the »peaker’s stand, 80 many of our chief lead | ers, among them Gens.

But today has been the gala day. It, was proposed on Saturday, that a grand | review of the North Carolinians of this ar- tay corps be held in bonor of the Govern- or, and it came Off yesterday in “all the | pomp and cireumstance of glorious war.” All the brigades and parts of brigades, aaiheg from the old North State, were sat rm fall force, and presented 4 splendid *ppearance, ia military bearing, as weil as | a every thing else that the most ardent well-wisher could desire. The proud ar- ay of the children of old Rip Van Win- xle—-battle-sev:red veteraus—-as they stood in long fine almost as far the eve could reach, with their arms glistening in the light of the noon day sun—or, as wheeled in colamn, in an hundred sab- -livisions, with ballet-rent flays flying, they warched with sdldierly precision around , cue review ground—could vot but iinpress tee observer with the magnitude of the | i] Bower which the old North State wields he io this contest for freedom.

Gen. Rodes and staff, rode down the fives, and the troops then broke into column and marched past the reviewing officers, after which, they ail re paiced to the quarters of the auth N.C... Regiment, where a stand had been erect- ed to hear the speech to be delivered by , the Governor, By dense packing, as thick sé they eould stand, all around, the audi cuce were perhaps evabled to hear the speech, but it was ao littie strain on the! ‘zovernor’s lungs, for them to do so. Your comespondent took po notes---it was im- possibte from the stand potat to du so— and he cannot therefore give anything like a synopsis of his remarks—but as your readers would like to know what the Gov- ernyr talked tous about, we will try to quote some things he said, from memory. The Govetnor was introduced by Gren. Ramseur. He began his speech by res | marking that on Saturday he addressed bis hearers as “ fellow-soldiers,” but on second thought, he recollected that altho’ | he was once a soldier, ia was not one! aow—having skalked out of the service by being elected to a httle office down in!

He was o out and out to any separate State action ; it was unconstitutional, would look like act- ing in bad faith with our Southern sisters; and if attempted, would only make mat- ters worse. He depicted in glowing colors the consequences, that would result from any attempt of the kind; that Lincaln most degrading. terms ; that it was impos- sible, from our geographical position, if from no other cause, to de neutral ; if at tempted, we would have both parties un us; we would soon be in a worse condi- tion than Maryland and Kentucky, tbat we would be compelled to either assist our Southern brethren, or to join Lincola— subrpit to his drafts, pay his taxes, fight our comrades who have fought by our miserable slaves and vassals of the most rotten and corrupt people on the: face of the earth ; that it wopld transfer the seat of war to our own hoines, eause the whole land to become a howling wiklerness, our families outcasts, homeless, and ourselves despised by all, agd our memories handed down in history to be execrated and loath- ed by generatious yet unborn. He beg- ged his hearers to listen not to the syren voice of evil-minded men, who would ad- peace. That if we would onty stand by | our culors, maintain our or.anization and | disdipline. and continue to strike boldly tn the future as in the past—for homé, free- | dom and iudependence— the sun of peace would soon rise in the east and shed its | benign rays over‘our war-worn land. Any | ther course would lead to disaster, diso- | tution and ruia. He said that our proSpects were never | brighter than at present; that the people | everywhere were daily becaming more cheerful and sanguine of our tinal success; that the spring campaign had opened au spiciously, and victory lad already been given us; that our armies everywhere were recruited aud strengthened, ani were fall of hope and confidence ; thas they | were held well in hand by the ablest gen erals the world ever prodnced; and he gave it-as his opinion, thatif we even hold our own, or Were victorious in the pend- ing*campaign, fighting would be virtually ended by the tine the leaves began to fall iy autamn, and finally the war would lan- guisn and die out from the utter exbaus tion and heartlessoess on the part of our foes. Negotiations would theo taks the place of warriors, and the North, dispirit- ed by long and continugd disaster aud ilk | success, would then listen to reason and | dictates of wisdom, and subimit to terns. He. based his opinion on the evi- dent indications of the times.

He begged them never to desert ; he implored thei never to listen to the persaasion or ‘influence of bad men who would persuade them thus to cast a foul stain of eternal dishovor on themselves, and on their pos terity ; and depicted the moral suicide of those who thus dishouored and degraded themselves, in glowing aad eloquent terms. ; In justitication of the people of North Carolina, be told bis hearers, (bey were as true to the Confederacy as any people in the whole laod, although it was intimated to the contrary ; tbat thereWwas little or no disatiection, and there Was not one man tm twenty throaghout the State but whose | whole heart was devoted to the cause, sod would do any thing in their power for their soldiers in the Held.

Phere are some, ourselves among the number, who would gladly avoid the ex- citement and turimotl of a political contest this year in North Carolina. We think | one contest, that with the forees and gov~ ernment of Lincoln, is about enough. But much as we would wish this, we cannot shut ear eyes to the fact that, without Any agency of ours, indeed agninst our earnest protest, the canvass has already commene- ed with an activity that bids fair,-ere the day of election, nuw over four mooths off, to riveb ia excitement aud far exceed in bitterness any of the contests of former | times. We suppose offences must come, | but woe unto those by whom offences come. , . We did not help to elect Gov. Vance, | but he was elected, and the Standard and | its editor, with #3 satellites, took much credit to themselves therefor. Indeed they exalted themselves as it were, aud felt | proud. They crowed and strutted. The! contest then was one into which we enter- ed reluctantly. We tried to avoid jt, but it was pressed ob us, and we could not. The time for another election begins to approach, thoi we caunet bat regret the early opening of the can ass, and this spring Bads us even more op to a| political campaign in North Carolina, than | we were (wo years ago, and more reluc: | tant to engage in one. We are willing to | sulve the difficully by jetting the re-election | of Governor Vance pass over without op positiun, believing it to be, upon the whole, the best thing for the State and for the | country. This is no new position assumed in consequence of Mr. Holden's being acan- didate, although certainly it m not weak ened by that event. When the Progress or its correspondents, talk about tbe ren- | sons fur our favoring the re-election of | Governor Vance, they can be at no loss to find theron. We have stated them even in | this brief article. Permit us, however, | retaliate by asking why they now oppose | Governor Vane ? Let them speak ont | \ boldly and say whathe has done that they | turn against him. They know —every- | ‘ rorthy of dy than the one then t aut supported but now aban. daned-and @ppdsed? Let them take which horn of the di- lemma they please, it must appear either that Governor Vance is a fit mau and that Mr. Holden and his friends are faithless in abandoning and opposing him, or on the other hand that he is an unfit man and that Mr. Holden having supported him’ and pressed ‘him upon the people two fears since, is bimself uoworthy of the public confidence now. The truth is.that thewhole harden both of proof and of contradiction rests with Mr. Holden and Mr. Holden’s friends,— We do not ‘claim to be especial support- ers of Gov. Vance. We certainty arg not partizans. We will support his re-elee” tion for the sake of peace. Why does Mr. Holden o& dp 201 Why does he desert aud oppoee Gov. Vance! Is he so op. posed to peace and barmeny among our- selves ? he prepared to say thyt he two years ago brought forward and vouch- ed for a candidate whom he vannet sup- port! When these things are disposed of, it will be time for us to pay some at- tention to Mr. Holden's claims on the pub- he confidence.— Wil. Journal, rN AAT SALISBURY. N.

Take, for instance, the following extract from an ar- cle on the third page, which, though it appears as a communication, bears the “ear inarks” of Holden bimself: “Mr. Editor, our people, including the sol- diers, want peace. The poor old mother who inourns ber absent soa, and who, for the want ot bis strong aod wilhag arm, chops beg owa wood, and carries her small turn of corn on her lip to mill, and delves and slaves in the field to make a little cora, and lives on dry hread, and fears the day when even bread will not be had, longs for peace.

Afother reason, perhaps, for continuing itin fall amount, in many cases, is the desire to keepthe servants. contented ; but if the ne- cessity for a decrease were frankly stated, or, if need be,-a show of force exhibited by tle Gevernment agents, and if additional supplies of veyeta- bles, or additional privileges of rais- ing poultry, etc., be allowed, we sup- spose the difficulty would be readily obviated. . _ As to the necessity of meat as an artilce of diet to laborers, eveh to thosé engayed jn exhausting toils, we have striking facts which we will lay before our readers. They are extracted from Colman’s “ Eugope- an Agricultore and Raral Economy, from Personal Observation.” QOol- man was a citizen of Massachosetts, and his work, in two handsome vol- umes, was published by Little & Brown, Boston. We are indebt- ed for the opportunity of making these extracts to the kindness of an- agricultural friend. Speaking of the harvest operations in England, tbe writer says: “In the season of harvest, im- mense numbers of Irish come over to assistin the labor, * * * * Nothing can exceed the destitution and squalidness in which they“ are | seen. * * At their first coming, they | are comparatively feeble and inethi- | cien?, but after a week’s tomfortable feeding, they recover strength, in creasing some pounda.in weight, and if they are allowed to perform their work by the piece, they accomplish a great deal.” The following is the food on which , they thus thrive, amid the, severe | labors of the har¢est: “ Their living consisted of oatmeal porridge, anda s:nall quantity of) to elongate, bat it is better to do it! sour milk, or .buttermilk, for break- earlier.

