Hioh Oomplihkxt to Gov. Varcb.— Under
dl the ciri-umstAUcea of these tronbloDs timpB,
It ia a most remarkable and gratifying compliment
that the I^egislatun: ba« paid to Gov. Vance. Hotb
Houses pas.'ied almost nnanimonsly (only 2 dissent
ing votes in the Senate and 3 iu the Common.-^) reso
lutions de 'laring that tJov. Vance is entitled to the
confidence and thanks of the General Assembly, to
' its rrost hearty approval and cordial pympathj. See
the resolutions in full in our Legislative summary.
This vote is the more remarkable from the fact
vhal Mr. Holden's leaser organ, the Progress, took
the liberty of lecturing the Conservatives on the
sabject, bidding them to “beware of this trap,” on
pain of being merged in the ‘‘Destmctive party”
and “consigned to certain and overwhelming deft^it"
tn Augnst. No stronger evidence could be furnish-
•d of the feeblcnehs of Mr. W. W. Holden. The
members of the Legislature are fresh from the peo
ple, M.ituy of them are candidates for re-election.
l»0 that iu addition to the nttiural aud laudable de
sire to reti«ci the will ot tkeu- coustituenta, they have
th« fear uf defeut ii tiiey should disregard that
will. What is the inlereuce* Why necessarily
that the people ar« for Governor Vance, that the
members of the Legislature know it, and not only
sixpress their own feelings but lay an anchor to wind
ward by expressmg the people’s feelings in this most
unportant subject of Gov. Vance’s fitness tor the
Lxacuuve chair, as evidenced by “the able, faithful
aiid successful manner,” the • firmness aud fidelity,”
v>f his past administration.
We iearn privately that there are three more
Uoldenites in the l^gisiature, but one uf them, Al
ford of Wake, wat^ abseut, and the other two. Green
sU'dtanly and Hitter of Moore, did not vote.
In the tace of such voles as these, and of the t^v-
eral unammuua declarations of Cirand Juries, Mr.
Holden and the i’rogress persist in saying that he
will be elected by an overwhelming majority—that
the people aud the soldiers are for him, Jtc., &c.
Well, the day of election will show. In the mean*
time, the more Mr. Holden boosts the more ture
shall we be that he knows ius chance is bad, aud
that he wants to be •compromised” with and a.->ked
to “withdraw.”
JoHJ»sTo.'« CovxTv.—The Holden camp haej been
thrown into great confusion by the authorized »n-
avuncement ol Messrs. aauders, Woodall and Avera
a^ trne Conservauve Vance candidates lor re-elec
tion to the Legislature. Messrs. Woodall and Ave-
ra had been previously anaounced as Holden candi
dates. The Confederate thiuks the change is owing
to a charge made tiy Gov. V'auce, in his speech at
Smithfieid, ••that Mr. Holden’i* object lu proposing
a dtate Convention, that "North Carolina might
take her afiisini into her own handi,” was to eilect
the secession of this Htate from the Confederacy,
and to make terms with the enemy.’’
Quite a sufficient reason for cutting loose from
Ur. Holden.
Thk Bi'r.mng 01’ Washi.voton, N. C.—Some of
the yankees appear to be ashamed of the act of van
dalism which marked their evacuation of the town
of Washmgton. One of their papers has an account
of it which attributes the act to “straggling marines
and soldiers.” But there is rea.son to suppose that
it was connived at, if not ordered, by those in au
thority. It will be remembered that in the letter
which we published from a lady of that place it was
stated that the villains “bad destroyed all the pumpe, ’
obligiDg the ladies to bring water from the river to
try and arrest tiie fire. W'hy destroy the pumps?
Kvidently to facilitate the progresp of the Uames
which they were about to start.
This yankee account says that the place was
"moetly owned by Union people,” (meaning, no
doubt, the Yivnkees who have, settled there during
the two yeare’ occupation, and who have either
bonght property or had it assigned to them by the
military, and who had brought large stocks of goods
there from the Nortli.) And it adds,—
' Four thoni*and Unif>n troops Fuddcnly evacnateJ this
Gibraltar of America in the face of Bcvon «>Tn|>anics of
# reln-ls, leaving the entire Union popuial.ion of the town
to the tender oierries of the «nemy, aft«tr burning their
hoUHeH over their head.4 and leaving them without a
mouthful of f(Kxl, or so much as a bed to pillow the heads
of the sick and dying. The frantic shrieks of the help
1ms women and children, and the pitiful appeals of their
brothers and fathers for protection from rebel bayonets,
»8 the Unitetl i^tates ("timers left the docks, leaving
ibera to their fate, are described by those who witnessed
them, as being the most afl’ecting and melancholy sight
ever witnes9el. The act in universally denouno*>d.”
