McClelltn's position Our forces Curtis captured by Hindman, with 8,000 prisoner Brilliant feat of the ram Arkansas CoL Morgan again at work, -! McCIellan's army is still at Berkeley, Westover and Charles City Court House, all on James River, protected by gunboats and land batteries. He is said to have a hot time about now. No early change in his position is anticipated. Yankee forces and marauding parties are in the neighborhood of Culpepper Court House, and they are committing depredations in Isle of Wight, Ya. In Norfolk, Memphis and New Orleans, Yankee despotism reigns. All families connected with persons in the Confed - erate service, have been ordered from Memphis. The movements of our forces about Richmond are properly kept from the public; but it appears that arrangements are nearly complete for early opera tions. ' All stragglers and absentees from the army are ordered into camp at once, and our soldier con scripts are to be immediately transferred to compa nies to fill up. The good tidings from Gen. Hindman in Arkan sas has been confirmed. It is said that he has cap tured Gen. Curtis' entire force, consisting of 8,000 prisoners, &c The officers were retained but the men were paroled. Yicksburg gallantly holds out The City has sufiered somewhat from the bombardment, but the enemy's vessels have been damaged, 'v"e have intelligence of a most brilliant feat per formed by the Confederate ram, Arkansas, which as built at Memphis, and before the capture of that place escaped up the Yazoo river, and was complet ed. She was commanded by the gallant Lt Brown. On the 15th inst she came out of Yazoo river en route for Yicksburg. She encountered four iron clad vessels, two sloops of war, four gunboats and seven rams. She drove one iron-clad vessel ashore, blew up a ram, burned one vessel and damaged sev eral others, and got safely under our guns at Vicks burg, with a loss of 10 killed, 15 wounded, and the vessel but slightly damaged. This shows what cool courage can do. It was a second Merrimac affair. We hope not to hear of her playing the same game of the Merrimac as a finale to her victory. CoL Morgan has made another dash into Ken tucky, killing, wounding and capturing about 104 of a Pennsylvania regiment, with the loss of only two wounded. The whole camp, stores, &c., of the enemy fell into CoL Morgan's hands. A few days before he had surprised 3(30 Federal cavalry, and captured 30, besides wounding 25. There is nothing new from Buell's movements, or from our forces in-East Tennessee. Every body will be gratified to learn that negoti ations are now in progress with the Federals in Mc CIellan's camp for a general exchange of prisoners. Maj. Gen. D. H. Hill, of this State, conducts the negotiation on the Confederate side. " Vance Tickets. Vance Tickets can be had at this office at $1 per thousand and the postage. The postage is 20 cents per thousand. Granville Couxty. We are authorized by a friend to announce that the people of Granville will support the following ticket for the Legislature: For the Senate, James S. Amis, Esq. For the Com mons, Hon. Robert B. Gilliam, R. V. Lassiter, Esq., and Capt Eugene Grissom. This is an excellent ticket The gentlemen named are all worthy, and conservative in their views. While we do not in tend to disparage others in the slightest degree, we arc especially gratified to learn that Mr. Gilliam has consented to serve the people, if elected. The State stand much in need of the services of such men as he is. W Y.aA the treasure of a visit a day or two since, from Sergeant W. H. Hamilton, of the Oak City Guards, who was wounded and taken prison er in th hattle of Williamsburg. Sergeant Hamil ton was struck with a Minnie ball, which destroyed i 1 vt both his eyes. He informs us mat ne was amaiy treated while a prisoner at Fortress Monroe. His recovery is regarded as little less than a miracle. He was Daroled. and sent through our lines under a flag of truce. Sergeant H. was one of the best soldiers in the 14th regiment He has many friends in this communitv who deeply sympathize with him and his family in his great affliction of loss of vision ; but he seems cheerful, and does not regret that he perilled bis life ana lost nts eyesignt in me service of bis country. Bcrsside. There appears to be no doubt that but a very small portion of Burnside's troops or shipping are now in the Eastern counties of this State. The greater portion have joined McCIellan's army and the fleet on James River. . If the Richmond Enquirer is really anxious that the Northern people should understand that there is no Union sentiment in North-Carolina, let it withdraw from the support of Mr. Johnston for Governor, and at least treat CoL Vance with fairness and justice in this contest CoL Vance represents the old Union men of this State. He has been twelve months in the army, and he has staked his life near Richmond for Southern independence. What stronger proof could Mr. Lincoln want, or Mr. Stanly want, that there is no Union feeling in this State, than would be fur nished by the election to the office of Governor' of such a man T Has the Enquirer taken this view of the matter? ("ft III IB1 III II MB III III III Vol. XXVIII. No. 30. RA The Richmond Enquirer and Col. Vance. '' The Enquirer, in a recent article, the evident ob ject of which is to injure CoL Vance with the North- Carolina soldiers, copied from a. paper printed in this City to show that the friends of CoL Vance are responsible for party strife in this State. The firs'; sentence in the extract thus made by the Enquirer, contains a wicked and deliberate falsehood, as fol lows : "CoL