YANKEE BARBARISM-
The following statement was sent to us for publi
cation by a highly respectable gentleman in Eastern
Korth Carolina, who knows the facts of which -he
ipeakH, and who La been in the war since the first
gun was fired :
On the recent expedition in pursuit of the Yan
leoa who purprised the 56th N. C. Reg't. we found
two a"-ed widows raiding at Core Crek. One of
them was near seventy, the other near eixty. After
liming their husbands and all their children, the
bereaved testers (Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Evans) had
c..me together in their old ng in the hope that the
taut moments of a long and afflicted life might be
spent in peace. Rut the Yankee vandals willed
otherwise. Of their thirteen negroes, all were
carried off except an old bed ridden woman. These
Yankee wretches stole every pound of bacon the
old ladies bad; all their flour und meal. andy eveif
their bedding, towels, bed clothes, kitchen utensils,
onp, lard, &c. Their very Bibles and 'hymn
books were carried off and the last consolation of
religion taken from them. With pious forethought,
one of the old ladies had prepared her winding
heet. This the base scoundrel tore to pieces with
arnge exultation in her presence.
The furniture of the Core Creek Baptist Church,
near by, was on deposit for p.fe keeping in the
house of the old ladies. All this was stolen or de
itroyed, and the church itself burned to ashes.
These facts, hundreds in Hansom's and Cooke's
Brigades heard from the lips of these venerable
widows. Capt. Robertson. N tvy Contraetor, told
the writer of this that he had known them for thirty
years, and that they were universally respected for
their pious, consistent and exemplary lives.
As a mental retribution of heaven, the Yankee
Colonel who committed these atrocities was killed
by our troops in the pursuit. He was the author of
most of the house-burning and plundering which
have desolated the country for twenty miles around
Newbem. - -
How- strikingly do these facts rebuke the base
Re-constructionists in this State ! Is the old
Union to be restored in the tears and groans of the
widow and orphan and in the blood of our noble
ons? Are we again to take to our bosoms the
house-burning,, church-destroying infidels who
found our land as the CTarden of Eden and have
converted it into a desert? As long as the memory
can act and the heart feel emotion, let their crimes
never be forgotten and their atrocities never cease
to excite the deepest abhorrence! The voices of
oar murdered dead would cry out from their gory
graves did wo re-unite again with this race of Ca
mancheg.' Never, never, never.'
"A Restoration or tub Union forever impos
sible." Under this caption the Fayetteville Observer of
Iht; 4 1 li inst. has an excellent article, one which wc hope
vtry pp-r in this State and in the South will copy..
Hefore the war, the Editors of the Observer were true and
true Union men, but they now view the matter in its pro
per light, and, as good southern men, are unalterably op
posed to a reconstruction of the Union under any circum
stances. Next week we will publish th? Observer's ar
ticle in full, as we now have room oflly fof the following
extracts : .
"The admission (perhaps inadvertently) into an in
fluentiiil paper of a communication in favor of recon
struction surprised and grieved ue, alid -induces us to
tri:iiud our readers that lliey mu.t ever keep "before
their own minds and instil Tnto the minds of their
neighbors who may not read and reflect on the subject
(if any such there be.) the grcut leading idea that the
Union is forever dissolved its restoration forever impossi
ble " . ,
'Reconstruction would be no end of the war; it
wruld raiher h the beginning of interminable war.
Prace w ith flie United States can only be secured by
separation. And that separation every dictate of hon
or, of interest, and of humanity demands. God forbid
that wehould ever again be .united with a people who
have so deeply outraged our every feeling and right,
and whose intentions towards us are a& black as the
infernal regions.
"Let no man, therefore, tolerate: in himself or others
a thought of so fatal a policy as a reconstruction of
the old Union. The day for that is forever past. The
blood of our slaughtered sons and brothers upon a
hundred fields, from Bethel to'Vicksburg. cries out
from the ground against an idea so fatal aud so base."
N. C. Troops. Maj. Wm. Lee David son bast
been promote-d to f.ieut Colonel of the 7th Regi
ment in place of Hill, killed. Capt J McLeod Tur
ner lias been appointed Major in place of Davidson
promoted.
Lieut. Col. John B. A-hcraft, of the 37th N. C.
Regiment, has resigned.
Maj Thomas W. May hew, of the 33d N. C. Regi
ment, who was wounded in the late battles near
Fredericksburg, has since died.
Wire. J. Jl. Howie Ac Co., of this place, have
erected machinery for making wire of all sizes. We
have seen somo of the wire made at the establish
ment of the. Messrs. Howio and it seems to be as
good as any we ever saw. Thiis a cheering sign
of the progress of manufacturing in the South.
- i
Glvk. There is one article much used and
greatly nei ded, which is becoming very scarce.
We allude to Glue. We have been unabley recent
ly, to find enough to make a roller for inking type,
and we hear the complaint frequently that there is
none to be had. Surely the manufacture of glue
would prove a profitable business to some one, as
the materials might be procured iu abundance from
the numerous Tan Yards now in operation in the
South. Tjio trimmings from bides, Jioofs, etc.,
which are now thrown awaiy, might be profitably
used in making glue.
Viroisia Election. We stated last week that
t WR probable that Mr. Flournoy had been elected
Governor of Virginia. Fuller returns indicate the
lectfrn of Gen. Wm. Smith, and the Richmond
Pper say that Smith is elected-his majority over
lournoy as far as heard fro0 being J .916. Smith

