88 W. J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CnARfiOTTE. N. C. October 24, 1865. he Convention' adjourned on Thursday last to meet again on the 1st day of May, 1866. Some important ordinances were passed at the close of the session. One refuses to pay any debt of the State rnado in aid of the war. but re quires the Legislature to make provision for pay ing the old or nnte-war debt. Another gives the County Courts jurisdiction inxrioiinal cases the same as before the war. Another authorixes the formation of military companies in each county tfbr the preservation of law and order. A list of Captions of Ordinances passed will be found in another column. The Candidates fok Governor The election for Governor of North Carolina is to be held on Thursday the 9th day of November. William W. Holden of Wake, (the present incum bent under the Provisional Government,) and Jonathan Worth of Randolph county, are an nounced as candidates. Mr Worth claims to tie a thorough Union man Mr Holden's position a well known to the public generally. As a public journalist, wo have never had any concealments to make in regard to our position on public affair! or towards public men; there fore we announce our determination to support Mr Holden. Others may do as they please, but we think that in supporting Mr Holden we are pursuing the course bet calculated to promote on early restoration of civil law over the people of the State. We do not claim to belong to the Vtraightest sect' or the conservative" party at present we care nothing for parties we prefer the restoration of civil law and civil liberty to the success of any purty or particular individual. We firmly believe that Mr Holden can do more thnn any other man in this State to relieve the people from the difficulties consequent upon the failure to establish the Confederacy, and believ ing this we feel it our duty to pursue the course determined upon, without stopping to consider whe ther it shall prove popular or unpopular. We regret that there is to be a contest in the State at the present time, just as we as a people ro emerging from a critical and perilous situa tion. Until within the pat week or two it was generally understood that there was to be no op position to the election of Gov. Holden. One month ago there was scarcely a man to be found anywhere who would say thero ought to be op position, but oji the contrary there was a pretty general expression of opinion that there ought not to be oppos;tiin. What has caused this sudden movement to defeat Gov. Holden ? If there has been a change in his conduct as Provisional Governor, it has been in latterly exhibiting more leniency and liberality than formerly. We know that some men who are now -pretty . busy in op position to Hidden, courted and accepted his ser vices to promote aud benefit themselves at a time when they could not get along without his aid and their present conduct is ungrateful to say the leact of it. But whatever may bo the cause of this sudden opposition, we look on it as very unfortunate, and, we fear, injurious to us as a people in our present situation. ? We have no personal mitis t promote by favor ing Mr Holden's election, neither have we had ny personal understanding with him or any of liis particular friends on the subject we shall voto for him muinly on the ground that we con sider him the most suitable man to fill the office of Governor under the circumstanoes in which vre as a people have been plaoed by tho war, and because there appeared to be a general under standing until quite recently that there -was to be no opposition. a 7'he State Convention, last week, by a una tihnous rote, pns.ed a resolution of thanks to Gov. Holden. Let this fact be remembered. There are many men in the Convention who heretofore differed with Mr Holden, yet they voted for or raised no objection to a resolution returning him thanks for the manner in which he has discharged his duties as Provisional Governor. If he has acted unfairly would the Convention have endors ed him by a unanimous vote ? CF If people will not save their papers con taining important Laws and Ordinances, they must not expect us to furnish copies hereafter. -- mm mm - fr The South Carolina Conference will com mence its annual sessions in this town on Wed nesday, November 1st. Our oountry friends will leae remember tliat eatables will be in demand about that time. Candidates for Congress. The following candidates have been announced for Congress : 3st District Jesse R Stubbs of Martin. 2d Iitriet C C Clark of Craveu. 3d District Nathaniel McLean of Robeson.

The Raleigh Standard, speaking of the uncertainty of relying on free negro labor, truthfully remarks : - "It is a settled fact that our lands mast be worked- No business can thrive without mm.

