-Rt*> idvRntnare?. without a ninjrle mishap Two of
tbom re ouile iwportant, the others of minor im-
r rteroe except »» exhibitinjr jrreatfrallantry. These
!«?♦ were the surprise ard capture of 88 yatikees near
Petersbnr^, and the captiire and destmction of »
vankee mail steamer near Roanoke Island, accom
plished by 13 men, who killed 2, wonnded 4. and cap-
tnred 2S. inclndinir 4 negroes and a Lieut. Ooloni*!.
B Major and a Lientenant. A handsome job for 13
itwlnte men.
The dnsh of Hampton’s cavalry into the yankee
Unes near Petersbnrjr, bringing off safely 2500 fat
beeves and 300 yankfes. is qnite an event. 2500
boeves are worth some four or five millions of dol
lars—worth vastly more than an eqnal nnmber of
y&nkees—and particnlarly acceptable to our army,
which is necessarily fed mainly on salt meat, and not
nn over qn«ntity of that. We like to see this forag-
ine npon the er'emy.
The fourth happy event is the ‘ complete victory”
by Shelley in Arkansas, of which as yet we know not
the extent.
This is all cheering, and comes in good time to
ronnteract the notion of some of onr contemporarieH
that there was a turn in the tide of “good Inck,” as
they call it, with which our arms have been blessed
for six months past. There is no such thing as “lack."
good or bad. Intellect, energv, perseverance, valor,
determine events, under Providence. And onr glo
rious armv i" too fnll of these hieh qualities to per
mit an adverse tide to run its course, a«> the events
of the past week show. They are not dispirited by
one disnster. ror wonld they be if unfortunately call
ed tipcn to endure others.
A LosstothkStatr.—The capture of the steamer
Ad-Yoroe is a misfortanc to the State. She had
been so fortunate, had made so man^ successfal and
profi*^ab!e trip?, that we had come to look npon her
m alwavs safe from the yankct' 'rvi^ers. But she
left Wilmifflrton on Friday p'\’t he 9th, and was
captured off Cape Hatteras on the next day. So we
lea-n from the yankee a^'coun^s, wh’ch are doubtless
correct. She waa loaded with cotton, and is said to
have bad besides SJ25.000 in gold on board. To
whcm thif belonged, if there at all. we know not.
The ’oUon doubtless belon?ed in great part to the
State, probably in proportion to ^he interest held by
the State in the ves?el itself, which was one-half only,
we believe. The steatper was originally bought by
the State, at a cost of 8190 000; but after she had
made five succepsfnl round ♦rips. Gov. Yance sold
the hslf of her for $350,000 in State bonds. Since
that tiiT’e. ?ix or eight months ago, we believe, she
haa no doubt clea’^ed far more than the 3350,000 of
pnrcbase money to her part owners, besides an equal
uncnnt to the State. Her loss, therefore, though a
^at inconvenience, is chiefly a loss of what more
mi?ht have been made by her.
We believe that the State has an interest in two
or three other steamers.
Thi r.r.inAX OF Crcki.tt—The expulsion of
the people of Atlanta from their homes—twenty

—We were about to publish & curious
••rrejpendence between J^ne. Hood a'^'d Sherman,
uut an item by telegraph supersedes the necessity of
more than a briel btatement of iis points.
On the 8th irst. Gen. Hood wrote to Sheruian pro

present caaipaign Sherman on the same day ac-
fi^pted tl.e propc. al, unconditionally, stating tha* he
had some 160^ of ours, the others having been sent
North, and passed out of hia power. On the next
day, however, when the ofhcers met to effect the ex
change, Sherman’s representative presented s, letter
from him Ftaiing that he would hot take from Hood
any pjironer whniie term of service bad expired, nor
any one belonging to any army but his own. He
further proposed to collect up the male citizens of
Atlanta, -.urkmen, fec., about 10(t0 in number, and
to ex^'ha' ge them for men, not trained soldiers, cap
tnred from the U. S. army. These unparalleled pro
positioE*^ were of course df'clined by Hood, with a
sharp rebuke for bi.s violation ol engagement, for the

