time making ball cartridges 1t would seem that
we were ready for any emergency, to see the "mon-
Ster" cannons we have. There are, | think, near
200 negroes employed erecting batteries and ditch

in the work, from the way they enjoy it. Each say
they are good for one Yankee No one can scarcely
imagine the work which has been done here since
entered the fort, just two weeks last Tuesday.
The Wilmington Light Infantry, Capt. W. L. De-

moment to do duty, and fearlessy at all hazards
The German Volunteers Capt Cornehlson, one of
the first companies to enter the fort are performing
their duty like soldiers The Rifle Guards, Capt

tain Col j. j. Hedrick is Just the man to command
such a company. His men all regard him affection
ately, and a truer soldier never wore a sword. If
there is any fighting the Colonel will certainly claim
for them part in the first act and sustain their
character to the fullest extent. The Hornets Nest
Rfemen left for Raleigh some four or five days
ago. Their character as brave and good men is too
well known to need comment. The Cape Fear Ri
hemen company numbering about 70 rank and file,
most of which are No. l mechanics, left yesterday
for Wilmington to do work for the State. They are
all brave and clever set of men, and are ready
when the alarm is given to shoulder their guns and
rally to the defence Of Southern rights and Southern
reSides The Iredel Blues are still with u.s. though
there is talk of their being ordered to Raleigh
soon. They number about 20 and will do valuable
service wherever they are called to- The "Tigers,"
"Red Shirts, Plug Uglies," "Ri8e Ranger" or

To THE PEOPLE OF WAKE COUNTY.

FELLow-CITIzEHs In the Reqister and Standard
of Saturday last briefly announced myself candi-
date for the State Convention. did so at the solicit
tation of friends, and because of the atterng vote
by which was elected in February last Nv bust
ness engagements are such as to prevent me from
appearing before you in person besides, the time
between this and Monday next the day of the cleo
tion is too short to ADMIT of any thing like tho
rough canvass of the County. In addition to this
will add that have already recently canvassed the
County, and that my views and opinions as set forth
twice week in the Standard are we'll known to
the people. have the fullest confidence in the in
telligence Of the people of Wake. believe they
know their minds and will vote quite as under
standingy without as with speeches from me. Be-
sides, canvass by me at this time, while it could
do good, would inevitably force in selfdefence
to discuss the past course of parties. This would
revive and embitter old party feeling, and Impair
that fortunate unity of sentiment which now pre-
walls. l would rather bear misrepresentation, and
trust to the people to correct them and to do me
justice than, by replying to them and assailing 9TH
erS in turn, divide and injure my State 1t shall
be said of Inc that made party capital out of
the misfortunes of my country.
Fellowcitizens we are in the midst of war The
time which we all feared and which many of US la
bored to avert, has arrived l told you in February
that would resist all attempts by the federal gov
eminent, under any pretence whatever" to main-
tain the Union by force. The proclamation of Mr.
Lincoln, calling for troops to make war on Southern
States, dissolved the Union 50 far as we are con-
cerned and summoned every true Southern man to
arms 1t is idle now to speculate upon the past.
The proclamation referred to- as by stroke of
lightning made the North wholly North and the
South wholly South. There is no issue before US
for discussion. We are now unit in defence of
rights and liberties. l am for a of the
South for the sake of the South and for all of Con-
stitutiona liberty that yet remains. If elected to
the Convention will vote to disconnect North Car
DINA from the old federal Union; and l will also
vote to make North Carolina member of the Con-
federate States AS 1 told you in February last
will go with Virginia and Tennessee Virginia has
already cast her fortunes with the Confederate
States, and if any could wish to do otherwise,
stern necessity impels US in the same direction
But am willing to vote and l would prefer to
vote to submit the ordinance proposing to connect
this State with the Confederate States to the people
at the polls, for their approval or rejection. re-
peat have all confidence in the intelligence of the
people and in their capacity for selfgovernment
Thanking you for former expressions of your
confidence in me, am your fellow-ctizen,

The Election on Monday Next.

The people of this State will vote on Monday
next the 18th, for one hundred and twenty
delegates to State Convention This will be the
most important body that ever assembled in North
Carolina We repeat what we said in our last, ave
trust that all party feeling will be laid aside and
that the best men will be chosen. Great interests
are at stake. Let the people turn out and elect
thoughtful and discreet men to represent them in
this important crisis"
This is no time for party. This is no time for
ripping up the past. We should not fear discus
sion of what is past our own account, but zoe de-
precate and fear it on account Of our country. In
the of every thing dear to us let present an
undivided front to our enemies. The man who in
vokes party now, or who seeks to use party to adj
vance himself is patriot, matter what his pro-

CAIRO, Ill, April 29.-One thousand additional
troops arrived here at p m. yesterday. All was
quiet ..
The people of Helena, Arkansas, seized the steam
Mars and Cincinnati packet on Friday, and took
from her four hundred barrels of molasses, large
quantity of sugar. and turpentine, all for Gin
cinnati. The boat is tied up there, with cannon
placed on shore directly opposite her. The Helena
folks say the Cincinnati people can have the boat
when they take her, but not until then.
An attack was made on the steamer Westmore-
land, New Orleans packet at Napoleon, Ark, on
Thursday night. 1t appears from the statement of
the captain that he rounded to at that place for the
purpose of taking on freight. As soon as the boat
was tied up, the clerk went ashore In moment
he returned and said that the wharf master inform
ed him that the mob were going to take the boat
This information was Immediately followed by
volley from the guns and pistols of crowd of fifty
or 81 xty persons. The boat was crowded with pas
sengers many of whom were ladies' passenger
named Henry Hammer, of Memphis, was shot
through the heart and died instantly. One fireman
was wounded The Captain had the wheel set go
ing, breaking the line, and got off A struggling
fire was kept up for some time. The boat arrived
here last night. The holes in her look as if made
by grape shot fired from a cannon.
