.Here it wa ho seen that no. longer ago-
than 1859, the B0w;.entsi; ingenuous and

who now eulogizes bim, to the reprobation of
the people of this; State, as the friend and
co-labourer of the Blaok Republicans Did
Mr. Holden believe ! what he said about the
now "genial, estimable and. ingenuous" Mr.
Vance in 1859. or did be, as in" the case of
i '
Governor Graham, libel Mr. Vance for par
ty purposes V An early answer is expected.
In 1859, when the Standard was charging
infidelity to the South upon Mr. Vance, we
regarded him as a "genial, estimable and in
genuous man' who was as true to the South
as any of her sons, ajid nbw,rin 1862, we do
not hesitate to say that Our opinion of Mr.
Vanoe is unohanged. j ' But while we say this,
we must be allowed to say that we have seen
nothing in Mr. Vance's civil career to prove
him a Statesman, and nothing in his military
life to prove tht he is a Hero ? As a- Poli
itieian, Mr. Vance was for but a brief period
a public man. Mr. Vance, it would be idle
to deny, is a man of talents, and, with age,
study, and experience, might possibly have
placed himself in the rank of statesmen, a
class by no means numerous, and a class as
different from that of: tho mere politician as
the diamond is from the paste that is made
to imitate it. But does it not occur to Mr.
Vance to inquire, "YYh'y is it that Mr. Hol
den calls me a "statesman" now, when three
years ago he did his best to drive xno from
the councils of the nation, as one utterly un
fit to represent a North Carolina constituency
in the Congress of the then United States
Ask yourself this question, Mr. Vance, and
if your own good sense does not prompt you
to turn with disgust from the slimy, creeping,
time-serving man who is trying, for bis own
purposes, to use you, then you are not the
man we took you to be,
As to Mr. Vance's military career, we
have seen nothing in it to except to or cavil
at. He, wo know, is a brave and intelligent
man, and with these two qualities will make
a good soldier and officer. But as up to this
time his services in the field have been dis
tinguished by no one thing to mark him as a
"hero" of a scout, picket fight, or skirmish .
enven, much less a battle, to call him a "he
ro" is simply to make him ridiculous, and
shock his own good taste.
In conclusion, we repeat the expression of
our surprise and 'regret that a man like Mr.
Vance, who so well knows tha't the Editor of
the Raleigh Standard lis a self-convicted li
beller and stabber of character, should per
mit himself to be used by him for his own
miserable purposes. j
THE STALLFEDERATE PARTY.
"Conservative" Holden, with a degree of
attic wit rarely equalled and never surpassed,
has given to the Confederate party of North
Carolina the soubriquet of the "Stallfed
rates" the party that: has been stall-fed and
fattened on the loaves land fishes of office.
When we look at the history of "Conserva
tive" Holden, we must all agree that it well
becomes him to taunt other folks with being
stall-fed on the public corn. A man who
has only received the trifling sum of some
Fifty Thousand Dollars of Public Money
in ten years' time, has a right to complain of
and sneer at stall-fed people. Yes, it was
only some Fifty Thousand of publie money
that "Conservative" Holdeo has pocketed in
ten years, and if any ope asserts to the con
trary, we stand ready with the truth to sub-,
stantiate what we say. j
DEATH OF CAPT. VM. B. GULLfcY.
Since the issue of our last paper we have
received the melancholy intelligence of the
death of Captain William B. Gulley, of the
Clayton (Johnston County) Yellow Jackets.
He fell on Tuesday, tie 1st instant, while
gallantly fighting at the head of his Compa
ny, in" the desperate charge of Ransom's
brigade against the Yankees. Capt. Gully
fell immediately on receiving the fatal wound,
and lived long enough 'only to breathe out
an invocation to his gallant men to "fight on."
Capt. G. was by trade a printer, was for some
years employed in thisj office, and left it to
join the army, going in as First Lieutenant
of the Clayton Yellow i Jackets, and being
promoted' to the Captaincy of the Company
upon its re-organization at the end of the
twelve months for which it had first enlisted.
T&e printers of the South have done their
full duty in this war, and have shown that
their "shooting-sticks" j are not the only
shooting implements which, they oan handle.
j Capt. G nlley's remains were brought home
on Friday by his brother, Sergeant John V.
Golley, and were interred on Saturday with
military. honors.- I

