does not know, just as well as the Standard knows,
that the Observer never gave or professed to give any
ttcoount whatever of the meeiiog at Qreensboro. We
knew nothing and bad beard nothing about it; but sAnply

by a writer in the Confederate to have occurred, and

Opposition to.ihe war id toe Nnnh is certainly inorea^-

of the war. They want pcac(»as ifueh a'^.wedf' Con

character of the Mai*. They look upon it a!»o as fraught
mith incalculable misery to both races in both secti ns
The madness and fotly of Lincoln jn this respect are
operating in otir favor. Now is the time to pret‘ent one
compact tron^at every point. We can lose nothing by
it, but on the contrary we may gain every thing: We
repeat, if our enemies Should fail at all peints for the
next three months, that failure mutt tend to a cessation
of hostilities, or to ar. armistrre, which will be a long
■lep towards peace. But wha if they should strcc'-rd?
Ttie war will bt- prolcn,^ed, aud our sufferings will be
increased tenfold. StarTation will be added to the
horrors which would follow in the traib of their tri
umphant forees «
We believe that we have enough regiments in the
field if they are kept well filled, f^e must have men
to cultivate our fields and men to fight ‘Let the former
make every grafb of corn and every pound of meat they
can, and let the latter, to a man, rally to tbeir regiments. ‘
Let no soldier so.ikct as to liave it thrown up to him
hereafter, that he was a deserter or an otttlier. It
makes no difference whether we approve of the measures
by whieh ihe war was brought on or not; we ve in it,
and we mnst fight it out. We depUre those measures
as mueh as any one, but tley bekng to the unalterable
past We cannot change them nor their coaseqUences,
by df-ploring tt em. We c»n only prrfit by thwu in Ihe
future. We repeat, tee mutt fight There u no other way
to peace but by tubmistton to Abraham Lincoln. Who

govemmentf It it not the government that it^teai, but a
rank and bloody uturpation. Our people wiil not be
foTud te do auj tiling. They will decide their own
destiny. It is true, no one can foresee the end of the
struggle. It may end in the ruin of every North Amer
ican S:*te; but if Wk are true to ourselves, to our an-
veitors, and to our ehildrcn, we at least is North Caro
Una will never ohU any section or any man master
But Providence permits no mortal to foresee events.
He shows us our duty, and if we perform it, events will
take care of themselves, l^uty, duty, duty—let us all
ao that. We can do do otiserwise, and be true men.
We appeal to our gallant coldiers who are absent, to
hasten to their celors. They will be unjust to their own
reputation, and unjust to their comrades who impatient
ly await thtir return, if they linger lopger. Peace is to
' e desired above all earthly blessings, but it can be
reaohed only through blood and suffering To your

fsBD THB SoLoiEEs.—We have Seen no recommenda
tion in regard to the existing scarcity of food in the ar
my that strikes us more favorably than the following.
Yet it is susceptible of cue additional recommendation,
viz: ihat thtse wh« can afford to send more than their
own SODS may need, should put in the same box some

Goou iiiQNS.—In the yankee Conpress, the Admiai?t-
tratiun hi>s tnd«avored to (tei a repeal of the law au
thorizing drafteU m«n to buy out by paying $B00. ?tui
the House r«‘fused to rfpt tl. 73 to 2G. Toej then tried
lo gel the uommutaiiou rais>^d from ^^00 to $400. Re-
^^cted. Next, they prpposed that when a man paid bis
$300 he should be liable to the n«xt dr»ft, instfad of
btiDg exempted lor three years. Rejected, 79 to 49.
These are remarkable votes, in a bc'iy coniaintng a
li*rge aonimisuratiou rtajority. Ibey indicate that the
people are opposeil to going into the army, and that
their Represeniuivt.B dare not take steps to force them
in. Upon the whole, says the Richmond Sentinel, it is
luatitfesi that the war has told Iti jst powerfully on Lin
coln’s available resources of men. The giant staggers!
Sow is the lime fur us to rush to* a.ruji, with reiiewed
«nergy and enthusiasm, and. by-tlie blei-siug of God, we
at) ill soon win the day!
ftK EBtUTMENTS.—The noblo work is still going on.
.\oiong those in the army of Northern Virginia are in
cluded the Brigades of Daniel, Johnston, Ratoeeur,
Lane—all North Carolinians.
Plast Potatoes.—Irish Potatoes, planted now will
make a crop of great value in the Spring, relieving in
a degree the w>*ni from the scarcity of corn and meat
Uut potatoes for planting are so hig^ that many are de-
te-red from buying ' A merchant who i» selliog all be
bau at cost, ($1(> a bushel,) requests ns to urge all the
Jeiilers ii> town to do likewise, to Bacrifioe profit on

