10 the seoond iavMion of Nortk Carolina by Lord Corn
wallis, Major James Henry Craig, e«bsequently Gov
ernor General of Canada, at the head of a soiall body
of troops, assisted I y a naval armament, under the
command ef Capt. Karclay, captured Wilmington on
ihe 29th January 17M. Lord Cornwallis eatoring the
State from South Carolina, orossed the Catawba on the
1st February at Cowan’s Ford, where Gen. Davidson
fell, in a gallant but ineffectual attempt to resist the
passage of the river. The memorable retreat ef Gen.
Greene across the State into Virginia, and his almost
tfflmediaie return to North Carolina, are /aaiiliiir events
to all readers of revolutionary history. On the 26ih
February Lord Cornwallis issued a proclamation which,
after reeiting his “driving the rebel army out of this
province,” invites “all faithtul and loyal subjects to im
pair without loss of time, with their arms and ten days’
provisions, to the royal standard now erected at Hills
boro,” and nnite with him in effectual measures to sup-
presd “the remains of rebellion” ia the province. With
Wilmington, our commercial emporium, and Hillsbo
rough, the seat of governmont, in his possession, and
no osganued body of forces to resist his onward pro
gress, h« seems to have supposed that ten, iastead of
Ur. Seward's nintty, days would suffice to crush out
“A« Ttvmwt of rebtUion " Oo the 15th Maroh he
achieved the fatal victory at Guilford Court House;
from thence he passed by Fayetteville to Wilmington,
where he arrived on the 7 th April, and on the lOtb, in
a despaich to Sir Henry Clintoa, summed up the results
of the campaign as follows: “I cannot help expressing
my wishes that, ihe Chesapeake may become the seat of
war, even (if necessary) at the expense of abandoning
Kew York. Until Yirginia is in a manner subdued, cur
hold ol the Ca'olinas must be difficult if not preoariou|^
The rivers in Virginia are advantageous to ao invading
army; but North Carolina is of all the provisoes in
America the most difficult to attack (unless material as
sistance could be got from tbo Inhabitants, the contrary
of which I have suSicienilj experienced,) cn aoocuat of
its great extent, of the numberless rivers and creeks,
and the total want of Interior navigation.” He remained
in Wilntingtoa until about the close of the month, and
on the 14th May crossed the Meherrin,^or the parpese
of forming a junction with Gen. PhlllipsSkt Petersburg.
A comparison of the course of events and the condi
tion of affwirs in North Carolina, now and then, might
afford much food for rdlection and substantial reasons
for congratulation and en.our:>gement.
Oar purpose at present, however, is simply to exhibit
record evidence of the charsictcr of the warfare waged
against us by the mother country in 1781, as coniraated
with the humanity of our sister States, 80 years thereaf
ter. To find a parallel for the latter, we must revert to the
history of the middle ages. Xeaophou, whose famous re
treat at the head of the Ten Thousand, 22 centuries ago,
has been compared to that of Qen Greene from the
Catawba to the Roanoke, by one of our own writers,
familiar with ancient and modern history, instead
of burning mills and mamifaoturies and the destrnction
of agricultural implements, secured the peaoeful tillers
of the soil, in the hostile regions through which he
passed, from lAolestation Lord Cornwallis was the
ablest of the British commanders who attempted our
subjugation, during the American Revolution The fal
lowing orders issued by Lim at the several datts pre
fixed, shew (hat he was as humane and chivalrous as
he was bra^e and able They are copied from the man
uscript Order Book of Lord Ccruwaliis, in the posses
sion of a friend of sure:
“EnAVQCAKTBBB, Castba&d's Plastatiok,
2d Feb’y 1781.
"OrcUrt.—Lord Cornwallis is highly displefcsed that
agveral houses were set on fire during the maroh this
day, a disgrace to the army, and that he will panish
with the u'.most sevmty any person or persons who
shall be found guilty of conxnitting so disgraceful an
outrage. His Lordship requests the commanding offi
oers of corps will endeavor to find oat the persons who
set fire to the houses this day.”
*‘Headquab.txss, SALiSBrnr, 5th Feb’y 1781
“It is with great oonoern that Lord Cornwallis ac
quaints the army that he has lately reci>ived the most
shocking eomplaints of the excetses vommitted by the
troops. He calls in the most .^erions manner on tbe
ofiicers commanding Brigades and Corps to put a stop
to this lioentiouBness, whioh must inevitably bring dis
grace ana ruin on His Stlujeaty’s service. He is con
vinced that it is m their power to prevent it, and ha^
seen so many prcots ol their zzal for ibe serviue of their

