Without stop ping to look at the insane proposition to ..n.r.tA from the Gulf Sutes? we should be ' clad to know what guarantee the writer ex .ta rn tk. .ffltof the slave oronertf of VVf tVi m-mw-j w a Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ken tucky and Maryland in a governmental anion with the non-slaTeholding and slavery hating , States which we hate above enumerated If he replies that there would be a Constitu tion to protect it, we ask him, if, under the Old UnioD, we did not have constitutional guarantees for the safety of slave property, and beg him to tell us if this war, which it would seem be ia "willing to stop almost on any terms, is not proof positive how worthless these guarantees proved when opposed to the force of brute numbers t In a union with the enumerated non-slareholding and popu lous 8tates (growing more populous daily) would not the guarantees given to the slave holding States be swept awy just as they were under the old Union 1 Most assuredly they would! No proposition in Euolid is more clearly demonstrated than .that there is so safety for the holders of slave property in a Union with nonslarehoIding States. But what guarantee has the writer, that in the union he proposes, be will escape the tyran ny" of the Dictator Lincoln." Linooln is a citixen of a powerful "North-western" State, and the same power ef brute numbers that made him President of the old Union, may make him, or some one equally as bad, Chief Magistrate of the proposed new Union. This would be a "glorious Union" truly for North Carolina and Virginia, &e., to enter ! But $p Progrtss'progresses and amplifies in its scheme for a Unjon that will stop the war and procure peace. In its number for Thursday last, the same writer (at least we presume it is the lame) says : We are cot of those who abase the North, as bo ing the sole cause of the war. Wicked men of both sections labored to bring it qo to accomplish selfish purposes, and sooner or later, in some shape, tbev will eet their reward ; but with that now we have nothine to do. We haT,declared oar. on. ( We are far determination and shall fight on. (We are . - as.1 peace ; peace now, ana peace upon any terms ana with anybody, so it does not degrade us. Leave out New England, and we are willing to have peaee with any and everybody else that will snb scribe V the Constitution cf the Confederate Slaws., The blood of victims slain, the sufferings of the maimed and woanded and tbe wailing! of the destitnta, hooselese and homeless cry for peace, and the almost united voice of two continents ring in the ears ofiespotie rulers and ambitious dema gogues, the question, what Is all this for ? Here is a proposition for union with all and every body, except New England, in order to procure the 'return of peace. The '0ulf States" will not be eut off and left to them selves as in the first peace programme, bit are to be graciously permitted to become members of the new Union ! . Thi is the last proposition for union and peaee, and as this same union ball gathers and swells so rapidly, we shall next week, or at farthest the week af ter, have another proposition 'that we shall Aground arms," make a union and Jake New England in, or in other words, "reconstruct the Union ? " Such proposi'ions are exceed ingljobjeotloiiable for two reasons. In the first place, they are very foolish and absurd, as it ia well known that unless the courage and endurance of the. South extorts a peace from the Nortn, it will never get it, except upon the terms theNprth proposes, to wit t the reconstruction of the old Union. un der the old Conititation, or the living togeth- er by the Bonth'nndr the pa'me government with tnose who .have ; invaded arid desolated us boh, muraerea lis sons, ravisnea iu uaugu- ters, burned its boose's and stolen its proper- ty This i the plain Bilgnsh of the fjroposi - tion to which the Sooth must, for tHa sake of "peace," accede, unless it can by its strength and todomjtabla courage, forpe fromJLheNorth an unqualified recogot tion of its sovereignty and independence'. ' If for tiie sakef r'p.eace" the Soutbrgrounditarma" and reunites with the North: why did it notrcmain in union with the . North, and avoid ibe sea cf blood and carnage through whioh it is bow wading! If for the sake of "peace" the' South "grounds arms" and reunites with 'the North, 'where- U the equivalent for. the privations, the- woes and agonies it b'al endnred, and ,;if still ra iai:: -Bat in thaaeeond phbe, these; vjaciTe- rous and repeated demands for "peace" in a Southern paper j are aa mischievous as. they are foolish, inismuoh al they create' an im pression in the North that no inconsiderable portion of the people of the South are sick and weary of the war, and ready for "peace" on any terms, and thus the North is stimu lated to renewed, and if possible, moro vigo rous efforts to subjugate the South, or, what u the same thing, force it back into the Union, and compel it by grinding taxation to pay the cost of its own cnslavemedt. We hope, therefore, the writer in the Progress will either cease his cries for "peace" or "re- construction," either partial or complete, or oome boldly out and make the proposition for recorstructiog the Union, and let us seeon wua Blue oi tuo issue iue peuio oi Aiutu olina would be found, for