Lodge in this city. This cortege was ac-
compaoied by an excellent band of muic
marched with clow and measured steps' to the
foneraLdirgo which was so well discoursed
by the land, and while but little less impos
ing in numbers wis fir more solemn than that
of the preceding day. The remains were
dep otited on board the western bound train,
and were accompanied to the family burying
ground near Ilolrsburg Depot by the Masonic
delegation and the military guard, where tley
were interred with Masooio boson by Fulton

Our eitisens generally showed proper and
' be comic g respect to our deceased Governor
' by closing their stores and other places of
ta-ioese throughout the day on Wednesday,
and draping their houses in mourning. Tbe
puhlio buildings of the eity and the statue of
Washington on the espttol tqaare were also
draped in mourning, the flags lowered to half
mist, the bel's tolled, and half-hour guns
fird durirg the day by a detachment of the
Wil iiiogton Light Artillery.
P B. Sace the above was in type, we bare
been informed that the omission of the music
was the result of a misuuderstandiog of the
order given, and was not intentional. - .
THE LATE COVER OR ELL I.
Governor E'lis was the first Governor of
North Carolina who did not survive his offi
cial term. Foi some months pas his health
was exeeediogly feeble, and bis anxiety and
reponsilili'ie to a situation so entirely novel,
mast nave contributed rastly to' the hastening
fsis mortal career. He may be raid liter
ally to have labored assiduously for months
with one foot in' the grave and the other on
t ie brink of it, and died as trnly in the de
fence of his eoontry as if be had met. hi death
n the battle-field, and without extravagance
or exaggeration, welnay say of him, that he
gloriously ilia trated the apoi begin, fDulct
ft decorum at pro patria mari."
'.'(iOTEKHOB'CLARKE. '
On receiving lie intelligence of the demise
of his lamented prtdectisor, Govern' r Clarke
repaired promptly to the seat of government,
and has entered vpoo the discharge of the
important duties of the effiee which has been
devoir ed npoa Limby the Cocstitutioo.
LIKCOLS'8 MESSAGE.
We referred briefly in our last issue to
Liocola's Message to the Rump Congress
now mousing at Washington, and borlerqing
representative government. Tbe Southern
reader of this message will find in it addi
tional cause for rejoicing that he is no longer
a eitixea of a government . administered by
such a qnintesecntial ass as Lincoln has
proved himself to be. '''Tbe e yle of the mes
sage is of the mst execrable description
the language more like that cf a Western
rail-plittiog Booster than an educated gen
tleman, and tbe assertions indicative of tbe
most profound and disgraceful igoorat.ee of
tbe structure of the government over which
be bas been called to preside. According to
this Yaakee Solomon, tbe Union of the States
crea'ed the States, and the States did not
form he-Uoionjl. Ilesajsthat "tbe Union
is older thin tba S fates.' V In all the South
there is not a fif een year old schoolboy who
eoold not teach this Pretident (!) more than
he knows of the nature of - the government
over which he presides. Bytbe assertions
of his Message we are warranted in believing
that Liooola has never read the artiolcs of
confederation or tbe Constitution he bas
sworn to support. If he had read the former
he would have seen that they begta thus,:
Tuall to tchom tkeac present shall come, tee, the
the mmlcrtifiuctl delegate of the State affixed
to our nattits, enl greeting.
Whsbkxs tbe delegate of the United Slates of
America in conere aaaem bled did, on tbe flf.eentu
day of November, in tbe year of our L-rd oae
thootand seven hundred and seventy-seven, and
in the second year of tbe independence of Ameri
ca, agree to certain articles of conlederflion and
perpetual union between the ttaUH ot rew Hamp
shire, MawachuietU Bay, Rhode Island and Prov
idence 1'lanU.iona, Connecticut, New York, New
Jereey, Pennsvlvania, Dolaware, Maryland, Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Geor
gia, i tbe word following, viz :
"'Article cf confederation and perpetual union be
tieeen th State rf Xew Hamphire, Maaeu
aett Bay. Rhode Island an l Proirdcnc Planta
tions, Connecticut. New York, Sew Jertey, Penn
tytraxia, DeLitcare, Maryland Sorth Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia. ...
Article I. The style of thia confederacy hall
be 'The United Statea'of America."
AaT. U. Each state retain it sovereignty,
freedom, and independence, and every power, j j
riadiction, and right, which i pot by this confed
era.ion eiprecsly delegated to tbe United State
in congress afembled.
Here we see the States making a Union
among themselves, and at- the close of the
articles we fiud the signatures of the delegates
from tbe several States affixed. .If Lincoln
. -
had ever read be Constitution of the United
Sta'es be would have known that it com
mences thus: We tbe people of the United
States, ox and would have seen that the
tenth article of the amendments is in these
words The powers, not delegated to the
United States by the "Constitution, nor pro
hibited by it to the Stales, are reserved to
tbe States respectively or to the people."
Now will tDo thrice illustrious Abraham tell
b whom powers were "delegated" to the
United States, and by and for whom powers
"not delegated" were reserved! And yet
Lincoln says that the Union is older than tbe
Stales ! Where, we ask, were tbe States of
North Carolina and Rhode Island dnring tbe
period in which they refused to beootne mem
bers of tbe Federal Union ? We presume
that in the estimation of the thrice renowned
Constitution-interpreting snd rail-splitting
Abraham they were in tbe condition of either
territories or colonies, although history, shows
that they came in as sovereign States con
tracting for their rights under a government
to which they were voluntary parties
The entire message is on a par with
that portion on which we bare commented,
and would of i'self amply justify any State
in refusing to live under the administration
of the author of it. ,