Johnston was selected as a candidate, hv the spontaneous approval of his fitness for the office by the whole press of the State, one paper only ex cepted." We repeat, the foregoing statement is false, and it was known to be so when made. CoL Johnston was nominated for Governor in a little moeting held in his own town, which he himself attended. Af ter this a few papers in the State signified their willingness to support him for Governor ; bat the majority of the press, with the Standard, either took ground against him or were silent As soon as the Standard raised the name of Col. Vance, and not before, the Register of this City, and the paper from which the Enquirer copies, raised that of Mr. Johnston. This backwardness on the part of these two journals shows that even they were not anxious to support Mr. Johnston; but, as the time was short, as they could do no better, and as the course of the Standard in raising the name of CoL Vance required promptaction, they then raised Mr. John ston's name. We expected this ; and one reason why we were so prompt to raise CoL Vance's name as soon as we knew he would consent to be a can didate, was that these journals might be forced, as they were, to go for Johnston. This was what we wanted, for we knew how weak he was, and how easily he could be beaten. The Enquirer will perceive from this that both the Register and the paper, from which it copies, instead of going cheerfully for Mr. Johnston, were driven by us to his support And yet the paper from which the Enquirer copies, has the audacity to say that Mr. Johnston " was selected as a can didate by the spontaneous approval of his fitness for the office, by the whole press of the State, one pa per only excepted." A more glaring falsehood was never uttered. We now say to the Enquirer, as it seems to take deep interest in North-Carolina politics, that Mr. Johnston is not at all qualified to manage the helm of State in a crisis like the present He has been at the bar for more than twenty-five years, and has made no reputation beyond that of a County Court lawyer. There are at leasttwenty-five thousand of our citizens who are as well fitted for the office of Governor as he is. He was selected as a candidate by a faction, who thought, because he had been an old ine Whig, they could secure for him the support of the old line Whigs, and, because he was an ac tive and proscriptive secessionist, they could secure for him the great bulk of the old Democratic party. But this calculation will fail CoL Vance will lead him by at least 20,000 majority. We go further, and say to the Enquirer, that when Lincoln's proclamation appeared, the old Union men of this State, who numbered about 70, 000 of the 112,000 voters of the State, and who had belonged to both the old parties, went forward as one man and offered to co-operate with the original secessionists in prosecuting the war and establish ing Southern independence. They did this prompt ly and cheerfully, under an impulse of duty and patriotism. But the State government was in the hands of the original secessionists ; and from that day to this, as a general rule, these same old Union men, though they have contributed without stint their blood and treasure to the common cause, have been proscribed and hunted down, debarred from all important offices, and charged, in many in stances, without the shadow of cause or proof, with being enemies to their native land. In vain have they expressed their surprise, their mortification, and their indignation at such treatment Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels, Captains, Lieutenants, Sur geons, and even Chaplains of regiments, by scores. have been appointed over them, solely because they were secessionists. The offices and patronage of the State, with its honors both civil and military, have been bestowed upon a favored few ; and that, too while the t iunders of battle are in our ears, and while old Union men by thousands have been bravin" disease and death in defence of common rights. It is not true, as intimated by the Enqui rer, that the old Union men are influenced by a de sire for office, or that any of them are laboring un der "supposed slights to their ambitions." It is not office they want, luf. the admission at the hands of their opponents that they are worthy of it. They are determined that no record shall be made against them in history which will cause their de scendants to blush for them, or which shall leave the impression that they stood by in silence, when under the ban, and permitted themselves to bo written down as disloyal or suspected persons. Eight months ago, they told those who bad power in this Slate that unless they ceased this unnatural proscription they would appeal to the people against them. They have not ceased it, and the appeal is now made. It is not made for or to party, but against party. It will succeed. The people of the Stale will take their own affairs into their own hands, and will inaugurate and carry out that re form, which, in many respects, is so much needed. The conservatives, so far from constituting a party, are the most decided opponents of party. Their great object is to destroy party, to proscribe pro scription, and to so reform the State government as to render it not only more economical and just in its operations at home, but a more efficient ally, if pos sible, than it has been of the common government in prosecuting the war. , The Enquirer, and those for whom it speaks, are opposed to CoL Vance because he was an old Whig and refused to go for secession until Lincoln's proc lamation. . That paper .is still