Saturday's Wilmington Journal say«.—
•'We regr»‘t !o k-arn by a pa,i8engor who arrived here
this morning that there are not wanting the gravest

As to the receipt of the news by Lincoln and Scott.
Mr, Russell says,—

would have been. The rumors in Goldsboro’ designate
the individual by name, but we do not feel at liberty to
do so. due thing is certain, the capture of the gallant
and poptilar Major Andrews, of Goldsboro’, has roused
, that (>eotiou to a mighty pitch of excitement.

yesterday, tailed, and adds,—

the movement onwurds or not, u-u» certain that the Con
federates uuuld be dtfeattd. Every hour messengers were
hurried off from the field to the end of the wire, some
miles away, with reports of the progress made by the
troops, aud every hour the telegrams brought good ti
dings up to four o'clock or so, when the victory seemed
decided in favor uf the Federalists; at least, the impres
sion was that they had gained the day by driving the
enemy before them. Then came the news of the neces

in the Ultimate success of the U S. troops, who. vndtr his '

President, the Secretary of War, and other members of
the Government, were assembled in the room where the
telegraph operator was at work far into the night-, and
as the oracles ot fate uncoiled trom the wires, gloom
gathered on their faces, and at last, grave and silent.
they retired, leaving hope behind them "
I "The lolvntecTs tndulge tn se-r^e rtjitciiofu on the gene-
' ralship of (ht commander; the regulars speak with conttmpl-
• uvus bitte-rness of the inejhciency and cowardice of the vo-
lunit^ oncers. The toue iu whicii some officers speak
; of being “whipped” is almost boastful and exultant
I Last night I hearvl one declaiitig he thought it was a
good thtng they wfTt Icaten, aa it would put an end to
j the fighting; "he uas quit* svrt none of hu men would
■ ever face (he Confederates again." Another was of opiu
ion that it was lucky they had not advanced much fur-
ttier. as in that case they could not have escaped so
: well. .\nd so on.”
• Hai the Confederates been aware of their success,
I and followed up their advantage early on Monday morn-
I ing, there was no reason on earth why they should not
1 have either got into Washington or compelled the whole
of the Federalist army that kept together and could not
escape, as it was all on one road, to surrender them-
, selves prisoners, with all they possessed.”
Speaking of the gangs of loafing soldiers, mostly
, without arms and belts, and some shoeless, who peram-
: bulated ‘.he streets of Wasnington after the battle, and
, who. he says, are better than “their officers, who are
crowding about the huieis and talking of thsir ''whip-
jtng" w*th complacency and %^thout thams.” .Mr Russell
’ says,—
I ‘-One man dressed in uniform had the impudence to
I come into my room to-day. aud, alter a series of anec-
I dotes, which would furnish a stupendous sequel to Mun-
I chauseu, as to his valor, “masked batteries,” charges ot
I cavalry, io., to ask me for the loan of $5, on the ground
; that he was a waiter at the hotel at which 1 had stopped
j iu New York. I could perceive by his talk and by that
' of some other soldiers the mode iu which these stories
; about “charges” and ‘•masked batteries” are made up.”
' "There must be ofi infatuaticn, which amounts to a hind
I of national ttaanity, in a portion of (he -VortA. or is it
' possible that they believe what the journals tell them:
I that they are the stronge.st, bravest, riohest, mightiest
' people in tlie world, and that they have only to will it,
aud the world—including the Confederate States—is
prostrate before tlieuiT The exaggerations aud mis
statements of part of thi' American press would oertaiu
ly lead those who believed it to such conclusions ”
The Ae.mies in Wkster.n Viaoisi.^.—The Richmond
Dispatch gives an inteie.4ting statement of these, Gent
Lee and I^oring are operating against Rosencrant, on
the Cheat Mountain, in Handolph county. .More than
a hundred miles from thepa, with stupendous and im
passable mountains, and no direct road, between them,
is the army of Gens. Floyd and Wise, on New river, in
Fayette county. Lee is in the Northwest proper. Wise
in the central West, Lee's object is to drive the enemy
out of the Stale, and get posse.ssion of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, and thus cut off connection between
Washingioa city and Cincinnati and St, Louis. F'loyd’s
is also to drive the enemy out and to get possession of
Kanawha valley and its Salt work«, at the same time to
support the Southern sentiment in Eastern Kentucky—
an object of great importance now, in tho crisis now
approaching in that State. The Dispatch confidently
expects the success of both expeditions, but not without
a good deal of hard fighting.

