CON'CL'KREXCli OF- VIEWS The views expressed by1 "a North Caroli Lian," the -correspondent of the Salisbury 'Watchman," are aim jet' identical with tLoso expressed in the .leading article of our last.papcr. It is plain that the South has made no war on the North, and, equally plain that the South can have no honorable "peace" with the North, until the latter withdraws its troops from the soil of thfc former,' and ac knowledges its independence. Tho Holdeu peace meetings, by their action, substantially v denounce the State Convention which de clared the withdrawal or secession of North 1 Carolina from the Union,! and her accpssion to the Confederacy, it this Convention bad no right to declare jsuch secession, or ha'ving the right, made the declaration cause lessly and recklessly, then, upon the soul of every member of that body (its action was unanimous) from the President down to Hoiden, there rests a weight of guilt which should sink each and .every one of them down to the lowest depths of perdition for UDon them will rest the fearful responsibility of all the bloodshed, and all the bereavements sustained and privations endured in this war. Bit, thank God, the Convention in curred no EUeh responsibility. It Bpoke the voice of North Carolina, and acted "wisely." In the language of a member of the body , W. Ilolden, Esq.,) "henceforth her (North Carolina') destinies are j with the 'States pf the South; and 6he will make good "her act of the20tb of Miay, 1861,' with her last dollar and her last nun, if such a sacri fice elroqld be required at her hands." See Rati Standard, May 22i, 18G. j . What say the friend3 of peace and endor sers of Hoiden ta this language ? TUE U EATlllilt, &c. After some ten days of swelteringly hot weather, the hottest we have suffered in this placc wo were visited on Wednesday and Thursday with delightful rains, which cooled the atmosphere, laid the dust,- and best of all, gave an impetus to the corn crop, which had ' suffered from long continued rain, succeeded by hot and dry weather. Looking at the , fact that an unusually largeuantity.of land : wa3 devoted to corn this year, we are justified in believing that an abundant crop will be ; yielded. . ! : j Ona of tho" effect of (he very hot spell we j have jut passed through," was to soften our ! rollers" so much as to -interfere! detriment r tolly with the neat typographical appearance i our paper. ' . ' ' . EXELLKNT " AKTICIiES. . We copy tday froiti.theaiisbury " Watch man" two capital articics6he an editorial rapping, ever the knuckles those who are, in adranco of any trial of its working, en deavoring to difgust the people with tho tax in kind, and tho other a communication set ting forth the folly of those who are demand ing that the South shall make propositions of peace to the North. The' attempt .to render odious the tax in kind originated with that combination cf cunning and trea sen, thejditor of the "Standard,' and we sec 'that son;eof the meetings which ,hc has caused to he held in this State have qoni plained, uot only cf the appointment of "one Bradford as chief Tythingman," but have protested sgainst tho payment of the tythe itself. . And yet, the traitorous originator of the'i'e ticctiigg,- an3"thti' resolaticns adopted by them, when rebuked for his treason, has the effrontery to say, that he has "given an unwavering support to the war" that he has "advocated all necessary war measures," and "sustained every measure deemed" ne cessary to strengthen, the public credit." Three more deliberate and payable false hoods were never strung together in the same space. When he says he has given an un wavering support -to the war, he knows that at every step h'e has tried to embarrassthose who are conducting it. The conscription was deemed "a necessary measure" In the conduct of tho war, and he denounced it, and attempted to make the tpeoplo dissatisfied with it. As far back as eighteen month; ago he declared that tho "Confederate debt would bo repudiated." When the Confederate tax bill was. passed, he denounced it as oppres sive. . When the Confederate Government proposed to fund some of its'obligations at 8 pr oent. interest, he proclaimed that "no nation could pay such a rate of interest." And, last ly, when the tax in kind was resorted to to re duce the plethora of paper currency, he lost no time in denouncing it.; And yet he has the audacity .to say that "he has sustained every measure deemed necessary to strength en the public credit." Is this not the acme of brazen mendacity and eldrontery ? GOV. VANCE.