laboring under the delusion that there, is a Democratic party. We know this to be so. It is the secret talk in govern ment circles both in Raleigh and Richmond. Now, the Democratic party was destroyed at Charleston and Baltimore, and the Enquirer aided in destroying it The faction that remains, and with which the Enauirer acts, is of the ultra Calhoun and Rhett school ; but the old Jackson and Polk Democrats of this State are, in nine cases outot ten, conservatives and Vance men,. having been, with him, Union men np to Lincoln's proclamation. - ' We trust the Enquirer has concluded its lecture to the people and the soldiers of this State. We have all read the lecture, and we feel as grateful for ayy LEIfiH. N. C.i WEMES it as circumstances will permit We still think, however, that we are competent to govern ourselves; and we trust the day will never come when we shall have to look to Richmond, or to any other point, to know how we ought to vote. We are quite willing to send our brave boys to stand like a wall of fire around Richmond in defence of the common liber-" ties, but it is no part of the bond 'that we'shall at the satne ttmo surrender the privilege which we have always enjoyed, of thinking and voting for ourselves. If President Davis and the officials who surround him, entertain the opinion that the elec tion of CoL Vance would embarrass his administra tion, we reply-that they are simply mistaken; but even if it were otherwise, Korth- Carolina is a sov ereign, and has a right to do as she pleases. At any rate, her people will not submit to dictation from any quarter. They want a Governor of their own, and not one selected for them by Virginia and South-Carolina politicians. Mb. Miller's Position. We invite the attention ot our readers, and especially that of the people of Wake, to the letters of Henry W. Miller, Esq.,- pub lished in the Standard to day. Mr. Miller has un dergone no change in sentiment or purpose, since, those letters were written. In our next we shall refer to these letters again, and give a briof sketch of the course of the Union men of this State from the Presidential election of 1860 to the present time. This sketch will show, what every honest man will admit, that the old Union men have been the truest of the true to their country in the day of triaL Speeches by the Candidates. One of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings which we have seen for many a day, was held in this City on Wednesday night last, and was ad dressed by the Conservative and Reform candidates for the Legislature in this County. Col. Russ, the candidate for the Senate, led off and entertained the audience for some half hour with a pointed and interesting speech. He alluded to, and disposed of several charges already started against him to injure his election. He told the au dience, and referred to his acts to prove, that he had been active from the first in promoting the war, though he had labored to save the Union up to Lin coln's proclamation ; and he declared that he would take nothing less than the absolute independence of the South. He was against the re construction of the Union, now or hereafter. CoL Russ was followed by William Laws and G. H. Alford, Esquires, who briefly declared them selves candidates for the House of Commons. Mr. Alford referred to a change preferred against him by a depraved press in tlm City, to wit, that he had persuaded the young men in his neighborhood not to volunteer. This charge he pronounced utter ly false. Every decent man in the County knows it is false. It was conceived and started by the d praved paper referred to, solely for the purpose of injuring Mr. Alford with the soldiers from this County. Henry W. Miller, Esq., then rose and declared himself a candidate for the Commons, and proceed ed to deliver one of the ablest and most impressive speeches of his lfTe. His allusions to the causes and progress of tho difficulties between the North and the South his vindication of the sagacity, in- " tegrity and patriotism of the old Union men, and bis denunciations of tho mean and pestilent spirits who question their loyalty his declaration of his purpose, founded on the reasons he gave, to advo ' catc the war as long as the foot of the invader is on our soil, and to accept nothing less as the result of the war than the complete and unqualified indepen dence of the Confederate States his vindication of Constitutional liberty, and the expression of his de termination to insist on the most sacred respect for the Constitution, even in the midst of war, as the surest, if not the only means of transmitting to our children the liberties to be won in this great strug gle his explanation and denunciation of martial law, when imposed without an absolute necessity for it, and his allusion to Col. Vance, as the candi date of the people for Governor, and the certainty of his triumphant election were all well conceiv ed, remarkably well expressed, and produced the deepest impression on the audience. He ridiculed, too, amid roars of laughter, the claim set up by cer tain candidates in this County as Confederate can didates. We wish every man, woman and child in the State could have heard the speech. The campaign was opened regularly in this Coun ty, at Aubutn, on Thursday last We entertain no doubt of the election of the Conservative ticket by a large majority. Haywood County. A correspondent of the Hen derson Time gives an amusing account of a Stall federate meeting in Haywood, which was evidently a flash in the pan. It was managed by CoL R. G. A. and Dr. Samuel L. Love. It went through tho farce of appointing some