We highly appreciate these little' remembrances of
Our Sick and" Wousded. We had a conversa
tion the other day with a returned wounded North
Carolina soldier, -who has been in one of the hospi
tals at Richmond. He assured us that the wound
ed North Carolinians at Richmond received every
attention from the Virginians, it was possible for
them to -give. He sys he has seen the ladies of
Richmond passing from hospital to hospital, carry
ing baskets and dishes filled with delicacies for the
sick and . wounded, and-while administering to the
wants of 'all were particular to inquire for North
Carolinians who had so gallantly borne the heat and
! burden of the day and defended their homes from
the ravages of the inhuman invader: These state
ments are confirmed by parent and relatives of
sick and wounded soldiers who went on to assist in
nursing them. When we take into consideration the
fact that the citizens of Richmond and many portions
of Virginia have been for the past two years sur
rounded with the sick aud wounded from all parts
of the Confederacy, and that the demands on their
attention and charity are numerous and unceasing,
we think they are deserving of much more praise
rather than the censure which some seem disposed
to indulge in. . . . '
Northern Papers. We are indebted to Gen.
I). H. Hill, and to Lieut-CoL R. D. Johnston of
tho 23d N. C. Regimut, for copies of the New
York Herald. They contains no new of impor
tance; but are a sort of curiosity, showing the low
morals and degradation to which the yankee people
have sunk since they have been deprived of south
ern management and influence. The fact is. the
northern people will have to submit to be. ruled by
a King or some one invested with despotic power,
as they are utterly incapable of self-government.
In the copy of the Herald before us, there are
one hundred and fifty advertisements of females
wanting situations to work to enable them to'get a
livitlg. This is an average number of the daily ap
plications. While the yankee authorities are try
ing to starve out the South, their" own people are
perishing for food, raiment and. shelter.
The following paragraph from the Herald pf the
29th, shows the habits of a people who claim to
possess all the decency and civilization :
..Never before, tince New York has been a city,
have there been so many pickpockets operating on
its inhabitants as now. Wherever there is a public
gathering numerous thefts are committed by those
light-fingered gentry." . '
CFTbe Northern papers give the names of ten
Yaukeohips recently destroyed by the Confederate
steamers Alabama and Florida. Tho N Y Herald
suys the whole number of vessels destroyed is 114
a loss of$ 12,000,000. Push on the good work.

