CONFEDERATE CANDIDATES TO ItE HESEXT WAKE COUNTY IN THE NEXT LEGISLATURE. - 1 , ' We place at the -bead of our col trans to day the names of the gentlemen who will be voted for as candidates for seats in the next Legialatnre by . the: Confederate party of Wake comity. These gentlemen are too well known in this county to, need a word of en ctorsation from us . They rt; known as true Southern mew, devoted ta thi, interests and rights of their State aod ' the interests and rights of the Southern Confederacy. ' As such they will be elected. , r . " " ' " f , MUTINY AMONG THE TROOPS. . We hare information, derived from secession caret bero, that six North Carolina regiments refuted to go into the battle of Fair Osks,and that those regiments are now under a strong guard in Richmond. This correspond with the statera en ts made by tho North Carolinians who, it U said, al lowed tbemselres to be made prisoners ai Uanov er Court Ilouie; that the soldiers of the old North State were tired of helping to bolster up a rebel lion for which they had no sympathy. (!1) The above paragraph is taken from a num ber of the New York Herald. Of coarse it is as infamous a falsehood as even Bennett ever told. 80 far from any of the Northp Carolina troops having mutinied and refused to fight at the battle of the Chickahominy, it is now a part of history that they fought with unsurpassed gallantry a fact which is folly attested by the number of those killed and wounded. ' ' Why is it that the. Northern papers and people look more steadily to North Carolina for manifestations of disaffection to the Southern Confederacy than to any other State belonging to it 1 The answer is plain. The domestic dissentions initiated, fomented aod fanned by the Editor of.'the Baleigh Stand ard, for his own miserable individual pur poses, have produced a profound impression at the North that many of the people of this State desire, to retura to the Federal Union. Thero are' two Yankee papers now published in the State one at Newbern and another at Washington. These papers greedily, snap up everything that looks like a want of har mony among the people, and dispatch it to the North,, where it is trumpeted forth as a most cheering sign that the work of bringing North Carolina back to the Federal Union is progressing most favorably. 'Thus are the Yankees stimulated to renewed and unceas ing efforts to secure to the Federal Govern ment tho fcretbold it once had in this State. Their "calculation" is, that if they can once get back North Carolina a State situated in the very hea,rt of the' Southern Confede racy they will have a fulcrum on which they can work their levers for the "coercion? back into the Union of the other States of the Confederacy. ; ' Now we ask if, in the face of these facts in the face of this signal and irrefutable proof of the injurious effects which the pres ent unhappy division in this Sta'e is having, not only upon North Carolina, but upon the great the holy Cause of the. entire Southern Confederacy Col. Vance will longer permit his name to be used as an instrument of ex citing bitter fraternal strife at the moment when those who will come among us "breath ing out threatenings and slaughter," threat ening our utter extermination as a people, or our subjugation as a race,' are thundering at our very gates 1 On the contrary, will he not "rise to the height of the great" and pa triotic "argument" which every true lover of hla State and country will address to him, to withdraw his name from this can vass7 ana thus, by throwing oil on the troubled waves," s disappoint the hopes and blast the expecta tions of the damnable Yankees and the vile ' traitors within onr borders If ha will, old women and joung, old men and young, "will rise op and call him blessed," and when "hal cyon Peace" shall resume - her benign "sway in our land, the highest honors which a grate ful people can bestow will be his. . In urging Col. Vance to pursue this course, we assure him that wc are preaching what we would praoVice, for as surely as , there is a God above us. to whom we must one day an swer for the truth: of what we assert, we would, were we in the place of Col. Vnce, retire from this, canvass, and safe the State from $ta evil effects. Tiik. Evacuatiox or Corinth. The facts about the evacuation bf Corinth are beginning to be known at the North, in spite of Hallcck's dis patches. Th Eaton (O.) Register says : "Cor inth wta like unto Manassas Ii not only had Quaker guns, but slnfexl soldiers. Wooden ar tillery yawned from the embrasures aod scared crows stood upon the parapets.

