; a; Is it Invasion ? . " . ; .
We notice tBat many of our cotemporaries refer to
the entrance of our troops into Maryland as aa.';in
Yasion.' .- Wp doubt if ibis word be properly applica
ble to the present movement of the forces of Gen. Lee.
We do not enter Maryland as enemies, out as inenus.
We come to liberate; not to conquer. We enter Mary
land under the asumption that Maryland is really
with us, aud that in truth, aer people are our people,
andberjjoil our soil. If we be correct in this assump
tion, then it is no', invasion) but a rescue. If we are not
correct in this assumption then we will be apt to ex
perience the consequences ot our error, for it cannot be
denied that, in order to the-full success of our military
movements north of the Potomac, we must have the
support and co-operation of the people of Maryland,
cprtainl not their hostility. The accounts so fr seem
to be favorable, but they are only up to thre days af
ter the first of our troops had passed, and only the
very day after headquarters had been established on
Maryland sOil. , . ;
We clip the above from the Wilmington Journal,
and adopt its' sentiments. Our advance into Mary
land cannot certainly be regarded an invasion and
therefore it Can scarcely belaid that the war has as
yet assumed the aggressive character. Whether it is
to be made aggressive in reality, by occupying one or
more of the border free States depends entirely on the
increase of the army. If the army be not increased,
at once, we can't well see how our Generals can sus
tain themselves, against the overwhelming numbers
which the enemy is bringing into the field. "A stitch ;
in time area nine" is an old proverb, and as applies-
ble, we presume, to military as to other affairs. ; The
Administration has asked for 300,000 men to.enable
it to resist the aggressions of the enemy, and to carry
the war to.his own doors, transferring its horrors from
Southern soil, and Congress replies with long speech
es and useless debates.1, We ppeal to Cong: ess and
the people, now that our army is advancing in the
diiection of the enemy's country, whether it would
not be the true policy, to increaso it at once to such a
force as would enable it to carry on all its future op
erations at his own door Jv We have' chastised the en
emy and whipped him terribly- ; and if the Southern
people are1 true to themselves and uphold the hands
of their President by . furnishing men" for the active
prosecution of an offensive war; all the remaining
battles might easily be fought on Yankee soil.
' The Situation-A peep into the future.
The realities of the past are sufficiently astounding
to awaken speculation of the wildest sort. We prefer, .
however, to;coufiue ourselves to past and current
.movements of our own armies rather than anticipate
results which may never be realized. The warning
voice in the meantime, should never be hushed until
the' last gun which is to proclaim our independence
has been fired.. The immediate increase of our army
is a sine qua non of our success in the ensuing winter
campaign. Already the papers are predicting the
evacuation of Washington or a oreat' battle in Mary
land a military necessity. v7

'U.v Standard sesking to gratify its bitter, parti
.UK'but unprovoked malice, by persecuting one of the
best milibi ry oftioc'rs the State ever had. It assails
t fee Adjutant Gehcrafabout holding a plurality of ofii-
-ox' and urges him to resign ou the ground, among oth-
- r things, that Gov. Vance- is entitled to his oim Ad
jutant General. We doubt very much whether Gov.
Vance has authorized the" Standard to put in this plea
for Mm. ' If he is dissatisfied with the Adjutant Gen-
t-raV and wishes to have one of; his own, we think he
basandependence enough, as "Commander-in-Chief,
. iri s.vr n and also courteousness enough towards a
"brother" oflicjpr, not to call upon a newspaper hack to
do it for him. 1 '
We .happen to know that the office of Brigadier
General was earnestly urged Upon Gen. Martin by
' the highest military authority in the Confederacy, at
a time Wfim North Carolina was most seriously threat
ened by. the enemy. ' He accepted it only .because his
'o.rvtrf..aj the timR. in that -canaciiy. were deemed of
paramount importance to the South; We do not know
the fact, but we have the best of authority for faying
that, whcii the emergency passed; away, he immedw
atelv tendefed his resignation. Hqw the .matter stands
now we are unable to say, but ;ye are well assured
that when an investigation is had, the justness and
propriety of the Adjutant Geucral's course will be hon-
. t.rably vindicated. One, thing is certain, the service

ble demonstration of the disciplined and combined ic-
gion of the Ohio and the Potomac, which.with the ar- e
Biies of Northwestern Virginia, will be soon banded
together by a continuous and unbroken line ot com
munication. If Buell's army should be defeated and
dispersed, as is highly probable, then there would be
no organized army of the North to repel this invasion
of Ohio and Pennsylvania, except the army of Mc-

forced upon McClellan as a militaryjiecessity, it the
States of Ohio and Pennsylvania are to be defended.
He must either evacuate Washington and give up the
f Maryland, or he must leave Washington at
once with his army and confront Lee and fight the
rf-at battle for the Capital and tor Maryland upon
Marvhnd soil. The stake would seem too mighty to
be surrendered without a herce aua a oiooay strug
gle. Hence we conclude that, a great battle. is immi
nent in Maryland," which may decide her fate and
that of Washington and result in tne cessation ui
hostilities between the North and South. If correct
in these views then every absent officer and soldier
who desires to be in a battle involving such mighty
issues should at once repair to his post. Nothing but
absolute sickness will excuse those who belong to the

