Frajn the .Standard A CABD. I Ilizabith CiTT- N. CVSept. 8, 1861. It is with reluctance that I obtrude my individ ual grievances upon public attention j nor should I, but that I feel it is due the general constitu ency who so nobly sustained me in two most bit ter and trying contests, for a seat in the State Co ivention.that they should know that the charges preferred against me are false and unfounded. Theyarefalse. They were conceived io sin, ger minated, in iniquity, brought forth in corruption, and disseminated in the slime and filth of party malignity and bate as any, impartial mjnd will at once admit, which will give the following state ment and correspondence a careful perusal and consideration. 4- , To a proper understanding of this matter, it is necessary that I should state that I never was at "Csmp Carolina near Norfolk bat once, and that was on Thursday, the 25A day of July, the day en which the soldier voted in tamp; that while there I beld no conversation with any person, upon any subject, outside of CoL Williams' tettand thetent in which Mr, Samuel P, Pool was sick that I poke to no one in camp jutside of hose two tents, eiceot Lieut. Col. CantwelL, Mr. J. L. Frensley, Mr, William J. Baker, who accompanied me oo visit to tbe camp, and a gentleman who accom minied me from Mr. Pool" lAnt in cn Williams tent, (whose name I. do not know.) To Col. Cant well I spoke, at the carriage, when we first enter ed the camp, and simply sard "we desire i to view tbe camp." He exeused himself, on the score of "engagement," and bade us. walk around. To M r. Frensley I simply spoke and enquired for a paper he promised me a short time before, and to the gentleman who accompanied me from Mr. Pool's to Col. Willliams' tent,I simply replied to his argument, which was a continuation of the argu ment had in Mr. Pool"s tent, that "I know you have the popular side, but a good deal may be said on the other aid of it," u wbio is r&piuA, "yes,there' is considerable reason in your argument, but still I think you are wrong," when ha cordi ally took leave of me ; that I did not remain at Camp Carolina to exceed one hour ; that during the entire visit I was not absent from, or out of the hearing of Mr. W. J. Baker, except the short time I was on a visit to Mr. S. P, Pool, who was sick. I was not in Mr.- Pool's' tent to exceed 15 or 20 minutee,and I have a certificate to that effect, and that , I held no discussion, or talked upon any subject with any person while in in camp save in the presence of the parties named, and the persons from whom I have letters,! which will te published as a part of this Card. The correspondence will ahqw how and when I left Norfolk. I vUited Richmond, and remained until Tuesday, th30th July, when I returned to Nor-, folk in the Petersburg Bail road Cars, at 1 1 o'clock, a. m, I stopped at the National Hotel, registered my name and place of residence, walked about the City, transacted such business-as I had to attend to, dined at the public table, went to the Custom House, obtained of Lieut. Milligan a permit, in my oxen name, to visit Craney Island, Went and returned in the regular steamer for that placa, returned to tbe Hotel and supped at the public ta ble, still in ' blissful ignorance of having commit ted, or being charged with having committed any offence against my God, my country, my section, or in derogation of discipline 1" When 1 bad paid my bill, and was on the steps of the Hotel on my way home how and why the subjoined certificate will show a gentleman, Mr. Jonathan Iindaey, of Washington county, informed me that they wf re handling my name greatly; that it was said that soldiers bad been sent from camp for me for what I had said in camp ; that he heard Thomas Knight and Frank Bogle say so, and that be thought he ought to tell me; that Mr, GrifBn and Jones had heard the same thing, and had been out to camp to see about it, and thev would . I, ii i . -. . . . leu me aw auoui u. a.e also said tnat Mr. D. knew all about it ; but when Mr. D. was question ed, he knew nothing and as Mr. Griffin and Mr. Jones had "been to see about it," and had left no message for me in relation to it, I presume it was some idle report which I could follow indefinitely but never find, and, knowine that a Colonel of rrgiment had no authority in a distant State to di-trnin a citizeri of his Hbe-ty after he bad left his camp and was in an incorporated city, with all tbe means and appliances for the punishment f crimes against the ei vil law, I looked upon the shole thing as superlatively ridiculous, and left for home. Mr. Jones told me, when I reached home on the 31st of July, -that he heard inSNor folk that a file cf svWierg had been sent for me from Col. Williams' camp ; that he went out to tbe Camp to see Col Williams about it, buij Col. Williams was net in the camp, and he did not see him : that some said it was so. and some said it was not so." On the same day, 31st July, I wrote ' . A mnA . I , iir: 1 1 : T . . ker of Norfolk, to call upon Col. Williams and know of him if such proceedings were had ' and, if so, by whom the charges Swe7e prefer- j redand wbat tbe charges wereS On e Eay 1 of August, Col. W.

