Of course its name will be the Daily Stale Journal, but that's of little consequence. It will be emphatically a newspaper. While the South is fighting not only in detente of all which its people arm incir uicnwn v?tt nirp,1 hv their industry, bat for their very existence, and all which can make existence tolerable, mere par ly politics is a grovelling theme, and can force itself only on the consideration otaordid, selfish mirtds.- Our political creed has undergone n o change whatever; but .while our country writhes in the throes of impending dissolution, universal peace nhould prevail among her sons, that they may enjoy the blessings " of Universal brotherhood. United we stand, divided wc fall. ' We are wading through a sea of terrible sufferings, through the gloom of which the distant shares oi tlie peaceuu naven re uut uiw- ' . i r 1 1..,. ly seen. .

Taking example from the roble spirits .who,are,fightii)g and bleeding-side by side on the gory field, few jarring notes of political discord shall disturb the hallowed' meditations of melancholy joy, or Hie mournful 'sadn jss.of bereaved anguish.

The winds which waft to .our eirs the tory of, defeat are but the winged messengers of our common sorrows, proclaiming, as thpy go, that the blood of all classes and creeds have flowed and mingled in a common stream. Fighting siife by side, expiring in their gore, or rejoicing in . ii c i ' i-i r .their triumph, the soIUiers oi me uonieueracy, are brothers1.