GROSSLY UNTRUE. f
A writer in the last Raleigh Standard,
under the signature of "Aminadab," speak
of Col. Wm. Johnston, of the County oi
Mecklenburg, as "Col. Johnston, of South
Carolina." This writer knew very well whej
he wrote the words we have quoted that Coll
Johnston, the Confederate candidate for tko
office. of Governor, is' a native and resident
of North Carolina. - l
We freely forgive "Aminadab" for hfi
sneer at the "Virginian." His reminisoencel
of "Virginia" are naturally not of the moa
pleasant description, for, if we mistake not,
a portion of the term of tis sojourn in that!
State last summer was spent in the Guard
House.

A PROPER RETALIATION
- The following letter from Gen. Hindman to

in the proper spirit :
Headquarters Trans-Mississippi Dist., i
' . Little Rock, Ark., June 8, 1862.
General: I have received information " that
you have in prison at Batesville certain citizens
of Iz.ird county, Arkansas, captured a few days
tfnea by a detachment of cavalry, who are charged
with firinguoon your men, while attempting to ar
rest them.and whomitis your intenlion to hang as
'outlaws. Without stopping to inouire whether
ihpy did actually fire upon j-our soldiers or not, I
assort ;t to bo.the duly,hb well as the riht,of every
so'dier of this disriot to fire upon the soldiers of
the United States Government, so long as that
govecomeut persists in the invasion of their homes,
and they have the arms to defend thote homes
wtth; and in the per tor mance of that duty, I shall
sustain them at every hazard.
I have in custody several officers and soldiers of
Che army of your government, and I write ibis to
warn you that if your threat is carried into erecu-
tion against one single citizen of this district, who
now is, or may tall intoyourhands, I shall avenge
his death by hanging every Federal officer and
soldier wbom I now hord as prisoners of war: and
r l l . . t r l.i- i 1
icom luai uma lorwaru inis oecomes a war of ex
termination between us. .Neither asking nor
granting quarter. I BhilHput to death "without
.mercy every soldier and citizen of the United
States who falls into my'hands.
I am further informed that, in a ruhlishpH nr.
."der, you have already declared this to be a war of
extermination, and that you expect to wage it as
such. I request, sir, that you specifically advise
me as to the truth of such information, and if
compatible with your duty, furnisa me with a
copy of the order in question. If such proves to
have been your declaration, however, you can
consider this as an acceptance of the issue tendered '
and we will ignore all recognized rules of civilized'
warfare and make our campaign one of savage
cruelty and unsparing butchery.
4 HPingi General, that there is some mistake in
this matter, and that the rules ot civilized war
fare will Continue to influence us both, in conduct

POSITION OT THE INKMY ON THTIRSDA.T,
A member pf Stuart's Cavalry,who left the scone
of operations on Thursday afternoon, informs, us'
that tbe mass of the diminished army was then at
"Westover, o the north side of James river, some
thirteen miles below City Point. McClellan's
headquarters were at . Berkeley.- There were
none of the enemv at Shirley. Our informant
ascended a bluff, and saw twenty-five Federal
transports, end on Wednesday another gentleman
counted 150, all heading up the river.
' The Jeff. Davis Legion (Col. Martin) took 150
prisoners on Wednesday evening, one man alone
capturing lo. , -
thk'latkst. ,
It was reported'bj' a gentleman who came up
last night, that about 100 vessels were near Berke-r
ley, and that a large 'force of the Federals wael
gas hered there.
It was rumored last night that the Confederate
gunboat Teazer, while on a reconnoissanca down
the river, was captured by one of the enemy's ships,
The Teazer was originally a tugboat and carries
two guns.
GEN. GRIFFITH, OS" MISSISSIPPI.
This gallant officer, whose death has heretofore
been announced, was near the enemy's fortifica
tions on the north side of the York liiver Bail-'
road, about half-past 11 o'clock on Sunday, when
a fragment of a shell thrown at our locomotive
battery struck hicu absve the right knee, ranging
upwards, and almo3t destroying his thigh. Not-.
withstanding the fearful nature of his injuries, he
lived for several hours after the occurrence, and
expired at a private residence in this city.
DESTRUCTION .OF TANK EE STORES.
We hear that the destruction oi stores,,, near
WestjPoiut, by the enemy, surpasses in extent
that of any other locality on the lines below Bich
mondi They were piled up in layers, with pine
timber between, to the height osome thirty feet,
and covering a space a quarter of a mile in length.
The torch was then applied, and everything com
pletely destroyed. Wagons were broken up so as
to ren.ler them usolesF, and out of this immense
mass uf army supplied, iiolhing (of value can be
saved. From other points, however, between the
Pamunkey river , and Richmond, a Considerable
amount has been received, and more is daily ar
riving. Up to"yesterday morning twelve thousand
stand of arms and several flue ride cannon had
been brought to the Government Arsenal, and a
long train of wagons, heavily 3oaded, arrived late
in tho afternoon.
A. valuable locomotiye, left by the Yankees
near the Chickahominy river, reached this city
last evening, in a somewhat damaged condition.
The train brought up-at the same time a large lot
of arhmunition, which the enemy attempted to
destroy before leaving, but failed in their pur-

