I could instance the same thing In other States.
Suppose a ahnilar order was extended to North Caro
lina by ih» Confederate governor ent, what a clamor
thare wtwld be Almost every man in the State would
be stripped^ of his property, because every man has
some objeotion to make to Mr. Davis’s administratinn,
Mpaoially when its own friends criticiM it so freely.
Now, oould you make your property any more secure
by trusting it it the hands of this Despotism that has
set at defiance every principle of justice, every article
of ths Constitution that stood in its way; that has re
garded neither the voice nor rifrhts of citixens or com
munities? Would it not be better for you to stand at
home and sustain the arm of yonr own Judjcea and
Executive; encourage them to preserve your rights as
far as is possible in the midst of a great, all absorbieg
and desolating war? Ar a matter of conrne yon ecu d

yelled the wajfnner. “Well” said the boy, as be rolled

If yon have with one of your neighbors a suit in
conrt and wish to effect a compromise, and he finds out
yru have no witnesses summoned, he will nonsuit yon.
But if you take him aside and say. “John this suit has
b^en going on a long time; I am mighty tired of it. and
I know you are lean make you pay the co.ts, you j mon“h^.“'then were consoribed
know I oan I have all mr witnesses and papers ready.
and if you have anything to say for compromise I am
ready to talk with you,”—there is hope of coming to
terms.
If you want to negotiate with a ruffian, you must
hold your weapons in ynur baud. If you would nego
tiate with a brutal and unscrupulous foe. do no disband
your armies; do net discourage them; keep them cloth
ed, fed—throw forward your skirmishers, draw np your
battalions and regiments in line of battle—finger upon
the trigger,—place your cannon in position—loaded,
primed—the gunners with liatstock ab)aie—then hold
np your olive branch, and say to Mr. Lincoln, “we want
peace, what tay you?” If he has nothing to say, fire,
by the geds, fire.' (Great applause )
A good many people have gotten out of heart Many
men say it is not worth while for our sons to be slaugh
tered any longer; that the enemy have gotten the ad
vantage of us; they have got numbers, they have get
wealth, they have got munitiens of war; sooner or later
the weak must come down before thp strong, and we
had better make terms while we can. and so on.
Fellow citizens, we do not know what we can do until
we try. There never was a war upon the face of the
earth, that has been, iu my opinion, so badly managed;
but we have, notwithstanding, accomplished wonders
Every body told us when the war broke eat, It would
not last six months. Many of our politicians assured
us they would wipe up with a pocket handkerchief ail
the blood that would be spilled. Well. I iaiagiae most
ff thees have wiped np with a pocket handkerchief all
they aave or are likely to spill [A voice, “centre shot.”]
Why, the Confederate Congiess at Montgomery provid
ed for a loan of only fifteen million dollars The Sec
retary of the Treasury could not imagine what he
would do with so much money. He must feel greatly
relieved bow that thsre is no danger of the surplus re-
maining on his hands. No effort was made to employ
the best basis of credit a people ever had—our cotton.
If oar army had been dependent on the directive intel
ligence of the general government, alone, we would
have had no troops in the field. There never was a peo
ple in such commercial vassalage aa were we to the peo
ple of the North. About every thing we had, except
honor, came from the Yankees If you called to see a
lady, you found her dressed from head to foot in Van-
kee goods; the furniture was of Yankee make; the
broom vbich swept the hearth was Yankee; th^ wood
on the fire had been cut with a Yankee axe, having a
Yankee axe handle. But turning your attention to
yourself yon would find that from the hat you had on
to the shoe pegs in your Yankee shoes, made by some
“cute” fellow who “calculated,” as he drove the pine
pegs through the paper sole, that he could “fool them
Southern chaps.” you could not touch a garment made
in the South. We even had Yankee butter on our ta
bles, and I verily believe, it it had been practicable,
we would have ordered hot buckwheat cakes every
morning from Yankee land. [Laughter.] Well, the
consequence of all this was that when the great war
came upon us, nobody was ready, and wo were like a
great big terrapin on our back, working our lege and
unable to turn over. [Laughter ] There was not a
pound of powder manufactured in the Confederacy
Now we turn out several millions pounds per annum—
enough to blow all the Yankees to the devil I hope
Then there was not a cannon oast in the Confederacy.
