LIMITS UfON MOULTRIE AND'
SUMTER.
A, telegram iaji that ligkU. are toon
to b kiadled a Sumter and Moultrie.
Are these forte not ablaze with light
mow f A death illumination glared out
Irom behind the palmetto ramparts of
Id Moultrie i a old rerolntieuary days.
The halo that surrouadt the Memory of
the '7 heroes, enoireles this Southern
fort. The bale-fires of rebellion have of
-lafw rendered lurid its walls ; auJ, as
these reddened beneath the dames of the
artillery that thundered against Sumter,
we have felt that it urae Moultrio bias a -img
because it was compelled to open up
a a Federal stronghold. And when the
last Johoaie withdrew his foot froia this
time-honored defense, it must hare expe
rienced aa iaezpressihle relief. Moultrie
agaia shines forth with a loyal light as
sueli, her beams will onee more, and al
ways stream out ovor the world. In a
historic sense, she asks ao other. riHuiui
aatian than that which reflects from the
star-spangled baaner which wares ever
her reclaimed walls.
Flace a light upoa Sainter I She is
too luminous from her record. Ve caa
see her now brought oaf ia loyal relief '
against ike glare of Beauregard's bom
bardment. Sumter will never be dark
while the nanie of Lincoln and Anderson
are remembered. She glowed from the
fire of her rudely placed cannon, when
they were aimed by loyal hands. Her
light was awful as she burned from the
toueh of the hell-hot balls of rebellion
Again she shone out over the waters of
Charlestea harbor, and out over the waves
of the Atlantis, when Southern guns
belbhed forth their flames and missiles
agaiast the beseiging foe. But this
work and shining, Tike that of Moultrie,
was from compulsion . Sumter has been
redeemed from traitor thraldom. The
flag that was hauled down in misfortune
has agaia been rua aloft in hoaer from'
her crumbling battlements.
Sumter is scarred and seamed by the
myriad blows of friend and foe : but does
any one think that a flame need be kin
kled tfpon her walls that she may be seen
by the world. To every Union child
Summer is a luminous point: She shines
out from the dark depths of treason in
loyal glory. From the farthest corner of
our land the weakest eye can trace- the
illumined walls of that brave aad batter
ed rampart.- And, when men read his
tory in, generations to come, they will
linger upon the-story of its defense and
capitulation ; anoW-ejeice in heart when
they reach that part of the chronicle that
tells of the fortress won again that tells
of her once more ringing beneath the
tread of .Union feet7 and of her bearing
aloft from her brow again, and-forever,
the emblep- of .
"The Land of the Free, and theHomeof the Brave."
Sumter and . Moultrie may become lu
minous guides to mariners from caleium
lights ; tut if these -are never kindled,
the memory" of thesa strong.) olds will
shine while treason is hated add liberty
is lored. Indi&nQliQlM JoamZ
VOL VI. RALEIGH, TUESDAY, APRIL
THE DAILY STANDARD.
Mr: ifoldctr lssfe"ilr thoHirft nurubor of the
Daily Standard yesterday morning. The Stan
dard is right now and. Las been right all the
time la hi$ loader of yeslorday the Editor
says : ; -
The revolution his failed. Mr. Lincoln -has
made good his deelaratiou that he would "hold,
occupy, ami possess" the forts aud other propei
ty of the United States, and that he would en
force the laws of tho natiou. The Southern
people must either resume their duties aa citi
zens of rlio Uuited States, or prepare for a con
dition, to be indefinitely prolonged, of subjuga
tion by federal anus The uiostultr secession
ist must uow see that further resistance would
be folly, madness, lunnler. Our whole peoplo
lift up their 'arms and ask for peace, hut there
can bd no. peace uniil the nationul authority is
everywhere acknowledged. Tho soomar this au
thority is acknowledged the better; ut our pci
plo are not. willing to tru.il the secession leaders
or their allies in this bu-itiis, and they expect, .
and confidently hope that tk.ir own public wen,
identified with them in sympathy and priiioiple,
and endeared to them by the trials and sufferings
of the past, shall he called to administer the Laws
nud to re-cstaldh and maintain tho national au
thority. TTio present State government, tspe-
eially so far as the Legislature and Go-ven or are
ooticerncd, does witYrlir.i t the winheil or the will
of our ptople. It is well knowu that the Gover
nor was elected by force and fraud, and that,
while many, und indeed nearly a majority ef the
members of the Legislature are good and true
men, yet the same fora and fraud prevailed to a
greater or loss extent fn the ( lections for tJie
Legislature. F r two years past our people have
not beeu free. Patronage and tho bayonet have
controlled everything But leaving this ojjt of
view, if it Ln true that all that ha been done
duiiug this revolution is null and void, how can
this be cured, and how cbu the popular confi
dence bo secured to the authors of this bogus
legislation 1 By a return by them to Jieir alle
giance? Will Ao inspire popuhr ciUlenco?
But we will nt dilate upon thft point, as we
lack spa.;e to-day to olabonifo it. We simply
wish to say that a vast majority of our people
drsire a wn and free hearing at the. pollt, and
rrpreienUitivet in all d'partitbents at home nnd nt
Wuuhiiigttih who will re-ally and truly riflrct the i r
ueHtineuU. It is not for us to say h&w this is to
be accomplished, bill "where thcrs is a will there
is a way," and that 'way may have precedent and
the acknowledged rules ef war to sanction it.
Gov. Vance by his flight from the capital, and
his dnlay to return to it after ho has been assured, ;
ai w r authnrjged to stale by Gen. Sherman,
that he, and his associate jjjtato officers, and the
Legislature itself will be protected if he will re
turn, has abdieftecf flk government iu North
Cwolina, and if lie persists in ubsentin himself'
from the onpital, be cannot coufplaiu u.t the in
auguration of such steps as may be necessary to
adtriiDistc the laws and protest the people.
All we ask is that the peotle be lieard dn iwco.
Let the new order of things lier die full stamp
of the popular will and the popular confidence.
Nething lots; it perms to us-, can quiet disaffec
tion, restore e nfidenoe, ereato harmony," and put
our people once more ou the high roi'1, under
the old flag, to tlie full enjoyment of all that
prosperity and happiness which they lost by tho
forced eecesfcion of tU State. V offer these
suggestions with much deference for the yews of
others, butiu justica t ourselves aud our friend:)
wc could, not have said less.

