hear of the doings of a few of the Lincolaite sympa

effort wa3 recently made by them to organize, but we
. think it failed. One of two of the emissaries, we un

j State, but failing to find ai;y support they hastily re
treated. A gentleman from west of the Bine Ridge
j informs us that the traitors met at Greenville, Tenn.,

prepared a dinner for the occasion. It so happened
' that about that time a battalion of Louisiana volun

The North Carolikuns is the Fight. On our oyt
side page we publish reports of the part the 5thand
6th Regiments of N. C. troops took in the fighf t Ma
nassas. Last week we stated that bat two C. Regi
ments were in the engagement Kirkland'snd Fisher's
but it seems that was a mistake. IC appears that
part of the 5th Regiment, under -Ltol. J. P. Jones,
was also in the battle and took a.llant part. The
Colonel of the 5th, D. K. -tfcj&e. was detained at
Weldon by sickness. Had hf been there we know he
would have distinguished Jmself. But Lt. Col. Jones
(a native of Anson coun-1) fully sustained the honor of
the Slate. The Cth Eiment (Fisher's) made a noble
fight, though it svtfered considerably. Early in the
action this Regnant got divided, but they continued in
the field untiljeife day was won. North Carolina pluck
has beei. fuy tested in this war and found equal to all
oceasionr.'"
We find in the Raleigh papers an official report of
the killed and wounded in Fisher's Regiment. Killed
!f, wounded 53. missing 1 total 69. Col. Fisher was
the only officer killed on the field. The officers wound
ed are Lieut. Thos. A. Price, Lt. W. P. Mangum (since
died), and Capt. I. E. Avery. Capt. Craig's company
suffered more than any other, having 7 killed and 6
wounded. The officers of this company (among whom
is Lieut. B R. Smith of this town) acted with great
gallantry. The Adjutant of the Regiment, Houston
Lowrie of this place, led four companies on to the
charge, and all speak of his courage in the highest
terms.
In McRae's Regiment, but one mar. was killed and
three wounded.
The Legislature of North Carolina will meet in
Raleigh on Thursdny the 10th. The election of two
Senators is about all the business to be transacted at
this time that we know of, and that might have been
postponed for the sake of economy.
Right. A proposition was made in the ljate Bankers'
Convention at Richmond, that all Banks of the Con

to this proposal ; but if they have not, we hope they
will, as it would prove a great convenience and help
business it all sections of oar government. Resolu

heartily approving the vigorous policy of the govern

Bi Northern accounts of the Southern victorv are
published in many of our exchanges, and, strange to
say. most of them acknowledge that Scott's Grand
Army was badly whipped and driven from the field.
They plead ail soi ls of excuses but the right one, and
unjustly denounce their officers and men for cowardice,
and pretend that the battle was fought against the ad

Lieut. Todd. Most people, we presume, are aware
that there is a Lieut. Todd, Lrother-in-law of Abraham
Lincoln, iu the Confederate service. The citizens of
Frauklinton, X. C, complain of the bad conduct of this
Lieutenant at that place while on his way to Raleigh in
charge of some Northern prisoners. The proceedings
of a public meeting are published in the Journal, from
which we learn that when the Rev. Mr Mayunrd and
Mr J. li. Winston, of Franklinton, entered the car at
that place for the purpose, we suppose, of seeing the
prisoners, Lieut. Todd ordered them off. In response
to a remark of Rev. Mr Maynard that he was very deaf
and did not hear the order at first or he would have
gotten off the platform, Todd stepped up to him, and
after a few words had passed, struck Mr Maynard in
the face. When told by bystanders that Mr Maynard
was a Minister of the Gospel and a true Southern man,
Todd said he did not believe it and did not care a
damn, and otherwise behaved badly. The resolutions
passed by the citir.ens of Franklinton say that Lieut.
Todd's conduct was outrageous, profane and cowardly,
and the fact that he is a brother-in-law of Abe Lincoln
justifies them jn regarding him with suspicion. A copy
was ordered to be forwarded to the Secretary of War
and all Southern newspapers were requested to pub
lish. Southern Congress. Most of the business has been
transacted in secret session. A resolution was passed
permitting the 1st Regiment N. C. Volunteers to be
mustered into the Confederate service for the period
agreed upon at the time of their enlistment (six months.)
They are to be paid from the time their services were
accepted by Gov Ellis.
The standing Committees have been appointed by Pre
sident Cobb. We have glanced over the list and do not
find that the chairman of any committee has been tak
en from the North Carolina, Virginia, Texas or Arkan
sas Delegations, but there are six chairmen from Geor
gia (Mr Cobb's own State,) six from South Carolina,
two each from Ababama and Mississippi, one from
Florida, and three from Louisiana. All the N. C. mem
bers arc at the tail end of the Committees. We men
tion this iu no complaining spirit, but as being rather
curious. Probably Mr Howell Cobb did not happen to
think about the qualifications of North Carolinians and
Virginians when he was making out his list of Com
mittees. " Xobody hurt."
A special law has been passed allowing soldiers
in camp to send letters without pre-payment,
the postage to be paid by the person receiving
the letter. That is right : but we regret to see that the
provisions of the act have been extended to members of
Congress. We thought that exclusive privileges to
members of Congress were to be discontinued under
our new Government. All, except soldiers in service,
should be made to pay their postage like other people.
We are afraid that some of the evil practices of the old
government are still admired by Southerners.