From these extracts, we see on what diet millions upon millions of men, in the two wost civilized coun- tries of Eurepe, subsist themsel¢es from year te year, and from youth to old age. Toiling as laborers are not required to toil here, they yet scarcely know’ the taste of flesh. What they thus endure constantly, we ean sarely endure for a time, when our liberties, Ind all that w dear to us. are at stake!

A prolific and baneful source of the demoralization and dishonesty of onr neyroes, is their insane pas sion for imetating their masters and mistresses it As matter of. dress. like the peasantry or rural popula tion of other countries, the costume of our negroes should be regulated by law, and they should never be al- lowed to array themselves in public in the cast-off finery of their betters. | To a person of refined taste, the airs | and assuinptions of dandified negroes | (inale and female) is most disgust: | ing and offensive ; and their desire | to possess themselves of flashy and | expensive clothing leads to the coin. | mission of nuimberless crimes and immoralities, and seriously ander- mines all proper sabjection aud dis | cipline. | We shall have more to say on this very yrave and momentous question | hereafter; and we are vlad to per- | ceive that ie Grand Jary of Movile | has not overlooked its importance. | We quote fromm one of the papers of this city: } “One great source of temptation to the negro is his love of dress.

We are gaining ground, there is nu kind of doubt about it. We hear no complaints or gruinbiing ; desertions, with rare exceptions, are bumbered among the thiugs that were, and the encouraging newa from all points of the Confederacy, and from othe North also, have breathed ‘oto our. soldiers a oonfidence not easily shaken.

Clcamp, where'a stand had been prepared for the occasion, and around which the immense multitude gathered in regular milftary order. The stand was located in a small hollow, three sides of which descend gradually to the centre, thus forming a kind of natural am- phitheatre which was literally jammed with human souls from the base to the summit. Perhaps a dozen ladies were present, some on horseback and others in ambulances ; but these unsuspecting and modest visi- tors, though thrice welcome to the audi ence , were, nevertheless, a serious stum- bling block fo the speaker when relating some of his most appropriate and best an- ecdotes ; some of which to my certain knowledge he paraphased, mutilated, regaré to the s@sibilities of he gentler ones who composed a small ) not insignficant portion of his auc > and these few, when they belong tqf§e upper circles, as all intelligent ladies dy always have a very nice perception of thggmean- ing avd application of words in @jatever sense they may be used. The speaker knew this of course and spiced b@gsories accordingly, the result of which, j me instances, was exigemely ladicro the reader may well imagine. After some stirring music from the 4th N.

Our camp looks bright and cheerful, the sol- diers are unusually merry and full of fun, while flocks of old robin red breasts trot ‘about on the ground, occasionally stopping to turn up their white ringed eyes and ivor} bills in an independent, saucy way, 4s much as to say as plain as words could express it “ Touch me if yuu dare.” Nasiyns efa move except an order to send surplus bagyage to the rear, which is gen- erally pretty good evidence of a storm brewing.

NAT. THE FOURTH YEAR OF THE WAR. To-day we enter upon the fourth year of the war—dating from the bombardnent of Fort Sumter. We have withstood three years the on- ughter followed this anecdote: esets of a foe mighty in nambers, the reader can see the application.) “Well,” | boundless in resources, desperately pertinacious and remorselessly cruel. More than two millions of men on land and a navy equal to half a mill- ion mofe, with the most approved inachinery of war, and at an outlay of several thousand millions of dol- lars, have furiously striven to over- whelm and “crash” us. At the out- set, so ignorant were our foes of the spirit and strength of onr people, that they confidently expected to consummate in three months and with a force less than the numbers unexpected it is true to many of his beat- | them to mind from memory, but I find | they have actually had slain in bat- tle what the frantic efforts of three years have only served to show they jean never accomplish, in any pum- ber of years and with any hosts they can muster, That, mainly from their uncontested command of the water, they have won important ad- vantages, in this long period, is not to be denie&—but that they have fallen infinitely sbort of their confi- 1864...

So vast is our area, and go numerous the strategic and defensive points it . furvishes, the losa of any only necessitates a change vf position on our pari, and leaves the enemy to contemplate the failure kad all the calctilations based upon the prospect. of winning it.— The expected reaults of mecca have always. eluded them, and the fruits of victory have turned to ashes op their lips. They have nowhere touched the vitals of the Confedera- rey, and ever can ; for tho Confede- racy bas no one point in which its life is lodged. Every portion of it is instinct with existence — every modntain and valley and plain throbs with inextingnishabie vitality. As long as ground enough is left- to plant battery or set a squadron in the field, the vital point of the Con- federacy is not touched. The question of most interest with us now is not whether the enemy can succeed in their undertaking— if, indeed, that ever was a question— bat how nae longer they will per- sist-in the mad attempt. The im- pression generally prevails that the campaigu which we are now enter- ing is the last—that the death grap- ple has come, and the straggle muct soon be over. The army makes no calculations. With grim humor and gay defiance worthy of the cavalier stock from which they come, our soldiers volunteer for ‘‘forty years or the’ war.” But civilians indulge themselves in speculations, the fail- ure of which cannot affect men who take none. Whether the fourth year of the war will be the final one depends mainly upon the incidents of the campaign. We leave out of view the possibility of other things always possible—such, for instance, as the long delayed, but inevitable, financial crash at the North, of which the upward tendenoy. of gold there, in spite of all Chase’s thimble-rig- ging. affords improving prospect— the counter revolution that bas beet hoped for, and of which the late out- break in Hlinois is prophetic—for- eign intervention, rendered more likely of late by the hostile demon- stration in Washington towards the Eoropean arrangements for Mexico: we leave these out of the calculation, and speak ouly of military contin- gencies. Our opinion is, that if the cainpaign is a saccestful one to us, it will end the war, though it may not bring immediate peace—peace settled by Essie and declared by proclamation. e do not see how it is possible for the enemy, if at the end of four years of such gigantic cembat as we have had they find recognition and finally our triumphal | march home; bappy greetings, jovous : meetings and bliss ivexpressible, almost inconceivable awaited the soldier who is | faithful to the end. { He was done, and as the speaker took | his seat three loud and ‘prolonged cheers | were given for the Governor of the Old | North State, followed by lively and stir- ! ring music from the bands.

The Question in Congress— Yankee Senators declare unequivocally for +t, and admit that the War is to enforce it— Debate in the U. States Senate. [Abridged from the Congressional Globe, Washington. ] Mr. Sumner. I offer the following re~ solutiqn, and asked for its present éunsid- “ Resolved, That the Committee oa the District of Columbia be directed to con- sider the expediency of further providing by law against the exclusion of colored persons from the equal enjoyment of all tailroad privileges in the Barerict of Co- lumbia.” . f Mr. Sumner. An officer of the United States with the commission of Major, with the uniform of the United Stated, has beeo pushed off one of the cars on Pennsylva- aia avenue by the conductor for 20 other offence than that he was black. Now, sir, I am free to say that I think we had better give up railroads in the District of Columbia if we cannot have them without such an outrage upon humanity and upon the good name of our country. An inci- dent like that, sir, is worse for our country than a defeat in battle. It makes for our cause abroad enemies and sows distrust. I hope that the Committee on the District of Columbia will take care that such safe- guards are established as will preveut the repetition of any sach outrage. Mr. Wilkinago. I was in hopes, and indeed | thought, there was some mistake about this, because I did not know that any colered persons were commissioned with the rank of major by the President of the United States; and I was in hopes, for the honor of the country and for the honor of the capital, that there was some Mistake in regard to it. Mr. Sumner. He was asurgeon in the military service. . Mr. Hendricks. It seems to be consid- ered a gre@ outrage that the negroes in the District of Columbia are not allowed to take their seats in the cars with the white men and women who travel on the railroads of this city. If I were to ex- press any opinion on the subject, I should say thegputrage would be the other way. There are cars furnished for the colored people of the District, and those cars are plainly indicated, se that there can be no mistake. The difficulty, 1 supposey bas arisen because the negro declined to ride io the cars that are provided for persons of his color, and claimed the right to ride in the ears that are provided for the white ny the ejection of this colored officer from the car necessarily - brings the capi- tal, or any other Senator, = " Mr. Wilson. This is @ case that 1 think calls for the action of Congress. I know no right that this company has to make these distinctions bere in the eapital, where all persons are free and equal before the law. The truth about it is, sir, that slave ry bas bad its corrupting and malign in- fluences upon the country. The country will yet, however, be abolitionized ard civilized and humanized, but it must be abolitionized before the high civilization or the bigh humanity will come. It is all going well aod right now. Mr. Hendricks. The Senator says that abolitionism is to do its work, and oue of its works, as I understand from him, is to bring about social equality. 1 presume be means also political equality. 1 am satisfied, sir, that the Senators have now declared the end to which we are to come and that by the action of the Federal Gov- ernment the social as well as the political equality of the negro is to be forced upon tbe white race. If that be the judgment of the country we shall have to accept it. The people that I represent in this cham- ber have not yet adopted that sentiment. The distinction between the two races is yet maintained in Itdiana. We are , content that equality, social and political, of the black race shall be forced upon us; and I am gted now that in plain terms the two distinguished Senators from Massa- chusetts and. the Senator from Minnesota have told the country that this is the end we aré lo come to, that this war is not on ly for the freedom of the negro but for the equality of the negro socially as well us politically. The question being taken by ayes and noes, resulted ayes 30, noes 10. Those who voted nay (ugainst the reso- lution) were Messrs. Buckaluw, Davis, Har- ding, Hendricks, Nesmith, Powell, Rich ardson, Riddle, Saulsbary and Van Win- kle—10.