would seem to be wise policy, for the »to'''T>Mre of
the campaign in Georjria after the capturr of Atlanta
indicates ♦baf Bherman will not only rot need rein
forcements but that he will in all probability rein-
fore© Grant. Tt is well known to*' that the yankee
troops in Misnisdippi have been withdrawn ^*om that
Stpte and sert somewhere, probably to Virginia.
The yankees fnncy. or pretend to fancy, that the cap
ture of Atlanta if the end of the war ia Georgie, and
that the onh other thing necessary to be done is to
capture Richmond. Of course, if such is their opin
ion, they will devote to that object ell the energies
which have heretofore been divided between Rich
mond and Georpia Seward, in his speech at Au
burn, considered Atlanta as the ‘‘big end” of an egg.
which, being broker, makes it easy to crush the
whole shell. He said:—
‘Tho reb*>lVous di*frict is in the i»hane of an eesr: if you

We think that Seward and Grant will find that
th^re is somethintr stronger than a shell, both at
Richmond and in the body and big of his eg?
But to make it capable of resisting the attempt t^
crush it. Gen. liee mnst have plenty of men. We do
not of f onrse know the arranirements of the War Pe-
p*"tment in this matter, but douM not that all wiH
be done that can be done to meet the emergency.
A CoKv«NiENT Doctkin'r.-t-Among all the strange
notions of these strange times, it would not be easy
to find one mere strange than that enunciated bv
Secretary Seward, at Auburn some months ago and
again in his Auburn speech a few days ago, that
Lincoln is entitled to continue President of the U-
nitcd States, (and Seward Secretary of State, of
course,) until his rule over the whole of the States.
^onfe«^erate as well as Federal, is established. The
following is an extract from his late speech:—

N'ext to beirg ourselves subjugated, would be the

Thk Fxprms i’ojiPA»iV.—The Salisbury Watch
man recently complained of the charges made by
this company for r»rrying goods, and cited one in
t>»nce where .§1 fXHJ were charged for carrying 20 bbls.
of flour from Saii.-bury to Petersburg. This hag
brought a reply from Col. Bullock, ^he Superintend-
nt of the Express, iu which he shows that the Rail
roads charged 8^44 of the 81000, leaving $15fl to
the company for risk, handling, drayage, and deliv«>.
ry in Petersburg—certainly not an extortionate pro
fit by the company, whatever it may t>* by th« rail
roads. But Col. Bullock states that the flour was
worth S120 per bbl. in Salisbury; tlie $,^0 freight to
Petersburg made this gl70. It was worth in Pe-
tetpburg S300. So thnt the shipper, ♦ho made a
protit of :?130 a bbl., bad no reason to complain.
We notice this because we think the charges for
freight excessive, and because this statement by
4Jol. Bnlloci appenrs to show where the blame rests
The atibject is chicfly of interest now as it affects the

TAXKBB SPBCUT.ATIONS.
A W«ek ago the telegraph annonnced some reve
lations made by the New York Mercorv, purportine
to b© “an inc’de view of the proceedings of the Chi
cago Ccnver.tion.” The following extracts from the
article in tbe Mercaiy have been published and may
interest the reader;
“Talk as we may of the old Union, under which
the nation «*+aiTted such a degree of prosperity and
advanced at once to the front rank amone the na
tionalities of the world, its restoration is impossible.
Only a lany wonld ever dream of its being restored.
There will, undoubtedly, be n r*‘conntrvc(iov, but
never a restoratinn of tho Union. The questions
that are to be settled, the new condition of things
consequent upon the disruption of the old. the chancred
relations ♦'f capital and labor,' tho increase of the
quantify of power surrendered to the General Gov
ernment by the people, the relation of the States to
the Federal Union, the influence of the conduct of
National affairs, which is sure to be accorded to the
military element—all these considerations forbid the
idea of our living under a union snch as that
which we lived end thrived from 1776 to 1861. iTiis
statement mav appal the thousands of crood people
who live in the past and dream of days that are no
more. These days not onlv are. but can be no more.

