OBSERVER. FA VETTi:Vli.I^E. ^ THnWDAI IYBNI50, JULI 28, 1^. CHANGE OF TERMS. The price of the W«ekly Observsr will hereafter be «10 00 a y«ar, and of the Semi.Weekly $15 00 ! And in the same proportion for shorter period* than a year. With great regret we are obliged once more to advance the prioea of subscription to the Observer. But for the facts thaji our subscription list has swelled to more theusands than we can conveniently supply with the limited means at onr disposal, and that we desire as a w'lief from meahanieal labors . which have become too great for us—a diminution » rather than an increase of our list, we would much ; prefet- to reduce prices, especially at this time of scarcity of money. But.a late, very large advance io the prioe of paper, which increases our-expenses [ many thousands of dollars a year, requires the step. It is true that other expenses have increased and are ' iucreasins:—telegraphic dispatches, for instance, I which cost us several thousand dollars a year—but j we would have borne these additions. The addi- j tional cost of paper w« oould not stand at i»nr old and comparatively low prices 5 JcLr 11. 1864. Holden’s Prospkcts.—It is not easy to conceive bow any man can suppose that a candidate con get a decent vote when nobody, or next to nabody, can be found who is willing to avow that he means to vote for him. No doubt Mr. Holden has here and there a friend or admirer, and no doubt h»^wiil g>et a few thousand votes; but to expect a respectable vole for a man whom even his friends are ashamed openly to advocate, is unreasonable. He may get the secrct voU's of the members of the secret trea sonable association, the “H. O. A’s,” who probably number several hundred in the State, and he will get all the deserters who may be bold enough to venture out of the woods to vote, «ud he will get some.votes from credulous people who rely upon cunning worils rather than honest acts, who are silly enough to suppose that Holden can do anything to promote peace, when it is apparent that his whole course has eiioouraged the yankees to prolong the war, which ht, more than any other man in North Carolina, brought upon us. The great body of the sensible people, and especially of the honest people, are ajjainst him. X o surer evidence of that need be brought forward than this; that candidates in nearly every part of the State, however much they may at some time or other have leaned to Holdenism, are coming out against him. The convictions of some of them are no doubt against him and in favor of Gov. Vttiice. Others manifestly discovered that the people were so thoroughly in favor of Vance that they stood no chance to be elected unless they came out for h m. Such is apparently the case mentioned lU a letter from Stanly county, of which the follow ing is an extract:— "YaDce will carry the county at least two to one. Our old Ccimmoner Greene, whona you classed as a Holdenite and who failed to vote for the resulutiond endorsing Gov. Vance, has cume out squarely for Vance. We have two running for the Commons, l>9th for Vance ” Now here i3 a member of the late House of Com mon?, so fiit-ndiy o Holden that, though he did not vote wiih the thr*e Holdenites against the resolu tion applauding Gov. Vance’s Administration, yet would not vote/c r the resolution. He was from a county that guve 551 votes for Christian (Holden ite) to 155 for Asiie. Vet even he, carefully noting the signs of the limes, appeals to the people of Stan ly to re-elect him on the ground that he is for Gov. Vance. This tuct clearly indicates the current of public opinion. And there are other counties wd other candidates in the same condition as Stanly and Mr. Greene. Look at the account given us by a most respectable citizen of Richmond county of the discussion in that county. Mark the abuse of Hol den by Col. O. H. Dockery and his father, Gen. Dockery, both known friends and porrespondents of the said “unscrupulous partizan," who had “out-lied them all.” What does all this mean? Why that Holden is so unpopular, that as their only hope of success his friends turn in and abuse him as an un- Bcraptilous partizan and a liar par excellence. The demagogue is getting his deserts. It only remains for the people, on Thursday next, to con sign him to the place appropriate for such a man as Col. Dockery and Gen. Dockery—his friends— describe. The ill temper displayed in his last Stand ard is a sign that he knows what his fate will be. His efforts to deceive the people into the belief that he will be elected have not deceived himself. ScppBKssioN OF A>' IMPORTANT Fact.