As some planters have grown broom corn, it may not prove amiss to give # few hints about bow to make brooms, The best way is to pull to pieces an old broom; but, as everybody may not be able to do this, 1 will give the most im- portant steps. Procure some strong twine or string. Bore a hole in the end of the handle aad make one end of this twine or atripg fast either in this bole ‘or any other way; fasten (he other end to any convenient place or object, then ‘holding the handte jn the band pot the brush closely around the Nandie, turning the handle a little and fastening each sjraw tightly with the twine. When the straw has been thus put al] around, wind the twine tightly two or three times around it,, cut off the ends or butts a little above the ring of twine, then wind the twine obliquely and tightly alitth up the handle, until far enuugh to put on the second and last cow of straw; put that on like the first or lower row, wind the twine three or four times tightly around and fasten the end either by a tack driven through a knot in the twine or by a neat staple.— Then press the broom a few ivches below the end of the handle between two sticks or any other contrivance, pass a couple of bands of twine around it, and fasten them ‘in .place by stitching them through the brocm, and the broom will be finished. — Fastening thg further end of the twine to some object and drawing the twine tight- ly by holding only by the bandle will be found to save the bands from blistering, besides enabling the twine to be drawo much more tightly.— Southern Cwlitiva- tor.

Com- panies ought to be formed in every State for the building of these machines on a large scale, and the distribation of them among the wives and families of soldiers in the country dependent for sopport on their own labor, This would be true and intelligent charity. A woman and little child can readily make from ten to fifteen dollars a day by one of these machines. They can be manufactured, by machine- | ry, ata trifling cust.

Gid- dings was censured for offering resolutiont declaring that the slaves of the Creole had a right to raise and assert their native freedom. The Democrats voted in a solid body for it, and he. re-produced the case as a Democratic precedent in regard to an Abolitionist. We. dotot hear so much of the crack of the slavebolder’s whip as we did four years ago. The genileman from Maryland (Mr. Harris) said that he was willing to take all the sins of slavery. Every one of the slaves of tye member ij had a note against bim with compound 4 intergst. Mr. Lovejoy, the Abolitionist, had his seat in Heaven, but the gentle- man from Maryland would not have one near him.

Mr. Grinnell concluded his remarks, - Mr. Rollins, of ‘Missouri, said his heart had been filled with sadness at tlie notes of party sounding here. ‘It seemed that all was for party and nothing fur the coun- try. But for the resolution introduced by the Speaker ofthis House, the speech of the gentleman from Ohio would have been forgotten like many others ; now, how- ever, it would be read by thousands who otherwise would never have beard of it. He telied on the discriminating sense of the country, and did not apprehend the speech would produce harm. If the coun- try was to UM stricken down by sucha speech a’ that, jt ought to perish.

He says that he is able to do duty, and being a non-prodn- cer at home, fecls that he ought to go back to the army instead of re- maining here in idleness. This is a piece of self-sacrificing patriotism as raré as it is refreshing, and which stands out in contrast to the conduct of the Inany skulkers in the country who have been dodging the servide from the “ word go.” .

Especially do we commend what we say to the re- | flection of all those in affluent cir- cumstances, who have not yet ‘felt what it is to be even stinted in their daily comforts and who are stran- gers to the necessity of the duty of self-devial. he article to which we refer, is as follows: All over this Confederacy, the houseless, homeless, wandering re- fagees may be sccn.- Old grey-head- ed men, womeu and children, are the classes which mostly compose the wandering company. They have been driven from their homes by the ruthless and barbardus invaders, preferring poverty and suffering among strangers, to a sacrifice. of their principles, and submission to the despot’s het]. We have reason to know that there is at present an amount of suffering among them startling in magnitude, but anknown to the great body of the people among whom they sojourn. Bat they heroi- | cally submit to it, and uumumuringly endure privationsand want. It seems almost strange, but it is true, that they are the mostcheerful and hope ful class in almost every communi- ty.

Tc the ju- diciary, to the courts, pertains the right of deciding apan qnestione in- volving the constitutionality of laws passed by the legielatare. Now, the very acts against which these gen- tlemen enveiyh as naconstitutional, have been sustained as constitution: al by the supreme judical tribunals | of all the States in which the issue has been raised, hot excepting the States of Georgia and North Caro lina. In North Carolina ne actual decision has been made by the Sa- preme Court tn bane, but: the sep- arate action of two of the three judges of which the Court is’ com- posed. leases no doubt of the posi- tion of that tribunal, and indeed no doubt is raised on any hand. Remember, these are not Confed- erate Courts. They are the Courts of Sovereign States. They are made separately and independently. Do thesé political gentlemen, who are raising a bubbub over what they call the nanrpations of the Conted- erate government, reflect that they themselves are attacking the validity of decisions made by the judigery of the States of the Confederacy, their own included {—that they are aiming blows at the foundations of civil government—calling in ques- tion the purity of the Jadges—im- pugning their motives and sceking to usurp their functions? Is this notso? and all this is done under the pretext of resisting the usarpa- tians of others!

But, sir, I desire to iinpress npon the winds of the people that be- tween you and Mr. Stephens there is a vast difference. ~ Mr..

Batin | Your case, yon not only supported | Breckinridge knowing him to be the secession candidate for the Presi- dencey—you not only opposed the election of Bell and Douglas, who were against secession—but snbse- quutly, after you came out in oppo- sition to secession [when it was too late to calm the storm,] you again caine forth as its champion, and asking the voters of Wake to elect you to the secession Convention, they did so; and_you not only voted to pat the State out of the Union, but (mark it,) you pledged “the last dollar and the Jast mau” to the Con- |federacy, For & year or more you | were the eulogist of President Davis and his adiministration—you spurned the idea of reconstruction, and time and again you said that he who fa- vored making overtures or any pro- position of negotiation with the Lincoln Governgnent for peace, was a traitor to the Seuthand merited a traite’s doom. ‘Time and again you declared that the South eould not ~ b ment, df, sir, yon are.'true to the Siz: [perceive ftom the “Raleigh land of:your birth and the Southern Progress” —a paper which advocates ¢a4ée, Why are all the deserters and . 7 re baffaloes, and ~ reconstructionists; your adinirers?

CATO. SURPRISED BY THE ENEMY, A ratber unpleasant rumor has reached Abingdon from General Hodge’s com- mand, .on its late expedition into Kentucky —The information of the Abingdon Vir ginian. is that after skirmishing with a su- perior force of the enemy at Paintville, Gen. Hodge fell back a few miles, turned his horses out to ,razg and laid ‘down to rest. In this condition they were sur- prised by the enemy, who &pproa@hed from an unexpected and unguarded direc- tion. The consequence was the command was scattered and stampéded, and several killed, wounded and captured. Among the wounded was Lieut. Col. Clay, who was also captured. About'a hundred‘are reported missing. No doubt is entertained of the suprise, though it is believed the rumor is geners ally exaggerated. Gen. Hodge, we pre- sume, is the late member of Congress from Kentucky. , LIEUT. GEN. HOLMES. It is reported’ that Lieut. Gen. Holmes, recently on duty in Arkansas, has been as- /tiake overtures tyr peace without }signed to duty in North Caroliua, bis humiliating herself and enceurag- ing the enemy to fight on. That I do bot misrepresent yoa, the reader /can see by reference to your paper. By-and-by, however, [as fortunes in.war grew worse,] you began to cry out for peace and call for ne- gotiations—you- became the advo- cate of “overtures” which you had declared no man but a traitor could make, and which you had said would ‘not only dishonor and degrade us, bat encourage the enemy. Grad- ually you found fault with the Ad mnitistration for this act and that.— Yon encouraged wholesale ‘tions from the artny, and the fact is! of record that many who have been | shot for desertion attribute their fate to your teachings. You caused to be held public meeiings that lavish ed the most fulsome praise upon | yourself, and-clamored for peace by negotiation, or a Convention to put the State back into the old) Union.

