Noam Cai;olina Gcmkals. We nitice a commu

priety aiid the right to have North Carolina Generals
niuiiitcd to command North Carolina Brigades where
m ancies have occurred. We agree with the writer
tiittt the claims of North Carolina, in this re.-peet,
thould not be ignored without a protest. It is stated
that General Hill has recommended Georgians and
Virginian to till the vacancies occasioned by the ileal li
of General.. Branch and Anderson. As a North1 Caro
linian we prote.t agaiut any such a course as long as
we have in the field so many able Colonels from our
own State, men who have been in eight, ten aud eigh
teen battles, and exhibited gallantry and capacity. We
aie not jealous of other States, but we have heard offi
cers of oilier States wantonly depreciate our soldiers
until forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. Let North
''aroliua Brigades have North Carolina Generals, and
then we may expert to have Justice done our gallant
mm in ofli ial reports and otherwise. We hear that
feme of our best Colonel are indignant at the prospect
nf being placed under Brigadiers from other States

The above very forcibly reminds us of the story
about Patrick ileury and the beef man in time of the

for their rights, their property, their lives and their
liberty, there were nnu who thotight of nothing but

the editor of the Raleigh Standard exhorts what it j
I
calls the "Conservatives" to fill the offices with "ofTi-
cers from their ownxirfy.
The Standard wants the i
Legislature divided iuto two parlies at the start, and
demands that "origiual secessionists" be proscribed,
We had hoped that we should hear r.o more of party
until after the war, at least. This is no time to talk
about parties and to create a scramble for the offices.
We dw nut inteud to discuss party matters with the
Standard or any one elre, but we could not allow the
above paragraph to pass without protesting against
the spirit it maiiifc.-ts, and we hope those papers
which co-operated with tbe Standard iu the late elec
tion will join us in condemning the programme
marked out by the Standard. If the "party'- in power
acts in accordance with the demands of the Standard,
.nd thus fans the flame of party feeling, the responsi
bility for divisions and strife will not rest on those who
supported Mr Johnston for Governor. The Johnston
men have cordially supported Gov. Vance's adminis
tration, (so far he has acted in a manner to deserve
their support,) and they desire to keep the people of
North Carolina united and free from party divisions for
the sake of the cause of the South, but they will not
submit to be hunted down and proscribed simply be
cause they did not co-operate with the Raleigh
Standard in the late elections. We care not who
hold ihe offices, so they are honest, capable men but
we protest against keeping alive party feeling and pro
scribing the members of any particular party.
When the Standard denounces ''original secession
ists" we take no part of it to our self, for we were a
much better Union man before the rear than the editor
of the Standard ever was, . Since the war commenced
we have supported the State aud Confederate Govern
ments with all our might in all measures for prosecut
ing the war and securing the independence of the
Southern States, while the Standard has been throw
ing obstacles in the Way of the authorities, both' State
and Confederate, by finding fault and almost constant
ly complaining. It is not because the Standard's de
nunciations pinches us that we rebuke it, but because
the course of that paper is calculated to do harm.

no distant period, will possess an iron clad fleet capa- :
ble of coping as successfully with that of the North as :

Confedebatr Money. We bear the complaint, fre- j
quentlj, that there is too much Confederate money in j
circulation, and that the abundance of paper money is j
one great cause of present high prices. The best way, i
and probably the only way, to bring about an equili-
briuin is for Congress to pass a heavy tax bill, aud in j
. ... - . . . , .i
that way draw in the currency; or for the rich men (or T
tho?e having a surplus amount of money on hand) to i
o i
buy Confederate Bonds
If people who have money j
i -
to invest, instead. 'of buying real estate and other I
property at exorbitant prices, would purchase Con- !
federate 8 per cent Bands, they would find it a more
profitable investment and at the 6ame time it would
prove a great help to the cause of the South. If Con
federate bonds do not turn out to be a profitable in
vestment, then certainly no kind of Southern Stocks '.
or property will be of any value, for if we are subjugaa i
ted everything is lost State bonds, Bank stock,
houses, lauds, ic. We cousider nothing more certain
than that the independence of the Confederacy will be
established, and the best way, besides hard fighting, to
bring about this result speedily is to sustain the Gov
ernment by buying its Bonds, and in that way do away
with the necessity for further issues of Treasury notes.
The currency of the Confederacy must be maintain,
ed, and by funding it in Confederate bonds much good
will be accomplished. The man who refuses to take
Confederate money is a more dangerous enemy to our
cause than if he were in the ranks of the Lincoln army.
JfcjyThe Yankee papers are keeping up the spirits of
their readers by publishing the stories of deserters aud
by copying the factious censures , of the Confederate
administration which appear in a portion of our press.
They will get a very poor idea of the facts of our
position and the spirit and sentiment of our people
from these sources. Richmond Enquirer.
The growlers and grumblers are doing the Southern
cause more harm than if they were in the enemy' j
army with a gun in their hands, openly fighting against j
us. While the Lincoln soldiers are murdering our
citizens, destroying property, and abusing our women,
there are a few papers in the South constantly engaged j
in finding fault with the Confederate Government, op
posing and denouncing necessary laws for the prose
cution of the war, and trying to render President
Davis unpopular among the great mass ipr-ur people;
and the worst of it is, the growlers, 'grumbler's and
fault-finders are. instigated by party nTOtfves they
are generally disappointed, soured men. '
Prick op Newspapers. The Statesvillc Express has
advanced its subscription price to $3 per year. The
Editor in speaking of the necessity for this advance
saj s :
" When the price was fixed at $2, farmers were wil
ling to sell us a sack of flour for a year's subscription;
but now it takes more than teven years subscription to
pay for a sack of Hour; and many other articles of pro
duce are quite as high at flour double, treble and
quadruple old prices. While this is true with regard
to the cost of living, paper and printing materials have
been advanced, by manufacturers, to an enormous
cost. But we do not propose to advance in proportion ;
toothers; if we did, the price for subscription could
not be less than $7 a year, for that would be about the
proportion. Compared with others, the advance of
one-half which we make, is a very small matter, and
$3 a year will barely pay the expenses of publishing
the paper, these dear times."
We advanced our price to $3 per year two months
ago, and we did so for the simple reason that we have

