iMPORrAXT, IF True.—The rumor that Grant has
retreated from bt'ore PeU’rflburp’is so unexpected
iliat we must await more definite intelligence befort*
w,‘ give it croden.-e. If he really has abandoned
ilu* s'.ege of I’etersburg, why hit# he done so? Is it
for t*.e purpose of oaking a sudden attack upon
Itichmouii, hopii'.g to lind (.ien. Lee's forces absent,
at and around Petersburg, Orhas Uen. Early made
a movement th>»t has alarmed Lincoln for the salety
of Washington? It can do no harm now to state,
that more than throe weeks ago the whole of Ewell s
( orps, under Early, iuwtead of crossing to the South
side of the James, marched North and Xorth West
—either towards Waaliington city or the Valley.
What they have done, where they went, or where
they now are, the enemy must know better than we,
tor neither mail nor telegraph has given ns a par
ti* le of information on either point since they took
lip the line of march. It will be a relief to find that
they have drawn off (Jrant’s army from its ])urpose
to destroy Petersburg. And yet this may serve
only to protract the war. We have hoped for some
thing more than a mere demonstration from Early
—some blow that would tell upon the enemy. W’hat
he has done and where he is we shall doubtless hear
in a day or two.
Tuii KKRY Expo>!KD.—The hope of Uolden’s elec
tion, if anybody entertains a hope of so calamitous
and disgraceful au event, evidently rests upon the
expectation that the people can be cheated into a
tieliet that he Is certain to be elected. His two or
gans, well aware of the habit of some to vote for
the man that iii likely to be elected, ply the public
with most ridiculous fitories about the strength of
Mr. Holden—that the people ace for him, and the
soldiers for him, to say nothing of iha women, who
are also claimed for him. intelligent persons, both
iu the State ami in the array, knnw how utterly false
are all these gtora‘8. But it is not intelligent per
sons that Mr. Holden ei.pecls to influence—they are
almost universally against him.
'I’o give plausibility to this pretence of popularity,
some of the most prominent men in the State have
been claimed as for Mr. Holden. Among these we
may mention, Gov. Graham, Gen. Patterson, Hon.
Jusiah Turner. «Ir., and Hon. X. Boyden. It was
doubtless .«iupposed that these gentlemen would not
trouble themselves to contradict the story. But this
was reckoniug without their host. The subjoined
lt*iier from Gov. Graham to the Editor ot the Raleigh
I oaservative shows how that eminent statesman
Stands;.—a thorough friend of Gov. Vance'.^ re-elec
tion, and for the most conclusive reasons. Gen.
Ptttterion's friends have compelled even the P'-o-
gre.ss w retract it.' claim of him, and to aJmit that
he !.• no Uolden mau. The Hon. JosiahTurner, Jr.
ba.1 “authorized the Conservative to state that he
is emphatically for Gov. Vance! ’ The Sali.^bury
Watchman ha.-^ equally exposed the claim of Mr.
Boyden. and de lared that he is in favor of Gov.
V’au-e. Even the Hon. J. M. Leach, lutrmber of
Congress from the Tlh Congresaional Didirici, cer
tainly will not vole for Holden, tiiough he iiiuy not

oaths which they promise not to divulge, and then per-
jurf thtmte've* by divut^g them, what is it all to Mr

estructives and Secessioni'’ts are engaged in all man

take horrid oaths and then break them.