in no paper in the South, outside of this State, has such lan guage been used is wY find in the "Daily Progress." x ' ' ' THE SCARCITY OP FOOD, AND ITS WASTE. ' The practice of impressment is doubtless an arbitrary, and in many . instances ' cruel one, and nothing but the most nrgent con siderations for the public safety can justify it, and in such cases, the greatest care should be taken that the impressment shall not ex ceed the publio want or necessity, and shall be fairly and equally made, uur army must be fed, or opr cause must be hopelessly U.t .,1 if nnr nrmv ntnnnt Ha fed eieent by impressment of the absolute necessaries of life,' then the impressment should be made. The present is a time of great scarcity, and there is reason to apprehend, snob, ia the greed or mere money, (that the present is but a prelude to a time of a yet. greater scarcity of the food necessary to sustain life. In sueh a case, the policy o( .avoiding all useless consumption of food beoomes rigorously neo- essary. Our army must be fed, or our cause is hopelessly lost, 'and at home the families of soldiers must be fed, or the sacrifices and privations of their husbands, father and brothers in the field will be for naught. Under these circumstances, have not the people a right to complain and feel indig nant at the waste of corn fed to pleasure horses of officials, State; and Confederate? These horses are not in, but out of the service. Jhey do no work for either tbetitate or Con- federat Government, but. are used for the pleasure of their owners, and consume large quantities of food whioh might sustain hu man life. We have taken some pains to look into this matter, and our readers will be surprised as well as shocked to learn that in or about Raleigh there are no less than fifty horses of this description. .Now, without counting fodder, of which eaoh horse gets seventy cents worth a day, each horse is al lowed 12 lbs of corn a day, which would give for the fifty, six hundred pounds of com a (faj. As a pound, of corn ground into meal would sustain a man a day,- it will be seen that these useless pleasure horses, maintained about Raleigh at the1 expense of the"people, consume every day an amount of corn whioh would put a sufficiency of the staff of life into the mouthr of six hundred persons. What a diabolical shame ! What a damnable sin ! And what addYto the enor mity of this inhuman system, is the'faot tht there are in this Town not less than three hundred persons who have not tasted meat in four weeks, the. price of that article haying gone beyond their command. . Corn meal if now ssjling. here at 'the' price of $4 a bushel (46 lbs. to the bushel.) So the plea sure horses of officials State and' Confeder- ate, consume eaoh' day : something over $52 worth of corn, or $1,564 - worth a month, or $18,768 worth per year, leaving out frac tions.' A sweet sum, truly, to be spent '' on pleasure horses maintained at the expense of the people, when so me, of the said people are on the brink of starvation. : , - Jn connection with this subject, we would inquire of Gov. Vance why- he has not re newed bis proclamation forbidding the export of certain ' necessary' articles of life from the State, except for the purposes of the Confed erate Government 1' In his call upon deser ters to return to their posts, be waa lavish ia j hi pronaes,that. theirjftmiliee tome I would be takes eare or. lat be redeeming toeae jromiea oj pertsuuug rvy w taken out of the Staf North and South, by .

Vance's nose they are buying l op and Bendiog away every imaginable article of necessity. . THE EXPEDITION TOWARDS NEW y BERK, j ' Vi It is said that the late expedition of' our troorjs towards NewberU has accomplished its 6bjei We do nbt knowi nor have we seen aoy bodv who does koo . whit ; the."objeotV was. it ia ffeneraiiv Deiievea. However, tuat - Ik 1 1 ll A. . ' . - - , th expedition was a "foraging1 one, and tha omlv cansa for doubtintr its being 80. IS j found in the fact that the chargers of Gov Vance's Aids" took no part iu the foray, seem to stand in no noed of additional "forage" but look as fat and as sleek as State "forage' and no work can make tbem. Barnes is a good fellow, and while we have no designs upon or use for his four rooms and a kitcheorwith fuel to match, we would have no objection oo i icasionally, in fine weather, to try the paces of one of his multitudinous ohargers (kept at State expense,) just to see how an Aidt wbo does nothing in the way of an assistant, thus inaatrating gloriously the principle of a non luctndo fcei8 on the baJk of a Incus Stale fed horse. Wo must admit, however, that we should feel ashamed, if, in the course of our jride, the Governor p&r horseless man, should, while trudging on foot,' have the HOlympio dust" thrown into his "Excellent" face by the hoofs of our Cheval pro. tern. ' DThe Editor of the Standard again reproaches u for being a "Virg'nian." Well, we are a "Virginian," born and bred, and wouldn't help it if we could. We are anything- but ashamed either of Virginia, or of the -mode of our original arrival in it, or of our departure from it. We are, however, bound to North Carolina by tbe closet and doesk of oarthIJ ties, ; .ndare sorry that ouo DUUU1U uuu"'cr """"S ucr UB"vo wlUBM sucu a creaiuro as ma jaiuiwjr oi tuu ivai eigh Standard.

