The North Carolina Banks.

The Bank of North Carolina at Raleigh and
all its branches have suspended specie pay
ment the Cape Fear Bank and branches have
done the same, and it is but reasonable to sup
pose that all the other BANKS in the State have
suspended will suspend in very few days.
This is done by the banks for their own pro-
lection, and we atlvise those who hold bills on
any of our North Carolina Banks not to part
with them at discount, as it is not probable
that there is a bank in the State which is not
able to redeem all its issue. 1t will be recol-
lected that the same thing occurred in 1857
probably not quite as bad-and still bill hold
ers lost nothing, nor is it likely they will lose
anything now. We therefore advise our friends,
especially those in the country who will hear
all kinds of exaggerated reports, not to submit
to be shared. on any bills they may hold on
banks in the State We think they are all
good.

A Suggestion.

Believing that it is the duty of every COM
munity to speak out and let their sentiments
be known in the present excited state of public
affairs, we would suggest to our citizens that
they consider the propriety of holding public
meeting at the Court House in Newbern, at an
early day. to give expression to the sentiments
of the people of Craven relative to the present
alarming condition of our national affairs
Nearly every citizen who we have approached
agrees with us as to the necessity for such a
course, and as public journalist we are only
discharging our duty to the public by calling
attention to the matter.
Let the meeting be held and let every citi-
zen, regardless of former party prejudices or
associations, attend it and give utterance to his
own views.

Dear Progress Noah Turnage famiarly
known for many years in this community as
Scute Turnage a very quiet ard inotfensivc
young man, was most brutally murdered in
this place on last Saturday night, by William
Sauls, notorious trifling and troublesome
young man from the country. Sauls has been
arrested and committed to Jail. The facts as
far as | have heard them, are as follows -
Sauls had been playing ten-pins the greater
part of the day in alley kept by Turnage, and
having failed to pay for the games he had lost
during the day, Turnage requested person
who had been challenged for game by Sauls
at night, not to play with him, alledging as
reason, the fact just stated. Whereupon,
Sauls picked up large ball, and without utter
ing word brought it down with the force OF
both hands, upon the head of Turnage.-
SauIs then drew his knife, and would have dis
patched his victim Immediately, but for the
interposition of persons who were present
Turnage died the following morning.
The Masonic burial services in honor of the
memory of Mr.. John NJ. Thompson, who died

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE-ToO LATE
We see it stated in the papers, that. bv tho

meet in January, Virginia will propose meet
ing OF the Southern States in conference This

been adopted, an Abolitionisf would not in all
probability, have been elected President of the
United States. and the sectionalism of the
North might have been ALARMED 1t was an
exceedingly conservative proposition which
Virginia was unable to appreciate. The times
have now passed beyond it. Virginia NAV now
call, but the South will not answer. She ia
completely demoralized in the estimation of tho
South; and no Southern State, intent on vim
dicating her rights and preserving her institu-
tons, would go into conference with her
She has placed the Union above the rights and
institutions of the South, and will oniy seek =,
conference with the Southern States. in order
to bring them down to the level of her fatal
Union policy. Virginia and the other frontier
States may as well at once understand their
position with the cotton States. They are not
expected to aid the cotton States in PROTECTING
themselves and redeeming their liberties o
They will practically aid the Northern States
in attempting to obtain in the South an acoui
escence IN the rule of Abolitionists at Washing
ton. The Southern States however. will dis
regard their counsels. They want no con fer
ence but IN the Contention aohich aoiU assemble
to frame the Constitution, and complete the or
ganagati0n eta Southern Contederdcy They
intend to secede from the Union, and construct
a Union amongst themselves, and will be glad
to find Virginia and the other border States in
counsel with them, after this great revolution.
But if these value their own dignity, or respect
our wishes, let them keep aloof from us until
they are prepared to dissolve their connection
with the present Union, and to unite their des-
TIMES with that of the other Southern States
If they will not be our friends, let them not be
our enemies, by unsolicited and undesired eff
forts under whatever amiable pretext-of pre-
serving an abolished Union, to subject us to
the sectional despotism of a consolidated gov
ernment under the control of Aboltionists at
Washington. The day for new guarantees is

It will be seen from the above that The
Northern States are nearly all in a position of
practical dsunion; that is, they have refused
to sustain the Constitution which their fathers
adopted.
Is the Federal Government going to put
down notification THERE and will the North
stand with drawn sword at its back, ready to
sustain the laws, even if it has to dcsolate its
own fresides and spill the blood of its own
children-as the South is expected to do? That
is the question. Let US have even-handed JUS

ORIGINAL POETRY.
Lines for an Album.


