spite of them They will against it, plot
against it, Und abandon the field of blood only
when forced by inexorable neoessity. As long
as it is possible for the war to last, the party in

self-defence, as well as of ayarioo and" revenge*.
The day of peaca ends the theatre of their malioe

thi* t^ountry—ruin; what the day ot judgment is
to the sinner—a final «»ettlement of the ^hole

Terrible Calamify at —At a little
before midnight or Friday last, one of those terri
ble disasters to.which nearly all tho groat towns
in the North ot Bn^land are more or los.s ex
posed, happened at Sheffield. The great reser-
voir of the Sheffield Water Company—a reservoir
nearly one ^ndred acres in extent, -and which
Held more t»u a^ million cubic feet of water,
suddenly burst it^ embankment and swept ^dth
the fury of anotb^'f Ddag0 d^wn nairaw
gorge formed by the Loxley and Stannigton Hills
into Sheffield itself. Almost before warning
could be given, the voloaie of waters began rush
ing headlong down the valley, sweeping farms
and houses, forges acd factories, like chaff before
it. Never, probably, has an incident of the same
kind occurred so ruinous in its wholesale de
struction of property, so lamentably fatal in the
loss of human life. Whatever the sudden and
tremendous flood could reach it seema to have de
stroyed, and, calculating only by the number of
houses swept away, and the number of persons
missing who were known to have been in them
on the fatal night, there is every reason to fear
that the lives -sacrificed by this awful calamity
will not bo loss than 250, if they do rot, unfor
tunately, exceed even that nutuber. Of the
damage done to property it is impor^blo at this
early date to form erea a conjccfur •. Tho de
vastation in this respect is unparalleled. A lar^c'
populou.s and thriving district has been almost
obhtoratod from the earth, ecarcp more than
traces ot tbc hou.-es and factories that once stood
[.thero are ».ow remaining. Tne Don, owing to
late heavy rams, was unusually high.and the ad
dfiional water throv. :i into it has Jaifl hundreds
of acrcH under water nnd inflictcd incalculable

Mcasrs. Editors: I see that all of fhe Candi-
dated for Congress in this Congressional district
have withdrawn except J. M. Leach, A. G
Foster and Mr. Ramsay. The impresaion hero
is that Mr. Foster is much tho stronger of the
two Candidates who advocate the re-election of
Gov. Vanoe. Iflho vote is divided between Mr.
Foster and Mr. Ramsay, the eleotion of either is
doubtful. It is earnestly'hoped that theso gen
tlemen can reconoilc thoir confficting claims,
and as Mr. roster is much the stronger, It is to
be hoped that Capt. Ramsay will withdraw,—so
^ of the District can give a lair ex

Messrs Editors: 1 have ijeen stHtementrgorng'
the rounds of the papers from time to time of va
rious persons who have distinguished thenibelves
for liberality to the families of soldiers, rtrmit
me through your column^ to add another name
to this of Honor:' Col. J. J. X). Lucas
of Bladen county, has sold corn and bacon (the
production of his own farm) to soldiers’ families
at QotVorc than 05 per bushel for corn aud
15 ot« per lb. for bacon, besides hauling i^ratii-
itously for such a.s had pot the moans to do so
themselves, ife also fiiruished supplies to sol
diers’ families in his district several months
without any compensation whatever, besides haul
ing and delivering County corn, which he has in
variably done at his own expense, and a variety
of other minor services too voluminous to embody
in a communication like thi# It in worthy of re
mark, that while the avaricious and unprincipled
have realized forti^es ny speculating on the neces
sities of the poor and needy, that Col. Lucas is to
day a poorer man than h« was at the commence
ment of the war, and it is by no means surprising,
for no soldier’s wi/e or widow ijQ distress has ever
been known to appeal to his generous sympathy
in ai»«. It is really refresliing at this day of
sordid avanoe and speculation to witnass examples
like this. Such conduct is worthy not only of
the highest commendation but deserves to bo re
well, illustrates better, aud earriosthe syuipathies
of the crowd with him all tlie white. TI.0 inte
rest in nis N|«eecii uc*rt Ha^n, BuU he leaves the
crowd spell bound with wonder at hiH ^reat gifts,
and tickled to d>iath at the budget ot fun he opens
aud pours out into their delighted ears
At 12 M , although it was raining, the Brig
ade was formed, aud the Governor entered the
ring among the cheers and yells ol applause that
greeted bis entrance. He commenoed with a
joke, went on with a joke, joked a little while
longer, and then told another joke; got his audi
ence in an excellent humor with theioeelves,
with their Governor, with the ladies, and with
everybody else, when iTe commenced to discuss
the condition ot the country and spoke of the
politics in North Carolina. He took the same
gri-.und againJt the Convention that he took in
his i^ech at Wilkesborough, only he illustrated
with his inimtable wit much more freely than*
on that occasion; and after finishing up that sub
ject, he appealed to the soldiers to stand by their
colors through thick and thin, which, together
with the whole speech,*had a very (!xocllcnt ef
fect on his audience.
To describe the speech is impossible. I at
tempted to take notes; but before I could arrange
to do so, 1 was so full of daughter and so much
fascinated that I was unable to proceed further.
This much, however,'! know that ho made more
friends by that one speech than Holden has made
in twelve months through his paper.
The Governor informed me that he intends to
visit Fayetteville as .soon as he returns to Raleigh^
and can rccover from his fatigue and exposure