old line Democrats and some old line Whigs on the commiteee, all of whom were no doubt proscriptive secessionists, or the al lies of such. No opposition could be started to the Rev. C. D. Smith, for Senator, who will be elec ted, no matter what is said or done against bim ; but Dr. S. L. Love was at length nominated for the Commons in Haywood. The Doctor " made a speech against W. W. Holden and the Standard, and in favor of Mr. Johnston for Governor." The. corres pondent say 8 the people in the meeting were for Vance, and this is shown by the fact that the Doc tor feared to assail him, but expended his wrath on Holden. We see what the Doctor, is after. He wants us to write him into notoriety. We decline to do it; but we tell the people of Haywood if they want a representative who will reflect the wishes of a few Slallfederate leaders about Raleigh, instead of their own, let them elect the Doctor. ' Mr. Vance has his spurs yet to ynn.WUming ton Journal. ." CoL Vance went into the war on foot, without spurs. The boys who elected him their Colonel gave him his spurs, and he has not disgraced them by riding ont.of the battle before it was over. What sort of spurs had Gen. Branch won when he was appointed a Brigadier ? He was appointed because he was a partizan, before he could drill a squad ; but CoL Vance has received no promotion at the hands of the authorities, because he was an old Union man.? Both volunteered on foot Gen. Branch was placed on horseback when tho bare idea of preparing spurs for him was considered ridicu lous ; CoL Vance was kept on foot until th people 1 told him to go np higher. ' - DAT. JULY 23. 1862.' Who arc the Traitors t , . If such newspapers as the Raleigh Register, State Journal, Wilmington Journal, Charlotte Democrat, Winston Sentinel, Asbeville News, Iredell Express, Newbern Progress, New York Herald, Greely's Tri bune, Philadelphia Inquirer and such like, are the true exponents of public opinion in North Carolina politics and public feeling in the State, then the public are bound to admit that this State is a hot bed of Lincolnism. Citizens of North-Carolina conservative men of all parties do you plead guilty to the charge ? Is it true is ono word of it true, that you 75,000 old Union men opposed to disunion before Lincoln's proclamation, but who sprung at that moment from the seaboard to the mountains to resis.t his tyranny, that you are traitors ? Are the thousands of your ' gallant sons and brothers who are baring their bo soms to the foe for Southern rights, traitors? Is the gallant Vance, now your standard bearer, who leads a regiment of your brave sons to victory, a traitor ? No! no I God knows they are not, and you know it, and the miserable lying miscreants who hint it and say it, know it is not so. But why do those Northern papers above men tioned keep up tho sry that there is a strong Union feeling in North-Carolina? Why do they affirm that there is much Lincoln sympathy in North-Carolina? How do they know? Has the Standard ever said so ? Has a single conservative or conserva tive paper in the State, admitted this villianous charge to be true? NotatalL Why the reason is obvious. Some of the State papers above named, conducted by foreigners, not natives of the State, have made the charge time and again, and others have been recreant enough to their own State to endorse the libel. These papers have been sent into Yankeedom to make this impression, and the results of their own course have been charged upon the Standard. Not a word has ever appeared in the Standard showing that there was Lincoln sym pathy in North-Carolina. Its columns would nail the base calumny to the counter, and our enemies know it Who, then, are the real traitors in North-Carolina ? Who have given "aid and comfort" to the enemy ? .Are they not those who have labored to fix the "hideous mark." upon our people? Do they not give "aid and comfort" to the enemy by such slan ders upon our people ? . Citizens of North-Carolina conservative men, you have borne it long enough. Put down the slanderers at the ballot-box. Rally to the support of the gallant Vance. Bring out your true men and your strong men for the Legislature all over the State, and vindicate your honor, your rights, and your bleeding country. Voting of the Conscripts. Large numbers of conscript soldiers are hurrying to tho camps at Crabtree, near this City, and to the camp at Statesville. Perhaps before the day of election, the 31st inst, there will be from 7 to 10,000 men gathered at each camp. If they could have been permitted to remain at home three or four weeks longer, they could have secured their crops and have discharged the high privilege of voting in all cases at the approaching election. The Conven tion could not have anticipated such a collection of citizens into camps of instruction at this juncture, and hence, did not see the necessity of making any special provision in the case. Those citizens, although conscript soldiers, desire no doubt to exercise the privilege of voting. They ought not to be deprived of that privilege, if it can be avoided. We call the attention of Maj. Mallett at once to this subject Let the necessary arrange ments be made, if it can be done, to meet the intention of the law of the State. - Major Mallett, as well as all concerned, will see the necessity and propriety of this suggestion. Salt t Salt II We see an article in our exchanges copied from Gov. Clark's organ, assuring the people of North Carolina that the Governor has made arrangements by which he hopes to obtain for the people of the State an ample supply of salt in due season. If this