Fully concurring with the "Dispatch" in f ts? otimmendation of G.ov. Yanee, it is due to what we know to bo the truth to say that much of the. power of he Ilaleigh "Stan dard'Mo do mischief is' derived from the fact that there is a general belief that con fidential political relations exist between the editor of that paper and : Gov. Vance. Gov. Vance owes his election to the office which he holds to what, by a gross abuse of lan guage is called the "Conservative" party of this State, and this party owes its origin to the insidious machinations of the editor of the "Standard." This party have a majori ty in tho Legislature of the State, and have done much, and tried to do more, to embarrass the operations of the war, and render its prosecution distasteful to the people. These are' Gov. Vance's surroundings, and they will account to people abroad tfor his em barrassed condition, j ' : PATRIOTIC SENTIMENTS. f Gov.

The Committee then reported the fol lowing resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : ' ' . Wukbeas, The officers and soldiers of the 6th "North Carolina troops have witnessed with regret and indignation the course pursued by Ihe'Raleigh Standard, and a few exempts and non-combatant3 in North Carolina, inJrelation to the struggle that we are daily making for our freedom and inde pendehce - arid whereas, this course is giving aid and comfort to the enemy, calculated to mislead theredaloua at home, and tarnish the fair namei of our good State in the eyes of the gpod, wise and patriotic, therefore, . r Resolved, I. That we, the officers and privates of the 6th North Carolina troops, greatly desire peace, hut we scorn any peace that i -not based upon a separation of" the Confederacy from all po litical relatfbn3 with the late United States, and a recognition of our independence-, and until that is eecured, we are willing 'to continue the struggle as long as one of us is left to march against our barbarous" enemy.

Jtis reported that there is a good deal of dissat isfaction w ith this taxjsnd that there, will be some embarrassment in its collection, owing to this fact. It is a' misfortune of the gravest possible cht racier that there should beany causes, real or imagina ry, just or unjust, tending to disturb the harmony of the people at a time so critical. Of us, it may be truly said, "united, they stand : divided-,, they faH And such a fall! should it happen! -The depth of its degradation ha3 not yet been sounded The sum of it will bs a long drawn out woe, ex tending to children's childrth, after it has Carried our gray hairs' to the tomb in torrow and dis grace. " . -. .'" The chief objections urged to th'is tax i?, that it will be wasted. Those vho aro most disposed to cavil about it say : "the wheat, coni, &c., &c , which they are called on to pay, will never bene fit toe soldiers in the field, but-will either be left in heape, here aud there, to rot, or will be con sumed by the greedyelf presarving, lordly Ccm- missaries, (4uartorm asters and other bangers-on at tho Governsuaent, who are l'ving.at home in grand style at the cost of the people, whose sons and bus? bands are starving and fighting in.the army. "The most dissatisfied have averred., "that if they were certain the tax would benefit the army and our cause, they would pay it with hearty good will ; but to have it wasted, or consumed by pampered officials, who will afterwards be sent to impress, or rob them of remaining stocks of produce, is more than they can bear," &c. ; This is simply 2)reJXil9in9 tbe case. f It is anti cipating evil before the evil itself is apparent, and rashly committing one's self to another and more fatal evil. It is true that much produce has been wasted during this war. ' There is always in eve ry war, a groat deal of waste y and it is. not pofsi bleto avoid it entirely. And it is doubtless true, that officiafs have consumed, in some leases, more than they were entitled to. Neither. kan this be a voided entirely. . It has been a. long time since we had public officers so conscientiously honest I tnat they would not rob the Government when they had the chance to do so without being dis covered ; and wo fear it will be-'jis long beforo we havo any othcr ,kind. Public officers must bj watched. The people, whose servants they are, should "never cease to watch them, and hold them to strict and ffequent.account. They are a neces sary evil ia all Government?, and tho only reme- dy to regulate and control them as tvell a3 pps.- ble, lor we cannot do wittiout tuem.j iney are generally men . of our own solaclion, or. havo been appointed by those whom wo did seieet ;.and we are therefore .under obligation to give them the benefit of all, doubts; or, in other words, we should no.t'beliQvo them guilty until their guilt is shown. -: And in rogard to the waso of provisions by rotting, it cannot always he avoided. Jit is abso lutely necessary that large -stores of ! provisions should be collected together, ready.-to bo sent wherover needed. Stimetimesrt'hey have to be kept on . hand too long, and then there isi waste. If Commissaries and their agonts could foresee when tho provisions would ha needed, they might to some extent, guard against waste from jth is cause. But there 13 a great deal, of uncertainty in war affairs as well as in the more common ones of eve ry day life ; and those in authority must take the risk and bear the responsibility ot actions with the best lights before thorn. They make great blun ders sometimes, just as men do in private affairs, and are then more worthy of our sympathy than of our condemnation ' ! Ahd now, we think it must be plain to those who-are disposed to give the Government sgents all the trouble they can in collecting tho provision tax that they are doing themselves and our cause more harm than they intended. At all, events, we submit to them these reflections hoping that they . I T A' 1 1 J .. may be led to examine me suoject caimiy ana the light of reason. We are ali bound together in a comm6n"cau9e, with"' ohecommonrdeBtiny, and what affects one must affect all the rest.

