THE PEOPLES WAR.

Governments usually make the wars, and the
people who fight have really luminosity for those
against whom they are contending. But in this
war, every Southern man is animated with feelings
of hatred and revenge 1t is the Peoples War.
Every soldier on our side fights with the aacrity
OF one avenglng personal insult and injury.
Not o1ly all the blood, but all the wealth of the
South, is freely offered in such holy cause. We
learn from the passport office, that on Saturday no
less than S172, OCO worth of clothing arrived for
the army-voluntary contributions from the men
and women at their homes in the various States;
and we learn from the same source, that probably
s., 600, 600 worth coming on. And, after the
army is abundantly clad, then abundance of food
will be forwarded.
If the Yankees could only witness the magnif-
cent spectacle presented by united people, they
would despair There is not man, woman or
child in the South, that would not prefer death to
subjugation. We learn, also, that the people are
unanimous for Davis and Stephens and will freely
offer themselves and their all in the war of indie
pendence.
But the patriotism ard liberality of the people
will do more. They will break up the monopoli-
zins extortioners, and make clothing and food a
drug in the market. Many Spectator will be
bankrupt in less than ninety days.-Rich. Wig.
Court OF MAGISTRATES AND FREEHoLDERs.
"A Court Of Magistrates and Freehoders was
held on Tuesday, the Sth inst, at the store-house
on the premises of Maj. Nelson Bell, in this Dis
trct, for the trial of PrusilIa, slave the property
of James l.. Reed, Esq charged with administer
ing poison to her master, and with committing
divers other misdemeanors. The poisoning was
proved, but there seemed to be doubt as to the
criminal intent. The verdict of the Jury was,
that the prisoner be sent back to JAIL to remain
five weeks, and to receive five hundred lashes-
one hundred per week during her confinement

A WHITE MAN MURDERED BY FREE NEGRO
Tile Murderer Hu"g.-We learn by private
letter from Wilkesboro that the 1st instant
number of men in Wilkes county attempted to
press free negro by the name of Fletcher into
the army as servant The negro fed, was pur-
sued and caught. He then drew pistol and shot
his capturer, Mr.. Bartender, through, killing
him instantly. He was then carried to Wilkes
boro and lodged in jail On the following Thurs

The argument, that the people Of the
States acted separately. ia making aud

conclusive. Suppose. say the sscessionists.

with exulting assurance, as if the question