CAPTUKK OF YANKEE BARBARIANS.
Four Yankees captured a Confederate soldier
on Thursday and deliberate hanged him to a tree,
having pinned upon bi3 back a card inscribed,
' We hang all the rebels we catch." The miscre
ants were immediately afterward captured by a
squad of oOr cavalry, and were yesterday brought
to the city in company with a nero owned by
Capt. White: Wo are surprised that eummary
punishment was not inflicted upon them on the
spot.
THE NEW YORK SEVENTH. '
In the first visit of the New York Seventh Reg
iment to Virginia they were feted and treated
with the hospitality characteristic of Virginia.
They came then as an escort to the remains of an
honored son of the Old Dominion and a former
beloved Chief Magistrate of the United States.
On their second visit, being united with thieves
and vagabonds in a marauding' and plundering
expedition against their hoss, they were also ap
propriately .received. It is said, and we have no
reason to doubt the fact, that on going, over the
battle-field after the contest three days since be
low this city, 300 members of the famous "New
York Seventh" were fQu n d hors de combat. It
was just retribution for ingratitude on their part
blacker specimens pf which have raroly been ex
hibited. PROGRESS OF THE FIGHT,
Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock the Yankee
army was at and near Westover on James River
about twenty-eight miles by land from this city'
Our van was within striking distance and actively
&&.UB fcUC ier aaunans:. 'mere bad
been no battle up to that time, nor did it feem to
be anticipated that there would be during the
day. The impression prevails that a Considera
portion of McClellan's troops had got aboard the
vessels m the river. The remainder exhibit ev
idences of serious disorganization. Many of them
must ultimately surrender or be destroyed.
Stuart, with his cavalry, was very busy capturing
straggling Yankees and tbe cattlej intended for
their subsistence, with a decided preference for
the latter, . 4.
There was no fighting day befote yesterday.
Yankee officers, now prisoners itt this city, Btate
that McClellan's army, when tbefight began
numbered one hundred and fifty thousand. '
-Richmond Whig of Saturday.
Wo take the following items from the Rich
mond Dispatch of Tuesday :
The Yankee Prisoners at present in confine
ment here were officially informed yesterday,' by
order of General Winder, that it was a criminal
offence to attempt to circulate the bogus Onfed
urate Treasury Notes obtained by them in Phila
delphia. Tney were required to surrender tbe
stuff. Twelve hundred dollars', was obtained
rrom tbe men In lobby's warehouse. Permis ion
was accorded the Yankees officers awi soldiers to
buy the city papers. -
Col. LAMABJ-In our report of the engige-"
mentof Gen. Magruder on So nday afternoon, as
published yesterday, ? wecoticed . the teapture of
amV of Georgia, after receiving a severe
w6und.r We are gratified to be able to state Mat
the gallant Colonel was yesterday recaptured ac$
bronght to this city. ,In addition, some two hna
dred Yankees were taken at the same point."
