The Richmond Examiner says:'
"It was easy to 8b," long since, that tha Tankeea War

tha last fragment of the oki Uaion would be shivered to
pieoec It was easy even to prediofc -a boat what time
was civu war wouia cornmenco, namely, about t&e t&ne
when the Federal financea should break down and Con
gress should attempt the vast taxation which alone
could keep tha oonoern going. - It will therefore aurpriae
no person that the Governor of New York State has or
dered k draft of seventy-five thousand-wen expressly
and avowedly to fight a Federal army. General Dix,
federal commandant ot the caty, broke tna (State law by
invading forcibly the offices of two newspapere; tha
District Attorney prosecuted him, and a warrant was
iaaued for his arrest; -but he had acted under the order a
of President Lincoln; Lincoln, therelore, feeling bound
to sustain his officer, desires nun to disobey and resist
the warrant for ha arrest; and now, to enforce it, the
Governor calls out his seventy-five thousand men.
"It is impossible to avoid connecting this symptom of

'-We are inclined to think the selection of Mr.
Trenholm of Charleston to fill the place of Mr.
Memminger a most fortunate event for the Con
federacy.' He is a. member ithe leading spirit
of the great 'mercantile house of John Fraxier A
Co: When the war began, this house was worth
perhaps a million or more. ' It came forward' and
offered its credit without stint totthe government,
and even embarrassed Itself ."at one period by its
large advances.. It bought and imported for the
government the first arms procured in Europe; . it
commenced the blockade running business for the
oen eat ana at tne instance of the government.
Gradually that business grew in extent and impor
tance, so that, besides aiding the government in its
greatest time of need, the house has so prospered
that it is how estimated to be worth forty millions.
Mr. Trenholm is a gentleman of education, of de
cided ability, and of fine personal presence, we
suppose between 60 and 60 years of age. We
recollect the great impression be made by a abort
speech in one of the Commercial Conventions that
met in Charlestoa'SomeJlenor fiftofeh years ago. 'His
remarks were so sensible and cler and concise, and
so well delivered, that' it is' donbtfrl whether' any
other member of the Convention left so favorable an
Impression upon the body.

large sum of 33,247,079 64. . The expenses $l,637r
658 0L Net earnings $1,609,421 53. The gross
earnings are nearly donblo those of the preceding
year, and the profits greater by $590,678 37.
The principal items of income we re,' from passen

Thx TaxASONABLS Associatiom The Salisbury
Watchman sayB that Mr. Wm. A- Lyerly, of that
town, confesses that he was a member or this asso
ciation, bnt "has renounced it, believing it to be a
disloyal and mischievous organization. "The Watch
man says further that five other citizens called at
that office and left their names, having quit the un
clean thing. . They all profess that they were dei
ceived as to its real nature lad purposes, and mani
fest evident relief of mind in casting it on The
Editor has also received a letter, from a member in
Newton,, Catawba county, renouncing the whole
concern, which is very difierent; he says, from what
was represented to him at his initiation. ' .
'The Raleigh Oonfeddrate says that enunciations
continue to pour in; that the government has proof
as to some of the leading'Bpirits of the concern, and
will act as soon as the election is over.. It does not
choose to move before the election, for it will not
give to the tories and traitors a pretext for saying
that there was interference with the election.
We would advise the deluded members, whether
leaders or cot, to come forward at once and renounce
the association. , It . will be too lata to " escape
punishment after the arrests commence.; '
A Bad Ikvsstmkkt. Quite a stir appears to have
been made in Harnett county by the receipt at the
Post Office at Borclayville of two packages of "N,
C. Standard Extra, Raleigh, N C, July 12, 186V
each' package containing fife copies thereof, each
copy containing an address to Mr. Holden's "Fcilow
Citizens, and 40 Tickets for W. W. Ilolden for Got
vernor. The packages were addressed, in the fair
hand-writing of some one about the Standard office,
to "John Deane, BarclayviUe, N. CV and "David
Tucker, Barclayville, N, C," both' free mulaltota,
and one of them a minor at that! " On the packages
the postage was paid.' So that Mr. Holden is minus
10 Circulars, 400 Holden Tickets, and 10 cents in
cash. Rather an unprofitable invesfment! -We hate
received two letters from gentlemen at Barclayville,
enclosing the covers of the packages and copies
of the Extra. One of these letters says that Mr.
Holden will have to come and read his Extra to his
''colored brethren." aa they cannot read. Bnt he
don't think the accommodations in that section
would be very agreeable to Mr. Holden. a . ,
We suppose Mr. Holden has been fooled as to the
color of John' Deane and David Tucker, but the
thought arises,' does he send 'five extras and 200
tickets to each of his subscribers?. .Sappose he has
8,000 subscribers:. 40,000 Extras and 1,600,000
Tickets!! Jir. Holden must fancy that he is running
for the Presidency. We now understand what he
meant by his injunction to his friends to "rote, vote,
rote, .- . '''- K ,; ' "
A CAJroiDATU WTTHOTjt.A Naus. We have re
ceived an advertisement from near Petersburg from
some one who wishes to serve the people of Cnm-
Fixst Rsqikxst or Rxsiavxj The 1st and 6th
Battalions of the Junior Reserves have been thrown
together, making the 1st Regiment .of Reserves.
The Officers elected are: Colonel, F. S. Armistead;
Lieut. OoloneL a W. Broadloot; Major, W. McC
Clark. i -
CoL Armistead retains command of all the Re
serves in the field.
Holosji's SxcxflsioM Doctsism. It is said, (hat
there are still men, of some preteosioA to Intelligence,
who believe, ormffect to believe, thar Uotflm waa
not an original secessionist. Sch persons would
not believe If one were to arise from the- dead. Oawr
and over again have the paper in North Carolina,
(except of course the Standard and its echo,) copied
from the Standard's own colamns the violent seces
sion Editorials of Holden, covering the whole period
of ten years, from 1650 to 1860. If Holden was not
a secessionist, there never was one.- If h did not
labor to. bring on the disselntion of the Union, no
body ever did. If he did not tote for secession in
the Convention of the 20th of May 1861, nobody
voted for it, and tha State never acceded and there
has been no war. If he did not pledge "the last
dollar and the last man to carry on the war, nobody
did, and such a phrase w nerer heard of.
. Gxoss IxsrLX to Maaosst. Ths Raleigh Pro
gress labors through column of editorial to prove
that the treasonable association calling itself the
"Heroes of America, is like Masonry. "In what
does the H. O. A's differ from the Masons?" asks
the Progress. The question is a gross insult. Ma
sonry is a benevolent institution, without the slight
est connection with politics or governments The
Heroes of America are traitors, who make a secret
agreement with the enemy of their counjTy, to secure
their own lives and property at the expense of those
of their neighbors. . . .
Ma. Holdxjt's MoiAstxs. Mr. Holden at last
denies that he draw molasses from the State sup
plies for, bis press. He says that once, whea he
could get none in Raleigh, he bought a small quan
tity from the Stale rather than stop his press.
Ths object of th Liit ffaitt. The Washington
Chronicle of the 14th says editorially:
"The stiddea disappearance of the rebe!s from
before tie city, after aSctog to lay siege to it for
three days, can leave little doubt that Um object
was merely t- alivert attention, while th cavalry
were engaged in stealing horses 'and cattle, and re
moving them beyond the Potomac The absence of
considerable U. S. Cavalry force in this department
has enabled the' audacious rebels to carry on their
Elans with considerable success. It was next -to
npossible for infantry to watch their movements,
or to prevent their successful dashes upon the rail,
roads, while the rapidity of their movements, in small