Effects? of the Wai:. The effects of the war upon
the South is quite different from what it is upon the
North. In the South, the people generally have plenty
to live on. and are as well oil" as they were 12 months
ago; a scarcity of some articles are learning them habits
of economy: while in the North, they arc starving by
thousands, and business of all kinds is suspended, and
men w ho w ere rich six months ago are now poor and
ruined. The withdrawal of Southern patronage has
had a most disastrous effect upon Xorthern mechanics
and trade.-men. This withdrawal of trade has learned
the South to be self-supporting. We are now manu
facturing articles in North Carolina and Virginia which
w e never would have done had it not been for the war.
Thousands of dollars have already been expended in
New York and Philadelphia before the war. It is evi
', dent that the war and blockade will prove a lasting
i benefit to the South, and will learn our people to be
i more industrious, economical and srlf-iustaining.
' Besides all this, it will stop the tide of summer travel
J to the North, where Southern people wasted their
! money and became corrupted by Yankee society and
Yankee customs. And we hope that all those customs '
' and habits caught up at the North and brought to the j
i South will be immediately dispensed with- Instead of!

It has been stated that every Democratic paper j
iu Maine was opposed to the war. We do not know j
how much truth there is in the report, but we do know ;
that there are many Democratic papers in the Xorth i
which denounce Lincoln and his. cabinet for the ruin;
that section is suffering. And we see it stated that the 1

Why? While Brigadiers are as plenty as hops from
other States, we find but one Xorth Carolinian, Gen.
Holmes, holding that rank in the Confederate service.
There will soou be full twenty regiments of Xorth Car
olina troops in the field in Virginia, and yet apparently
without that recognition so lavislily bestowed upon
others.
We are informed that even in the care of Col. Hill
of the First X. C. Regiment, the Confederate government
has failed to confirm the action of the North Carolina
authorities, although", in truth, Mr Hill was the hero of
the first really important and decidedly glorious contest
of the war.
Of course we all know that Col. Hill is given to many
words, much preaching and blathering, foolish sneers at
newspapers, whose columns his own verbose reports
wciid monopolize, but Col. Hill apart, the courtesy tf
confirming him is due to the State. Wil. Journal.
There may be some cause for the complaint contained
in the first paragraph of the above, but that in the
second paragraph is a mistake we think, for we wero
informed some time ago, that President Davis had com
missioned Col. Hill as Brigadier-General. But our
friend of the Journal is certainly very much mistaken
in his impressions as conveyed in the last paragraph.
Col. Hill has been one of the most unassuming, unos
tentatious men wc ever knew, considering thereputation
he has for military skill and bravery. This is a subject
of remark among all who know him about here where lie
has lived for some years. He is not liable to the charge
of being "given to many words, much preaching and
blathering, foolish sneers at newspapers." Like all
other sensible men, we supposo, he don't admire a con
tinual stream of newspaper puffs. But we can assure
the Journal that it has entirely misapprehended Col.
Hill's character.

road ) proposes to raise a regiment of 1 ,000 men, to wear
citizens' clothes, to be armed with pistols, bowie-knives
and double-barrel guns or rifles, aud to serve during
the war. Mr Garnett says that the main object of this
regiment is to avenge the death of Col. Fisher and
Gen. Robt. S. Garnett.