On the 4ih of August I received from Mr. Ba ker the folowing letter : , Norfolk, Aug. 4, 1861. My Dear Doctor: ' I I did not receive yours of the 31sfuntii yester day, as it was directed to me at Portsmouth, whither I do not regularly go.

On the same night, I addressed the following communication to tbe Raleigh Standard, which appeared in the issue of that paper of the 2 1st ult..- M' "ELIZABKTflT. City, N. C , Aug. 15, 1861. To the Editor of the Standard: Sib: I have no doubt from information which I have received, that I am the party to whom al lusion is made in the article in the State Journal, copied in the Register of the 14th inst., and head ed "Strange, it xrue," anq nowceu in your paper of the same date, headed " A Grave Charge," stating that "a citizen of North Carolina recently visited Camp Carolina, near Norfolk, and in his intercourse with the volunteers, was heard on several occasions lo utter sentiments hostile the South, and friendly to tbe Rump government of I Bt&le'entphatieally, distinctly, and unequivo cally that the wholecharge is false and unfounded from beginning to end; and request .the public to suspend their judgment until tbe matter can be investigated. RUFUS K. SPEED." A day or two after the recept of the article in the Register, Capt. J. W. Hinton, of the 8th regiment State troops, kindly proffered to visit the tent of Col. Williams, and learn whether there was any foundation for these charges, and I re quested him to call upon Col. WV, and know if be had received my letter, and to set of him a state ment of the facts. He informed me that he called to see Col. W., but was in formed that he could not be seen. "He was ill with the measles." Finding it impossible to get a statement from Col. W., I addressed a note to Mr. W. J. Baker, requesting bim to give me a statement of what Col. Williams said to him, when he called upon him at my in stance, in relation to the facts in this matter. I received a reply, dated Norfolk, Aug. 26, 1861 (The letter is too long for publication entire, but the following is what is pertinent to the present issue :) "As to the allegation that you disappeared from camp, or was again missing at Norfolk, there is not one word of truth in it." I have a statement irom Mr. Baker that I was not absent on the visit lo Mr. Pool's tent more than 15 or 20 minutes. I do not think I was in Mr. Pool's tent more than 16 minutes. "On returning from your. visit-to Mr. Pool, you called for me at the Colonel's tent, and we rode in a carriage, accompanied by Mr. Williams, whom you invited to take a seat with us. After reach ing the city, I was with you, together with other friends in the street most of the time sitting in front of the Atlantic Hotel, until the departure of the omnibus for the Petersburg cars, in which ; you left. "ion furtber ask me it you did or said any thing whilst you were with me, which subjected jour loyalty to my suspicions. In reply to this, I can state, that before geing to the camp, you said that you were not content to remain idle, whilst tbe whole South was flying to arms to de fend its rights, and that you were tben on your way to Richmond to ask President Davis to give you the appointment of a Surgeon in the Confed erate army, in which position, from your profes sional experience, you thought you could render greater service than in any other capacity. This, it must be confessed, was not calculated to excite my suspicions of your loyalty to the cause of the South. "You further request me to state what conver sation occurred between Col. Williams and my self, when I subsequently inquired of him, at your instance, if it was true, as reported, that he had sent a file of soldiers for your arrest, and, if so, upon wnat charge tne proceeding w.is based. Col. Williams in this conversation informed me I v 7 v I T V . v Jr 8ucl1 pur' but h had . offi to request U P Ce ?' h" l-ent' B? u t08Peak to about VV8 P . F men as such discussions were wffil? PnrT,rfdlphn-e- lW he hsib.een lnlorl?.ed of a discussion which took place in rrivfiiA fnn 'a rnnr nn tha 011 Hv aa f in-Private tool's tent, on the subject of soldiers voting while out of the State, which, upon being reported in camp, created excitement among the men. He stated at the same time, that though he highly disapproved of your views as expressed in his tent, he had no thought of expressing his ob jection to any thing you had said." Mr. Jos. H. Pool who was present at this con versation has kindly, at my request, furnished me wiih tbe following statement : "Having heard a report derogatory to the char. acter of Dr. R. K. Speed whilst io Norfolk a short ?.l ai" - ? maae Dy Dr. S. r . i . . :ZZZ:J:U?' na mnei Ption lnrn n ic i j-vrra i t-vr ak. o l hilt that his Arguments against giving soldiers the right to ;vto hi auip ubu pruuuueu considerable dissatis faction among the soldiers, and it was that to which he objeoted.

