a traitor, and to damn an woo nesuaiea aoou

A week or two ago !we expressed a disbelief of
tbe ruoKHV that Edward Stanly, of California,
had, been appointed y Lincoln Provisipnal Gov

disbelieving it. We have stnea ' peen a letter
which purports to have been written by 0606181

We confess that we fare surprised; at this, al-

Why was such a compound of imbecility and
cowardice, placed in command of such a ves
sel at such a. time 1 Tatnall's attempt to
casttne odium of the . loss of the vessel on

resulted in heaping more disgrace, if possi
ble, on himself, inasmuch as be'has tried to
make scapegoats of-innooent men for his own
oflence. The Pilots, - in a card which we
shall publish in our next issue, show that if
the Merrimac bad beenstationedin the mouth
of the James River, where there is plenty of
water, she would have protected both Nor
folk and Richmond, by keeping the Yankee
gunboats out of tbe Elizabeth and James
Rivers, -and might have easily been supplied
by tenders with provisions and coal. Instead
of that, she was taken first to Craney Island
(giving the Yankee vessels an opportunity
to slip up James River,) and afterwards to
Norfolk, whence she could only get out at
high water. The statement of the Pilots
shows conclusively that the loss of the Mer
rimao is attributable entirely to a panic on
the part of Commodore Tatnall. Will such
a man be retained in the service 1
MEETING OF TDIE "CONSEItVA
TIVESi" The Editor' of the Raleigh Standard is
untiring in his efforts to build up a party for
himself, at the expense of the peace and
safety of the State. He commenced opera
tions by procurinjg the call of oae or two
meetings in obscure portions of this County,'
which expressed their preference for Wm. A.
Graham as the candidate for the. office of
Governor, and in oase of his declining, (they
knew he would not consent to run, for he had
explicitly and publicly said so,) then their
next choice was declared to be W. W. Hol
den. The Editor of the Standard must
count largely on the credulity of the public
if he supposes that his game is not seen
throuph. These meetings are always to ex
press their preference for Graham, who they
know will not be a candidate, and next to
him, to declare Holden, who they know is
crazed by his desire to run, to be their next
choice. Holden never did desire Graham to
be a oandidate, and, in our opinion, always
knew that he would not consent to be a can
didate. Holden brought him forward sim
ply for the purpose of currying favor with
Graham's friends, and inducing them to fall
back upon him when Graham declined. We
shall see what the meeting on Saturday will
do. One thing is very sure, that if it does
not nominate W. W. Holden as a candidate
for the office of Governor, W. W. Holden
will be a bitterly disappointed man. As W.
W. Holden is determined that there shall
be a party contest in the Strte this year, we
t . Ml
nope tne meeting win nominate mm, as a
good lioking will be of service to him by
letting him know where his place is, and how
he is to keep it.
THE WEATHER.
For. a week past the Weather has been
unpleasantly oool as well as rainy. We fear
that rust will get into the wheat. The un
seasonable weather retards vegitation of all
kinds. But for the foliage one would almost
think that we were on theve of winter.

this gifted Alabamian (says the Atlanta Common

and given in his allegiance to the Lincoln Gov

. Infamous. A telegram from Corinth dated
May 2 1st says that a few days ago General Hal-
leck sent. two hundred Confederate prisoners,
having the small pox, to Fort PiUpw in exchange
for Federal prisoners sent from .Corinth on the
21st. General Villepeigue refused to , receive
them.
General Beauregard sent ' a letter to Halleck
charging him with had faith and inhumanity.
Halleck replied,' denying knowledge of the fact
that the men had the small pox.