—On Mon day last we pablished a dispatch from Richmond giving an account of a correspondence between Clay, Holcombe and Sanders, and Horace Greeley, in relation to negotiations for peace, showing that Liii- coln said “he would consider peace propositions based on the integrity of the Union, the abandon ment of slavery, fec.,” and stating that Clay and Holcombe “repelled the condition proposed by Lin- COlUv” This news was published in Ralefgh on Monday morning. The Standard of Tuesday, (printed on Monday afternoon,) hc/s not one wo^d about it. It copied from the Raleigh papers of that morning all the telegraphic dispatches except that one and an other giving an account of dissensions in Lincoln s Cabinet. Now there was a purpose in this suppression of an important fact. What was it? Evidently, to keep up the delusion which the Standard has been labor ing to produce, that the Confederate authorities were not making efforts to bring about negotiations, and that if they would make such efforts, peace might be obtained. Here was the fact that Lincoln had been applied to to permit peace Commissioners to go to Washington, and had refused except upon conditions utterly inadmissible. This fact might have opened the eyes of the deluded followers of the Standard, and therefore it is suppressed and tha peo ple kept in ignorance—in plain terms cheated. And this is one of Mr. Holden’s “honest arts!” A Rioht Virw.—The Oharleston Mercury, shak ing of the new Secretary of the Tieasnry, says:— , pot.don is filled with difficultiee. It will task to uie utterm^t his energieA and wisdom; and all his ener- Sy ^ abihty ram be inadequate to mve Bystem and coDhdence to our finances. Yet, let him try; and let ns enoMvor to help him in tryiiVg. If support^ by a suc- csssful resistance of oar foes, we may yet prove that our integrity is equal to our valor. All his lai^ experience, ^eat mereantile ability, aad unblemished int^iW, Mr. ^enholm will devote to the interests of the CJonfederacy. He has has been entirely "nd radically opposed to'^very policy in the least degree squinting towards repudiation in *ny shi^ orlbrm. If he fails, it will be because in the condition he takes our finances, no one could succeed,” This is well said. But if the Mercury can thus wisely counsel in favor of a citizen of Charleston who enters the Cabinet, why not^n regard to the other members of the Administration, including the President? They have all “tried” to promote the interest of the Confederacy, to conduct the war to a successful result, and to secure our independence; why should not we all, including the Mercury^ “help them in trying”? Their positions are filled with dif ficulties, and those difficulties have been increased by the bitter opposition of the Mercury. They have tax ed to the uttermost their energies and wisdom, and so far from being inadequate, it is wonderful to what a degree they have succeeded. If they fail, it will be because of the disaffection produced by the Charles ton Mercury, the Raleigh Standard, and suoh papers which refused to “help them in trying.” But they will not fail, though success would be more easy if the Mercury and all others would, help. Holde.v and tuk Messrs. Dockerv.—An hour after we received the account of the discussion in Richmond county, which we publish in another col umn, came the Raleigh Standard^ from which we copy the following. It will be' seen that while the Colonel was calling Holden an “unscmpulus parti zan,” and the General denouncing him as the greatest liar of them aU, the Standard was giving point to their charges by endorsing their characters:— ^ “ ^ntleman of superior attainments, and a ^i^ryatiyc ‘after the straitest sect.” We learn Uiat his election is certain by a large majoritv. He is a chip of the old block.” Gen. Alfred Dockery, one of worthiest citizens of the !S?ate. —ftale^h Sttuuiard, July WORSK AND WORSS—Forging an “extract” from the Journals of the Legislature was bad, even for Mr. Holden. Palming off some candidate’s adver tisement in the Observer as an editorial notice in the Observer was a little worse. But Mr. Holden sur passes these performances by perpetrating in the last Standard a fraud lower and meaner still. Be copies one paragraph of a brief article in the Ob server of the 21st inst., in relation to Mr. Holden’s ‘bad investment ’ of money and labor in supplying some Harnett free negroes with tickets and circulars, and then abuses us through nearly a column for hav ing endeavored to make people believe that he waS' in correspondence with free negroes to aid hia elec tion! If Mr. Holden had copied instead of carefully omitting the very brief second paragraph, he might have saved all the space devoted to abuse of us, and saved himself at the same time from the sin of sun dry wicked and wilful and paliciotis slanders. Thongh we knew nothing whatever of the matter, our own opinion was ‘ then expressed that Mr. Holden had been fooled by somebody into this waste of his time and money; and we did so because our correspon dents evidently entertained a different opinion. They thought that Mr. Holden had done something very wrong in fact and in purpose. We corrected that impression while we could but tell and enjoy the joke. And the man who is guilty of such Irauds as this asks the people of North Carolina to make him their Governor! Seriously we ask the pardon of the two negroes in Harnett for 'associating their names with hia. Some bad free negroes have given a bad name to tha whole class, and these may be as bad as any. But be they the worst of their species, they are en titled to an apology for connecting their names with that of this self-made candidate for Governor. A Coxflixbnt to Gov. Vancb.