I TUE AAIiEIGH STANDARD. Since the commeneerneat tof this war the EdUox' of the Raleigt' Bjtan4ard has been most persistent in his effor to make misohief, and distract arid divide he people ! of the State at a time when, of all ojhers, they should be most horougbljr united.. If the people are Ubt disunitedrand discordant now, it; is from no, lack of effort " on ihia part to bring about so dire , and calamitous a condi tion of s afiFairs, Nothing can be done by the authorities to win hu approbation The mo tives of some ef the . very .best men in the State are impeached in almost every issue of his -paper, and if the. people; credited bis Btateinents, they would be brought to the conclusion that they were jthe Worst govern ed set of folk's on earth. Disclaiming all tiwnship, be ii notoriously attempting to i build-up a party for his ovni sggrandizamcnt . and 'the gratification of. has own insensate j ambition.' .To this end be p toadying to and ! liokspittling men whom he, has s)cbt a life- time in maligning. Scomed aod:rcpudiated by the Demooratio party, which he betrayed ; because it would not make Um Governor, he is now making fulsome and diegastlnadvances . 'towards, certain leaders ojf the; old Whig.

' His , constant vltuperation'of wiat he calls origi- : nal secessionists, and sugar-coating of those . whom he calls " old ; Udioiv men' warrant the inference that bo is tired j of secession and would cladly hail a reconstruction of the Union. What does the Standard mean by such a sentence as this, which ' wd find in an j editorial in his last paper t ;.

BRINGING FORWARD THE BEXXS. of different churches are readily, complying with the request of the Confederate Govern ment to give up their bells with a view to their being cast into cannon. They will be devoted to a holy and sacred work that of securing to us civil, and religious freedom. Qod will smile upon them in their new voca tiod of hurling death and destruction Upon infidels and ?andals men who have set at naught all the precepts of His gospel as benignly as He did when their chimes sum mooed the worshippers to His altars. Wo are very sure that there is not a church bell in the South that will not be tendered to the Governments If we do not prevent the Yan kees from getting possession of our country, our church edjiioes will be of little use to us, as their pulpits will be occupied by puri tanical, PraiaoGod-Bare-Bones, cropp-ear-ed, round-bead, Yankee Abolition parsons, who will preach blasphemy through their noses and compel us to pay for it. RALEIGH AND GASTON RAILROAD I COMPANY. l j will be seen by the proceedings of the Stockholders of the Raleigh and Gaston Raiiroad Company, at their meeting held on Tuesday last, that they have instructed the Board of Directors to subscribe for $200, 000 1 worth of the stock of the Chatham Railroad Company. We hope that no time will be lost in getting this vitally important work under way. The vast mineral treasures which, when oompleted, it will develope, willjsupply a demand more urgent than has exisjed at any previous period of our history. A large number of negroes have been re moved from the eastern part of the State, and their owners will gladly hire them out tn wnrk in nrt rm<hy a ryvrtinn nf the StatA as that whiop this road will traverse. BURNSIDE'S MOVEMENT. There is a great deal of uncertainty about tho next movement of theBurnside Expedi tion.! Burn side is said to be making en trenchments at Newborn, and we think it extremely doubtful whether he will attempt to move from that point westward. We are inclined to the opinion that his next move ment will be either upon Wilmington or Suf folk.! Should we be wrong in our conjecture, and should Burnside attempt to reach-Golds-boro we predict for him a signal defeat, as our men are all ready panting for the fray, j V LADIES' GUNBOAT. Tlie ladies of North Carolina, determined not to be behind those of any other State in any work calculated to advance the cause of our glojious Confederacy, are agitating the subject of building a gunbpat for thia State, the fund for this purpose to be raised by subscription; We published in our last a communication on this subject, and to-day we publish another from Mrs. Sally It. Col lins, proposing something practical. We call attention to Mrs. Collins' communica tion, and will simply remark that whatever is to be done should be done at once. I " Fob thbRegister. To the Women of North. Carolina: Already have the women of Virginia, South Caro lina and Alabama collected a fund to build gunboats for the 'defence of their respective States, and the in terests of -the Confederacy. In our struggle for liber ty, oar .State has been behind hand in nothing, nor can 2 think! she means to be. in any project, .whereby her seal and honor can be vindicated. I call then upon lour patriotic women to co-opeiate In contributing a suffi cient sum for a gunboat, to be called ine via aorta State." land I venture to submit, for their approval, a p'an fof obtaining the necessary fund. It is thii : To 4t8K some one or more persons iu thtjt wnuiiu uw tate td accept the post of collector, and to extend the subscription list to high and low, rich and poor, so that every women and child within our borders may kave the opportunity to aid in maintaining the cause of the (Confederacy and tne nonor ox ine good old North State. Mrs. John W. Ellis will take the wes tern part of North Carolina, and in the middle mud eastern portions, 1 trust J. may meet witn tne same cor dial response from those with whom I have yet to eommunieate that haa already been returned by those who have consented to act as collectors. Any person not within reach of a collector, and de siring tf give to this object, can do so by forwarding her subscription to Gen J. O. Martin, who has kindly agreed to receive contributions.