It will also be seen that I did not use any expression to which the Colonel had any thought of "expressing his objection," as I had said nothing in bis presence tbat-eouta be construed into disloyalty to the South. The only other point in this matter to be settled is, that I did not use in private Pool's tent any sentiment anfriendiy to the South. I ad dressed a note to JUr. a. Jr. 1001, requesting him to state if I did or did not use any expression in nis tent unirieoaiy jotae souin, and to slate to me who was present and with whom the conver sation was held, and received a'reply dated Au ..... 1 . - gust loin, in wnicn ne gays : - . - "X don't know wnether you said anvthimr of a character indicating disloyalty to the South on your part. The gentlemen that I remember present were leiut. lay lor and Dr. Miller with w bom you neld tne conversation. I addressed a communicatimi to each of these gentlemen, and received the following replies : "Hospital 2d Kkq. N.-C. Vol., Sept. 3, 1861. Dr. R. K.

You also ui use 01 some words censuring the civil au thorities, but did not hear you make any remark against the government itself. Whila vonr n. versation uoh the subject of soldiers voting was offensive to me, and I presume, unnonular with every soldier, besides a large majority of our citizens at home, I de not think that I heard you r . . ootun w Baj ocntiment mat was strict ly treasonable or disloyal to the Confederate ro. inment. , Kespectfully.yourobed'tserv'L ' JNO.

Your obt Serrt, JNO. T. TAYLOR, 1st Sergt., ; Co.y. 2d Reg. N. C. Vol." The foregoing statements establish, 1st, that I used no language in CoL. Williams' presence to which he-had any thought of "expressing his ob .jectionsV'ior "that could ba construed into disloy alty to the South." And 2d, that Col. Williams did not send a file of aoldiers to arrest .Dr. Speed ir Norfolk or elsewhere: but simply requested an officer to see Dr. Speed, and request him to visit his tent, that ho might explain to him his objec tions to discussing political questions in his camp among his men. And 3d, that I did n ot "dis appear" from camp, or "was again missing" in Norfolk. 4th, that I did no, in Mr. Pool's tent, make any remark against the Government itself, or give expression to any "sentiment that was strictiv treasonable or disldyaljo the "Confede erate Government," or "utter anything treasona ble." HI... The only remaining matter is, that "He was known to be in favor of Lincoln's reinforcing Fort Sumter." Indeed, who says, sot I never uttered such a sentiment either in public or pri vate ; but on tbe contrary I said both publicly and privately that Lincoln ought to withdraw the forces both from Sumter and Pickens and in the canvass in February, I declared openly and publicly, that as a Union man I should, advise the withdrawal by Mr. Buchanan of the forces from the forts in the seceded States as the only means of preserving the Union ; that .to , hold them would inevitably lead to a conflict of arms which would result in a final separation between tbe North and tbe South. I deny that I am amenable to the charge of having "discussed political topics with the men in' camp." I held no conversation with any one outside of the Colonel's and Mr. Pool's tents. In Col. Williams' tent I joined in a con versation introduced by an officer, and participa ted in by the omeers; and in Mr. Pool's tent I defended what was admitted to be an unpopular act of rav own when asked my reasons ; and I state that no one in either of those tents or else where manifested any disoleasure at anything I said. No one warned, no one threatened, no one admonished, me, no one complained tome of any thine said.' I am not Quite certain, but to the beet of my recollection, I did not speak to any man in camp except Mr.S. P. Pool. They were all officers: to whom I spoke, or with whom 1 held any intercourse. ! RUFUS K. SPEED. j P. S. After I had finished the above Card the mail came, and I received Mr. John Spel mart's letter of the 2d Sept. post-marked the 4th, in reply to the 25th ult. h I had waited for the information contained in it until my patience was exhausted, and I can not now Withhold this communication longer from the- public, in consequence of the receipt of the letter.

