ture of war in its most terrible features.
It was determined to move on during the night.
! The distance to Turkey Island Bridge, the point
j on James River which was to bo reached, by the
direct road, was six miles. Commencing at dusk,
the ularch was continued until daylight. The
night was dark and fearful. Heavy thunder
rolled in iui n along each point of the horizon, and
dark clouds spread the entire canop". We were
forbidden to speak aloud; or, lest the light of a
segar should present a target for an ambushed
rifle, we were cautioned not to smoke. Ten miles
of weary marching, with frequeut halts, as some
of the hundred vehicles of the artillery train in
our centre, by a slight deviation, crashed against
a tree, wore away the hours to dawn, when we
debouched into a magnificent wheat field, and the
smoke-stack of the Galena was in sight. Xeno
phon's remnant of ten thousand, shouting, " The
sea! ihe sea!" were not more glad than we.
On reaching the river, Gen. MeClellan imme
diately proceeded on board one of the vessels.
He appeared greatly perturbed. Gen. McClellan
met Gen. Patterson as he stepped on board, laid
his hand on his shoulder, and took him in a hur
ried manner into the aft cabin or ladies' saloon.
As he went in he beat the air with his right hand
clenched, from which all present inferred there
was bad news. To the astonishment of all it was
explained, " that the whole army of the Potomac
lay stretched along the banks of the river.'.' Gen.
McClellan, however, claimed that his troops ''had
fought the Confederates in superior nunibeis every
day.for a week, and whipped them every time."
To a question as to the location of certain divisions
and their generals, the answer was, they are
scattered everywhere, but are nevertheless in a
solid compact body;" and in reply to another re
mark, it wa9 said, "what we want is fresh men,
they" the troops "are worked to death."

Mark the Difference. A certain portion
of the people of North Carolina are stigmatized
as "destructives," and the clique of which the
Raleigh Standard is the organ and Mr. Vance
the Gubernatoria candidate, has determined to
put these people these "destructives" down, at
the risk of divisions, heart-burnings and animosi
ties iu our midst.
Now mark the facts. These so-called "destruc
tives" are of the opinion that an electioneering
struggle now is unpatriotic, and whilst they arc
disposed, therefore, to be quiet, the " conserva
tives" (?) are pulling and ""hauling and growling
and making charlatans of themselves generally.
Well, this may be "conservatism," but a plain man
would be led to question whether persons who
had time aud disposition to indulge iu such things
now, did not think far more of their own triumph
and the downfall of those whom they hate, than
they do of the liberties of the people. Are not
such suspicions warranted by their acts?
We ask the people of the State to look at it.
Look wherever you may, and when you find a
man preaching "conservatism," after the style of
the Raleigh Standard, you will find him a bitter
and uncompromising partizan. We speak of the
leaders and those who hold forth. On the other
hand, when you meet a "destructive," as the
Standard calls the Southern Rights men, you
find a man willing to sink, for the time at least,
all other points in the great interests of the cause.

A correspondent of the Salisbury Watchman
relates the following incident:
A Brave Youth. A brave and patriotic
youth, 0. C. Philips, a private in the 2d N. C.
State Troops, sick and excused by the Medical
Surgeon, got up during the late battle near Rich
mond aud went musket in hand, as he said, to
drive or help drive the invading foe from our soil.
Contrary to the wishes of his officers, he took his
gun and rushed into battle, and whilst in the
thickest of the fight, was stricken down, by a
grape shot. II is comrades insisted upon taking
hini off the field, but he refused, saying, "no, you
can do more good here where you are, go on"
which we did, and in an hour returned and found
him dead of his wounds. The noble youngster
would not permit a hian to stop to attend to his
own sufferings, but urged them to go on and
drive the wretches back. This is but another
instance of patriotic Carolina's noble sons, who,
regardless of self, and devoted to the welfare of
the South, expired as a sacrifice to his country's
cause. Brave, generous, and noble hearted,
he leaves a broken hearted mother, sisters and
brothers to mourn his loss. Such devotion to
patriotism in this our Southern cause is rarely
ever surpasscdr

Mor.ft Tyranny. Sometime since, Lincoln
ordered all the political prisoners confined in the
various northern bastiles, except spies, to be im
mediately released. His reason for this act of
executive clemency, as alleged, was, that the re
bellion was virtually crushed, aud that the Baboon j
President could afford to display a little magnani-
mity. Since then, however, the tables have been j
turned. Grant, at Shiloh, was terribly thrashed;
ISAKLSIl' waited.
I want to purchase, immediately, all the BARLEY j Banks has been routed iu the alley; J-remont
and Shields fared no better; and last, but not j
least, McClellan, at the head of the best Yankee j
Army ever put upon a field, has been driven !
thirty-five miles with a loss of between 30,000 :
! and 40,000 men. This does not look so much
I can gel, for which thc highest market price will be