—W. H. Neave, Band Teacher of the 49th N. C. T., in a letter pub lished in the Raleigh Conservative, says:— “When 1 was training the band of the 20th N. C. Re.a'i- ment in Hoke’s Brigade last December, Major Snodgrass, (he Division (Early's) quartermaster, invit^ the band to play at a Ghriatmas supper, given to the field officers of the whole diviaion. Hoke’s brigade being on picket, he nor any of his officers were present: Virginians, Geor gians, and Louis'aniwns, composed the rest of the divi sion. Gen. Hays of Louisiana thanked the band for their music, and aftur concluding a just aad glowine eulogium on the old North State and her soldiers, be said: “And hs for jour noble young Governor, he is worth any four, yea all »h ^ Governors in toe Southern Confederacy put together; you have such reason to be proud of him that I deeplv envy you, as the soldiers of every State envy' those of North Carolina, seeing how much better they are equipped than they are. Ue is a perfect model of exhauotless physical energy a'd endurance, mental per spicacity, unselfiab.impei-sonal, unbiassed patriotism,'’ This was his exact language to us, the band, the only North Carolinians pre^^ent; and such is substantially expressed by military men of all degrees from every State now and all along back.’’ THE PEACE OOBBESPONDENeB. The Richmond Sentinel, received by last night's mail, contains the followiq^ [the fullest we have seen} statement taken from the Baltimore Gazette of the 23d inst:— Buffalo, July 21.—The oorrespondenoe with the Re- agents Shows that Messrs. day, Holcombe and Saun- ders asked^n the 12th of Horace Greeley the protection « ® President or Sec’y of War to visit Washings.

T^ej' ask a safe conduct to Washington, and thence to Richmond. Grwley answers that the state of facts be- ing materially different from that understood to exist by the President, it was advisable for him to commimi^^ by telegraph with him, and obtain instructions. After some further correspondence in relation to Mr. Greeley s communication with President Lincoln, the following was received from the President: To Hon. Horace Greeley: Executive Mansion, Washi.wto® July 18, 1864. To Whom it may Concern: * Any pi'oposition which embraces the restoration of peace, tiie integrity of the whole Union and the aban donment of slavery, and which comes by and with au thority that can control the armies now at war agunst the United States, will be received and considered by the Executive Government of the United States, and will bo met by liberal terms on other substantial and collat eral points, and the bearer or bearers thereof whall have safe conduct both ways. [Signed] Abraham Lincoln. Maj. Hay, on the 20th, in a note, asks Messrs. Hol combe and others if they have any communication to send to Washington by him. Holcombe replies on the 21st, regretting that he has t)een delayed by any expectation of an answer to his communication delivered to the President of the United Stites, adding thkt the communication was accepted as a response to the letter of Clay and Ho’combe to Mr. Greeley, and to that gentleman has an answer been transmitted. The letter to Greeley says: After alluding to the tender of safe conduct to W a«hingtou on the hypothesis tliat we were duly accredited from Richmond as bearers of pro- positiona looking to the estsblishment of peace, says that this assertion was accepted as an evidence of a» unex pected but most gratifying change in the policy of the President—a change which he felt authorized to hope might terminate in the conclusion of a peace, mutually just, honorable and advantageous to the North and to the South. “Exacting no condition but that we should be duly accredited from Richmond as bearers of proposi- tiuus looking to the establishment of peace, thus propos ing a basis for a conference as comprehensive as wo could desire, it seemed to us that the President opened a door which liad previously been closed against the Con federate States, for a full interchange ol sentiments, a free discussion of cundicting opinions, and an untram melled effort to remove all causes of controversy by lib eral n^otiations.