FRO XI EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA.
From the State Journal of Saturday.
The rumors of a fight below Tarboro', on Thursday,
are untrue
Nothing of the kind had ukeii place
msh ou hirndav eveniU'r last. "All uuiet
since the skirmish ou Sunday evenin

along the lines.
From Weldon we learn that beyond th excitement
naturally arising from anticipated danger, there' is
nothing stirring thefev The Yankees were reported
at Palmyra, on the Roanoke, bat it is said they have
retired. ' . " '
It is the opinion of orae that the enemy is concen
trating his force towards Williaiuston, and may attavk
some point ou the line of the Wilmington aud Weldon
road. So it may be, and so he may. . Our opiuiuo is
that at present he is ou a thieving . expedition, or is
stirring about to cover a movement iuauother quarter.

AttirsTA, Nov. 7. A railroad collision took place
on the Columbia Brauch of the South Carolina Rail

FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
Intelligence from Winchester on yesterday, states
that our army still occupies important positions beyond
that town, and that skirmishes were of frequent occur
rence. On Thursday, a brisk affair occurred below
Winchester, resulting iu the capture of one hundred
and twenty Yaukees, and half a dozen wagons and
teams.
The reported fight at Front Royal was reiterated in
reliable quarters on yesterday, and repeated by parties
who arrived from Staunton. No particulars had been
received at the war office, and we are left to presume
that if there was a fight at all, it was of but little con
sequence. Richmond Enquirer, Saturday.

IMPORTANT.
The following from the Raleigh Journal possesses
much important information :
Tub Supply of- Salt. We had an interview yester
day with J. W. B. Watson, Esq, who has just returned
from Saltville. Va., whither he went to procure Salt for
Johnston county. He states that the prospect for an
udecjuate supply is gloomy. Mr Watson informs us
that our State Commissioner, N W Woodfin, Esq; has
done an immense amount of work and labored faith
fully to supply this indispensable article. He origi
nally contracted with the proprietors of the salt springs
for as mnch water as he required at a cost of seventy
five cents for such quantity as would produce a bushel
of salt, the manufacture of the salt being conducted
under his own superintendence, aud at the State's
expense. The proprietors, however, it would seem,
have proved faithless, and now refuses to supply the
requisite quantity, preferring to selLjt at theenhauced
price of $3.25 to others. It is probable that Mr.
Woodfin will sue the proprietorsifer this breach of con
tract, but wha will that avail? The people of the
State will not be able to pot tip their meat unless a
supply be procured elsewhere; and if the suit should
be successfully prosecnted, the enormous gain wrongly
won by the breach of contract will enable them to pay
heavy damages.
Several of the counties, we learn, have received, the
first installment of their supplyj being from one to two
car loads, according to population, and each consist
ing of 300 bushels. The State works under Mr Wood
fib are now producing about 1,000 bushels per day.
The hog-killing season will be over in about 40 days,
and 40,000 bushels is the whole amount that can now
be reasonably expected from that source for the State.
This, with what has been delivered, will fall far short
of the half million of bushels required for a full sup-
ply.
Those who have means should at once turn their
attention to our coast ami ?isenerc
No time is to
be lost, and farmers had better note our figures and
make their calculation? accordingly.
At Saltville, to-dav. speculators are buying up all
they can procure at $20 per bushel I The entire pro
duct of the existing works there is about 15,000 bush
els daily. , ,
The interference of Got. Letcher is said to have had
a very injurious effect. He succeeded in annulling
many valuable contracts to the public, and. by after
wards withdrawing his prohibition, threw down the
barriers to speculators, who have not been, slow to
step in. ' . .
We regret to learn that Mr Woodfin has completely
knt , ,'r..-n hta Viautth be hi nnremittine attention
v - " ' . . . ... . j ..... .-
to this important business of the State, and that
has been laid up sick for about a month.
