Sir At a meeting of the officers from
North Carolina confined io this prison, yes
terdaj, wt, the uojrfersigued, were appoint-
- ed a ooowuiUe loexpress to you the in
tense satisfaction with which we hare
marked the distinguished ability and lofty
patriotism which they have characterised
your administration. It has been "with
peculiar pride during this our long and
tedious imprisonment, that every wind that
bas brought to our ear a whisper from the j
land pf oar birth and' of our unchangable. j
lore, we bare, heard the utterance of our
own seatim nts, Uia echo of our prayers,
of er highest hopes and purest pira
lions ia the manly aod pa&riolia language
of the Governor of our State. Exiles from
our homes and country, captives in the
land of those wbo bate and would destroy
lis, we watr-b with- anxious concern the
progress of events and tbe course of the
war, and -note with - tramingled pleasure
the manifestations of ardent patriotism and
unyielding firmness among the masses of
Use people of our own State. But, sir, it is
with more than ordinary pleasure that we
rerlrt to your late nob! effort at Wilke
boro', so genuine in its arguments, and
'withal so hopeful aud6on6dent of success,
lhaafevery son of the old State felt a glow
of pride in the reflection that these grand
Utterances emanated from bis own honor
ed chief magistrate. Sir, your exposition
of tbe policy of the Federal Government,
your alartliog. portraiture of the miseries
that would be endured by our onhappy
country, andflbe oppression and indigni
ties that would be heaped upon her in case
of submission,. are so forcibly verified by
tbe action of tbe dominant party in this
country, that no reasoning man, enjoying
at w do. tbe unlimited access to the lead
, ing journals of all political parties here, cau
fail to realise tbe fact, that even the most
' appalling apprehensions of misery th.it
- hare presented themselves to the minds of
our tuost sagacious statesmen, even tbe
most hideous: pictures of ruin that have
been painted by our most eloquent coun
trymen, would falHar shorrof the realities
of tbe tioom that would await or? should
we be ao demented as to lay down those
' orrb aod disband those armies, that have
hitherto protected n from tbe fury of our
enemies. Those who delude themselves
wilb the hope, that theie ia still a Conser-
' rati re party 'here sufficiently strong to re
store mem again even to loose precarious
right they enjoyed before the disruption
pf tbe .union, are indahng A rain, a dan
eerooa hope.
We bare it daily manifested to us here,
(bat thW" party is utterly powerless to pro
tect ka own right and liberties from the
aggressions of, the dominant party. Their
danger is more imminent tban ours, and
iheir only hope or deliverance is in tbe
triumph of oar cause; they grow weaker
wilb every defeat of ours; Ibey grow ttroag
or wilb every soccese. At present they are
writhing io belplees wretchedness. Tbe
One great idea of tbe people of this eoun
try, is to subjugate ibe people of tbe South,
acd to appropriate our property to tbe I
nidation of-their stupendous dsbt: and
the dominant party is stronger or weaker,
as tbe prospect of success ts neareror more
remote.
Lt ear - peoplr. br any events either
through aubmissiou or subjugation, be
thrown on lb mercy of thie nation, aod
ine great plan win bare been .consumma
ted and their suecoss will "have" ensured
ibe perpetuity of to uepuwtean party.
What policy that party would pursue in
the cererament of our eooatrr. is but too
plainly -manifested already. We gather it
daily from their Congressional action, from
tbejr' party eoaveolioos, from ,lbir lead
iagjooraad. We bear it from their own
Hps. Tbat policy would be so to bumili
ate the Soatb, ao 'to cripple her resources,
ao Ut dwm her, e to crush her spirit, so
to ooeoch her hopes, that oerer within her
wide borders shall ereo a whisper be beard
Ia claim of freedom. They stedare that
tbi war rnest be waged, sot only until the
gated, tut ll.aUit must la prosecuted, un
til the possibility of its recurrence is for
ever gone. To accomplish1 this design,
ibey declare that it. is both the right and
the duty of Congress to confiscate tbe pro
perty of our people, both real and person'
J, and apportion it among their soldiers
and freedmeu our slaves, whom they
bar stolen and liberated. -They propose
to take too arms from the whites and put
them ia tbe. bands of the blacks: they
propose to extend the right of 'suffrage to
tbe blacks,' while among the white it ii be
restricted loatbos who have been hostile
to their country througtiourTii "war. In
short, io their blind, vindictive rage, they
would make of our country one vast ruin,
aOidUVihal faxrfdo04uWjh CMUOg
agee of mankind it may stand as a ghastly
warning to deter the rash ptript,J that
would claiin freedom as a birthright or
republican government as a heritage.
War may cover the Ubd with sorrow
end mourning ; but peace, on. the terme
of - submission, would cover it with the
blackness of the shadow of death. War
bas alill the blessing of hope ; but in such
a peace tbere is only, the darkness of dee
nair. Io such a state of existence, the or

