The Bichmond EnquirerThe Raleigh Standard, o . ' ' We publish to day,, at-short article, in anotlicr io liunn froni tbe Kichmond Enquirer. It is worth t!i'c special attention of every man and woman in Xorth Carolina. It is written in the usual style of that most respectable paper. It's tone is dispassion ate and respectful". It admits the loyalty to this South of the editor of the Statidard, but says, "He. is bound to admit the fact, however unpleasant it may lie, that the language employed, (in his paper,) in his new character of grumbler .and fault-finder, is sus ceptible of the very interpreta ion given it by Bennett in his Herald."" And again, says the Enquirer, "He -will permit us to hay, that his friends outside of North Carolina concur in the jusiice of the strictures passed lipun sonic of his Veeent articles akticles which II AVI? UI VEX NO MTTI.Ii AID AXD COMFOUT TO THE Nohtiiekn enemy, as the uses made of them by Lin coln iiotrnaTa fully show." ' . ThoEnquirer makes up its verdict of guilty against the cdjlor of the Standard on the evidence of the " fiiticJjlii papers," and "the language which he has 'ii'i ployed in his new character of grumbler and fault Hinder." It does not admit .as witnesses, either, the -Wilmiilgton Journal . the , Raleigh Register, or the Jiitale Journal. 'It asks the Standard whether, it . ha.-l seen the rep roil notion of its articles ij the New , York IlemlJ, whether it lias seen a late number of that .sheet, containing extracts from the' 'Haleigh ' Shii'prd, headed, in staring capitals "The Southern J'oiifedcracy virtually repudiated in North Carolina." JUvirtg dono.- this, the Enquirer has the honest bold hc?s ti telltfic editor of the'Siandard that, on hisown ;ril.ii ! 's reproduced' in the Lincoln papers not on the . tin!ny of 'the Wilmington Journal, the Register, i r State Jijitrml he is foiiud guilty. How does the o'.'art'aru'mect this? What defence does he sot up to this "plain specific, commpr.-sense statement of facts , iv lie Enquirer:- v What has he to say, why judgment ' : '. 1 not be pronounced against nim, in accordance 'v.iiii iho vertJict of guilty, which tho Enquirer and ' his friends outride of North Carolina," have returned ajnh him, and which has been found solely on the tviileuce of ."' the Lincoln papers," and the language '.viiieh he has employed." What defence does he offer V the verdict of the Enquirer, when it tells him, ip- verbis, that "He .has been instrumental in -convey-'' the impression to tlie Northern mind that the J-.'

It is a curiositv 11 its way, and only as such would we publish it ; for 'ip; submit to the judgment of the Enquirer whether it .Meets the issue in a single instance. Indeed it tenders i issue whatever. U confesses all that is alleged gainst it, and f.rils to introduce a single witness or to VWx s"n'sM argHrnen't in extenuation of its guilt. On 4'ne contrary it -covertly reiterates the very language W which the Enquirer and "its friends outside of t rth Carolina" so justly condemn it. We will glance at it by paragraphs . . . !1 " ' Its proem is characteristic- "atsue of arrogance, in .which the egvmetiH the principal uWredient. Jt plain ' ly intimates if the editor "were in the midst of gen-t-ii:cn -his articlfisroprodiiced by the "Lincoln, pa I"rs, would not be so offensive. In other words, as he is ko! jn the midst of gentlemen," his articles are designedly -adapted to the taste, intelligence and ob J'tis of Yankee editor. His "high moral position" is ;''! a subject of concern with him in-his bombastic ITjIogue. He cannot refuse to be tried on that score '.V hisown rule "If you waflt to know what a man -ask his neighbors." Hon. George E. Badger is a '-ejhbor of conservative Ilolden, and he declared in 'p. court, in the city of Ka'leigh, that he. would not -'ui his tax to Holden, for the simple reason, that 't Holden, in Ids' opinion was "no gentleman."

