' i : ; cOIFEOBIUTB STATES OV AMERICA. ; WtLMlNOTOS, N. C., THURSDAY, JANUAEY 29, 18(J - - Somb friend baa ..placed in our possession a copy ot V the , Abolition sbt printed in VVeshihgton, N. C, dated the 29tb of December, 1862. Immediately on der tbe Editorial head appears a proclamation from tfct tsroald be-Governor Stanly, ordering an election for a member of tbe Federal OoDgress from tbe 2od District of North Carolina ; said election to take place on tbe first of this monlb. It is not stated wbo tbe Candida t was. Then comes a long, glowing account of Fostxb's advance on Goldsbcro, which, eg usual, is lull of lies It says they took over five hundred prisoners, anion whom were two Colonels, and several other officers. Also eleven pieces of artillery. The latter we know to be false, and tbe first is tho false so far as the number of pruonsrsia concerned. Tbey claim to have met cur forces, which they put at seven thousand. It is well known this is utterly false, as we never had two thousand engaged at anj time. Tbey admit a loss cf one hundred and fifty killed, wounded aod missing, amongst tbem, one Colonel, od Captain and one Lieutenant. The account farthei says the troops cf tbe . Abolitionists were greatl e'ated, and clamorous to be Ud to Raleigh. Wondei vi hy tbey were not led on ! 1 Not a word is saic about their repulse from Neuse Bridge. But, to re'um to tbe Artillery. We have never heard of any Artillery engngiig the enemy, txcept the t of Capt. Bunting's and Capt. Starr'e, and we are credibly informed tha' but eight pieces of these two batteries six cf Eun ting's aod two of Starr's were in the fiht at all. . How could the enemy have captured eleven pieces ? Capt. Bunting lest two and Cpt. Starr one piece. Tbeee three pieces is the cam total of our loss in field Ani'lery. 1 he following paragraph is the richest cf the whole article : Ccrapary K, 3d N. Y. ctvalry, Capt. Cole, charged aero four rerp oitcb tight lct,wide and tock seven yUc(no ariijieiy Bid trot ght It-cm off in triumph tmokirg hot Next comes an article headed "Despotic Act," with a short introduction to a long Editorial from the Hal eigb St n.d i d, relative to the arrtst of Mr. Graves. It apuears the enemy take great pride in copying from the SuiT.d.if We find in tbe advertising columns under tbe bead "Official", the appointment of Isaiah Respass, by EJward o'fanly, to "assume charge of vacant and abandoned build. r 9, with power to assign, leas an-i rent tbe tame," aLd bis appointment as Naval Strr i ppector. R spass' epp kitment is dated the 15h " last August. Ue is tiu'y a C: tutjct for the ab.-liti-r "Liovifci-r" to bestow favors en. This war w I; e soare time, and Respar-a will be duly remembend. Tss enemy evidently contemplates a eirnuitat.' t -j.- ; advance; upon all the lias Le has eehctcd lcr aa attHck. and tLi-j at a very early iay. Under the itr.pic3.iou perhaps, that Lms'reet has gone to Tennessee to reir f rce lire?;-, thus wealemrig Lee's army, aa well as that tbe same armj has b ea further weakened for tie pnrp see of strengthening our lines in this State, Gene ral Bcrnside think? the time has come for strikii e " the rtbtliion " a mortal blow on tbe RuprahauncC',: and in order to make thst blow tu ctual, I ohTP is to! try bis hai d in North Carolina in the way of cutting j OH railroad communication and raising tbe blockade f Wilmicgfon by capturing the place. About this Fos ter expedition, cr thifu. Foster expeditions, there hba been a good deal of mystification. Either the weather, or tronole in their own cacrp, or news of the meats provided for their receptfon at the different threatened points h&s delated their mortmenti, perhaps with tbe view cf providing nddkioaal meni of oUenca to coun ter balance tbe audition?.! means of defence which tbey have ascertained to exist. One cr all of these causes may have operated to prevent tbeir moving as per pro gramme ; or they msy have only been making feints, so fir, but we cannot disguise from ourselves tbe fact that within a few hours sail of Wilmington, the enemy has tie most formidable ccmbictd hied and sea force he has yet sent out agaiust a single seaport, cumbering over one hundred transports, at least two " Monitors," and poesihiy ether hs3 formidable iroa-clads, with Sjce eighteen cr twenty heavily armed wooden vescc's of war; the transports being fcufScient to carry twenty-five thou sand men at least, while a similar lorci may be sint over laid. This Utter supposition, although highly probable is mure conjectural. Alay we not, in view cf these lactF, expect tho enemy's fe ced movements to be scon cbangtd into aiealand formidable attack ? Hava wa anyasiu ranee tbat the storm, when it does buret, will cot buitt upon us ? Ou tse contrary, hava we not every warnitg tQ fut our hougi iu oidtr and be prepared far whatevtr may come, cot indulging in a false security because the s ttack bus cot already come, and therelore felicitating ourselves with the notion that it cannot or wil not come at all ? We do not eav that tie formidable preparations cow made or miking at r tautort are certainly designed tor the eapturd cf ibis place, or that they may not possibly receive another direction. They may have relereac0 to Charleston, but tbe appearance cf things cirtainly gives a strong preponderance of weight to the opinion that icdicatts this point t-n at least their first destination. No doubt tbe enimy would much prefer to get pos Besaiou ot tbe Riilroad at Welden, or even at Golds boro', bat he ha3 found that, with our troops moviog on aa interior line, we can always concentrate a suffi cient orce to rerel him at any point distant from bis base of operation and of transportation, to wit, his fleets. Iltrnce is rendered probable his attack on Wil mington, Bince in such attack ha may expect to receive the assiaiance of his navy. This same co-operation ol ships or gun-boats will de termine tbe character and direction of the Spring cam paign ia the Southwest, now that the rivers'of that seciiou are or will soon be in boatable order. We may e pect tbe entmy to make ail the use of this arm that h possibly can during the n xt three months and a hah, and hence may we look for seaboard attacks and river raids. Let cs hope for the best. The night of our beict trial draws towards a close and day is at hand, but once more, for a short lime, the gloom may close iu ap parently thicker and more impervious than ever. But oat ot ttiia dmkness will cams light, which wilJ grow brighter and br gbttr until ihe periect day. Arrested. We learn tbat a man named B. A. IIowBLL,who is, or reprteenU himself as being a Captain in the CoLf.-der-ate Berv.cj, was arrested here luesdav, as having broken out of the jai of Lamberton, Robeson county, some four or five years since, wbere he was confiued od a charge of murder.