, TWO SPIRITED YOUNG LADIES.
, A Memphis correspondent of ihe "Appeal," in
; referring to the bad treatment of citizens by the
: Federal soldiers, relates the following :
J The most unmanly and bru'al act that I know
oi 13 their treatment of the two Misses Coe.
Levin Coe, their brother, was at home discharged
from the army. They surrounded the house be
fore the family knew thev were on the idace.
, Fortunately, youug Coe hud gone fishing, and two
I 01 ms sisters escaped to the garden and ran to
j warn him not to come home The Yankees saw
the way they went, and followed them, but the
j sisters outran them and gave their brother in-
formation of their coming. They came" up with
j the ladies at a house in the vicinity of the creek,
j d attempted to arrest them, but thev were both
armed, and dared the six big strappiug Yankees
to lay their haDds on them." One would say to
another, " She's got a pistol ; take it away from
her." Aud she, a weak woman, stood at bay and
told them to touch hei at their peril. And the
craven wretches dared not do it. Af last, to get
them from the neighborhood of their brother, they
agreed to go to headijuarters with them. It was
then noou, and these girls had ran. two miles, and
then these scouudrels marched them off on foot
four miles to town. At every step they tried to
get their pistols from them, threatening them with
instant death if they did not give them up. Three
times they placed their pistols atjthe girl's hearts,
with them cocked and their finger 011 the trigger,
telling them they would kill them. Each time
the girls replied, " Shoot I can shoot as quick
as you can." And they never did give them up
until their brother-in-law came np with them and
tbld them to do so, and gave himself up in their
place. Leviu Coe escaped.
PROM NORFPLK.
The Richmond Enquirer publislcs an extract
from a letter signed "A Virginia Girl in Norfolk,"
as follows :
"The people of Norfolk ore not idle even though
surrounded by the armed soldiers of the "Union."
Our wounded in possession of the enemy are re
gularly visited by the ladies of this place, and
their wants ascertained and relieved. Their ab
sent friends may feel satisfied that they are welt
taken caro of. Nor need those brave men who
have volunteered in defence of our dearest rights
and liberties, and who have left families here un
provided for, feel that they are not with friends,
who consider it a privilege to assist and relieve
them.
The yankees- who have brought goods here for
'starving Norfolk,' have sold the same for gold
and silver ouly, or 30 per cent, discount on Virgi
nia money. City notes are utterly repudiated.
Her British Majesty's man-of-war, Jason, now
iu our port, I understand, has prohibited the im
portation into Norfolk of goods by the Yankee
government, unless foreign powers are allowed thc
same privilege.
The people of Norfolk are as true to the South
as though no other government was in our-midst.
A few of the lowest characters in Norfolk and
Portsmouth, assisted by about 200 yankees, had a
grand procession here, a few days ago, "in honor
of the arrival of Gov. Pierpont," the traitor who
pretends to preside over Western Virginia.

Refusing Confederate Money. We hear
of a person, now and then, in this region, who re
fuses to take Confederafe money. That a grossly
and criminally ignorant man whose heart is not in
the right place, should hesitate, is not very sur
prising. But that any man with a thimble full
of brains in his skull, who is not a Lincolnite,
should scruple to receive Confederate money, is
matter of profound astonishment to us. They
surely have a sinister design. There must be a
"wheel within a wheel" a desire to depreciate
Confederate paper and buy it up at a big dis
count. We assert what every man of sense knows
to be a fact, when we declare that Confederate
notes is the best money in the South? Why?
Because the last particle of property all the land,
negroes, stock, everything is pledged for their
payment. Your State paper may be good Confed
erate paper is unquestionably better. When it
ceases to be solvent, we would not give a button
for a bushel basket crammed full of the best State
bank paper in the South. If it falls, it will tum
ble in the same grave in which lies buried all
your State bank money the only difference being
that the Confederate paper will be on the top.
For our part we would as leave have it as gold
or silver. We have but a single objection to Con
federate money, and that is, .we can't get it.
It is a mooted' question whether the man, who
refuses Confederate money should not be deemed
a traitor and outlawed. If this money is offered
in payment of a debt and refused, there should be
a law uecming tne tcnucr payment. muiou

The PRor-ucE Loan.--We learn that the
government has determined to require subscribers
of cotton and money to the loan to comply imme
diately with the terms of their subscription.
Heretofore the payments of this loan have been
at the option of the subscriber the suspension of
the collection being allowed by the department in
consequence of the low prices of produce and a
desire to facilitate the interest of both thc sub
scriber and government. No further indulgence
will be granted, and subscribers will be required
to perform the obligations , which they have
assumed. Rich mond Examiner.
Another Escape of Prisoners Seven
more of thc political prisoneis confined here,
effected their escape last Thursday night. Aa in
the former instance so in thi3, they took advantage
of a dark and stormy hour, and when the rain, as
they supposed, had unfit the guns of the guard
for service. They were discovered, however, and
fired upon, but without serious effect. One of
them has since returned. He can give no account
of the others, further than that two of them were
wounded by the guard one in the hand and the
other in the breast. Salisbury Watchman.
Corn. We learn from the Macon Telegraph
that several large planters in South-Western
Georgia have sold their growing crop of corn, to
be delivered at the nearest railroad depot, when
gathered, at twenty-Jive cents per bushel, aud many
others anxious to sell at the same figures.