would1 be tbe king, of terrors, and death its

THE IRON CLAD RALEIGH AT SEA.
.Fokt Fishsb, May 7th, 186.
The monotony of garrison life has been
disturbed by an act of gallantry on the
part of our navy. List evening tbe iron
clad Raleigh, Lieut,' Pembroke Jones com
manding, bearing the broad pennant of
flag officer Lynch, steamed out of New
Tnlet in quest of the enemy. Not long
after leaving tha bar the Raleigh lot a
blockader cruising about, and gave her a
7 iuch shot crashing through her ides ;
tbe Federal vesel being unused to such an
.encounter immediately left. Junking signals
to the fleet. The iron clad continued her
cruise Until after midnight, when an un
suspecting blockader taking her for a block
ade runner, fired a shot and ran to pick up a
prize, but instead of receiving tbe surren
der of an unarmed Anglo rebel, Jonathan
was complimented by a ball llial as more
surprising than agreeable Thinking in
his wonder that he had been fired on by
que of the squadron through mistake, the
blockader displayed the uiu.il signal of h
bright blue light, when the Raleigh bing
very near, sent a rifle shell whistling
through her bulwarks. The Yankee tdous
ed his glim" with unexampled alacrity.
Very soon the red and blue signals of the
enemy were seen flashing in different di
rections, giving the alarm to each other.
f Nothing more was seen or heard during-
the nigut, and we wbo awaited tbe result
on the ramparts of Fort Fisher were reliev
ed when the dawn commenced to roll the
curtain from tbe scene. Daylight first
disclosed the small steamers adkin and
Eqoator about two miles from shore
awaiting the orders of -the Raleigh, which
they accompanied over the bar. Soon the
horizon was clear and we discovered the
iron-clad eight miles to sea, in quiet pos
session of tbe blockade anchorage.. Soon
after the bioctaders that bad run on Ux
sea appeared in tbe horizon, and the little
black dots developed themselves into gun
boil.
First, came two well io view, and one
approaching within range of the Rileigli
greetetr by a snot ; a long ta"j eDgHge-
ood Wockader joined; bul the enemy were
soon snniciently amused and ran off, git-
inir Ine rut umcer a WKle oertn. six
sail now appeared, bu only one, bad the
temerity to exchange shots with Ibe iron
clad, and she soon decamped beyond range.
Aboil six o clock eight blockader came
ia aiirht, but notwitbstandinz tbe Raleigh
steamed defiantly around their anchorage,
eight miles from- tbe guns of Fort Fisher,
not one dared to take no tbe gauntlet.
At 7 ocJock, the nag urhcer wisbin? jto

CLOTHING.
The Progrtit indulges in a ridiculous
attempt to make il appear that the troops
from this State have not been properly
clad, and insinuates that' Governor shoe
lias ln negligent in tbat particular. We
simply desire to state a few facts, so that
the people may form some idea of the ces-
paralton-of those who favor tbe eleCtiou of
Mr. llolden.
I. Thiroodi r tin ported from EoglaBuT
have been of tbe very best material.
2. More than enough clothing and shoes
have been turned over to the Confederacy
to fill the requisitions of every Quarter
maslet from this State io lb service.
3. The fact that North Carolwa soldiers
are better clad and shod than those from
other Slates, hsspiqducedTduclrdsc6n
tent and dissatisfaction among the lifter,
as to induce the Quartermaiter General to
propose to lake the clulliitig contract from j
the hands of our State MiiihOritie, to that j
all the troops in the service may be placed
upon tbe same footing The Governors of
Virginia and Georgia are making prepara
tions to import supplies for their, troops,
so as to imitate atlie example .f North
Carolina in furnishing proper clothing for
her soldiers. r
' 4. During Gov. Vance' visit (o the ar
my be received the thankl of every Gen
eral, from Lee down, for 'the manner in
which be(had clothed the North Carolina
troops.
6. State officials are not dad in tbe

quality. Tbey were not even allowed to
purchase that until enoogJi had been im
ported for the wants of all in the field.

statement that our soldier bar been poof

much truth in it a tbe assertion that the

UtchanicJ SkSl at tht Prwoa. Under
the Suporintendance of Capt. S. Galloway,
rVtinmandant of the Confederate prison at
this place, be convicts are turning out some
excellent arUcles of utility. We have ou our
table two wooden bowl of Uieir.production,
which are really elegant in shape and supe
rior in workmanship. Capt. S. is now furnish
ing tbe prison and guard bouse with these
bowls, which will doubtless add considerably
to lh cumfort of tSie men.
Would lheGovMfnmVnt furnish the tools
an materials reqowrte,- the convicts in this
eooM be put to work in several other
important braoclies of business. We believe
it might be inaJo"almoit a self'-sueta'iiiing m-
stitution. At any rate, the Government could
certainly derive considerable remuneration in
horse-slto9, wajtons, ambulance, Ac" for tbe
use of the army by the labor of the prison
ers under sentence ; and as it would condujc
lo their health to give them employment, we
can Si.e no good reason why it should not be
done. " .

ajidlo,JbjE eflorlJs renewed in. a different
shape. They are now trying to array tle
poor against the rich, and the non-slaveholder

but wkUo it labors to array on class of our