DcBosset was a brave and accomplished officer. We fearthe report is correct. - .. Highly. Gratifying. ' Tho old and tried friend of . the Southern Confed eracy, all over the State, cannot fail to contemplate with profound pleasure the salutary influence which the election of Goy.Vance U woiking in this State. If the change which it is producing in public senti ment, in other parts of the State, js only equal to that which is rapidly developing itself in Wake county, those who preferred, secession tosubmisson, and death' to slavery, have indeed reason to rejoice. "We have just reason for saying this, or we would not say it. It is not a subject for. jest or trifling. When Gov. Vance delivered bis Inaugural, and when he published his patriotic Proclamation, commanding militia . officers to bring all conscripts and, stragglers from the army into camp, we expressed unfeigned satisfaction, fu ly -believing and plainly declaring, in our opinion,- that it was in his oower to achieve, and he would achieve infinitely more, good for the harmony of the State, and for the Southern cause, than any other man who could have been elected. His Inaugural and Proclamation declared to the people that the aboniinable sentiments of the Standard had no place in his heart, and every true man in the State, who opposed his election, be gan to regret it. , We have now? before us a most convincing proof that we were not mistaken, in thus predicting the happy fruits of Gov. Vance's election. The meeting that nominated him in Wake county, was silent as death on the war. No man then jknew, nor was per mitted to judge, by anything which tbey said iti their Utaplations, whether they wererornMwar,4 Seven or eight meetings were held in as many coun ties in the State,by persons calling themselves Conser vatives, to nominate a candidate for Governor , but not f - , , ,- , . ,. . . i. ; ly, approving the war, or pledging their members to '( its vigorous prosecution.' t With great pleasure, we are now enabled to say, f behold, how changed 1 The good old Union men of Wake county have had their hearts operated on by the spirit "of Gov. Vance. They have seen their errors, are truly penitent and, seeing their days were evil, are redeeming the time. They had another meet ing in Raleigh, on last Saturday. What they did not venture to do, when they nominated a candidate for' .Governor, they boldly executed on thatday, when they ;. j assembled to nominate a candidate for the Legisla- i ture: Tbey passed a series of resolutions and, for the ' benefit of posterity, we put one of them on record. It js the first of its kind the very first ever hitherto j adopted at arjy meeting of old Union men in Wake I 'county, pledging its members to the prosecution of the war. Indeed we are inclined to believej it is the very first ever passed by this class of politicians, in any county in the State. - , It reads as follows : Resolved, That we congratulate the people of the State o'n the result of the late elections, by which CoL Vance was,made Governor and a Conservative Legis lature secured. We point with pride and satisfaction to the Inaugural speech of Gov. Vance, as embodying the sentiments and wishes of the whole people of this State in this great emergency ; and we pledge our-, selves, as heretofore, to wage the war in defence of our country as long as a hostile, foot is on our soil. That's a good resolution a patriotic resolve, which every one of our readers will be glad to; peruse. We are all one now,' and all for the war, and we owe it all to the election of Gov. Vance. 'Had Col. Johnston, and especially had an original secessionist, been elect ed, we have no reason to believe that that" resolution or anythioglike it, would ever have seen the light. But there is a Providence which shapes our ends, and though we do not believe that kings reign jure divi 710, we see in this resolution some of the happy fruits of Gov. Vance's election. " We venture to say the resolution beTore us is the first which its author ever penned, 'giving countenance or support to the war. But Gov. Vance's election is bearing bitter fruits also. The men who inaugurated this revolution, and have bared their breasts to the bullets of the foe, have already begun to be mercilessly proscribed. They can 'j -i i. ?i at. " : i endure it while the war lasts. We are taking: notes but nbt complaining. We will not begin the trade of growling, while patient silence can be construed into a'virtue. We will carefully note, from time to time, only puch acts of unjust proscription of original secessionists,' as may be deemed worthy of public attention. . ! ' Personal. Col. C. M. Avert. -We regret to learn that Col. C. M. Avery, 33d regiment, who, among others, was captured below Newbern, is still in a very feeble slate of health, mainly owing to the brutal treatment he received .from the Yankees while a prisoner. He is at present confined to his room endeavoring to restore -a shattered constitution in which, we trust, be-will, under Providence, finally succeed; His own bravery 'and that of his gallant command at ' Newbern, has been written in the blood of a barbarous foe, and should he recover his wonted health, he will avenge the cruelties to which' he was subjected in prison.. We regret also to learn that Captain Oscar II. IIaKd is also suffering, though not to the same extent, from the cause which has laid fiol. A. on abed of sickness. Feeole and amaciatcd as dpt. It. is, wo Jearn that he has gone to Richmond and reported for duty, still anxious to avenge his own prison wrongs and the dire sufferings of his bleeding country. Capt. R. is now a candidate for the Commons in this coun ty, not, however of his own seeking, and we repro-j ducejhe tribute paid to his personal valor by Gover nor Vance, theu Colonel of the regiment, to show that be deserves the position and heeds the respite from military toils which his friends desire to bestow . upon him! In his report of the battle-, Gov. Vanpe says: , "The fate of Capt. Rand, of Co. D., is as yet un known. When last seen he was almost surrounded by a large force, but disdaining to fly orsurrender, he was fighting desperately with Lieut. Vicson and a. large portion of bis company who refused to leave him." Col. W. G. Robinson. 1 he numerous friends of Col. W. G! Robinson, 19th Regiment N. C. T., (cav alry) will be glad to learn that he is entirely restored to health but, we regret to learn, he is likely to be doomed to;a life of perpetual lameness. Our readers will remember that he was wounded and captured by the Yankees last April, at Gilleifs, in Jones county, while leading a charge on a thieving party of the scoundrels, who had then in their possession a very large amount or stolen property. He has just return ed from a short sojourn at Piedmont Springs, whither he went for bis health on his return from prison. He was then much emaciated and feeble, like all of our noble sons who have passed through Yankee prisons, but he has regained his flesh and his strength and seems hale and hearty as usual, the unfortunate laine- ness only excepted. He has gone on to Richmond, but for what purpose remains to be seen. In common vyith thousands of our-noblo young heroes, he will car ry to the grave the marks of hi patriotism and cou rage, but the unjust treatment to which be has been subjected on l he part of interebted and - incompetent persons, is the only token of approbation to which he can now point. He js cleerful and indeptndeni. Another Brilliant Victory. We learn from the official report of Gen. Lee, that on the 1st inst. a large Yankee force, with six pieces of artillery, were diiven back across the Potomac by ours forces under Gen. Stuart; night saving thecrfrom utter route. Our less was slight. . - - Latest News by the Mails. I Full details of the. sanguinary truggle at Corinth will be found in to-day's paper. We have undoubtedly a suffered a serious reverse, but by no means so dkaW trous a one as was at fkst reported. . Our troops fought almost supernaturally against fearful odds; and are en titled to the gratitude and thanks of the "Confedera cy, the more so as after all their heroio efforts they are smartingnnder the mortification of a repulse. Let the people hurrah for the gallant fellows, and be not cast down.. This is the first reverse amongst scores of great successes. , - - - ; ; ; Nothing whatever , from our army on the Poto mac. .'. Therewas quite a brilliant little affair on tb,e Black water River," in Southampton County, Virginia on the morning of .the 3d inst., between Col. Marshall, Who commanded th'e Confederates, and the Yankee gun boats. Three gunboats -opened the attack fey'dis charges of shot and shell. They were replied to with effect by Graham's battery. Our sharpshooters, coni-; manded by Col Ferrebee, and who Vem 'concealed along the bank, also fired upon the - crews with such success, that riot a man could show himself). After suT feriog heavy loss, the gunboats fell down the. rier. On the afternoon of the same day, the enemy VfcTces at Suffolk renewed the attack on Col. Marshall, but were repulsed by GrahamV artillery and Wright's rocket battery. r "".c, ; - The Ricbmond Dispatch, after'an examination of the official and authentic reports of the bite battles, says that our loss in killed and wounded, fromv the Rapidan to Harper's Ferry, was 11,500, and that our loss at Sharpsbarg was 5,000; "It states the losses of ... . the enemy ;as follows : From the Rapidan to 30th August, Battle 30th August, Battle 14th September, Battle of Sharpsburg, Battle with A.