M essrs E. J. Hale iSi Sons;—This is our Superior (’ourt

to our section I think he will make one of oar he.st
Judges, being a young man of fine talent and pleasant
manners. The usu.il aiiiount of business was despatched
'I lie war endiiisiastu is still at a high pitch, and old
Monigoinery will, as usual, do her whole duty and send
her full quota to the field With u population of 6OOU
whites, she has three full companies. The first, under
rapt. Cochran, is at Manassas; the second, under Capt
Barringer at High Point. Tiie third was started at a
Mass Meeting in Bruton’s District about two weeks ago.
when the second was made full and the third commenc-
. ed with 17. Some 300 persons were present. Every
number of citizens of Newhern who had seiied what j Lady in the section was pre.sent, with boxes, trunks and
baskets filled with the j'ood things of life. Speeches
were •^lelivered by C’ol S. H. Christian, E. G. L. Bar
ringer, Mr Hurley Jordan and others.
The third company is now full, and on yesterday e-
lected D. R. Cochran Captain, Jesse A. Sanders 1st Lt..
Mr. Clark 2d, Jesse Spencer 8d. They will be off in
two weeks, when the fourth company (our fud quota of

the Fork District on Saturday the 7th Sept . when the
Iburth company will be started, and will doubtless be
filled in tiiree or four weeks. ,
What county ofl the railroads and large towns can

inatruments of t}ranny. All that the South has to do to
render them inefficient, i.^ to whip the jankees in every
battle. So long as wretchedly iucompetoni oflicials al
low of such disasters as that at Hatteras. so long will
Lincoln succeed in keeping down ofipositton to his ty
ranny.
Tlie N. V. Diily News, speaking plainly about tiie
soizuie of its issues, says.—
“Of every hundred voters in the city (.d New York,
seventy-five are antagonistic to tl.i* harsh anil uncoii
stitutioiial measures adopted by .Mr. Lincoln and his
advir-ers. and an equal proport'on are abs liitely friend'
of the Peace party. The city is iiiiet now—calm as «
tropical sea when not a breath stirs the tl tpping sail;
but it is the calmness that precedes the huriieatie. vVe
are like men here sleeping within a iniitta7.ine, where
the train is laid and the blming torch is at hand; one
spark may spread ruin and desolation aiound. If the
Administration will hut pause, look about, take note of
what is the true feeling, and ponder, much that is ter
rible may be avoided.”
“Citizens cast into dungeons without public charge
against them and withoiit.hope of trial: private proper
ty confisc.iled hI the bet;k of ihosp in power; Ihe press
humbled, threatened and suppressed, or prostituted to
serve the ends of fanaticism. What ever did Louis XVI
lio tyrannical and dangerous? and yet he lost his head.
What ever ilid Great Britain so unjust to provoke the
indignation of her colonies? and yet she alienated them
from her forever.”
“When the people do wake to a sense of injury—to a
full conception of what they have lost and what they
are losing—to an understanding thnt they are gliding
by rapid steps from freedom to bondage, they will not
lack the impulsive action of the Parisian at his barri
cades. or the resolution of their forefathers at Lexing
ton and Bunker Hill.”