Butler, the Knav. Among the first acts
of Gen. Butler to preserve the police of the city
of New Orleans, was to arrest Mayor Monroe
and all the Aldermen, of whom the oath of alle
giance to Lincoln was required.. They declining
to take the oath, were committed to prison, and
are now suffering for their patriotic firmness. So
we learn from an exchange.
24th Regiment. This regiment, the old 14th,

five o'clock, on the Jlechanicsville Turnpike, five
miles from the city, and lasted until half past six
o'clock The scene of action was upon the.
farm of Doctor Lumpkin and vicinity ; the
Federals having four pieces of artillery en
gaged, and the Confederates one belonging to
Captain Rosser's Battery. The enemy threw noth
ing but Shells, which fell thick andfast amidst the
woods and Over the fields,doing damage to nobody,
and injuring no other property than a chicken coop
on the premises of Dr. Lumpkin. Our men stopd
firmly at their post, and fired with rapidity and de
liberation. They were sustained by two regiment
of infantrv and one of cavalry, in reserve, neith-.
erof which were brought into action Towards,
tbe close of the engagement a regiment of Fed
eral cavalry appeared, dashing towards our bat-,
tery, but a. few" shells thrown into their midst re
versed theircourse, and they and their artillery
fled precipitately. Two of their men were found
dead upon the field. It is presumed that many
more were killed and carried away. Several
hours previously, the Hessians had made a dem
onstration several miles further up, and. fired at
least twenty shots at the house of Mrs. Price,,
without striking it. The limb of an oak tree ia
the yard was shattered by one of their balls. Oar
ga'.lant soldiers engaged in the skirmish which
succeeded deserve the highest praise, fighting as,
they did and-winning the day, against odds of
four to one. Richmond Enquirer.

ing on either aide to be paroled without further
conditions. ' It is proposed to exchange the pris
oners at City Point, or at any other place that
the Confederate States Government may desig
nate. It is supposed that there is a slight surplus
of prisoners still remaining on the side of the
North. There U no doubt but that the proposi

perfidy developed in tha arrangement, as was the
case in the negotiation with General Howell Cobb
some months ago. - 1

' THE WAR IN MISSOURI.
The Little Rock (Ark.) Democrat, of May
Sthays:
Persons direct from Missouri tell, us that the
war is raging fiercely in the southwestern por
tion of that State, and in Kansas. .' McBridc
fought the enemy for three days at Cassville, and
finally whipped them. This is something more
than a skirmish, as there were four o x five thou
sand of the enemy, and some twenty-five hundred
patriots engaged. The former were reinforced,
and this protracted the contest, but at lest they
ed. MRride took three or four hundred pris.
oners afita number of wagons, arnly stores, etc.
The battle, our informant says, began last Sunday
wfeek. The stirring event3 east of us have fixed
attention in that quarter, so that the important
scenes in Missouri are overlooked. Kansas City
was visited by patriots lately, and as the narrator
graphically expressed it, was "cleaned out." A
party of Stand Watie's men, eighteen in number,
made an attack upon four hundred Federals en
camped at the lead mines. This was a night at
tack, and the Federals flei as usual. The assail
ants gathered the wagons, some machinery anYl
other property, set them op fire and left btfere
their small numbers could be ascertained. Hard
ly a day passes in Missouri without a skirmish or
battle, and the Federals are leaving. This may be
one reason why they have come down into Arkansas.
JEFF. THOMPSON'S GUNBOAT FIGHT.
The Memphis Appeal of tufr 11th, contains the
following despatch from Jeff. Thompson, a good
thing in its way :
Fort Pillow, River defence Fleet, y
Gunboat "Little Rebel," May 10, 1862. '
Editors Appeal .--We Missourians concluded to
day to celebrate the anniversary of the Camp
Jackson massacre. We have shown the enemy
that we still own the Mississippi river, and can'
"run the blockade" whenever we choose.
We gave them a few butts this morning to'
show them our power, and after a handsome
little scrimmage of thirty minutes, we backed
down the river to our post, with two men killed
and eight slightly wounded. - -
The officers are all snfe, with more confidence
than ever, and our boats are uninjured. The
Van Dorn, Captain Fulkerson, has covered our
fleet with glory, and all, from Commodore Mont
gomery down to the powder boys, behaved like
soldiers and gentlemen, and proved themselves as
good men as ever feathered an oar around a quar
ter deck or butted a Yankee.
M.. JEFF. THOMPSON.
Orders were received from Gen. Beauregard
yesterday, says' the Macon Telegraph, to put. the
Northern prisoners at Camp Oglethorpe on
parole. As soon, therefore, as descriptive rolls
can be made out and they are sworn not to bear
arms in this war until regularly exchanged, they '
will be sent up to the Federal lines beyond Chat
tanooga, and there turned loose to seek their
homes.

