CoNFIsCATIoN OF SOUTHERN PRoPERTY.-When
old John Brown was on trial, he SAID in reply to a
question: that he INTENDED freely to appropriate
the property of Shareholders to carrying out his
object. This is the spirit in which the war is now
waged against the South by Lincoln. His Congress
has just passed act which conscaes all property
used by Southern men in defending their homes and
liberties. This, of course amounts to an attempt to
conscate or steal every dollars worth of property
which the South has, for every dollars worth will
be used, if necessary for purposes of defence Lin
coin is at the head of of the most unjust wick
ed, and rapacious governments in the world. Sure
ly the great body Of the Northern people, who have
some conception of the nature and value of Consti-
tutional liberty, cannot when their eyes shall have
been fully opened, longer countenance the usurpa-
tons and wicked conduct of Lincoln.

the cannonading and Smelling of the enemy, by ri
ding up and down the entertainments and speaking
words Of cheer and encouragement to the brave
soldiers.
After the firing hal ceased in the centre, where
OR regiment was posted, at late hour in the

my were repulsed on the left he galloped off in
that direction, with officers as have learned,
from other regiments; and after we were ordered
to pursue the enemy on the right wing he overlook
and joined at the edge of the old field one mil.
and half from Mitchelrs Ford, where we were sta

for want Of bravery. We likewise take pleasure
stating that Lit. Col. Leach has discharged his dut

The Permanent Goyernment !.

In the month OF lleAt, SONeIhui0u1 VI
thc Confederate States of America will enter upon the
exercise of all its powers and functions under the Per-
manent Constitution. The Provisional government
so far has been eminenty successful In view OF the
obstacles in its way is difficult to conceive how it
could have been more so. Experience may have
brought to light some instances in which errors
have been committed, but the wonder is that they
have not been more numerous.
The important trusts of the South were commit
ted to men liable to err; with weight of respon-
sibility, demanding great wisdom forethought and
patriotism Actively connected with the partizan
contests Of the country during one of the most dit
fcut and exciting periods in the history OF Amerl
can politics. it was natural to look-had they been
small men-men of a loose patriotism, for the man.
festation ever and anon at least of partzan spir-
it. Instances of this spirit may have occurred, but
if at all, they have been rare.
The period is rapidly approaching when the ma
chinery of the permanent government must be set
in motion For oursclf we have repeatedly de-
clared, that during the continuance of the present
war, we were no partizan-would obey no party
dictaon, or be controlled by any other principle or
purpose than the we'll being Of North Carolina and
of the South.
On these grounds, therefore, with the present
lights before us, having entire confidence in the
ability, integrity and patriotism of the distinguished
chiefs at the head of the Provisional Government
of the Confederate States and for the further reason
that so far as we can judge it is the '0iH Of the
people, we now, in advance of suggestions from
clioues, caucuses or conventions-as We have Incl
dentally done repeatedly-declare our readiness,
should they continue, as we believe they will, to
exhibit the same patriotic and antpartizan spirit,
which has hitherto marked their course, to give the
honored names of Jefferson Davis and Alexander
H. Stephens hearty support for the chief Offices
in the permanent Government of the Confederate
States of America.
We desire to witness no conflict of national par
ties, nor to be participation in it so long as this
war lasts and therefore, believing that the South
should have but one feeling, one aim, and one
cause we could wish that no other names should be
brought in conflict with theirs. The South com.
bined as one man. under the blessing of God is in
vincible-dvided, she will become weak and i'm.
potent.
United in the prosecution and support of CON-
mon cause, every man will be left free to the full
exercise of his own judgment to approve or con-
denim any particular opinions, measures or acts Of
the Government officprs