Ou Thursday evening, acegrding to px pointment, our excellent Governor arrived here, accompanied by two men vers of his Staff. He was wet vear the town limits by the Mayor and Committee of arrange- aments aad touducted’ to the Fayetteville Hotel, where he was received with cheers by a large crowd of citizens. The Mayor addressed to bim a warm and hearty wel- come to our town, very appropriate in its matter aod manner, to which the Govern. or responded briefly but appropriately and acceptably, making no long speech because, as he said, he bad already spoken during the day two hours and traveled 38 miles. He alluded handsomely in closing, to the glorious news be had heard. on bis arrival here, of the complete suecess of tlre expe- dition of North Carolina troops under that gallant North Carolina officer, Gen. Hoke, in the capture of Piyaqouth and its yankee arrison. Conducted fo the Parlors of the Frotel, many citizens and ladies called to pay their respects, and were cordially re- maton pee a would stand between of thie Com federary and the other, eutting it in sunder, Itw be impossible to keep them from fvossing her territory with troops and sup- lies. is would lead to war. And thén North Carolina, before she could have gotten out of the war with Liucoly, would have a new war upon her hands—a war with her friends and neighbors, identified with her in interest aad iustitutiqns, #fd bound to her uy the glories of a hundred battle fields in whieh they had fought side by side. © It would be my duty, said the Governor, to issue a proc- lamation to our soldiers, informing them that our State had deserted her sisters and thet they must come bome to fight against their brothers in arms. I will die before I'll issue sach a proclamation ! But if the State were to join Lincoln—an unsupposable case—that would not be peace. Her sons would be forced inte the yankee ar- mies, her treasure required by taxation to support them. Is there a man who would not prefer that his son sbould falt gloriously wm battliug for our rights and liberty, rather than to meet such a dishonorable ‘fate ? | To take the State out of the Coufecderacy | is the ouly thing that a Convention can do more thaw can be done by the Legislature.— The State cannot negotiate until it is out of the Confederacy; and everything short ot that the Legislature can do—do as consplete- ly'as a Convention. A Convention may ad- vise the Confederate government to endeavor « ceived by the distinguished guest, who had A warn grasp aud a pleasaat word for ail who approached him. Friday was a gala day in our towb,— +Business was suspended ; crowds trouged the streets, from town, county, and neigh boring counties—Chatham, Moore, Robe~ son, Bladen, Sampson, and we know not | how many other counties, beiug represent- ed. One boy was pointed out who had walked 28 miles to bear the Governor.

So can the Legistature, and so it po denbt will do, aud 2 will heartily unite With it in the récommendation. A Couxention would be omposed of the same the same men — ai alike fresh from the people and representing their wishes. Why ‘does anybody, therefore, want a Convention, in-addition to the Legislature which we have and must have. unless it be with a view toa new secession? The aslvovates of a Conven- tion deny that such is their purpose. Do not be deceived by such professions. It is that or nothing. e The Governor next spoke of lis competi- Hon. Thomas C.

THE SPEECH. Upon reflection we have concluded that it would scarcely be necessary to attempt any- | thing like a full report of this speech, since it would be shorn of much of its beauty and | point by any but a regular, practiced Repor- er, such’as the one who did such full justice to the Wilkesboro’ speech, and since it is said the Governor will nmake as thorough a cany as his time and engagements will permit, in ss the course of which the people of nearly all | parts of the State will be enabled to receive from the Governor's own eloquent lips the words of truth and patriotism and encourage- ment which he pours oyt from a soul abound- ing with great and patriotic tmopulses. He commenced by acknowledging the core pliment conveyed by the assemblage of such a great number of bis fellow-eitizen’. It should be his ambition to prove hituself wor- thy of their coufidence. As one of “the powers that be, which are ordained of God,” be came to speak, earnestly and truthtuliysof | the state of our country, and of our duties and responsibiliues. This is dae crisis of our fate. Before the now budding leaves shall bave withered and talien, our fate will be de- @idei.

The sufferings and privations of tie succeeding three years have brought a need of a differ- | ent spigt—a brave, pure, unselfish patrivtisn, willing to act, to suffer, and even to die for the country. Having this spirit, we bave no- thing to fear. and trae, and willing to’ encoanter suffering ! and death. diers. If you can endure suffering, in patient | hope, we shall cogguer. If you fail, the cause will fail, and desefvedly fail: when selfishness deserts a cause as sacred as ours, Everybody wants peace. Tne gray-haired | father and mother, weeping for their fallen | sons; the widowed mother, gazing upon her | children; the loving wife, anxions for the re- | turn of her absent and endangered husband. | all, all, want peace. People, pray for it, the } eoldver fights for it—the soldier never draws a trigger that is not for peace. How shall we secure the great blessing? Some say it is to | be donedy the State taking herself out of the | Confederacy, as she did out of the oid Union. But this would not be peace, nor lead to peace | but to new and bloodier wars. The State bas delegated to the Confederaté Government the sole right to declare war and make peace.— While in the Conte leracy, therefore, the State cannot make peace or negotiate for it. To do this, sapposing Teucoln were ready and wilitng to negotiate, the State must first re- call the rights of sovereignty which she has The only mode by which 3 can be done, ts to secede agaiu, to desert lier co Sates and set up for herself. Would that be Peace, or bring vested in the Confederate Government. peace? = Lt would be a fatal delusion to sup- pose so.

It was used in India many hundred years before the bigth of Clrist.— Liven seems to have been used still. earlier in the embalment of mam- mies, as Dr. Uure bas wade certain by microscope examination. The \arger sa ee glass shows that the germ or beginning fibre of cat- ton wool isan exceedingly fine trans- parent tube, while that of_linen isa chain in links looking like a fine corkscrew, and which latter be found on all examined mummies. Pliny the elder, who was a cotemporary Ti at Ba — ‘ with our Saviour, says—and I use’ his words—“In Upper Egypt, on the coast of Arabia, there grows a shrab which some call gossypium, others ulyou. The plant is small, and pro- duces a fruit like a walnut, covered with a woolly substance, within which is asoft silky wool, that is spun into thread. The clothes made | of this substance are superior to all others in whiteness and softness, and of these cloths the rvobés most ‘ acceptable to the Egyptian priests are wade.” This must have been the black seed or long staple cotton, as he afterwards speaks of the bolls of it haying three compartments, which is the case with that seed, while our green seed, or short staple, has generally four. It is probable also to have been first used, as its wool is more easily separated from its smooth seed by the hand, the 2 a ee Hernando Cortes, in 1520, found the same plant growing wild in Mexico, and its weaving carried to much perfection, feathers, occasion- ally being woven in with it, and Cig ea l oc c a as ca e d a a n a e n e i m m n i e n l only cotton giv then probably used. | but slow progress for the first one hundred and sixty_years, till the improvement of Hargreaves in 1767 of the spinning jenny, by which one person spun 120 threads at once, being the work previously of 120 ands. This machine could not twist a thread tight. enough for the warp, but. which was two years after ef- fected by Arkwright’s ‘spinning frame. ‘Three years after Compton combined these two improvements, hind set ene hundred spindles iu mo- tion, the power driving it being band labor, and this Kelly soon after changed by waking the motive power the waters of the Clyde, and this the cele! rated Watt also chang- ed, making the nrotive power steam: Roberts soon after thig dispensed with the person at the spinning frame by substituting machinery. These vdrious jmprovements in the short space of about ten years, made the present day, drawing, twisting and winding its thousands of threads with perfect ‘accuracy and incredi- ble speed, a scene of magie to the unfamifiarized eye. This carried the mere spinning nearly to perfection. The next great want was to have this thread cheaply woven, and this ‘was supplied by the skill of Dr. Cartwright, a clergy@nan of Kent, ‘in the inveution of the celebrated | power loon. These truly great iin- | provements and discoveries carried | both: spinning and weaving nearly | to perfection. portion of all this is’ furnisbed by of America.

The account’ is from the clergyman’s own lips. He says he was working in his garden planting Irish potatoes, when a Yankee rode up, sword in hand and belted with pistols, and present- ed an order for him to appear. be- fore the Provost Marshal. Getting | permission to change bis clothes, he started off. The Yankee’ tried to make him double quick, but he only went as fast as he pleased. Arriv- ing at the Provost Marshal’s office, |he stood before him with folded arms, and looking sternly at bim, when the following conversation en- sued: Provost Marshall.—You are par- son R., I bebieve ?” R.—“I am the Rev.— R., Episco- pal minister.” at ' P.

M.—“You are charged being a secessionist.” R.—“I am, sir; and have been ever since 1832, when Gen. Jackson issued his proclamation against S.

Stephens, in the consultation which preceded the Preparmiva of the message. Admitting the power in Con- gress Lo suspend, be attacks the.mode and mMabwer of suspension, “and the point of bis arguivent is to show that the act of Congress is uncoustitutioual, in view of the maboer in which the privileges of the writ bave been suspeuded, The argument of Mr. Stephens’ may be briefly stated thus: “ke priviieges of the writof habeas corpus may be suspended by Congress, bat in doing 80, no man shall be dk prived of bis liberty, wihout dae process of law, nor shall avy man be jsulj-cted to seizure, exeépt ou probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation. It will be observed that, according to this argutyent, vides fur the tinprisonment of any person “without due process of law ;” und vo sus- pension is constitutivnal which provides for an arrest, except for probable cause, “supported by oath or affirmation.” This arguinent is based upon the two following provisions of the Coustitutson; Ist. “Ng perseo shall be deprived of iufe, liberty or property tweithout due process of law.” 2a. “Tbe tight of the people to be secure in their pyrsous, Avuses, papers and effects, j agalost unreascuable searches and seizurcs, \ shall wot be violated, and no warrants shall j issue, Lut upoo probable cause, supported by wn oath or affirmation, and particularly desenbing tbe place to be searched, and the persuns or things, to be seized.” “Due process of law,” aceurding to the arguipent of Mr. Stepliens, means a judi- cial Proceeding. Therefore, all arrests, not based apou warrart issued by some Judicial officer, is unconstitutional, though authorized by an express act of Congress. Now, let us test the truth and correct- ness of the argument, by the doctrines nud practices. Qyth of the Coufederate and Slate Governments—Gov. Brown, Mr. Stephens and the ballanes of mankind.— Both Governmeouts Lave resorted to. im pressincits of property fer the public use ; thats, they bave authorized their officers lu seize Lae property of the eitizens for the use of the Goveruinent.