The most interesting and authentic account of the recent engagement between General Floyd and the enemy at Carnifax Ferry appeared in the Lynchburg Republican, of Friday, written by Col. R. fl. Glass, who participated it. the en gagement. From this account we extract the following : ; Hjcadqttartibs niak Doawooi) Gap, "l i September 11, 1861. On Monday last we received intelligence of the a A xi anna nf th pinemv- in heavv force from the direction of Sutton, along the Summerville road. On Tuesday morning Col. McCauselin's regiment, which had been down at Summerville as our ad- Tunm. was driven in. and the enemy encamped fourteen miles distant from us. We expected him to drive in our pickets qja Tuesday night and attack us on Wednesday morning ; out con trary to expectations, he forced his march and drove in our Dickei s at 2 o'clock Tuesday. Our line of battle was at once formed behind our breast works, and scarcely had all our forces been placed in position before the enemy was seen swarming . in tha wnnHs from one end of our lines to the other. Ha anoroached with irreat deliberation and firmness, and his central column emerged from the woods' and above the hills, two hundred vards in our front, lust 15 minutes after 3 o'clock He approached us from this point in double-quick time, evidently intending to force our works at the point of the bayonet. At the first crack of our rifle the gallant Colonel who led in front of his men, on a splendid black charger, feu dead to the earth, while the head of his column recoiled in utter confusion. The Colonel's horse, as unconsci ous of the fall of his rider.dasheduptoour embank menu and around them into our camp, and from the inscription upon the mountings of bis pistols, proved to be Col. Wm. H. Lytell's, of Cincinna ti. I saw the daring officer fail 'from his horse, and he was certainly one of the bravest of the brave, for be souzbt "the bauble reputation" at the very cannon's mouth. ' The enemy's columns now opened upon us along the whole of odr centre and right, and tor an hour the rattle of musketry and the thunder of our artillery was incessant and terrible. The enemy was driven back and silenced ror a moment, but came again to the fight, supported with five or six pieces of artillery, two et wnicn were rifled cannon. For another hour and a half the battle raged with terrific fury, andlagain the enemy 's suns were silenced ana ne an yen from our view. The sun was now fast sinking beyond the dis tant mountains, and we were strongly in hopes that tbe enemy had met his final repulse for the evening ; but a few minutes dispelled our illusion. lor the third time tbe enomy came back to tne conflict with more violence and determination than before. He assailed us this time Irom one end of our lines to the other, and tried his best to flank us. For another hour and a half, and until the dark curtains of night closed in upon us, the fight raged with intense fury. At first, tbe ranee both of their small arms and ar tillerv was verv bad.shootine entirely over our heads. Tbe range of the cannon was especially bad, for while their balls cut off the tops and split open tbe gian t oaks in our encampment, their shells, with few exceptions, burst high in tbe air and full fifty yards in our rear. But when they came to tbe last charge they bad gotten tbe range far better, and their balls began to plow up our embankments, while their shells broke di rectly over us in every direction and with terrible fury. Tbe enemy seemed to j& perfectly enraged at our obstinate resistance, and was determined to pour out the full vials of his wrath upon a. The battle ceased at 15 minutes past 7 o'clock, having continued almost incessantly four long hours. Out men to stood tbeir posts with aston ishing coolness and courage. The onlv fault they committed during tbe battle was that of firing upon the enemy at to long a range, and while too securely posted behind the dense forest trees which skirted our entire lines. We did not lose a single man killed, and not more than ten wounded. The enemy's loss could not be Ascertained, but at one single spot, where Col. Lytell fell, we counted 37 dead bodies. The prisoners inform us that their loss was heavy, and from the fact that we silenced their guns three times, we are confident this report is entirely true, Tbe prisoners also informed usthatanoiher Colonel, whose name 1 do not remember, was badly if not latauy wounded, and his horse killed under bim. Our omceis acted wih great coolness and brav ery. lne battle bad raged but twentv minutes when our gallant Oeneral was very painfully wounded in the right arm, the ball entering near the elbow and passing out near his wrist, without breaking any bone. We retired with him a short distance under the hill and bad the wound dress ed by Surgeon Gleaves. and in ten minutes be was again moving along our lines, encouraging his men by his presence and his voice. At a la ter stage or the ngnt a Minnie Dall tore through the lappel of his coat, and another through tbe cantle of his saddle. Indeed, it is the wonder of allot us how he escaped death. None but his staff and surgeon knew he was wounded until the close of the fight. He is now suffering much pain We bad dispatched Uen. Wise in the morning for reinforcements, and be had declined to send them for fear of an attack upon him by Gen Uox. We had also sent couriers for tbe .North Carolina and Georgia regiments to come up, but it was impossible tor them to reach u in time to support us. At 10 o'clock last night, therefore, our forces proceeded to retire from tbe position they had so heroically defended during the day, and by light this morning they were all safely and in order across the river, with all tbeir baggage, &o., ex cept some lew tmngs which were lost from neg- ieci anu want 01 transportation. We are now nitchiner our tents at this rlacn. on the main Charleston road, about 15 miles from 1 1 -1 Gauley Bridge, and 55 miles west of Lewisburg. obh. yy ise is encamped at Liogwood uap, a few miles above us, while a portion of his force holds the Hawk's K est below us. X thins the nubile and nil mihtarir man agree that both our fight and our fall back to thi side of the river are among the most remarkable inciaents m tne history of war. Seventeen hun ored men, with six inferior pieces of artillery. fought back four times their number, with -much superior artillery, for mora than four long hours, repulsed them three times, and remained masters of the ground. ; They then retired, their numbers. baggage, stores, and more than two hundred ick and wounded, across the river, from 10 P. M. to 4 a.. M , along one of the steepest and worst sin gle-track roads tht eyer horses hoof trod on or ever man saw. roar o'clock found theee men three miles forom the enemy, wi.h our nawlv. constructed bridge destroyed and our boats sunk behind us, , I think these facts show a generalship Jui.nuu.LdN'B 1 INSTRUCTIONS - TO FRE MONT. -.
