We succeeded in driving them through the tewn to their fortifications on some heights near it. We gained a complete victory on that day ; killed and took a great many prisoners. Our loss was very light. I had five wounded in my company. Serg. Waggoner went throngh un hurt, carrying the colors as gallantly aa ever man did." On the evening of the 2nd of that month, while his brigade was lying in line of battle, he re quested II. Clay Clapp. his friend and tent mate, to w rite to his father, should he fall in the engagement which w as close at hand. He seemed to feel that his final hour was drawing nigh. " As dark was gath ering over us," writes Mr. Clapp, "we were ordered forward to charge a battery. Serg. Waggoner was bearing the colors of the regiment, and when near the battery he was struck by a grape-shot below the stomach, which passed through him and took his life instantly. Cool and composed as he always was on such occasions, he knew he must die, and he ex claimed : Sati thk Flag ; I am a iiat mam ; but all is will with Mi I" In falling back, our men were compelled to leave him and never recovered the ground so as to get his body lie fell in a strange land and was buried, if at all, by strangers ; but his rest is that of a martyred christian patriot ! XLLMOBE WATS05 I0B90H. ' Woes cluster, rare are solitary woes !" Another hath come to the immortal Dixies. Every woe, that has saddened them, raised the hope in the breast of their friends, that it vat the latt that Death would spare the remnant of that noble band of young heroes. But he hath entered their ranks again, and F.llmexe Watson Dobson is no more ! He was born in the county of Randolph, in this 8tate, on the 20th of July, 1843. He was a smart, spirited, thrifty and energetic boy, and by his labor and trading earned much for the support and com fort of his mother to whom he was stiongly attached in filial love. Though quite young when he began to do for himself, yet he managed his business with a judgment and wisdom little to be expected in a mere stripling. lit was not eighteen years old when he Yolunteere-1 lo defend the South. He was brim'ul of ardor, manliness and patriotic prid?, and he gladly set his face toward our defiant and insolently invading foes and bravely met them on a number of bloody fields and courageously beat them back. After being in the volunteer service for eight months, he enlisted for the war, determining to fight it out to the last, or to independence. He was rarely ever unwell, and in the hour of expected battle, " the time that tries men's souls," he wM'emjjerparattu, alw iys prepar ed and always for duty. No one ever surpassed him in soldierly bearing and in indomitable courage. Tis sad to know, that such a man, such a soldier came to his grave by the hand of a reckless, profli gate midnight assassin. Young Dobson and several of his comrades in arms had becu in search of a place where there was to be a ball and, as they were passing a house, a mile distant from their Camp, they inquired where theball waslo be. Immediate ly, upon doing this, they started away, when Ell morc, who was pusfing the window, was shot in stantly dead by rt fiend that was mantle i with the darkness in the room. Ellmore had said nothing, had done nothing to provoke his wrath or to give the slightest cause for so cruel, so diabolical, so hellish an act. His associates forthwith reported the affair to the commander of the regiment. A party was sent to convey him to camp, and he was neatly buried r ear tee piauruu, .caning troni urauge i nir i rout vmuic vuu. i. w to Fredericksburg, distant six miles from the former place. An investigation was made tj find out who was the pcrpitrator of this brutal and savage deed ; but the crime of perjury concealed the name of the vile creature in its hideous blackess. Not only was Ellmore a good soldier ; but he never forgot Lis duty to his mother, lie learned at onetime that s-he was not receiving what wasisually paid the soldier's wife or mother. He immediately wrote mc, ns a friend, to attend to her claims and see that ehe was furnished what she needed. I did so proruptlyand v.ith pleasure and reported to hiin at an early day, that the agent for the county in her district had assur ed me she Should not want. And it gives rr.e pleas ure to say, that she was not neglected afterward. How thoughtful, how considerate for one of his years! He could not bear the thought, that his mother was fullering in the midst of the abundance which surrouudod her, nor could he tcUrate the narrow-hearted niggardliness which prompted the denial of a sufficiency to her. He did not desert to redress this wrong ; but his good sense nnd patrio tism dictated the courso which I have just montioncd and which effected so speedily the desired object. He wrote me several letters on different subjects, ami, it is butjutto say. that, for one of his limited and imperfect education, he wrote a, very good epis tle. His penmanship was excellent; his subject clearly discussed ; and his style was simple and nervous. Her country hath lost much in the death of this patriotic and galUnt young soldier, but her loss is irreperably great and her sorrow only deepened and intensified by the manner In which he lost his noble life. The sympathetic hcirt of the entiro communi ty where her son was known condoles with her in her painful bereavement ! Alas, poor Dobson !