Patting her hand iuto the basket, she felt sowething alive and kicking, sq wrapped up in rags that no further diseovery could be made without unwrapping the object. A piece of r folded tike a letter lay by the side of the animated bun- die. Mrs. Stanbury immediately returned into the house, and by the light of the lamp examined the bil- let. It was directed to her husband. She tremuleusly broke the seal and ‘and read as follows : .

To lish this design, they declare that it is both the rigb¢ aod the duty of Congress to confiscate tbe pro- perty of our people, both real and person- al, aod apportion it among their soldiers and freedmen—our slaves, whom they have stolen aud liberated, They propose to take the arms frofm the whites and put them in the -hands of the blacks: they propose to extend the right of suffrage to the blacks, while armong the whites itis be restricted to those who have been hostile to their country throughout the war. In short, in their blind, vindictive rage, they would make of our country one vast ruin, so hideous, that far down into the coming ages of mankind it may stand as a ghastiy warning to deter the rash patriot, that would claim freedom asa birthright or republican government as a heritage. War may cover ibe land with sorrow aod mourning; but peace, on the terms of submission, would cover itewith the blackness of the shadow of death. War | bas still the blessing of hope; butin such \ a peace there js only, the darkness of des pair.

Doubtless you are looking for her now in the rear of that place— When they entered the Sound and got ubout twenty miles.from the mouth of the Roanvuke, they were attacked by twelve large steamers, (Yankee) four of them mau of war. The bunk our little gunboat the first fire and thok the crew. prisoners numbering’about tweoty- five men. Bat. the ironclad stood ihe test.— The enemy fought her at Very close quarters, poured broadside after broadside upon her with about eighty guns at a the; but she would give them her two guns in return. ‘They even ran their vessels apon the bow and stern of our boat ; but she would shake them off und rally to her work uguin. They tried to blow her up with torpedoes, bat fuiled to hurs Her. The fight lasted three hours till dark, when our glorivus jittle ram with her brave crew steamed back to this place, the enemy not dar- ing to follow. The Albemarle sunk three of their large steamers besides denmging three or four more. She was hurt but very little. Her smoke stack was riddled so that ber cummand- er, Capt. Cooke, egald wot get draft enough to raise steam and this compelled him to retarn. Ta dving so he had to bure all his bacon, lard and oil’ to taise steam. The Albemarle was struck sizty-two times ons shot of which hurt her—bre aking both bars uf a portion of her ar- mor—or rather, breaking one bar and driving in the second which spliutered the wood on the inside afd wounded four of the crew slightly — so slightly that they continded their duties. One of the Albemarle’s guns had some three feet Knocked off the muzzie at the first fire bat she fired forty six rounds in her’ brokgn condi- tion. Capt. Cooke said the Confede rac$ might congratulate itself on the safe return of the Albemarle to Plymouth. ‘The Yankees tried to throw a keg of powder down her smoke stack to blow her_up bat failed. They tried 40 drop an | anefor on her propeller to stop her. It was ut | this point that our men shot the whole stera off the yankee man of war engaged in the work, and it wasa grand sight lo see her go down, though in but twenty feet water. This vessel had five two handred pound rifle guns on her, five cleren inch Dahlgren gans, and two other large gunsin her bow and stern. We also sunk the Miami, another lurge ves- | sel carrying ten gans, and Capt. Cocke thinks the (hird vessel was the Eutaw.

SRSamecear mm BLANK DEEDS, FOR SAEK ’ AT THIS OFFICE. i i uh 4g g eh a From the Fayotte ville Obeciver. A SULBJUGATED PEOPLE. We copied some weeks-agadrom the Richmond Examiner some vety able arti-’ cles exhibiting the intolerable condition of the people of Poland and Ireland after their subjugation. It was an appro- priate warning to tie peaple of the Con- federacy of their owu fate if they should ever be 80 feolish and base as to permit their own subjugation. ‘Tbe warning may be repeated fram experience nearer bome. A late nurober of the “ Norfolk Regime,” the official paper of Beast Butler and Wild, is said to contain about sixty orders on various subjects, some of which show the Sondition of Norfolk as a sabjugated place. One of these orders recites that W. H. H. Hodges, Casbier of the Merchants aad Mechanics Savings Bank, had sent away into the Confederacy the funds belonging to be bank, and refused to disclose the meo and means by which he had sent them, wherefore, says the order, “ Lt is or- dered that he be confined at hard labor at Fort Hatteras Island, upon the coast of North Carolina, upon bread and water, with a twenty four pound ball attached to his leg by a chain uot more than six feet long. woul he answers the questions, and that he'stand committed to the guard house until he is remoyed on board the transport to be conveyed to Fort Hatte ras in execution of this order.” A horrible punishment for honestly en- deavoring to save the money entrusted to him from the clutches of one who, like Butler, had made himself notorious for his inmmense stealings while commanding at New Orleans. The Rev. George M. Bane, Sen., casb ler of another Savings Bank, for the same offence of * refusing to disclose his accom: plices” in removing $43,000 of its fonds to Richmand, was senienced to bard labor at Fort Hatteras until he does answer the questions, and itis added, “No further punishment is pat upon him in considera- sion of his age.” A Minister of the Gos- pel apd an old man, sentenced to hard la- bor op a desert island, a sand bank, for doing his duty by those who had trusted bim with their money, to preserve it from being stolen! Next we see that the Rev. C. L. Wood- worth, Chaplain of <7tb Massachusetts re- giment, is by formal order assigned to the pulpit of the Presbyterian chureh in Nor folk, made vacant by Wild's having de. posed the former Pastor, the Rev. Jas. D. Armstrong, D. 1), on account of bis syr- pathy with the Confederacy. So the peo- ple of a subjugated town are vot at liber- ty to select their own Ministers to preach the gospel to them, but have one appoint ed by military authority, coming frown a region noted for its ungodliness, and for its hostility to every thing that the people of Norfolk respect and venerate! They would doabtless rather have no Minister at all than such a coe; but if they show (heir feeling by staying away from church they will doubtless pay for it by oppress lons and insults. : : Next, we find an order banisbing “Chas. W. Buttz, Attorney at Law, so called.” for “ having applied abusive and contemptu- ous language to me and to an officer of my stath” says Gen. Wild. Noble revenge for abuse and contempt! and Staff! It isa pity that Buttz did not kick them both and pull their noses while be was about it, for they would have re- sented these indignities in the same val- iant way. Tbrave General Next is an order that no auctioneer, commission merchant. or other person, a 2 1 Y dealing in and Selling personal property of any description, thall sell or transfer any such property without. first reporting | ' ib person a correct schedile of the proper~ ty. 02 pain of fine and tinonsoninent !

At the Charleston Convention he became alarmed at his own work—saw, for the first time. that the Union was doomed; and thére and then he appeared to waver, and set op a show of conservatism The Stortn he bad labored so Jong to raise was gathering its black and furious clouds from every quarter. The sharp lightnings of in- furiated passion, and the far distant groans of thundering war, filled hiin with quaking and trembling. He then pleaged for the Union, a thing he had neyer done before, ex- cept as it was coupled with conditions which were now hopelessly vain ‘ But he was too late. But he was not conzistent even with his! auew-born love of the Union: for he after- wards sopported Breckioridge and Lane for the Presideney—the very tKcket which Mr. Avery helped to put in nomination —the sepession ticket in 1860?

In all the cities, towns, and villages of our land, the people, great and small, want “Nuts to crack.” In or dinary times, large quantities are consumed aud — except the Peean—hardly a uthe of them are the product of our own country. Nearly all of them, with ooly a tittle care and attention, will grow Juxuriantly in any part of the Confederate States.

" Cyuld not the English Walnut and the Pecan be grafted on the common Hicko ry, aud thus bring them into bearing much sooner than by planting the Nuts? The Spanish Chesnut, much larger than our own (L presume from cultivation.) is quite easily grown, aud comes into bear. ing early.

HWOLDEN.—For, as the edito; of a paper wh taught secession from 1850, up to the time he , was defeated fur public printer, Mr. Hoicen did more to ‘fire the Southern hoart” and io i precipitate the Cotton Xtites into revolu- fion,”? than either Mr. Yancey or Mr Avery In inaking this statement we oniy vindicate the trath of history, But Mr. Holden says that Vir isa Destructive, supports Gov Vanes. avd . therefore, Gov’ Vanee has gone over tothe De- structives.

It is not as easy to recite the pretended causes which Lincoln’s government set up for this renewed interruption of the exchange, as to guess at the true one. The term of enlistment of the prisoners in our hands is al- most expired, and there is not one in ten willing to re-enlist, and there- fore their government.is inc‘fferent about getting them back. On the other hand, the Confederate prison- ers'in their hands are ‘$n for the war,” and gointo the ranks almost immediately after an exchange.

