Remarks'of Bufas Bamnger,- Esq. . The following is the substance of the remarks of; Rufus Bamnger, Esq., at a meeting in Concord, an the 20th inst Mr. Bamnger w one of tne men ior the times. The State can command bis talents, his time, his means and his life. fThis the hour in which to prove men c Mr. Barringer after reciting the condition ot anairs at Washington, in Virginia and Maryland, and in the middle aDd eastern parts of the) State, went on to say . that lie hoped the people ot i ijaoarrus, mveiHgcui,, prompt and public spintea, wouia uo nic duty in the present crisis. All who were aoie io ngni should be prepared to ao so. au uu nc with abundance, should be ready and willing to con-, tribute in aid of the State, in supporting her forces. We at last see the whxle North united against us. This had been predicted years ago. It was now painfully true. Those not already and long since abolitionized, were at once crushed under the iron 1,1 nf blark republican rule. Talk of the free .North! frte-soil, a free-press and a free-speech ! A "friend. from Npw York had just described to Mr. r., a mob of 5000 Republicans, on ittonaay ine ioui inst., marching from house to house, threatening theL rights of property, the freedom of the press, the liberty of speech; and the lives of helpless women and children 1 The most ultra and most confiding Union roan must how admit that Mr. Lincoln has. been guilty of the very basest treachery and false-' hood, that a wild, cowardly fanaticism (bold only in numbers) rules the entire North1. Trembling in their shoes and dreading the . united South, they shelter themselves beneath 'the forms of the Constitution and seek to-turn the whole power and patronage of the Government against the South. The sword of a broken Constitution and the chains of a military des potism aresuspended over us, the army which we have helped to establish;' the navy which we have helped to birild; and the treasury which we had helped to fill, have all been turned against us by a fanatical Government, indiscriminately crushing its friends and foes. We have no alternative but to fight: and as Chief Justice Ruffin remarked the other day in the streets of Raleigh,-"We must fight-to the death the bloodier the fight the quicker peace." We .must let the North see that the South will baptise the whole country in blood, rather than 'give up her rights rather than have her people submit to be corrupted by patronage or conquered by power. Convince them of this and the1 slavery question is settled forever. Faith and friendship, will reign be tween us through all time to jiome. We will not even need a standing army or a police corps on the border line. But never without the seal of bkxxl, will there be peace between us. God knows we have not desired war, but now that the North . has; forced the alternative upon us, we are 'for war and war to the knife. If the Northern horde ventures to invade out soil, it will be with an army of five hundred thousand men. If they come at all, they will come to exterminate. We must prepare jto meet them on the threshold. It is idle to talk of a home guard. That is not the proper spirit. There is now no dan ger to our homes. Let all able-bodied men. who can leave at all young, old and middle-aged rich and poor, prepare to go whenever , duty may call. Let companies be formed in eveiy captains' beat; let them be officered and reported to the Governor at once. Let' all men spare time enough to drill. Arrange your business so as to leave at a moments warning. Save the State and yourself all Jyou ,can, but spare nothing necessary to our common defence. Virginia, and Maryland are as dear to us ow as our gwn peo ple. A common interest, a fellow feeling aud a gen erous sentiment,' all inspire us to Stand or fall together. We may still talk about the old itars and stripes. We may: look tcTa middle Confederacy jor we may' turu to yonder glorious Banner tyow floating victor iously to the breeze, but if we fight to conquer, we must all 'Haiti ioaether. The man who now sits down to calculate where he will go when the victory is lost. or won, or under what particular banner he will ngM the battles of the South, has halflway made up7bis mind not to, fight at all, if he can'heljt ii. Suclv-men doubt our cause and distrust our ! arms. . Our appeal to-you is to unite, to arouse and to rally. Do your duty and trust the result to the God of battles. TO ARMS! TO ARMS!.! and strike in defence of the land of your birth; the peace jof your homes, the v.ovar nf your name1, a.ud the een graves of your Sires. : ," v . ' Mr. B. then proposed to raLseforth with, a third company of Volunteers, or he would join as- a pri vate, any company gotten upby others. . Dr.'L. S." Bingham, the Mst of our Union friends in Concord, next addressed the peopte, and declared himself "in 'for the War', Southern Rights, Secession, Confederate Flag andU." This announcement was received with great applause ,by all present. All hands then: went to work, and in the course of a few hours .the roll of the "Guards" Was increased to 66 names that eft' the ABlack Boys" to 62, and 48 of, the best men of the county secured for a company of Cavalry. Besides several hundred dollars (in money and supplies) were added to the list of contributions, -making in , all between $1500 and $2000. Npbly has. Cabarrus done her duty. j .During the evening it was announced that the Rev. D. A. Penick; jr., would preach to the military in the Presbyterian church at candle light. Nearly every man was present, with a large 'number of sorrowing and sympathizing relatives and friends. His text was: "If thy pi esenee go not with me, carry us not up hence." The sermon was exceedingly appropriate and was listened to with very marked attention and solemnity by the numerous audience. On Sunday, morning, both companies left for Wil mington on a special train. At a very early hour a large concourse of persons, numbering 1,600 or 2, 000 assembled at the depot to bid them adieu. The scene was truly a sad and touching one. The rolls were called and not a man had1 backed out. . .The line was formed, the last . parting with neighbors, friends and kindred was had. In single file, amid the utmost quiet arid order, the men entered the cars; soon the signal was given ' and the train rolled off, when one universal and spontaneous shout rent the air;-handkerchiefs, flags and banners waved, and huzzas, loud aud long, followed the gallant sons of Cabarrus."' " - Long may they live and may victory ever crown their arms. : i " The South of oxe Accord. Never, in the histo ry of the world, did anyj people respond to arms with greater unanimity than the fifteenlaveholding States; are now doing. It is not extravagant to say that they have already a million of men virtually under arms. No levy en masse could have produced such an upri sing of any other people. They continue to differ in sbine things, it is true some being for secession, Some for revolution, some for Writing with the Sounthern Confederacy, and some for forming a Confederacy, cf the Middle States, but all, with one mind' and one voice, are for prompt resistance to the coercive",' policy of the North." Against'this oufpeople are ready to give, battle to the death." Should the Lincoln govern ment -persevere in the insane policy of the proclama tion, such battles will be fought as have not before been 'heard of, and such rivers of blood will flow as hayenbt before been thought of. For ages past it has been told thatwhen "Greek meets Greek, then comes the lug of tear? but for ageshereafter.it will be remem bered that when the States 'of the' North met the States of the South in the shock of battle, the earth was shaken frui'n centre to circumference. A full mil lion" of Southern warriors are now girding on their ar mor, .. with ail the resolution of men determined to conquer or to die ; and yet the madmen occupying the high places at Washington expect 'to not .only coerce, them into obedience but compel them to reunite with ; enemies bent on shedding their blood. "Should this course be perse vered in. we shall have reunion vith a vengeance! Pet. Express.