CAPT. MORGAN'S EXPLOITS IN KEN
. TUCKY.
The Kn ox ville Register publishes the following
account of Colonel Morgan's recent successful ex
ploits in Kentucky : -
After the reverse at Lebanon, Col. Morgan,
with those of his party who escaped, went to Spar
ta, .and subsequently increased his foroe by the ad
dition cf Bledsoe's, McHenry's, and Hmilton's
cavalry companies. With these he proceeded by
a rapid march to Cave City, Ky., which is only
sixty- eight miles from Louisville, and six miles
from the Mammouth Cave. He reached Cave
City on Sunday, the 11th inst., captured tbe tele
graph operator, and very kindly officiated in his
stead, to spare the authorities along the line any
undue excitement, which the announcement of
his presence so near to Louisville might have oc
casioned on the Sabbath. He succeeded in cap
turing two trains from Louisville, one passenger
and one freight train. The latter bad one of the
finest engines in the country attached to it said
to have cost $40,000. This train consisted of
thirty eight empty box cars. Col. Morgan des
troyed the whole train and engine. On the pas
senger train he captured two Federal Major,
A T T7 1 1 At 1 . 1
uonee ana xioeiier, ana six, or seven omer prison'
ers, together with near $150,000 of U. S Treasu
ry notes, which were being transmitted by ex
preaS to lennessee, to pay on tne federal army
with. A party despatched to Woodland, 4 miles
above Cave Citv, destroved a considerable lot of
bacon belonging to Abe's government. One ob
ject of the daring scout wasdefeated by he escape
of a prisoner from Morgan s pickets, wh commu
nicated information of his movements to tbe tel
egraph operator at Bell's station, some miles this
side of (Jave Uity, by wnicn means the tram from
Nashville, having on board the prisoners of Mor
gan's party taken at Lebanon, was turned back
and thus the gallant Cokmel was disappointed in
liberating tnem.
From Cave City, Col. Morgan returned by way
of Burkeville, where he captured seven of. Wol
ford's cavalry, who were armed with Sharp's rifles
and revolvers thence by Livingston and White
riains to bparta. From bparta our last intelh
gence of the partisan Colonel is, that he was ma
king his way through the mountains to Chatta
nooga. Whether be will "turn up" next in
Northwestern Virginia or on the Ohio river, near
Jraducab, we have no intimation.
It was reported in Kentucky that Col. Wol
ford, whose cavalry fought Morgan at Lebanon,
was wounded in tbe bowels, supposed mortally.

FROM NEWBERN, N. C.
We publish in another column some important
news from Newbern, N C, which we copy from
the Wilmington Journal.
It will, be seen that the Journal says "the Pro
gress quotes with great joy and approval an arti
cle from the Raleigh Standard, against the Con
scription act, and against the call for arms, made
by Mai. AsCe.
It is much to be regretted that there are a few
men'in North Carolina actively engaged in giving,
on every favorable occasion, aid and comfort to
the enemy. Such men ought to be hung if'not
by' due course of law, by the wives and sons or
friends of those who are upon the tented . field
fighting the battles of their country.
Charlotte Bulletin.
IMPORTANT NAVAL NEWS.

Emily St. Pierre which was captured off this coast
some time ago by the blockading squadron, ro3e
upon and overcame the Yankee prize crew, du
ring the passage to New York, and conveyed the
vessel to Liverpool. Adams, the Yankee Minis
ter, bad, at last accounts, demanded from the
British Government the restoration of the Emily
St. Pietr, for adjudication in a Northern Prize
Court. We have also information that the pilot
boat John O. (Jalboun, lately known as the schr.
Mary Theresa, has been captured near this bar by
the Yankee Jilockaders. ,
The blockading squadron off Charleston bar yes
terday consisted of ten vessels. It u generally
stated that some boats from the Lincoln fleet were
sounding out Stono bar on Friday last-
