ivi.trpno T liavc learned w ith crcat r:iin that there

' home, instead of encouraging them
, to rttura to duty:
VANrE,Governorof
Now. therefore. I. Zkullo.v ti
th; Slate of North Carolina, do issue tms my procia-
wation com niaiiding nil such evil disposed persons to !
i't!-i.-t from such ba;e, couardfy and treasonaole con
duct, and warning ihem that they will subject them-
i . . . r . jr. i. . . 1 . .... Z 1-. ... s r. t ' l.r. ..t'ril nnilrt j
of the Cunftderacv as well as to the everlasting con- !
1 1-1 1 1 f t and detestation of all good and honorable men.
Certainly no crime could be greater, no cowardice
more abject, no treason more base, than for a citizen
of the State, enjoying its privileges and protection
-without sharing its dancers, to persuade those who
),ave )iaj tiic courage to o forth in defense of their j
: country, vilely to desert the colors winch they nave
sworn to uphold, when a miserable death or a vile,
skulking and ignomfnou.- existence must be the inevi
table consequences: no plea can excuse it. The father
or the brother who does it should be shot instead of
liis deluded victim, for he deliberately destroys the soul
and manhood of his own flesh and blood. And the
same is done by him who harbors and conceals the
deserter. For who respects either the one or the other?
What honest man will ever wish to permit his own
brave sons or patriotic daughters, who bore their parts
with credit iu this great st.uggle for independence, to
associate, even to the third nnd fourth generations,
with the vile wretch who skulked iu the woods, or the
still viler cowai d whoaided him, while his bleeding
country is calling in vain for his help? Uoth are ene
mies; sneaking, mean enemies to their - country, before
whom our open fo'.s will be infinitely preferred. 15oth
are foes to their own kindred and noble countrymen
who are electrifying the world by their gallant deeds,
and pouring out their blood upon the field of battle to
protect those very men who are sapping the vitais of
our stiength. And woe unto you, deserters, and your
aiders and abettors, when peace being made and inde
pendence secured, these brave comrades who have de
serted in the hour of their trial shall return honored
and triumphant "to their homes! Ye that hide your
guilty faces by da', and prowl like outlaws about by
night, robbing th"e wife and mother of j our noble de
fenders of their little means, while they are facing the
enemy; do you think ye can escape a just and damning
vengeance when the day of reckoning comes? And ye
that shelter, conceal, and feed these miserable depreda
tors and stimulate them to thtir infernal deeds, think
you that. e will be- spared? Nay! rest assured, observ
ing and never failing eyes have marked you, every one.
And when the overjoyed wife welcomes once more her
bra . e ami honorable husband to his home, and tells
him how in the long years or his absence, in the lonely
hours of the night, you who had been his comrades
rudely entered her house, robbed her aud her children
of their bread and heaped insult and indignities upon
her defenceless head, ihe wrath ofthat heroic husband
will make you regret iu the bitterness of your coward
ly terror that jou were ever born. Instead of a few
rcatteicd militia, the land will be full of veteran sol
diers, before whose honest faces you will not have
courage to raise your eyes from the earth. If permit
ted to live in the State at all you will be infamous.
You will be hustled from the polls, kicked in the
streets, an honest jury will not believe you on oath
and honest men every wheie will shun you as pestil
ence, for he who lacks courage ami patriotism can have
no yi her good fjuality or redeeming virt ue. Though ma
ny of you rejected the pardon heretofore oifesed your
and I am not authorized to promise it, yet I am assur
ed that no man will be shot who shall voluntarily re
turn to duty. This is the only chance to redeem your
selves fitmi the disgrace and ignominy which you are
incurring.
Again our troops hare met the enemy and a great
and glorious victory has been won. But several thou
sand of our soldiers fell in achieving it for us. Every
man is ieeded to replace the gallant dead, and pre
serve an unbroken front to our still powerful enemy.
Unless desertion is prevented our strength must de
part from our armies, and desertion can never be stop
ped while either through a false and mistaken sympa
thy or downright disloyalty, they receive any counten
nacc or protection at home. I therefore appeal to all
good citizens and true patriots in the State to assist
my officers in arresting deserters, and to frown down
all those who aid and assi.-t them. Place the brand
upon them and make them feel the scorn and contempt
of aa outraged people. Unless the good and the pa
triotic all over the hind arise as one man to arrest this
dangerous rvil.it w ill grow until our army is well nigh
ruined. The danger of starvation having happily
passed away the approaching and apparently boun
teous harvest giving evidence of ample supplies for the
coming year our great army in Virginia agaiu jubil
ant over a mighty victory I am well assured that our
danger lies in the disorganization produced by deser
tion. You can arrest it my countrymen, if you will
but make a vigorous effort, if you will but bring to
bear the w eight of a great, a patriotic and united com
munity in aid of our authorities.
In witness whereof, Zkbulon I?. Vaxck, Governor,
Captain General and Commander-in-Chief, hath sign
ed these presents and caused the great seal of the State
to be affixed.