J. D. UvMAN, Ehj.
The Common Fatk.—Col. I). K. Mcilae, Senior
Editor of the Baleigh Confederate, is sharing the
common fate of every prominent North t'aroliman.
The Standard, having praised him in by-gone days,
ifl now abusing him, libelling him, indeed, so scandal-
onsly, (Col. McRae alleges) in a pamphlet which we
have notaeeu, that Col. McRae has sued Mr. Holden
and his associate the Hon. J. T. Ijcach and will give
them an opportunity to prove their charges or pay
the proper penalty. The charges pretend to be
founded upon Col. McRae’s agency for the State in
Europe. W^e have read the articles, pro and con^
in the SUndard and the Confederate, and they have
impressed us with the conviction that the sole ob
ject of Mr. Holden is to get Colonel McRae out of
the way au an opponent of his election to the office
or Governor; that so far from there being any foua
datiOD for the imputations upon Col. McRae, his
agency was of inctJculable value ^to the State, for
there is no telling how much she might have suffered
if her interests had been left exclusively in the hands
of the contractor, the rather notorious George N.
Sanders. Tho roault of (Jol. McRae’s operations
was that he disposed of 228,000 bbls ot common rosin
for the Stat«», for which ho obtained .'iOOO overcoats,
5000 pairs of pants, .^»000 jackets, 5,000 shirts, .5000
caps, 10,000 blanketv% Lfc,000 prs. shoes,-1200 English
rifles, and 100,000 lbs of fixed ammunition. Col.
McRae .says that the shoc.s alone are worth more
here than the rosin will cost, leaving al[^ the rest
i^lear gain.
“A man ot principle is not cliange«l by every win*! of
doctrine.”—Raltigh Standard
Then it Is plain Mr. Holden is not a miin of prin
ciple, for his changes have been constant.
•It IB eafiy to talk, and loud professions cost nothing.”
—Raltigh Standard
On this point no one is more fully qualified to lay
down the law than .Mr. Holden.
“Men are often faithless and fall away from priiiripl*-.”
Raleigh Standard.

than that his friends were engaged in a treasonable officer near Petersburg, July 1st, brought
secret consoiracv—a consnirapv to ovprthrnw thn Weldon by private luiiids and mailed there
secret conspiracy—a conspiracy to overthrow the
Conlederate government and take North Carolina
back into union with the hated band of robbers and
abolitionists and murderers who are desolating our
country. The conduct of these two Holden papers
is such as to cause the conviction that their Editors
were well aware of the existence of this secret asso
ciation, and the absence of a word of condemnation
would indicate that they approved ot it. Will any
one believe, that auch a notice as the above is all
that those papers would have contained if they had
not known that the ^acts stated by Mr. Churchhill
and the other five persons were true/ They would
have denied, if they had dared, for they well know
how damaging such a disclosure must be to the
prospects ol Mr. Holden. The mass of the people
of North Carolina are not traitors tUem.selves, nor
prepared to tolerate treason in others, or to elevate
to the Gubernatorial chair the candidate of traitors.
The article of the Progress, therefore, thus copied
into the Standard, can only be regarded as an ad
mission of the truth of the statements of .Messrs.
Churchhill, Holland, aud others.
It will not do for the Standard lo say that the
Rev. Mr. Churchhill and the others “perjured
themselves’ by divulging the facts in regard to this
■treasonable conspiracy. A man can only commit per
jury - wheu a law/ul oath is administered, in some^ m-
di t,ii proc'eeding, to a person who swears wilfully,
absolutely and falsely, iu a matter m t^enal to the
issue or point in que>^iion.” See Hlackstoue, 4th
book, loth ch. itith par. The i*iime authority goes
on to lay down the law that other oaths, (such as
that administered by the treasonable a.sso. ialion,l
are ‘"unnecessary at least,’’ and therefore not perju
ry. And moreover, if we mistake not, it is not only
not perjury for a man to reveal a matter which he
had been unlawfully sworn to conceal, bjt it is
laid down as a du*y of a citizen to make such reve-
latiou in cases where the publi. saiety requires it.
A man can commit no perjury by revealing a i-rim-
inai and treasonable conspiracy.
A I'RAUo.—la the Raleigh Standard of Tuesday
last, we find what purports to be an ‘Extract from
the House Journals, Monday Mav23, 1864.” It is
a misstatement of the facts. The Editor of the
SUndard did not make his “Extract” from the Jour-
nals. The fraud consists in this: The Standard’s “ex
tract” says:
••Theque.-:tio:i now recurred inwu the adoption of the
second resolution in relation to Gov. Vauce as amended
by Mr. Cobb's resolution endorsing President Davis.”
The Standard's “extract” then gives the yeas and
nays—yeaa 70, nays 26-rand adds:— *
rfo the reoolutious eudorsiug Gov. Vaoce aud l*re^i
dent Davis passed the tiaal vote—yea- 70, naysrfO.'’
\o such paragraph's as these aru in^e Journals.
The Journals show the tnUh, that ® resolution
endorsing Gov. Vance was adopted by a vote of
aa to 3, and that “the other resolution.s” (viz. Mr.
Cobb’s resolutions endorsing President Davis, which
did not contain any allusion whatever to Gov. Vance)
were adopted TO to 26. The Standard manages, by
apreteuUtd extract from the Journals, to make it
appear that Gov. Vance wa.s endorsed by a vote
of 70 to 26, instead of 93 to 3^, as it was in truth, and
as was well known to the EdHor of the Standard.
‘Et-BOAST Extracts.”—A few days ago Gov.
Vance authorized an emphatic contradiction of the
Standard's statement that he had endorsed some
Johnston County resolutions in favor of a State Con
vention. The Standard repeats the statement, and
says in its last issue, July 5, 1864:—
“This eudorsation was given about the 1st January.
1804, and the iinpreK>j;on prevailed up to the 22d of Fel^
ruary. when Go^. V'ancedelivered his VVilkesboio' speech,
ihit he was not hostile to a Convention."
From Jan’y 1,1864, to the delivery of the Wilkes-
borough speech on Feb’y 22, 1864, the impression
pervailed that Gov. Vance “was not hostile to a
Convention,” says the Standard. Is that true'? Let
us see. The Standard is our only witness.
We have before us a copy of the Standard of Feb.
19, 1664. in which is a paragraph copied from the
Observer stating that the Standard’s friends in some
Western counties had been improperly using Gov.
Vance's name as sanctioning the Convention move
ment. The Standard gave various reasons for its
disbelief of this statement, among them this:—
“JJor do we believ* it to be true that “the name of
6ov. Vance is falsely used a^ sanctioning this inoVement.”
On the contrary, tho impi’essiou prevails that Gow.
Vaqce is 0fjp0»eJ to the movement.”
A shocking bad memory has the Standard. In
February it said that’“the impressioa prevails that
Gov. Vance Is opposed to the movement." In July
it says tiiat Gov. Vance had endorsed the movement
on Jan’y 1, and that “the impression prevailed up to
the 22d of Feb’y, when Gov. Vance delivered his
Wilkesborough speech, that he was not hostile to a
Convention.”
Look after that “biting file” Mr. candidate for
Governor!

