DAILY frRtiGRESSv
RALEIGH, IT. C.
TUESDAY, NOV. 18, 186
.. The presence of a large fleet in Garnet River goes to
,' confirm our hitherto expressed impression- that an
t ftftrfliifiirSCld bo made to take
I Richmond at m early day. - The advance upon Rich-
: rnond this time, under Burnside, will be made by not
lea than 600,000 men, and all the power of our gov
ernmcntattd armies must b exerted or Richmond
fell -.That It l the purpose too of the enemy . to
advance Upon Wetdon or Goldsboro'.or both at the
.same tfane, we have not the slightest cVubt, Tor in
that way they expect to divide and street our force
and thus weaken us at the main pdiot which tbey
Wish to secure. If Richmond falls, our cause if not
liopeleesly lost will be greatly endangered, and it
should be defended as long as there is a man left to
fire a gun from behind its battered walls.
Nothing can be plainer than that one great effort
with an immense force is to be lnitlle to' reduce our
capital. The change of commanders, the declared dc-
termination of the rulers at Washington that the army
thai! advance In Virgiuia at all hazards, and the
' presence of a powerful fleet In James River all point
to this. 'Lincoln and Seward begin to realize that
Richmond most betaken or tbe war, stopped, fpr
tlicir people prove more and mora clamorous every
ilay for a ''suppression of the rebellion" or a cesea
- tiou of hostilities, and if they cannot restore the
. Union by whipping In the South they must say to us,
'wayward sisters, go la .peace." There can" bo no
doubt about the sentiment of the people at the North
In this respect the ' great mass -of them want peaco,
. . and Old Ab begins to feel tho pressure, and knows
that he must either fight out or back out. ,
Our aulhoritie at Richmond are of coarse aware of
theangcr that threaten and are making every pos-
aibhj preparation to meet the great blow, and mean-
time we would Urge alt who hare shoes, blankets or
clothing of any kind Intended for the army to fbnejard
-' then Quickly. The bitter Cold -of wi Jter-i at hand
and the heroic men who stand as a wall of lire between
uk end the Vandal foe must be cared for. - We are' on
$ . the eveof theVtee struggle of the' war, and if our
amis, nnder God, prove again victorious, it will do
i more to end the wr tban a thousaud rnmors of rocog
, nition and all the democratic victories that bare or
will take place in the North. Let our troops be ral
5 lied to the exposed points and lot the old veterans and
ir the new levies that are now advancing under Burn
eide be burled back; upon Washington defeated, dis
organised and disgraced,' and then we may begin to
look abend for peace ) bat as long as we can claim
nothing better than drawn battles or partial successes
the war wilt most probably continue. We shall soon
know the worst as to Richmond, for the attack will
not be delayed long, if w are to judge anything from
the movements of the enemy;
' ' "TiW ' v , -
SALT5-Much has been said and much more will
' v be said, on the subject of supplying the people with
art, and tho Legislature is looked to by the people
. to take some action in the matter. But really we do
not see that the assembly can do much in the way ol
" salt other than by defending the coast so that its man
ufacture may continue. Thousands of bushels a day
- ere being made along the coast in tho neighboihood
.of Wilmington and the best way we know of to sup-
. ply the people with salt Is to defend Wilmington..
i This we hope will be successfully done, but we should
" remember that the Government at Richmond, with
- the best intentions end the greatest activity, cannot
defend every place, nor should it be expected to do so,
and hence the people in North Carolina' who want
' ealt must look, to. tRe Legislature for an organization
i for the better protection of. the region of country
, where salt is made. We doubt not but the Assembly
wiU do all It can In the matter.