the old Union for which vc Icrruh The nation has
entered unon an entirely new p>inge of its existence,
whether we are willinar or not to acknowled»re it.
Thip errand fact wes duly recognized bv those who
formed this conHave at Nia gara Fella. The problem
they set to work to solve was +o reconstruct the U-
nion on a plan satisfactory to 'dl sections, and to con
vince the Democratic pnrty of the necessitv of adopt-
injr tl>« pl«»n, or one of pim'lar import. After loni?
und earnest deliberation, in wbict’ Messrs. Clay, Hol
combe and Sander* participated, the following gene
ral conclusion was reached, and was tacitly atn^ed to
by the National Democratic Convention at Chicago,
rmi PLAN roa rkcomsthuction.
It waa. that what vrns orce the Urited States be di

of the other in the manac'’ment of its local affairs, yet

•t)f course, it wa» not de»med prudent to make all
this apparent in the dehst*s of the Convention, still less

the leaders were well inform*^ of it, and are pledged to
carry it into erecution in the event of the success of th**
Democratic pfirtv at the polls in November. Tim» and
circumstances will doubtless cause certain changes inth

'Hkadq’rs, A.N. V., Sept.. 17.—Atday-lijrhtvep-
terdav. the enemy’s skirmieb lines West of the Jeru
salem Plank Road were drfven back upon their en^
trencbments along their whole extent. At tbe same
hour. G»n. Hampton attacked his position North of
the Norfolk Rnilroad. near Sycamore Church, and
eaptured abont 300 pripoTers. some «rros, wagons, a
larpe nnmb^ r of horses, and 2,')00 cattle.
Gen. Grepjr attacked Hampton on his return, in
the afternoon, at Belcher’s Mill, on the Jerusalem
plank Rofl(i ^^3 repulsed and driven back.
“Everythinir was brouc'ht ofT safely. Our entire

Atlanta report fhat S^ierman’a army is being rapidlv
depleted bv the fifoipp off* of men whose terms of ser
vice hav p expired Rome statements place the num
ber alre idy gone at 10.000.
TTie Cha+tcnoofra CyankAe] Ga*ette of tbe 13th
s^ys that Wheeler has been driven from Middle Ten
nessee bp ftteadman.
It cor tains also an order ftrom Sherman congratu
lating bis army on its success. He says they have
succesefallv completed a great campaign, and that
Atlanta’s fall was the result of Hood’s mistake in
sending his cavalry t/> tbe rear It must be con
ceded. be says, that ♦he enemy njet us patiently and
skillfully; but at last tbe mistake was made; his
cavalry was sent to our rear, far beyond reach of re
call: instantly our cavalry was on his one remaining
road; the main army quickly followed; and Atlanta
fell.
Yesterday was observed throuehout the State, by
people and army, as a day of fesfing and prayer.
Macon, Sept IT.—Tt !«• rep'rted, with oonsidera-.
ble show of truth, +hat Gen.'Sherman has sent ano
ther reqtiest for Gov. Frown. Vice President Ste-
pheup, ard Senator H. T Johnson, to meet him at
Atlanta and have a talk abont Peace.
Briff. Oen. F. A. Shoup has been relieved of duty
as Chief of Staff to Gen. Hood.
Exiles from • Atlanta continue to come into our
lines Several hundred families have arrived in the
most de^nerate condition imasrinable.
Gens. Hood at>d Sh«*rman have agreed npon a
special exchange of 2000 prisoners. Several hun
dred of the number will be sent forward to-night for
that purpose.
Th* Mails.—Again, the latest Virginia paper re
ceived here is of last 'I'hnrsday morning. The mail
aervica for the past week has been worse than the
usual had, the Northern mail having come through
but on two days of the seven. l)n I’hursday n-ght
we had portions of our Virginia mail* of Monday and
Tuesday, and on Saturday night portions of Wed
nesday’s and Thursday’s mail.s. On the other days
there was no mail.
Another Barn Burnt.—On Sunday night last the
barn ot Joel Fultin, of this county, was set on fire
und burnt to the ground, with contents of 124 bush
els wheat, cf his owe, and the smaller crops of the
Hev. Mr. Allen and Mrs. Carter, which were threshed
at Mr. Fultin's-and had not been removed. There
was also a considerable quantity of threshed oats
and some roaih feed consumed by this fire.
The same night eome Btravv was eet on fire near
the l)arn of Air. Wm. Fulp, but the wind fortunately
liting unfavorable, the barn was unharmed.
A few weekrf previous to these fires au anonymous
advertisement was ported up, toreatening vengeance
against a uainber cf per?ons named therein, Mr. Ful-
tin, we bclifve, amon^ rhem.—Salem Prnta.