Lee’s Arwy.— We are now beginning to comprehend the terrible significance of a phrase which has been in very frequent use for a long time—“the destruction of Lee’s army.” How little the public real ized the fall import of the words or of the thing. How little they comprehended the havoc in our own army which the effort must cause. Lee's army was a Luge, strong, compact, fierce, ferocious mass. It was energized by bate, hardened by ex- perience, toughened by time, and severely disciplined. It was determined not to be destroyed. Last week, however, we be- gan to try it.

J -unston County.—We see an advertise- ment in the Conservative newspaper anvouuec- ing Messrs. Sanders, Woodall and Avera, the present members, as the Vance candidates for Johusion. If this annowncement be by nathori- ty, it places Messrs. Woodall and Avera in a very extraordinary positiea, for we know that they were both strong supporters of the claiase of Mr. Holden to a very recent period, both of them having assured us that be would get Leach’s vote in that- county. If they have espoused the cause of Gov. Vance it only re- mains for the Conservatives of Johnsioo to get oat a ticket composed of genUlenen that will bread”—a perfect’ roar follo ajor Turser, Qapt.

The Richmond WaAtg proposes that there shall be @ record of infa- ny Opeued iu every couuty,in whieh to enrol the names of the disloyal. It desires a record of this kind for the immediate benefit of those who are pitching large crops of tobacco for the sake of making money while thousands are stinted for thé neces- saries of life. Mr. Holden himself is rich, and ghe made the most of his money when he was the tool of the secessionists, and engaged in abusing and slandering such good whigs as George E. Badger, William A. Graham, Edwin G. Reade, Johu A. Gilmer, Jobn M. Morehead, aod many others we might mention. We repeat, Mr. Holden is rieb, and be made his money while he was a Conservatives.

Wad pErne Co] eRe ee ne ° MINORITY REPORT UPON) TRE SUBJRCT OF THE SUSPENSION OF THE WRIT OF HABEAS GOR. PUS. _ The undersigned, one of the committee on the part of the Senate, to whom was véferred that portion of the Governor's Message touching the repeal of the act of Buspehdiag the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus not concurring in the views embodied in the resolution sub- mitted by the chairman of that committee, bX leavé to submit the following report : __ Tw this, the very crisis of our destiny, When our fate as a free le bangs trembling in the balance, when every en- ergy, every resource, and eutire unanimity among our people is indispensably requi- gite to burl back the preseot giguntic, and, aa We trust, final sssaalt of the enemy, he @eems that the paramount duty of this Legislature, with a view to our speedy in~ dence, is to strengthen the Executive arm, to provide for supplies and reinforee- ments to the army, and to care for the wants of the fatrilies of our soldiers; and that the iutroduction of other subjects of legislation at this-time, tending to ques- tion the patriotism and ability of our Coo- federate rulers and legislators, leading to debates of a party and political character, -and enuring to distractions and divisions of sentiment among our people, is unwise, dll-timed, impolitic, and fraught with dao- ger to our cause. Nor does he accept as true, facts stated in the resolutions. He denies the tions ‘of the Constitution by tbe Congress of the Confederate States, and bas yet to be pointed to a single instance. If refer. ence be made to the acts for conscription the anti-substitute law, aod the law for impressments, the answer is, that the courts of the country are the only compe- tent tribunals to decide upon the uncon. etitutionality of these measures; and that by every sapreme judiciary tribunal in the States-of the Confederacy, in which this question has been tested, these laws have been ceclared to be ccnstitutional. Nei- ther does he admit, as stated in the second resolution, that the act to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus “clothes the Executive with judicial func tions which Congress cannot constitution- ally confer even on the judiciary itself, and set at naught the most emphatic and sol emn guarantees of the Constitution.” The power in Congress to suspend the Privilege of the writ when iu cases of in- vasion or rebellion, the public safety may, in its opinion, require it, is indispensable. If it be contended that the act in question is unconstitutional fur the reason that it justifies arrests other than upon judicia) warrauts supported by oath or affirmation, and manifest iofrac-- The , andersi understanding that only sech portions of the Governor's mes: sagé &s referred to the act saxpending the privilege.of the writ of Aabeas corpug, was referred to the commitee.of which be con- stituted a part, does not-feel at liberty to consider aud report upon the subject mat ter of the 4th .Resulution, especially as another committee has been appointed to whom that subject was specially referred. But in order that bis position may vot be migunderiood, he takes o¢gasion to deny that the xct “to organize forces to serve during th war’ “embraces every State officer in all the departinents Executive, Legislafive and Judicial,” far Congress expressly exeropts from its provisions these very Officials, besideseal] ythers, whom the Governor uf any State may certify to be necessary in the administration of the State government. While the constitu- tionglity of the conscription acis bas been Paffirmed by the Supreme Courts of almost every State in the Confederacy, it has been denied bywo single one, and be is of opin- ion that at this time, while.our enemies are seeking to subjugate and ruin us by sheer force of numbers, that the organiza- tion of a reserve farce composed of these between 17 atid 18, and 45 aud 50 years of age, was eminently pecessary, wise ap expediept. ; He therefore respectfully submits that, in any event? the cons‘itutionality of the act to suspend tbe privilege of the writ of habeas corpus is a question purely for the courts.’ We sit bere as Legislators, oot as Judges. Let our Suprems Court decide; it ts its: province, pot ours; and any forutal judgment of the Legislature aipon that point is an assumption of power upon its part, is a departure from the exer- cise of its legitimate functions, and in the | words of one of the resolutions, “violates the fandamental maxim of republican goverument, which requires a separation of the departmerts of power.” Nor does he deem it incumbent upon this body, especially ‘at a time like the present, to express by legislative action any opinion as ta‘the propriety or expediency of the passage of this act. It was passed by our representatives in Congress, who. were the sole judges of its necessity, and it was passed by them, as théy stated, upon infor- mation laid before them of conditions of public danger which reodered their action eminently necessary and proper. If its operation Were confined to our own State only, we might be justified in the expres sion of an opinion as to its expediency. Bat its operation is coextensiva with the limits of the Confederacy.

THE WAR NEWS. During Saturday aud Sunday the city was alive with ramours. The great topic was the cavalry fight near Atlee’s station, on the Cen- trel railroad. On Saturday morning our cavalry emered the enemy’s lines abeat the Juuciion and cap- tured all the pickets. Soon after this—about 12 o'clock —our force fell upon the enemy near Uawes’ shoy, abcat four miles of Atlee’s sia- tien, aud a fight commenced. For prudential reasous we omil ty name the pariicelur regi- ments engaged on onr side, but our forces were entirely ot cavalry. ‘The fight was desperate forthe time. The enemy advaficed three times, but each tine was répulsed und driven back for two miles. Atthis jancture the enemy ad- vanced to the sup of their cavalry a whole corps of infantry, afterwards discovered to be the Fifth army gorps, aad the fight was re- newed. Here the fight raged for au bvur, when our men, who md ne infantry support, aud finding themselves pressed by overpower- ing numbers of the evemy, fell back for about a mile, retiring slowly and in perfect order, the | enemy showing da dipsaision (o pursue.

Tue Conreperats Treasury.—In consequence of the military opera- tions uear Richmond, the sale of the 6 per cent, untaxable bonds bas been postponed, aud Mr. Memming- er has to resort to other means of raising fands. He has accordingly proposed, and Congress is maturing a bill, to authorize the isene of cer- tificates payable in specie two years after peace, interest payable eeimi- annually in specie or ite equivalent. These certificates to be paid fur sup plies at the market value iv specie at the times of impressment, or ac- cording to the average prices pre- | vailiug in 1860, at the option of the owner of the propérty.

SELF-DENTAL. ; The Charlottesville Chronicle, of the Confederate says there: and is in derogation of some of the other safeguards of persocal liberty as engrafted upon our Bill of Rights and Constitution from tbe English Magna Charta and Bill of Rights, the answer is to be found in the fact that these provisions were meant to apply toa nation al peace with foreigu powers, and in the enjoyment of domestic tranquility; and the very yrant in the same instrument, the Constitution, of the power of Congress to suspend the privilege of the great writ, carries witb it necessarily, and to make such suspension effectual, the euspension for the time being of these per- sonal -privileges. In titnes of imminent deadly peril to the nation, when - its very existence is jeoparded, these ordinary per- sonal privileges must be sacrificed, and are | made subservient and subordinate to the, safety and existence of the oation and gov: | ernment, The Executive must be author. | ized to act promptly; and the imperative | necessities of the case, tlre good of the | whole demand that the ordinary formali } ties of the Law, with its inevitable delay | should, for the crisis, be dispensed with. | The suspension of the privilege of the writ | is an extraordinary measure—extra judi: | cial in its character, and to be resorted to only in cases of dire emergency. Its ex- ; ercise is incompatible with tte personal | privileges vuuchsafed to the individual in - other sections of the Constitution, and when the emergency arises these personal | i: privileges must be suspended. | have been inexpedient and improper } | to know what conditions of danger exist | ed in Louisiana, Tennessee, or elsewhere ? | Do we even know the condition of danger | in our own State, upon which Congress may have been thoroughly and accurately informed?