State fuiled to have a quorum present on the 30r

:
Defence of Gen. . Pemberton. Te Rich
mond Enquirer, in reply to a communication sent it
by "An Alabamian," assailing Gen. Pemberton the
commander'of the Confederate forces at Vlcksburg,
says:
"While you men of Alabama and Mississippi have
for two long years stood'here to defend the sacred
soil of Virginia, -by your side has Gen. Pemberton
also stood for the same "two long years;" indeed he
was here before "an Alabamian" or Mississippian
bad reached Virginia; for he came to Richmond
within eight days after she passed the ordinance of
secession, and was commissioned a colonel on the
23th April. 1861 the State seceded on the 17th.
We write from the recoYd. It is not true that "this
same John C. Pemberton was in the service of Abr
raham Lincoln," (any more than was Gens. Lee,
Johnston, ZJooper, Longstreet, &c) and it is not
true that he commanded a regiment of the U. S.
Government "at the battle of Manassas." Here
signed his commission in the U. S. service imme
diately on arriving in Washington, and promptly
repaired to Virginia; he surrendered the expecta
tions of large fortune from his friends in Pennsyl
vania, and gave up all for the State whose daughter
he had taken to wife, and where he had lived and
voted for years before the State seceded; he has
faithfully and most ably discharged every duty en
trusted to him, and is now closely beleagured in
Vjcksburg, but promptly and nobly aud manfully
fighting for his country's cause. Let us strengthen
his arm, by our encouragement; let us not impair
the confidence of his soldiers by unjust suspicioas
and false iuuendces upon his loyalty.
The Jackson Mississippian pulishes a speech
made by Gen. Pemberton, after three repulses of
thenemy at Vicksburg. It is as follows:
You have heard that I was incompetent and a
traitor, and that it was my intention "to sell Vicks
burg. Follow me and you will see the cost at which
I will aell V-icksburg. When the last pound of beef,
bacon and flour; the last grain of corn; the last cow,
and hog, and horse, and dog shall have been con
sumed, and the last man shall have perished in the
trenches, then, aud only then, will I sell Vicksburg.
."Wo think the General will do to trust.
A Good S uggestion. In order to meet and
check the cavalry raids of the enemy, 8 correspon
dent of the Columbia Caroliniou makes the follow
ing suggestion: .
My plan is this, and I would earnestly urge (un-
less some one will suggest a bettor) it . upon our
people and upon those in aufhority: We should or
ganize ourselves into companies of ten or twenty
men each all who remain at home and can fire a
gun each member to provide "himself with a gun
and a horse and twenty cartridges, and to be always
ready. Most of our men have guns, and it is prob
able the Government could now supply the deficien
cy. Also, let them have ammunition, or sell it to
them cheaper than they can eet it from speculators.
These companies should have some specified place
of meeting, in case of an alarm, and should thorough
ly acquaint themselves with all the thickets and bid-

A body of ten or fifteen sharp-shooters would throw
a regiment ef cavalry into the utmost copfusion by
firing on them from a place of concealment; turn
them from their course or impede their progressr,
thareby allowing those1 pursuing to overtake and
capture them. I make these suggestions,, not for
the purpose of alarming any one, but to get them'to
prepare to meet calamity that will most assuredly
come upon many parts of our couutry.

Treasury Notes. As we Jiave had some in
quiries in regard to funding Confederate Treasury
Notes, the following explanations will be fouud
useful:
Seven per cent coupon bonds or registered stock,,
at the pleasure of the holder, will be issued .in ei
changefor Treasury Notes of all dates before t'.e
6th of April, 1863, until the 1st duy of August, 1663,
and on that day.
Six 'per cent bonds or registered stock, at the
pleasure of the holder, will be issued in exchange
for U Treasury Notes, issued on or after the 6th of
April, 1863. for one year after the 1st day of the
month on which said Notes are issued. j h
After the 1st of August next. Treasury otes
which bear date before the 1st of December,; 1862,
cannot be funded in any kind of Stocks. j
Treasury Notes bearing date between theIst of
December, 1862. and 6tb April 1863, are fundable
only iu 4 per cent, stocks after 1st of August, 1863.
All notes issued before the 1st of December last
ought to be funded before the first of August next,
as after that time they cannot be funded in Con
federate Bonds, but will be paid by the Govern
ment "ix mouths after the ratification of a treaty
of peace."
We learn that Mr. Williamson, the Depositary
at this place, has funded $15Q,000 iu 7 per cont
Bond eince the 22d of April.
'
The Foreign Clergy. It appears that a por
tion of the clergj' in France and England are openly
working for the cause of the devil instead of religion
and civilization. In aate number of the New York
Herald we find an article1 copied from an English
paper stating that 750 French Protestant Clergymen
had addressed a letter to their English brethren on
the subject of the war in America, in opposition to
the South and representing that the success of the
cause represented by the Confederate States "would
put back the progress of christian civilization and
of humanity a whole century." 1,500 of the Eng
lish clergymen (so called) replied "Amen," and
returned a letter congratulating their French breth
ren on entertaining the true sentiment ! These
French and English clergymen are imitating the
bad example of the Yankee preachers. In the
North and in Europe they are the devil's best tools,-'
and his majesty is using them.
EMaj-Gen. R- S. E well, having been promoted
to Lieut-General, has been placed in command of
Jackson's corps, and was received with great satis
faction by the army.
Arrested. James A. Eddie, the confidential
clerk who robbed James H. Taylor, the Charleston
Auctioneer, of abont $19,000, was arrested in Rich
mond last week.
Some seven or eight deserfers were brought
down from Randolph on Tuesday night of last
week. In some sections of the State these lawless
creatures are becoming a perfect terror to peaceable
citizens, and not only the militia officers, but the
people, generally, will have to turn out and arrest
them for the safety and security of their own
families and property, if for no other motive. We
learn thakthe deserters are so desperate in portions
of Randolph that citizens are afraid to go abroad
after dark. One lady in that county, while absent
at a funeral week before last, had her premises
robbed by them of everything sKe had. -Raleigh
Progress.
We learn that many ofilie letters which sol
diers receive from their relatives and friends at
home induce desertion. Some of these letters
make unnecessary and unjustifiable complaints of
hard times, &c, and seme falsely represent that
oar Judges have decided the conscript law un
constitutional, and that if they (the soldiers) will
come home they will be protected against arrest.
Letters of this kind are doing much harm, and
bringing disgrace and death upon many a soldier.
An officer informs us that one of his men received
a letter from bis mother and got an officer to read
it for him. The mother, in her letter,, actually
advised her son to desert, and stated that there,
were 8 or 10 deserters then in her neighborhood
who were not molested. It is true, the mother
and son in this instance are quite illiterate, but theJ
letter was written by some one with more intelli
gence, and no doubt an enemy to the cause.
The Substitute Business. At last a pan
acea for the ills of - substitution in the army has
bcenTound, which, if it does not check it alto
gether, will go far towards suppressing the frauds
by "which so many persons are swindled.' By an
order from headquarters all substitute papers, to
be valid or or any avail, must be countersigned by