Thk Cotton Plasters. Wo notice that several meetings have been held in the principal er.tton region of (-rwirgie, at which the plaritars resolved to raise a mere nominal crop of cottony none exceeding a fourth of their usual breadth of land. The Milledgeville Recorder says that many large planters are acting upon tho scale of T. M. Furlow, Esq., the intelligent and patriotic Sena tor from Sunjter county, who declared his inten tion to plant about 1200 acres in corn, and' twenty acres in cotton this year ! The Recorder also states that Col. Lieonidas A. Jordan, of Baldwin who is, perhaps, the largest cotton planter in the State ,(his usual crop being about two thousand bales), will cover his several extensive plantation with grain crops, and such other articles of food as may be necessary to afford an abundant supply during the war. Dr. Jarrati also has instructed the overseer of his plantation in Sumter county not to plant any cotton whatever, but to .plant 1200 acrw in corn.potatoes.&c, to aid in supply ing provisions for the South during the war. Such patriotic examples deserve all praise, and we are glad to see the like spirit pervading all the culti vators of the soil throughout the Southern Con federacy. In a few weeks tbe Yankees will learn the terrible tidings that not a bale of cotton will be grown in J 862 to tempt their cupidity and re ward their search ! The fact will break them down. ... v Foreign Vkssels at " the Sovth of the' Rio Grande. The Galveston News,of the 15th' ult.,has private advices direct from Bcpwnsvillj, from which we learn that there are now 16 foreign vessels loaded with ' merchandize, con bigned to Matamoras, but none of them are al lowed by the Lincoln blockaders to enter or to discharge their cargoes, unless the foreign Con suls will give bonds that the goods shall not cross the river into Texas. .The Consuls are awaiting instructions from their respective Gov ernments. Resignation ot Rev. Dr. Hawks. Dr. Hawks, who, in consequence of. his secession pro-, clivities, fell into great disfavor with his conjgre gation, has resigned his pastoral charge over Calvary Church in New York. . All the generals of our army of the Mississippi are now at Corinth, including Beauregard, Sid-' ney Johnston, Bragg, Polk, Crittenden, Gladden, Buggies, Carroll, and Kirby Smith. Gen. Jack, son, of Georgia, is in command at Corinth. Tbe French Government owns three thousand hogsheads of tobacco in New Orleans. It "will be burned," says the Crescent, "er rolled into the Mississippi, before he (the Emperor) obtains pos session of it." ' Fort Macon and thk Nabhvlle. The "WiM mington Journal of the 3 1st nil. states, on the authority of the Rev. Mr. Martin, from Beaufort,4 that the Nashville did go out, and that Fort Macon has neither been blown up or evacuated, nor is it short of provisions or likely to be. Yankxk Tax on Tobacco. Remonstrances from Kentucky have been presented in the Fed eral Congress against "the proj-ct for" taxing leaf tobacco three centaja pound. The tax of Ken " tucky would be three millions, and that of Mary land a miriion and a half. . It ia said that some of tbe principal tobacco planters in Maryland hesitate to pitch a crop this season, from an' apprehension oi loss on account of this tax. jtjl' - f1"-- ' : From the Eichmond DispsAch; ifO STHE -PATBIOTlC-rTIIE VALUE OF ;itl,CHUECll ; BELLSs fLHZ fst; !3CWOrdnance Bureau of Jhe Confederate States eolits Che pse of 4uch bella as can be spared dor-' giwwr for the purpose of providing light rtlirj Jar the public defenoe.