We of the cities do not now especially feel the utter prostration of agri cult ure, because farmers and everybody else are forced of necessity to buy necessaries. But they spend not a shilling unnecessarily, and are keep ing and makiirg all the money they can from their little surplus produce. Now, we do believe that the majority of the negroes will never voluntarily settle down to hard labor, unless the laws of the country bring them to it. These laws must be simple in order to meet their limited comprehen sion, just in order to secure satisfactory and friendly relations, and immediate because the war left us on the verge of suffering, and another year ot anarchy will plunge us into actual misery. We invite public attention again to this matter." School Books. Sterling & Albright, book printers at Greensboro, N. are still publish ing their series of School Books, consisting of Grammars, Arithmetics, Readers and Spellers. These books have been gotten up with special reference to the wants of Southern Schools, and deserve the patronage of our own people at least. Arrangements have been made, we are informed, to bring out the future editions of these books in the very best style of illustration and mechanical execution. The representatives eff Mecklenburg in the late Convention (Messrs. Alexander and Mclvjer) re turned home on Saturday last. They have dis charged their duties in the best manner it was possi ble to do under the circumstances, und are entitled to the approbation of their constituents. We are under martini law, surrounded by sol diers nd worried and robbed by negroes. The Northern fanatics say we shall remain so until we allow the negro to vote, to testify in court, and to set in our juries. President Johnson says if we folfow his plans he will restore us to the Union at once, and to civil law. Shall we sustain the President and return to civil law, or shall we fol low other plans and remain under martial law. soldiers and negroes. Raleigh Standard. We support Gov. Iloldon because we think he can relieve us from martial law and its evils quicker than any other man. President Johnson and Mr. Holden have always been personal and political friends, and we do not entertain a doubt rbut that Holden has more influence with the President than has any other Individual in the Southern States. If the State is not received into the Union by the next session of Congress, Mr. Holden will continue to be Provisional Gov ernor, and the State will ke kept under military rule. We beg the people to consider seriously be fore they determine to ute against Holden in the present contest. .- Impoktant Statement. Gen. Howard, tho Chief of the Freedman's Bureau, in a speech at Raleigh week before last, stated that negro chil dren could be apprenticed or bound out. We suppose, though, some action on the matter by our Legislature will first be required. We publish on our first page an interesting sketch of Gen. Howard's speech. South Carot.ina. Tho election for Governor and members of tho Legislature took place in South Carolina on Wednesday last. James L. Orr has been elected Governor. In York District. G. W. Williams has been elected to the Senate, and A. B. Springs, A. R. Wallace, J. W. Rawlinson and W. C. Black to the House. Mcrpered. The Rev. Mr Castleman, the Episcopal Clergyman at Gaston, N. C was mur dered in the streets of that village one night last week . by some unknown person. It was not known that he had an enemy in the world. A secessionist can gain nothing by supporting Mr. Worth. He -will only jeopardize himself. A Union man can gain nothing by supporting Mr. Worth, because he is a candidate of a faction opposed to President Johnson and the Governor, without any reason or ground of complaint. The only safe way to act is to vote for Gov. Holden, who has proven himself a true friend to all who needed a friend. Raleigh Standard. Mr. Worth, it is understood, was as much-opposed to the establishment of the Confederacy as was Mr. Holden, so those who stood by the Confederacy during the war have no reason on this point,; to prefer the former to the latter. .

C The following important dispatch was received from the President of the United States, by Governor Holden, and was at once forwarded by him to the President of the Convention : Washington City, Oct 18, 1865. W. W. Holden, Prov. Governor : Every dollar of the State debt created to aid the rebellion against the United States should be repudiated, finally and forever. The great mass of the people should not be taxed to pay professing themselves loyal to the government of Ko United Sftf and in th Union i I repeat, that the loyal people of North Caro ! lina should be exonerated from tbe payment of every dollar of indebtedness created to aid in i carrvinz on the rebellion. I trust and hope : that the people of North Carolina will wash their hands of everything that partakes in tbe slight est degree ot the rebellion,. which has been so recently crushed by the strong arm of the gov ernment, in carrying oat the obligations imposed by the Constitution of tbe Union. (Signed) ANDREW JOHNSON, President United States. After the reception of this letter tbe Convention passed the Ordinance refusing to pay the war debt. CORRESPONDENCE. Raleigh, N. 0., Oct. 14, 18C5. HOD. W. W. IIOLDKH Sir : The undersigned members of the State Con vention of North Carolina, fully appreciating your earnest and effective efforts towards restoring our State to her constitutional relations with the Fed eral Government, and being desirous that that res toration should be complete! by one under whose guidance it has been so auspiciously begun, respect fully request that you will allow your name to be placed before the people of North Carolina for the office of Governor, at the ensuing election.

