For our own parti we jo not hesitate to say that we are willing to give Mr Holden a fair trial., and, as a public journal ist, aid him in re-establishing a civil government tor the State and restoring order, peace and pros perity to the people. We are not an office fftfker. and do not want any office within the gift ftlie people ; our present vocation requires all our attention ; neither do we ask any favors from Mr Holden or any other public officer; but hav ing always taken an interest in public affairs, we feel more solicitous than ever that prudence and oharity should control our rulers at present, and that good and honest men be placed in positions of honor and trust. We. know that Mr Holden has the ability to discharge the duties of Governor creditably, and we believe that he has the influence with the na tional Administration which will enable him to do much towards ameliorating the condition of the; people of North Carolina. If he uses his influ ence for good (and we think he will) we shall i whatever proper 4o sustain him ; we have never, and do not expect, to interpose any fac tious opposition to a public officer. We, in com mon with all our people, want peace and quiet throughout our borders, and to secure this we beg that all our citizens unite their efforts. We hope the earliest day possible will be fixed f.jr assembling a Convention and inaugurating a civil government for the StateN The following is Gen. Sohofield's order : Headifrs Departm't of N. C, Army of the Ohio. ? lialeigh. N. C, June 5, 18G5. General Orders No. 74. His Excellency, William W. Holden. having been appointed by the President of the U. States, L'rovisioual Governor of the State of North Caro Vma, all officers and soldiers of the army are re quired to aid and assist. His Excelloncy in the lischnrge of-the duties of his office of Provisional Governor. All in the military service are also "enjoined to abstain from, in any, way. hindering, impeding or discouraging the loyal people from the organization of a State Government," as au thorized in the Proclamation of the President. Ihe military authorities will render all proper and needful aid to all executive officers of the State who may be duly appointed under the Pro visional Government, in the discharge of duties ilevolvpd upon them by law. AH such executive fiieers are authorized to call upon the nearest military commanders for necessary aid in the ex ecution of their legal duties, which commanders are required t render such aid so far as it may be in their power. When the County Court shall be properly or ganized in any County, the County Police Force, organized in pursuance of General Orders. No. -J.", from these Headquarters, will thereafter act in obedience o the orders of the local magistrates, tts part of the posse of the county. . . liy command of Maj. Gen. Schofield : J. A.

It will be seen by a circular from the xnumander of the Department of North Caro lina, that all restrictions on the purchase, sale atid shipment of cotton and other produce, -are roiuovetU-orilj a tax of one-fourth of the cotton is required. Those who purchase aud ship cot ton have this tax to pay to. the government; therefore farmers who have cotton to sell cannot expect to get here in this market anything like what cotton -commands in Northern markets. 1 be farmer can ship his cotton himself if he chooses, and pay tue tax himself; or he can sell to dealers here at home, who m be required lo rav the tix. Having do mails, publishing a newspaper now isttended with difficulty. We are willing to furnish the Democrat to those who have al ready paid for it until the expiration of their time, (although the money we received did us no good,) bat we don't like to take the trouble of putting ap the packets for the different offices aud then have them lie here Uncalled for. .We hope our subscribers in the surrounding country will make arrangements to send to this office for the papers for their respective offices. i fWe ar ready to resume the original dimen sions of the Democrat as soon as the mail routes are put in operation again, and we hope the P.M. G eneral will adopt prompt measures for re-establishing mail communication. At present we get but few exchanges, and they of old dates. Sometimes about a dozen copies ot the Raleigh Standard and Progress, of different dates, come in one batch. tW Everybody is complaining of the scarcity of money, and nobdy seems to have any. Green backs are in great demand, to say nothing of gold and silver. The war closed and left many of the southern people without a dime in "good and ! lawful currency," and how the people aro to pay their corporation, county. State and national j taxes, when assessed, we cannot tell. Cannot j the collection of taxes be postponed for a year or i go f i Men of large means heretofore, have nothing j now with which to purchase food and clothing for ; their families and servants. The payment of i wages to negroes at present istut of the question, j and they are not disposed to work without force j or the promise of big pay. It will not be long ! before there is great destitution among the blacks, j unless some method is adopted to force them to j work on the plantations. The negro is a good thing for fanatics, demagogues and hypocritical : philanthropists to prate about; but the negro j must be made to work for his living like other people, or he will starve' himself and impoverish the country. Money will again become plentiful if we can succeed in producing good crops for two or three years. 