Both movements are worthy of tua atientioa and ap
proval of our townsmen.
_ CoHiiDsaATE Tax.—The Charlotte Demoerat thinks

fHc hundreds of his neighbortf who not only knew that
it was a sliinder, but that hr knew it to be as.
We did jaot euggeet any pl»n “to prevent th« free ex
pression of opiiiion.” We sugrested the propriety of
tiucb sn expresfio-o. The meeticg^ held by the {Stand
ard's followers aro all trumpeted forth not as party but
as '■•fuhlic meetings.” As such all eitiiens have a right
to attend them, to sprak and to vote. We sugxested
ihaf they do there thing#, and cited t”he happy result of
suohafv course at Thompson’s Store in Wake, as a rea
son for adopting the sug^esticm.
Nkw. StJH"uaiBEBs—Oue .CiBcuLATioii.—We have
been .adding from a half **tok»n” to a “token” per week
(6 to 10 quires) to oar impression for some time past, but
we vannot always calculate with certainly upon the ad
dition required. So it was on Monday, and wheo the
last mail was re« iy to leave the office on Monday night
we had but a dosen papers left. Thia will explain to a
large number of new subscribers our inability to supply
tbeir orders received oi^ Monday night and Tuesday
morning
The Raleigh Standard of the 9th reaohed ua at sun
set of that day with a batch of “extracts from letters,”
containing some half dozen allusions to the Observer,
the spirit of nhich may be expressed by the following
brief epistle:
“Moobk Co., Jao. 80, 18t>4.
“The O^erver is dyinic its natural death. But few
persons are takihg it in this part of the County.”
We keep at our desk what we call “alteration bodks,”
on which are recorded from day to day all changes^
new entries, stoppages, changes of office—from which
twice a week our mail books are set in order. Laugh
ing over the Standard’s “extracts,” we had the curiosi
ty to take up tlvese alteration books and see how mnny
“hun4reds” we had lost, haw muohfoearer our “nata-
ral death” the preceding 24 hours—from sunset on Mon
day to sunset Tuesday—had brought us. We gather
ed the following results: That from *bont 100 letters
we'had mtered 122 subscribers at 4 Post Offioes in the
army, 2 in South Carolina, 1 in Florida, and 53 offioes
;n 2f» North Car»;lina counties, viz; kobeson, Randolph,
Bladen, Yidkin, Cleveland, Orange, Alamanoe, Cabar
rus, Fr&nkliu, Alexander, Narttampton, Bavidson, Ire
dell, Richmond, Daplin, Greene, Brunswick, fiuBoombe,
Stanly. Anson, Chatham, Harnett, Sampson, Oifilford,
Montgomery, Moore, Cumberland Md Rutherford.
We were 6 nearer our “death” iji Moore, that being
the' number entered from that county. To tell the
uhole truth, we mnst go on and let our readers knew
waat we found under the heading “stop.” We found
the name of ona gentleman in Cabarrus, who had be-
oome so disgusted with reading the OBserver once a
week t^t—why, ha sent us tt»e money ta stop it and
take it twice a week.
The letters received that day, as every day, gave the
Standard “fits,” but it seeias to us beneath the dignity
of the press to publish sueh things, and we tmit them
as carefully aa we do the very grateful cOmmendalicns
of the Observer, Ttie comtiiuuications sent us for
publication bitterly assailing the Standard have been,
we V jiieve, invariably omitted. What, we want said
about that paper wc are prepared to say ourselves.
Hon. John Bbll asd Asdv Joassoa.—These two
have b«m amcag tke most prominent mtn in Tennessee
for a qu irter of a cf'ctury past. Be^ was a statesman
—a whig—who labored for the perpetuation of a “Con
(Titutijnal Uniou-” He was denoucoed for his opin
ions and action by Johnson and bis followers; as ‘Un
true to the South and unsound on ths slavery question.”
The war came on, and Tennessee oast her lot with the
South, Mr Bell approving o' the act. He bas^ con
sequence of his devotion to the South lost his large
property, many of his slaves have been stolen by the
yankees, and he is an exile from his home. The mis
erable demagogue Johnson, on the cont^ry, has gone
over to Lincoln, is rewarded with office for his treach
ery, and is now preaching emancipation.
These are glaring instaccen, but by no means singu
lar. We have such in our own State, and they doubt
less exist everywhere ’ There are some hon«st men and
many demagcgneein all communities.
Pateiotic —In Virginia, several of the moss-emlnoiit
staiesnea, among thjm Gov. Smith and Mr. Flouraoy,
have devoted tbemselves to addressing the people in
various '«snuiies and towns, on the condition of the
country and the duty of petriots to exert themselves to
rromofe the success of the great cause in whioh the
Coafedtracy is engaged. Id Georgia, Uuwell Cobb aud
Bishop Pierce, two of the finest orators that Georgia
ever pro'tuced. are do'og tbe same thing. TJieie are
x(eptional capes. As to t*-e great body of the stump
upeukers, the AtUi^ti Confederacy asks:—
‘•Where are tte men of oratorical ability at this crisis?
Where are the men who, when there are election con
tetts on band, aro found in every locality to enter tbs
field for persooal ends, and are now mate? Ihair ao
cents are heard at evury political gai hiring Their
voices swell iao loud tonei of denunciation and mutual
xeproaoh at every barbecue and stuiap theatre cf poli
tical e}oqu3nc6. Why are they mute now, when oratory
cffuld do mtjch good?. Awake, ye wen of might, ia the
fields of oratorical fame! Here are laurels to be gathered
worthy of the hlgbest flights of genius and the siiblimcst
pfforts.”
Sebvkd TiiKM Riqut.—We have heard cf cases in
whioh so called “peace men” in this State bave argued
that they might hope for exemption ^om insult and the
oontiscatioa.of jheir prop^ty, should' tbe yankees get
poAsession of it, because they were against the war and
in favor of reconstruction. They forget the well estab
lished principle, that while the treason may be relished
by bad men, the traitor is always despised by good and
bad. Tae following statement of the Richmond Dis
patch is a case in point:
'^Soine of the Uifion people who fell into the hands’of
their y«nkee friends on the ooftasion of Averill’s raid in
Western Virginia, were effectually cured of their trea
sonable propensities by tue treatment they naet with.
One Union man naised Wolf, in Allegbany, whose pro
perty was not rospacted by the freebooters under Lin
coln s banner, is r^^y to bushwhack his former chain-
pions.. One defenceless widow, who professed her un
wavering Unionism, and alleged in corroboration that

