How THE THING woRKs.-In last weeks
paper we quoted portion of the address of
the "Whig State Central Committee of the
State of Ohio, in which the claims of General
Taylor are urged upon the Wing party of that
State, on the ground that he (Gen. Taylor
will not veto any Territorial or other bill con-
tanning the Wilmot Proviso. We then said
that on this ground were his claims urged by
the Northern Wing press. This week we
quote paragraph from the Cincinnati Chron-
icle, one of the leading Wing papers OF the
State of Ohio. 1t will be seen from this ex-
tract that the Ohio Wings, who are, to man,
either downright Abolitionists or Wilmot Pro-
visoists, are called upon to vote for Gen. Tay'
lor, expressly upon the ground of his " free
soil" principles, in preference to Gen'l Cass
who, they say, is pledged to veto the Wilmot
Proviso, should i come before him. Agar
we ask the sensible, honest Wings of North
Carolina, what they think of this little opera
tion' The following is the paragraph allu
ded to-
From the Cincinnati (Whig) Chronicle
Free Ierritory.-Gen. Taylor stands pledges
by his Signal and Allison Letters to let the voice
of the people have utterance and enactment, OF

never exist in the new territories belonging to thu
Union. not to forbid the declaration by the exeI

bG-Ihe Fayetteville Observer OF week be-
fore last says that &c there are two glazing err
rors which run through and disfgure the
whole of the column and a half of the Jour
nails attempt to define 'Gen'l Taylor's Posi-
ton"
We think the Observer has been peculiarly
unfortunate in pointing out these errors
"These Che errors) are, says the Observer,
Isl, hat Gen. Taylor" so the Journal says,
was infexible in his determination to run as
an independent candidate, no matter who
might receive the nomination of either the
Wing or the Democratic Convention" This
is the first error, as alleged by the Observer.
"Gen. Taylor" says the Observer, ''never
dent candidate, or a candidate at all. The peo-
pie, he said, had brought him forward as a
candidate, without any agency of his, and
when they manifested wish that he should
retire, he would most gladly do SOL!
| Now, in reply to all this, would take
the liberty OF again calling the Observers at
tention TO Gen. Taylor's Richmond letter, in
which the following unqualified sentence &C.

1t has not been my intention at any moment
to change my position, or to withdraw my name
from the canvass, whoever may be the nominee
Of the National Convention CT either the Wing or
Democratic party"
II this does not evince a disposition to run
at any rate, then we are no Judge of language.
The I'd error of the Observers finding out,
is that we say that Judge Sanders, Gen, Tay
lor's particular friend, was authorized by him
Gen. T.) to announce TO the Federal Conven-
ton that he would withdraw from the canvass
if he is not nominated The Observer says
that this is not so-that "Gen. Taylor did nc
such thing" Well, truly the Observer is be.
come quite a casuist Gen. Taylor says he
will not withdraw from the canvass, no mat
ter who is nominated, and then authorizes the
Louisiana delegation to withdraw his name il
they think proper. AS we said before, this i:
all stuff. Gen. Taylor says the people hat
put him in nomination, and they could do with
his name as they might see proper. Well, to b.
sure! we reckon they could and will But, DE-
pray, did Judge Sanders represent the variou.

Our yoLuNTEERs.-We have just seen c.
C. Battle, ESQ.,, of the NJ c. Volunteers, who
arrived here from New Orleans this (Thurs-
day) morning. From him we learn that the
following four Companies of the N. c. Regi-
ment, under the command of 1t Col. Fagg,
sailed from the Brazos on the 5th inst, for
Fortress Monroe, Va, viz: Company A, Cap
tain Buck; B. Capt Singleton; E, Capt Dug
gan, and G, Capt. Henry.
We also learn from Mr. Battle, that the re-
naming six Companies-C, Capt. Area; D.
Capt Constable; F, 1st It. Johnston; H. LIST
1t. Singeltary I, Capt. Kirkpatrick, and K,
Capt Upton, sailed from New Orleans on the
18th inst, in the schooner Yarmouth, for
Smithvlle, N. c., under the command of Col
Paine.
We are glad to learn from Mr.. Battle, that
the health of the Regiment is good-that there
is little or no sickness.
We may expect the six Companies that
sailed for SmithviIle in the course of a few
days.
P. S. In addition to the above, we find the
following in the Standard, of Wednesday
morning. We think Col Hamtramck must
be mistaken about the four Companies that
have sailed for Old Point Comfort, being re-
shipped to Smithville, to be discharged:
North Carolina Regiment.-Tt appears,
from the following extract from letter from
an esteemed friend at Goldsborough, under
date of the 14th instant, that the destination
of the North Carolina Regiment has been
changed, and that the men will be mustered
out of service at Smthvile, in this State:
81 have just had the pleasure Of few min
u:es conversation with Col. Hamtramck, and
learn from him that six companies of the NORTH
Carolina Regiment were left by him in New
Orleans, under orders for Smithvlle in this
State; and that four companies were at The
Brazos, expecting to sail soon for Old Poir
| Comfort. Orders to change the destination o.
this last detachment had been issued, but tht
Colonel thought would not be received in
time to prevent their being sent to Old Point
in which case they would be immediate|
sent back to Smithville, where the whol
Regiment would be assembled and mus
tered out of service. The Colonel cOult
not name the different companies, but Captain
Duggan's cd Edgecombe) and Capt. Single
toms (the Wayne Company he believes to
be at BraZos. The Colonel thinks the frs
detachment will arrive at Smithville about tn,
25th inst. The troops were in good health
and spirits, and the Col. gives them very
high character.'
If the first detachment of six Companies
which is expected at Smithvile by the 25tl
inst, should be detained until the balance O
the Regiment arrives, the probability now il
the first Of August.

reader will perceive, to letters from the Pres-
dents of the Petersburg & Richmond, and Will

who have kindly offered to transport the n.
C. Volunteers over their respective Roads at

notes of Mr.. Everitt, that when they were
written he was under the impression that all
the Volunteers would be discharged at Smith
vile, in our own State. From a paragraph