We could almost wish that these “fathers and
brothers” had been treated to a tonch of the rebel
bayonets.
Oahcaltiot.—We regret to see that Capt. Shtlbal
W. Worth, of Randolph county. Acting Adjutant of
the 2d Cavalry, was killed in the recent cavalry fight
near Petersburg. Also, to hear of the death, on the
19th, of wounds received on the 12 th, of W D. McPher
son of this county, Co. C, 14th N. 0. Troops—a gal
lant soldier and a good man.
Among the killed at sjpottsylvania C. H., on the
12th, was Lieut. John H. Tolar, Co. H, Orr’s S. C
Kitie Reg t; a son of Mr. Robert Tolar of Bladen.
We huve been gratified to learn that Lieut. Wm
f. Andersou is neither missing nor wounded, and
that the wounds of Capt. Kyle and Lieut. Hnske
kept them from their coui^taiiy but a few daye.
Thk BATTLEii tn V’jroi.via.—The only connected
:iarrativf.8 of the battles in Northern Virginia that
we have s«en are those of “P. W. A^” the anny
•orreipondent of the Richmond Dispatcli. They ar#

hhM«ir to the iMople—ape*ks to them face to face,
• man to men. Mr. Holden writes to them through
the Standard. Got. V ano« speaks of the country and
its great trials aad of the duty o( all patriots to do
their part to bring it safely through those trials.
Mr. Holden writes of “W. W. Holden,” of his desire
to be Oovenuir of North Carolina and of the dnty of
“Conseryatiyes’' to bring him safely through at the
polls tu Aogu«t. Gov. NTuuce is a patriot. .Mr.
Holden is a Huldeoits. Uov. Vance’s speeches are
almost entirely devoted to the country and its cause
our gallant Soldiers and thdr glorious dred« aud
Willing itiffertng^. Mr. Holden’s Standard is de
voted to oon« of thes^ things—they hardly claim a
posing notic»-.but. to the t-ause of VV. W. Holden.
J hat is his finrt und his last—hi.H alphn and om**ga.
'rherw is mhch in Mr. Holdea’s address that would
call for that potent weapoio, ridicule, if've cou!l feel
in the humor t«* employ, or could suppose that our
reatiers would enjoy,,«t this time of the rountrv’s
peril, the fit exposure of Mr. Holden's huijibui'gerv.
Such, for instance, as that Mr. Holden professes to
be ‘‘opposed to caucuses and convttntions." He
who has for many year'i used caucuses aud conven
tions to farther all hi.s pf'r.;onal and political schemes
aud has probably been a member of more of them
th.Hn any other man iu the rtt«te, who is said to have;
been a regular attendant of caacu.'^en eveti at the
last session of the present Legislature, now sees
that caucuses and convention.^ can no longer be
used by him—that they are against him. Therefore
he is against them. The grapes are sour. Ne.vt he
intimates that some person or }>erson3—unnamed—
have approached him on the part of Gov. Vance to
“compromise” with him. or to intlnco Kim to
draw.” All this is a transparent humbug. No man
possessing himself a particle of honesty or sent?**
Would ever snsjwt Gov. Vance of such a silly :ind
disreputable proceeding, liut to clinch the nail on
this point. Gov. V^ance has authorized the Raleigh
Conservative to say, that ••there is not a panicle ol
truth in the allegation, so far as he is concerned--
that he has made no proposition of the kind and ha.
authorized no person to make one.” After this e.x-
plioit denial, Mr. Holden owes it to himself to say
who approached him with such propositions? Let
us have the names, that we iiay see if they were
Governor Vance’s friends, or Mr. Holden’s friends,
or indeed anybody’s friends. If anything of the
sort ever occurrei, it was doubtless au effort
of Mr. Holden's friends to get Mr. Holuen out
of a scrape, to save him from a final, overwhelm
ing. exterminating defeat by the people in Au
gust next. But many persons, who have ot>serv-
ed Mr. Holden’s tactics, believe that this talk of
propositions-to compromise or withdraw, is only a
hint thrown out by Mr. Holden m hope that some
body will actually do what he only insinuates has
been done.
Mr, Holden perpetrates a very gross wrong upon
Gov. Vance iu the following statement:—
“At his [Gov. Vai:e=’s1 special i>ersonal lei^ucst I
stated In the Standard, at the time, that he wl^ o[ipo3eil
tci these mc«;tings and Vj negotiations for j>eace.”