“Great complaints having been made of negroes
straggling from the line of march, plunderiag and using
violence to the inhabitants, it Is Lord Cornwallis’ posi
tive orders that no negro shall be suffered to carry arms
on an^ pretence, and all officers and other persona who
employ negroes are desired to acquaint them that the
Provost Marshal has received orders to seize and pun
Leh on the spot any negro following the army who may
otTend against this regulation.”
“HBAByuAKxaas, Dobbim’s Hocsb, \
17th Feb’y 1781. /
“Lord CornwaUia id very sorry to be again obliged
to call the atieniion of the Ottioers of tiKfAncy 10 the
repeated orders agaiDst plundering. He deatres that
the orders given on the 28th Jan’y, 4th Fab’y, and the
16th Feb’y, may be read at the head of each Troop and
Company cn each of the three first halting days, and
he aseureri the ofUcers, that if their duty to their King
and country, and their feelings for humanity, are not
sufficient to enforce their obedience to them, he must,
however reluctant, make use of such power as the mili
tary laws have placed in his hands.”

geants, two Corporals, and twenty-four Privates, to

“Notwithstanding every order, every entreaty, that
Lord Cornwallis has given to the army to preveiit the
shameful practice of plundering and distressing the
couftry, and those o/dera backed by every effort that
can have been made by Brigadier General O’Hara, he
is shocked to find this evil still prevails, and ashamed
to observe that the frequent complaints he receives from
Headquarters of the irregularity of the Guards, particu
larly affects the credit of this oori«i. He therefor* calls
upon the officers, noB-oommlsaioBed offioera, and thoec
men who are 7*t poaafcsseck of the fealinga of humanity
si^ and every one found absent to be Immediately
whipped and drummed out of the brigade.
“The Commandants are desired to proofed to the trial
of those men offending yesterday, and to put the sen
tence of the Coart Martial in execution immediately, in
the preRence of all the officers.
“N. B. The women to attend all piiniahments.”
Tbe following extracts from Tarleton’s Campaigni)
(p. 290) relates to the last official daty performed by
Lord Cornwallis within our borders, and is in keeping
with all that w^ know of his previous course Tarleton
was always spoken of as “the cruel” and frequently
“the Bloody Tarleton.” most unjustly, however, if the
mildest of modern Northern Generals in the depflrtments
of Virginia and Nonh ('arolina be selected as a standard
for oomparison. More properly in point of value was
destroyed by the raiders between W’ashiugton and R}cky
Mount thau by Lord Cornwallis, in his throe months’
campaign, traversing the State in two different direc
tions, and marching upwards of (k)0 miles
“On the arrival of some country people, Earl Corn
wallis directed Lieutenant Colonel Tarleton to dismount
his dragoons and mounted infaittry, and to form them
into a rank entire, for the convenient inspeoticn of the
inhabitaots, ^cd to faciliiate t^e discovery of the vil
lains who bad committed atrocious outrages the preced-
i»e evening A sergnsnt and one private dragoon were
pointed out and acoused o# rape and robbery. They
were couducted tc Halifax, where they weie condemned
to death by martial law. The immediate inflict ion of
the jentence exhibited to tbe arm^ and manifested to
the country the discipline and justice of the British
General.”
This example was rendered more imposing by the
fact, that Col. Tarleton’s legion had advanced four miles
beyond Halifax, when the miscreants were detected, and
the legion required to return. The whole army was de
layed an entire day, in order to carry oat the sentence
of the Court Martial.
Two orders of earlier date than those given above,
and one of the 16th of February, are omitted to avoid
occupying too great a space in our columns
Tbb Dahlqrkn DocrMBNTS.—From the manner in
which the yankee papers received aud published the
“Order” of Gen. Dahlgren to bum Richmond aud kill
President Davis and his Cabinet, we infer that even they
for onoe blushed for the monstrous barbarity of their sys
tem of. warfare—blushed all the more, doubtless, be
cause of the failure of the diabolical purpose The
Richmoni papers state that only one, and that a Phila
delphia paper, made any remark upon the subject. As
to the New York Herald, that paper, while it could dot
sanction the Ordd*, endeavored tw break the force of the
shocking exposure by saying:—
“It is not believed here that tha;taVcised words, and
J«ff, Davis and Cabinet killed ” were contained in
the original order, but were interpolated by the enemy
in order to intiame the passions of thdir own 83idt«rs,
who are becoming lukewarm.”
The disappointment of the yankee nation at the fail
ure of tbe raid seems to be accounted for by the dis-
V
closure of the confident expectation they entertained of
its resulting in the capture of Klchmond The follow
ing was published iu the TribQne of the 4th:—
The la'est dispatch from ivilpatrick to Gen. Pleas-
onton, dated Spottsylvania C. H., Sunday morning 11
o’clock, states that he crossed the ttapidan at Ely's
Ford at 4 o’clock A. M., Sunday, surprised the r«bel
pickt:t« aaleep, aud captured a Captain, Lieutenant and
fifteen men. The ooaoiuding words of hi* dispatch
were: “Twaaty miles nearer Hiohmond, and &li right.
Will double my bet of $5,000 that 1 enter Rictusond.”
CAHmu&Txa FOB CoMoasss —We have already noted
the nomination of Mr. Ashe in the 7th District the

