On tomorrow Thursday the people of North
Carolina will choose Governor, members of the
Legislature and sherifs. The present number of
the Standard cannot reach many of our subscribers
before the election; but we appeal to all Democrats
to go to the polls and do their duty. Go early
work hard and late, and victory will again crown
our efforts. Our opponents are working with zeal
worthy of better cause. Wings, friends of Uni
ted States Bank and high tariff; Know-Nothings,
opposed to Catholics and foreigners; Noparty par
t. in favor of distribution oppostionsts with the
one idea of ad 1aLOreu. Such are few of the
many names they have assumed and the principles
they have avowed. If for nothing else, let beat
them again just to see what new name and measure
their ingenuity will next devise.
To the polls, then, and to victory.

Black ReDublic,ns IN VIRGINIA.

Considerable excitement has been. produced in
Virginia BY the fact that about sixty men, in the
village of 0coquan, Prince William county, on the
4th Of July last erected Lincoln and Hanlin pole
with flag attached Captain George Potter, "a
captain of mlitia,) wrote to the Adjutant General
stating that the sixty men were armed with mus
kets belonging the State which they procured in
the village, the said muskets having formerly been
furnished to a volunteer company there, which conf
pany has been disbanded. The speakers on the
occasion of raising the pole, were one John Under
wood and one Vim. Athey. Capt. Potter intimates
that he would like to lead attacking party to de-
molish the pole and flag. The Adjutant General
replies that if the people there tolerate such conduct
the Governor has no official control over it, but he
directs the to be collected and returned to the
armory at Richmond
VIM. Athey also writes to the Governor for pro-
lection stating that mob of 800 was threatening an
assault. The Governor, through the Adjutant Gen.
eral thus instructs the attorney of the Common
wealth:
ADJUTAxT GENERALS OFFICE,
July "a, 1860. ( -
1.-The Governor desires that you, as the Attorney
of the Commonwealth for said county, ascertain
promptly whether the laws can be maintained and
the public peace preserved by the civil authority
and if not then he directs that you, as Brigadier
General, call out military force sufficient for that
purpose. Information has been received here that
on the 4th inst, there celebration by party
of black Republicans at 0coquan, who had taken
possession of number Of public arms and used
them at their celebration Orders were issued yes
terday to Col. Brawner, of the Thirty sixth Regi-
ment, in reference to these arms, which you will
cause to be fully executed, if the facts have been
correctly reported.
By command:
WN H. RICHARDSON, Adj. Genl"
The Fairfax Neus of the 9th, says:
IAN appeal from Prince William for recruits TO
assist in taking down the black Republican flag
raised in Ocoquan by the somewhat notorious Jno.
Underwood and his cOntreres sent to this place
on Wednesday last. A meeting will be held at
Brcntsville to-day friday for the purpose of organ
izing a company to proceed thence to Ocoquan and
haul down the obnoxious flag raised by a set Of
reasonable fanatics"
P. S. The pole has been demolished" without
bloodshed.

ter speech, the leading idea of which it embodes,

% this difference Is accounted for in the con-
sumption OF beef, pork, garden vegetables SC.
not put down IN the column of expenses, not
being paid out, but counted in as resources of
farm and garden in order 10 ascertain what the
property has been paying as q separate and
distinct property from the Poor House. THIS
difference added 10 the cost of each Pauper per
head as above, makes the average cost OF each
one per week, for the ten last years, Sl.7l ;
this concluded all expenses of Poor House EN-
bracing Stewards salary, his family, Physicians s
salary, Dire cloTs, Clerks, SC. From thorough
and rigid investigation of every Trcasurer's anc
Stewards report, which involved an examina-
ton of every single item in each one for ten
years, nothing was detected but fair and full
statement of income and OUTLAY. Some bulls
were allowed occasionally which looked ex-
without checks bel ng granted by the Directors.
There is some room for economizing but the
secret OF SO much tax and expense, is the un-
agoidable cost of very large family of say go
people tincluding Steward and family to De fed
and clothed all the time following in its train,
Physicians bills, medicines, burial expenses,
Clerks, Directors, Justices making out war
rants, constabIe's fees in bringing paupers &c.
sc. These latter things make rpa large bill
o! items each year, which are not seen, but
felt. IT,
The mill and farm taken together exhibit
an astonishing result. No real estate property
in the county pays like it. The mill is source
of steady increase, yielding as much as most
farms alone, after paying all its,expenses, whist
the farm and ga rdens, are still more interesting
in their results.
ltis not gram growing farm but with a
large meadow, and its yield of corn, with work
done principally by the Steward and paupers,
the net increase is large, and the garden still
larger From $500 to 5000 heacs Of cabbage,
2 & 300 doz. cucunbers are the annual weld
of the garden, including beets, parsnlps, beans
SC, IN proportion. The best thing about il, is,
the 0ork COSTS nothing, or very little. 1t is a
kind of work, paupers can and will do.
The above table is as near correct as it could
be made from the reports. From the mired
manner IN which some are made out, il ia i'm
possible 10 get items separated so as to get
them exactly under the proper head. II IS
