Woo IS GEN* PRICE, OF MIS SOURI? Prioe, the hero of the late battle of Lexington, Mo,, enjoys « large share of public attention. We gather from our ex? changes the following interesting particu lar* of his victory: General Prioe is by birth a Virginian —n native of Prinoe Edward county—and by oeeupation a tobacco planter, in Charl ton county, Mo. Ha. is about fifty years f>f •*«. over six feet in height, of ltrge Build, strikingly temperate, and exemplar ry in all the relations of li'e. Hie most distinguishing oharaoteristios are sound, nautious judgment, and energy io action, though neither a trimmer nor an intriguer, he has never been a candidate for political Station without obtaining it. In Mexico, is more recently in Missouri, be never •ommanded a battle that hd did not win, (n 1846 Sterling Prioe resigned bis seat as n representative from Missouri in tbe United States Congress to take command of a regiment of voluuteoys from that State ia the Mexican war. He greatly distin guished himself in the battle in New Mexi co and Chihuahua. When, in 1857, Congress determined to iqorease the regu lar army, with two new Brigadier-Gene rals, one of those appointments was offered Jefferson Davis, aad on his tjeolension, Was tendered to aod accepted by Col. Price, who served during the remainder of the war as General of the regular army,— Had he retained the position be would now be senior in rank to all the officers on the Southern side. Retiring, to private life at the close of the Mex:can war, lie took no prominent part in politics until 1852. In that year the B mton and ami-Benton wings of the Missouri Democracy united on him as their candidate for Governor, and he was vlected bj a triumphant majority. In his four years gubernatorial t run he distin gui.-bed himself for bps administrative abili ty, obtaining, by almost universal consent, the reputation of having been the best exe cutive Missodfi has ever bad At the dose of his gubernatorial teriq, in lfj56 JlO was a favour to of a large portim of the Democracy for a place in the United States Senate, but to prevent dissension in his party, he magnanimously yielded bis phims in f vor qf James S. Green, who yras. oor.aequcq'ly, elected. At the fcl' O'ifco prematumy ordered bv tbe M 8»ouri Legislature for a State Con tention in February last, and held under the almost annihilating influence of the Virginia aqd Teuoe-eae elections which )iad preceded it, Governor Pi.ce was phosen, without opposition, to represent district in that body, and,; by like unanimity, was selected to preside over it Hi* post ion. as shown by the votes in the . Cooven Jon in March last, was that a 1 honorable, peso -fill efforts shnn'd be used to bring the Gaff States aha^k into thi 1 late L'nfon, bqr, that on the fa Jure o' these efforts, the interests, sympathies, and tpatmiy OF TffBsbnrtTtemaudcJ fbonli join her Sduthern sisters. Qo the 10th of May last thebiutal oon 4upt of Lyon and bis Hessians, at the cap ture of, Camp Jackspn, pear S'. L'mis. initialed the war now going op between the SU'O authoriii :s of Missouri and the fjinoolni’es. Governor Price immedhtely repaired to the Capital of the State, and on the 12<h accepted from Governor Jack aon the oommand-fn-chief of the Mi-souri faroee. The organisation o' to0 M'-i-our militia not having provided for any rmk higher fhan that Brigadier, the L ge sture passed an act creating one . ffice of Major-Gsueraf to command the wh de uiilitia in time of war, god it was at opoe Conferred upon Governor Price With bis military c ireer since that period the pqblio is iamiliar. SOMETill^G IS WBONG. Last we?k a party of some sixty persons Wore arrested in the lower part of this and Beaufort oounties, charged with treasona ble tots, or language derogatory to the public weal and brought to Col. Singelta fj’s head quarters, whereupon he institu ted an examination resulting in the con finement of eight for a future hearing, fifteen or twenty were compromised with Sr enlisting and entering the service and e balance wwe released. Whero the eight are we have not been informed, but hope the Col. took precaution to put them to work on fortifications or some other pub lie work. - Yesterday morning, news reached here by the train frog; Beaufort that a party of fifteen fishermen had been arrested oo the Baqks dear Bogue Sound by Ool. McLean •nd others of Swangboro under very sus picions circumstances. It seems that the Linooln blockaders, about ff/ty in number Uiidei on Sunday last at Bogue Inl«t and bad an ioteryiew with the fishermen on the banka This fad coming to the knowledge • of Ool. McLean end others they want over ■to look into the matter, when they found the fishermen armed with dangerous weapons and having in their possession some too or a dozen handcuffs, w hereupon they immediately put them under arrest and ‘ carried them to Fort Macon to have an investigatipn. The fishermen, of course, pleaded not guilty, alleging that they were yisited by the Yankees without solicitation Qn their part, and that when the Yankee boat was near the shore it oapsized and the e weapons and hand ouffs were lost overboard, also that three or four of the orew were drowned, and that after they store gone they fi-hed the impletnen.s out pf the water.