Pktersborq, July 26.—Han- cook 8 2d Corps, (Yankee) which was in onr front a few days ago, and perhaps other yankee forces, have gone to the North side of the James. Some en gagement occurred there to-day, but full particulars have not transpired. In ^Qt of this place all is comparatively quiet, though Grant is still digging. j ^ ’ From the James.—On Friday night last a strong force of the enemy, said to consist of infantry, ar- tille^ and cavalry, crossed from Bermuda Hundreds to the north side of the James, near Deep Bottom. Their object was supposed to be to make up towards Richmond, create a divert ion, and, if possible, re lieve Washiugton of the danger threatened by Blarly. Richmond Enquirer, 25th. * Pr(m the VaU.ey.~A gentleman who reached I tiw ciW oa Saturday night from Wdinburg, twelve miiesliiorth of New Market, stares that when he left, atrasbnrg was held by onr forces. It was thought they would fall back, the enemy being re ported in very heavy force. We learn from an officer who arrived on last even-' ing’s train, that on Wednesday.last Ramsenr’s di vision was unfortunate enough to be attacked near Winchester, at a moment when it was not w41 pre pared to meet a sodden attack from a superior force. The result was the division was compelled to re treat, altor dhffering a loss of from three to four hundred in killed, wounded and mi sing and three I or four guns. Our army is still in fine condition and at the right place.—Ib. telegrajj^c account of a victory at c ester.j Prom Petersburg.—On Friday night and dnrmg Saturday, there was some heavy skirmishing, and of picket firing there was no end to it. The cannonading too, a part of the time, was very severe. On Satur- dAy last, from about 12^ to I o’clock, there was a most furious and incessant cannonading from our batteries oh the Chesterfield side of the Appomat tox. The discharges were estimated at »[) per - , , nainnte, and it-is thought that not less thai 40 or 60 peated and as oft«n repulsed ^mpts to open negotia- j guns participated.

B. Moore, author of the Dixie series It contains 120 pages and is of fair print, the paper and binding being about as good, we suppose, as can be had at present. Messrs. Branson and Farrar are extensively en gaged in publishing School books, and we hope they find it sufficiently profitable to continue and to ex tend that business. Reported Death of Captain «fosBPH Baker.— It has been reported that our townsman and friend, Capt. Jos. Baker, 2d N. C. Cavalry, had been killed in one of the late battles in Virginia. We did not credit the report, hoping that he was only a prison er. But it is now stated in the official list of casu alties which we copy. We still hope that it may prove to be a false report Capt. Baker had been in the service about three years, and was a faithful and gallant officer. If killed, he is the second of several brothers in the service who has given his life to his country. Gov.-Vanck at Salem.—A letter from a friend in Stokes county says:— ‘ I had f'c great pi asiire of hearing Gov. Vanoe speak in Salem la»t week. If every pirson would divest them selves of prejudice, atul then hear Gov V., they would not be in favor of th** Htraitest sect ciudidate (H. O. A.) A very large crond was in attendance at Salem, and thn most warked attention was paid to Gov. V. daring the d«Uv«rj of nis great speech. He oataioly conviooed mf toor of Iheit Pink Potatoks.—We have received from Mrs. Dr Foulkes a basket of the largest Irish potatoes we have seen this year. They were grown in her gar den from seed brought from the monntains of Vir ginia. One stalk produced upwards of 80 potatoes I There may be some virtue in the seed, but more, we suspect, in the manner of cultivation. The Election.—Our friends will oblige us if-they will send us early and accurate returns. Yankee Items.—Richmond papers contain the following items taken from the Baltimore Gazette of the 23d:— Another Peace Business.—The Gazette states, on the authority of the Washington correspondents of several'New York papers, that a Rev. Colonel Jacques and a Mr. Edward KJrk wete recentiy at the Spotswood Hotel, Richmond, on a secret mission^ that they were ele^ntly entertained for three days that they had.two interviews with “Mr. Davis,” &c What passed at these interviews will not be disclosed for the present, but "it is intimated that Mr. Davis would consent to nothing short of the recognition of the Confederacy." Prom JIfissouri.