5 The Raleigh Standard of the Qth instant announces the withdrawal of W..W. Holden from the Editorial control of that paper, and that it will in future be conducted by Joseph S. Cannon and Joseph W. Holden. We are not acquainted with Mr Cannon, but of Jos. W. Holden we can say that he is a young gentleman of ability, irre proachable character, industrious end etoergetrc; and being a practical printer, we have no doubt ho will make the Standard acceptable to its pat funs and friends. And, judgiog from Mr Can non's salutatory, we may reasonably expect him to nee his position as assistant Editor for good. We heartily endorse the following sentiment of the salutatory : . "During the war many unkind and unfriendly .feelings have been engendered among our citi zens. They may have been natural at that time, but nov they should exist no longer. The un avoidable sorrovs and calamities consequent 'upon the war aro sufficient; therefore let us avoid these. Let us forgive and forget torever, tsuch sad and unprofitable feelings." KQRTH CAROUSAL ; 6 Gov, Holdeo occupied the Governor rooms in the Capitot building for the first time on Thursday last. He may be found there dur ing the ordinary busicess hours of th day. It is understood that be has made the follow ing appointments: Jos. S. Cannon and Hon. E. G. Heade, Aids; Mr Thomas, Secretary of State; Jonathan Worth, Treasurer. Raleigh Record. St3T There is quite an influx of visitors to our city from different sections of the State ; and our hotels eem to be doing good business. Some of these visitors have come in to take the amnesty oath; some to seek the executive pardon under the pwfsion inade in the latter part of the Presi dent's amnesty proclamation; and not a few we presume are office seekers under the ner admin istration. Raleigh Record, Newbern, N. C, June 2. There are two lines of steamers running direct from Newbern to New York; also one from Newbern, via Roan oke Island, through the canal to Norfolk. There id much rejoicing here over the remo val of the restrictions on trade, which has given a new impetus to business. Newbern promises to be very healthy this season. The city has never been in a healthier condition than at present. At a meeting of the farmers of half a dbzen counties in Virginia, between Richmond an.d the Blue Ridge, the abolition of slavery was recognized, and it was agreed as a general rule that their emancipated negroes, field hands, should ordinarily be paid "five dollars a mouth and found." . . Texas By way of Havana we have interest ing news from Texas. Anarchy was the order of the day in Galveston and Houston. The late rebel leaders had lost all authority over their soldiers, who had taken affairs into their own hands, stating that they would stand no more humbugging. All the citizens seemed only to be in a hurry to surrender to the United States au thorities. X. Y. Herald. Fortkess Monroe, June 4, 1865. The steamer Starlight arrived to-day from Hilton Head, with A. G. Magrath, ex-Governor of South Carolina, en route to Washington under arrest. Now after the war is over, and the South is subjugated, and the negro has been declared free, there, is but little prospect of agitation about the n.egro ceasing. It seems that the fanatics of the North are determined that we shall have no rest, for they are continuing to fuss and fume and stir the everlasting negro. Wendell Phillips a,nd his clan are "down ou" President Johnson for not authorizing negro suffrage in North Carolina and placing him on a perfect '.equality with the white, man. The negro has been a. source of too much political capital and profit to "Phillips. Sum ner &z Co., for them to think of letting him quiet ly rest with the end of the war. They and. their peculiar adherents are at the bottom of tho negro conventions now being held in the South ; they write the negro petitions asking for the right to vote, hold offiee, &c; in short, they, are putting the devil in the negro's head and rendering him useless to himself and to everybody else. Are we to have no end to this agitation? is it not time to talk about something else than the negro? Does not the interest of the poor white man. North and South, require some attention ? What are the fanatics doing to benefit the thousands of poor white laboring men, women' aud children at the North ? The negro here at the South will get along pretty well after awhile if the fanatics and demagogues