A special dispatch to the Adoer-. tiser and Register, dated Tupelo 7f ,says : - Having driven in the enemy's skirmishers, thecorabined forces of Van Dorn and Price attacked them id their entrench ments at 9 a. rcu Friday, driving them out and Cap turing 90 pieces of artillery, and continued repulsing them slowly, driving them back until night. Our loss . was heavy during the day Phifer's and Green's bri gades suffering the most. I Gen.' Martin was killed Cols. Missheld and Irwin of Missouri, seriously wounded. At 4 o'clock Satur day morning, the enemy opened with heavy artillery, occasioning small loss. At 8 o'clock we advanced, cap turing several seige guns. Green's brigade again suf fered heavily, and was the first to enter town. Cab ell's brigade charged the fort on College Hill. The enemy reserved fire until within thirty yards, then opened a murderous fire. repulsing the brigade with great loss. Information was received that the. enemy at Bolivar, 20,000 strong, was marching via Pdchahontas, on our rear. The retreat was ordered at 10 A. M,, being somwhat disorderly, but bringing off part of the captured articles and our wounded and baggage ; tell back ten miles, to Cypress creels. , At 8 o'clock Sunday morning,. the columns com-- menced skirmishing-with the Yankee Bolivar force at Pochahontas', and fell back one mile, when wc were reinforced by Whitfield's legion and a section of ar tillery, and afterward b Manney's division, which was also reinforced. But the whole of this force-. proved insufficient, and we were driven back, the enemy burning the bridges and entrapping Moore's brigade and 4 pieces of artillery. Van Dorn and Villipigue coming up recaptured Moore's brigade with the brigade of their capi'ors and 13 guns. ' The enemy were then driven back to Matamoras, . and our army continued their retr.-at over the Ripley road, over which our baggage trams had passed. Our loss in all the engagements is estimated at five thousand, and that of the enemy is much heavier. The loss at Pocahontas was equal to that at Grinth. Oar loss may be!over-est;i mated, as st.ugglsrs were ' numbered by tho thousands and the retreat was not' very orderly. We lost four pieces of artillery. We captured 350 prisoners at Corinth, who weie brought off. , ' The enemy made no attempt to follow us from Co rinth, nor did the Bolivar force, after their defeat at Davis' -bridge. Van Dorn was conspicuous for his daring, and Price, as usual, was at home -amidst the leaden shower. Neither were heart. Price's cobi - mand was the first in the entrenchments. Manney's division suffered the heaviest loss. Gen. Cabell sus tained a severe loss, but acted most gallantly. The enemy fought determinedly, arid were ma noeuvred splendidly. Rosencranz was in command. Our army is perfectly safe, and no fears are entertain ed of being followed by the crippled force of the Yankees. We will be perfectly organized and ready for another combat soon. The killing ol Cols. Ro gers and Adams and Gen. Moore is contradicted. Lieut.. Sam. Farrington, of Capt. Wade's battery of St. Louis, is among the killed. He fellin the heat of battle, nobly discharging a soldior s duty. FROM CORIKTH AND KENTUCKY YANKEE ACCOUNTS. Richmond, Oct. 8.Northern papers received here. The New York Herald of Monday, the 6th, contains despatches from ths West claiming a great victory at Corinth. . On Saturday morning, according" to the Herald, Gen. Price attacked Rosencrans' right, while Genera!s; Van Doru and Lovell, attacked his left. The assault was made with great determination. Vari Dorn led. his column over an abattis on the left up to within fifty yards of a ditch. They were exposed all the time to a scathing fire of grape and cannister such as nfbrtal man could not stand and were driven back. , Gen. Hackleman was killed, and Gen. Oglesby dan gerously wounded. (Here are a couple of "Yankee Brigadiers of whom we never heard before.) FROM KENTUCKY. ' Dispatches from Kentucky state that Gen. Bragg evacuated Bardstown on the 4th. Crittenden's corps are in pursuit of the rebels. - Bragg was moving towards Lexington. the negro administration a failure.' The Herald editorially pronounces the administra tion of old Abe a failure, and vehemently, opposes iho election of Wadsworth, the negro candihate for Gov ernor. It says that the Constitution once so sacred in American eyes is no longer regarded as better than the propheeies of an old almanac. INTERESTING FROM TENNESSEE Hon. T. A. R.

