Mr. AMO.va thr Y a,\krrs.—The following remarkable article is written by an officer recently returned from a long and dreary imprisonment at Johnson's Inland and other yankee pens. The wri ter is no politician. Ilis pursuits before the war had as little connection with politics as with arms— none whatever with either. Uis high personal cha racter is a guarantee fgr the truthfulness of his state ments. He stales facts as to the usa of Mr. Holden's name, and of the articles in the Standard, the sub stance of which has been known to tis, and to Mr. Uvldrn himni’lf, for many months past. Mr. Holden was informed, months ago, both in the yankee news- P'vi. rs and verbally by citieens of the Confederacy, lhat hiS articles and those of his friends published with his approbation in the Standafd. were reprinted M the North, iu handbills and otherwise, by the mil lion, and scattered broadcast over the yankee States, as evidence that North Carolina was desirous of re turning to the hated and despised Union, thus en couraging a persistenc3 in the war upon, the Cod- fbderacy, and discouraging the friends of peace at the North. Ho has further known that those arti- olet of his and his friends have been used by the jaukees in the Eastern part of our own State afi ground for a call upon Lincoln to send reinforce ments to enable them to penetrate to the heart of the Siate for the purpose of developing the Union leatimont which Mr. Holden had thus persuaded them existed in the iaterior. All these things, knswn tu Mr. Holden for months past, have had no effect upuu him, except apparently to make him s* much more mditferent to our buccess that he has Ignored the many triumpht* of our arms this Spring, not only Qot rejoicing with the readers of his Standard at our TlL'turies, but actually concealing from thsm all kiiowiedge of those victories; ana lately, while Gen. Lite, tae >oul of honor and of truth, was telegraph- sc ilichmoud his thanks to God for the tuccessos of our gallant troops over the hordes of Lincoln, Mr. Holden gravely assures the readers of the titau- dtird tiiat because Gen. Lee writes that Grant “is entrenched” near Spottsylvania C. H., that, there fore, "Gen. Lee i«> retiring towards Richmond and" Orint IS following him!” Aud this sad state of lluiigs—sad if it had been true—calls forth not one syllable of regret from the istandard!

Very respectfully, JNO. A. STANLY. P. S.—It may not be amiss for me to state that Beuu- fort connty, thongb within the enemy’s lines for over two years, has sent the field thirteen full comjiaaies by voluntary enlistment, out of a voting population of about 400, and that many of the greatest sufferers by these fires are the afed fathers, mothers, wives, children and sisters of these soldiers. Thr ORrHAK Esdowme,*»t Fc!»d.—The fund col lected by the Rev. Dr. Deems for the education, clothing and feeding of children of deceased soldiers already amonnts to upwards of $200,00*'*, and is con stantly increasing. It is invested in real estate and bonds. The interest only is to be expended. Each donor of $50 or upwards is a Trustee and has one vote for every $50 contributed. Dr. Deems calls for additional contributions. He says: “Let every man who has stayed at home consider what bis duty is towards the children of those who have died in defence of our families and property, and who have left nothing for their children, and juBt what we think tho.se men should do for us if our ca.ses were reversed, let us do for them. Let the wise and good and charitable send me their contributions by safe hands, or by express, and they shall be properly acknowledged. Send money or bonds or yonr own personal oblijrations, made payable any date you choose, with interest from 1st January 1864. The annual interest is all that is needed. Certificates of bonds can be transferred. Make them payable to Jno. G. Williams, Treasurer of the N. C. Orphan Endowment Fund. Let them be sent to me. My address is Raleigh, N. C.” This enterprise is declared by a distinguished citi- sen of South Carolina to be the noblest undertaking since the war began. And right nobly have the people of North Carolina contributed to it. “CossiBVATivis” AND ‘•DBSTKCCTtvRs."—Wo have always eschewed these terms, with reason, as the present state of things proves. Mr. Holden and his friends claim XhaXthep form the “Conservative party,” and call Gov. Vance and his friends “Destmctiveg.” The present Legislature waa claimed by the Stand ard, if we recollect aright, to be Conservative by fully a majority of two-thirds. Mr. Holden was elect ed its Printer by a vote of 77 to 53, (and we believe that a number of the 53 voted for his competitor be cause the printing office which he managed belonged What can the country infer from all these facts, | to the State, at the Deaf and Dumb Asylum.)

Daily Salisbuky WATcnstAN.—We have receiv ed the 1st No. of a small Daily published by Mr Bruner for the dissemination mainly of the tele graphic dispatches.

The Baltimore Clippe Lincoln organ, says their loss is 40,000. Gen. Gran telegraphs to Stanton at the close of Thursday’s (the 12th) fight that he had that day captured 3 to 4000 prisoners, 2 Gen’ls, and .30 pieces of artillery. (Gen Johnson’s division, beaten early in the morning—his first and only success that day.) He addathat “the Cannot Col.

