- We know how to estimate the low and mali
cieus assault which the Editor of the Register is
constantly mixing US through the columns of his
paper and W can afford to treat such assaults from
such source with scorn and contempt But in
the name Of his community We denounce him for
his gross and malicious assaults on Mr.. Badger
That venerable patriot and statesman has never
wronged the Mtor of the Register. He only voted
against him 70, Convention printer he had right
to do; and fol this and this alone he is ridculed
and maligned in the columns of the Register.
The Editor f the Register is the most malicious
individual We have ever known The only one pun
ished by his malice is himself 1t harms no one but
the unhappy Individual who churns his own venom,
and plies his wits to devise occasions for gratifying
his malignant feelings through the columns OF his
paper. His wits did we say? His witG is as
stale as decayed sour-krout.
Mr. Badger, We know, does not regard the Editor.
We feel sure that he has not even read any of his
articles about him.

THE NORTH CAROLINA STANDARD: SATURDAY JUNE 22 1861

take no part in the battle and who must be content
to see the laurels plucked by others. This ordn-
ance does not deprive the Governor of his place as
commander-inchief or interfere with the appoint
ment of any one to whom he may assign the COM
mand He submitted that he has the power under
this as well as under acts of Assembly to which
1t refers, to order the troops to any point he might
see lit In the act Of the General Assembly for the
raising OF State troops special power is given the
Governor for removing them beyond the State, yet
he will very properly send them out if it is necessa
~, and so with liberal construction of this ordin-
ance he will do also, if in his judgment he deems it
necessary. He thought gentlemen had mlsconstru-
ed it. If they thought there any Limitation of the
number of troops to be sent to the seaboard in
OF necessity. He submitted that there no limi-
taton, and if an attack was made on the coast he
could order the whole force of the State to repel it
In conclusion, he would beg gentlemen, and par
tculary Eastern Ones to consider we'll before they
determined to vote down this ordinance We can
not tell what day or an hour may bring forth, and
how soon our soil may be pressed by the feet of
invading If those whose duty it to do So have
made timely preparations to drive them back, and
our homes and firesdes shall be protected from their
vandal invasions no one will more cheerfully award
the NEED of praise but Sir if this is not done and
from any neglect here or elsewhere, the Northern
foe shall land upon our coast and destruction shall
follow his footsteps, is the case in neigh
Dor Virginia. they will be held fearful reckoning
by an indignant people. For one he had discharged
his duty,an would leave to others the responsible
ty OF voting down this ordinance after having twice
received the appreciation of majority in this body.

The First N. C. Regiment.

The Richmond Examiner, of the 14th pays the
following tribute to our gallant Regiment
Honor those to whom honor is due. All our
troops appear to have behaved noby at Bethel, but
the honors of that day clearly due to the splen-
did regiment of North Carolina whose charge of
bayonets decided 1t, and preSaged their conduct on
many more important field Virginia's solemn
sister is justly jealous OF glory her simple honest
courageous population weary of the grand silence
of the forests of pine, they have out to fight
with a deep determination to make their mark
which both friends and foes have yet to fathom.-
Of this occasion North Carolina may be content
No forced praise and empty compliment are neces-
sary now; for every statement of the facts, made
no matter by whom or how, brings out the steady
valor and decisive action of her and representa-
tives in light too clear to leave any place for error
or cause for regret, except that the foe neither
would nor could await their advancing line of Steel"
The Richmond Dispatch has the following:
The noble North Carolina Regiment, at the bat
tie Of Bethel Church, covered itself and the Old
North State with glory. MAJOR Hill, of that regi-
ment, is of the most thoroughly educated SOL
diers and scholars of the South true and gallant
gentleman as ever breathed. 1t was eminentv
proper that North-Carolina, being the next State
South to Virginia, should stand side by side with
the Old Dominion in this battle We commend it
to Old Abes consideration whether even if he could
get through Virginia, he will not find the North
Carolina Jordan, next door to us, "a hard road to
travel?"

CommissarY Department.

A respected correspondent desires us to state,
what pay the Commissary Department of the Army
receives from the Treasury of the State. He desires
it in order to relieve differences of opinion in his
section We give the salaries fixed by law to each
officer.
The Commissary General receives $3.50 per an
mum. The department here has three assistants of
the rank of Captain, each of whom receive s., $50
per annum. How many others of lower rank, we
do not know. Besides this, each regiment is enti-
tied to Commissary, who rank as Lieu.enants, at
$1,000 per annum. At the camps of instruction and
the forts and batteries where companies are sta
toned, we suppose there Commissaries also
By the way, since the Commissary General re-
signed his seat in Convention, we are glad to learn
there is an improvement in his department Our
soldiers here, learn, for the first time have du-
ring the present week been supplied with fresh beef
by the State Heretofore, those brave men, many
of whom too poor to afford it, have had to pay
out of their own pockets for all the fresh beef lamb
mutton or poultry they have consumed.

The HARpER's FERRY MOVEMENT. Richmon,

The HARPER's FERRY MovEMENr-The Richmond
Dispatch has the following important remarks in
reference to the evacuation of Harper's Ferry:
I'VE have learned some facts in connection with
movements at Harper's Ferry which satisfy us that
the operation of the Confederate troops in that d.
recton is controlled by the wisest military councils
and that the imbecile Lieutenant General at Wash
ington will soon find that he has more than his
match in the younger and better soldiers who lead
the arms of the Southern Republic"

The Convention.

"Wkn people get hold of power, they are too
apt to spw disposition to use it to its fullest ex
tent, an, even to transcend its real limits. OF this
the Contention now in session in Raleigh, is GER
tainly al example "-WH. Journal
The Subsequent remarks in this sentence are so
worded IS to convey the impression that that por-
ton of he Convention who represent that large
body he people, whom we call conservatives, or
who arepetter known as the late Union men of the
State ar alone obnoxious to the serious charge
brought " the Journal against the Convention in
the abov, extract
Now, that are the facts9 No instance has oc-
CURED il the proceedings of the Convention, in
which any member or party has proposed that it
should eercse illegitimate or Usurped powers
None hav proposed to exercise its powers " to the
fullest extnt" much less 10 transcend its limits"
We presuie the Journal has some settled or we'll
defined viFs of the pO1eers of the Convention. Let
any who en-, make good the above charge. We
defy them. IT, however, that body has exercised,
or intends exercise either usurped or extralegis-
Iative poRFs, what party in that body has done it
The party esigned to be implicated by the Journal
is in clear minority, although we confidently be-
lieve, it represents majority Of the people of the
State If tie charge, therefore, be we'll founded it
must fall ulon the head of that party which the
Journal labrs in its article to sustain. They, the
secessionist preeipitatOrs, have undeniably the
power, and according to the Journal, when peo-
pie get hOldp power, they are too apt to show
disposition use it to its fullest extent and even to
transcend it real limits"
