were two to one in numbers, and tome of

What is there, then, fn irginia better than
in North Caroliua ! A large portkm of North

any party should tbinic of the spoila, or hon
ors of the office or place, or ahouU "care a
bit" for tlie disgrace of beras; denounced or
excJnded as unwortny of trnst; yet demands
and receives for her own ciUaens almost as
many of these, asis yielded to the whole
South besides.'1. She pvts her skeleton regi
ments, full officered, upon the publie pay, aod
boasts of her disinterestedness. She claims
Richmond as the vitals of the Confederacy,
as if the 8outh eoukl not -hreatbe without,
when, creth to say, abe can scarcely breathe
with Castle Thunder, and souid not think
withoiuthe bmnaof iJbe
so stolid as to boast that its master, the Pre
SMkot, dots cot remember almost the only
thing he ever knew the existence of party.
She unpodently rebukes North Carolina with
iv whose territory,' raked by- tle fine-tooth-comb,
of Richmond detectives, pot Vsitor
can be found, for her want of devotion to the
common cease, when Virginia herself has
yielded almost u much strength to the North
as to the South. - la 'what, then, is Virginia
superior to North Carohua J IVerfly, m no
thing except in vanitv, vice and Vermin !
Let the pn in VTrgioia" devote itself to
Qie 'preservation of" her own 'morals J" and
when it can present Virginia, not as a virgin
nndefiled, for that were impossible, but as a
woman reformed, and orth Carolina should

There is not a fortification deserving the name
in ber wlwle land. . Few troopshave been al
lowed her, and they have been commanded
by officers who would not be trusted with
forces elsewhere. In almost every conflict
with the enemy in ner borders, there has
been just enough of resistance to enable him
to boast a victory, and to make ber feel the
degradation of defeat. What the enemy has
W-ft of her wealth has been ordered to be de
stroyed by her friends; and she has no voice

may be, and, truthjo say, I believe It win be
concluded to be well enough to let her suSor

Why do other 8utes want State reserves?
Why not turn them over to the Confederacy?
Is it answered, because tlie Confederscy does
(want them? If the Confederacy does not
want them, it meet be because the Confed
eracy already has enough to defend the whole
8outh, and every part of iti If she-has enough,
then, teQ me, why has North- Caroline been
