We are creditably informed that a steamer from a foreign port arrived at a Con . federate port on Tuesday. She wa fired at several times, but succeeded in running the blockade unin-' jnred. - We think tha a sailing ressel also ran the block ade a few day since, and hpr captain has arrived in this city; Savannah Morning News April 4. the V : Gunboat Subscription. The people of this State; in common with those of our sister States of Virginia! South Carolina, Georgia, .Alabama and Louisiana, have displayed a desire to build one or more iron-clad gunboats, or other means df defence of that class. Coupled with- this desire, a general willingness has been shown to contribute liberally for this purpose. f The fact that the Confederate Government has also entered upon the business of creating a nary; and has directed Us attention largely, to this class of vessels, neither renders this effort unnecessaiy; nor does it interpose any insuperable barrier to State or volunta ry effort. The slightest reflection will be sufficient to convince all, that the present struggle calls for and will continue to call for the exertion of every energy on the part not only of the government authorities but also of the people of the Confederate States. ' The ladies, ever foremost in good works, may be said to have initiated the movement in North Caroli na. We trust that they will continue to lend their invaluableaid and countenance to the patriotic effort.0 .. . - ' . -.... - . . ? Without claiming for Wilmington any peculiar right to take the lead or assume the control of this matter in any way, we may be permitted to alluda to the deeply-to-be-regretted state of facts which necessa rily indicates the Cape Fear River as now affording the only available' locality in the State, still within the control of the Confederacy, for carrying this pro ject into practical effect. At Wilmington, Fayetteville, or at some intervening point, the work must be done' so far as the ship-building is concerned. The prepa ration of material and the construction of machinery can go on at any other available and convenient points. The fact that now the Capo Fear is the only unob structed outlet to tide water which our State possesses gives to all measures for the defence of that outlet, a character not merely local, but co-extensive with the State, audits importance is enhanced by its absolute necessity to the supply of salt to meet the require ments of the people. These 'being the facts, we feel no hesitation in ap pealing at once and strongly to the people of the whole State, arid of every county in the State, to come forward and lend a helping hand to this State work. It is true that the Confederate government may build vessels in our waters, but these, when built, do not, by any means, belong exclusively, or even peculiarly to our harbor, or to our defence. They may, when completed, be Ordered off to any point on the whole Confederate coastl, and may never return to the wa ters of North Carolina. We want something differ ent from this something made" by the people of the State to. be used peculiarly for their own defense. Feeling the necessity of organization for the accom plishment of any work; and more especially ol a work of such magnitude, we have urged the formation o associations and the appointment of committees not only here, but in every town and county and district iu the State, for the promotion of the desired object by the collection of funds, and by all other, effective and proper means. Recognizing thi3 necessity, the people of Wilmington held a Town Meeting, at which they expressed their sense of the importance of the measure, and invited the co-operation of their fol low citizens in all the counties of the State, but espe cially the counties of the Cape Fear section, at the same time placing the matter in the charge of the Safety Committee of the Town, which body has con stituted Messrs.-0. G. Parselv, A. J. DeRossctt. and Wm. A. Wright,! a special Committee on this matter, to solicit and receive subscriptions and to make all necessary arrangements for carrying out the object of which the subscribers have in view. They will no doubt discharge the trutt confided to them with en ergy and fidelity.! May wc not earnestly request all who feel an inter est in this truly State effort, to give tangible proof of 1 this interest by placing themselves in correspondence with the above gentlemen, and by immediately form ing organizations for the promotion of this object by the contribution of money and by all other feasible means of co-operation ? In connection with these remarks we re- produce the statement of the Special Committee, although already published in yesterday's Journal. The Comtmtteej of Safety of the Town of Wilming ton, to whom the; citizens of Wilmington in public meeting assembled referred all matters connected with the construction of one or more iron clad gun-boats or floating batteries for the defence of the entrances to the Cape Fear pRiver and the Coast of North Car olina, have constituted the undersigned a Special Com mittee ou the subject referred to them. The means of defense indicated, whether by an iron-clad gun-boat, or by an iron-clad floating battery, to meet the impending exigency, should be construct ed as promptly as may be possible; and it is there fore cf vital importance that we should ascertain without delay whether the uecessary means can be procured. Contributions for this purpose are earn estly solicited. Should the amount contributed not be sufficient, or should any unforeseen contingency prevent the commencement of this' work, the sums teudered will be returned to the respective donors. Among the resolutions adopted at the public meet ing of the citizens of Wilmington, it was Ilesolved That the citizens of the several counties of the State are requested to organize Committees to Buuun comnouuons ana oinerwise to co-operate with the Committee of Safety in further aucc of the pro posed work. I The manifest importance of the contemplated work to the State at large, justifies us in calling on every patriotic citizen of ,; North Carolina to come forward promptly and liberally in aid of its speedy accom plishment."

