It can hardly be regarded as a fact it really looks a3 though he had not been rucnitg at all. The thing is so whol ly one-sided that it has already ceased to posEess any interest at all. There is not sufficient contest to make it interesting. It is hardly worth wbi!e to speculate upon the causes which produced this result. They are too plain they lie too tear the 8urfa2e to render aDy explanation j necessary. Bat to one thing we may allude, and that is the fhct that many man who in everything hsd gon2 with Mr. Holden, ucd if they had wished to vote so as to carry cut the policy they themselves had advoca ted, would have voted and ought to have voted for Mr. Bildej, poblic menwfcohad oat-IIoldened Holden himseif svbo hsd functioned all the utterances of the so-Ciiled peace meetings " to hud favored the call ing of a Sthte ConvtDtioa for the same purposes that Mr. Holden had favored it, suddenly fiad themselves strong Vanc men when they 83C that Mr. Holden La9 no foi t of cbaLce.

They seemei to re cognise the fact that God could cot smile upon the war they were waging upon worsen and children and old men, yet such is lhdr every day occupation, and their avoidance of it on ote day is but a mockery and a de ception, which they practice upon tle-nselves, but can not practice upon God. How these men, with hands red with slaaghter, ae d hearts black with hatred and crime, can dare approach their rxaker with prayers which can cnly be regarded as blasphemies, or Ijo'pe for forgiveness whilst abound ing in arrogance and presumption, is a thirg which we are unable to understand. There may be some good and pious men in the YaD kes armies, p?rba ps there are but these men are declin ed- Thev are to be tititd. But men like Likcols a and Seward ore not deceived and are not good and pi OU3 men. Their whining ever Lnmiliation end prayer to Almighty God i3 neiiher more nor kes than hypocrisy of the "mosi straitest sret." Atd vet it naavfce that tleee men have some idea tf of dep-recating the divine wrath which they have justly incurred. The devils them3i!vc3 believe end tremble, and so may tb-.ae earthly fi.nda. But they shculd bring forth fonh fruits meet for repentance, showing them selves sorry f- r the evil thc-y have done, ceesicg longer to work iniq-ii'y, and mk:n refutation to the utmost cf their power. 7hn indeed-even Li.nojln and Sew abd might not d epair of mercy, wicked as they are, nor do we pie etd to eay that Butler himself has sinned beycLd redemption.

'ihe Colonel was introduced by Hon. S. J. Person, who alluded in a few leeling remfirks to the objects fcr which tLe Colonel WuS laborit-g, and paid a deserved tribute to the gallantry and euSerirgs of the Kentucky svldie.s in th.3 Confederate army, and to th? patriotism and disinterested cliorts of theic distinguished advo cate. The Colonel's lecture proper, was, we suppose, ornate and scholarlike, buf, being in the nature of abstract generalization, rather didactic than oratorical, more like reading out ot a bock than talking as m an to man, gave less scope to tha Colonel's peculiar powers, and, we think, exsited less interest in b's audience than did the larger ord mora characteristic portion devoted to the special objects of h?3 mission a vindication of Kentucky BLd an appeal on behalf of her suf fering soldiers. His reference to President Dati3, to Stonewall Jacklon and to Gen- ral Lee Were eioqu-iit sod impress.ve. But it was with his loot udou his native beam when he speka of lis native .State with the feeling of a long absent but still devoted son, that the speaker gave the fullest seep? to Lis pewasas an impassioned orator, and if there was at times a pro;a3ion c imagery, that, while it dszz'ed, sometimes confused th.2 mind, and might be liable to the criiicicm cf a colder, and: per haps, more correct tate, few would care to put res traint upon a son of Kentucky, defending the Loner aDd fajicg tribute to the virtues of hi? bdeved moth er of a man pleading ihe cause cf his suffering broth ers and country m?n. We confess oarsolv'.s unable lo assent to seme of the Colonel's history and philosophy, bat that may have arisen from cur inability to .comprehend or follow him at times. Something of that kkd, wc suppose. We h-ive rcssoa to believe that Cel. Dawson's efforts here have b-:tn crowned with a mesi gratifying euccrsa, due mainly, no doubt, to tha efforts of the ladies of the Soldiers' Aid Society, to whom the orator paid a moet glowing tribute. The object for whhh Colons! Dawson labors i3 a most noble one, and we trust that hia appeals may ev ery where meet willi a piompt and liberal response. We feel unable, and we conceive it to be uunecepsary to go into, or even attempt any lengthened report. Those at other points who wish to hear what the Col onel has got to F3.y, will go and bear him, and thus enjoy the pleasure of listening to his oratory, and be certain of contributing to a nobis obiact. It was announced at the conclusion that any persons who had not contributed, and were aaxioos to contrib ute, could do so by sending their contributions to the President of tha Ladies Soldiers Aid Society, Mrs. A. DeRosset. For the Journal. FAYSTrEvitLE, N. C, Acg. 23, 1864. ME33H3. FDITOR3 : lhe Bon Jee G.