will let him alone. President Johnson, in his proclamation in re gard to North Carolina, ignored the wishes of those pestilent agitators and radicals at the North who are eternally harping on the ngro. and it is to be hoped by -every lover of peace that he will continue. to give them the cold shoulder, and en deavor to establish real pence and prosperity. ' GexR. E. Lee. The Norfolk correspondeit of the New York Tribune, under date of 31st ultimo, says : Colonel Walter H. Taylor, General Lee's Adju tant General, Surgeon W. J. Moore, and about fifty Confederate" soldiers, at present residing in Norfolk, have been summoned to appear before the United States District Court at 10 o'clock this moraing, with the view of testifying against General Robert E. -Lee and other prominent Rebel officials, on a charge of treason. Discharge of Rebel Vsoner of War vpor Certain Conditions. The President is about to issue an order directing the discharge of all rebel prisoners of war"telow the rank of major upon taking th?.. oath of allegiance, without a special application in each case, as at present required. Commissioned officers will be required, besides taking the oath?, to enter into a personal recog nisance for its faithful observance. According to the London Owl, which is edited by Lord Palmerston's private secietary, the diplo matic "correspondence, between the United States and England, respecting the Alabama's" depreda tions has reached an unpleasant point. , WAsuinoton, June 5. A threatening letter was sent to the President a day or two since, which was turned over to Geo. Augur to inves tigate. The writer was arrested and proved to be an insane Frenchman, who labors under the delusion, among others, that the government oWes him one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. If not paid by the'lGth iost. he proposeg to take the matter into his own hands and obtain re venge. He has been properly disposed of. Secretary Seward was at the War Department over four hours to-day attending to his dispat ches for the foreign mails. Frederick Seward is eteadily improving in health. The leaders. in the Mexican emigration scheme from San Francisco have been held to answer before the United States Graud Jury for an attempted violation of the neutality laws. A public meeting of sympathy with the liberals of Mexico had been called in San Francisco. Al though considerable feeling existed on the sub ject, it is stated that the authorities would be sustained in their efforts to maintain neutrality so long as that was the policy of the govern ment ' Having learned that a considerable force of Union soldiers twenty or thirty thousand, men is to be detailed for the pacification and reor ganization of the great State of Texas, the French Minister at Washington, the Count Montholon, it is saiif, will demand an explana tion of Mr Seward. Mexico is so very conven ient to Texas that BQmo of these Union troops niav. Derhaosl set on the wmn? mHa nf the riv- j , r - - - -r , o er, and give 6ome trouble to Maximilian.

Brevard Davidson, on the 30tif of March, 1865, Mr R. A. Dayidion, Sergeant of the 63d N. C. Cav alry, in the 23d year of his age. Without pro nouncing a fulsome eulogy, this young gentle mau approximated perfection as nearly as 'any human character. His natural talent, of a superior order, was highly cultivated and improved, and be ranked amuug me uesi ivuumrn iu uis tiitss. now emnni ly he desired to complete his education is fully known, but in obedience to what he conceived to be his duty he joined the army, and whilst a soldier returned but once in four years. Whilst a prisoner at Point Lookout and Elmira his health was mate rially injured by chronic diarrhoea, and when be returned home he continued weak and prostrate. It was fondly hoped that he would rally bis strength and recover; but his disease returning with increas ed violence be remarked to his father and mother that he must soon expire. Like a mature christian, he exhorted his parents, brothers and sitters, to pre pare' for death, so that 'they might all meet in hea ven. He acknowledgedthiniself a sinner and trusted in Christ. Such were the distinctive and prominent traits of his character, hi? noble and generous spirit, his amiability, ft is elegant but unaffected maaner?. his deep piety, his kindness and affection to all, es pecially to the inner circle of loved ones at borne, that we cannot expect to look upon a noblar or bet ter mo'del for imitation by the young. Well might we have wept when the fineral service was pro gressing and the beautiful wreath of evergreen was placed upon his bier. The whole room was iu tears, and the large number of relatives and friends who were in attendance was a sufficient evidence of their appreciation of his worth and of the respect which they fejt to be due to. ttfe family His re mains were interred in the family vault by the side of his brother and sister, and must there repose un til the morning of the resurrection.