But the Dixies and thy friends will preserve thy memory in the urn of their hearts APOSTROPHE TO TIIE PtPARTEI DIXItS Chivalric, heroic coldiers !

Mr. Editor For more than two years the North has invaded the South with fire and sword. For moro than two years the Soath baa resisted the invasion with an energy and heroism unsurpassed in tho an nals of time. Has the South no justifica tion in this resistance? Hasher treasure been squandered in Tain f Has the best blood of bur noblest bona been freely shed in an unjust cause a causeless war agait.et the "best government the world ever saw?" It would seem so, judging from tho spirit and drift of an article that lately appeared in the Standard over the signature of "Davidson." The wholo article is full of pendantry and blind partizan haired, and emanated from a miud incapable of rising above its little prejudices, and. taking a pa triotic view of the grandest contest in which men can engage the btruggle for rightful independence. The writer labors to put the South in tho wrong to show that her martyred heroes have died in an unjust cause. No one who has read history impartially: no one who believes it wrotiy I rr ! l -.V to invado au unoffending people with tiro and sword; no one who believes it right to resist unconstitutional coercion could have written such -an article. He attempts to fill the heart of the South' era patriot with gloom, by cutting him off from tho bright examples of Swiss gallant ry successfully contending against Austrian despotism, and the heroic oxamplo of our forefatheas triumphantly rcBisting British tyranny ; by charging Southern people with "being thosolo cause of war; by keeping in the back ground the wickedness of aboli tion agitation; by" indirectly justifying Lincoln; by suggesting doubts ot our vic tories ; by implying that wo are wasting our blood and treasure lor a mere punctilio ; and lastly, by trying to delude the unthinking and ignorant by the cry of peace peace when there is no peace, and can be nono, without our independence. To follow "Davidson" through all his labored attempts to convict tho South of beginning a wicked and unjust war, would require too much timo and space, but let us glance at them as we pass. He asserts that thero is no "analogy" be tween our struggle and that of our fore fathers. To the Soathern patriot in arms against the principles and acts of despot ism, it would seem that there is not only a strong analogy, but where the analogy fails it is much moro strongly in our favor. .If the Colonies owing allegiance to tho British Crown wero justified in their resistance, then are tho thirtoen Sovereign States, who never acknowledged allegiance to the Northern despotic construction of tho Con stitution more than justified justified in resisting tho open violation of a written compact, the bold robbery ol their proper ty, the avowed destruction of their vital interests. Our forefathers "took up arras" to "redress their grievances." The South ern States instead of taking up arms "to redress their grievances, quietly and peace ?k&Eiiyr-ew .a Assumed their 'cTeT- gated powers" instead of the sword, thoy offered tho free navigation of tho Aliissipi instead of the clash ofarmp, thoy oiLred an equitable division of tho public property. 8 th?re no analogy between tbc "narrow- minded monarch" and "his bigoted minis try," who acted against the "advice of t'.io ablest statesmen of tho age Chatham, Camden, Fox and other1," and the "nar row-minded" Lincoln and his fan;itic:il Cabinet, who attempted to cocrco the South against the advice of the ablest statesmen ot tho land of Douglas, ot Gilrner, ot boll and others? Is there no analogy between tho cruelties of Bnlieb mercenaries, and tho barbarities of Lincoln's hirelings? Is thero no analogy in tno heroism ot our caders, tbc courago and endurance ol our soldiers, ar.d the cheering, self-sacrificing patriotism ot our fair daughters : Ihc eye blinded by partizan bato cannot see it. When you would expect from so astute an historian as " Davidson " a philosophical reason tor so mighty a revolution, ho tells you that it had its origin in forgery he tells you that the people are so simple that mtro party tricks, mero party schemes, could up root from their atlections and shatter tho mighty pillars of tho nation. lie must dab- blo on the surface and hsh among the ntum that floats in the dirty pools of slang-whang politice, to find no greater cauae cf this vast Revolution than i forgery, and tlr.it forgery without a rca-.on. W hy did ho not go be neath the surfaco and sco that it found its causes in the deep irroprcssiblo antipathies uf two different antagonistic people t Why did he not tell you that his antagonism whs brought