arrived yesterday, in charge of a prize crew. First
Lieutenant G. L. Selden, of tbe U S. Navy, and
nineteen sailor, which were captured on the 2d
inrtant, at Cedar Keys, by a detachment ot Con

Four valuable prises were taken, among wbieh

Old Abe's bU-c Wading net.

Fifteen rruooera were found on board the cboon.
r. cons'uting of the crw, who were greatly rejoi
ced at their unexpected release. .
Now let Lincoln dare to narm a natr on me
head of those taken on the privateer Savannah.
lie will soon aee that ft ia a game at wb'cn two can
play.
The above contains a mistake. The North
Carolina war steamer Winslow, Lieutenant
Crossan commanding, 'captured the first
Naval effioer of old Abe" on the 29th of June,
to 'the brg. Ilannah Balcb. 11 is name is
Courts, and his rank in old Abe's Nary is
that of "master" a grade intermediate be
tween that of a midshipman and a Lieutenant.
When captured, he was taking the brig, to
Philadelphia as a prize of one of old Abe's
war ships. We were introduced to tho cap
tive in this city by Lieutenant Crossan on'the
1st of July, and be is now staying on parola
at the hospitable widened of bis gallant
captor in Warreafon where everything will
be done to make bis time pass pleasantly
until bis exchange jhall be effected.
' ' We tuppoee that, inojuding . the price of
the bottoms, tbe Winslow bas captured 575,- j
000 worthr of property. And yet the officers
lo eomsaaad of her, according to tbe plan now
prpoiwd, will not be aeeepted by the' Con
federate Navy, because they did not resign
.in the Federal Navy'f ir the purpose of serv
ing the South 5 Now, while no one more
heartily than ourselves eommends the eon
duct of the gallant men who threw up their
commissions in the old Navy for the purpose
of serving the South, sre nevertheless think
that it will beuu wise for- the government to
refuse the pervioes of brave and experienced
men because they resigned their commissions
in the old Navy before the present troubles
bgaa. On this Sate, such a course would
operate wi'h greit inequality and hardship,
inasmuch as, with the exception of Capt. Mum
and LtetTenant Murphr, every citizen of
North Carolina who once held a commission
in tbe Federal j Navy resigned it before the
Southern States seceded. From the State
of Virginia we suppose some thirty offijera
will have Commissions in the Confederate'
Navy, while North Carohaa will be only al
lowed to contribute two. This is not right,
and we hope the decision, which, if adhered
to, will deprive the country of the services of
such officers as Crossan, Seawell, Davall,
Colemn and Roberts, will be reviewed and
reversed.
CUXRRAI.
IIOXORS Tt THE LATE
GOVKRNOK JOIIII W. ELLIS.
We see byj the papers that the "Cockade
City,' ever prompt to do honor to worth and
patriotism, piid to the remains of the late
Governor Ellis appropriate Lonors while they
were in transitu through Petersburg. Tbe
body was received at the Depot of the Rail
road bf the three companies of Home Guards,
(all the soldiers now left in Petersburg,) and
escorted through the streets the stores and
other places of business being closed and
draped in mourning to St. Paul's Church,
where they remained under the charge of a
guard of honor until they were taken in
charge by tbe detachment of military sent to
conduct them to Raleigh.
The following are the proceedings of the
meeting which was held for . the purpose of
making the arrangements carried out in the
manner above related :
At a meeting of tbe citizens of Petersburg,
held in the Courthou.e on but evening, the
Major was called to the Cr air, and on motion of
Mr. A. U. Aieiiwaine, iwoep a. ii amnion was