will be a candidate. Two casdidates are announce'^in
to-day’s Observer—Alfred G. Foster, Esq of Davidsju,
and Col. W. P. Taylor of Chatham. Others alsu ure
spoken of ae candii-ates.
Hen. Tnos. S. Ashb.—The Richmond Wnig bears
the following testimony to the deservedly high sund
oecupted by Mr. Ashe in the late Cougress:—
-There being now a vacancy to be filled, we trust
that we will not be accused of unwarrantaOie interler
ence in tbe affairs of our sister Staie, when we express
the hope that Mr. Ashe may be seiurned. No member
of the late Congress enjoyed a more enviable character,
or was held m nigher esteem thaa CoL Asne. His fine
attainments prompted hia appointment ou one of tne
moat importaut committeea of the - House, and his dili
gent attenuon to the practical busiubsa of legislation
gave him an influence which was highly Honorable to
me Old NorUi titate.”

ment appeara in thia papet, has preaented to us beauti-
fal photographs of Gea. Lee, Gen. (Stonevall) Jackaon,
Gen Mcrgan, and G^n Longstreet. They are pro
nounced admirable likenesses. The great and good Lee
is vastly changed from what hia appearauoo was three
years i*gd, for now his hair and full beard are white.
Many of our Generals are said to have undergone the

The Recognition Rumor* —The London Morning Post
of the 29th alt. in ua city article continues to assert tlie
lotantion of France to shortly reoognixe the Confederate
States. It says: “The private advices from Paris, up
on which we belinve ralianoe caa be placed, agaia al
lude to the negotiatioBs now in progresa preparatory to
a reeogaition of the Confederate Stataa of America bj
the French Government, although aay official acknow
ledgment of thia fact would at thia moment be tbought
premature and undeairable.”
A Double Campaign —The 14th New Hamahire regi
ment, which was under orders tor the Gulf, it appears
has received a later order to “report” in New Hampshire
for the purpose of voting the Abolition State ticket.

“Thi Voice or tbb Pbbss.”—Under this head the
Raleigii Confederate saya that that voice, “both in this
State and in others of the Confeaeracj, apeaka but one
sectimeBt as to Mr. Holden’a oandidaoy; and that ia ad
verse, to hia preteosions. Every where he is looked
upon with disiruat and repugnance.”
Even ihe “Conservative” Atlanta Register, which has
been claimed as belonging to the Standard’s peaoe party,
turns a very oold shoulder to Mr. Hoiden, in auoh lan
guage as the following:
“Holden, the editor of the North Carolina Standard,
who ia but justly, aa we think, denounced aa a danger
ous malcontent, if not absolutely untrue to the cause of
the Confederaoy, baa issued another sheet of his paper,
(the publication of which waa recently suspended ) in
which he announced himself aa a candidate for Governor
of North Carolina, itt the ensuing August election.
* * ♦ There la a teat of loyalty which uur obaerva-
tion ia this revolution haa led us to believe almoat ^n
fallible, it ia not the seniimenta a man professes, but
thoeo he onmte to profess, which ottcnest denote him
truly In tbe card of Holden, announcing himaeif,
there is not one word of sympathy for the cause of
ultimate triumph of our arms, not one word of en
couragement for the brave men who have drawn the
sword, and thrown away the scabbard in defence of our
rights * * * I’^e db not believe a man who had a
spark of patriotism or sympathy for the t’onfederate
cause in hia composition, owuld fratae a card for a^imi-
lar purpose, even as brief aa Holden's, without giving
some expression of it.”
This Atlanta Register is the originator and organ of
what the Holden party in this State call the Georgia
Peace party, hoping to croate an impreasion that they
have colaborers in Georgia. The Register very em
phatically coatradiota this notion in closing the article
from whioh we have quoted above, as follows:
‘■Such of our coteoiporariea persist in aacribiog te

A DisTmoTiOR wiraocT a Dir^BBBHOB.—A Minister
of the Methodist Church writes us that by the tax law
of last year he ia required to pay $160 tax on hia in
eofoe of $3000 aa a Minister, whilat a Preabyterian
Miniater in the aame place paya but $80 tax on hia tal
ary ef $3000. The oonatroction of the law which pro
duces this aingaiar result ariaea, he aaya, from tne fact
that, whilst the Presbyterian Church obligates itself to
PV the Pastor $8000, and he could coliecfc that saUry
by lair, the Methodist Minister has no persoB bound to
lum. It ia a mere reoommeBdatioa by the Church that
the Minister be paid $1006 Quarterage for clothing
and $2000 for table expenses. Bat at the close of the
year each haa received his $3000. The one is oh lied
salary, the other income. The tax ob aalarica ia 1 per
ceBt., $80; ob iBoomes 6 per oeat, $150.
Our correapondent asks if we think this right? Cer
tainly we do not. Congresp could have had no inten