Those Handcuffs. It now appears to be a settled
fact that Lincoln's army, which was so badly whipped
at Manassas, was provided with a large number of
handcuffs (30,000) to be used upon Southern men.
These handcuffs were captured, and many of them are
now iu Richmond. What do Southern people think of
that? How would they like to see their brothers,
fathers and sons handcuffed by the Northern hirelings
and carried to Yankee-land, to be insulted, abused and
starved to death ? We know that the strong arms of
our noble people will be further nerved fr the corUest,
and that they will die before surrendering to a blood
thirsty foe who have invaded our soil for the pnrpose of
subjugating us and dividing out our lands and property
among their poverty-stricken population.
BrzzAuns We learn that it is a remarkable fact that
there are few buzzards now to he seen in all this region
of the State. They have doubtless been diawn by the
taint of death to Manassas. Fay. Observer.
There are no buzzards up this way, and those which

N. C. Coal. The Charleston Mercury says it has been
using North Carolina coal for running its engine since
the Xorthern supply was cut off, and it finds it a supe
rior article to that heretofore imported from Yankee
land. Arrangements are-being made by a Charleston
agent for supplying that city with this coal from the
beds on Deep river.

Another Decisive Victory McCullough at Work.
A courier arrived at the headquarters of Gen. Pillow
yesterday morning, bringing intelligence of a battle
that had been fought at or near Springfield, Missouri,
iu which the forces under Gen Ben. McCullough gaiued
a signal victory over those of Seigel, which were en
trenched, but could not withstand the furious assault
of the great Texan Ranger, and gave way after a hard
fight, in which it is reported that 900 of Seigel'a men
were slain, w hile Gen MeCullough's loss was near C03.
This may be somewhat exaggerated, and the number of
prisoners less than has been reported, although there
is little or no doubt that a signal victory has been
achieved. Memphis Argus, 30th.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Richmond, August 2. Governor Harris, of Tennes
see, telegraphs to President Davis that a pitched battle
has been fought in Missouri and a great victory gained
by the Confederate troops. .
Ben. McCulloch commanded on our side with 18,000
men. The enemy numbered 20,000, under command of
Gen. Lyon. After a sharp engagement, Gen. Lyon's
forces were routed by the Southerners. Six hundred of
the enemy were killed and seven hundred were taken
prisoners.
No further details have been received.
From Netcport Xetrs and Harper's Ferry.
Richmond, August S. The Portsmouth Transcript, of
this morning, says that the'Federal evacuation of New
port News is doubtless false.
The Winchester Republican, of this morning, says
that Bank's army at Harper's Ferry is almost entirely
disbanded, only a few regiments remaining.
Confederate Congress.
Richmond, August 3. Congress lias passed and the
President approved several acts to-day, amending
former acts about cotton exportations, the public de
fence, the issue of Treasury notes, the revenue and ap
propriations for the Xavy. Xothiug of interest from
the camps.
Later from Europe.
New York, August 3. The steamship Fulton arrived
off Cape Race to-day, bringing advices from Liverpool
to the 24th tilt. ,?
The sales of cotton for tJic two days amounted to
45,000 bales, speculators and exporters taking 22,000.
Prices have advanced 1-16 to Jdaud the market closed
with an advancing tendency.
ggJ-A correspondent of the Raleigh Standard,
writing from Wilmington, says:
"A man who is not w ith us is certainly against us.
You must remember having seen some time ago in a
correspondence from this place the names of J. L. II.
and J. R. B., who had quietly slipped out of town in
the wee hours of the morning. They are men who have
resided in Wilmington for at least twenty years, I
should suppose, and also have both made fortunes and
held piominent places. But now, just at a time and
a critical time when they should show their patriot
ism aud their love of country, which heretofore they
have so boldly manifested, they sneakitiyly slip out of
town in the wee hours of the morning, leaving their
business in charge of Southern partners."
Edward Everett. The following is an extract from
Edward Everett's letter, last year, accepting his nomi