A INCIDENT A Yankee Hero. & member
'of the 3d N. C Cavalry communicates (he follow
ing laughable incident to the Wilmington Journal:'
During Gen. Longstreet's investment of Suff
olk, and on the day that Col. Connally's 55th regi
ment N. C. troops reinforced the- rifle pits in such
splendid style,, an incident occured ludicrously
illustrative of Yankee chivalry, and which
though there was an awful fire 4'rom the etfemy's
artillery at that time. produced a shout of laugh
ter in that gallant regiment. A Yankee regiment
was sent out under cover of their artillery, to pre
vent Connaliy from reinforcing the pits. The
Colonel of this regiment advanced it " through a
partially cleared ground, where there was once a
dwelling house. A solitary chimney stood there.
Behind this chimney the heroic Colonel "took his
stand," while his regiment moved forward. They
had not gone far, however, before the 55th opened
on them, causing them to waver and halt. The
redoubtable Colo'uel stuck his head out from be
hind the chimney and cheered, them on. Another
volley, and th i Yankees began to break. What
are you running foryou cowardly" (whis went a
bullet by his head, which immediately popped
back.) Another volley, and the Yankees began to
scatter "in confusion. "Stand up to 'em, boys"
(whiz and another duck of the head.) "Damn
you, go back. What are you running for?"
(These words were uttered befwecn alternative
bobs of the head.) "Go back; fight 'em, you
cowards," he screamed from behind the chimney.
Bat it was "no go," and the panic became general.
Just about this time a solemn "rebel" voice called
4 out "Come out from behind that chimney. -J see

The Importation of Liquoiv. A corre3
pondent of the Charleston Courier says:
During the past week there was advertised and
sold in Charleston, by three respectable firms, as a
portion of cargoes funning the blockade, 785
packages, consisting of cases, barrels, pipes and
hogsheads of whiskey, brandy, gin, &o.t the pro
fits of which may fee estimated from the fact that a
barrel of whiskey may cost in Cincinnati $6 to
$10; in Nassau, after a chemical change to repre
sent foreign liquors, 815 to 820; and will bring in
Charleston from 81200 to 82000.
It is easy to foresee the effect on prices w"bjch
would be made by the importation of 785 pack
ages of shoes and clothing every few weeks in the
place of the same number Of liquor packages.

DISMISSAL OF A BRITISH CONSUL
Richmond, June 4. The President has revoked and
Annulled the exequatur heretofore given to George.
Moore as British Consul fur this city, ia consequence
of his assuming to act in, behalf of the Government of
Her Brittanic Majesty on matters occurring in the
State of Mississippi. He was requested to submit to
the Secretary of State his eonsular commission before
further correspondence cofeld be held with him as
British Consul for the Port of Richmond: Without
acceeding to this request he entered into correspondence
as Her Majesty's Consul with the Secretary of War,
thereby disregarding the legitimate authority of this
Government. .
We are truly glad that the President dismissed the
gentleman. The Government of England is an enemy
to our cause and a friend to oar enemies.

ggy-One hundred and ninety-eight Yankee
prisoners', captured ou the Mississippi, we learn,
passed through this place yesterday afternoon en
route for Richmond, we suppose to be exchanged.
They were beyond doubt the meanest looking set
of men we ever saw, and were evidently ot the
lowest order of Western Yankees. Many of them
were barefoot, all of them ragged and looked as if
they had been half starred for months. We learn
that eight thousand more aref n the way. ' Wil
