In "addition to the above we will state what was told us some weeks ago. A respectable citizen of this county, who was in Raleigh when the news of the fall of Roanoke Island reached that place, says be heard a man proclaim on the street that he had been a Union man and intended to remain a Union man, and that the Union cause would yet triumph. The gentleman who informed us of this declaration bad a sick soldier, his own son, in charge, and did not have an opportunity 'to learn the name of the tory who used the language we have repeated. Wo call the attention of the editor of the Stand ard to these things, and ask him if it is not time for martial law or some sort of law to be enforced against Lincoln sympathizers and those who are waiting for an opportunity to injure the southern cause. Is it right to allow them to go at large in Raleigh and other southern towns? He that is not for us is against us. Prompt and vigorous ac tion and watchfulness is what we need now. that they were insulted and abused, on their route t between St. Louis and Chicago, at a statioa where they met a detachment of Eastern i Cavalry, , a nuaabep of whora .assailed; the train with brick bats and stones, breaking the car windows and injuring their inmates., .They also chased the cars for some distance after - they had started, seemingly determined to wreak their upon the helpless prisoners. We have heretofore - published - the treatment received by Generals Ruckner and Tilghman 'in the city of Buffalo, N. Y,, as related by, the Courier of that city. We reproduce a few sen tences: - ' - i - -,.U ." Ruckner steps first upon the philform-S fall, . lit i .'''', muscular, proud looking man, uresseu m a gray the disparity of the contending powers was far greater than at presents The British had erery advantage that number; experience in warfare and unlimited resources could !give them. The colonists were in awe of the superior skill and force of their enemies. Thejr"werctilmost without artillery," their smallarnVs wefof of the Inost In different description, and insufficient for their troops. Their aimies were badly elad and "badly vengeance f provided with stores. They were enlisted for very shou term, and therefore badly disciplined andl arniea. - i be people of every oodony were more or less divided in opinion as to the rightfulness of the contest, and some, as -New York, furnished as many troops to one side as the other. ! The course of the contest was sufficient to have j discouraged any but the most resolute natures. ; J lie British had taken months for the mosw . . - r ; -- Lir incapable of .resistance, We only remind "our readers that in the course of the war, New York' and Philadelphia fell into the hands of the enemy, that Norfolk was burned and Charleston and Say- j annah captured , . , . . .. . If u were within our limits to describe the con dition of the army and country at that period, Oti readers would be astonished at the picture. . The Confederate Treasury was without money or eredit. The troops without arms, ammunition or clothes! The people without, accumulated wealth or current supplies of the most necesairyt charac- "t ter, '.The country waa divided in opinion.