—Newbetn Progress. Shoes for the Army.-—We learn at the «passport Office that an enormous quantity f shoes, gratuitously contributed' to our anoy by tbe patriotic people of all sections of the Confederacy, are now oo their way 4 hither. One eff.ot of these liberal oontrib ** wtious of army supplies^ will be, it is hoped, to lessen materially the sbam'ful specula flbnt now being mads in ah es and clothing. —Enqu%r*r. * —’ THE MAN FOR THE TIMES. General Prioe's report gives the particu lars of bisgreat achievement, and shows wbat brave and determined men can ac complish . He did not square his actions by mathematios, and, considering the na ture of his troops, be acted wisely in so do ing. In faot, he looks like “ the coming man.” He is the only one of our Generals who appears to have fully appreciated the character of our volunteer force, and to have given to that f< iee room for the dig play of i s dash and daring. The worlJ has never seen suoh materials as enter into the composition of our southern armies. Almost without an exception, the men are good horsemen and skilled in the use of arms. These essential qualities ,for good soldiers they acquired in boyhood. They have to l-e acquired by Yankees and regu lars after they enlist, and they are always of difficult aepuisition by ntpn than by boys. The courage of our volunteers will com pare favorably with that of any people. They have rushed to arms to vindicate theii rights and to maintain the great cause of freedom. Their highest ambition is to meet t ie enemy. Action—action — action is that For which they pant—and is that alone which can satisfy the oravings of their impetuous beasts. The sluggish ness of camps is fatal to their spirits and their health. They droop' and pine under its baneful influence. We suspect camp I fevers have cost our armies more lives than they would have lost in a triumphal march to the batiks of the Ddawarao and Hudson. All the accounts ftom ajl our canjps tell the same title of tbo depression and despondency which inaction has en gendered among the uolunteers, If that inaction has prooeeded from an idea that Southern men have to undergo the same ludimcntary process to which old Scott had to subjugate his vulgar Yankees —learn them to load a pun and ride a horse—it was holy unnecessary. If it were dictated by considerations of strategy and an idea that our eau-e was best sub served by a defeasive policy, wo ooDftsa our inability to apprtciijte it. It h»9 long been our conviction that in aggres im was our only safety, With the enemy matter.-* at sea, wo cannot possibly obtain an hon orable and lasting peace, without dicta ting it iu Philadelphia or New Ynrk. If this be beyond our power, wo must resign ourselves to the g'oomy alternative of an eo 'less and inglorious wir. G moral Price, by a ju t appreciation ef our vol iuteers, an 1 by showing them the game, has prov ed what they can do, and has R-t an exam ple worthy of universal iu.itati n.—Rich Whig. -——— A SIGNIFICANT ADMISSION. The Jlerald makes the following irre pressible tSj^ssion id regard to the pover ty of the recruiting business, hut lays the aocount at the door of the Abolitionists:— It says : It is painful to perceive to what extent in the vi'lsges and interior towns in New York, New England, and the West, the reoruiting offices of the Federal army have hftcnmc fnrsalr in jp consequence of the in- . trigoos and machinationsot' Secretion sym patbisers and Aboli i>n malcontents. In larger cities like his n> tropoiis, Boston and Philadelphia their rffirts are neutral ized ; but, in porti >os of the North, where the poison can bo sown with less observa tion au incalculable amount of harm is b ing done to which it behooves the Gov ernment to pay inmodvito att n inn. The leaders of the ,political in r'gue, carried on ia the name of the old Demo cratic paity, do nut hesitate to avow their intention of so feting, that they may be aide to lay claim to Southern gratitude whenever the war is ended. The aewsai icr associate* of the Tribune, on the con trary, hope to turn the hostil ties that have commenced into a #ar for n >gro emanci pation, and, on the broad ground of nig ger-worshipping a boll ti in, to ovigthr'W and supplant Mr. Linooln and his A nn in is>ration. Meanwhile, they strive to ren der Lira obnoxious, an l to frustrate the completion of Ids v eil-laid,patriotic schemes for the