Bbpkkb Dear Sir : Allow me, as one of your subscribers, to thaak. you for your article upda the peace movement, which one or two misguided journals in our State essay to inaugurate; The views and ar guments you present, are certainly those, which rea sonable and reflecting men are hound to entertain. Who does not want peace 1 Certainly every good cit izen is watching anxiously for its crepuscular bright Desa but when do they look for it? The war cloud gathered in the North, and it is from thence the storm has been raging upon us, and certainly it ia only there that the star of hope can appear.1 , Who desired war in this great political movement ( Certainly; the South did not, as is shown in our having made no preparation for it in advance of our separation from the old Union. The Convention of North 'Carolina, 'composed of the sages of the State, the leading spirits among whom had never been tne advocates oicnose doctrines of States Rights which tepded b a separa tion frbm the Union, found it necessary to exercise its sovereignty and withdrew from" the Federal compact, in order, if possible, to save it from the rujn whichTwas inevitable, if it remained under the Lincoln" Govern ment. - The danger of remaining in the Union, con sisted in the fact that the avowed purpose of the Lin coln administration was. a disregard to the constitu tionalrighks of the Southern States, an'd .the fact that war had already been declared against those which had determined to take care of themselves by. with drawing from a government, whose open declaration was their destruction. For North Carolina to have re mained would have been' a servile submission to the power .which held over her the BTrordof destruction, and a forfeiture of all self-respect nd claim to' a decent regard of even those who threatened us. "JBy the action of the Convention, the State took'the posi tion which duty required, and in doing so, she made no declaration of war upon the old Union,'; but simply attempted to direct her own affairs peaceably. But the Government from which she hid withdrawn de clared war upon her-she has been energetically, de fending herself. :' ? 1 .a; v""--' .-- This is now the condition of affairs, i And what change, or symptoa of change, has been discovered ia the policy of the Lincoln Government towards us which' will justify our State" in making . overtures of peace ? None has been, suggested ! .What, then, shall we declare that ou Convention acted in had faith in placing the State in the Confederacy ? Shall we blur the bright page of historj written in the blood of our heroes, who sleep apon every battle, field of the war ? Shall we declare to the thousands mainaetffor 'ife, that scars aud those amputated limbs, instead of at testing your patriotism and devetion to your iriehtf. shall witness for you through time.that you "have been ire UDtortunate dupe of a weak or wicked Convention, which, without a due appreciation of Lincoln's power; incurred his dreadful wrath J Shall we- say to the mourning mothers and widows that jour , sons and husbands have been the victims of a stupendous mis take? . For North Carolina to make propositions of peaccjis to aevreau this. But suppose this peace movement succeeds to tho full extent ef the wishes of those who agitate it, what then l Will our soldiers withdraw from the army of tiio cntederacy and fall into. line with those detected enemies before whom they have lor two years stood in battle array"? Never, never ! ,ToTe neutral is im possible; then the State" will necessarily be regarded as in a hostile condition to the? Confederacy, and in stead of standing shoulder to f boulder with the South iu keeping outran invading arigj, which' bag in -every Instance, where it obtained power, shown itself to be controlled by the most beastly characteristics of van dalisin, or at once be occupied by both contending ar miesin deadly conflict for tbe possession of our soil. devastation and utter rum will be the necessary fate ot our mottter State, ; and having fotfeited all claims to respectability, no impulse cf sympathywould move a nuinan ncart towards us. - All good men will entreat you to hold steadily to your purpose of averting from us this terrible ruin, and thfough the Influeaoe of your paper save us from that shame which the agitators of this movement are bringing upon us. ! ' The advice of the prime mover to run peace candi dates in every district for Congress, is an effort to show a disloyalty to the- Confederacy, which doesno in fact exist, and which will be a direct invitation to the en emy to invade our State, and at least bring partialde stmction upon it, There is no questicrn but the course of thoe who cry for peace, has induced the enemy to hope for friends in our midst, and has been one cause of his persistent efforts against us. Our only hope is an un broken front, an unwavering line, and when out ene my is himself ready for peace, we will be in condition to make such terms as will 'secure td our posterity that inheritance of freedom and independence which cost our fathers seven vears. war to obtain.