statement be based upon a solid footing, and the supply of salt will be ample, seasonable and at a moderate price for the times, the people will be grateful to Gov. Clark for making the provision. But a statement of this kind, to be entirely satis factory to the people, and set them at rest in regard to the supply of salt, should give the facts the proper data upon which to base a solid expectation. Our people must have salt in proper season, and on the best terms possible. Now, what are Gov. Clark's calculations based upon? We are not aware that the law authorizes him to engage in any new scheme to obtain a supply of salt, yet the peo ple would hold him guiltless of any breach of the law, if he should succeed in obtaining the salt We learn the State Salt Commissioner is making about 250 bushels per week, and that it is sold to the Counties at $3 50 per busheL This source will not alford more than one-tenth the quantity of salt needed. We have heard of no success in the .West in obtaining salt by State enterprise. Private fac tors are producing salt which may be obtained by Counties at $7 50. It will be seen, therefore, that they must have some other reliance. But the peo ple want to be sure of it now. It is proper, there fore, that Gov. Clark should let the people know at . an early day where they can get Salt when they can get it-rin what quantity it can be afforded, and at what price. The Wilmington Journal is still insinuating that the Standard and the old Union men generally are untrue to the South. Has the Editor of the Journal ever explaroed how it was that he did work for Seward and Lincoln, after Lincoln's proclamation, and after this State was virtually out of the Union, for which work he demanded his pay in Federal gold? Mr. Respess was arrested, and sent to Rich mond and tried, fbt a somewhat similar offence. Why is the Journal not dealt with ? We will tell you, good reader, the Journal might do much worse, and nothing would be said or done, for all original secessionists and their minions who work for the party, are privileged characters. Treason in an old Union man is commendable or allowable conduct in them.- . . ' , t"--... Gkn. BaaoitsaARD. We Are glad to learn that ' the .recent report of the death of Gen.

V - 5 "Te the pleasure of layiitg before our read ers to-day, the letter written about the 1st of June ?i 7r ? Gerge K BdS. of this City, ted through Mr. Stanly at Newbern, and read by him. We are authorized to say that Mr. Badger has consented to publish the letter at the request ot a friend, in whose attachment to himself and in the soundness of whose judgment he has every confi-dence-especially as this request was accompanied by a suggestion on the subject which had not occur red to Mr. Badger before; but which was decisive with him in forming his purpose to give the letter to the public: .E' :"Tln your letter to Mr- Stanly, you pro posed to him he office of cherishing the feeling of Unionism in North-Carolina, and as that letter came to my hands in an unsealed envelope, directed to my wife, I take the liberty of setting you rieht upon a fact, and showing you what a hopeless task -you have suggested to Mr. Stanly. There is in North-Carolina no Union feeling as you suppose, and as is probably supposed by the generality of Northern men. There was in this State a very strong Union feeling a strong love for the Union established bv nur fnrp fathom wk;A : v""vio n u:tU in- duced the people, by a very large and overwhelmin" majority, to vote down the purpose of seceding from the Union on account of Mr. Lincoln's election; and this was represented by immediate secessionists here as proving that the Union men here were base submissiomsts, ready to submit to any injury or in sult, rather than resist wrong, and stand in defence of our rights and honor. But as soon as Mr. Lin coln s proclamation of April, 1861, appeared, offer ing us the. alternative of joining in an armed inva sion of our Southern sister States for their subjuga tion, under the pretence of executing the laws, or resistance to the authorities of the United States, -our position was taken without a moment's hesita tion. A Convention was promptly called, and in stantly, and without a dissenting voice, that Con vention resolved to take our side with the already' seceded States, and share their fate for good or evil. From that moment, however we may have differed in other things, in this there has not been, and there is not, any difference. It would, perhaps, be too much to say, if I were to affirm that there was, on this subject an absolute unanimity ; but there was such an overwhelming predominance of public sen timent, as to amount to what is called a moral una nimityhence the people, with one heart, sprung to arms; Union men, that is, those who previously had been Union men, not only among tho first, but truth and justice require me to say the very first. Hence the people have nearly sixty regiments, not skeletons, but full regiments; and among them all there is not one conscript or drafted man. Hence we have freely taxed ourselves, and have used our credit in making large loans to sustain the war ; and the spirit which has produced this has never flagged, and is now as high and active as at first - Mr. Ely. think a moment?. We have been in vaded by an enemy as unrelenting and ferocious as the hordes under Attila and Alaric, who overrun the Roman EniDire. "He comes tn mh ne der our people, to insult our women, to emancipate our slaves ; and is now preparing to add a new ele ment to this most atrocious aggression, and involve us in the direful horrors of a servile war.