about by personal liberty bills, by underground rail-roads, by incitements to insurrection, by John Brown raids? Thft this antipathy had been fostered by tho poison ot their school books, the atheism of their pulpits, and the fiendish teachings of a long list of infamous names from Boecher to Lincoln ? Why did he not toll 3'ou that tho South had offered " resistance in a constitutional way " to these teach ings for over forty years, " by representa tions, remonstrances " and repeated warn ings, till forbearance ceased to be a vir tue ? Who in tho South wanted the war tole- gin ? Whoarrong the wisest expected it would reach its present magnitude? I doubt if Davidson, with all his prescience, had any conception of the vastnef s to which it would grow. W hy then charge upon a portion of the citizens of tho South the causes of tho war when they belong to the Stupendous wickedness Of tho North? Lin l :inA,i ., l,v Hnmn Urr I h noint of tho bavonct. 44 Ucsistance was r j made tho pretext for onnreesions more un just still." He threatens to hang our sea- men as pirates and hand-cuff our soldiers as felons ; ho proposes gradual emancipation, then proclafmsP universal freedom to the negro, anu iuyucs nun iu muiuu u pine, and guarantees to protect his black cut-throats in their fiendish work; ho shaves the heads of our greatest heroes ana puis inem in penuenuai.es wc. t..Cy fall into his hands, and then makes univer- al confiscation Of Southern J.roperty the law of his dominion? Who. but 44 UavicJ- t tt nnnU K. fnnw-.A in nil thp Snntli. au.. u. - " ' apologise ior sucn a mons.v. , v. I that he was sworn to protect the ConstltU- ... . , .1 lion; that ho 'disclaimed any otber thaD constitutional means In the accomplishment oijiis objects ! ' Who but he could be found to doubt that our gallant defenders had gained glo rious victories over onr brutal foes and had won immortal fame T " They profess to have gained Tietories," are his words. Who hut he would suggest that we are pouring out our blood and treasure for no greater cause than a mere " punctilio." "Are we to pay in blood and treasure of the poople for punctilio V he asks. Why not address that question to Lincoln ? He is the party that "disclaims to negotiate." He is the party that stands upon the punc tilio, "no terms with rebels." Are North Carolinians fighting for a "punctilio" when tbey see a brutal foe invade their Boil, burn their houses, destroy their crops, insalt their wives and sisters, and steal the very jewels from their fingers ? Did the glorious hero Jackson, the great John ston, the accomplished Petti grew, the gal lant Pender, and the long line of heioes who have crimsoned their native soil with patriotic gore, sacrificed themselves for a punctilio ? But this partriotic writer, af ter disparaging our cause, apolgizing for Lincoln, sneering at our victories, drawing : ; a r . an imaginary picture oi our desperate condition, and confessing that he, at least, is ready for submission say s that "peace, speedy peace, is the remedy." Some " may perhaps prefer that the indepence of the South be acknowledged but if inde pendence cannot be obtained, then they aro for terms that are honorable' I leae the reader to reflect upon the honor that is without its basis, independence. Though not claiming to be an "able statesman," nor indeed a statesman at all, but a plain man, once devoted to the "Udi ton, now sooutmg "reconstruction," I beg leave to make a few suggestions. Let thoso who chime in with the spirit of " Davidson," cease their complaints against " secession," which cannot be undone now, and cease their forebodings of a "central depotisra at .Richmond," and put forth all thoir energies against the "oentral despo tism" at Washington, which 'seeks to en clave them and their children. Let them discourage speculation on liquor, cotton yarn, fid other necessaries" frown upon de sertion and encourage the soldiers put down demagogues and raise provisions sustain the curroncy, support Governor Vance, fight tho Yankees whever they can meet them, and we will have peace among ourselves at least. To my countrymen, I would say Lot it be the sacred duty of public men, of every private citixen, to do no act, to utter no word that will weaken the position taken by North Carolina in solemn Convention. Let us inspire cheer fulness in tho gloomy, and hopefulness in tho timid let us be united against our foes, then Lincoln, with all his hosts, can. not ovcrcorno us. Then in the good provi idonce of God, peace, a solid, enduring peace, will come to bless us, and our Con federacy, young in days, but full grown in power, in honor, in imperishable renown, will take her place among tho independent nations of the earth. .