Now our ordnance, from the mountain howitzer to the
great Brooke gun tbat hurls defiance to the iron dads,
is unsurpassed, and we make more riflrs than we can use
To show you what has been aud can be accomplished,
provided we have faith in ourselves, I will tell you a
little of what this State has done on her own lu)ok
When 1 oazae into the chair I now occupy and fill with
so much grace'and digni*yj(a laugh) there were not five
hundre.1 suits of clothine to be found in the Quarter
master’s Department. Now w4 have sixty thousand
suite of rea-iy made clothing awaiting the needs of our
troops. We have thirty thousand blankets, shoes. Im.
In fact, oar bojs have bo many good clothes that I un
derstand they trade them Otf for Uc^nnr aamatimas
(Laughter.) Will you set a limit to our energy after I
tell you among a hundred other things that is tho little
town of Tarboro', in this State, are mad» cases of keen,
glittering, surgical instruments, requiring the highest
degree of mechanical skill ia their production? They
will compare favorably with the bestspecimecs of Euro
pean manufacture Almost every man I see here to-day
is well clothed in the product of cur own looms; and the
Ladies, God bless them, look in their homespuns pret
tier than they ever did. We will soon be commercially
independent of the whole world We had originally,
including the States we claim, a population of eight
million white people and four million blacks. Now we
number not more than five million white people. How
many troops do you suppose Abraham has sent down
-gainst us* la April 1861 Lincoln called for seventy-
tive thousand men One month later he called for six-
y-four thousand. From July' to December (the old
fellow began to get scared) he called for five hundred
thousand men. In July 1862, he called for three hun
dred thousand; in August, 1R62, for three htmdred
thousand; in 1868, he drafted three hundred thousand,
and has a draft ddw pending for five hundred thousand
more; making in all about two million and thirty-nine
thousand men he has called for to send down* upon us
^almost half as many soldiers as we have men, women
and children in the Confederacy. Their locality Is
about a» questionable, if they have all started South,
as the passengers on'a irain at a smash-up described by
a darkey who was illustrating the difference between a
stage-coach and a railway accident: “If de stage turn
over, dar you is, bnt if de oars runs off, whar is yon?"
(Laughter.) Where are those immense masses? If we
have actually whipped and driven back two million
soldiers, there is encouragement to hope we can drive
back all he can possibly send against us But if these
two million troops have never l^en raised, there is en
couragement to believe Mr Lincoln is trying to scare
us by making a show of strength that does not exist,
and that the North is just about as tired of the war as
we are. So the view is encouraging from either stand
point.
But we know there have been immense numbers hurl
ed against us. Three hundred thousand troops, armed,
equipped and furnished to the highest degree that the
skill and wealth of the U. S. oould supply—surpeMing,
in this respect, any army that ever took the field in £u
tope—sod uniir aeien difiNatooBUMad«n,h»vtt tried
held millions of men in subjection Shall wr ever allow
ourselves to be put to shame by the valor of tbo^e who'*
are sometimes termed, in pot vary eletrant language,
‘•the d—d Dutch,’’ when Wf are possessed of resAurces
of which they never dreamed?
There was Scotland, whioh resisted the attempt of
tha Eufrllsh to subjugate her for four hundred years,
and finally overcame her enemies, and forord t^er^ to
Hcoept her king, James (he VI, as Tames the 1 of Kng
land. Thtire was the little duchy of Prussia, hardly big
enough for Frederick the Great to try one of bis long-
ranged r:un9 in without shootine over into » .me neigh*
boring territory. Well, this little countrj fought the
combined armies of fiv«* of tbe greatest powers in Eur-'pe
representirg a population of one hundred milUons, whilst
Prussia Imd a population of only five millions, for the
space of seven years, and finally came out with her na
tionality and liberties unimpaii'ed. and richer than when
sne went into the war, though during the bloody strife
her Capital bad been taken and ro taken half-a-Joz^n
times, and the c»untry was often ne scene of the
wildett desolation.