April 4, 1864, J
Messrs. Editors: Nolhiug has occurred since
my last letter to break the dull monotony of‘camp
life, with the exception of a grand mimic battle
between our Reg’t and the 5lst N. C with snow
Isftlls, and a Vance meeting, which was held in
our tast week Soice very able iipecofaes
KTcrc deliver'd, in all of which Holden was de-
uounctd as unfit to occupy any position within
the gitt of the people.
A word to those who are shunning duty, or in
other words remaining at homo whcu their ser
vice is needed and expcctod in the field: to such
we say come and be our brothers in arms, and
help us to achieve that liberty for which so much
blood has been spilt. Your country needs your
service in tho coming campaign; a thousand or
even a hundred men may turn the tide of battle

l4fA A Troftyt,—Extract of a letter from a
m»‘mber of the Fourteenth N C. regiment: “The
, /egiment wa* called together to day, for the pur-
po«' of choosin^between Vance and Holden, for
our next Governor. After a few speeches, the
vote was taken and V'ance was unanimously
choaen—with shouts of up wuh Vance and down
with the traitor. We are right side up with cjre
in the army, and hope Vanoe will bs the unan
imous choice of the people.”—Ral. Confederate
A Aovel tomma»t/er.—Mrs. L- who re
sides some twelve miles below Murfreesboro,
Tenneaseei on the Nashville road, is, or was in
the autumn of ’t>2, the owner of a gray parrot, of
remarkable loquacity, Ue oould speak many
words distinctly, and besides his other and vari
ed accomplishments, was a pretty goad drill-mas
ter, having been inculcated in the mysteries of
military tactics by the little son ot the lady above
mentioned. The cage in which this ^‘Theban”
lived was hung among some shrubbery that lined
the iron railing enclosing the front of the prem
ises.
One night, a few weeks before the battle of
Murir«n4l^ro’, Mrs. L received a nocturnal
visit from her*two' gallant sons, who had been
stationed for some time with their commands,
ai^.frAOMhora’ The nipkets ot the S«uth-
ern army were stationed at tflat time four miles
east of her residence, and those of the enemy two
miles west, so the young men in question, to
make good their visit to their mother, had to run
the blockade after night.
The enemy,* however, by some means bfcoame
apprised of their visit, an(^ about a couple of
hours after their arrival, galloped up, some twen
ty in number, and began forming around the
house The inmates of the house were greatly
alarmed and gave up all as lost, and the you«^
men awaited only the smnmons to surreader, feel-
ing'it would bo madness to resist such odd®.
The watchful parrot had likewise been aroused
by the commotion, and, peering out from Jiis
covert, and seeing the enemy with his guns, he
cried out in a strong, vigorous metallic, officer
like voice: “Companyl Make r-e-a-d-y! A-i ml”
but before he coild give the command to fire,
the enemy thinking the bushes lined with rebels,
and that an ambush had been laid for their de
struction, fled in the greatest consternation.
The young men who had been astonished, yet
delighted lookers-on at the scene being enacted in
t^ yard, now gladly and happily made their es-
o^e, and arrived 40 minutes thereafter safely
within our lines.—Punch.
of this brutal act we have not heard. I'robably,
however, oould not eupprepH the expression
of her “treason” in tlie preaenoe ot these shame
less scoundrel.* One, nentleinan at Enterprise
sought protection for his property from one of
the officeis—a colonel, we believe His reply
waij that they had come to dcbtroy, nut to save.
They brought with them ioflanmiablti material in
gutta percha bags. This was thrown over what
they desired to burn, and the flauies immediately
raged—Mob/fe Tribune