W© call upon Mr. Holden to say when he stated
anything of that kind in the Standard? We deny
that he ever did anything of the sort. The nearest
approach to it that we ever saw was the following
from the Standard of July 2d, 1(56^:—
“Su far aii (tov. Vanue is concerned, il is proj»»r tliat
we should stale that he is not re8{n>nsible for the courtie
of the Standard. The btandard is an independent Cun-
sorvative paper, and is not tlie organ of either Tn si-
dents, Governors, or (fenerals. It is due to iov. Vance
hiuiself, as well as to the Standard, that we shouUi stnif
that he does not agree with us in our views on tl»e t-ub
jecl of iHjaee. He is as anxious as we are to see au
honorable peace established at as early a dav as jK».'»si-
ble; but he regards i>eace movements among our.selves.
witli n«i overturna nf the kind from t}i“ Korth na jjn--
mature and Lnjndiciou». That he is hone.st and jiutri
otic in these views we have no doubt. Our views are
well knuwn to our rxaderB."
Now we ask Mr. Holdeu if tkm wa.-^ not what he
stated in the Standard at the special personal reiuebt
of the Governor? We affirm that it was. Aud now-
let the reader mark how grossly, shamefully, Mr.
Holden, over his own name, has misrepresented the
Governor. Is there anything in the Standard’s para
graph asserting that the Governor was "opposed to
negotiations for peace”? Nothing at all like it.
Mr. Holden knows there was nothing like it. He
knows that Gov. Vance never was opposed to ne
gotiations for peace, indeed that there is not a soli
tary human being in North Carolina or in the Con
federacy that is opposed to negotiations for peace.
And yet Mr. Holden, with that Standard before him,
and with a perfect knowledge ot the discrepancy be
tween it and his present statement, affirms that iov.
Vance specially requested him to say in the Stand
ard that he [Gov. Vance] was “opposed to negoti
ations for peace.” And Mr. Holden winds up that
same address with the pharisaical—yea more than
Pharisaical, impious,—declaration, “Thank God, 1
can say with Mr. Burke, ‘I have no arts but honesf
arts.’” Honest arts!!
There are other obnoxious points iu Mr. Holden’s
address, bat we will pass them by, merely noticing
one or two statements about the Observer.
let. Mr. Holden says that no doubt Gov. Vaucc
or one of his Aids moved the Observer in August
last to make its appeals first and remonstrances af
terwards against the so-called peace movements of
the Standard. The statement is utterly unfounded.
No one out of this office had anything to do with
onr course.
2d. Mr. Holden says that the Observer was kuown
in Raleif^b. loot Baumicr, "as iDe organ of Governor
Vance." This is queer. Mr. Holden should have
ft better memory. It is but six months ago that the
Standard denied that we were even a friend to Gov.
Vance, and plainly told us that we had no right to
speak for Gov. Vance, broadly intimating that the
Standard claimed that as its own exclusive right.
The coarse of Mr. Holden upon this point is remark
able. In September 18C2, the Standard warmly
complimented the Senior Kdltor of the Observer on
the occasion of his visit to Raleigh to be present at
the inauguration of Gov. Vance, saying that out of
the immense crowd there, no one was more gratified
at the election of Gov. Vance. A year after that,
he said we had been no friend of Gov. Vance, had
to be coaxed and managed into his support, and had
done nothing to promote his election. Six mdntha
later Mr. Holden declares that the Observer was
known to be the organ of Gov. Vance at the very
time that he was saying in the Standard that the
Observer was not even the Govemor’a friend!
“Ah what a tangled web we weave. '
When Mrht we practice to deceive. ’
Cultivate your memory, Mr. Holden! with your
practices you have need of it.
As to organship, the Observer never has occupied
that relation to any official. State, Confederate, or
other; and never will while in ilij present hands. Aad
this the Standard well knows. It has indeed bus
tained (rov. Vance’s administration, but that has
been i)ecan8e of his marked ability, honesty and pa
triotism. We have not the honor to occupy any re
lation to him other than that of his friend, expecting
and desiring nothing from him but a faithful per*

Singular Inrident.—After the fight near Drew-
ry's Blufl’ on Monday last, a Surgeon, who was
searching the field for tho wounded, observed a man
in a kneeling position, with his gun to his shoulder,
pointing to the front, his let eye closed, and having
all the appearance of life L'pon examination he
was fouiui to be dead, a ball haviug passed through
his brain, at the moment when, resting on his left
knee, he had taken sight at the foe. It is very re
markable. that si» rigid was the corpse, some force
wau; retjuired to remove the gun from his grasp.
He proved to be a member of the 29th Va. infantry.