I call, then, upon the patriotic women to co-operate in contributing a sufficient sum. for a gunboat to be called the " old North , State," and I venture to submit for appreval a plan for obtaining the necessary fund, it is this to ask som one or more persons in every town in the State, to accent the post of Collector, and to extend the subscription list to high and low, rich and jwor iso that every woman and child within our holders may have the opportunity to aid in maintaining the cause of the Confederacy and the bc-uor of the good old North State. Mrs. John W. Ellis will take the Western part if North Carolina, aud in the middle and Eastern por tions of the State, I trust I may meet with the same cordial response from those with whom I have yet to communicate, that has already been returnel by those mi- m . ... . wno nave consentea to act as collectors. Any person not within reach of a collector, and desiring to give to this object, can do so by forward ing her subscription to Gen. J. G. Martin, who has kindly agreed to receive the contributions.

Shall we, the Ladies of North Carolina, remain insensible to the dangers of our beloved State. Already the enemy has invaded our coast. Our fathers, husbands, broth t era and sons are withstanding them to the death. ; Let us at once arise and pour in our free-will offerings. .As military authorities have expressed, an opinion that under the circumstances, gunbo&ts in bur waters cannot be very efficient, and that artillery would most effectually contribute to the defence of our State, let our contributions be for that purpose. Shall there be any hesitations? All that is most, precious to us in this world is now endangeied. Unanimity and promptitude can do much, .

We fully endorse the plan proposed, as it will, we think, keep down party strife, and enable the people to elect their next Gover nor without the usual attendants of party bitterness and contention; We hope to see the Journal's pro position carried out. :; Several gentlemen have been mentioned in connec tion with the-office. Gen. Hill has heretofore been mentioned by us, and we still think him the man for the crisis; Gov. Graham. Wm. Johnston of Char lotte, N. W. Woodfin of Buncombe, Gov. Morehead of. Guilford, Gov. Reid of Rockingham, Col Z. B. Vance, and perhaps others, have been brought forward. Any of these gentlemen would fill the position with diginity and ability, and if selected in the manner pro posed by the Journal, or in any other way calculated to maintain the "unity of the spirit in the bond of peace," and contribute to the harmony and general . quiet and prosperity of toe State , we will cheerfully artv sunrjort 'Tha accord to such nominee our hea present is no time for the revival of party strife and prejudice. We should know no man as Whig or Dem ocrat; but as North Caroliuians should stand shoulder to shoulder, and bend every energy to the one great object before us the1 independence of our beloved country. Good men will, not thrust themselves for ward, but when duty calls will be always ready to respond, whether the position bo high or low. Let us by all means have no partizm canvass the coming summer, but as brethren, bound to stand or fall togeth er, act in harmony and concert, and present an un divided front to the enemy who seeks our destruction. Ashville News. From'the Register. More Attempts to make mischief We take the following extract from an editorial ar ticle in tie last Raleigh Standard: ''very true-hearted man in the South must depre cate deeply the morbid and infuriated spirit which ever and anon developes itself in certain quarters, iu the progress of the war. The blind phrenzy which prompt ed the origiuators of this revolution to plun-e them selves headlong into it without counting the cost, or , stopping to piepare for it, now' that their eyes arc opened to its vast dimensions, drives them in their alarm to the desperate resolves of the maniac. The readiness with which they utter their anathe mas upon the conservative men of the South, who are really its chief reliance for ultimate success their blatant blasphemies against providence their open mouthed infidelity their hot haste to override all con stitutional barriers to trample upon laws the most conservative aud beneficial to ignore the rights of the people, notwithstanding their former professions ; to beat down all the bulwarks of social, commercial or political virtue which lie in their way, is really alarm ing. Keckless; of the property or the persons of the people, they will sacrifice all to the madness of the hour, and at some future day, will mend the breach