The above is in the happiest vein of the "Standard's reekless assertion and total disregard of truth. We have known Stan hope Flonrnoy well and long, and there is not a citizen of the Confederacy more true to its honour and interest than he is, and not one who looks down, with more scorn and contempt than he does .upon the miserable bastard, and misnamed "conservatism" which owes its origin to the editor of the Baleigh 'Standard," and whose only end and aim is the crippling of . everyV effort to preserve the South from subfacation by the Yankees.

Such a concern as a, Holdeo "conservative" can't be found in all Virgin ia. It is true that there are in the North western part of the State those: who sympa thise with the Yankees, and advocate a re construction of '.the Union.' But these mis guided men men have at any. rate the merit of manliness. They -avow themselves boldly and do not sneakingly commit a petit larce ny upon the English language by stealing, taking and carrying away, ' aud perverting the true meaning of an English word, to hide their real purposes. These men will tell you they want.no gingerly name to indioate their principles .and 'purposes. They will tell joa they are far the suppression of the "rebellion," and the re -construction of the Union and don't want any honied ' phrases or perverted- words to sneak, nnden No, yon may search Virginia, from the Roanoke to the Potomao, and from the .Capes to the Ohio, and you will not find on her soil any snob fungus as Kaleigh "Slandard". "con servatism." That is a mushroom concern exclusively confined to the soil of this State. As a- mushroom it came up, and as a mush room it will go out. j k i- A f sWoMEBt r The Kaleigh "Progress" ; says that the conflict for Governor "to Virginia was be tween William Smith,"Democrat," andThos.

It has been reserved for the Hoi- dinites of North Carolina to enjoy exclu sively the honour and glory of being conservatives;" or the enemies of the Con- e derate .Government and -the cause for which it is battling. Smith and Flournoy are both true Southern men, and the word "conservatism," in the Hoi Jen sense of the erm, stinks in their nostrils as it does in the nostrils of every, respectable man in the South outside of the borders of this State. 05": The, Raleigh'Standard,,, instead of sneering at ns fori coming from "a State that prodnoed a marsnaii. . had better answer m. . w m . . our argument showing the error' of Judge Pearson's decision.

We had never expected to see the oav when the Yankees would undertake to 'astonish, the world itbnoblede5dsofhorsenvmhip,aedIeastofall, when they should expect tofrigbt the South from Its .propriety by cavalry. Well kwareof the tact that whilst the -Southern child isicradled as it were on horseback, and becomes as Wliar with equestrian exercise as the Arab of Ihedesert, the Yankee has no affinities with the horse, but looks np to Wm jatnrally nnd rly instrument of.Southern 6ul had recalled to mind the history of that enternris ing people before theer a of railroads, We could not have failed to remember' that the horse was the identical animal by, which the Yankee originall subjugated commercially the South, a&d all other portions of the country not accessible by water.--The era of Yankee pedlar wagons was unknown to the present generation ; but of all the raids that the South has suffered, ot is likely to- suffer, none can equal the depletion which she suffered finan cially from the raids of the Yankee pedlars, who traversed her whole surface, from the Potomao to the Gulf, and laid every farm house under contri bution to their insatiable Cupidity, The horse, not mounted, but hitched to a pedlar-wagon ; not ca vorting and gaily caparisoned, but staid and sol emn as his master, was driven by the Yankeee of a former generation to every Southern plantation, and never left without carrying off jail the loose change of the n eighborhood, depositing in lieu tnereot Xantcee elocfes and notions generally of the most worthless and miserable character. The celebrated Tom Cor win, at a JPilgrim Bock festi val in Ohio, after listening to an oration in which the Sons of the Pilgrims were extolled to the Heavens as the pioneers of all the comforts and civilization' of the continent, said that, for his part, he never saw a Son of the Pilgrims till he saw one drivinga pedlar cart, and that he did not mase his appearance till the region he visited bad become thoroughly reclaimed from the savages and had a little surplus cash I Where the carcass is there the eagles are gathered together, and where tb"money is, there the pedlars, with an eye keener than, the eagle's, discovered their prev.-r- The introduction of railroads only transferred the pedlars from wagons to cars, and never till the present war did they let go their hold of their vic tims. They are now betaking themselves to horses agaio, for the same old object of rascality and plunder, only carried on in a different form. They are simply coming now as open and ac knowedgd banditti, whereas they stole from us before under the guise of peaceful traders. and friends. We honestly believe: that we have less to fear from them now than formerly, for the horse, except meek, gentle, and hitched tb a pedlar cart, is not the animal which can be used by a Yankee with any probability of military renown. Yet, strange to say, the announcement that the Yan- sees iqiena io pus a uunureu tnousana men on horeebsck, and ravage ihe whole South with .fire .and swo:d, has created as great a sensation as did the gunboats, .which at one time were regarded "as amphibious monsters, and capable of subjugat ing the whole Southern Confederacy. We do not desire to underrate the real damage which may be done by extensive cavalry raids and feel quite sure that whenever they can ascer tain beforehand, as they did m tbe late raid near this city, that they will meet with no resistance, they will pounce down upon us like so many li ons, lr, for example, toe people oltbis city should forget the warning of the Stoaeman raid and ne glect to organize the large ' number of men here capable of bearing arms, tbe Yankees wbuld readi ly ascertain the fact, and come- swooping down upon Richmond burn the bridges, and perhaps carry off some important prisoners. A contem porary suggests that they might even rush far to the interior,, and that' even tte inland town of Danville considered the safest place in the Com monwealth might be reached by the invading hordes. Whenwe bear in mind the long proces sion of pedlar wagons which in days gone by pass ed through Danville Ion their way to North Caro lina, we are not without misgiving that the ped lars on horseback may take the same route with their ancestral pedlars in wagons But to be fore warned is, or ought to tvto be forearmed.! The Yankee horsemen are never coming when the peo ple are prepared for their reception, an din a thick! jy wooded country it 4is easy, ' with a small body of resolute men,-to keep on a large body of cav alry, and make their enterprise a dtaastrous failure. There are, besides, modes of obstructing the pro-: gress of cavalry as well as of gunboats, and .tor pedoes for the land as well as tbe sea.; The. conn try authorities should at once put themselves tin communication -ailh our .military leaders, and they will doubtless receive some information which will satisfy them: that the projected raid of t. 'i -i l -F- . . . me peuiara on iiorBeoacK can oe maae tne mcei ruinous speculation that ever Yankees engaged in. But they should not delay their action for ft mo ment, if they wh te save their property and to bag a good many Yankee horses. The pedlars themselves, if they venture far in the Interior, can all be made prisoners, but we have mora than enoogh of such cattle. What we want is their horses, and every Virginia farmer, instead of per mitting his own horses to be taken, should mak his plans to add tahis owmstables by the addition ot -ranker horses, the only inhaoitanti or x an- keedora who are a desirable addition to Southern territory. Let it neyer be forgotten that the horse. except in a;pedlarcact, is never to be dreaded by tne nescendants ot the uavauers. 'xney owe it to their own reputation, not less than their security, and to the wrongs which their fathers sufferei at (the hands ef the pedlars that every Yankee horse r ' t : - ' o . t ; j . i i , - ja l engaged in a oouuiern raia suaii u maae prisoa er, and go to liquidate as fa? as possible the dam-1 ages which the country has suflered from nrst to IasL from the cheating, thieving and robbing sons of the Pilgrims. lacfi.