Iere the editors of this paper as solicitous or doubt ' their, moral, social or political standing, as the :" or of the Standard appears to be pf bis ; tley, like would, perhaps, make it the theme of all they ite, and try to establish its unapproachable excel- fi.ee on their owir testimoHv. Bnt tbey have no mis- '. ings on this question, as Viewed from a secular stand int; and, therefore, have no desire to proclaim them ves the salt of the earth. Jf the editor of the Stan I could but see himself as others see him. he would more discreet and far lss presumptuous. j'H- J. A. Earlt, has been commissioned a Ma- caeral in the Confederate army. Who shall be, our next Governor P This question ij asked by the Milton .Chronicle. That paper would ba satisfied, it says, with Gov. Clark, and thinks he has dischargsd the duties of his office to the satisfaction of every .body. Why Gov ernor Clark is not a candidate, is now . a matter of little consequence. In the first place, we presume, he did not want the office. In the se3ond place, he was an old line democrat and an original secession ist; and for that reason his patty, in a spirit of com promise, did not see proper to urge his election. In the third place, the Chronicle would not have voted for hi m, if he had been a candidate.' 'But Governor Clafk being no candidate, nor desiring to be, the Chronicle hopes to make capital by expressing a willingness to support him. That is, it would lay aside partizan prejudices and support Gov. Clark, who was an old line democrat and an original seces ioni3t, but will not compromi-e on Colonel Johnston, whojis ah old line whig and an- old Uniouf' man 1 quite likely. But the Chronicle is quite iiberal, nevertheless. It says : ' . - "To us it matters but little who is governor, if he is honest, a man of respectable talents, and a faithful and loyal citizen to the land of his birth." ; Let us see how that declaration is likely to be illus trated by works. The Iredell Express and Charlotte Whig, both old Whig and old Union papers nomina ted Col. Johnson before any other man was seriously spoken of. Col. Johnston was an old line Whig and an old Union man up to the failure of the Peace Con gress, when he became an ultra-secessionist asome men term it. He was proposed as a compromise can didate. Every old Union paper in the State, the Standard excepted, and every secession paper frank ly and promptly declared that Mr. Johnston comes up to the Ctroniclc's standard that "he is honest, a man of respectable talents, and a faithful and loyal citizen to the land of his birth. And yet the Chronicle affects to know very little about him and won't support him. Need we tell the reason ? " But the Chonicle has, unintentionally we hope. grossly misrepresented one Tact which Ave wish it to correct; It says: "We perceive, with some regret, that a few papers in the State object to Col. Vance, because he was not a before-brcakfast secessionist and sustain Mr. John ston for the reason that he was." "ij We deeply regret to see such a statement in the col umns of any paper. It declares the .spirit -which is ' to characterize the ensuing election. No paper in North Carolina, that we have seen, has objected to Col. Vance, or sustains Col Johnston for any such rea son as the Chronicle sets forth. "Will the Chronicle name one paper that has done so? TJre may' be in ' error, but we venture lto. affirm that not one can be t named. V But it is all plain as the noon day sun. The ultra secessionists arc to be voted downs at the pedis! and any man on whom they are willing to compromise, or who is willing to compromise with them is doomed to the same fato. For this, Col. Johnston and his friends are not to be blamed. In good faith to all parties, we support him as a compromise candidate ; and if there be a spark of magnanimity or honor in the old Union men of the State, tbey will accept the olive branch in the same spirit iu which it is tendered, and elect Col. Johnston by a triumphant majority by a vote border ing on unanimity. We will, anticipate no other re sult, until the polls force upon us the conclusion thai there is a strong Northern party in North Carolina. What then ? Rally, friends of the war, friends, of President Davis, friends and lovers of tho country and its cause, rally on William Johnson of Mecklenburg, whose election, as Governor, will declare that there is no partizan strife, and no friends of the Uhiou in North Carolina. Rally as brothers in a common cause, and de cl ire by your ballots, you will put down the man and the faction who would array you as enemies at the polls. Every man in the State, who is not in favor-of returning to the embraces of Lincoln, is now undoubt- edly an ultra secessioniot. To allay party strife, and harmonize public sentiment, an "old line Whi" aTfd an ''old Union man," but now an ultra secessionist has been chosen," as the candidate, to represent all old parties, in the Governor's chair, in North Carolina and therfore we support him. That man is William. Johnson of Mecklenburg, to whose fitness for the office every political paper in the State, the organ of the Hol denitcs excepted, have borne unqualified testimony; We will not imitate the example of the irascible organ of the Conservative Holdenites, just now, iu matters political. On the question of the future gov- ' ernor, we are reasonably i solicitous ; but we don't think the present state of he public mind would jus-. tify us just now, in devoting any thing like a large portion oi our attention or our paper to that question. We take it for granted, that the people' of North Carolina are determined to support the Confederate administration,, and to