Compared with his tem per at this time," verjuiee ' wbuld jtaste - like molasses candy. - As to making him enjoy a bit of fun or humour", you might as well ex pect to make an owl split its sides with laugh ter, or to wreathe with smiles the face of an hyena. Why, gentlemen,' pe will not " - ' ' ''' f . 'smile, ' Though Nestor swear the jest be laughable." Because the other day we addressed a fanny article, which we took ' from the Bichmond Whig, with a few jocular remarks, which everybody but the crab-apple of the Stand ard took as they were meant, to the Rev. Mr. Pell, the Standard charges us with una king a blaspheujuaa- awkinrbafr-gTnrtlOn tleman and the Methodist denomination, of which he is a worthy minister. ' J ost see how like an old woman the great "Conservative" rants and scolds : . - I - ; We are at a loss to account for this unprovoked atfaejon Mr. Fell, and we can attribute it only to the unfathomable," ifiappcasible, untraceable malice of our neighbor, His bearing towards Air. Syme has alwavs been, kind and respectful ; and he has earnestly requested us not to take any notice of this and other attacks upon him, being wil ing to bear taesi in silence 'and a patiently as he can ; but we feel that we owe it io htm, to the Church of which he is a worthy Minister, and to ourself, to enter our. protest, as we have done, against the unjust, and, we fear, malignant assault which has been made upon him and his Church by the Register." . j - t x We have too much respect for. the brains 4 i .... , 1. -f. of our reader to disclaim any intention of making an '.'assault" either on Mr. Pell or on the church of which he is a minister. If there is a man in or out of North Carolina ass enough to believe us to be foolish and wicked enough to be capable of such an aot, his opinion is to us a matter of the most pro found indifference. Bat we crave to know long it has been that "Conservative" Holden has been so chary and sensitive of the character of .tbe Methodist church ? Ho was for some years a member-of that church attending upon its class-meetings and its worship, and in all re spects in fall communion with it. Why did he feavo it ? Did ho "secede" from it "at .will," or for cause? Or -was he "coerced" out of it ? The fact is he. was in the church, and the enquiry is, now that he sets up as its champion, how he got out of it ? He must have got out by.se cession at will," or for cause, or by "a coercion" which he could not resist. These are the only three con ceivable ways in which he could have got out. He may not, as. his fortunes advanced in the world, have relished its simple and humble mode of worship ; or he may have found fault with its discipline ; or, on mature reflection, objected to some of its doctrines ; or, lastly, he may have been "coerced" out. If the latter was the cause of. his ceasing to be a member of the Methodist church, we hum bly submit that he has done to the Methodist church what we never did "brought re proach upon it." j In conclusion, we ; remark that we should have made no allusion to the connection of the Editor of the Standard with the Metho dist Church, had he not, in a spirit of the vilest demagogaism, stood forth as its cham pion, and charged us with-making a plasphe mous assault upon it a blasphemous assault upon a Church wbich we hold in the highest respect, and a Church which years ago, out raged by Northern fanaticism, abolitionism, in tolerance and tyranny, f seceded" from all ec clesiastical "union" and connection with the pes'ilent Yankees So, .if the Standard's "withers'' are wrong, it has itself to thank for it.

Vance, or Buncombe, urn! knowio his acute sense of the ludicrous that sense which has made him such an inimitable joke teller, and contributed so much to his popu larity we can well imagine how cruelly he will be annoyed at finding himself ranked by his superscrviceable bdt most inappreciative friend of the Greensboro Patriot in the same category with "such men as Beauregard, Price, Jackson, Hill and Stuart" the men whose names are gloriously and ' immortally identified with this, war, by deeds which will have a world-wide fame. But, interceding for the Greensboro Patriot, wo tell' the gal lant Colonel that its Editor ''meant well" that his "fault was not of the heart, .but Xf the head," and that if hethe gallant Colo nel has been placed in a most ludicrous con trast, he must forgive the writer for the sake of his motivo .