It will be remembered that on th 30th I of llst APril, tlie Convention, then in its fourth ses- sion, passed a resolution to adjourn subject to the call of the President or, in the event of ' his dath, of the call of I not riu .i. r-. .. . . . ' , , , V T' -i '- V ?b0"' i l,n to stand dissolved. . .u . . ' . ' ,. etter or . aa tt- i.. 'u . m vtcoitc uiiu me oouveniiou snouiu be recalled." He decli'neVto re-call the Oon vention to-' gether. His reasons are forcible and conclusive. ' If the object be to amend the Constitution, he replies that there is reason Jo believe that all further action to that j end was abandoned by the Convention itself, other wise it would have adjourned to some named day, as il did on former, occasions, aud not have left it as' a matter of discretion with its presiding officer, or" his alternates, to call it together or not as thry might think proper." 15 for mere purposes of legislation, he says ''the General Assembly has ample authority to do eve rything which the crisis may demand." These reasons are set out ably and at length, and President Edwards in conclusion says, "from tho best information I hare been able to obtain, public opinion neither demands nor would approve" another session of the Convent! n. (President Edwards says truly when he says the people neither desire nor would approve another ses sion, and those who 'would inflict upori the State such an additional calamity, would be held to a fear ful responsibility. The Convention, then, thank heaven, is dead 1 The people may now breathe freely. It was a most despicable body, and. the dominant faction which controlled it will labor long before they can shake from' them "the odium which attaches to it. It lived without honor or pro fit to the State, except in the passage of the Act of Secession. Had it adjourned,, as was expected of it, after the passage of that single act, with the act ac companying it, taking the State into the Southern Confederacy, it would b an honor to have belonged to such a body. But it has died without regret and with rejoicing, and.no greater reproach can attach to a man than to say of him, he wa a member Convention and was in the majority. In our next we will publish the President's com munication. J? Lt. J.

Near Mariana, Florida, Sept. 26th, at the residence of Mr. Thomas Barnes, John Cottox, infant son of W. ,D. and A C. Barnes, aged nine months and eighteen dayg. Death of Lieut. Benjamin H. Davidson. Lieut. Davidson was a native of Mecklenburc conntj, a member of company D, 7. h Regiment N. C. Troops, and fell mortally wounded in the bloody battle of Sharpsburg, Maryland. lie suffered intensely with his wound until the 22d ult.,when death came to his relief. He was fully conscious from the date arid nature of his wound that there was no hope of recovery. He died in this beantifnUnland city, in the midst of strangers, but not without the prea ence of many true and sympathetic hearts, ministering- to each want. None save those who hare experienced the hospitalitv and sympathy extended by the citizens of this plaj e to the many wounded, can form any appreciation of their generosity and nobleness of heart. Lieut. D. was in all the battles around Richmond, and , received a slight wound in the foot at Gains' Mills, not of sufficient importance to prevent hint from duty. He died calmly and perfectly self-pwssessed, retaining his reason to the last moment of hii life. His last expression was a 'pf ayer. He hag gone, we trust, from this world of war and strue, to another ot never-ending peace and happiness. t7 Another name has been added to tliat long list of North Carolina s sons, wnose niooa Has been so treely poured out in this wicked, vindicitive war.

The subject of this brief memoir was born in the county of Green, State of North Carolina, on the 2nd of May, 1841, He was endowed with many amiable qualities of mind'and disposition which always render the youth re spected and beloved.- In childhood; to his playmates he was kind hearted and generous, to his brothers and lis ters he was affectionate, and to his parents he was obedi ent; " How sad it is to chronicle th death of one who bid so fair to be useful in his day and generation, and around whom so many bright hopes were centered; but however sad it may be, such are the fortunes of war, that one whom we loved is no more. - Immediately after the outbreak of difficulties between the North ana South, Arthur, in obedience U the dictates of patriotism and of duty, flew to the, vindication' of his countrv's honor. He enlisted as a private i i Captain Drysdale's company, was afterwards appointed 3rd Ser geant. " The tympany was attached to the third regiment N. C.

He was soon nrometed to the position of Orderly Sergeant of his com pany, which position he filled with great credit to himself, and to the entire satisfaction 6f all the officers of the regi ment.