Ttey were ail tbe sons be had, and he had contracted to sell them both .s suDstitutes. iney naa been bargained for by "loyal" men. The smaller oce, almost a mere ct i.'d, was prospectively the properly cf a loud mouthed and pestilent Aboiiticmst a hege beaet ot aman, who stood six feet in his Btockin?s, and weigh :J over 200 pounds. This intensely "loyal" and " patriotic ' fellow when his own son, a sturdy, well grown young man, enlisted, followed bim to Cbarobertburg.nnd brought him back home on the plea that he was a minor, and had enlist ed without fcis lather's consent. Yet je is always full of wir, aLd e&ecr-tor fightiDg so long as it ia at the ex pense of tbe blood of Borne ooe else than himself or his own family. Being drafted, however, and wishing to lesf n the probability of such a misfortune befalling him j agt in speedily, tnd impelled at tbe same to save a little money, te had bargained with a brutal father to pay a ! less sum than three hundred dollars for the body, the bones, the bio. : d, ney, more, the life of a child. 1 Tbe father was actuated solely by a sjrdid desire for gaiu ; the purchaser w as moved by the sneaking, white-1 tivered cowardice that forbade his risking his own worthless carcase in a war for the prosscutioa of which j he howls daily, ar d by the mean selfishness of h;s na- ture, which prompted him to m&ke a cheap bid when j bartering for a human victim. A plot had been made i np by the parties to this disgusting transaction by wnicn tney toped to ceceive me xoara. ine Doys were made to lie as to their agesand represented them selves as older than tbf y really were. So immature and youth.'ul, however, was the appearance of the little wretches, that the Board refused to believe tbe state ments made to them, even though the father himsdf lied as to their ages, in order that he might be enabled to effect a sale of hia offspring. Tbey were both reject ed for this reason, as entirely too young for the service. The overgrown human brute, who had expected to save himseli in this way, sorrowfully and unexpectedly paid over bis mouey to 8a ve bis carcase for a time, and the wretched father, after reeling about our streets for a dy or so in drunkenness, went home, much disap pointed, no doubt, in being balked in the sals of his sons. There is no coloring about this story, no ficti tious gios3ing. It is tine, just as we tell it, and known to be so to the very letter by many who will read this statement. We nted make na comment.

Whpn the last steamer left Europe there was a fever ish anxietv to bear from A menca, though there was a .rpnprni imnrefiaiOB that wrant naa aeieaiea Aje. 11;- O . . . i vn t i teliigencd ol trie recent Daiues caa reacnea ingiana, but the account3 were meagre. Newspaper comments w: re indtfinite, and based upon sympathies and hopf s, rather than upon facts. The London Herald, speaking of the war, says : Tbe hero ot New Orlean baa, probably, by this time learned the difference between bullying buutbern women and fighting Southern soldiers. For the fire, time m bis life he has ventured to lead an army into tbe field ; perhaps he bes been under hre, unless, knowing what he had to expect if he should fall into Confederate bands, he baa thought it expedient to Keep- bis distance from danger. vVe shall ail await anxiously the next mil, which will bring us news from the Virginia battle fields. If the skill of Gen. Lee and the heroism of hia troops should prove insufficient to countervail the superior numbers of tbe enemy ; if the Virginia army should be driven back into Richmond, even it it should finally be compelled to evacuate the city and leave tie capital of the Confederacy a prey to the invader, the South win not oe conquered. Lt will take two years to con quer Virginia and North Carolina and to re-conquer iennessee : and then the Confederates win stand on tbe frontier of the cotton States with concentrated forces. and a rich territory behind them, and in perfect securi ty against any attach upon tbe rear. Bat such a dis aster as the defeat of Lee would no doubt postpone for years the recognition of the Confederacy and the ter mination ot the war. If, on the other hand. General Grant should meet the fate of McDowell, McClellan, Pope, Bornitde and MooKer; n ine army oi the Potomac snouid be hurled back, beaten and broken, it is at least probable that the war will be virtually terminated. The North can- not raise another army, and, aa Mr. Chase admitted, a disaster in the field would bring total ruin to its finan ces, reduce greenbacks almost to'worthleesness, shake to the ground its fictitious prosperity, and parafyza at once the resources of Government and tbe courage of tbe people. We will not say that Grant's overthrow would make peace