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,

o'.'art'aru'mect this? What defence does he sot up to

'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-''

1'iiLT?) excludes it Horn our columns. 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."
Hie second pargraph 'cunningly assumes that the
-'.'iti'TO-lhad formed its opinion on the representations
! -ti;e Register and State Journal? and adroitly tries
" cover up its guilt by thuja making up its own case.

:" 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

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. . '

Holden, Editor of the Raleigh Staudard, declared,
on Saturday last, 14th inst., in the presence of two
reliable gentleman, that in less TruV three

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

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.

lowing language in the Standard of 14th inst.

From Chareston. The Telegraph at a late hour on
Monday night, announced a victory over the Yankees
on James Island, near Charleston, S. C. , The thrash
ing and chasing of Jive regiments by an inferior force
is nothing wonderful when the Yankee character is
considered, hut affords an additional illustration of the
spirit and valor of our troops. Let us be grateful to

FROM EUROPE.
XT Richmond, Juno 13-10 p. m.
. New York papers of the 6th have been received,
containing news by the British steamer Persia to the
25th ultimo. . !
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

on both sides was' very great. Tho Federal loss, ho