There being no other paper in the Confederate States devoted to the interests of the Methodist Protestant Church, the Watchman and Harbi nger is destined to have a wide circulation, and it Kill of necessity, therefore, be an excellent advertising me dium for Book-Publishers, Schools, Coll eges, ana for whatever else may be designed for readers in the more remote portions of the Confederacy.

Under the above cap tions, in largo, bold face type, the Wash ington correspondent of tho Herald fur. nishes that paper with the following : In NoYember last Mr. Slidoil, the repre. scntatiro of th Southern Confederacy in trance, communicated to his government the important information that Louis Na poleon had consented to form an alliance, offensive and defensive, with the Southern Confederacy, and to contribute, as tho ma terial aid required for tho establishment of its independence, his navy and three hun dred thousand men, provided that tho Con lederacy would yield to France all tho cot. ton growing territory .wost of the Missis sippi, embracing Texas, half of Louisana and Arkansas. f o this the conservative representatives of tho bouth objected: first, becauso they wero opposed to any foreign alliance; and second, bee inse they preterred tho govern ment of tho United Statos, administered upon constitutional principles, with tho constitutional recognition of State rights, to any government .which the world baa yet known. Hence Mr. Stephens, after a consultation with his friends and the rebel authorities, undertook his mission. Ad monished by others les hopeful than him self and lees anxious for a restoration of the Union that it would bo impossible to obtain an interview with tho Union au. thoritics.upon tho direct subject that he had in viow, and that it was extremely doubtful whether he would be permitted to holdaudienco with the President or his Secretary of State, bo determined to adopt, tho strategic question which ho presented in his official communications namely, consultation upon tho troatmcnt and ex change of prisoners of war. He entertained the confident hope that no serious obstacle would be interposed to bis proceeding to Washington and thero consulting with President Lincoln, and Secretary Sowurd as to whether somo mu tually satisfactory ternib of compromise might not b-arranged, ho that the rebel Confederacy might be saved tho disgraco of inviting in foreign aid, at such an im mense sacrifice of its honor and of tho ter- ntory over which it claimed jurisdiction. Disappointed in this hope, he returned to Kichmond, and yielded to tho general sen timent and determination to form any al liance, to submit to any conditions imposed by : foreign ally, rather than yield to Iho Government ot tho Unitod States. It has been resolved, therefore, to con sent to an alliance with Franco, and con. cede Texas to that Power, in return for the aid of its navy and army in securing tho Confederate independence. This accounts for tho confident tono oi' Mr. Stephens' speech at Charlotte, NonU Carolina, in which he assumed that t:?o prospects of tho Confederacy wero not dicon raging, and that there was a certainty of success. It has been rumored that Mr. Stcphons has gone to Fa rope. There is reason to be lieve that ho is now in Franco that Im i I vested with authority to close negotiations Willi II1U rrfllCll L'O V f V n m 0 !I1 1 that Kill a XWiHJ.J1 lltlrt already formed an allia 1 . tensive- with tho Suuth foiled. raitt-Tj .jLo. .., K in CO uthcrn its entire navv and three hundred thou sand soldiers into the fcervice of tho South ern Confederacy, i necessary, to secure its independence. The knowledge thnl ;t bearer of despatch es to the Confederate (iovernr'ent has re cently arrived from Kurort; bringing in formation that the allianco between l'ranco and the Southern Confederacy has been fully perfected; may h vvo induced (iover r."v Vane1, of North Carolina to issue his extraordinary proclamation, published a day or two since, invoicing tho people ot thai State to ptand by the Confederacy. Then is, without donbt, an important rcprcscntHtivo in Richmond from (ienT Vorey, commanding the French forces in Mexico, whose mission is to ascertain lrom the Confederate i ivernment at what points French trooji air desired for tho .service of the Southern Confederacy.