raisffl in this rounty, and was a son of Absalom
Myers, formerly of this conntj, bat now a citizen of
MissiiiHippi.—M C. A rgus.
The N. Orptiaii Kndowm^t Funi.—Rev.
Charles F. Deems, D. jj., the ftiancial agent for
this Fund, visited onr I'owo on Tuesday last, and
addressed a large assemblage of our citizens. After
l^is addrqp^i he jjftlled upop Wi bearers for coptribu-
tiitms to fbe caHs'e. and obtain^ |V^t
er.
A GaUant Ajfiafr.—Abont a week ago Mr James
B. Hopkins, pilot of the ram .Albemarle, nndertook
to capture the Yankee mail boat Fawn, plying be
tween Roanoke Inland and Norfolk by way of tbe
Currituck cenal aud A Ibemarle sound. With s de-
♦achment of eight beamen and marines ftom the Al
bemarle and a like number of soldiers, detachments
of the 10th N. C. Artillery and ff>e 50tb N. C. In
fantry. he set ont on the expedition. On tbe 9th
inst, he brought to tbe Fawn some distance up the
Currituck canal. Postircr bis men (numberine now
but 13) out of sight. Pilot Hopkins stepped forward
and demanded tbe surrender of the steamer. This
of conrse was refused, and a number of guns were
immediately pointed at the “impudent rebel,” whose
men. thoogh unseeo, as quickly brought tbeir puns
to bear upon the vab'ant Yankees. Mr. Hopkins
fired his revolver at the crowd on the boat. This
served to bring down a Yank and to give his men
the signal to fire, which they did, and this ended the
battle. The result of the fire was, two Yankees were
killed, four wounded and the rest surrendered with
the bo«t.
The Confederetes now boarded her and seized all
the valnables they could transport, including three
mail bags coptainintr, amongst other valuable docu
ments. pome ^25.t^OO in oreenbacks. Finding it im
practicable to bring back with them the steamer, on
account of the prepence in the Seund of the enemy’s
gun’'oats. she was pet fire to and consumed, with the
remainder of her contends (valued at upwards of
>20.000) and our gallant little band returned with
the booty and their prisoners—19 whites and 4 ne
groes, tro of the former, however, escaping on the
oute.
A portion of the -nrisoners captured arrived here
yesterday, eV: rmde. for Andersonville. The names
of the commissioned off cers captnr^'d are as follows:
Lieut. Col. J. H. Buren Iland, 16th Connecticut
volunteers. Vaj. Chas. C. Gravee, 1st N. C. Union
volunteers. Lieut. J. M. Wilson, 103d Pennsyl
vania.— Goldshoro' State Journal, 11th,
A Rumor.—There was a mmor yesterday that
Farragut had left.,or was about to leave, Mobile
Bay and bring his fleet to the Atlantic coast to aid
in a combined land and naval attack on Wilmington.
We have no ofScial confirmation of this mmor,