He was reonized aid identified by a gentleman in the passport tffie, where he hd gene to get a pas3port. "We have no tidicga of the entmy on our coast, farth er than the report brought to Goldsboro' yesterday, by a - respeciable refagte from Beaufort" It has been heretofore slated that tbe AboUtion fleet was waiting at that port for favorable weather to make a move on Wilminstoa.

Cotton could be raised with profit at leg's than ten cents per pound. We are nowp.jing fifty to sixty cents per pound for it.

Before the court of Inquiry ou McDowell in Wash ington, the following letier from Lincoln to MeClellan was reed It dtsrvt attentive perusal and perpetual preservation : To Mj General McClbllas : Sly Dear Sir : Yourd-ispuicheg, complaining that you are not proper ly btiiUiintd, while ibey do not effend me, pain rae vety much. Blenker's Division was withdrawn before yoa left hen , and you know the pressure under which I did it, sod, as I thought, acquiesced in it, certainly not without reluctance. After you left I ascertained tbat le t' au 20.000 uacrganiz d men, withcut a field batte ry, were aii you designed bhould be left for the defense of Washington and Manassas Junction, a part of this eveu wb to go to General Hooker's old position. Gen. B inks' corps, occe designed for fil anassas Junction, wae divWe-J ar,d tied up on the line o? Winchester and Stras burg, and could not leave tbat position without again exposing the Uppfrr Fotoni c aud tbe Baltimore and Oiiio Bailroad. '1 his presented, or would present, when McDowell and Sumner should be gone, a great temptation for tbe ene my to turn back from the Rappahannock and sack W aahir.gion. My explicit directions that Washington, buatained by the judgn e tof all tbe commanders of corps should be h ft secure, bad been entirely reflected. It wa3 prteistly this tbat drove rue to detain McDowell. I d i not forget tbat I was satisfied with your arrange ment to leave Banks at Manassas Janotioo. But when tbat arrangment was broken up, and nothing was sub stitute d lor it. of course 1 was not satisfied. I was con st ruined to subs' tu e something for it myself. And now allow me to ask you, do you really think I could permit 'he line from Richmond via Manassas Junction to this city to 1 e entirtly open except what resistance could be prtstnted by lets than 20,000 unorganized troops? I'Lia is a question which the country wi.l not allow me to evade. There is a cm ioas mjstery about tbe nn ruber of troops now with you I telegraphed you on the Ctb, saying that yoa had over one hundred thousand with you. I bail just obtained from the Secretary of War, a state ment taken, as he said, from y.iur own returns, making 103,000 then witb you cod en route to you. You cow uny you will have but 85,000 . when nil en route sbU haVd reached you. How can this discrepar cy ot 35.000 be accoun'ed lor ? As to Gen. Wool's command I un derstand that it is doing precisely what a like number of your own wou'd have to do if that command was away. I suppose he whole force which has gone for ward to you has reached you by this time ; and, if so, I thick it is tbe precise time for you to strike a blow. By delay, the enemy will readily gain on you ; that is, he will griu laeter by fortifications and reinforce raents than you can by reinforcements alone. AnJ once more let roe te'l you, it is indispensable to you that you strike a blow. I arn powerless to help. This you will dome thej'istice to remember, I was only opposed to going down tbe Bay iu search of a ft .-Id, instead offight icj at or near MauKsaas, as only shifting and not ear oiouutiag a diSeuiiy ; that we would had ihesam ene my and the same or ttjual entrenchments at either place. The country will cot tail to note is noting uow that the preseut hesitation to move upon an intrenched ene my is but the story of Manassas repeated. I leg leave to assure ycu tbat I have never written or spoken to you in greater kindness of lepling tsan now, n( r with a fuller purpose to sustain you so far as in my most r.r vious jaJgment I consistently can.