The March of Tyra.nnv.—W.ishington dates of the

Hereafter, therefore, men are to be seized and incar
cerated in some Bastile, and nobody to know of it. The
Spanish Inquisition is revived If there is any spirit
of liberty,at the North, it must soon sliow itself, and
when it does, wo to Lincoln and his sdvisers.
Furchase of IFar Steamtm —President Davis having
been authorized to purchase large war steamers, the
Hichmond Examiner says, on the best authority, that
an offer will be brought before the President, by the
agent of the proprietors in England, to sell to the Con
federate Government three entirely new screw steam
ers, which are now awaiiiug, at a convenient distance
the result of the negotiations for their sale.

The Blockade—Prospect cf War between the Uni(ed j
States and England.—The Richmond Examiner has '
learned from the proper Department at Kichmonr. that
the British Ship Alliance has broken the blockade, and
safely entered the port of Beaufort, N. C., with a cargo
of general articles, some oases of arms, 199,000 percus
sion caps, large quantities of medicines, quicksilver,
pig iron, sheet iron, tin plate, several thousand dozen
of spool cotton,
The captain of the Alliance was expected at Kioh- |
mond on Friday, to offer his cargo to the government, j
Upon these facts the Examiner makes the following
highly important remarks:—
“It is further stated that at the time the Alliance en
tered the line of the blockade at this point, a number
of merchant vessels were observed out at sea; and it
was supposed that they niight follow the .\lliance lu,
under tiie protection of a British steamer that was lyiiig
off’ the coast.
“This is the first instunoe, we Oeli«5ve. of the ingress
of a vessel of a neutral power into our blockaded ports;
lud as such is entirely’ sutticient to furnish the occasion
lor freeing the neutral trade of the British Government
troni further resirictii)iis.
“It is well known that sovetul of our own vesseLs
have mttde their egress from the blockaded ports, and
that some of them have done so in repeated instances.
The late intelligence from Europe reports two arrivals
trom Southern ports, vii; the Genoa, trom Savannah,
at Deal, and tlie Kaler, from New Orleans, at Barcelona.
“It is to be understood, however, that in contempla
tion of public law, the escape of the blockade by our
own vessels cannot properly, or perhaps justly, free the
commerce of a neutral. Wlien. however, as in the case
of the Alliance, the vessel of a neutral power itself runs
the blockade, through either the inefficiency or retnisg-
tiess of the cruisers, or even through some accident un
accounted for, there is no doubt that iu the common es
timation of international law. the blockade is positively
bud p.ermanently broken.
“The test of the blockade for England, so far as her
(iwu rights are involved, is positively determined; and
the ciicumstances attending tiie adventure of the Al
liance point to prompt and effective meaiures for the
assertion of thuse rights. The British Government is
listiuctly and firmly pledged by the declarations of
Lord Palmerston in Parliament to declare the blockade
void on the successful breaking of its lines by a single
vessel. It is known that a number of British war
vessels are now stationed immediately on the North
t.’arolina coast, and that the running of the blockade by
a British merchantman at Beaufort was performed in
the sight of one of them. The late additions to and
concentration of the liritish bquadron, or rather fleet,
off the Southern coagt. means something. There has
never before been such a formidable array of modern
war vessels around and about our coasts. The British
fleet, now under the command of Admiral Milne, num
bers forty-two vessels, with an armament of 497 guns,
and between six and seven thousand men. In fact,
every circumstance aids the conclusion that if the Lin
coin Government shall insist upon any further contin
uation of the blockade, the preparations of the British
Government are complete, instant and fully resolved
upon for a naval war with the United States, to be com
menced immediately off the coasts of the Atlantic.”
“When the news that the Alliance has safely entered
the port of Beaufort reaches the British Government, it
can scarcely do otherwise than give public notice of
the inefiiciency and invalidity of the blockade, and
declare it to be raised, de facto aud de /'ure. British
merchants will immediately send to the Southern ports
vessels laden with such stores as they may suppose most
saleable in the country, and commissioned to bring back
cargoes of tobacco and cotton, tjhould the Government
of the U. S. be mad enough to inteifere with any on** j
ot them, either going or returning, it wiU violnSe a prin- ,
ciple of international right so clearly established and '
admitted by all nations, that the event will bring upon j
it the maritime force of the oivilized world Nor wili I
it be possible for that Government to reassert and re- |
establish another blocka.l- of that coast during the war; |
for that would be child’s play, and nations cannot be !
so trifled with,
“In a couple of months more we may. therefore, rea
sonably anticipate the reopening of European com
merce; and the consequences of that even* to ourselves
and its effects upon the war can scarcely be too highly
stated. It will forthwith give us all the material and
arms we want for the equipment of illimitable armies,
and it will fill the Treasury with the piroceeds of tho
cotton crop It will end the deprivation of the thou
sand and one comforts and utilities under which we
have all silently suffsred. aud would surfer silently for
Years, if the public welfare rendered that proper. It
will make Ihe further prosecution of hostilities by the
North 80 clearly insensate and suicidal, that we may
suppose iven the Government of Lincoln and the Abo
litionists of Boston will perceive the necessity of an im
mediate peace at any price.”
LEGISLATIKE OF XOITfH CAROLINA.
On Wednesday the House of Commons passed the bill
to submit to the people to v.:te. at the November elec-