BY MRS. S. J. HANCOCK.
This book is like thy heart. dear maid,
Unsullied, pure and fair;
Oh. may no passions wild ana dark
Fer leave rude traces there.
Oh, would that heart of thine
Was spread before my gaze
A blank, unmarked by deed OF thought,
As this unspotted page;
And to my willing hand
The sacred task was given,
10 write each thought and feeling there
In sunbright hues of Heaven.
Forgive wish so wild,
Nor spurn my humble lay;
'Twere sacrilege for earth born child
A thing of time and clay
To crave SO high boon
As moulding one true heart
To be in ev'ry thought his own
And of himself part.
No, rather like this "book'
That heart forever be
A shrine for friendship, holy thought,
From every passion free.
May hallowed Truth divine,
Love, pure and undeGled,
On it's fair pages shine
In heavenly .radince mild
Better blank remain,
In virgin beauty fair,
Than hand of thine" should ever trace
One earth h-born feeling there.
But as the placid stream,
In its silent onward flow.
Reflects the azure of the skies
In its CLASSY depths below
Thus may thy life, dear girl,
Its tranquil measure keep,
Nor cankering care e'er fade the rose
Now mantling on thy cheek.
May sorrow never wiring
From thy gentle breast sigh,
Nor disappointment's sombre shade
Across thy pathway lie.
Thus would have thee blessed
Had the power to shed
The glowing rays of happiness
Upon thy youthful head:
But like the shifting scene.
By magic lantern wrought,
That fade and vanish all too soon
Scarce we one look have caught,
So, life doth ring its change
Upon our waiting ears:
Ere hope has dawned upon our path
'Tis clouded DER with fears.
AS summer with its bright-h hued flowers
Is followed by decay,
So certain are our brightest hopes
To fade and melt away.
'Twere sweet then mid the change
Of sunshine and of shade,
To think that from one faithful heart
My image ne er shall fade,
But that in future years
My name, ulIdimmed by age,
Shall there be craven firm and bright
AS now upon this page.

The Two Issues-POsitiOn Of the Ed.
itOr of the Standard.

The Editor OF the North Carolina Standard, W
W. Holden, Esq, has taken bold stand in favor
of i'd Valoram and against Secession for existing
causes. The following is copied from the last
Standard:
THE ISSUES OF TRE DAY
There are but two leading issues at this time
before the people of this State, all others having
been settled. These issues are.
1st The alteration of the Constitution of this
State, by the Legislative mode, so as to place
slaves as tazables on the footing with
land.
ID. The preservation of the Union according to-
the Constitution
We shall discuss these issues at length in future
numbers. We are in favorof altering the Consti-
tuition i'll the mode and for the purpose desicn,.-
ted; and while will not subm4 to the admin
istration of the federal government on Black Re
publican principles are in favor of II ing Ar.
Lincoln and opposed to breaking up the govern
met at this time and for existing causes.
Several bills have already been introduced into
the Legislature with the view of altering the Cor
stitution. We have no hesitation in saying that
prefer Mr.. Bedsne's bill, which publish to-
day, to any bill which has been introduced.

So far so good, but we think we can "a tale
unfold &c, which will show that their pet
Breckenridge, is the fourth and last man in the
race, to which pyramid we ask their prayerfi,l
attention.
THE LATE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
From rough statement of the popular vote
for President of the United States, made I'M
partly from actual returns and reported maiori-
ties in the different States (not including Cali
fornia and Oregon,) the Anti-Republican vote
stands at 1850. 1876
Republican vote; 1903, ,9O2
Short of maj: for Lincoln, 796,S34
California and Oregon are not included in
this table, as nothing definite has been heard
from them. The popular vote as indicated
above is 1924, ,63S
Add for California and Oregon, los, 900
Newbern weekly progress., 1860-11-27
Short of a mai. for Lincoln.
4,054,453
The popular vote in 1856 was
$50 1S6

Increase of VOTE 45O,1s5
1t will be seen by the foregoing that Lincoln,
although elected President, falls at least 9O0,-
900 short of majority of the votes of the peo-
pie of the United States. Thus, tnrough the
unfortunate divisions of his opponents, a sec
tional President has been chosen.
The Douglas State Central Committee of Ma
ryland in their address to the people of that
State. make the following estimates and calcu-
lations of the vote of Judge Douglas.
So far as we are in possession of the returns
of the recent election, official and unofficial they
present the following results:
Another Pyramid.
Douglas has received, votes 500, ,4S3
Bell g 452. $50
Breckenridge I" 395, $40
Thus showing Douglas majority over Breck-
inridge so far to be 504, 100 votes, or about two
and half to one, which majority in favor of
Douglas the National Democratic nominee, will
be still further increased by the returns yet to
come.
And in the five border States of the South
Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and
Delaware, the conservative Union vote cast for
Douglas and Bell together exceeds the vote for
Breckenridge 1876, 900, or more than two to one
and will be still further increased by the full
returns. While Breckenridge has carried but
three Southern States. by majority of votes
small as to deny the popularity of the prin-
ciple he represents, even at the extreme South !;
on the other hand Douglas has received IN many
Southern cities and towns, where the Democra-
cy has not hitherto prevailed, large majorities
over the candidate of the Seceders.
1t is also instructive to add that majority
of the popular vote of the South, to the num-
Der 150, 900 at least, has been cast against that
candidate and the sectional principle which he
was made to represent, upon the allegation of
its necessity for the protection of their peculiar
rights.
So it will be seen that our prediction that
Breckenridge would be the last man in the race,
made before the election, has been fulfilled.
Another fact to which We wish to call the at
tention of those who crow over the pyramid
first above mentioned, is, that Breckenridge has
received only minority of the popular vote in
the Southern States. The mGjorjty ot' tie peo-
pie Gr tie South cOtoA against lin.