—The latest advices from Mis souri are exciting. The guerillas are increasing in that State to an unprecedented extent, and it is now confidently asserted that 50.000 men, under Gen. Price, have also entered the State. From the tone of the last telegram which reaches us, we should I jndge that the authorities are alarmed at the aspect of afiairs, and are not in a condition to meet the emergency with any i^equate military force manifestation on the part of the President of the Unit^ States would be met by them in a temper of equal mag nanimity We had, therefore, no hesitation in declaring thait if this correspondence were communicated to the President of the Contederate States, he w^nild promptly embrace the opportunity Resented for seeking a peaceful solutioq of this unhappy strife. »V e feel confident you must share our profound regret that the spirit which dictat^ the first step towards peace had not continued to animate the couocils of your President. Had the Representatives of the two Gwernments met to consider this question, the Aost momentous ever sub mitted to human etateamanship, in a ten^>er of beooming moderation and equity, followed as their deliberation^ would have l>een by the prayers anti benedictions of every patriot and christian on the habitable globe, who is there so bold as to pronounce that the frightful waste of individual happiness and public prosperity which is daily saddening the universal heart might not have been terminated, or, if the desolation and carnage of war must still be endured through weary years of blood and suffer ing, that there might not at least have been infused into its conduct something more of a spirit which softens and partially redeems its brutality. loatead of the safe conduce which we solicited, and which your first letter gave us uvery reason to suppose would be exteaded for-the purpose of initi^tin^ tiations in which neither Government would compro^' mtse its right or its difpiity, a document is presented wiiich provokes as much indignation as surprise. It bears no feature of rescmb'auce to that which vias originally offered, and is unlike any paper which ever before emanated from the constitutional Executive of a free oeople, addressed “To whom it may concern.” It preelud«-8 n>*gotiation and prescrites in adyanoe the terms aud conditious of peace. It returns to the origin al policy of no bargaining, no negotiations, no truce with rebels, except to bury their dead, until every man shall have laid down his arms, submitted to the Government and sued for mercy. What may ba the explaoation of this sudlen and entire change in the views of the President, of this rude with drawal of a courteona overture for negotiations, at the moment it was likely to be accepted, of this emphatic recall of words of peace just uttered, and of fre^h blasts of war to the bitter end, we leave for the speculation of those wbo have the means or inclinauon to penetrate the mysteries of his Cabinet, or fathom the caprice of his im perial will. It is enough for ns to say that we have no use whatever for the paper which hsis been put in our hands. We could not transit it to the President of the Con federate States without, offering him an indignity, dls- h'onoriug ourselves and incurring the well merited scorn of our countrymen. Whilst an ardent desire for p^ace pervades the people of the Confederate States, we rejoice to believe there are few, if any, among them who would purchase it at the expense of liberty, honor and self-respect. If it can be procured only by their submission to terms of conquest, generations yet unborn must witness its restoration. If there be any military autocrat in the North ’who is entitled to proffer the conditions of this manifesto, there is none in the South authorized to entert^ them. Those who control our armies are the servants of tbe people, not their masters. They have no more inclina tion than they have the right to subvert the social insti tutions of sovereign States—to overthrow their estab lished constitutions and to "barter away their priceless heritage of self-government. Georgia.—Every train arriving is crowded with militia responding to the Governor’s last call. They are qnickly transferred and sent forward to the front. The grand old State is yet full of patriotism. Macon Confederate, 22d. The Alabama.—It is announced npon good au thority, according to a Southampton aespatch, that Capt.

O thou enemy of all rightoonsness, how long wilt thou not cease to perver* the right ways of God and man. Thero is a striking resembianoe between the Devil and H Iden The devil is a deoeiver, and so is Holden. I might say the devil is a liar and so is Holden, but that would look a little rough. Tbe devil is a very disoontoated being; so ia Holden. The devil makes his greatest efforts to pull down the best of men; so does Uulden. The devil wonld not be satisfied in he'-'en unless he eould be worshiped and like tbe most High; so it ia with Holden. The devil will get his best friends and most faithful followers into diffioulties; so it is with Holden. The devil mnst be a bad lookine oreature, with so many bad qualities, after so many disappointmenth; eo is Hol(*eu. The devil is with Lineoln in this war on the South; so is Holden. Tbe devil’s oase is hopeless and hia condition irretriev able; so is Holden’s The detil and Linocln wonld oom- nromise th's war if they eou’d get more by a compro- a'HO than they can by fighting; lo woutd Holden.