certain, but, at least, it would ren der peace for the first time probable. There ia a disposition in tbe North to regard this campaign as a last eff ort ; and there is no disposition whatever to endure tbe sacrifice which another cam paign would re quire. Aod it may well be doubted whether, in such a case, pressure from without " mfgbt not be applied to increases the despondency within ; wbether.Europe would be justified in withholding any longer the recognition of a nation which, would, by each a victory, make clear to the mfBt reluctant cbsevation the complete and irrevocable establishment of its national independence. Physical Pain of Death. A paragraph is going the rounds of the papers giving the opinion of Lord Bacon and others, that the pain of hanging is incon siderable. It is asserted, for example, tbat after a mo mentary feelirg of suffocation, bright colors dance before the eyrs acd stretch away into vittas of indes cribable loveliness. There is co reason to doubt the truth of this declaration, because numerous instances have occurred of persons beii g cut down before life was extinct ; and it was on the auth'-rity of well-authenticated examples of this character that-Loid Bacon and others founded their opinion. Moreover, hanging, in its effect on the human organism, produces results very similar to those produced by eome natun.1 diseases, so that this also affords a criterkn for judging. .In cases of drowning, likewis?, the testimony is universal tbat the physical pain, up to the moment of conscious ness being lost, is quite iDCOuBiderab.'e. Tbe same phe nomena of motes, stars and beautiful lights dancing beic re the ejes has often been mentioned by individuals restored after apparent death by drowning. It is nearly certain indeed, as certain cs anything chit fly speculative can be that in oil deaths tb6 phy sical Euffering is small. Even where invalids experi ence the most excruciating agony during the progress ot tbe disease, nature comes to tl eir relief at tbe laet hour, and life goes out gently, like a car.diein the sock et. Those who Kve witnessed death beds most fre quently, epecia!'y if they have been intelligent persons, and therefore capable of judging, agree generally in con sidering the physical pain cf death as inconsiderable. I hey eay that tbe cor vulsiv; motiens, which frequent ly attend the parting breath, are not evidtECts of suf fering, for that the invalid is insensible. They say al so, that when the eers:s are retained, there is usually no such spasm. A leading medical authority states tbat scircely one person in fifty iB sensible at tha point of death, and some physicians assert that ihfy bp.ve n:V er seen a death bed in which the ra ient was sensible. As life fai's, nature, it would seem, ber eficently inter poses, deidening tbe sensibility of the nerves, ar.d otber wite preparing the individual lor the great aad inevita ble change. We find in a late issue of the Cornhill Magazine the following graphic account cf the experience of a night in Charleston, at the time when the bembarduaunt v-os stiil a novelty to our people : v Oa the 21st August, at half prst 1 A. M., I wes ly ing on my bed in the Charleston Hotel, uubie tc deep from the excessive heat, acd listei ii'g to the monoto nous eound of the cannonade ki-ot ud oa the e naaiv's position from the battc-rifs on James Inland. R ;sth S3 atid weary of ihe night, I bad lighted a cndle io defi ance ol the mafquitoes, and sought to tassaway the time with a volume of Lts Mieerab'es." It happened to be the one containing the aec not of tbe battle oi Waterloo, and whiie oeeply interested in the descrip tion of the rtishirg f qudrcns cf cuirassiers I was star tled by a noise that, from connection wiih my reading, resembltd the whirr of a phantom brigade of cavalry, galloping in mid air. My first feeling was that of utter astonishment but a craab, succeeded by a deafening explosion in the very street on which rayapartmoat was situate, brought m-i, with a bound, into the t entre of the room. Looking from the window, I saw fire and smoke is-uing from a house in which wt-re stowed the drus of the medical purveyor. A watchman v s running Irdntically down the street, arid, when be reached the corner jast below me, commence d striking with his staff against the curb a a signal of ai i- in practiced among the Char lesion police. At first I thought a meteor had fallen ; but another awtul rush aod whirr right over the hotel, and another explosion beyond, settled any r'oubts I nrgbt have had tbe city was being shelled. People are not given to iaugbkg under tueb circumstances, but I will defy sny one who winessed what I witnessed on leaving my room not to have given way to mirth in moderation. The botel was crowded with