he not p.edge ‘*thi; l\st Dot.i..vR .vndthk last ma.\”
to maintain the wa»- into whiih he voted u.^, after
ha\ing for ten years preached secession and solemn
ly declared that the election of.a sectional I’rosi-
vlent, like Lincoln, would be sufficient cauge for p»t-
:!n*f in pra tit-e his secel|ion doctrines? As neither
Uie State nor the .-uunties nor the I'otifederacy ha-
exhausted th/iust man or the iagt dollar, it wouirt
be well for Mr. Holden at lea^t to remember his
pledge.
In the la,-»t Standard Mr. Holden says:

increased to tiny milL-.*n-: during ih*- three yeans of
war. that wou.d be an ;ar.r-asL' of thirty to thirty
five millions in three yeai'f*, or ten to twelve mil
Lions a year. Why should thi increase for the next
year be more than double that of the average of the
three first yearsr I'ue correct view, it seems to us,
is this; The i-ntire d-bt before the war wa-s fifteen or
twenty miilion?. In thre^ years it ha? swelled to
* twenty-si-x millions. Increase ,-ix to eleven millions
averikging two to four millions a year. Take the
highest figure of in . rea.se. and the aggregate debt of
the State and counties and corporations a year hence,
will probably W thirty millions, instead of seventy-
five millions.
We have our own opinion of the purpose of Mr.
Holden in thus presenting a gloomy and exaggerat
ed view of our finacces. But it is merely an opin
ion, and so wt; leave our readers to form their own
conclasions on that point.
The .Standard goes on to say:— •
“North C;ir>lina was forcpd into thi> war on account
of slave pro[M'rty. Th" valu" of our ^lav***". in gold. >>»>-
fore the war, wa.s (iliout one hundred miliion« of dollars.
We hav.- a'ri.-ady lo.st not than liity thou.-aud slavc.s,
and tho-Hj th:-*. remain to ue are not worth more than our
debt will Ije fhi^' time next year, if the war Hhould Us>t
that long. What, then, have we >;ai-ned in r*'ep!Ct to
slavery or in a pc-cuuiary point of view.' 1- the in.«titu-
tion Ftronger now than it wa.« ia 18(!0? No Sensible per-
scko will Hay it is ar* strong."
It would be more correct to say that slavery was
the origin of the quarrel which resulted in war. For
the causes which forced North Carolina into it, we
refer Mr Holden to the Ordinances of Mesers.
Badger and Craige in the Convention, for which he
voted.
The number of slaves in the State, by the cen
sus of 1810, wan ;{:{l,OHl. Is it fair to estimate
their value at only a hundred millions? We all know
that before the war large and mi.xed lots of negroes
were selling at an average of ^lOOO each. That
would make the total value thn'e hundred and twen
ty-one millions, instead of one hundred millions.
But glOOO each was doubtle.‘>s too high an average.
Two-thirds of that amount was about riirht, and so
the total value woa about two hundred and twenty
millions of dollars. 'I'he Standard’s estimate of this
branch of our ;>r.s '/r- e.s is thus abou : us much un
der the murk m its statement of our li'ihiliti>s is
over it. Thi;n comes iuioth';r e\;ig eration. in the
estimate of a loss of .')>,(jOt* slave • And again an un
der estimate of the value of the remaining 281,081,
If 331,OHl slaves were worth S1'J,000,UOO, as the
Standard “ays, then 281.081 '»ught to be worth
Sf>r),000,00'». and not STo.hU!J,OUO, as it fiays. But
gloom, gloom, gloom, pervadcn all ihe Staodard’s
estimates. What have we gUiOed? and how are we
to pay our diibt;-? are tho (luegtionfl which trouble

one when Mr. Holden was pleaching Becesaion, and
was worthy of consideration even on the 20th of
May 1861, when Mr. Holden voted us into the war.
But that is not the question nov. We are not flght-
ing for slaves alone now. We are fighting for lib
erty, tor property of all sorts, for life, for honor.
Lincoln Itoti declared all theae forfeited, and the sys
tematic robberies, with the horrible brutality with
which even our women and children are treated, too
plainly show that he means to enforce his forfeiture,
if we give him the chani.^. It is a death struggle,
in which every thing is involved. Mr. Holden owes
it to hLs own pledge, he owes it to the people, to the
btate, to her sister States, to the cause of Religion,
Liberty, and Law, to endeavor to uphold oar cause
by presenting as cheerful views of the situation as
truth will justify, and not to discourage the people
and the army by gloomy suppositions, by exagger
ating our difficulties and underrating our re.»ources
and advantages.
“There can be no peace without a treaty, and there
can be no treaty without commissioners appointed
to make it,” says the Raleigh Standard. So there
can be no treaty without yankee cfnumissiouers as
well aa Confederate commissioners. Will the .StiUHi-
ard inform us where these yaukee oommissioners can
be found? Has anybody proposed to appoint such
yankee commissioners? Has the Standard any as
surance from Lincoln that he will appoint them? If
Lincoln has not appointed any, and v\iil uot, what
good would it do to appoint Confederate commis
sioners? Can they make a treaty by themj^elves?
We would like to have candid answers to the above
questions. If the Standard can make it appear that
lincoJn will appoint commissioners, or that Conted-
erate commisnioners alone can make a treaty, we
will guarantee that }’resident Davis will appoint
commissiouers at once. We never had a word of
communiiation with President Davis, {and never
e.\pect to have,! but we know we may pledge him to
that.
The Standard knows that President Davis desiret
peace, and that there is but one way in wluch a
treaty can be made, vix: by a negotiation between
commissioners regularly appointed by the two jvv-
crnTtu'its. The Standard nas already declared that
"the South cannot make overtures" ‘‘so long as a
single enemy is on her soil;" that "so long she must
fight;” that “if she were to less, or attempt to
do leSf, she would be unwortiiy of the spirit and
manhood of her people.” ^
Yet the .Standard now waoUj her to l>e ihu.s un
worthy.

Goi.i .sBono', June —Depending solely on the
“reliable gentleman," we publish the follow^ing items:
From Petersburg we have what we consider re
liable. 'n Friday and Saturday last Grant vigor
ously assaulted our liues near that city six diflerent
tinus and was handsomely repulsed with heavy loss.
On the seventh iirovement Gen. Lee took the oflen-
sive and drove the yankees six miles.
From Danville we have the jrr.iiiKiug as.^uriujce
that the enemy was well repulsed at Staunton bridge,
by a handful of men. Our fori-e has now been mn.;h
strengthened, and that point is all right.
From Wilnungton we learn that on Saturday
night a party of yankees. number not known, suc-
ceedPil in passing Fort Fisher and capturing some
of our pickets. It is thought they have escaped.
Fears are entertained that the yankees are on
another raid to the Petersburg \ Weldou road.