Public Meeting in Mecklenburg We in vite attention to the proceedings of a public meet ing held in Charlotte, N. C-, on the Sth instant. We highly approve the action of this meeting, and beiieve it would be profitable for the whole people of every county in the State to meet to gether and talk over their public affairs. Hordes of avaricious plunderers are on our borders, seck- i .. i , . a - i j . i i military coat, and wearing a genuine Southerner's ? p.epa..o8 - to .uuane ine coiomes. BuA.j r.,n Lnf Tl,0" r u:, f I hey were supreme by sea. Gen. Washington f tmu conceturaiea nis lorccs at Aew iftrK.: lie I had 27,000 men. The enemy had 24,00tf.! He undertook to defend Long Island, upon which he the first time, and the building rings with cheers for the Union, and groans and hisses for all rebels. Ruckner turns and gives them one look, like that of a snared tiger upon his captors, in which more rage and scorn were concentrated than we thought the human, countenance capable of, and passes into the. car. Right after him' comes Tilghman jauntily dressed in a fatigue suit and a foraging cap, 'a smaller" man than Ruck ner; fair, with a blonde moustache, suavity and politeness written in every line of his faci.' " A shout comes from the crowd, " Three groans for the rchel Tilghman!" He turns and lifts his cap and bows and smiles, as though appearing on a balcony to answer a flattering serenade." The South has taken prisoners, as many as the North has. They were of soldiers who had come as invaders of our homes, and murderers of our brethren on our own soil. But no Southern crowd, outraged as we all feel has been found ruilty of such dastard brutality as is described, in the above. We trust such a scene will never be witnessed here. It is an offence that it would be aa infamy even to retaliate It has been customary at the North to sneer at "Southern chivalry." We hive here an example of theirs! Pouring in dai ly crowds of impertinent visitors to bader r cap tites with insults; their soldiers stoning them through the enr-windows! captive generals, whe thev the stern Ruckner, or the debonair Tilgh man. successively hissed and hooted, by a mob! Whnt a deep, dark, eternal disgrace to any people ing to destory us, and whilst we are sending out ! claiming to be within the pale of civilization! a our youiiir and able-bodied men to tight them, it certainly could not be unpr'tfitiddc for those who are left at home to meet together for the purpose of greeting, inquiry, exchanging views, counsell ing, and sustaining each other and promoting the cause of the Country. The resolutions of the Mecklenburg meeting iu regard to the management of the August election, and also that recommending Wm. Johnston, Esq , meet our cordial approbation. We know of but few geutlemen in-the Slate whom we regard as better qualified to be Governor during these trou blous times. The iron-sided, indomitable Rocke ry, possesses some admirable traits suitable for the place. Rut that man of quick perception, energetic action, and bold daring, the Hon. John 31. More head, is, to our mind, a head and shoulder above any other we can think of. He has been a faithful and valuable public servant, and if age, or other cause, now deprive us of the benefit of his eminent quali fications, William Johnston, Esq., the favorite son of old Mecklenburg, will command, as he deserves, the confidence and the cordial support of bis fellow-citizens in Western North Carolina.

The name of this gen tleman has been prominently brought before the people of the State by a lare portion of the press and otherwise, as a most suitable man to be elected Governor of the good Old Commouwelath, at the election to be held in August next. And men of all former, political parties have united in recom mendiug him to their fellow citizens for the high and responsible office, in the present critical con dition of our public affairs, as one whose adminis trative abilities and well-tested energy, would be equal to the crisis which the war has precipitated upon the Shite and country. Rut that 'Mr. John ston, with all his sterling abilities, and administra tive public career of usefulness for a score of years past, in the dischargo of most responsible trusts, j for the welfare and prosperity of the people and ! honor of the State should encounter opposition j from some quarrer, is not a matter for wonder, I Such occurs in the history of all great men; al- though, Mr Johnston pretends to nothing"more ' than to occupy an equality with his fellow citizens generally. - - .

We again express the earnest hope that our people will, under no degree of provoca tion, imitate this conduct. The meanness of Ihc infamy protects it from retaliation. Officers and men of the Confederate army--ya see the treatment you are to expect, if taken cap tive in this war ! It will not intimidate you, - but it will arouse you ! Are you willing thus "to make a Northern" holyday?"