Gov. Graham "for party r purposes," and "for tne
sake of party." , ,
We do not intend to bore our readers by repelling
the lying accusations which the Standard's charac
teristic obliquity may see proper to bring, against us.
It has no political character at stake. It studies dn
ly to mislead the people, knowing that the truth is
inimical to its, interests.. It goes for "the greatest
good to the greatest number;' but, by an aarou
.mental reservation, holds that the greatest number
means number one. Hence Holden goes for himself
first, himself last, and himself all the" time, regardless
of truth and all its cognate principles. " ' . '
'The allegations contained in the Standard's', para
graph quoted above, are wifully and -preposterously
false.' The, Standard again and again, pending the
election, told the " Old Union men," they had the
strength, and invoked them to make no compromise
whatever with the ultra secessionists, but to vote them
down at the polls." Again and again did the Yankee
pape'rLcommend the Standard for it loyalty to the
old Union, re-publishing its articles verbkim to show
that they did not misrepresent it. On, 'one occasion,
the Philadelphia Inquirer quoted one of i Union ar
ticles, and plainly declared that, if Holden had ut-t
tered such sentiments in Richmond or Savannah, he
would have been hung. . We .copied the remarks of
the Yankee sheet at the time, and our readers cannot
have forgotten it. Before the war commenced, and
since it commenced, up to the very moment when
the Yankees were flogged and routed lelow Richmond,
the Standard published nothing but the most villain
nus Union sentiments'. The Yankee papers copied
"them and praised Holden, and only when the New
bern Yankee Progress found it was destroying Hol
ders Union influence, did that vile sheet change its
tactics, and, while it consented to dub .the Standard
as "a vile secession, sheet," it could not forego the
delight of praising Holden. " We have dozens of
Yankee papers ou file, proving the truth of all this,
which any gentleman may see by calling at our of
fice. We did say, perhaps, that the Northern papers
would claim the election of Gov. Vance as a Union
triumph, but-we also said that they would do so, only "
because ho was supported by the Standard. They
have claimed it as a Union triumph, and solely on the
ground that they regarded the Standard "as his prin
cipal organ and moith-pi"ece ; and of Us loyalty to
the Union cause, the had expressed their fullest as
surance. I But Gov. Vance has been ejected. His inaugural
has convinced the Yankees that the Stanford was
notauthorized to speak for him. So far as the Inau
gural goes, it diffors in ioto from all that the Standard
ever published. The Standard charges "Jeff Davis
1 and the cotton States" with having precipitated the
: war, and having shed the , first blood. fJov. Vance

Standard, and says the war was forced upon us by

TROM GEN. PRICES ARMY.
Mobile, $ept. 16. A special dispatch to the Even
ing News, from Tupelo, dated yesterday , says, Gen.
Price's army moved from Baldwin, Miss. Friday last
on forced' marches. ' A messenger just arrived Teports
that on Saturday afternoon, the advanced guard un
der Gen ."Armstrong, surprised and attacked the Yan
kees, 6,000 strong, at Iuka, driving them out of the
town, and taking 200 prisoners. Gen. Price, with the
main body, came up Sunday morning. The enemy
fled in the direction of Eastport, leaving in onr hands
$100,000 worth of stores, principally flour and salt.
General Price gave chase, and when last heard from
was seven miles behind the enemy.
An official dispatch received at the Department,
Richmond, confirms this news and says that Rosen
cranz having abandoned several hundred thousand
dollars worth of army stores at Iuka, had arrived with
part of his army at Nashville.
Gov. Vance's Inaugural-Spirit of the Press.'
, We continue to make quotations from the press of
the State oa Gov. Vance's inaugural. So far as they
have fallen under oar observation,-the "ultra seces
sion" papers are decidedly the best pleased. "The
Hillsboro' Recorder in the following paragraph is
notery exultant: .
The inauguration of Gov. Vance, with the usual
ceremonies, took place in the Capitol Square in the
city of Raleigh on Monday, the 8th inst. The oaths
of office were administered by Chief Justice Pearson.
The Governor's speech on the occasion was eloquent
J and patriotic, and seemed to give perfect satisfaction,
j A very large concourse of citizens were in attendance,
Sand a spirit of cordial gratulation appeared to auimate
the whole. .