Virginia and the South, my heart jumped for jcy ag if
I heard of a great victory. And so it was, one of the
greatest ever achieved. It was the heat peace meeting
ever held yet, and did more to incliue the hearts of cur
enemies to negotiations. 1 forgot my* forebodings, and
felt ashamed thai I bad ever doubted, or grumbled at
my hard lot—for you must know that I tremble and
growl like the rest of you.
You do not, my fellow-citizens, end your duty when
you reluctantly let yonr sons go to the war. You must
•iMtain them there. When you write to vour boy, my
friend, do not tell him how badly you suffer, cr that his
wifie and children are crying for bread. Do not write
that the war ia all wrong; that the original secessionists
got us into this scrape, and that all tiis sacrifices and
sufferings are (or nothing. Keep these opinions fo*
pay-day When he is called upon to charge that dead
ly battery and storm those heights glittering with bay
onets, do not let his steps falter because of the sugges
tions you have made that it ia all for naught. Rather
let him be inspired by the reflection that bright eyes
are ready at home to reward his valor; that loving hearts
beat with pride at the n 'ws of his gallant achievements;
that h^s assisting in placing his country among the
proudest nations of the world, and he will rush forward
to the heights of victory; and if he falls, his last mo
ments will be disturbed by no doubts and regrets, but
he will calmly watch his life-blood ebb away, and with
his last breath thank God he ha^ friends, home, and a
country worth fighting for, worth dying for. [Applause ]
As long as we do fight let us fight our very best, and
when we quit figh:ing,'let us quit short off. As long as
we do maintain the contest let us send every man to the
field who would be of less 3%rvioe at home, and encour
age him; divide the last bushel of corn with his wife
and children at home, suffer, endure, hang on manfully,
and if the worst comes to the worst, if perish we must,
poor o'.d North Carolina, whose muster-rolls will be her
eulogy. v;Ill go down as she went ont, harmoniously,
wltb dignUy and decency, and evoking the admiration
of the gods at her fortitude and heroism. [Cheers ]
If we had n? other encouragemeut, the illustrations
with which history ia full weuld sustain ua with the as
surance that a dii'ermined people fighting for their lib
erties cannot be conquered. You know that in the war
of the Revolution we had greater diffieulties to encoun
ter than now benet us. It is a notable fact that we were
whipped in three-four)ha of ths battles of the Revolu
tion. The snerriy took the city of Charleston, marched
through S iCaroHna. driving Marion and Sumter into the
s'aii>ps then into N. C., driving our forces back into
the vrildcmeas of Virginia, and then returned to Wil
mington, having traversed tw> States with the air of a
conqueror How far have theyankees penetrated thsse
two States? Our currency is ia an unsettled condition
at twenty for one, but that of our Revolutionary fore
fathers was eight hundred for one. The enemy held
every seaboard city, and indeed almost every city in the
Ow armiaa were reneatedly scattered Tt>e
peotile were whipped but they would not believe it, ana
in this faith, through sevon long years of blood and
sutTering, they finally prevailed.
Uow stands the case with us. The enemy has sent
on us host after host and has not yet taken Richmond,
Charleston, Wilmington, Mobile; none of our seaboard'
cities except Norfolk, New Orleans and Galveston—and
the latter he was glad enough to leave. Instead of be
ing whipped by an invading army in three-fourths of
the batt’.es fought, as were our ancestors, we have
hipped an invading^ army in four-fifths of our engage
ments
These is a rule iu miUiery science that requires an
invading army to tfepoBit a certain proportion of its
strength in the line of march to protect its rear. Now
consider the t'aot that they have never penetrated fifty
miles into the interior of our territory, beyond the point
where their gunboats could mass troops and protect
their rear Let them try to get from Chattanooga to
Atlanta. By the time they reach there they will have
dropped enough of their strength along the line of
march to prcteo* tbeir base of supplier, and being then
in DO unreasonable disproportion to Qen. Johnston’s ar
my he will fall upon them and thresh them Lke dogs.