Th Btern Logic f Events A Prophecy.
We republish from? the Bangor (Mo.) Dento
crat f May, 1861, the following jremarkably
prophctio artlcle--remarkablo as much for the
latitude from which it came is well aa for what it.
The rapid (ulfillment of nil the predictions of
Loacr6tie epe&bevs and wstess, as-tfr wiiat wafet
take place in our beloved Country in the event of
a sectional triumph in tb.4 election of a President
need not to be attributed to any gift of prophecy ;
it Is Jtho result of the stern logic ot events.
Poorly tead in the history of Government, and a
poor student of human nature, must -he be. who,
in the face of the warfare which the black Kepubli
can party has been for years waging upon the in
stitutions of the South, could not have foretold,
the disruption of thr Union, 'and the disasters
that might attend that disruption. ' .
New that we have entered upon civil war, let
those who would read the story of the future ap
peal to that same stern logic of events." ..What
does it teach ? We speak by its instructions.
It teaches that if Abraham Lincoln shall per
sist in attempting to carry out the policy indica
ted in his reply to the Virginia Commissioners,
the fifteen slave States, numbering more than 12,
000,000 of people, wilf unite in a common cause
of defending their firesides and homes7
It teaehes that every man within their limits,
capable of wielding a sword or leveling a jifle,
will take the field, determined, like thoir revolu
tionary fathers of old, to repel the invader or
die in the attempt.
It teaches that, sooner or later, the fate of ev
ery Northern army sent within their borders will
inevitably be tbat which overtook j those of tbe
British tyrant which were landed on our .coast to
rivet on our forefathers the chains of slavery.-
It teaches that the armies of the North may
meet with occasional triumph may burn a few
cities and devastate a few fields u may rob the
Southern mother and her tender children of their
peaceful and quiet homes ; may here and there
incite servile insurrections ; but successes like
those wiU only provoke the wrath of Ileavon, .and
raise np for the South 4 'armies to fight their battles
for them."
It teaches that at last, after one, three, seven,
or ten years' shall have passed away; After our
enemies shall have vanished before tjnc never-failing
aim of tho Sonthorn rifle, the irresistible
charges of Southern cavalry, and the terrible
ravages of a Southern climate ; after myriads of
Northern homes have been made desolate, and
poverty and distress shall begin to stalk abroad
in the streets of our cities and villages, then the
hearts of our people will yearn for peace and peace
will come.
It teaches that the independence of the Con
federate States will be recognised, and that the
North will be compelled at last to grant tbat
which, in accordance with the spirit of American
liberty, it Bhould promptly and cheerfully con
cede. Such are the teachings of the ,4stern logic of
evente." We put them upon record, and iuvite
all who read this article to remember predictions
founded upon them '. The autfiority'of the-Federal
Government will never again lie established
within the limits of the seceded States. The peo
ple of those States will never again rccogui?e
that authority voluntarily, nor can they be com
pelled to do so by force.

The Yankees . ano the Stoles Negroes. A
Washington correspoudentof the New York Express
gives a small picture of the unfortunate negroes ".who
have been forced or lured to quit the protection of
their masters and the comforts of their homes. The
doom of these poor creatures, here foreshadowed only,
is truly deplorable. The writer says : -
Now that the weather is growing cool, tho question
naturally arises, what is to be done with the numer
ous contrabands in Washington aird vicinity! Will
the poor wretches be permitted to starve or freeze to
'death, or will the government undertake to support
and provide for them ? Their present condition, even
before colt! weather has set in, Is miserable and abject
In the extreme. What it ia likely to be a cotiple of
months hence, is not difficult to imagine. Hundreds
of the contrabands here have had already quite enough
of liberty and abolition philanthropy. They would
gladly return to tlicir masters and mistresses, hut
tueyha6 no power to do so, and, Indeed, are not
permitted any opportunity to carry such desire into
effect.
This morning a stout, negro, rigged up in east off
army clothing, canio to a door where I was. standing,
and e. reated to be given a "job" ny thing, by