The journey here is a very pleasant one. A
pereou has at least one chance out of ten of not
getting scalped by the Indians; one out of
twenty-fve of not getting all his horses and pro
visions " cuhGscatcd " by the same industrious
mar. uders, and having to foot it a few hundred
miles without anything lo cat but Buffalo grass
and jour old bools ; and not ocr half of the
voyagers get frozen to death in the mountains,

volver sou nowic-kutic ; a method wliicu has a
great many advantages over the nlffSftes beiug
far more speedy and certain and a great saving
of time, oost and expense. The people here are
very strict in the observance of the Sabbath';
there beinff no churches here, however, they
spenil (lie day iu diinjfiug whiskey, horse racing, '
playing poker and cock-fighting, with an occa

up showers of prk and beans, hain aud eggs,

of sugar house molasses running through this

a column of turtle soini thirty feet high. There

THE AMERICAN CONSULATE AT
MATA MORAS.
Fiwu the .VeW.'Orli-aui Tmi Delta, f'ebruarjr 26.
By a late arrival from M.ntnmoras, we learn
some of the particulars that led to tho closing
of the Uuited Stales Consulate of that place.
Prior to the first of December, 1864, Mr. L.
Pierce was the accredited oou'ttoercial agent of
the United Slut, s resident in Mataiuorus, He
has obtained his exequatcr fiuni Juirez, and his
oliieial position has been recognized by (ha im
perial povci nmoiit as having been established
prior to tho new regime. But it appears that
mi the first of .December last, our Government
sent out Mr. Eicbison as Consul. Mr. Pierce
endeavored to ai-t the new Consul in procu
ring the necenary official recognition to enable
him to perform the duties of his offiee. Appli--ca'iui;
w.-is m .d.; to (jrucrul Mejia fir permission
lo net, by Mr. Eieliison, unli! bis txequatur
c.uild be obtained from Mexico. Mejia prompt
ly .'rented "the ivqUest, but the Prefect, who re
ports directly to the HeCreiary of State, refused
This functionary informed the Consul that mo
recognit;ou of any of Mr. Etchisou's acts could
b had Outil he received his exequatcr.
He then wrote to the Secretary of State, at
the City of Mexico, a statement of the case, ana
received in reply an order to direct that the
liiitld States consulate at Matamoras be (dosed
at once. This letter was received on (lie day
the news of the capture of Fort Fisher reached
Matarnoros. . In honor of the event the United
Stites fl ig was displayed from tho offiee. Tl.c
prefect, with. morn consideration than oould
bnvc been 'exported tindg the" ciicumstanoes,
postponed sending official notico to close up un
til afrer sunset, when he knew the flag would bo
taken down of course, In the evening, howev
er, the order came, news of which spread rapidly
throughout the town, and caused Mr. Pierce's
house to bo besi d by n crowd of anxious cit
izens of (lie United States, who still regarded
him as possessed of some pow,cr am! influence.
The papers and records of J-be office wore packed
up, and removed to Mr. Pierce's bouso, and the
office left closed.
Miv Pterefr rcftM.TTmoraron the - Jfjth , with ;
tho intention of returning soun r or soum time
previous to leaving Mexico Mr. Pierco had been
engngod in officiate .ure-pondenco with General
Mejia, on the subject ol delivering up alleged
fugitives to the rebel authorities at Brownsville.
In reply to protests against this practice the
General answered tlmt he only order, d tho. re
turn of those guilty of some crime of magni
tude, and that his was done unJor an extradi
tion treaty. While, ltowever, tbis was the
avowed theory, the practice went far beyond aud
included tho doliyry up of anybody wautcd by
the it dels. There is, of coui.se, no difficulty ia
truin, ing up a pbargc to prefer against any one,
and as there is no trlffur' examination, cjeept
to t; ke the fugitive before the chief alcalde, and
rmiku a formal .loinawl and identify the person,
it opens the door to the rebels to dr;i from the
friendly ami neutral shores of Mexico apy ono
wLu may be Ihoulit .0 be, Lnsiilc to the Confed
erate c'ttfe. or w'jo may '. c useful as a conscript.
lUfvas offiHMly given out, -howerrjr, that fu
gitive slaves were unt surrendered. Tuere i

Brownsville rebels nud their sympathizers ia
Matamoras to complicate, tho re'a.ions existing

bring the weiglit .of that power to bear on tho
teficl side iu (he great, contest that haJ been
waged four years, and with results so unexpec
ted nud disheartening to the rebels. Tho refu
sal of our Government to recognize Maximilian
is artfully used by public enemies in thjscoiiutry
to serve their ends, and stir up a feeling of re
sentment againfct this country in Mexico. This
appears.to be the cause oT all tho difficulty.