Tbe army correspondent of the Char'e(on Courier, rrritiag frost Kinstou in tbjg State, gir the following account cf a n.i!itry txeca tio?5 v, ...Ii ' i U pi .? there last wcvk : Kinstj.s N.

A morbid enriosity to eetk at d witLtsi whatever is revolting, i c mmon to all naturej tbat Lure betn hardened fcy ihe asfociatiutis of camp ; and accordingly when a mourr.fii! ct rtge con sisting of n redo w?gon drawn by a pair ot mules, a ?ad looking prisoner w;ih bis bands tied bebio 1 him, and a dozen trooLrs cs a guard, pafsed through tbe s reets, it soos gathered in its train a motley crowd of black and white, who followed iu procession to the plncc of ex ecution. The unrae of the culpiit was Michael Bryant, of iLe C3d Regiment of North Carolina Cavalry ; hi age, about thirty six ; and his oQcncc, dtrtion not. how ever, to the ranks of tbe euuniy. Arrested, he was dnly tried by a Court Martial, and it being necessary tbat an example should be made to check a growing evil in the army, he wa9 Ftntccced to be "shot to death." It was not until tha morning of his execution that the poor fellow became aware of the day or hour that was to terminate his career, but he had evidently been pre pared for tbe crisis, and when the fact was announced, it fell upon a .eart nerved to brave death come in what shape it might. And this compos'! re never left him. Reaching the place of execution, which was in a Geld adj jinirjg the encampment of his old command, the cor tege baited in front of an ominou3 looking black coffin, behind which was a stake. The guard alighted, and the i risoner, strong and buoyant as if be was the least among the actors of tbe drama, also leaped lightly from tbe vehicle end took hie seat upon the narrow box that was eo soon to enclose him forever. An officer then advanced and bound him by the arms firmly with his oack to tbe stake. I now had an opportunity of ob eervin the prisoner more closely. He was clad in an every day suit of citizens' clotbrs, with his pantaloons carelessly tucked in the top of his boots, and as he sat there, watching the prep irations for the tragedy, look ing upon the fices of his old comrades with whom he had been associated in camp and field, alone and help les witb ihv agony of death so near, and eternity al ready opening to his vision, the acutest observer would bave failed to detect the faintest indications of tremor on his person. Stern, strong, calm as a statue he wait ed until the regiment, on foot, was filed into position before him. After a lapsa of six minutes, came the Equad of twelve, who were to act as bis executioners, and stood twelve paces distant. The Adjutant of tbe Regiment then read the verdict of the court martial. 1 his done, one ol the guard approached to tie a handkerchief over tbe face of tbe prisoner. Then, for the first time, did I notice anything ia his bearing which seemed to indicate tbat he waa not already totally dead to feeling. A glanoe cf his eyes to the Heavens, as if he waa invok ing Divine irercy, a barely perceptible change of coun tenance, and an expression of unutterable sadness, told of a feat fal strngglethat was going od within. A mo ment's pmse and tbe t fScer in command, in a low tone, gave the order, Ready 1 aim 1 (twelve riflti, six witb blank cartridges, were bearing on the prisoner 'r heart, and the click of the twelve triggers left bat a ttooud bttween tte life and iiath,) Cr r : J " Hardly tad the stooftere ilwnrd issued' rom the lip I when the ii&fv of the n- fort m ate roan, ftiercad bv six balls, srwnuk convulsitely ficn the .ahock, the ce dropped upon the, breast, aod a dtep chih tell of aa eb bing life.