Jonathan Harris. Raleigh, Oct. 17, 1865. Gentlemen : Your letter of the 14th instant, rer questing me to be a candidate for Goveruor at the ( lection to be held on the 9th of next month, has been received. I beg to assure you that I am very grateful for this proof of your esteem and confidence. I did not seek the place I new occupy, nor have I sought a nomination for election by the people. I have been content to do my duty to the best of my ability, under the instructions of the President, and to leave my conduct to be judged by an intelligent and indulgent people. I do not fear that judgment. My duties have been, in many respects, new, un usual, and very onerous. I had no lights to guide me in the work of reorganizing and reconstructing an American State, save the instructions received from time to time from the President; and neces sarily, those instructions have been only of gen eral character. My paramount concern has been, so to do that part of the work assigned to me as to secure the restoration of the State to the Union at the earliest practical period. To what extent I have succeeded in this respect it is for the. people to say. I can only declare', as I most solemnly do, that I have labored with an eye single to the good and the glory of North Carolina; and that, what ever may be the decision of the people on the ninth of November, I shall always possess the conscious nee.' that I am a faithful and devoted son of our dear old State, ant .that I have labored with zeal, ami with what success my poor faculties could com mand, to improve tbe condition of her people, and to restore her to her appropriate and natural position in the Union. Gentlemen, it is not agreeable to my feelings in a crisis like the present, when everything dear to us depends upon union and harmony among our selves, to speak of parties. I deprecate faction and bitter party spirit as the bane of the Republic. The evils we are now suffering, wilh all the calamities that have befallen us, may be traced to this source. As Provisional Governor of the State, in all I have said and done, I have known no party but the sin cere friends of the Union. I am neither a Democrat nor a Whig. Both these parties were buried in the grave of the rebellion. All 1 can say is, I am a North Carolinian, heart and soul "I am an Ameri can," the proudest, expression that can issue from human lips; and while I hold, with Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay, that the people are th source of all power in this country, and alone entitled to role, I declare that the only party to which I belong is the National Union party , composed of the best ele ments of all the' old parties, of which Andrew John son is the head. '! If elected Governor by the people, I will do every thing I can to promote the prosperity and happiness of North Carolina, and to secure her return at the earliest moment to her place in the Federal Union. With many tLaaLs, gentlemen, for the confidence you have reposed in me, and for the very flattering manner in which you have been pleased to allude to me in your letter, I have the honor to be, Your most obedient servnn, W. HOLDEN. Pardons. Two hundred and forty -four par dons have been received at the Executive Office in Raleigh for North Carolinians.

Jdf Ths recent news from Mexico is interest ing. Not only have a large number of distin guished military and civil officials of the late Southern Confederacy made the capital of Mex ico a city of refuge, but they have been received with a cordiality which is not often shown to these who have by flight escaped being crushed beneath the ruins of an overthrown and extinct government. That most eminent man of science, Mathew F. Maury, ha3 been already naturalized by Maximilian, and assigned to a position where his vast scientific attainments can be made useful to his imperial patron. Other well-knowu and distinguished Confed erates have been appointed Commissioners of Im migration They are Gen. Sterling Price, Hon. John Perkins and Gov. lshaiu G. Harris. All of these gentlemen were well known to the peo ple of the United States before the commence ment of the civil war. All were at different times members of the Federal Congress. ' What Political Preaching hat Done for the Church A Western New York correspondent of the New York Independent, Beecher's paper, makes the following confession : m The present social and religious condition of New York, unlike that of the New England colo nies, is deficient iu institutional Christianity. hat is to say, the churches are not a general bond of union in the communities iu which they are loca ted. They; unite a few, but upon a majprity of the people they have no hold, receive from them a rare attendance, and very limited contributions in money, if any at all, and hence their strength and increase have not kept pace with the growth of wealth and population. Some of the churches existing here fifty years ago we now much weaker than formerly, and others have become wholly extinct, and that, too, without being absorbed by other denominations. It seems to be not 'so much a change of sentiment las a neglect of all churches. REMEMBER. ' We make no claims to having been a Union man after the war commenced we did all in our power for the Confederate cause bat the people of this section -of the State will remember that in the Fall of I860, five years ago, when secession meetings were being held, we refused to particir pate in such meetings, and advised caution and moderation we positively refused to vote for the first secession candidates brought out in this county. For our course then we were abused and denounced as a submissionist. We have no regrets for opposing the commencement of the war, neither do we regret the aid we gave the South after the war commenced. In 1860 we felt it our duty as a public man to use our influence to save the people from trouble and destruction, but