Enterprising, callant spirits, are neart and soul m the movement, and the Government backs them up with all its au thority and power. For this the" Government deserves and will receive the warm thanks. of the people; and if what is clearly practicable is car ried out, and the river close.!, against Yankee commercial vessels, there will he great compensa tion for the disastrous losses oT Vicksburg and Port Hudson. It can he done, ought . to be done, and we believe jvill bo done. A Gallant iFjEAX.-i-A correspondent writes to the Fayetteville (N, O.) Obsorvejr, as follows ; Knowing that you will take pleasure in publish ing any aet of gallantry performed by a North Carolinian, iu justice to a brave soldier I have concluded to wita you this letter,. .Where all acted so well it is hardly fair to -mention names but . Lieutenant W.'H. Littlejohn, Company A, 51st N. C- Troops, deserves especial notice. On Tuesday, the 14th ult., the enemy's sharpshootors continued very much to annoy the garrison at Battery Wagner, by picking off every man who dared to show his bead above the parapet.

He tellsua that our troops hold undisputed sway 'of all those late con quests in Louisiania west of the Mississippi. They, as well las the people, are in fine spirits, undepressed by the fall of Vicksburg, and not onlyabl eto hold their own, but at the proper time to help us on this side the river. Gen. Magruder is fortifying Sabibe Pass, arid ready to co-operate with KirbV Smit,i. Tay!or is securing his, con quests and is zealously supported by the planters, who, : when i Banks overrun tne country, were ready to give; up and take the oath. Banks scouted at their oaths and took their property, They are now fighting men and war, men to the bitter end.

Lout.-Gen.! Habdeb. It appears that , Gen. Hardee has been placed in immediate command of tbe army of. Mississippi under; the general su pervision of Gen. J. E. Johnston. This-is a judi cious arrangement. The field of operations " in the Southwest is a vast one both ia extent and importance and will require the whole time' and energies of. Gen. Johnston to superintend and harmonise the movement of its several - parts. He will have n6 time left to command a separate army, . 1.- . ., ' Gen. Hardee is an oflicer of the highest merit, and we venture1 to predict, will prove himself the very man for tie position to -which be is appoint ed.