" two such grave errors that I cannot correcting them, particularly as many persons who use rye as a substitute for coffee might be fright ened out of an innocent beverage. i , - r The article enys: "The grain when burnt, con tains fifty per cent of ..phosphoric acid." Now, unscientific people would suppose, this to mean when parched : We suppose the Doctor intended the ash .of the grain. What is the true analysis ! of rye according to the best authorities' . 1,000: I nounds produces only 10 11 pounds of ash; ud of erected defence and stationed troops.I The Rritish landed troops, turned his left flank, routed his army, and caplured 2,000 men.. ;The re mainder were fortunate .enough': to - escape.- : The American army was then Jin great' part withdrawn from the: city,' but such:was the terror inspired by. the superior-iniKtary skill attributed to the Rritish, that the force -stationed for the defence of a water "battery fled from the bombard ment of the enemy, and two brigade urnt to their aid were so infected with - panie, that they retreated without firing a gun or seeing the enemy, and in spite of the remonstrances of ,Gen. Wash ington and their own officers ' '' ' " ' New York was then abandoned, with the loss ot our artillery, much of ; our army stores, provisions, tents, &c. - ' ; i ,;tt i -.' ; , : The American army ; behaved, better at White Plains. Rut it was pursued by other disaster. .Fort Washington- ratlver against the advice of Gen. Washington- was defended. The garrison made a gallant defence, killing; "several hundred Hessians; " but the. Rritish advanced in three columns, and drove the garrison witjiiq the fort, where it surrendered. " The British captured two thousand five hundred men, with military store's, and a strong position! This was considered the greatest calamity of the war. Fort Lee fell next the troops were withdrawn, but all the arma ment and supplies, including three hundred tents fell into the hands of the enemy. The effect of these blows, falling with such weight and rapidity was intense. The historian says the troops quitted the army " by regiments, half regiments, and companies." Gen. Washing ton crossed into the Jcrsej-s, info which he was followed by a victorious enemy. He then headed an aimy of only three thousand men, besides some detachments under Lee and others. New Jersey yielded without resistance, and no one who looked on " the "ragged" handful of Americans as they retreated before the superior force of' the disciplined and well appointed army which pursued them, could doubt that ' the con test approached its termination." It is unnecessary to follow the narrative of re verses, which ought to be read hy -every one; and published for. the inspection of the people. Washington, undismayed, turned in hfsr celebra ted night march across the Delaware, captured 1.000 men, with arms and storesatid returned in safety. Rut nothing else occurred for months to break the current of Rritish successes. ' Their army embarked in the ext campaign, 'and for weeks Washington was ignorant of their destiria ion. To avoid the forts which he had erected on the Delaware, they had ascended the Chesapeake to march overland upon Philadelphia. Washing ton; who bad again recruited his temporar army, refrain from 1 resisted their advance at Rrandywine. Leaving. a force to threaten the fords in front, - the enemy made a " detour and turned our right "flank." The Americans after a short resistance withdrew. Washington made yet another stand to save Phila delphia; but a violent rain so completely drenched his men that their whole stock of am munition was rendered unfit for use, and the army wa com pelled to fall back. It is stated that at this time there were scarcely two guns of the same calibre in the army. One regiment reviewed ninety this 10 j pounds only 0.46 -of a pound is , phos-. muskets and seven bayonets, v . ,hor c acid: not Quite half n pound to -i.WU i unr nignt anac on ftcrmancown was a lauure, t T S pounds' of the grain, and not quite 6 per cent, of I the ash, instead of upwards of 50 per cent.; being not quite the one-fifth of 1 per cent of the solid cram.

A young man employed on a farm had married his master's dsufhten' and r inj to doinr had carried off the prize -from sererul other suitors, and the nuptials were kept with all the rejoicing usual on such - occasions. In the evn ing a large house dog, chained up in - the yard, was heard barking violently, nnd was at length sat at liberty in order to quiet, him. The moment the' animal was let loose it ran into the house, and up the stairs to the -door-of the room prepared for " the married couple, against which he -begin" scratching in a violent manner. On the door being opened by the persons who had lollowsd the animal, the dog rushed under the bed, nnd " immediately a loud cry was heard. On looking" under, a man, who had been just strangled by f the dog, was found, having iu his hands two -loaded pistols. He was recognized "as one-of ths " defeated suitors of " the bride, and- doubtless meditated a sanguinary vengeance for his' disap pointment." - 5 '-, " '"' ,' -"i There was a curious will ease in - the ' lublio Court of Probate recently:,' James Port, of Rally- : gillatt, county of Perry, wai " dying of fertti His brother and sister' got a neighbor to draw hii ? will, but, as 'the fever was Infections, he woqM "' go no nearer than the barn to ths ' testator- whither the sister conveyed his answers Ui ' ths 4 questions put to ' him . as to the disposal of :his " property, the drawer of tho"wilf putting in , legacy of ten pounds to himself, without troubling the dying man abouCiuch a trifle.