. The removal of McClellan lias brought things tea
fever heat In Pennsylvania.' The Philadelphia '-'
Mafihit at Camp Curtin the prticipaj Oamp of the
drafted me of thev Keystone " State, Says :
The state of feeling at- Camp Curtin Is nnsettlerf, so"
far as-the drafted men are eonoafaed..,.; Tho objections
to going into the old regiments ate persisted in, while
ti e idea of giving np their Company organizations is
regarded as an act of tyranny. 1 is in Contemplation
to test the matter legally. The purpose is to bring a
case Vfore a court, and test wbetlwr the men drafted
can jjim the provision and protection pf the State
law under which they were called into service,'or
whether the officers now in theservice can force he
drafted men in the old regiments... This would be a J
proper ami safe means of aetlling what is really a
a grave difference. jm'
The.duty of the Provost-; Guard at present is of
character at once onerous and dangerous. They o
Cupy a position which is not fairly understood by the
nieu in Camp Curtin, witrfc iwhom a (difficulty, exists
as to their disposal in companies and regiments. The
Provost guard are bound to execute their orders.
They are soldiers who know-notliiog but obedieuca
and it is hoped tbat ,the drafted men will not tempt
the Provost guard into what might seem ta be, It not ,
actually become, bloody forCo vOn 'the.njght of the
6th, the guard, while on duty.Vere very badly treat
ed by the men in Camp Curtin. . They were assailed
with stones, thrown by men concealed behind tents,
and otherwise rudely attacked by the drafted men.
Iusuliordination of this kind is disgraceful to the
guilty.
Siuce the difference and dissattsfacUon among the
drafted men, large numbers have deserted, autt the
purpose to do so is also avowed 4y still larger mm
bers of the men now . in Camp Curtin. Every hour
adds to the embarrassment,, Ou the 0th lnt., one of
the men, in attempt nig to brcah the guard, was shot
in the leg, and severely if not dangerously wounded.

The report of tho Harper' Ferry Commission is
publixbed. Gen. White md Cols. D'Ubassy and
Trimble ase acquitted of all blame, and the rapacity
audom-age of the fWmer is praised. Col. Mile and
Gens. Woolf ml McClellan, however, are freely cen
sured Col. Miles for neglecting to fortify Maryland
Heights; Gen. Wool, for putting Col. Miles in com
mand j and Gen. McClellan, for not sending Colonel
MtlS reinforcements, or making any effort to send
him any. The Commission also say that McClellan
only marched six miles a day- wheu pursuing the in-
vading enemy, and they further say that Gen McC.
could and should have relieved and protected Harper's
Ferry. Gen. Hafleck, Conimander-iu-Chiof, testified
to this effect before the Commission.
AFFAIRS IS WASHTXGTQN.
A dispatch from Washington contains the follow
ing wholesale denials:
The ageat of the associated press Inquired at the
State Department to-day about the current state
ments of Mr. Seward's having been cousulted by Mr.
Iluchanau in the closing period of his administration.
Also, about startling hostile announcements having
been made by'Mr. Slercier to the Secretory of State,
-and-. about protracted aud adjourned and anxious
meetings of the'Cibinet, involriog serious military
and Cabinet changes. The Secretary simply replied
to the inquiry that the alleged consultations between
himself and.Mr. Buchanan were linagiuary. The re
ported propositions of Mr. Merrier wcreapocliryphal,
and the alleged Cabinet meetings fabulous.
FEDERAL ACCOUNT OF THE RAID IXTO FFEDERICKS
BUUO. The Northern papers of the 12th, notice the morti
fying affair at FreiU'ricEsburg. 1'hey say they crossed
the river with fifty-four men, lost one killed and one
wounded, and captured thirty-four prisoners, of which
they paroled six. They regard it as the greatest dash
of the war. They represent our force there to have
been 500 men at the time. They also mentioned the
capture of the cloth.
MISCELLASEOrS.
The hospitals in Washington are being cleared of
the convalescents with all possible dispatch. In all,
about 'three thousand soldiers have joined Gen. Mc
Clellan's army fr.rtn the camp of the convalescents.
Very considerable numbers of invalid soldiers have
been allowed to go home latterly,, in order, as it is
supposed, to have more hospital room in Washington
in case a great battle should come off in front.
Major-General Hunter has been assigued to the De
partment of the Carolina, and wilt leave in a few
days for his post. He has slioceedcd, says the North