nation for the Vice-Presidency by the Union Conven
tion at Baltimore:
' The suggestion that the Union can be maintained
by the numerical predominance and military prowess
of one section, exerted to coerce the other into sub
mission, is, in my judgment, as self-e ontradic tory as it
is dangerous. It comes loaded with the death smell
from fields wet with brother's blood. If the vital prin
ciple of all republican governments is the consent of
the governed," much more does a union of co-equal
sovereign States require, as its basis, the harmony of
its members and their voluntary co-operation iu its
organic functions."
Everett is now advocating subjugation. He was
always an abolitionist in disguise.
I.nterf.stixo from Wasiiinoto.v. Tlie Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore Exchange,
writing on the 2Gth ult., gives the following
interesting sketch of'affaiis in that cit':
The days of terror ar again upon us. Since
the disorganization of the army, thousands of sol
diers throng the streets every hour of the day and
night; two-thirds of them beastly intoxicated.
Their appearance, generally, is shocking, charac
terized by nothing but rags and filth. It is rare,
now, to see a soldier with a clean face, though hy
drants are placed at most of the corners of the
streets. But few ladies are seen upon the streets,
even during the day, and these are invariably ac
companied by an escort lo protect thetn from
insult, and, perhaps, outrage.
There were more than fifty fights, between
soldiers, yesterday and last night. Seven men
were stabbed, and four others shot. One man, who
was shot at the corner of 13th and D streets, last
night, about 12 o'clock, is in a precarious condi
tion, the ball, it is supposed, having entered his
lungs.
There is as yet no actual insubordination ex
cept among thacc that are going home. The 8th,
(9th and 90th Regiments return to New York, as
also do the 1st, 2nd and 3d Connecticut, in a few
davs: the 1st. 2nd and 3d New Jersey and 1st
Bhode Island have already gone. The 1st and
2nd Ohio leave in a few days, as well as the 26th
Pennsylvania, and perhaps many others, of which
1 am not informed.
iSF There is no doubt that the vilest treachery
was practiced on the Manassas railroad to defeat
a junction between the forces of Gens. Johnston
and Beauregard. The train conductor, when
seized and charged with his treason, confessed to
having been tampered with by the enemy, and to
have received the sum of eight hundred dollars to
contrive to defeat the union of our forces. So
soon as he reached Manassas, he was tried,- and
ordered by Gen. Beauregard to be shot! It is
only by such stern and severe examples that treas
on can be put down and our soldiers preserved
from destruction. Our informant learned that on
the same day a like stern visitation of justice was
meted out to a recreant Georgian, caught in the !
act of piloting the enemy in their inarch on our j
line?. Richmond Examiner.
It is reliably stated, on the most undoubted
cvidenee, that when the news was received at
Washington of the capture of Sherman's battery,
Gen. Scott privately ordered six cannon to be taken
from the Navy Yard aud sent to Alexandria, with
horses, and have them brought back to Washington
with the announcement that it was Sherman's bat
tery. Forkign Items. The London Times says
that Lincoln's message confirms the impression
that the inaugural produced, that after an infinite
lossof life aud humiliation on the partof the North,
the result will be the acknowledgment of the
Southern Confederacy.
The Toronto Globe says that the sympathies
of the British people arc being withdrawn from
the Xorth. The Leader, the Government organ,
advocates the sending of additional troops to Ca
nada. The London Telegraph and Star denounce
Lincoln's message as unsatisfactory.

Wc reduce our quotations for Bacon, this week, to
12 to 13 for hog round. Flour is also lower $5 to
$5 50 for barrels, and '$2 50 for sacks. White Wheat
80 to 90, Red 70 to 80. Corn 55 to 60. . We think the
price of corn will certainly advance before the new
crop offers. Groceries are rapidly advancing 8alt
$5 per sack; Rio Coffee 33 cents per lb. and scarce at
that. People in the Sooth mast quit drinking coffee.
COLUMBIA, Aug. 3. Flour $2.75 to 3.25 market
well supplied. Corn $1 per btuhcl. No Peas or Oats
in market.
CHARLESTON, Aug. 1. 33 bales Cotton sold during