VVtieti our struggle for liberiy cominenced his two eldest
SODS voliiuttiered ana went forth with their father’s'ap-
provii to battle for oar rigots. He wrote them often,
always kindly and wisely advising and encouraging them
in the cause to which they had alreafly ibowB themselves

camp at Evaa-port, Va His oljier ao^ who waa then
in camp at Raleigh went, and with much diffioulty,
br>j«igbt home the remains of his deceased brother to
he interrec^^in .the family burying ground. The death
of this young and sprightly son was a sore bereavment
to his father at’d family. But yet his faith in ?od
remained unshaken; though greater-trials yet awaited
him. On the 4th of Sept last, he was again bereft of
his kinc^nd dutiful'daughter, Mrs. M. A. Lutbcr, who
died at'^ort Anderson, while there on a visit to ber
husband, who was in the serviise ef his couciry. His
grief for the loss of the eon and daughter waa very
gr^at, and he often re'marked that he would freely hav^
given his own life, could they haye lived. During his
last illness, which wad of the mast aggravating char

he wae never in a single instance’heard to murmur.
The Lor.d greatly blessed him during his affl'Ction,
in removing all doubts ^rom bis mind to his accept
ance with God. I'tais gave him grer-t consolation and
enabled him to rejoice in hope of tne glory of God.
When his friends visited him he received them kiadlj^
and cheerfully and told them what tbe Lord had done
for him and “asked them to meet him in heaven.-"
“Tell all my absent friends to liye good Christians, and
meet me in a better world,” wer** *Ttoag hit last words

me inheav«n.” ^is luiud all tbe while remained
sotlhd. ’ To thfe latest hour of his life his reasoning
faoulties appeared not to suffer in the least. Thus he
passed quietly, calmP- and peaceably into the spirit

upon his countenance. Be leaves an affectionate daugh