The following official dispatch, received at the
War Department, is published:—
“HKAny’s A. N. V., July 1.—Gen. Beauregard
reports a feeble demonstration by the enemy on a
portion of Gen. Johnson’s lines about 5 P. M. yes
terday. His skirmishers, supported by two lines of
troops, drove in our line of skirmishers, which how
ever was re-established at dark.
“In the various conflicts with the enemy’s cavalry
in their late expeditions against the railroad, besides
killed and wounded left on the field, 1000 prisoners,
13 pieces of artillery, 30 wagons and horses, ord

the train brings the information, that Grant has
withdrawn his army from the soulli to the north -ide
of the Appomattox—thus abandoning his attack on
Petersburg, and looking to another advance on
Richmond, de.signing. it is said, to combine with his
land assault also au attack by water—unless the
stubborn works at Drewry’s Blulf, and our iroii-clads,
Bhould dispute and prevent his passage, as they are
sure to do.
We under.'tand very heavy artillery tiring was
heard northward yesterday, significant of un engage

The Petersburg and W'eldon Railroad iias been

From Petersburg we have report.s from different
sources that Urant ha.- left the frou* >>/ that c// /
with the whole or the greater portion ot his forc«*s.
We are disposed to believe this true to some extent.
Late Vankee papers betray a fear that Gen. Lee
has stolen a march upon Grant and now threateus
Washington. We infer this from the report that
Burnside’s corps had reached Washington City,
and that Foster's corps had crosNed to the north
side of the James; and from the further fact that
the Weldon and Petersburg railroad is wholly clwai
of the yankees, 30 much so that the road is being
rapidly repaired and will be in a condition to enable
trains to pas through to Petersburg to-day or to
morrow.
iSince the foregoing was written we learn that a
fight or a battle raged yesterday at Pet\;rsburg.