than exhausted nature sunk.
Rrolted, Tnt wo ender North Carolina our

THE TWELFTH AND THIRTEENTH
REGIMENTS Is. C. VOLUNTEERS.
The Twelfth Regiment now stationed at
the Camp of 'Instruction near Raleigh pro.
ceeded to the election of field offioers on
Thursday jlast, with the following result :
Colonel, J; Johnston Pettigrew ; Lieut. Col.
Long; Major, Galloway.
The election of field oflbersofthe Thir
teenth Regiment took place at Garysburg on
Wednesday, and resulted as follows : Col.,
I J. F. Hoke, (now Adjutant General ;) Lieut
Col., John W. Leak, of Richmond ; Iajort
D. II. Christie, of Granville. Three com
panies of; this Regiment are at tbe Camp of
Iustruc'ion near this city, and the balance
at Garysturg.
The Fourteenth Regiment bas, we learn,
been organized, and will elect field effioers in
a day oro, it they have not already done so.
. TOE STEAMER WINSLOW.
The Petersburg Express speaks of the gal
lant and! sucoesaful steamer Winslow, as "a
arivateer." This is- a mis'ake. - The Win'sv
low is a regularly commissioned vessel of the
Navy 011 North Carolina, and commanded by
officers of the Nortb Caiolina Navy.
Retaliation. We understand that some
Yankee jprisoners are now in confinement at
Richmond, and will probably be bung in tbe
event of tbe executien of the prisoners taken
in the privateer 8avannab. .
Tbe 6ixth Regiment State troops, Col. C,