By the -way, what clergy man was the Standard hitting "at,-when'ft said, with thi emphasis of-tVatcs 1 that Mr Pell "never pteached political sermons l'?- Was it the minister who some, time'sinc preached a sermon which trod so hcavilv the corns of i he growlers ano! croakers tlat the .Editor of j the Standardyon being informed of its character, remarked that he never did believe thit lr. 1 had any true religion ? , . - 1 1 ,- : ; ' ;'-- NEW SCHOOL HOOKS. We have received from Messrs. 'Sterling & Campbell, of Greensboro, "Our Own Pri- meV' and "Our Own Second Reader," being a portion of a scries of North Carolina School Books now being prepared and published by t these highly educated, intelligent and patri otic gentlemen. The publishers state that the publication of the First Header has been unavoidably delayed, but that it wil) be issued in a very-short i time. These publications will be followed during the year by. a Third, Fourth and Fifth Reader. Tho price of the Primer is 10 cents, and the Second Read er 40 cents, t- . ;. ' ! The South has heretofore been almost en tirely dependent upon the North for school books, and we are rejoiced that an earnest effort is being to j render ourselves indepen dent of them in this as well as in every other respect. The authors of these books being old and accomplished teachers, highly intelligent and thoroughly educated, we doubt not that their productions will prove all that the. teachers of the children in .our State can de sire. An excellent teacher to whom we sub mitted the above books for examination says : "I think both the Primer and Reader well adapted to minor classes, and j worthy of in troduction io;our schools generally." r .... i,-ri ibo-iraneH inpresa.,, . SOUTn 'CAROLINA' it AIL ROAD -koL-DEN EXPOSED. "The truth is, Mr. Johnston has interests and sympathies with South Carolina as well as North Carolina. He has a" residence in Charlotte; but be is the President of a South Carolina Kailrqad, and has bi3 office and transacts his business in Col umbia. Only about fifteen miles of his road are, in this State. In the above i the Standard has told the truth only in part fop the purpose of palming off a gross deception. We thank the Standard for referring to the subject, j " ' Before the Charlotte and "Columbia Eailroad was built, the people of more than twenty coun ties in North Carolina, fjmthe aulh Carolina to the Virginia linafld betweerf thecounty of Davidson and the blue ridge,inclading more than one fourth of the State, and a most productive re gion, were compelled to wagon their products (such as could afford that kind of transportation) to Columbia, Camden, Cueraw, and other 1 emote n.arkeU, a distanceof several hundred miles, and wil it to great disadvantage. Their family sup plies were transported home in the same way. Wm. JohriEton and other er.terprjzing gentlemen of Mecklenburg, conceived the idea of building a railroad from Charlotte to Columbia,wh"ich should) besides building up a good market town in this por tion of the State, convenient to all our larmerstaft. ford cheap and easy transportation. . to the bes markets upon the Southern sea-coast ,from Charles leston to New' Orleans. Without any aid from North Carolina, or taxing our people, the Road was built, and its benefits have been of incalcula ble valuo to the people in the large section above named. At that time, the N. C: Railroad bad not been thought of, and the people of more than one fourth of the Stale was' landlocked or shut in, until the Charlotte and Columbia Road.was built. There was no incentive to industry' and the re sources of the "West could not be developed. True, only bui fiiiaen miles ot this Road are in North Carolina, but that was not the fault of Mr. Johnston.. But what has Mr. Johnston ; since done, which the Standard has failed to tell, nev ertheless the people, know it already.' Within two years Mci Johnston, has built a Railroad con necting with the South Carolina Road, from Char lotte to S tales vi lie, near 50 miles in ( length, at a cost of not mora than four hundred thousand dol lars, without a dollar of State aid, or. taxing the' people, in the midst of a furious war. ..This js a worK wnicn noomer man ir. tan state coma nave performed.- And its benefits will put millions of dollars in the pockets of the people of the West', hereafter, and continue through all time. Is this not doing , for tho prosperity and honor of . the State? Is this not statcsminship? Noae but blockheads or knaves, will deny it I : ' But return to the South Carolina Road, which, according to the Slandard,oompromise3 MrJohn ston as a true North Carolinian. But for this Road, how conld hnhdreds and thousands of sol diers have been passed: to Virginia,, and the vast military stores, for the. defence, of the South? It is a great National high-way ,0! the largest impor tance to the O nfede-ate Government as well as to the people of this State and- Mr. John3ton and his associate) w o built the road, are deserving of the gratitude af the country, and of North Csroll nasMtntfutar.U ..,,.,'. -,..:: t-. -WenXJj0 doubt the Standard's candidate, Col.

Vance resides -West cf the BIueRidge, and no doubt he il a stockholder in one or two "short railroads" thit are- designed to run into South Carolina," and for that' wo 1 wiii give him credit, as South Carolina is the better market for the pro- H duels of hiisectioir.

I From the bast information we can gather of tho situation of affairs in tbat sec tion, "we take it that'fighting will soon copamence there in earnest. The Yankees already, have pos session of Sequatchie Valley, a. productive and stock growing country, and have a force of perhaps not less than 5,000 men in Powell's Valle, a por lien.of couniry still mere important to an army in th5 way of provisions. Bat the great valleys of the Tennesseei Hiwassee, Holaton, and French Broad rivers, are still in possession of our troops ,and can,' we have reason to hope, bo held against almost aay force that may assail them. We thirik it al together probable that Cumberland Wheeler's and Big Creek Gaps, will be evacuated.if indeed they have not been already ,and that our force? will .make a stand at Chattanooga, Kingstori,and Bean's Sta-. tion, in order to keep the enemy North of Wal len's Ridge and the Clinch Mountains. : his, we feel confident, 'can ba done succsssfully with "the force now under Gen.

Nearly every man and boy capable of bearing anus, who were advocates of sepai ata State action, are now in the Southern army, and although the conscription act is foot, in lorce there, tney navejoineu ior yuo war; xn au dition to tbis, there are, to our certain knowledge, not less than one third ot the original u nion men now in that section the ultras -haying join ed Lincoln in Kentucky many of the more mod erate have changed their , views since Lincoln's free negro policy was promulgated in November la t; while the remainder, being too indolent and and cowardly to take any part .in theooteat of arms.