spectators, who had been atiracted to the city by the sale of Borne blockade cargoes, and the corridors were filled with these terrified gentlemen, running about in the scantiest costumes and in the wild est alarm. One perspiring individuul, of pertly dimen sions, was trotting to and fro, with one boot on and the other in his hand, and this wds nearly all the dress he bad to boaet cf. Iu the excitement and terror bs had forgotten ihe number of Lis room, from which he tad ba3ttned at the first alarm, ard bis distress was ludicrou3 to behold. Another, in a semi state of nudity, with a por tion of his garments on his arm, barked the shins of every one iu his way to drag an enormous trunk to the stair case. On rerchicg the hall I fouud a motley crowd, some of whom, with the biggest word?, were cursing the Federal commanders. YVhirrJ came another shell over the roof, and down on their faces went every man of them, into tobacco juic? and segar ends, and clatter ing among tbe epittoona. I need not say that this isa class of men from whom the Confederacy hopes nothing ; on the contrary, by their extortion, practiced on a Buf fering people, tbey rave mada themselves execrated. If a shell could have fallen in their midst and extermin ated the whole race of buckstere, it would have been cf great benefit to the South. The population was now alonsed, the streets filled with women and children, making for the upper part of the city, where they could find comparative safety. The volunteer fire brigades brought out their engines, and parties of the citizen re 8erveswere organized rapidiy and quietly, to be in readiness to give assistance where required. - The first engine that reached the house struck by the first shell waa one belonging to a n?gro company, and at it they went with r. will, subduing the fire in a marvellous short time. At every succes sive whirr above them the cegroes s'uontcd quaint invectives against " cussed bcbolitionists, scatter ing lor saelter nntil the danger was pasied. Through the streets 1 went, and down to the battery promenade, meeting on my way sick and bed-r;dd3u peo pie, carried from their homes on mattress-: s, and mothers with lufauts in their arms, running tbev knew not whith er. Reaching the promenade, I cast my eyes towards tbe Ftderal position, and pnsently, be-youd James Is land, scress tbe tnaisa that eeparates it from Moms la land, came a flash, then a dull report, and after an in terval cf some secenda, a frightful rushing sound above me told the path tbat the shell had taken. Its fight must have been five miles. tSl-'ge of Chntlcston. THJtUE HUN D it ED AN'J NINETIETH DA.Y.

A most shocking murder was perpetrated near tbe Way Side Hospital in this place, between 12 and 1 o'clock Saturday night, on the per son of Mr. James Hcrah. His throat was cut almost from ear to ear. His out cries for "help", and "murder," were heard by the pec pie in the vicinity, but he was dead before any one reached him. It has not yet been ascertained who is the guilty person, tbough it is believ ed he ia a negro. An old straw hat and a little bow tucket, picked up on the spot where ths deed waa com mitted, and foot prints and marks of blood on too af ferent fences crossed in his fi ght, all indicate tbat the murder waa committed by Some negro whom Mr. H. meeting at that late hour had attempted to arrest. The whole town was greatly knocked, and scores came forward to tender their services to the authorities.

ARRIVAL OF OUR OPFICRRS. The exchange of prisoners, according to appointment, took place il the harbor Wednesday- forenoon, ourside of Fort Sumter, and nearly abreast Battery Wagner. About seven o'clock tbe Yankee prisoners to be ex changed, including Brigadier Generals Wessels, Sey mour, Sba'ler, Hickman and Scammon, were marched from their quarters in Broad street to Chisolm's Mill wharf, in charge of Captain Gayer, Provost Marshal, under escort of Captain Mobley's Company, acting as guard. . Major Striigfel!ow, Captains Warwick and Fraser, ol General Jones' Staff, and a number ot other officers and civilians, were present, and went with the boat for the purpesa of receiving our officers. Throagb the courtesy of Colonel Lay, officer in command, and Captain Gayer, the representatives ol the Pres3 also enjoyed the opportunity of being present and witness ing the exchange. The Yankee prisoners, about eight o'clock, embark ed on beard the s'eamcr Chesterfield, on which the white flag was hoisted, and proceeded down the harbor; tbe prisoners being restricted to tbe upper saloon of the steamer until past Fort Sarater. In going down tbe river, tbe torpeos aEd obstructions were admirably av.ied by the skillful hand of Captain Ferguson, who took the wheel utder hia own immediate charge.