John SpelmaX, Esq : j Dear Sir: In your lat Drief notice of the meet-: ing of the citizens of Raleigh, you (unintentionally no doubt) place me in a ridiculous position "by saying that "Kemp P.

In my ap prehension, they stand now where they always stood, and hence I pledged their support to the" resolutions adopted by , the meeting, their bold arid energetic re sistance to all endeavors by a Sectional Administra tion to subjugate the Confederate States. That pledge Avill be amply redeemed. I f Let us, while the foe is upon us, sink "party?"

BATTLE. For the State Journal. At a meeting of the friends of the South, held at Sprinafild Academy (in St. Marie's District, in this county April-26th, 1861, on motion of Wm. R. Poole, Dr. L. C. Manly was called to the Chair, and Haywood Griffis.and C. F. Johns appointed Secreta ries. The Chair briefly explained the object of the meeting. ; '?' On motion a Committee of five wrere. appointed to draft resolutions for the action of .the meeting, where-i upon the Chair appointedthe following, gentlemen Capt.' , G. H. Faribault, Dr. A. H. Jones, G. WJ Crockett, Wm. R. Poole aijd Wm. Rand. , i During the absence of; the committee calls were made upon K. P. Battle, jwho responded in a speech of considerable length,' showing plainly the treachery and usurpation of the Black Republican party in their attempts to subjugate Our sister States of the South ; that Old Abe's, call for 75,000 troops was unconstitu tional, and that we should resist it with our might and? strength. ' During Mr. Battle's speech there was deaf ening applause. ,j j ' ' ' The Committee on resolutions appeared and report ed through their chairman. Wm.

Resolved, That- we pledge ourselves to devote our time and means, and our li ves (if necesssary) to' the re sistance of such arbitrary and despotic measures. Resolved, That we cordially approve the action of the Governor of this State.; in refusing to .furnish the Contingent required by Abraham Lincoln for the in iquitous purpose, and in laboring to place the State in a posture of defence. ' ! - ; Resolved, That we approve! of the . action of the Governor in assembling the Legislature, and we hope they will take proper steps ibr taking the State out of the Federal Union as soon as practicable. f Resolved, That we recommend that a vigilant Com mittee of twenty of our best citizens for the district be appointed, whose duty it shall be to guard well the in terests of the South, and bring all traitors to condign punishment. i ' ' i : ' . Mr. Faribauts made some .'appropriate remarks on the resolutions, particularly! the last. ; Calls were then made upon Wm. R.