following glowing remarks of the Charlotte Whigt, a.
strong Johnston paper :
We have Most risen from a perusal of Governor

Clay, once remarked, by way of-a taunt, that Mr.
City's mouth was large and- unseemly v to whom
another editor, Mr. Clay's sincere- advocate,, replied,

We say to -ur patrons, read Gov. Vance's inaugural ;

The Fayetteville Opseryer says : .; ';
The whole speech was indicative of a- modesty
which did not seek th high position, but at thasarae
' time of a will which wouid shrink, from no one otits

Death of Ilenfy W. Miller.
One by one the great minds of ihe .earth are trans
ferred to another sphere ; and they live to us, only in.
memory, for a time, and are then forgotten. Among
.'wuch 'minds may justly bo reckoned Henry W. Miller,
of this city, long and deservedly esteemed one of the
best lawyers and most-fluent orators in the State.
'He is now no more," as the common' phrase has it,
Buy Confederate bonds-Good advice.
The following sensible advice is copied from the
Richmond Enquirer and will commend itself to tho
serious consideration of every rational mind :
The report of the Secretary of the Treasury reveals
the fact that no very large amount has as yet been in
vested in Confederate bonds. At the same time money
is' very abundant, and the holders are spending it as
freely'as water. Not only are the highest prices paid
for necessaries, for which it seems there is no help, but r
superfluities are indulged in at whatever cost, so long
as money lasts. All ideas of economy and self-denial
seem to have been dismissed, and almost every one
seems impatient to spend whatever money.he may be
able to get hold of..
This course wilt5 prepare many bitter regrets and
much suffering for the future. Peace will bring with
it the burdens of taxation, iae debt which we are
contracting in the public defence will have to be paid,
and the people. will have to pay it, and they should,
as far as possible, provide lor mis.

act and affirmed it. should never have itslassent. Gov.
Vance declares himself fully in favor of the lawand
declares that by it the Confederacy. has been saved.
The Standard declared that the cotton States had no
cause for seceding, and consequently no right to with
draw from the Union. Gov. Vance clearly admits
i and boldly affirms that right. Gov. Vance, m these
vital particulars, differs in toto from the btand&rd
and agrees throughout with the ultra secessionists, a
large number of whom, we regret now to say, opposed
his election.. . ' ' .
It now falls to tho lot of the Standard to play the
hont-lick and hvDOcrite. aud to "endorse Governor
Vance's inaugural." It cannot help itself. It sub
mittedto the act of secession because secession was
a necessity, to which the people extorted from it a
reluctant obedience. It submitted to the conscript
law after it saw that it could -neither stir up sedition
in the country nor mutiny in the cam p. It endorses
the glowing secession inaugural of Gov. Vance, bo
cause it can't help itself; but that very submission
proves its editor a hypocrite and toady. )
We have no favors to ask of tiov, Vance nor ot
those who placed him in power. We ar e unconscious
of ever haying spoken or written a disrespectful word
concerning him, either as a private gentleman, a mil- I
itary officer, or a political candidate. He promises to
make an efficient Governor. He has it in his power
to do more for the State and the cause of the South .
than Col. Johnston, or even any "ultra secessionist'"
could have done. We believe he; will do it ; aud
palzied be the tongue and paralyzed the hand that .
would attempt to place obstructions in his path. For
onr own part, as his war policy pleases us prodigi
ously, we feel inclined to honor and praise him tem
perately; and if this disgruntles the Standard it must
only entreat Gov. Vance to desist from his true South
ern . policy that's Holden's only remedy. .We have
only to say, in conclusion, that we verily believe if
Holden were to persist in publishing his union senti
ments, endeavoriog to stir up discontent and mutiny
in the army, and resistance to the conscript law,- as he
has heretofote done, Gov; Vance would hang him as
high as Harnan. Holden knows on which side his
bread is buttered, and how to make a virtue of ne
cessity, and Gov. Vance may forgive, but cannot for
get, what Holden has said of him in days gone by.'
GOL. BRADLEY-T. JOHNSON'S ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE
OF MARYLAND.
This is also a soul-stirring document addressed by
Col. Johnson to his beloved, but crushed fellow-citizens.
It breathes a spirit of patriotism whigh will
kindle a flame in every loyal heart. We'liave only
room to-day for the last paragraph :
Remember the cells of Fort McHonry I Remember
the dungeons of Fort Lafayette and Fort Warren, the
insults to your wives and daughters, the arrests, the
midnig ht searches of your bouses 1 Remember these,
your wrongs, and rise at once in arms and strike for
liberty and right. .

Gen. Jackson was at, of near Martinsburg, Va. in
pursuit of the Yankees who were left in the Val

force of the enemy is variously estimated at rrorn
4,000 to 18,000. When this force is disposed or,
there will then be no enemy in our rear, and the un