by falsehood, chicanery and repudiation. Mark what we say." . , Yes we will mark whatj'ou say, and mark it for the . purpose of denouncing it as an attempt to break down that, which is so essential -'to our success in this war for life and liperty the credit of the government. Every man in this State or out of it who knows any thing, knows that if the credit of the government is de stroyed and the sinews of war be thus lost to it, we cannot keep and maintain our armies in the field,. and our cause will be completely lost. Anything, there fore, which tends to destroy-confidence in the ability and willingness of the Confederate or' State govern ments fairly to redeem their issues, is a blow struck for the Yaukees, aud aimed at our liberties. -This blow has been struck by the editor of the Standard when he says, with the emphasis of italics, " repudiation" will ensue. This editor is now making war against the revolution in progress and draught with such momen tous results, and charges " blind phrenzy " upon those who brought it on. This charge is aimed, of course, af the " original secessionists, " and ".Mr. Lincoln," as the editor of the Standard gingerly terms him, is, as usual, exonerated from all blinie in the premises. We appeal to the people of North Carolina to say, if such language as we have fairly quoted from the Standard is proper to be used in a Southern paper at this time, and we appeal to them to disregard the Standards insinuations against the credit of the government. What would be the worth of all tho money in the world to us, if we were enslaved bv the Yankees and held as serfs or vassals ? And yet, this must be tha confidence in the gov ernment, and destroy the value of that which will alone enable us to achieve our liberties. It will be seen that tha Standard -denounces seces sion by declaring that a "blind phrepzy" prompted' the originators to "plunge themselves headlong into it without counting the cost or stopping to prepare for it " Is not tho editor of the . Standard the last man in the world to complain cf a want of prepara tion? Has he forgotten his own course ? Does he remember that he declared 'that Lincoln's Inaugural Address meant peace ? Did he not, day after "day, parrot out, ad nauseam, the word?, " Watch "and Wait?" "Watch" what? Lincol paring to deal an aggressive blow upon the South ? "Wait" for what ? Until he had seized upon the who!e Army and Kavy of the . United States ? Until be had reinforced and strengthened tlio fortifications, Navy Yards and Arsenals in the South, and possessed himself of the arms which the foresight of Governor Floyd had provided for us; and, in a word, placed himself in a condition to crush out. at once, what he terms a "rebellion ?" These would have been, the inevitable consequences if the policy inculcated by the editor of the Standard had been foil r.-pl, . Anil yet, ait this time, wheri the whole South is resonant with joy and thanksgiving and praise to the Almighty God of nations for the signal victory with which He has just crowned our arms, the editor of the Raleigh Standard sends forth from his nest the raven CToak that the Southern Confederacy is going fast to destruc tion. He tells our own people, as' well as the enemv," that the leaders in the revolution are blatant blasphe mers against Providence that they are wallowing in the slough of infidelity that they disregard all con stitutional barriers that they trample upon laws the most conservative and beneficial that they ignore the rights of the people that they are reck leas of the property or the persons of the people and that they will finally wipe out the pecuniary obligations which they will incur in this war by an act of "repu diation." This language is, in substance and etfi'ect, a declaration to Lincoln thattlic Southern Confedera cy is in a more fearful condition than ever was France in the worst days of her revolutions, either of the pant or present century, and that nothing but despotism can evoke order from the' anarchy which now runs riot in it. Again we ask the people of North Carolina if such language should be tolerated in a Southern paper ? .The newspaper or individual that attempts to re rive old party prejudices and kindle the fires' of parti- zan strife at the present time, is a worse enemy to the ooutn man an avowed tory or a full b'ooded Yankee. Let such be marked and branded, that they may be known hereafter.- No true patriot desires the revival of parties now, and no true Southern man will give aia or countenance to such an attempt. Those who act thus may well be suspected, and their fidelity to the South questioned.