A bill to authorize the President to issue letters
of marque and reprisal has been introduced in tho
Northern Congress.
An order had been issued by Butler, offering
food to destitute people, but with the proviso
that no application will be received from any but
"loyal" citizens. The Confederate will, therefore,
be left to starvation. This is one of many similar
plans that Butler adopts to make loyal citizens.
McCm llan's Sthenoth. In the Lincoln Se
nate, Chandler, of Michigan, occupied the even
ing session with a long speech on thc conduct of
the War, quoting largely from testimony taken
before tbe Committee on the Conduct of the War,
going to show that before the march on ManaasaA,
Gen. McClellan bad 'JoO.OOO men under his'com
mand, 'of whom 153,('00 were sent down to the
Peninsula, where they were set to digging trenches,
and then ordered to advance on gunboats instead
of Richmond. Chandler is very severe on the
"Little Napoleon."
Fkom Fkepeuicksth i! and Baltimore.
From a gentleman attached to the cavalry service,
who reached Richmond Friday night, thc Exami
ner has some interesting news from Fredericks
burg. The enemy lias entirely .evacuated that
city, and retired beyond the Rappahannock, on
the North bank of which- he has posted a cavalry
picket. The joy of the citizens is unbounded nt
this sudden departure of their oppressors.
The Examiner's informant, before leaving
Fredericksburg, met with a gentleman just arrived
fiom Bultiiuore, from whom he learned thnt the
Yankees have withdrawn from Baltimore oil their
troops except three regiments of militia. All
their available force has also been withdrawn
from Washington. Thti dtitiation of these
troops was not positively known, but 'it was cur
rently believed they had been sent to Gen. Popo
in the Valley.
Thc "Crisis," a pnper printed at Columbus,
Ohio, and edited by Saui Medary, by far the ablest
political journal in the State, is highly conserva
tive, and comes out fairly and squarely against
the Black Republican administration charges
that party with precipitating the country into war,
and insists that unless thc Republicans nro turned
out of office at once and kicked into .nonenify, tho
Federal Government will be irretrievably destroyed
and the liberties of thc people sunk forever.
Thc Cincinnati Enquirer, another leading
journal, takes the same view. Both these papers
have a large and rapidly increasing circulation.
and it is evident opposition to the war is fast gain
ing strength in the West and North-west.
Taking Pulsoners Played Oct. The fol
lowing paragraph, taken from the Philadelphia
Inquirer, will serve as a hint to our men:
"The notorious Missouri rebel, Col. John Ofens,
who made himself conspicuous in burning bridges,
cars and depots, and by firing into passenger trains
last summer and fall, was last week hunted dowu
by a detachment of soldiers sent out from
Palmyra They found him near his farm, and,
after a slight resistance on his part, they succeeded
in capturing him. Preparations were made for
his execution. Ho bogged the soldiers to tak
him a prisoner. They informed him that 'tak
ing prisoners' was 'played out.' They then placed
him upon a stump, iu front of a file of soldieru,
and, at the word of command, eight bullets pierced
the body of the rebel, killing him instantly."
The Fate" of Invaders. The fate of Mc
Clellan's army the sickness and casualties in all
their armies; the thickly increasing deaths from
numerous causes everywhere among the invaders,
lead us to believe that a righteous God is punish
ins: them as such invaders have ever been pun
ished. A few instances will fcuffico:
Xerxes invaded Greece to subject it to Lis sway,
with an array estimated by the best authorities at
5,288,320 fighting men including the usual
attendants, over 0,000,000. In one year this vast
multitude wjis reduced to 3,000,000, and even
tually of these only about 8,000 escaped destruc
tion I So ended his attempt at subjugation.
France iuvaded Spain with, altogether, over
600,000 men, and w:s expelled iu a few year
with less than 50,000 survivors ! And so ended
this attempt at subjugation.
Napoleon invaded Russia with 400,000 of the
best troops ever gathered together, devoted to the
fortunes of a leader whom they esteemed invinci
ble. Forty thousand only escaped poor, weary,
and broken down in spirit, one half of whom died
within a year. So ended that invasion of -an in
dependent nation, by the "greatest captain of tho
age."
Looking at these examples of the fate of tbe
invader, and in view of thc prospect now opening
within our own border, can we not vividly realize,
even while we continue to fight our own "battle of
freedom," that the "way of the transgressor is
hard," and that the controlling hand of the God
of Justice directs thc affairs of nations ? Let ui
reverently bow to the fiat "Vengeance is mine,
saith the Lord I will repay !"