The Cheeterfirld arrived at the appointed spot about nine o'clock' and dropped anchor. Soon after the Yn kee flag of truce steamer Ci'snaopolitai, with colors fly ing and a white fl.tg at the fore, came steaming up beau tifully, and acchort d immediately opposite the steamer Chestei field. A email boat was lowered trorr the for mer and an cffi.er sent in charge to esooit Col. Ly to the Yankee steamer.

So far the Federal campaign of 1864 has failed more completely than any ol its predecessors. The various movements have been sufficiently developed to enable us to speak positively or the general plan ; the design was of magnificent proportions, the forces and material employed iu.mense ; the results have been many disas ters, numerous repuites, frightful waste of life and trea sure, and not a single victory. The crand objective point cf the d:sUra waa the iso lation and capture of Richmond. The operations in the Southwest were designed to assist this ptj ct. Banks in Northern Louisiana and Smith in Somnern Arkan sas were directed to clear the right bank ol the Missis- ippi by aa advance with fcrcss supposed to be eufS- cient to defeat the Confederates in those States, destroy them or drive them into Texas, thus leaviLg tbe fither of waters free, and preventing any co-operation between the enemy east and west of tbe Mississippi. Liter a small force was to issue from V icksburg and march to ward Selmi, threatening the Confederate army in Gecr- gia nnder Johnston in the flaok and rear ; Seer man with the main Western army was to Dre&B: up at Chat- tanooga and move rapidly toward Atlanta, in the hope of defeating Johnston and captoring that important arsenal and depot, at least preventing any rtinforcf ment being sent from that quarter to Lee ; while atur" gis was to move from Memphis toward Chattanooga covering Shermau's communications and prtveDtir.; any dangerous interruption of bis supplies. Northward through Tennessee and Kentucky tberailwava vterl parded by large bodies of Western mitiiia called out for a hundred days' service. The forces employed I n these operations numbered fully two hundred and fin thousand men, of whom one r-ilf were nider Bherm-m'f immediate command. " uj At tbe beginning; of May, Grant proponed to buk up at Culpeper, where he lay a few milts north of Lie move rapidly by his left, east and sou h lo the iinc ijn of the Fredericksburg and Richmond and Virgini (j & tral railwajs, ihus getting between Lee and Rich mond and threatening that city from the northwe t while Sigel was to advance down the Sbenaodoan a-d with the co-operation of Crooks and Averill, destro? Lee's communication with Western Virginu and l eu -nessee, capture Lyuchburg and the supplies gather there, aud to break up tho railway lines west Cf Rich mond. Simultaneously Butler and Smith ncre to ascend the James river destroy the Petersburg rad way, capture that city, break up the Danville and Richmot d ho , ucd ipsolate and threaten the Confederate cipitbl from tte South. . "The best laid Ecaeoies ot mice and nun gun? oft agle." In the West Sherman, by dint of number? made respectable progress; Johnston compelled Li& however, to pay dearly for every mile of advance, figu'. ing him wherever tbe ground was favourable, ii fli.un -immense los -s on him at triflng cos: ; dexteiou3iy cvad iog all his flanking movements ; thrnsnit g him haad Bomely at Resaca and lulias, acd finally bringing bici to a standstill north of Marietta, where tbe two aanes nowconlront each other, Jobnston eff-ring battle aiij Sberman seeking to avoid it. Ihe cj operating expeditions in this quarter hav a miscarried. Ia tbe Trans Mississippi district Iii and Smith were defeated with enormous losj iu rn guns and materials ; thirteen thousand prisoners, iwc;:-ty-seveu armed and traLsport steamers, fif; v 0x gUCl3 aud ovsr two thousand wagons were among the rvnl ies of the victories in this campaign.