DECLINE Iff GOLD, " In Richmond on Wednesday last Gold de oiined 50 per cent., falling from $4.25 to $3.75premium. Tbis sudden and heavy de cline was no doubt owing to the wholesome effect of the passage of the ourrency bill on that day by the( Senate. Now let Congress immediately pass a tax bill imposing the very heaviest taxes upon ' tbe people, and such a tumble in the. price of gold and of every thing else will take place as has never before been witnessed in this country. Such bills as these will : soon withdraw from circulation a large quantity - of the Treasury notes, 'and will consequently reduoe the price of provi sions and of all the necessaries of life, for it is an indisputable, fact that the exorbitant prices of everything now demanded, are ow ing, to a. great extent, , to a redundant cur rency. . j THIS WEATHER i - As is usual at this trjing .season of'the year to the human constitution, is very ca pricious. On Wednesday it was disagreea bly warm, but on that night the wind hualt ed round' to the East, and Thursday 'was most' ... nnootnfortably ocld cand raw. On Thursday evening a" drizzling rain set in whioh ia the course of the night turned to hail, jrhich is falling while we write on Fri day morning. It is greatly to be feared thai the peaches, now in full bloom, in this regi-1 on have been killed, although the "knowing ones" do say that peaohes are never killed- in 'March.' ' KICIIMOND SENTINEL.

The Vicksburg correspondent of the Memphis Appeal says, in a letter of the 5th instant : The usual activity stilt prevails among the fleet, and the gunboats have reached the number, of five, though some of tbem appear io sight only a little while, when tbey aeaia withdraw behind the bend above. Some of the transports are seen to darry off troops up tbe river, while others are coming down witbTeinfbrcements. In the camps on shore everything is apparently quiet,' and no discovery has lately been made about the progress of the work on tbe canal, and the probability is that the operations on the work have been sus pended. . j; ' If tbe federals bed any prospect of success with the canal, we would not hear so much ta?k in the Northern jsapers about a force being sent up to liake Providence for the purpose of cuttting the levee to get into Bayou Macon, and throuzh the tortuous .bayous of North Louisiana into Kfcd river, lhese foresbadowitters of their own move ments indicate verv plainiv thatahe canal cannot b3 made to answer their purpose' or there would be no necessitv for a new route. To get below is evidently tbeir only hope, and no effort is spahed to contrive some plan by which this may be ef fected, without the necessity of passing by our batteries. f Certain arrangements are now in progress whieb will astonish the Yankees, and disqusuihm mure bitterly than ever with, their rectjption at Vicks burg. Many of tbe old ci.iseus wbo have left tbe place for safer quarters durine the hostilities, will also be gready surprised when they return to their homes. ? ' ; The Salisbury Watchman of .Monday savs : "A political prisoner at the Confederate prison here, was shot through tbe head by one of the guard about 12 o'clock last Thursday night, while at tempting to escape, and instantly killed. H s name was J. A. J. Uollms, and he is said to be from Virginia. Others, itis reported were about attempting their escape at the same time, but the ku.ing of Collins stopped them." ; SPEECH OF HON. D. W. VOORHIES, IN . , NEW YORK. ! Hon.'D. W. Voorhie? made a speech before the Union Democratic Association in New York on Tuesday evening. He said," "the people bed waked up to the fact. declared in the first line of the Constitution, that we tbe people make this G -verDmeut." He owed no allegiance to any government but to the people and'tha ConsU;u tion ; nut to Li n coin" hisses J or bis Cabinet ; and when that doc. rine prevailed, a republican torm of government would, take iu place. Let that fact be deeply impressed upon the public mind, -and a corresponding feeling of responsibility would fol low, which would dignify and elevate American cillzenship. He o wed no allegiance to thosn w bo would overthrow, tbe privileges of a freo born American citizen, and be held it to be bi right to condemn, anything that they, did wrong. He would be glad it there was one party of the coun try, basing itself upon the rock of the Consti tufion, and rallying around .itself tbe safeguards of law ; but there never . was a ' free govern ment that was not divided by political par ties. '.-: ' i Mr. Voorhies said, some members of the Da raocratic party had lately turned their backs upon it, but' they had not read its past history rightly, for if they had, tbey would have known that all tbe glories of the country-for the past forty years, were traceable to its influence and power.- The old .Democratic party administered the Govern ment in the spirit of liberty. True, Hamilton and Adams opposed tbem, hut they were rebuked into silence by the people. The effort had been once before made of giving the moneyed power into the hands of the .Presidents, but old Jackson th waited tbem in this, and he believed the people would do the same thing now. tie perceived by the report o( a speech of a distinguished gentleman, that he said it was well to get out of the old stage of the Democratic party and walk awhile.