carry on the war while there's a shot in the locker. It is a gross absurdity to sup pose, that a people who are struggling for life and in dependence, will stop to wreak their fury on the ad ministration, because they have appointed this man a Brigadier or Major General ; and have refused to appoint that one. The question now with the peo ple is Life or Death; Liberty or Slavery, Indepen or Subjugation. Especially, noio, is the country mourning its loved ones, slain in battle, and we have i - no desire to obtrude partizan broils, on the sanctity of that sacred sorrow which ought, equally if possible, under the circumstances, to affect friend and relative. But, to those who have a thought to spare, we feel it a duty to say, that the election of the Governor and .nembers of the Legislature is ajduty .which oughtr not to be lost of sight. Disappointed ambition and cringing avarice are consjDiring against the adminis tration of Jefferson Davis. They are merely after the-spoils of office the "teat" of the government. They care not what becomes of the war, so they can receive the spoils of office. For selfish purposes, they are trying to array the people at home, and the sol diers in camp, in hostile factions. While our 'sol diers are falling by thousands Li the field, and cry ing for succor against the enemy, these black-hearted, political vampires are issuing their orders to old po litical parties to array themselves against each other and go to the polls as enemies. They call themselves Conservatives, and the Yankee papers, both- in New York, Philadelphia and Newbern, -claim them as friends of the old Union ; and openly declare they will soon be able, to effect its reconstruction. It is -enough for us to warn the people at home and the soldiers in camp, to keep their eye on these mod ern Union shriekers. Too much blod has been al ready spilt, and too much treasure has been already lost, too many sacrifices have been already made, too many, hardships have been already endured, to sub mit now or hereafter to the dominion of the North. The people will not do it; and the soldiers will never listen to such ignominious propositions. . ' .Read and Think. " Holden, Editor of the Raleigh Staudard, declared, on Saturday last, 14th inst., in the presence of two reliable gentleman, that in less TruV three MONTHS THE YANKEES WILL HAVE POSSESSION OF EVE RY capital in the- Southern Confederacy I Such language in the face of the Jenemy needs no comment. And this is Conservatism ! " ' Gratifying development of the Union senti ment in North Carolina and Tennessee. These two States are among the most important in in me soutn, ana ;neir action cannojt fail-to be attend ed with tremendous effects upon the rebellious com munituis. The great meeting at Nashville ; the course of Lieutenant Governor Clark, of North Carolina, as l . 1 ... . ' . exuioueu iu uis proclamation ; tne demand pf J.he State Convention upon Jeff. Davi3 to liberate the Mayor of the village ot Washington, imorisoned for al leged treason to the Confederacy, and the caving in of the rebel government by quickly yielding him up, are iacts wnicu speaK volumes. Andrew Johnson," as Provisional Lroveruor in one State, and Edward Stan ly, as Provisional Governor in the other, will, under the protection of the federal : government, bring out tne union sentiment in botn States, and give it form, strength and consistency. In" those States and in all other States where our flag is planted, the Union men ought to be encouraged and protected bv a sufficient military force. The abandonment of the Union men of Jacksonville, Florida, was extremely reprehensible and produced the very worst effects throughout the South, and we hope such a course will never be re peated. The Proclamation of Mr. Lincoln cannot fail to bs productive of the most happy consequences throughout the border States, and in North Carolina and Tennessee, it will give the finishing blow to the rebellion." The above from the New York Herald we all know to be a tissue of lies, and yet we foresaw that it was just such a tissue as the Northern papers would weave out oi the proclamation of uovernor Clark, vs. Muwr - ... . ... . . Ashe, which it publishes elsewhere with a nourish of trumpets ; and also out of the very strong expressions made use of in the Convention of this State apropos the Respass affair and which we indicated pretty plain ly at the time. High authorities cannot be too eau tious about such things at such times, which we may be permitted to say do not afford the best or safest op portunity for showing off or making capital. Wil. Journal 11th. ' ' ! We deeply regretted the proclamation of Gov. Clark, and were' not slow to express these regrets privately ; but preferred to let it fall still-born on the. popular ear; if indeed events would allow it to lo so. " But Conservative Holden read it with joy, and exclaimed " Well done, Governor Clark." The notorious conser vative Bcnnet, of the Herald, echoes the conservative sentiment of Holden ad exclaims, "Well done Gov. Clark !" . - We saw plainly, and told Governor Clark's friends plainly, that the proclamation would please the Stan dard and the Herald and the whole conservative Yan kee nation; only because they would misconstrue the motives which prompted it, and give it an inteprcta tion of" which it was not susceptible. The use of which they have miide, and are making of it, however un justifiable, is now before the whole country and fs warning its irttits. In issuing the proclamation, however, nobody doubts or impeaches the motives of Governor Clark. That they were pure and patriotic, all are willing to admit, however impolitic and ill-adv"i3ed