after tho strife commenced we felt bound to stand by oaf own section and do all we could to aid the Confederate cause. And now, in I860, in advising a support of Mr. Holden for Governor, we claim to be prompted by a sincere desire to promote the good of the people aud prevent strife and discord. We have always been willing to let by-gonea be by-goues. Since the close of the war Gov. Holden has shown a disposition to let by-gones be by-gones. By his wise management and conciliatory course, peace and quiet have reigned within our borders no property has been libelled for confiscation no man has been punished for his past acts everything seemed to be progressing harmonious ly, until suddenly a bitter opposition to the Gov ernor has been sprung, and the people are called upon to condemn and defeat him. The Conven tion gave a unanimous vote of thanks to the Gov ernor and approved his course, und "there appears to bo no good reason for the violent opposition manifested to him within the hist week. Is strife, and discord, and contention, to be engendered among the people of North Carolina simply because two or three men have not been pardoned as soon as their friends think they ought to have been ? No man who has properly approached the Governor has been refused a kind and respectful hearing. He has not desired to see any of his fellow-citizen injured or their pro perty confiscated. He has had the power to levy special taxes upon the excepted classes, even after they have been pardoned, but he has not done so. He still has that power, but has thus far refused to exercise it ; and yet a great- fuss is being kicked up in the State because he lias, not bowed down to a few individuals who think themselves worthy of peculiar notice and consideration. In Kentucky, Tennessee and Yirginia strife has prevailed among tho people since the close of the war property has been sold under the confiscation act but here in North Carolina we have been saved from such troubles by the inter cession and good management of W. W.. Holden. We ask the public to remember these things. Is it right to repudiate him now after he has led us so far out of our difficulties ? We have hereto fore opposed him, but we intend to vote for him now if no other man in this county does so, be cause we honestly believe that he can do more than any other man in the South to restore our people to their ancient rights. No man can truthfully say that we are actuated by party feeling, for since the commencement of the war we have voted for fifteen candidates, and twelve of the fifteen were old whigs. - For the peace and quiet of the country we are still wil ling to let by-gones be by-gones. If strife, retal iation and bitter feeling should prevail in, the State hereafter, and United States troops kept over us, Holden will not be responsible for it, for since he has been Governor he has tried to pre vent everything of the sort. Texas Bonds. Gov. Hamilton, of Texas, gives notice that one hundred and thirty-five United States Bonds, for one thousand dollars each, being United States Texan indemnity bonds of 1851, with coupons attached, have been made way with by Pendleton Murrah, ex Governor of that State, under a pretended con tract with George W White and John Chiles, which Governor Hamilton det ounces as a fraud and conspiracy between Murrah and the others. The parties have fled, and . carried the bonds with them, and notice is given that they have no property in them, and a protest against pay ing them has been filed with the Secretary of the Treasury. .. " Gov. Brownlow, in his annual message tCfce Legislature of Tennessee, says : "I am convinced that the white and colored people cannot live together politically or socially as equals. Emigration should be fostered and encouraged, and a commission stationed at the East to secure a numerous foreign emigration of skilled labor." New York, Oct. 19 Montgomery Blair spoke in the Democratic meeting last night. He denounced th negro suffrage and recom mended that the freedmcn be coloniz -d; was in favor of expelling Maximilian from - Mexico, at the risk of war. Van Buren and Cox also spoke. Boston, Oct. 19 Windcll Phillips in a lec ture last night, declared President Johnson,. in his speech to the South Carolina delegation, ranged himself with the half converted rebels. He also denounced Muj. Gen. Banks as a vagrant and mountebank. mm . Terrible Tragedy. We hear of an awful tragedy that transpired last week in the town of Shilob, Randolph coutitv, Illinois. It appears that two physicians, Die. Campbell and Minner, ot that place, recently sent to the drug store of A. A. Anderson, of Chester, for a quantity of calomel.. In one day the medicine was admin istered to forty patients, when it was "discovered that with the calomel there was mixed corrosive sublmiatc, a violent poison. AH of the patients were taken with alarming symptoms, and in the cases of .seven of them the result had proved fatal at the date of our advices, and it was feared that others would not survive. Among those whose death ensued were a family named Mel linger, consisting of a man, wife and child. A sister of Dr. Campbell, an intelligent and inter esting young lady, died in a few hoars after having taken the dose prescribed by her broth er.' The calomel containing the poison wis put up in the ordinary way, and bad not been tam pered with after leaving the store of a wholesale druggist in St. Louis, by whom it was imported from England. Tbe presence of coirosive eub limaf$ was probably due to a culpable careless ness, rather ttitfa design, at the laboratory of the manufacturer. If this hypothesis is correct, it is terrifyiog to think of the possible conse quences in other parts of the country. St. Lovis Republican. Tue Corros Market. New York, Oct 17. Eight thousand bales Savannah and Sea Island cotton, belonging to government, were sold ai auction to-day at gold rates.