30th N. C. Regiment, )
Rumseur's Rrigade, May 9th, 18G3. j
Messrs. Editors: The Richmond Enquirer of
a "recent issue, in noticing ihe terrible conflict
which took place at Chancellorsville, says that the
brunt of the action was borne by the old division
of Gen. 1). H. Hill, composed- of Virginians,
Alabamians, and MarylandeTS. Your correspond
ent has been attached to this division for the last
past ten months, and he has yet to learn that a
single man from Virginia or Maryland is in this
division. It is due to the uninformed to state
that this division consists of one Alabama brigade,
two Georgia, and two NorthCarolina Rrigades.
We do not wish to detract from the conduct of
the Virginia or Maryland troops in this war, but
we would like to see credit given to those to whom
it is due. Officer.
The Garrison at Salisbury. The two
companies which have been for some time past at
this place to guard prisoners, have been removed,
and eent, we understand to Weldon. All the pris
oners, we learn, have been removed to Richmond.
Salisbury Watchman.
trA band of thieving scoundrels started on a
robbing, murdering, plundering and arsonous ex
pedition through North-Western Georgia. Gen.
Forrest overtook and captured the rascals not far
jfrom Reme in that State, and they have been seut
on to Richmond to be exchanged.
The papers of all the towus along the route
taken by these prisoners and their guard on their
way from Rome to Richmond, complain bitterly
of the privileges granted and the favors shown
these prisoners. Their officers at Atlanta, Au
gusta and Charlotte, had the freedom of the hotels,
and their men went just where they pleased, saw
what they pleased, and talked with whom they
pleased. Women who would "not notice our own
troops, sent them flowers; and, upon the whole,
they had a good time of it, quite an excursion.
They were lionized, feted, made the guests of the
public. The infamous scoundrelo!
There is too much laxity in this respect.
These nun deserve death. They were engaged
in stealing negroes; they had burned private
property; they rqde upon stolen horses, and yet
while our brave men who may unhappily be made
prisoners and carried North, are treated with the
utmost inhumanity, these felons, caught in. the
act, upon our own soil, are treated with a con
sideration that might well lead them to doubt
whether they are indeed prisoners or honored
guests, whether they are. under guard, or simply
attended by an escort detailed to see to their com
fort and provide for their accommodation; while
from the dtmonftration of some of the citizens of
the places through which they passed, they could
hardly be blamed if they reported the existence
of a strong Union feeling. We do trust that
i?uch things will not again occur. We do not know
the name of the officer in command of the guard
who had these prisoners in charge, else we would
give it Wilmington Journal.
Entirely too much privilege is extended to such
villains as they pass through the country; but we
hope no respectable white woman in- the South
degraded herself so much as to give the Yankee
prisoners- flowers. Any white woman who would
do such a thing should be sent North to brute

THE YANKEE PANIG NEAU CHAN- t
CEI.LOHSVILLE. "
A correspondent of the New York Herald, who .
wituessed the "stampede" of Carl Shuri's flying
Dutchmen, (Uth corps,) when they found that
Jackson was in their rear, gives the following I'
graphic account of the amusing scene:
"The flying Germans came dsshipg over the
field itt crowds, stampeding and running as onlr '
men do run when convinced that sure destruction
is awaiting them. I must confess that I have no
ability to do justico to the scene that followed.
It was my lot to he in the centre of that field
when the panic bunt upon us. ' May I never bo a
witness to another such scene. On one hand waa
a solid column of infantry retreating at double
quick; on the other was a dense mass of beings
who were flying as fast as their legs could carry
them, followed up by the rebels pouring their
ruurdeious volleys iu upou us, yelling and hoot
ing, to increase the confusion; hundred of cavalry
horses, left riderless at the first discharge from
the rebels, dashing . frantically about iu all dirco
tions; scores of batteries flying from the field: bat-
tery wagons, ambulances, horses, men, cannon
! caiisotn aU jumbled and Jumbled together Iu one
inextricable mass and the murderous fire u the
rebels still pouring in' upon them! To add to tho
terror of the occasion, there was but one means of
escape from the field, and that through a little
narrow neck or ravine washed out by Scott's ereck.
Towards this tli3 confused mam plungrd head
long. For a moment it seemed as if no power could
avert the frightful calamity that threatened the
entire army. On came the purnc-strieken orowd,
terrified arlilllcry riders ? purring and lashing their
horses to their utmost; amhular.tvs upsetting and
being dashed to pieces against Idcs and stumps;
horses dashing over the ti44; men flying and cry
ing with alarm a perfect torrent of passion appa
rently uncontrollable. The men ran in all direc
tions. They all seemed pofnf aad with an instinc
tive idea of the shortest and inot direet line from
that point whence they started to the United
States Mine Ford, and the majority oflheuidid
not stop until they had reached the fori. Many
of them, on reaching the river, dashed in and
swam to the north side, and are supposed to be
running yet. The stampede was universal, the
disgrace' general.
B BEACH OF FIIOMISE CASE.
The London Times, of a recent date, contains
the following report of the most extraordinary
breach of promise case we remember to have read
or heard ot :
This was an action for breach of promise of
marriage.
It appeared that the plain tiff was a person who
had long passed the period of jtrvenility, being 52
years of age, and the defendant was of a corres
ponding age; but their courtship had been a lonjr
one, having continued .ever sinco the plaintiff
was 17 or 18 yean old, and although failirg to
result in a marriage, it had, in the earlier part of
it, produced a child, a daughter, who. waa now 24
years of age. Tho reason given by the defendant
for not' fulfilling his engagement was, that it was
to come off conditionally only on the death of his
mother; and, unfortunately for (he lovers, the old
lad 7 lived to the extreme limit of 90 year-, dying
only in the spring of last year; but the defendant
refused to fulfill his engagement upon the tardy
happening of this event, a,nd pleaded tho Statute
of Limitations, to which it was replied that the
statu to begau to run from the breach only, and
uot from the making of the promise.
The plaintiff waa a dressmaker living at Apple
by, and the defendant a "statesman," or farmer
in that neighborhood. Tho rather extraordU
nary necessity was loreed upon tne piainua oi :
calling her illegitimate daughter to prove the
promise to marry, and she stated that she had been 4
fut to school at Brough, and always treated kind- t
y by the defendant and his ai other, the latter of '