Figh*iwj if Charleston again.—'I’he Charleston
Courier of the 4th reports a resumption of active
operations lu that vicinity. Oa Friday night a con
siderable lorce of the enemy crossed over from Dix
on’s Island to the South end of James’ Island, and
on Saturday morning attacked our pickets and a de
tachment of Blake’s Battery. Our men were posted
behind a breastwork, and after 1 j hours’ tight re-
pulsgd the yankees, who confess to a loss of'JG killed
aud wounded. Attacking again, our tueii fell back,
kaving 2 guns aud 10 to 13 prisoners. 1'he enemy
are since reported to have abandoned this point.
Qn Sunday, another expedition in barges attacked
1* ort Johnson, James Island, and were handsomely
repulsed. The yankees said to be lOOU strong. We
took 140 prisoners, (6 officers), j barges, 114 stand
of arms. Enemy’s loss in killed and wounded not
known, as they were Uken ofl’in the barges. Our
loss 1 killed and 5 wounded.
The enemy made a demonstration also on John’s
Island, but were easily driven off. A demonstration
is also reported near Pocotaligo, but not credited
A vigorous tire was kept up on the City during
these operations. When the Courier closed its re
port heavy tiriug was going on in the direction of
Stono. Gen. Foster is said to have 4,000 men on
Folly Island.
Death ok Col. Andrkws.—A letter ha.s been re
ceived trom a member ot the 5th N. C. Cavalry
containing the following:
‘Col. Andrews of the ‘/d C. Cavalry died of wounds
received in a tight on the Southside 11. Road.”
Col. Andrews we believe was a native of Iredell
county. He was Captain of Co. B, when the Reg’t
was formed in 1861, under Col. Spruill.
The new Brigadier Generals.—Some weeks ago
a list of appointments.of Brigadiers was published,
and among them some five or six from this State.
It was generally supposed that thpse appointments
were permanent, but we learn that they were only
temporary, except in one or two cases. The ap
pointments of Grimes and Barringrer to the command
of Brigades are permanent, because they take the
places, of officers killed, but Cox, Toon and Lewis
only command brigades until the return of wounded
or capturjd officers. So, also, in the case of Ram-,

position and draws the pay of a Major Gen’l, until
Maj. (Jen. Edw’d Johnson, who was captured, re