OUR YORKTOW CORRESPOSDECE. ; '
YoRKTowjr, July 8th, 1861.
Editors Rcoistcr :4-Take a stranger to Yorktown
and tell him that it was settled before the flood, and
if he judged' by the looks of the place he would be
lieve it as quick as if you had told him thst it was
an old revolationary site. - ;
The town Is quitesmalV very old, and extremely
dirty. It is now a very important place, being the
strongest point between Old Poiot and 'Richmond ;
and should the enemy. ever attempt to take it, it will
prove a stronger and bitterer d jse to take than they
found at Bethel. . ,
Tbe battery on this side of the river is mounted
with guns of the heaviest ! calibre; there ia also a
very formidible one on the other aide of the' river;
and should the Pawnee, Miss Harriett, or any other
of Lincoln's abolition fleet ever pay us avisit, they
will meet with a most cordial reception- indeed their
appearance would be welcomed with balls in com
parison with which the ovations given the Prince of
Wales would sink into insignificance. - j :
The country back for a wile "or.. ao. is. quite level;
and where needed, -the trees and under-growth have
all been levelled in order to give grape and canister
fair play and full effect, j .
It u surprising to see haw so n a regiment of vol
unteers can throw up a breastwork ten feet high with
ditcfiamile long men, or at least a greater part,
who never performed any manual labor in their lives ;
and yet they do it with a skill and willingness that
would do credit to txperieoced hands.
Last week Gen. Magrader took a sinU portion of
the forces stationed here, and went out on a scouting
expedition toward Newport's News, perhaps with tho
intention and expectation of enticing them out and
then fighting a running battle back to Yorktown ;
bnt the Yankees were not, quite so eager fur. a' fight,
and declined leaving their fortifications, although"
they outnumbered our id four to one. lie wen',
within a mile and a half of Newport' News and round
near to Hampton. Indeed, he wax so near to New
port's News, that the pickets were driven in, and
some of our men distinctly saw the enem preparing
for an attack; but they did n jt fire a single gun at
n8-: Ji ' "! !
A very unfortunate circumstance occurred in tbe
loss of Col. Dreux, of a battalion of Louisiana Vol
unteers. One company of his battalion, commanded
by himself, met unexpectedly with about an equal
number of the enemy. Some report say that the ene
my were in ambush ; but it is certain that when the
skirmish commenced both parties were very elose to-'
gether, and CoL Dreux fell dead at the first fire. The
fire was returned by our side, when some four or five
of the enemy fell, including the officer in command ;
they then ; retreated back to Newport's News. t One
other man only, was killed on oar side a young man
who had j lined the battalion from Wilkes county,
N. C, by the name of Stephen Hackett.
Col. Dreux's was a very great loss, especially to his
battalion; he was from New Orleans, whese he occu
pied a hieh social position, and was considered one of
the most brilliant speakers of that place. Although he
was never in the field before, yet his well known
courage and soldierly bearing had more than once
elicited praise from his superiors in commsnd. His
body Ls now here, awaiting transportation to New
Orleans.
Down here we are all waiting anxiously to hear of
a victory by Gen. Johnson, in Norta Western Vir
ginia. It may be unreasonable, but whenever we ex
pect a fight.' we always ex pact a victory. First, be
cause our cause is just; secoud, because the Southern
troops are not composed of the material to be whip
pel.
, The troop ' here ve very orderly in i- el, with per
haps the exception of the New Orleans Zi oaves, who
are a desperate set of men. When they first arrived 3
here, every cow and hog they saw they wonld imme
diately kill and cut up for food; but Col. Hill, thanks
to his discipline, pretty soon tamed them down. I
suppose that you hare all seen the comet in Raleigh
It made its appearance here last Tuesday, very un -expectedly
indeed; luidt believe entirely unpredict
ed. Some propose to name it the. '.' Southern
Confederacy." As regard its bri'liancy in compari
son with the stars, it will do ; but its stay will be too
short to give it the name of a nation which we bate
every right to believe will have a m -st glorious future,
and which will ever be the habitation of freedom
and liberty till time shall end.
In digging our trenches, we came across any amount
of revolutionary relics, in the shape of old broken
arms, cannon balls, pieces of shell, Ac The " Dixie
Boys," the other day, came across several human
skeletons, one of which was by itself; and the ball
that killed hira , 'Was lying among the bones. Who
knows but that in some future day, the traveller in
passing over those fields may behold ten or a hundred,
to where we see one now there died in fighting the
second war of independence. But if blood must
be the price ol our liberty, let the price be paid freely.
Some look for an honorable peace soon, without
much bloodshed others do not; but we all want our
rights, cost w.hat they may. If anything 'of impor
tance happens you will hear from me again

Hon. D. M. Barringer, on behalf of the committee,
offsred tbe following resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted: . ''.."' J.'.',1. ' 'T ' .- . :-
Rewhed,- That we bare heard with emotions of
profound regretof the death of His Excellency, John
W. Ellis, late Governor of this State, and that in
token of respect to his memory, we will attend the
funeral ceremonies in this City, which have been or
dered by the public authorities on account of this sad
sad event.
Reto'ved, That we deplore the death of Gov. Ellis
as a serious public calamity. Distinguished for abili
ty of a high order for ardent patriotism, unspotted
integrity, purity of motive and boldness in action,
his administration during a most eventful add try
ing period in the affairs of our State and country,
has been marked by an efficient energy and wisdom,
and a hirh public Bpirit, and devoted to the public
good, surrounded by embarrassments of extraordi
nary magnitude and difficulty, and: amid the most
grave and fearful trials which could befall our coun
try. He bore himself well and nobly in his high office,
and commanded in a remarkable degree the confi
dence of tho people of North Caroliria in all the va
rious responsible . and arduous duties of public sta
tion, which wtre performed by him to the last, and
to which, in fact, be doubtless fell a victim. Though
but in the prime of life, his public career has been a
long and eventful one ; whether, as Legislator,
Judge, or Governor, he always had the respect and
confidence of his constituents and the people of his
State His life has impressed a , broad and; bright
record on the history of our State, and posterity wilt
do justice to his many virtues and affectionately
cherish the memory of his public and private
character. ' ; I !
Retohed, That while we would not intrude upon
the privacy of a grief which can only find consola
tion from a high nd holier source, we must respect
fully tender to the family of tbe deceased our sin
cere sympathy in this afflicting dispenSa ion of provi ,
dence and our cordial wishes for their future happi
ness. - ; ,
Remhed, That a copy of these proceedings be

to vindicate the dicency and dignity of the

to prohibit, as it did, the C 'iiur.'s-ional el-c'ioni