the step which they dictated. To attempt to prove his loyalty to the South, would. baas absurd as an effort to prove .j an axiom by argument. The one is as self-evident as the 'other-r-thc fervent loyalty of Governor Clark to the South' is above impeachment. His official blunders things , common to all men, however high in authority ; and the higher the more common is pitc another thing, ami is readily admitted. He claims to be but a man. No man, nor anything em anating from the bauds or mind of man is perfect, Mere error iu judgment, as constantly developed in the acts ofjnen, is a commonplace affair ; and would ia,s by uuhecded and without any injurious results, did not bad men seize it to their own advautasce. Whatever Governor Clark may now think of the wis- om 6f hispioclamation,acd whatever the Convention may thick of the wisdom of their action in the Res- ;ss case, false friends and opeu enemies, arc making the most of both. Most of us in North Carolina, and iu the whole South, we hope, know they are lying ar tistically ; but it serves to keep up the delusion of their satntps and serfs at tha North, and, to that extent, nves them color of juftification for prosecuting their nefarious warfare. But these things will come to an end.. Experience is teaching our rulers and people wisdom, though man' of her lessons have been dearly bought; and God grant that it be well applied in tho future. We are indebted to a friend for another copy of the Newborn Yankee, Conservative Progress that "in cendiary" sheet which speaks so patronizingly 'and quotes so copiously from the Conservative, hotel-keeping editor of this city. The number before us is da ted June 4th, and its editorial columns con tains nothing remarkable or sensational, beyond a dearth, of "naval stores," which is graphically sot forth in a full column and a piece, the reception of a mud turtle, the review of the "1st Division," by Gen. Foster, and the? removal of the sick from Newbern to Pender's hotel, Beaufort. Yes! it is remarkable for another thing it does not contain a single quotation from the Conservative organ in this city. - It states that Gen. Mitchell, on a recent occasion, mounted "a huge rock pulpit, at Shelby vilie,-Tennessee," and preached a huge (of course) sermon to the Ninth Ohio Brigade. It publishes an "important order" of Gen. Burnside, announcing to the good peo ple of the State that North Carolina is under martial law, and that "lohoever utters one word against the Government of these United. States will be at once a: rested and closely confined?". God help us! We are inclined to think it would take "a tolerably large field and .a pretty stroug fence to contain and keep the disobedient and refractory witnin bounds, and some rations.-to feed them. And we are also inclined to think that this order is in strange contrast with our laws, which allow traitors to betray our cause and sell the blood of our gallant soldiers for Yankee money. When will our people learn wisdom ? We see, too, that 'a regular communication of Fraternal Army Lodge, No. 4. Free and Accepted Masons" had been called at Masonic Hall for the 5th; and it gYieves us to think how widely do the profes- sioue of men, "sometimes, differ from their practice: How can. those unfeeling, unthinking men endure the thought of. occupying a temple. Trom which, with bloody bayonets and bursting bombshells, they have driven those by whom it was reared and adorned "for the Master's use." In -view of this particular case. 6f Yankee hypecrisy and desecration, we are forced to the mournful reflection, that conscience and reason all the sensibilities have deserted a large proportion of our fallen race', and taken up their tbode with ravenous wild beasts. And so we. dis miss the Progress and these unhappy reflections for the present. . " ' - . . Stonewall's Prisoners. Two, Colonels, one Lieut. Colonel, eighteen Captains and eighteen Lieu tenants, part of the fruits of Gen. Jackson's late vic tory in the Valley of Virginia, passed up the Central road, last Thursday evening, eu route for Salisbury. They were on parole, we learn, and consequently no guard accompanied them.- . ' The Express of Thursday announces the arrival in Petersburg, on the preceding day, of ten Yankee pris oners under guard for the same poird; among them Lieut. Col. Carrie, of the 16th- Pennsylvania regi ment, and Lieut Willis of the 8th Pennsylvania Cav alry. There were also 8 others spies and traitore among whom if a son of a wealthy piano dealer, in Baltimore, named Carusi, who is said to have, been convicted as a Fpy and condemned to death. More Yankee Hindooisxn in "Washington. A Yankee gunboat landed at Dixie Hall (the resi dence of Mr. Wm. Grimes) on the day of the fight of Col. Singeltary's regimeut with the Yankees. The Yankees weft into Mr. Grimes' house and took a large map, spyglass and opera glass, and also some turkeys. Two days afterwards the gunboat returned, and the Yankees landed, went into the house and re moved on board their'.bqat and a flat belonging to r Mr. Grimes, all his furniture of every kind, excepting -four- beds and an old sofa, and a few chairs took off all his mules and horses, turkeys and chickens made inquiry about his cattle and hog, and loft with their booty for Washington, after giving orders that noth ing should be disturbed or taken from the premises before they returned. They broke open his barn and meat house, and helped themselves to whatever they wanted of what came' in their reach. They have no doubt returned before this to secure what they left behind. Tnis is a high handed measure, but may bo relied on as strictly true : We get our information from a gentleman