Marino Ttocble. -In the Convention on Wednesday last. Mr. Badger o fie red a resolu tion requesting Gov. Clark to demand the r J. turn or a air. n co-TTurau.inormea oi una State, he having been arretted and confined in Richmond. It will be remembered that this man Respass was Major of Washington, N.C. at the time the Yankee visited that place, and he is accused of having welcomed the Yankees to the town and then escorted them kbout. lie was verjr properly arrested and sent to Richmond. Mr. Cadger's resolution is only calculated to do harm and bring the .State authorities into conflict with the Confede rate authorities, and it is to be hoped it will not pas.;fThe arrest of Kespass was right, anu it is tune mat every suspicious cnarac Iter in the south was arrested and examined.

It appears to be enough that a man f " accused" ot a crime.

Nobody objects to the arrest of Respass. It is the, military instead of the civil feature of the case, the tiansponatinn to another State, and . the punishment w ithout trial, which are com plained of by some of the best citizens in the State, of all parties, who, for so doing, are insulted by the advice to "disperse and go home.' The Wilminston Journal too complains of this movement in the Convention about lies- j pass, and save, I "There is no more doubt in the mint) of any human being ot the treason of Mr. lies pass, th (ate major ot Washington, N. C, than if he had been taken in flagrante dclictu, in the very act." Perhaps to. But we will wait. The Journal's statement is so sweeping, and so positive, on a point as to which ol couise it cannot know anything, that we at once con clude the Journal knows nothing about the matter. It has a habit of talking that way. If we are not mistaken, the Journal was quite as well satisfied a few days ago that Uen. Lovell was a traitor for surrendering New Orleans. The question is not whether Respass is guilty or innocent j nobody but the Jour nal has said anything about that but, was it proper to set aside the civil tribunals, and to subject him to f ranrportation and milita ry punishment ? That is the question ; and it is ono that lies at the foundation of Civil Liberty and of individual safety. I'. S. So far had we written when Satur day's Standard brought us the following astounding article, showing that for want ol the Journal's testimony Itcspass has been honorably acquitted ! " No doubt in the mind of any human being of the treason of Mr. Respass;" yet he has been honorably acquitted, under every disadvantage as to place of trial, absence of witnesses, &c. Kcad the following ; From the Raleigh Standard. ISAIAH RESPASS, ESl. . Mb. 11 olden : hope as an act of common justice to that falsely accused and much in jured man, my son-in-law, above named, that the Standard, and all other papers in the State which lately published the fact that he had been arrested and incarcerated in a dungeon in rticliBJ Vb, w-vKe-miHtarT authorities, for trial, upon a charge of treason. ;u mmm pwbtigtrthia article, to inform their readers that he was tried last week, by a Court Martial of their own selection, and upon the testimony of their own witnesses, (for none were allowed to him, not even the benefit of an argument of the case by his counsel) he was " honorably acquitted" a.i says the record of the Court, and that the prosecution was false and malicious, lie was, thereupon, discharged from prison to return home. On Tuesday last, he reached here, and the next day visited the State Convention, then in session and the same evening left for Goldaborough, bearing a letter from Gen. AVinder to Gen. Holmes, announcing his honorable acquittal and dis charge. .It is also due to the Hon. Messrs. Bridg- ers, Smith and Arlington, members of Con gress from tins State, that I should sav, in this connection, on their hear r.y that Mr. Reenasa had li-pn fmm h bed in his own house, at a late hour of the ..w... night, by a military force, when he was scarcely recovered from a Ions and danger ous illne.ss. and allowed one minute, only, to hurry on the clothes he had worn the dav before, but not permitted to take any other with him. and was confined in that den of infamy, McDattiel's negro jail, they appeal ed to the military authorities of Richmond to allow Mr. Respass the benefit of the pri son limits as essential to his health, perhaps even to his life, aud they would stand bail for him in any sum that might be required averring, from their knowledge of his char acter and personal acquaintance with him, that they were enviwed he was a falsely accused and Injured man.

LOVLL The accounts in the New Orleans papers of events preceding and attending the sur- manifest that the true men of that city did nit blame him, but on the contrary they manifested for htm the utmost respect. When sent for by the Mayor to meet the 1 Yankee officer who canie.to demand the stir- .render, Oen. Lovell was greeted with loud 'cheers by the crowd." In reply to the 1 an- ikee demand, Oen.

The Gen. then mounted his horse, and accompanied by his staff, rode to the. Jackson railroad, where he took the last car, having already gent his army ahead of him." - Another New Orleans paper says : . " We understand that General Lo'vell'a speech yesterday, made at. the City Hall, af forded tbe liveliest pleasure to the assembled crowd. His determination not to surrender a man, and to take bis own time in evacua ting; the citv. and the challens-e which la. extended the enemy to meet him in the f 1 .1. a. ... neiu.au leuaea greatly to relieve the public sense of humiliation and to restore nub lie confidence." ; - It is shown, also, that the batteries below the citv did resist the eneruv's aDnroach as long as they could. i-irnir-iwafani'mn A BRAVE STANDARD BEARER. . ; : At the battle of Shiloh, two of the stan dard bearers of the " Confederate Response Battalion" were cut down early -in the ac-. tion, when Major Clack called out for a vol unteer lobear the standard. Private Harris a gallant soldier, resident in the Fourth District, and a member of the police, stepped forward and offered to bear the flag whither soever his commander directed him. " Take that flag, sir, and never yield as long as you can hold it," exclaimed Major Clack. " Aye ! aye! sir," responded Harris. Shortly after wards, there being some hesitation in the line, the gallant General of the Brigade, J. Patton Anderson, rode up, and grasping the flag staff which Harris was waving in front of the line, ordered him to deliver it to him. Harris refused, and told the General to let go the flag, as he was ordered not to give it un. adding. "1 v,iLtake it wherever ,jrtu command mer Then you will do; go ahead," ordered the General; and Harris boldly advanced with the standard, the whole line followed him and swept over the bat teries, . carrying, everything before them.' Throughout the subsequent conflict Harris bore the standard, and even when his right, hand was badly shot, he clung to it with the left, and never relinquished it until our vic tory was complete. Harris's wound proved a severe one, and he has come home to have it properly attended to. The standard of the Confederates was riddled with bullets, and pre sents a verv tattered a?pect, but it will ever be a noble 'and proud trophy of the courage and resoluti vi ie man who bore it so no bly through all the terrible scenes of that eventful day. X 0. tklta. NEED OF PATIENCE. In this world of trial and sorrow, how great is the need of patience. In business there are a thousand irritating circomstinccs which chafe and fret the soul. Men ate dis honest, deceitful, hard-hearted, exacting, fault-finding debtors do not pay and credi tors are importunate. In the domestic cir cle there is need of patience. The husband maybe neglectful, unkind; the wife fretful, extravagant, inconsiderate ; the children tur bulent, passionate, disobedient. Time are. indeed, in every walk and department f life, briars and nettles that prickle and sr:n" , and to endure thera and not be injured" e have need of patience. The philosep'i of living well, is to use att blessing anJ all trials so as to work out our gojtl. "', foolish life is distinguished by perverting blessing to a curse and converting no iie into blessings. To extract gooJ from every thing and all circumstances we must have pa tience. ... . ... It is not the great trials of 1" ?"'m w"lc!lt we receive the most injury, nor indeed is it under these we need the most pawnee.