On this question. Mr Wright of Cumberland said—
“He was opposed to the amendment, a.s he was to the
entire bill. He desired harmony in the State. It was
no time for division aud «tiil'e .\ll should be united

u: I i.e e. .vfter brief use a' Yorktown, some
or aii of tiietn h.id to be replaced, for ttiey became tat
'erod, and leaked. We do not know what they cost.
The Editor of the Wilmington Journal has been to
visit Camp Wyatt, 15 miles below Wilmington, where
he 8tii reginieut of volunteers is stationed, consisting
of fot'r companies from New Hanover, two from Bla
den. two from Columbus, one from Robeson, and one
from Hiclimon l. After stating sutidry pleasant things
that came under his observation, he says,—
Presently the rain, which had been threatening,
poured down—the hour of drill being finished about
tliut time, the men double-quicked to their quarter.-*,
llajipy those who had quurier.s fit to protect them.
There being no covei for the several cooking arrange
ments. the perfect torrents of water that poured down
drove tho men away, deluged the food, and damped or
extingiiisiicd many of the fires. Even if this iiad not
been the case, none of the messes could have stood at
the tables to eat io the open air in such a rain. We
looked into sundry of the men’s tents, and found them
hardly drier than where there were no tents. The water
might have been slightly fifed getting through, but it
nearly all got through, nevertheless. The leakiest of
these wore appropri-itelj'stamjied •'/^eaAjville—J. .M.
.\I.” It is Said tiiat .Mr. M.ireliead got a contract t.>
furnish these tents to the State at the rale of fifteen
lo'.la. .s each. If so. — i we only i-peak from common re
i'ort)—he must have got twice the value of them for
luv pui jiose. For the pur[iose of tents they are reallv
w iiih uotiiitig. The iiiileri.il is inferior. Totally un-
uited for tenis. So open in its texture that one indig
nant sufferer asseverated that there was little or nti
lifl'erence between it and mosquito netting. In trutii,
it is hardly better than common sheeting."
The Journal spoke of these tents once before, and
then said they “cost S16 a-piene, are worthless, no pro
tection from rain, but only fit for sun shades.” We
have no doubt they are bad enough, but it strikes tis
that they are worse in the Journal’s eyes, and singled
out for this repeated reference, because they happened
to be furnished by “Mr. Morehead”—of which, by the
way. we never heard before, and know nothing. But
the present complaint suggests the inquiry, who con
tracted for the tentsT Waa there a sample agreed on
of the kind of cloth they were t.. be made of.' Were
thev made of the kind agreed on? If so. what is Mr.
Morehead s faulf* If not. why were they received,
and by whom*
We uever heard that odium was attempted to be cast
upon anybody here who furnished cloth for tents for
the Fayetteville Companies, though the tents were pro
bably no better than those at Camp Wyatt. It was
simply a subject of regret that nothing better could be | ’& ComilliSf^iOU .Ylerchailt,