who read a letter, received by Mr. Grimes this morning from .his overseer, containing the above information. Need we ask what Gov. Stanly is about? Of course he's military Governor, and these, his military subjects are executing his will to the letter. This is the feast to which he invites his old neighbors and former political friends ! President Davis in Haleigh. To one of the afflicting dispensations of Providence, which man may reasonably anticipate, but can'neither foresee nor con trol, the City of Raleigh is indebted for a visit from the distinguished and much beloved President of the Confederate States. Accompanied by his family phy sician, he arrived in this city, Sunday evening, to visit a sick child, which we are happy to learn, is -now con valescent. President ' Davis arrived by the ordinary train, via the Raleigh and Gaston railroad, nuaccom panied with any of that senseless parade of suites and lackies with which the Northern papers announce the tiavels of their Northern despot. v Having learned on his arrival, that the child .was 'hot dangerously ill, the President, ' wo are informed, an nounced his inrention to take his departure on Mon day morning for Richmond ; hut he was himself taken ill during the night, no ddubt, from the combined ef fects of fatigue and anxiety, and has had to postpono his departure for the present. We are happy to say that, apart from his present temporary illness, the President is in the enjoyment of good health ; but care and anxiety are. leaving tleir premature traces on his brow. Could but all the peo ple know him as ho is, heart and soul and mind, they would love him as they love the memory of their Washington, and confide in him as the instru ment of that Divine hand to wham they look for de liverance. We would most respectfully inform tho Wilmington Journal that we are very sorry if we have done it any injustice by our article under the head of "Defama tion' which appeared in our issue of. last Saturday. If the comunication of "Hanover" which appeared in the Journal, and which suggested our remarks, was credited to the Examiner,; we eutirely overlooked it ; and must thus far beg pardou., ;But we thought we had a just right to charge "defamation', on the writer, because nobody but a fool, a madman or a traitor, would have acted -Us that communication represented the 'commander of the troops of whom he spoke. The animus of the communication we did not enter into farther than to suggest that ignorance of the facts or malice towatds a high officer of the army was evident in every sentence. 'We are happy to see that events have justified the anticipations which we expressed and hope that letter writers, diereafter, will learn. to be just. as well as censorious. We had no intention to charge "Defamation" either literally or constructively on our friends of the Journal. The Mails. Something is radically wrong in the mail service of the State, or else those engaged iu carrying out the de tails of the system,, very much neglect their duty. The complaints of our subscribers arc becoming intol erable. We have avoided all complaint as long as possible, but we must now commence to stir matters up. Our subscribers at Sunny South, Nash county, as sure us they do not receive more thari one out of four of their papers, and some of them boldly charge that we do not mail them. We beg to say that we mail them every oneyand promptly, and that the fault is at the Raleigh postoffice, with themail carrier via Ea gle RoGk, or with the postmaster at SunnjT South. At one or the other of these person's doors lies the fault, and we hope that this will be the last time we shall have to notice this case. Other complaints reach us, but'we' will attead to them hereafter as they arise. The Departure of Lord 'Lyons for England is now universally admitted to be true, but why or for what purpose outsiders know nothing1. The New York Herald's assertion that he has gone to persuade the English government not to recognize the Confede racy, and-to assure it that Lincoln will crush out tho rebellion in few days, is simply a Yankee lie as big as the Herald ever told. The British government loes not degrade the office of Minister Plenipotentiary so low as to make that high functionary the errand boy of Seward. The rumor that Frauce has recog nized the independence of the Confederate States may or may not have something to do with it. General Price. It having been let out that General Price passed through Goldsboro' on Friday night, en route for Richmond, we may state a few facts as having come from the General.' The au thority is good. Price says Beauregard is all right.' , His backward movement from Corinth was one of the ablest military movements on record. The stories of the immense loss of property on falling back are false. General Price covered the rear and knows what took place. He says two thousand dollars will cover the enre loss, and that not a single man was lost. So much for Corinth, Beauregard and Price.

Editors : Mr. Holden makes use of the' fol lowing language in the Standard of 14th inst. , ''And we now say for the com fort of the Squads, that Col. Vance will run." Col.

The anxiety for news from America was bocoming hourly more intense among commercial circles. The London lanes remarks that it is now deprived of any information from j the' American seat of war, except that which the Federal Government pleases to prepare for home and foreign consumption. The Paris correspondents of tire Belgian newspa pers are nearly unanimous in stating that French di plomacy is actively engaged in preparing some terms of agreement, by meansof which the war in America may be terminated.