[Applause.] It is true we cannot pretend to cope with
them on the water, for we have not yet got a navy, but
it fortunately happens that the most of this oountry is
composed of good dry ground We have never been
much acquainted with water affairs. Indeed, I believe
most of our people prefer whiskey. [Laughter.]
The Trans-Mississippi has been separated from us.
Well, the people over there are lu?ky, for the snpply of
bad generals has been out off, and they flourish a little
better on this account than we do- After three years
war and at an expense of four thousand millio't dollars,
the enemy has overrun the greater part of Tennessee, a
portion of Mississippi snd of Alabama, but he has still
500,000 square miles to overrun on this side of the Mis
sissippi, when, if we are only as dete> mined as other
people have been in similar trials, his work will have
just begun Why, gentlemen, in the little country ef

fully, bnt h&ve failed to find those “indications of ab
ject misery.” And as fof the deserters, there has not
been, we believe, a North Car^litla K'oldier at Charleston
since Gen. Clingman’s Brigade left there two or three
months oefore the date of this lying letter.
An Army Bakb Ovbn.—One of the greatest discom
forts of the soldiers is the want of well baked bread.
A remedy for this is probably now in the power of the
government. Aa oven was some time ago capt tired from
che yankee army on the Potomac which baked bread for
t>Ot.O men. It so happened that Mr. Lapsley, Ihe New
York inventor, was in Riohmond when the captured
oven was brought ther^. He has since improved upon
it, Kod operated it on Friday and Saturday last at Ihe
Spottswdod Hotel, iu presence of the Secretary of War
and other spectators. It baked hard bread in 14 min
utes, biscuit in 10 minutes, and loaf bread in 85 minutes.
It has'5 pans, baking 32 loaves each, or about 800 per
hour. The bread is of a most excellent quality. The
machine is in the shape of a wagon, and is carried
about vrith the army on wheels as one of the wagons.
. What vast additions to the comforts of eur soldiers
can be made by these bakers, and shoe shops, and soap
mannfaotories, and such like conveniences, attached
to every brigade.
Bj the way, speaking of soap, a fHend informs us
that he obtained from tbe Observer a recipe for making
the artiele which is worth a dozen years’ subscription.
It is simply strong ley and rosin, boiled together till of
the proper consistency. Not a particle of grease is
necessary. His family was thus supplied with an exeellent
coap all last year—excellent, as his own faoltless shirt
bosom showed. If salt were not so dear, an addition
ketry heard in that direction

RicflMOMD, March 2—In the figut on Wedthi*!! Road
last evening, the yankees lost 10 or IT* killed and about
2U wounded; our loss 4 killed and 15 wuunded.
The firing beard last night proceeded from a daring
attack of Hampton’s cavalry upon tbe yankees, 3,000
strong, encamped near Attler’s, on the Central Railroad.
About 11 o’clock 400 men, chiefly of the 1st North
Carolina Cavalry, dashed into the camp, threw the enemy
into confusion, dispersed them through the woods, re
covering k quantity of spoils, took about 100 prisoners,
3 or 400 horses A number of stragglers have been
captured, including a Lieut. Colonel, and receivetiKt the
Libby.
At last aeoounts the raiders were attempting to cross
the Pamunkey at New Castle, with the view of joining
the forces en the Peninsula.
From Qeorgia—Dai.toh, Fe>*. 29.—The enemy has
retired. All quiet. The yankee Gen Porter is reported
killed in the late skirmish. Gen. Bintlman (Confed