From th« P'Hith Weitt—Cnvt/edera*e Victory in
Arlcanmff—Cmnton. Sept. 16.— Shelley’s victory
in Arkaipas is complete. One entire regiment of
vankeea was captured. The railroad track was tom
up for several miles. [Where this victory occurred
we cannot exactly teH. 1’be last previous accounts
located Pbelley ^'th 6000 men threatening Charles
ton and Cape Girardeau Mispouri.]
The army worm has destroyed all the cotton crops
OP the ri^er from Vicksburg to New Orleans.
The yellow fever is raging very violently at Key
West and Tortuiras.
Gb*n>pa. Miss., via MoBn.c, Bept. 16.—Memphis
papert of tbe 13th say that communication between
Little Rock. Arkansa.o. and Memphis is interrupted.
[Probably t^e result of Shelley’s reported victory.]
From Ifohile.—MoaiLi.Sept. It.—A yankee gun
boat yesterday came close in shore near mouth of
Dog River, (^nr ield batteries opened on her, and
aft^'T a few pood shots the yankees retired.
The y*>nkee F’sh River expedition has returned
badly peppered by our cavalry.
It' fa r«^rflt«d th«1 the enemy have repaired tbe
Gaines [a gnnboa* captured from us in the naval
fiflrht some weeks ago] and put her in 'ommission
of the \orlhfrn Peace Party.—Rich-
won n. Sept. IT —New York ‘dates are to the 13th.
It is stated that preliminary steps have been taken
bv the friends of P. s''o to call a National Democra
tic Convention to nominate candidates for President
and Vice President.
f^ermnn'!^ Barbarou.t Order a genpral one.—
Macon. Sept. l.'i.—The refusre^-s from Atlanta re
port that a creat deal of suffering and f’istress exists
in the city, the general condition of which is repre-
pented «a being terrible. The citizens who come
South are not permitted to brine any household
stuff of any oonsequende, the quantity being very
limited, whilst those who have chosen to go North
carrv what they wish.
We learn that Sherman's order has been extended •
to all the towns and villages in the military occupa
tion of the yankee army. Thus he is determined to
depopulate and desolate the country in his rear.
The people in the villages and towns along the State
Road being thus subjected to the barbarous com
mands of expatriation will soon be in onr midst or
else be sent North, either of which conditions must
be a great calamity to them in the present condition
of the conntry.
This expatriation policy of Sharman merits the con
demnation of civilized nations. It is the very sum
mit of brutality, and rould only have been invented
by a fiend whose soul is stamped with the devil’s own
bideous imaee In it, we see revived the most bar
barous principle of war that has ever disgraced the
most uncivilized nations of earth, together with his
favorite principle, that destruction and annihilation
is the rbject of war. The baroarism is peroetrated
with the cold-hearted purpose and action of^ an exe
cutioner.— Tntelligenrar.
From the VaVry —’The l»test advices from the Valley
of Virginia represent thnt Gen. Early, on Saturday last,
lOtb inst advpuced from his position at Bunker HiH to
wards Martini^bnrg. Tbe place ie in Berkeley connty,
only seven miles south of the nearest ppint on the Poto
mac river. Tbe army under Sheridan, coafironting Gea.
Early, Ip probably nearly as Urge a> that before Petera-
burg. A New York paper st.«te8 that Grant detached
88 or 40,000 men from the Army of the Potomac and
sent them to the Valley, to which must be added the
troops utnler Hunter, Crook, Kelly and Averill. This
immene^ force, so fwr,from being able'to lrive Early out
of the Vajley, has had enough to do in euarding the Po
tomac. in order to prevent onr armv from crossing that
stream. Meanwhile, our troopti have captured over ‘>000
prisoners and inflicted a euocession of punishments upon
tho yankees wbio’n have kept them in a state of whole
some dread. Moebv, ever on tb« alert, has burnt trains
of wagons, captured horses and mules, and ambushed
and killed many of the enemy. Early has no fear of
Sheridan, and the object of his late advance may have
been to oflfer battle, which, indtring from past incidents of
the campaign, will hardly be accepted On the contrary,
we expect to hear of the enemy’s retreat, as usual, to
Harper’s Ferry, and perhaps across the Potomac.
The yankees continue their outrages upon the people
of the Valley, and will doubtless keep them up so long
as they are permitted to remain. They notjjnly bum
private dwellings, but mills and storebousee, and steal or
destroy everything that can snstAin life. They btimt
three mills last Friday night.—Rick , ’SitA.

—On Saturday last, Capt. Thomas 8. Knox, Commissary
at Camp Jackson, formerly of Fredericksbiirp, Va, and
Oco. W Butler, formerly of Norfolk, Va., but recently of
New York, late a teller in the Confederate States’I^a-
sury Department, lett this city, and, it is reported, have
gone North. Since their suJdeu dcpartur» ilrhas been as
certained that Knox is a defaulter to the extent of $3^0,-
Oi'iO of Government funds, which he converted into ster
[ linsc exchange through t*’e negotiations of ex teller
Butler, at Sutton t Co.’s banking house Knox obtained
a pr.ssp.'rt at tlin J*rovo“t Marshal's office upon his per-
so- al repreeeiitntion that he bad a blind brother he wish
ed to convoy to FredericksBurg. Butler, it is said, acted
as the blind brother.—Rich. l>'$; ateh.