[The News ia Democratic and docs not claim victory as do the Tribune, Ac.] We copy such items a« are of interest: “The Tribune of yesterday estimates our loss thus far at 40,000! What has since occurred, it is a hope- htl calculation, makes it 70,000! We claim a great er loss for the enemy: but call it e^uai, and there are 140,000 victims immolated within seven days of indecisive battle.” “The streets were thronged, the kerchiefs waved, the shout of admiration was heard when the Ninth Reariment of our city’s best and bravest tramped gayly, boldly lown Broadway, to fight the Abolition battle. In those full ranka wore tho youth, the man hood, and the pride of New York. Where are they now? Of the Xinth Rejiment remain four off.cem and Aftenk, ‘•The day will come when the authors of this war will realize their responsibility. Th« Abolitionist will be startled from his fanaticism by the cry of the millions wlio now mourn silently, but who will me day swell,the inevitable chorus of broken hei.rts, ap pealing to God for vengeance upou those that wrought their sorrow.” “When Grant moved from Culpeper Courthouse, in his recent march to Richmond, he had a large corj>n de rexvrve, 30.000 strong, commanded by Burnside. Where is it now? For now is the time to use it. It is a reserved corps no longer. He was compelled to bring it into action on the 6th, the very second day of the fight, and it took a promi nent part in th« action both of that day and the 9th.” “liieut. Gen. Grant's peculiar tactics will insdre the f^rcntepit possible eacrlflcc of life, lie evident ly ndies leos upon strategic eombinations than hard fightmg. The series of battles fought during the past week were among the most sanguinary of the war. The mortality in musketry battles is far greater than when artillery is used. In a conflict of this character, the usual estimated loss is 1 per cent killed, to 3^ or 4 per cent wounded. It will be remembered that the groat battles of Thurs day and Friday in the Wilderness, were fought at musketry range, and but littl# artillery ased. The number of Federals wounded in these engagements, is said to have been Ifi.OOO. The loss iii killed, therefore, would reach nearly 4,000. The conflicts that followed seem to be no less bloody. The very heavy los^ of general officers indicates desperate fighting.” ••The Administration papers admit 40,000 lost to Grant already. The accounts from Hanks are that 11,000 r'rmain out 60,000; 'Ihe battleit vf ^'her- man consumed 20.000, the \urth Carolina disas ters 5.000 mnr«. We have here 115,000 men with all their material hors dii combat. “The advices from Euroj>e in relation to the posi tion of foreign Governments is also of a gloomy na ture, and when the record of the last thirty days goes out there may be disastrous results to the remains of American credit.” Washington correspondence of the N. Y. Newii, “WAsninoTo.N, May 11.—For fo«r days we have had no end of the exciting rumors and exagsrcrated reports in relation to the great battles in Virginia. To-day th« truth begins to be known, and I am now able to send you a tolerably connected and clear statement of what has really been accomplished by our armies, and of what n-mains to be done. It is well for the readers of the News that they have not been deluded either by the official bull«tins of the Secretary of War, or with accounts of suppoaed vic tories, auch as have appeared in some of the other papers. The simple truth is, that we have as yet gained no victory. We are as far from the objective point of the campaign—the capture of Ricboiond— as we were a week ago. We have anffered a terri ble loss in killed and wounded, and we have done little more than to demonstrate the immense ad vantage which Gen. Lee enjoys in his various de fensive positions between the Rapidan and the Pamunkey.” The Washington Chronicle, of the 10th, estimates the reduction of General Grunt’s force by c.»8ualue8 and otherwise, at thirty-five thousand men. The correspondent of the New York Herald writing from the battle field, Monday, eums up Grant’s total losses to that date in killed, wounded and missing at 27,000. This estimate does not in clude the stragglers and sick. lie states that the supplies of the army of the Potomac were nearly exhausted, and adds, that if the rebels give Grant as much trouble on the rest of his route as they have done Ihis far, his chances for success are slim indeed Among the accounts in the Northern papers is a lettt-r to the N. Y. Tribune, which says that in the battle of Tuesday the 10th the '’whole force of both armies was pitted for three hours in a hand to hand struggle without a parallel in history; the inoft do? perate of all battles.” It admits that the rebel gained “the decided a«lvance,‘' (advantugo probably was written;) that the yankee losses were “mnch greater than in any of the battles of the previous week;” that their “entire loss thus far [the lOthj in killed, wounded and missing, must reach near40,O(»0.” Other letters in the Tribune describe the complete rout of the ®th Corps, Sedgewick's, “rushing disorderly mas.«es|out of tho woods, some weapi.nless some hatless, all heartless, panic-stricken and pale; some with extended neck and arms, with drooping heads aud hands, and some indignantly and angrily shouting to their companion.^, charging them with cowardice and dishonor.” It W'»s the most wicked assault thus far encoun tered—brief in duration, but terrific in power and superhuman momentum.” fcATlST MAIfc AND TKLIORAPHIC SKW8. 0A8XIALTIB8 Df W.