He has entire con: | fidence in tbe ability, wisdom, moderation | and patriotism of our Executive, the Pre | sident of the Confederates, and does not | believe that the power conferred upon hjm | by the act in question will be wielded by 4 him to individual oppressicn or otherwise than for the internal peace, safety and bon- ! or of these Confederate States.

C.: a MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 18, 1964, GOV. VANCE Addressed a large portion of his fol- low-citizens of Rowan at this place yesterday, who honored bim with close attention throughoat, for pear- ly three hoars. Much of the time was consumed in discussing the two modes proposed for negotiating for peace. Some had proposed separate State action; and he attempted to show, and doubtless convinced his hearers, tlrat this mode would inev- itably fail of the object sought to be effected by it, and as surely plunge the State into a civil war more dread- ful than any thing yet realized by any portion of our people, except those of East Tennessee. He next pointéd out the only safe mode af- fording any promise of good, that is, as prescribed by the Constitution, and showed that he had not been lacking in efforts to do all in his power in that direction. Aud a large portion of his speech was devoted to his competitor, W. W. Holden, whose political record be reviewed —contrasting it with itself, and exhibiting the palpable incon- sistencies with which it aboands, and the astounding impudende of the man in his bald attempts to mislead and deceive the people. But with all his admitted ability, and skillfal handling of his opponent, those who are well acquainted with the politi- cal history of Mr. Holden, must have felt that Gov. Vatce had fail- ed to do the sabject justice. He also devoted a good portion of his time to discussion of topics of national interest, and explained the principles of the “ Conservative par- ty,” and closed by reference to his conduct in office. In thie latter connection he exposed some very falee and silly storzes whieh had been put ia circulation by his enemies, | for the parpose of injuring him, some of which were absolutely ridiculous. Altogether, the Governor's speech wasa decided succeess. No man was ever listened to with more mark- ed attention, or elicited more hearty responses of approval. He is every inch a man, not less willing than he is capable of exerting bis extraordi- nary abilities for the good of bis! State and the Confederacy, for the} happiness, prosperity and glory of} which his heart beats with 4n ear- nest and devoted energy.

The inquiry very natar- ally springs ap—why has Holden kept ont of the way of them. Col. McRae challenged him, some weeks. ago, to enter the army, giving bim the choice of Regiment, -but he did not accept tle challege ; and yet he is constantly throwing up to some one that they are afraid of Yankee ballets. One thing is certain, Billy is afraid of Georgia soidiers, or he would never have gone tearing up to Gov. Vance’s house for protec tion, when he supposed his own per- son in danger—ieaving his family behind unpretected. Is he not a nice man to.talk of any one’s being afraid of bullets!

No one doubts it was one of those eases | of accidental] drowning that might | happen at any time to little boys of their age. Tommy’s companion says he tried to save him when he saw he was drowning, but conld not. Let this ead incident be a warning to other little boys against going to bathe in the creek without some strong friend along who can swim well, and especially against going into the water on Sunday.

And didn’t he drink it? And didn’t he keep altogether out of dan- ger that night? Billy doubtless was aiming to conserve or preserve | his mon carcass, and the very essence of his present desire to be Governor, is to save himself froin eternal infa- my. His course has been infamous, but if he can é¢beat the people and induce then to elect him Governor, they will by that act accept and en- dorse his infamy, and do a great | deal towards saving or conserving Billy from the abyss of infamy which yawns to receive him if de- feated. He is, therefore, a zealous “conservative” of himself, and makes the gravel whistle in his rear when danger is supposed to be mear; and does not forbear%o do anything to deceive the ignorant when he wants their help to conserve himself.

We are decidedly of the opinion that all yankee deserters on parole in the South should be restricted to certain well detined boupdaries, and requir- ed to report daily, so that our au: thorities may always see and know that allis right.

A WILFUL AND DELIBERATE FALSEHOOD.

There seems to be sowe Hornets there, and they are slightly stirred up. tae” We saw and conversed with a wounded soldier on Tuesday, just from Gen. Lee’s army, who confirms the report that Grant primes his troops with whisky before sending thein into a charge, and relates the case of a yankee soldier who suc- ceeded in reachipg our breast works alive, over which he fell, rather than leaped. On reeovering his feet, be cried ont—“ let’s charge ’em again, boys;” absolutely ignorant of the fact that he had crossed the breast works, and was in the hands of the “rebels.” We ‘earn from the same young man, whose word is reliable, that Grant sent in a fresh Michigan reg- iment afew days ago—not three months old in the service—to charge one of our batteries; and that al- most the last man of them was killed by the fire of our men, just at the moment when they supposed that they were going take the works. Our informant’ was in the finest kind of spirits, and perfectly confi- dent that Lee’s ariny will whip out Grant’s forces.

Eprron: 1 was much surprised the other day to see in the daily “ Watchman" that some man from Catawba Station bad written @ letter to the “ Progress,” saying that Holden was gaining ground in Catay- ba.

Eprror: I have concluded to drop you a few lines, aod if you think them of any interest to yoor readers, you can give this room in the colemns of your excellent journal. The beautiful month of May is now about to eome to a close, and during this month, the news from our noble defenders is good. Lee and Johnson have both been suc cessful, giving the enemy of onr country, a severe brushing, and I hope when we are enabled to get the final results, that a series of the most brilliant victories eo record have been obtained ; but alas with fear, great slaughter of our brave and noble soldiers. Such is the fate of war— but not so bad as to be dishonored, shorn of our liberties as a people, degraded to the equal of a miserable horde who wish to become our superiors. Peace and inde- pendence is the desire of every manly rou! ; such a peace aa will be permanent, and such a peace as we will have, if we are true to ourselves. Let us all, in word and in deed give cheer to ovr noble veterans in the field. Let us all remember thev are breasting the storm far sway from home and friends, submitting with cheer- fullness to ali deprivations of camp; mvet ing the foe with ypsbrinking firmness, that seeks our utler ruin, and even meeting death to protect us. Yes, many daring the recent struggies have given their lives a willing sacrifice on the altar of tbeir country’s freedom. And we, while enjoy- ing all the comforts of home, think of their great sacrifices, drop a tear to tieir memo ry, and resolve to do our whole duty 10 giving a helping aid to their helpless wives and little ones. This is a boly duty and all should be deeply concerned in it. The time is drawing near when we Wi) have to make a selection for Governor o! our State. 1 do not know of any man in this whole section who will sapport Holdeo. If there are any, they do not express theinselves; but next August will mark their decision, I am almost confident that Holden will get but few votes, if any, 0 this county (Cleaveland) and, if he does the sentiments of the people wiil have to change to » great extent.

Among the éwindled was Mrs. Da- vis, the wife of the President, and Mrs: Mayo, seventh street, besides a numfier of others. The modus operandi of the aspir- ing youth was to select a house and name. of the family, walk up boldly, ring the bell. and hand ina bill of charges for freight on goods by express or packet, which charges must be paid before the goods can be de- livered. The money paid over, he would give a receipt in the proper name of the offieer of the railroad company, express, or what vot he represepted, and walk off, saying the box would be‘along in a little while. - He will be tarned over to the May- or this morning.— Fitch.

We understood last night that tbe Gov- ernment Detectives unearthed ‘yesterday what is believed to be a very deep laid plot of the enemy to enroll the negro population in our midst, and at the same time furnish important information to General Grant. Two men, who turned out to be paroled Yankee deserters, were seized at a suppos- ed unoccupied house on the Grove road, several miles from the city, where all the evidence of sumptuous living was disclos ed. Evidence of their complicity with the enemy was seized along with them in the shape of drawings, maps, diagrams and writings.

Richmond Whig. CONGRESSIONAL. The Senate, yesterday, perfected and pabeed the bill regalating impreseme nis, reported from theJuint Caailics & the subject of imprepe- meats. It is songee to obviaic objections to the present law, the abuses in the execution of which have produced gieut dissatisfaction throughout the country. ‘The adfocates ef the bill, which has passed the Senate, believe that the new measure will secure ample sup- ples forthe army, equalize, whitt lmitng, forced coutributions, and remove ail cuuses Of discontent heretofore produced by the officials ivtrusted with the execution of the ‘ impress- ment acts.” The following is a summary of the bill.