I THE CAPTURED THIEVES,
j Ftoift the Bichmond Examiner of the 2d inst
The pr®dse number of mounted thieves lately cap-
I lured by our forces near Petersburg, as they were r«-
j turning from a pillaging exp^ition, is not j’et, perhaps,
, exactly •wcertained; nor is it mat'erial to our prosent
I purpose. Our pre.sent purpose is to show that thea«
I thieves are not prisoners of w^r, and that their case falls
j strictly within the province of Police.
Whatever be the number of delinquents thiic (jiken in
the fact, there will be found in their kuap.su. ks, haver
sacks, hokters, pockets—especially in those of the per
sons claimmg to be ofhcers—tho very silver plate, tho
very gold coin, watch«^ an«l sugar tongs which they had
just taken from the drawers and presses of our « iti/.eni:;
there will be found in their possession the very horses
and mules they had stolen, whose owners will lie but 1m>
ha|ipy to identify their property—also, the slaves, in
very large numbers, that they have carried oft' from their
masters. Now when Gen. Lomax captured the baggage
^f the bandit Custar lately, he very properly !idverti.«ed
in the public papers for the owners of the stolen goods
found in that robber’s ti'unk. Here we have at I'eters-
bui^ a certain number of the same sort of characters; be
It 200, 800, or Pi00, the number is nothing—the point
is wliat to do with them, both for restitution of pillageil
propert}' and prevention of such maraudins' for the
future.
If 0ur military authorities could forget for a little that
fal^ chivalry of theirs, and think of tlie real anguii^h of
their own outrageil people, who are earnestly looking to
thefn for protection, it were easy to say what should be
done^ A guard should be ordert'd to strij> and search
those persons,"®9j»ecially tlie “officers” of the gang, make
an inventory of the plunder, advertise it in the jiapers,
■aiul call for the owners to come forward and claim it,
and also to give evidence of the acts of outrage commit
ted or conmianded by any of the band at their houses
respectively Then those who had stolen money or
plate should be sent to the State Penitentiary; those who
had forced or sediu'ial negroes away from their cwners
should Ik; hange»l.
For the pressut wu speak only V f the comparalively
m^ry affair of merely stealing or destroyin^^ property.
Bnt we all know ihat thcro is far blacker crime than
this calling aloud lor \ u|M>n the miscreants.
From many a fair aud once peaceful county of our Htate
rises one long, wild wail—the shrieks of violated wo
men, gone crazy with despair and shame, seem lo load
the air, and to demand of earth and heaven the base
bli*od of their ravLshers. Grey-haired old men and
women driven insane by rage and terror, have died
with maniac yells or idiot ilrivellings. Draw a ♦ urlaiii
over all that, and take the comparatively slight affair of
projterty stolen and negroe.-i instigated to revolt, Wc
have laws in this frouiitry, aud by those laws the criin
iuals should expiate their crimes in tl'p ;^aiil or on tlie
gallows.
The tighting men of those desolated counties are ab
sent^dkey are iu the army. If they were at home, and
if such forays were attempted upon their farms, of course
they would band themselves together, load their wea
pons, lie in wait for the brij^ands at oyery convenient
place, aud exterminate them by every possible means,
taking every j'ossil>le advantage, trapping them likp
wolves, “still-hunting” them, using no mor»* ceremony
with them than wild beasts of the tield. And when
caught, their trial would l>e short, under the tree from
which the noose already dangleiL
It is not true that tho lawo and usages of war reiiuin;
us to treat such persons as prisoners of war. It is not
w'ar that they are engaged in, ImU simply “uiarautyng,”
for which they ought to be punished by their own com
manding otiicers, if they escape ihe legitimate ven
geance of the jteople they have outraged. This military
crime of marauding has been always visited with .sever
ity by the commanding othcers of the marauders theni-
selves, iu wi»rs i ondiicU'd uj»on  ivilized priu iples.
Wheu he Duke of vVertlugton entered Franc , he issued
a .item ]>rohibitiou of all such proceedings, and aftiir
stating the altcged crimes of the French Uueernment, he
added. "To avenge this conduct, on the peacekble iu
habitants of France would be unmauly, and unworthy
of the troops to which the '■ommnnder of ilie forces ad
dressed himself." lu short, the m.'tt'er i-* not capable
of argument: maraudini'. or pilliuje aud outrage intlict
ed on nou-comliaUinls, is not war, and those who [>rac
tise it cannot be considered pri'oni>rs of war, but
enemi>*,i of tile liDinau race, t'> f>e e.’ilirjjated without
delay.
It we have any dflicat»!jimeainishuess upon ihispoini.
our enemic.' have none—as Gen. .\Iorgaa know« u» his
cost. When he went raiding last year through Ohio,
though not as they are uoW doing through \ irginia,)
tli**y trt^nled him as a horse-stealer dud penitenii;u-y con
vict; aud this, we repeat, though there was nocompari-
•sou t^etween the gallant Morgan’s raid and rheins, bccau.se,
in the first place, his invastou of Ohio wa'^ really dtfeu-
sive, not aggre.ssive, meaPl to divert ho.stile tbrces from
h'a own State;—aui becau.«e Morgan's zueu dePlroyed
only public pro|>erly, and took ouly .'uch horses and for
age as were uecdfui to his progress, hut never insulte]
Homen. nor pillaged hou.tcs of plate and mouey.
And a^aiu. only the o’her day, wheu Gen. MorgaQ, ii*
his own St.te of Kentucky, (but which »hey now claim
to l>e Federal country,) sent Geo. Burbrldge a Flag of
Truce, accompanied by the captured yaukee Gen. Hob
son, the said liufbridge refused to recog.lize the Flag of
Truce, seized the two otliccnj who lx>re it, and sent iloh-
rou back to bis command That is to say, tJurbridge
te>dily i-efused lo recognize ^organ as li soldier, eu-
ga>;ed m making war, aud privileged to send a Flag of
Truce, but treated him as a common outlaw.
And if our enemies so deal with Goufederate ofticer.s
tightiug for the iudupeudence of their own yet uncon
quered ^jtate, shall we not deal iu like manner with the
«.;od-for.s*iken scoundrels who iufest our Virginia valleys,
making a pretence of war, only to gratify their own
covetousuees, cruelty aud lusf^
Hut tnen, it is said.—the yankees have so many prison
ers ot ours in their hauds; aad they wilt murder some of
them, under pretence of retaliation. ^I'o this there is no
answer: if we are afraid to protect our citiz.eu,- from i'ol>
t)era lest our enemy should murder tlit'U' prifouer‘>, » * *
the less we say about it the better.

remarked that he inteuded to go to Virginia, for there
he would so-iaest meet the enemy. An offer of a pcsi-