FROM THE WEST. , The Savannah' Republizan published the fol lowing extract of a letter from an officer of our army in Tennessee : 'Since my last letter was written, I have been stationed at Eastport, Miss., in support of a river battery of twenty-four pounders. The ' gunboats of the enemy engaged us twice. By i moving the 'batteries, we unmasked upon him 1 twice, and forced him to retire to his reserve at Savannah. "We experienced no loss, the shells I flying wide of the mark. 'loday we march to join the grand army at Corinth. Our force there can be increased to La hundred thousand. . Gens. Johnston, Hardee. I Crittenden anl Breckinridge are all there with ! their commands. Gen. Pope "Walker's brigade, to which our regiment is attached, moves to j Corinth to-day, at twelve. "It is impossible to say what the event of the great battle will be. The enthusiasm of our U'riends is great, and I believe their success in evitable. "We must not lose tile day, or the worst is to be apprehended." PATRIOTIC EXIMPLE. j The congregation of the Second Baptist Church in this city have set an example that may chal lenge emulation, but for self-sacrificing patriotism icannot be excelled. They met not long since, and by unanimous vote gave their church bell to be cast into cannon to be used in the public defence. To show that this wbs was not an empty pro mise made for effect, they immediately had it ta ken down to be put to the use indicated. At the same meeting at which the resolution above stat ed was passed, it was determined to subscribe a Sum sufficient to purchase enough metal to add to that in the bell to form into a battery to be called the Second Baptist Church battery. Mr. John F. Tanner, an influential member of the church, 4nd largely engaged in the foundry business, pro mised on behalf of himself and associates that the battery should be ready at at an early day, and without cost to those who furnished the ma terials. The churches in New Orleans (a large proportion of them being Catholic) have, with tbe sanction of iheir Bishop, adopted the same course. Dispatch.' The late attempt of Captain John Morgan to capture a Federal General has been heard of at the North, snd the Louisville Journal 'makes the following allusion to the circumstance: I"It is said that an attempt was made near Le banon, Tennessee, a few days ago, by Morgan's cavalry, to capture General Buell and two or three members of his staff. The story goes that Gene ral Buell was on horseback, and as Ee approached a toll gate the keeper warned him of the" close proximity of tbe rebel cavalry. Subsequently the cavalry approached the gate, after Gen. Buell arid bis staff had retired, charged the keeper of the gate with disclosing their plans to General Buell, and then killed him." To this the Atlanta Confederacy adds : We are in possession of information that the Yankee General was invited by a Union man some distance from Nashville, to come out and dine with him ; that Morgan, by a contrivance of his own.whjph nobodyjelsecould have concoct ed; was made acquainted with the fact of the in. vitiation being extended, and ot his acceptance, and was, with his men, posted at a point where he would have bagged him and his staff, but for this gatekeeper, who knew Morgan, and proved to be a traitor to his country The swift judg ment visited upon him by Morgan for his treason was a righteous one. - ' Morgan is a trump. lie has a way of finding out things-which no one but himself, or one equal ly iertile in resources and schemes, could Invent. Ua knows all the movements of the Yankee Gen-' erals where they aleep at night, and where they intend to go next day. We doubt if tbe world contains his superior in this line. He is certainly the Marion of thia war. We fear he will be made a General of some of these days, and thereby, bis usefulness be put to an end. i "--is': i HOMICIDE.