X. G. Rand and others.1 On motion of Wm. R Poole, the proceedings of the meeting were ordered to be published in the Raleigh papers. On motion the meeting aejourned. .I., L.

Virginia BoV.4-We understand that when the vandal Black Republicans had in their panic and hurry destroyed as much of; the property at the Gosport Navy Yard as they.jcould, their, last-, effort was to blow up the gates of .the Dry Dock. . To this end, after depositing a sufficient quantity of powder in bulk, they laid a train of powder to a Very slow burning fuse at some distance from the Dock. A portion of this train was laid Ion the top of a pile of planks, behind which was iconcealed a P'ommouth boy. The fuse was lighted, the vandal Republicans made " Boston time" for their boats, expecting momen- tanlyto hear, at a safe distance, an awful explosion But they missed their mark.! The little Virginia hero very deliberately rose up' and overturned one of the plauks on which the train was, laid, thereby cutting the connection" with the bulk of; powder, and savin" one of the most valuable naVal works in the Un'rted States or in the world. Wliat was the name of this boy ? Let us have it, and let Did Virginia adopt him as her son, to be reared at her own expense. Register. Old Abe Frightened. We learned from a stu dent, last night, who has been for some time at the Columbia College at Washington city, and who came from there a day or; two since; that there is not as many troops in Washington as has .been represented by the Black Republican press., He reports, also, that there is quite a number of strong Southern Rights men now in that city, and OldKAbe is considerably frightened. He stated furthermore, that hundreds of the Virginians were already on the banks of the Po tomac,, and that otherWere rapidly marching there Thus it will be seen that Old Abe is nearly hemmed in he cannot escape through Baltimore, by Harper' Ferry nor down the Potomac.J2ouyA Noto$. 1 t ' " " " ' ' Clit State 'Jontnal JOHX SPELMAX, PRINTER TO THE STATE.

We Jay before our readers the message of his Excel lency, Govi Ellis, to. the General Assembly. We have delayed our publication for this document, know ing t will be anxiously looked for. We have neither time iior space for comment. We endorse every sentiment of it. Like everything emanating from Govi Ellis it is worthy of him and our State. We bespeak for: it an attentive pefusal. : !-,'! fi A number of extra copies of to-day's paper, containing the Message can be" procured at this office. The, Standard may at once understand that it shall, not pipvoke us into a controversy of any kind just now. It can say 'nothing to us! or of us to alter this determination. Had we desired 1 to find fault with the prevent course of that paper r we have had abundant cause. ' Its iattempta lately ;to divide the people on the question pf a Middle Confederacy were; to say the least of them, in very bad taste. Its calls upon1 North Carolina to stand by the Border States the .Con federate States to be left' to' take care of themselves was worse still, if possible; because it was at a time when one of the Con federate States, tbe gallant little South Carolina, .was sending: us her can non and powder, and-offering us her men. to defend our homes from the vandals of Black Republicanism and when the confederate troops were passing through our State .for the defence sf the Border States ; yes, and when jthe Vice President of the Con federate States was on'his mission to Virginia ito con sult for the common Southern defence. It was, we say, in veiy bad taste, at such a time, to talk of stand ing by: the Border States and leave the Confederate States to take care of themselves. .;! ' , The Standard has been compelled iuto its present position, such as it, is,j by' the united voice of the peojUe of the State; and it will be compelled into the support of a united Southern Confederacy by that same united 'people's voice, whether it likes it or not. The record-making x)t the Standard, with a view to the future and in consideration of the past, may as well be .at once abandoned. That paper will be prin ted in the Southern Confederacy ni less than three months, in spite of its editors efforts. There is no use of kicking against the fates. Virginia is now a member . of the Southern Confederacy, and Korth Carolina will be, ; just i as soon as the forms .for taking her iuto it can be gone through. Itis.the will of the people of the State and no one man, nor no thousand meti can thwart that will. Ourj readers -know that for weeks past we have carefully a voided party in this paper.' But in! order that the Standard should have some excuse for its partyism, it charges that our iss'ue of Wednesday last contained "marked evidences of party rancor." Our reader may say how that is.

It will be seen, by the following letter, that Judge Biggs had been in-' I duced to withhold his resignation by the advice of ! many friends; pending the seeming unsettled state of : publiG sentiment. Now, however, when a blow has been strucH at the South, Judge Biggs at once wash es his hands of the Black Republican judiciary, and takes his place as a. private in the, ranks of his coun trymen.