I think, therefore, Mr. Ely, you would do well to advise Mr. Stanly to abandon his enterprise. He a Governor of North-Carolina? A Uovernor deriving his authority from the com mission of Mr. Lincoln !

Mr. Ely, as you have opened a correspondence with Mr. dtaniy, you naa better, as 1 thmk-you yourself will believe after reading what 1 have written, say this to him : If he wishes the honored name of Stanly to be come a by-word and a reproach, and to be spoken with scorn and hatred by North-Carolinians hence forth and forever, let him prosecute his present mis sion. 11 ne cioes not wisn mis let him return whence he came, and have us to fight out this con test as best we may, without his interference. GEORGE E. BADGER. The Conscription. The conscript law is now being enforced. Thous ands of small farmers, unable to employ sub stitutes, are taken from their homes and helpless families into camp, at a time when the condition of their crops is such that they must be utterly de stroyed unless the few neighbors they have left be hind can render their assistance. The patriotism of our people is unbounded.. This law taxes that pa triotism severely, for its operation' is so. unequal bears so heavily upon the poorer class of citizens between 18 and 35, and demands such great sacri fices, that nothing but the highest devotion to the State and the Southern cause, could induce them to submit to it And yet we rejoice to see them yield ing obedience to the law, hard as the sacrifice is. This fact imposes a heavy duty on those who are left behind. Their families must be taken care ot Their small crops must be attended to and saved, if possible. Citizens of North-Carolina men of means and wealth, here is a field hr the display of your patriotism and your humanity. Let the families of all our brave soldiers be provided for. -y . - Gov. Clark's Casdioatb. The Tarboro' South erner, Gov, Clark's home organ, and the Wilming ton Journal have declared for CoL Johnston for Governor. This makes it clear that Col Johnston is Gov.

Clark, will support CoL Johnston; and the patronage of the government will thus be brought into conflict with the freedom of elections. But it will all be in vain.

In speaking of the papers who sup ported Mr. Johnston for Governor, we classed' the Winston Sentinel among them, judging from its general temper and coarse more than from any specific declaration. It was purely1 an error of judgment on our part, yet the Editor attributes it to a bad motive in us. We dp not weigh motives nor bandy epithets with that paper, but we simply notice it to say, that the Editor says the Sentinel is neutral in the contest between CoL Vance and Mr. Johnston. The Editor will no doubt, if" he be true, to his instincts, vote for Mr. Johnston, and so far as he can will promote that ticket ' . ' . t , - Mr. Vance may make a military reputation. JVUmtngton Journal . . It is not material whether he makes a military reputation or not, so he does his duty as an officer and soldier in the face of the enemy. He has been twelve months in the service, and that is more than can be said of the Editor of the Journal and many of his fire-eating friends. The "bubble reputation" is notBing, when coor pared with a patient perfor-; mance of duty amid the privations of the camp and the shock of battle. This is the Reputation which CoL Vance coveted, and which he has already won. ; . V.-' ' ; Retaliation. The Richmond Dispatch says that tho iiihaman and diabolical hanging of Mr. Mum ford in New Orleans, by the Order of the demon Butler, has been noticed by President Davis, and . that it is rumored that the President has made a demand upon Lincoln for the surrender of Butler to the Confederate authorities, or vengeance will be visited upon a Federal Major General in retaliation.