restoration of the integrity of the republic. “ON TO* RICHMOND. The Richmond correspondent of the Charleston Courier in his letter of the 3rd, gives us the following as the probably plan of the Federalists to reach Richmond: It is the opinion among some of the offi cers belonging to Wise’s suite, that the enemy design a grand demonstration a gajnst Riohmond by the way of North Carolina. McClellan is busily engaged in fortifying Washington for ttie winter, and does not propose to co ne out of his entrench ments at present. In the meantime, Sooth or some other experienced General is to land on the coast of North Caro ioa with 100,000 men, and roaroh on Petersburg Thia will foroa Johnson, Smith and Beau regard to adandon the Potomac for the de fence of Richmond, and thus Washington \ will be relieved. If McClellan is disposed he can then march out and attack Richr. mood on the North, and also occupy the valley of the Shenandoah. If Roaeucrant* succeeds in dereati'g Lee and ocoupying the Virginia and Tipoessee Rati, Road, Richmond and our armies being cutoff from the riat of the South fig all aides, of course they must fall into the hands of the Linconites. This—argue the officers in question—is evidently the plap of the Fed eral Generals and; it explain? what the Northern papers mpao when they say Rich mond s to be reaeh dby aBothcr route It explains the asoret preparations goiog on at the Npr,h since the battle of Manassas, and it explains the apparent unwillingness of McClel'an to riak another engagement “just now. on the banks of the Potomao.— Thero may possibly be some, value in thesi conjpotuies. I give them to yourfor what they aye worth. —* • — A Mr. Dsno:, of Texa?, has made qui nine from a tree common to our Southern forests. The Houston (Texas) Telegraph thinks it is m^e from the pnckly ash.— In'its taste it hl^theTSlwie long, lingering, bitter sensation that quinine leaves. -i THE STAY LAW. We learn from the Greensbo rough Pa trit, that at the session of the Superior Court for Davidson county. Judge Bailey, presiding, the Judge on Tuesday morning announced that he should take up the civil docket as usual, without any regard to the stay law, agd that unless defendants had some good cause of continuance, they would be* required to try their oases, the stay law notwithstanding^ Defendants on this circuit will therefore do well to take notice of 'his, and be. ready fur trial. We learn that Judge Howard also holds the same views in regard to the Stay Law, and perhaps Judge Osborne. Judge Saunders, and other of the Judges, in def erence to the slay law have not taken up tbe civil dooket. The question as to the constitutionality of the law will, of oourse, come up at the fiist term of the Supremo Court; but we doubt very rauoh the propriety of Judges taking the liberty of setting aside any act of a lawful Legislative body. While wo oaunot advocate the present Stay Law ; yet, wo bclive, more barm will be done to the people by this conSiouon of the ‘‘pow ers that be*’ than tbe simple execution, for a limited time, ot any law now in force. We do not believe a Judge (outside of tbe session of the Supreme Court) has any right to disregard an aot of the Leg sta ture thetj the humblest oitisen of the State ; nor do we believe the Clerks, Sheriffa. <feo., will issue or execute writs, (while the penalties of the law stand u'lrepcaled,) upon tbe simple command of a Judge. It were better for the country if wo hjive neither. Legislatures, Judges our Courts, if eaob is to act regardless of the other.— ffreenaborro Timts. A NEW FEATURE OF THE WAR. * ■ ' We are credibly inferred that an ex amination of the trunks, <$3 , of the In diana regiment, recently captured at Chie amaoomac, brought a large number of ctunterfeifc notes on the bank of Camden, S. 0 , to light; These were printed from genuine plates, and are of the denomination of 5’s, 10’e and 20*s. Some are aiguod ( orgfd ol course) and others are not. , This revelation of vi lain? develops a new feature of the war, which there is muoh reason to bi Have was designed to b ; genera!. Most, if not all, of our bank notes have< heretofore'heen printed at the North, and the plates are yet in their possession.— From these plates numerous no'es are to be printed and falsely signed, and are to be circulated among our people wherever the vandds o>q get a foothold. If thia is not the height and de pth of vil lainy, we are at a loss to oonjec are what is; and if it dors not fully develope tbe oharaet r of our foe to be that of a degrad ed and vicions people ready for tho com mission of the lowest and darkest dpeda of vice, wo do not know what is nooessary to do so.

They came u in a stearn bpat, apd a pQ tion, of them effected a laudiog, but they found to their nost that a Lree had gathered there to give them a welcome. Capt.