Wc learned yesterday, that it was brought about by an effort of the Confederates to throw up an advance line of fortifications, which the Yankees regarded as coming too close for comfort. Yesterday morning early slight firing commenced. «nd continued with increasin^ severity, until ten o’clock, wl;cn a charge was made by our forces upou the enemy’s breastworks, and the engagement be came general alonjf the line. Martin’s and Cling- man’a North Carolina, and Wise’s Va.

The Herald admits a loss xtent. The enemy were well posted, and besides occupying an advantageous position behind their breastworks, had one or more regiments posted !i a thicket o> pines, which poured a very severe en filading tire into our charginjc column. The charge was highly successful, despite the advantages of the enemy, and again illustrated the valor of Confederate arms. Our c(dumn was under the immediate command of (Jen. I). II. Hill, but Gen. Beauregard was on the field.

At the breastworks, the fighting is said to have been furious, our men bayoneting and beating such of the enemy as had the temerity to remain, with the butts of their mus kets. An attempt was made to rally the fleeing foe after we had driven him out. which was successful. The enemy mas.sed all his forces and made two des perate eSorts to re-take the works but were each time most blootlily repulsed, and sent off howlinp to their ne.vt I'ne of entrenchments. We captured many small arms, and secured .3 pieces of cannon. We now have the invalers under the lead of Bnt- tlf>r, in ft very contracted neck of land, ur»t more than 5 or 6 miles either way. and are gradually and surely closing on him. It is estimated that we drove him two miles yesterday. Our casualties yesterday are estimated at between 5 and COO, of which number, probably 100 were killed. Many severely, but the greater portion are slightly wounded, and chiefly in the hand. RrcHMo.'.D, May 21.—A telegram from Gen. Beau- rejjard, dated Healquarters, this morninp, says: “■All qniet last night. We remain in possession of the enemy’s rifle pits, and the ground gamed in yes terday’s fight, which was quite severe during a part of the day especially neaf the Ware Bottom church. 1 regret to say that Gen. W. S. Walker is mi.-^sing. and it is f*ared that he fell into the hands of the enemy while gallantly leading his troops into action.” Ru'hmo.vd, May 22.—Last night the Yankees made an assault on our right, towards Petersburg, to take the po.sition and battery lost bv them on Friday. They were easily repulsed with neavy loss. Our ca-jualties very few. Prtkrsburo, May 21.—The enemy is bnsy to-day entrenching 800 yards distant from the entrench ments wrested from them yesterday, under fire from our sharpshooters and field pieces above. Thirty of the enemy’s pickets were.brought in this evening. [A private dispatch of yesterday's date mentions as probable a renewal of the fight yesterday or to-day ] From Sortherrc. Virginia.—Spottstlvahu, C. H., May 19.—In yesterday’s fight [see Gen. Lee’s dis patch in preceding pagej we captured about 60 pri- lioners and tho enemy lett over 200 dead on the field. Last night the enemy retired from our left, leaving their dead unburiad. Our men to-day are busy collecting arms on that part of the field abandoned by the enemy. Many arms are being obtained which were buried by the eneni; yeatevday evening. Meade, on the 13th inst., issued a congratulatory order to his troops. He claims that Lee has now abandoned his last entrenched position, bo tenacious ly held, suffering a loss of 18 guns, 24 colors and 60(X> prisoners. Meade further says, that the fight is not over and that he (Meade) expects reinforce ments, wllich Lee cannot possibly get. Akmy or Nokturr.v Va., May 20.—Up to 3 o’clock yesterday nothing of interest occurred. About that time Gen. Ewell moved forward in force on an armed reconnoissance towards the enemy’s right flunk. About 5 o’clock our skirmishers en gaged those of the enemy a little west and north of the road leading from Spottsylvania C. II. to Fred ericksburg. The enemy soon brought up a heavy force, consisting of Hancock’s 2d and a large part >>t Burnside’s ^»th corps, and heavy artillery troops irom the defences at Washington who served as in fantry. A considerable fight ensued and at one lime our line of skirmishers had possession of the enemy’s wagon train, but was compelled to relinquish 11—not. however, until we had sent and brought off ^ome. The fight lasted until 2 o’clo-k at night, *heu Ewell fell hack to his original position, having lost in the engagement about l.'iO wounded, about ;50 killed and a few missing. Prisoners report the enemyloss much heavier. We captured about L()(t prisou''rs.’ Not a g’-.n fired to-day. It is supposed Grant is awaitmg reinlorcemcnts from the West in order to enew the attack. Hanover Ji.vction, May 22.—Grant commenced brinetiii^his column around on our right on Friday moriiing. His forces occupied Milford Station and Anerewp, A L w o ■; .J Hig(r».