The House of pommons was called to order at i
past 19 o'clock, by James H. Moore, Esq., principal
Clerk of the last House. - -
The roll of Counties was called in alphabetical or
der, and the members presented their certificates, after
which the oath required were edmmistered by Wm.
Thompson, Esq., one of tbe justices for the County
of Wake, . . V .,,
Mr. Cowlos stated the membcra elect from the
County of Wilke were present, and that they bad
mislaid their certificates ; that they had been elected
by large majorities, indeed had no regular opposition.
On motion of Mr. Amis, they were allowed to reg
ister their names, were qualified and took Unseats.
A similar statement was made relative to the members
from Burke, and like proceeding were bad. '
Mr. Fowl called the attention 'of the House to the
fact that Mr. Spruill from Tyrrell was present, and
that owiug to the fact that the enemy were in posses
sion of the County last eunfmcr, there had been no
election held in the County, but that Mr. Spruill bad
received the nnanimou vote of a company of Volun
teers, out of the County, at an. election held lu accor
dance with an act passed by the Convention. That
t lie sane causes that , had prevestcd the election in
the county had prevented the member elect from
procuring the certificate of the Sheriff, lie however
held a certificate fromtli parties boldlngtlie polls in
the company, setting forth the facts of bis having re
ceived the vote of the wune. He therefore moved
'that Mr. Spruill be allowed to qualify and take his
scat.
Mr. Terson said that be had not bad an op portunify
of examining the Law as passed by the Convention
on the subject but he bad heard the opinion expressed
by those wboeo opinions were entitled to great weight,
that the act of the Owvention" did not reach quire" so
fni as to permit such an election as this to hold. He
preferred to deliberate on this matter for fear, of
establishing a bad precedent. Ho moved that the
matter be referred to a select Committee to report as
soon as practicable.
Messrs. Amis arid Fowls both opposed the doliyr
and argued to show that it waa not the purpose of
tho Convention to disfranchise the people of the
county merely because they were unable to vote in
the presence of tbe enemy who bad possession of their
homes.
Tho question was then put by the clerk on the mo
tion to refer, and lost. The qestion recurring on Hie
original motion, was then put and. earried, and Mr.
Spruill, waa qualified and took bis seat. .
The Clerk then announced that the next business
in order, was the election of Speaker.
Mr. Burgin, nominated Hon. R, B. Gilliam, of

constituting the i ,DoZy Progrtti .establishment, aa
well as all other property that l .ppesesacd by tbat
disaster, the publication of the paper, under my

so be remembered by the patrons of tbe paper and
the publie that I published a Curd In the press of
the Mate a few days after the suspension, at New
iiera promising to start the paper at some eligible
point'as soon as the necessary arrangements eould he
oade to do so, but a combination of ub favorable cir
cumstances have prevented my doiug 'So ontil the

bad health and in the army, and being prostrated for
several months I could do nothing towards reviving
,tbe'laperi In,Ju'yi however, I resigned my position

Promises as to what course the freyrete will pur

My arrangement for publication in the City of
Raleigh, are, of.conrse, not permanent: for when the
war is over, or the eucmy effectually driven out of
Newbarn, I shall return, with other wanderers, to my
home, to labor Again for and among a people that
have done more for me than any other, and to whom
I am affectionately attached by the most Intimate
social and businss ties. Tlie publication of the
I'rdgteto will be continued here, probably, until the
war is over, provided the Yankee do not again com
pel us to " change our lmse and I prumixe the pub
lie to exert whatever of talent and energy I possess to
make it worthy of tlie approbation and patronage of '
tho intelligence and rvfiiymcnt of the Metropolis and
the people of the whole State.
As to the nalne of the paper, I fhiuk whatever of
reputation or value that attaches "to it is mine, and I
shall not surrender it. Tlie enemy have stolen and
appropriated my presses, type, &e., but they cannot
steal the name of tbe paper. The' ' Alswocrn Daily
Protjrt$," that they issue, is a bogus, illegitimate
concern, and Till Daily PbOqreks, issued by the
original founder and proprietor, is the real and legitl-
mate journal. ' , - -
The Telegraphic and other " arrangements which I
have made, and shall make, will render the Pro

and I solid; the scrutiny, criticism, add patronayt