This question is frequently asked: Were he elected Governor, what could he do that Gov. Vance bas not done? he do as much as Got. Vance bas done ! We answer no. Gov. Vance is looked | power, as eminently patriotic, as baving the best interests of the Confederacy at | heart—as thoroughly Joyal and devoted | to the great cause of independence. Any- thing, therefore, he night offer by way of sugyestion, of advice, would nore weight ¢ham anything Mr. Holden could say or do. We do not wish to be , understoud as sanctioning the legislation | of Congress in every parlgg|ar. We think | both the Administration and the Cougress have erred iv many respects. But we will not charge Congress with right corruption, as the Progress has done. We give both the President and Congress | at least credit fur bonest intentions, in the discharge of public Cuties, But what we set outto say was, that) the Governor, of a State can do votbing, iio his official character, towards negotiat | ing a treaty of peace. All he can do would be to loan the weight of bis moral in- fluence with thus: who are entrusted jwith the treaty making power —which jare the President and | We claim that Gov. Vance, ;)shown by the correspondence between himself and Presideut Davie, (which Mr. | Holden refuses to publish,) has done. all | that mortal man could do, occupying the positicn be does, in the direction of peace. | We do not believe that Mr. Holden would have any Weight or influence whatever with | the treaty-making power, because he is | regarded as untrue to the great cause cf nationality and independetce all good and true med have so tnuch at heart. If any body were to ask us our: real Opinion as to who wure the best peace nen iv the Confederacy, we woul anbesitating- lly answer: ROBERT E. LEE and JO SEPH E. JOHNSON. We think they ; are doing more to bring about a “just, | honorable, and lasting peace,” than all the peace reselutions that could be written on paper between now and doomsday. At tie same time we advocate negotiations we publish this morning is true, as we be | heve it is, we thipk Ue time bas now ar- rived.— Conserya tive. ‘ NORTH CAROLINA. While the soldiers of the Old North State are foremost in every fight—offering up frecly their lives to secure the indepen- dence of their country, we regret with the Petersburg Express that the gubernatorial election 1s creating so much extitement | in Raleiyh. Mass meetings are of frequent occurrence with the fnends of Holden and Vance. [n so momentous a crisis as that in which the country 18 now placed—the matter of a gubernatorial election, sinks into Comparative insignificance. It looks too much like Nero fiddling while Rome 1e burning. The gallant sons of North Carolina bave fallen by hundeeds in the recent battles, and her people will be filled with mourning, when the lists of killed ; and wounded shall have been received, — Political struggles should be held in obéy- ance, when a graat struggle like the present for national existence, is engaging the at tention and testing the powers of endu- rance of our brave anc heroic army under | Lee. Of course we desire the defeat of additiomd! tenth in any district or lucalily—giv- ing timely notice of such determination 4. The said additional tenth to be disposed of and accounted for as the tax iv kind, and any portion may be sold at cost, by the Secre- tary of wur to the agents of any State provid- ing for the families of soldiers. 5. Additional requisite impr ts of food or forage may be made under existing impress- ment laws, except as herein otherwise provided. 6.

Aaimals necessary to raising horses, sheep ; and cattle, to be exempied from impressment As evidence that the Confederate authoritios sytnpathize with the poor of the country in thejr present dis- tresees, we state the fact that in Lancasfer District, S. C., the tithe corn is sold to the indigent fami lies at $3 per bushel, while the Gov- erument supplics itself by paying $8 per bushel. We learn this from the Lancaster Ledger.

Vance ; that is a wise idea ef yours.” We think both Holden and the Progress jeined im the praises bestowed on him for this act of forethooght, iv wisely providing food for the wives and ehi!dren of euldiers, who might otherwise have suffered. Gov. Vance did also, by some ineans or other, fit out one or more vessels to run the blockade ; and the | enterprise was so successful that he has broaght into the State, hundreds of articles required by artisans and mechanics, and without which it would have been mach harder for us to get along, and broughtiv taore winter and summer clothing, shoes, | &e., for our soldiers than our troops needed ; and actually loaned several thousand suits to destitute men in Gen.

We refer to the Manifesto of the Congress of the Confederate States to the Nations of the Earth, setting forth the Gispositions peinciples and purposes of our people in the war they are coimpelted to wage with the Untited State. The document rests upon the idea that we are a free, indepen. dent aad sovereign power, and it therefore outs, a@ woneeessary and derogatory to our position, all protestativo of a pur- Ppose to fight wotil our independence iy achieved. It assumes that we are the equals of Uhose to whom we speak, and every sentence glows*with the conviction that we will never forfeit such equality by the loss of eur independetice. No un- manly appeal for help or sympathy is | of the complicity that they may acquire in the terrible guilt of the war by failing to do whatever reason and honor and christianity suggest to lessen its horron and shorten its duration. First and chief among the rights belonging to us, avd which cannot longer be witheld without .| sbaroful and flagrant injustice, Is recogn: tion. To deny this to us is to acknow! edge the rightfulness of the abSurd and in- ‘solent protension of the Yaokers that we |are rebels and that they are fully jast- fiable in subduing us if they can. When was the Yankees ever our master, that we become “rebels” by resisting b's suprema- Vey?

And as a witness against us to the church to which'we belong, we can notify him that it is not probably his testimo- ny in any case would be greedily accepted until he has done that and much more. Our session (and, by the-way, the public.) would be glad to know how he got out of odist church—whether he was “ torned out,” broke oat, or slid out?

He wants the people to endorse him in that. He has applauded and traduced and libelled ip “turn almost every maa of prominence in the State or out of it. He wants the people to endorse him in that. Time and space woald fail to give the black catalogue of this man’s crimes against the moral sense of the couatry; but last, and not least, he is strongly suspected and generally believed to be a truitor to his country / Axp HE WANTS THE PEOPLE TO ENDORSE HIM IN THAT. Without their endorsement he knowg he will be politically damned. -With it, be stands the ghance in North Carolina of Andy John- ston in Tennessee. The Governor's palace, then, is the heaver, of his most ardent desire, and for its sake be is ready and willing to make the sacrifice of honor, truth and every- thing else other men hold sacred. It is need- leas to add that we would much prefer of such a man his abuse to his praise. oe Startling Confirmation of Mr. Holden's Disloyalty. Gorvssoro’s N.C., Dee. 12th, 1863.

The late European advices show that the battles in Virginia formed the great theme of interest in Eng- land. In the report of the preceed- ings of the British Parliameat, wo find the following allusion to them: In the House of Commons on the 27th of May, Mr. Halljburton asked the noble lord at the bead of the Go- vernment whether he had received any intelligence confirming the ra- mored defeat of the Federals by | Geveral Lee. | Lord Palmerston—The latest in- | telligenee that L have seen in the pa- pers to-day, was up to, | think, the 16th.

The following extracts will serve to show | a |jnto onr lines nepresented the com- | radeés they left belrind as completely | demoralized, tired of rebellion, and uite willing to lay down their arms. | We now tind by experience that the ‘to the bitter end, that thetr numbers are almost equal to our own, and they are neither hungry nor naked, end that their organization and spirit are as strong to-day as they” were two years ago. In the matter of losses, it is very evident that ours has been greater ‘than that of the enemy.

At the Wilder- ness his men were concealed in dense woods until the moment of attack; and after a charge, they immediate-, ‘ly retired avain to shalter. In the /succeeding engdgementa, and par- ticularly at Spyteylvania, they were | protected by rifle pits and breast. works. Our men had to charge on these positions, often being exposed their opinions and speculations of the | campaign in Virginia.

SATURDAY’S PROCEEDINGS. Saturday morning at daylight the heavy booming of artillery on our left and centre told that the fight ;Wassbegun and: many believed a | general engagement was progrese- ing. try was brought into action. Short- ly after this timesthe rapidity of the discharges increased and the sharp | rattle of the anusketry mingied with | the hoarse roar of artillery.

Again | they were rallied to the charge and were again driven back with consid- Eprty of their killed ‘were left on the field and some 20 | prisoners were taken.

A general engagement is antiei- | pated to-day, (Sunday) and at its close Hunter’ will be of the same opinion, ar we shall be more de- ceived than we ever were in our life.

REPORTED CAPTURE OF A BEARER OF DISPATCHES. It was reported here Saturday that a bearer of dispatches from .Grant to Hunter was captured sev- ‘eral miles below this city on that day, ordering the Tatterto take Lynchbarg at “all hazards.” When taken the man was in citizen’s dress sand begged hard to be \released, stating that he was as good a South- ;erner as any mauand denouncing ithe Yankees in unmeasured terms. This blarney, however, did nut pro- cure his release, and upon a search of his person the dispatch mentioned, with ether impartant papers, w&s . found, STRANGE VISITORS IN LYNCHBURG. _ Daring the artillery duel on the Forest road Saturday, several of the evemy’s shells fel! within the su- / burbs of the city, but did not ex- {plode.

Hogg, the State commisary, and Gov. Vance’s cnergetic and ef- ficient disbursing efficer in thie branch ofbis assumed duties. We say assumed because we know of no law imposing tpon the Governor the daty of providing for the families of soldiers, except such as have been at his request, te aid him miore effectually to carry out his plans for their relief. Under Gov. Vance’s directions, Maj. Hogg has, during the past twelve months, been ciligént iu par- chasing bacon, rice, flour, atid corn, wherever these articles could be purchased most cheaply, and stering them in safe and convenient locali- ties for the benefit of our suffering people. The table showing how these provisions have been distri- bated is short and self-explanatory, and our readers will have.no diffi- cnlty in understanding it: Sebsistence store issued by Maj. T. D.

It ie as impossible fur Mr. Boyden to support Mr. Holden, a for water to flow up fhiil—or whiskey in the hand of an aceustomed drinker, to keep fron, going down his throat.” Gus. Poix.—In the pockets of Gen. Polk were found, in that of the left side, his book of Common Prayer for the ser- vice of the Protestant. Episcopal Charch, and ia the right pocket, four copies of the Rev. De, Quintard’s little work, entitled “ Bahn for the Weary and the Wound- ed.” Upon the fiy ieaves of each of these Gen. Jos. E.

Through the provident care of Gov.