West Tennessee. I bey are as follows : Gen. Forrest left Columbia about the 25'-h Novem ber, crops, d the Tennccase River at Clifton with but little difficulty, passed over the billy couutry thai ilea betwieri the IVnncsj5 River t.nd Bush Crek, near Lexington. Here he met with his first resistance. Two pieces ol artiilt ry aud eleven huodrid Federal cavalry came cut from Jacks jn to dispute his passage. Attar a short fkirmisb, Col. Rasisll, with three companies of Forrest's old regiment, charged tbe artillery, took tbe two pieces, sod put the eleven hundred cavalry to flight. Tbt-y were followed through Lexington and in five miles cf Jackson. As tbey passed Lexington, car cavalry was so nvxed up with theirs that it was diGealt to ted 'he oi spatt. ii ere an amusing incident took plaee. As ono ( f our cavalry mtn fired his horse jumped, which caus d him to miss his mark ; he having no sa bre, rod immediately at full speed up to the Federal, and gave bim a lick with bis fist somewhere about tbe j ear, which " dropped him." The Federal jumped up with both bands raised, and said, i surrender now, sir" ' He moved on towards Jackson, and engaged them, after cutting the railroad above and below Jackson. i Jackon was strongly fortified, their forcei estimated at irom thirteen to twenty tbonsand infantry, and four batlerie?. besides haviug.several siege guns in position. He knew it was useltes totry to take the place, and only intended bis attack es a feint, to draw their forces frcm Humbol.lt and Trenton, and cover his operations at these two placis. He succeeded in capturing Hum boldt and Trenlou, the esrae.dayhe fought them at Jackson, with the loss of only two men killed and three wounded burned three million dollars worth of army stores, brought off a large cumber of wagons, mules acd negroe?, destroyed all the railroads around there, and puroled one thousand prisoners. He marched from Trenton to Middleburg, from Middleburg to Dresden, irom Dresden to McLernoresville, destrojing the rail road a he wrnt ; from McLtraoreaville he passed be tween Huntingdon and Clarkesburg. At the former place there were 8000 federals, and at the latter 4000, to iutercept his march, and as they said " to cut For rest and capture him." lie passed on to Parker's Cross Roa's, wbere he met 4000 Federals under Gen. Sullivan, fought them for five hours with hia little com mand, killing, as they acknowledge, 600, captured 3, 400 prisoners and six pieces of artillery. But just as they had surrendered, a force of 8000 cams up in time to save their " bacon " and spoil our " pie." When the prisoners found their reinforcements had arrived, they rushed to their stack of arms, acd commenced firing on us again. Of course, being overpowered, we bad to retire. In this fight the fearless Colonel Napier fell at the head of his regiment, leading it in a charge. The in trepid Major Strange, of General Forrest's staff, waa taken prisoner here. Oar loss iu this fight was not over a hundred and fifty killed, wounded and prisoners. During General Forrest's whole raid into West Ten nestt e, he destroyed twelve hundred miles of railroad that cannot be rebuilt in twelve months ; cut down ard burnt five miles of trestle across tbe Ohio swamps, four millions worth of army stores, paroled 1500 prisoners, killed and wounded 1000, armed his men with the best arms in tne Federal service, clothed 'all his men well, and brought off seventy-five wagons loaded witb stores, and lost not exceeding 200 men daring the entire trip This expedition baa shown Gen. Forrest to be one of tbe bravest, most skillful and daring efficera in the Con-, federate service. IxfiRCirTED CoBBXsroxDKxcs. The National In telhgmur has published Mr. Benjamin's fetters to Messrs Mason and Siidell, recently intercepted. We see nothing in them to give much comfort to tbe enemy. Au allusion to Earl Rassell'a want of civility to Mr. Mason, and Mr. Benjamin's suspicion of French designs on Texas, are tbe only matters of interest. The ground Of Mr. B'e suspicion is, that France intends to bold Mtxico, ani wants a weak Power between its new Col ony and tbe Confederate Stata ; and also wanta an in dependent cotton supply, which 1'exai a' weas nation and dependent on France, would aficrd.

Yet such ia the fact. Butler ia making a profound sensation at Wash too. Lincoln senda in a sp eial message to the Senate accompanying the sword of Geo.

They hate slavery, not because it gives pain to tbe slave, but because it gives pleasure and profit to tba owaer of the slave. They are now endeavoring to enjoy the double pleasure of tormenting the slave and the owner of the slave. Their seal for the abolition of slavery is not because tbey love the slave, but because tbey bate the owner of tbe slave. . Richmond Whig. New usb cr thi Stimoboops.
