Electoral Ticket.

We heard it suggested at one time, that it was
thought, in view Of the shortness of the time be-
fore the election, 10th of NovemberO that it would
be advisable for the members of both branches Of
the Legislature to propose Electoral Ticket to be
voted for by the people. We suppose it was not
DONE We know not what course will be adopted
to get out ticket, unless the people hold primary
meetings Immediately, and call District and State
Conventions 1t is all important that ticket
should be formed at an early day, and it would be
well if it could be agreed to have but one ticket
But we desire fair and just ticket to all parties
and all sections Of the State We shall oppose any at
tempt to form ticket that would be unacceptable
to the people, BY cliques or packed Conventions.
e" We would earnestly impress it upon the
minds of the people Of North-Carolna, to vote for
no man as Eiector, who is not pledged, under all
circumstances to vote for Jefferson Davis, of Mis-
sssippi, for President and Alexander II. Stephens,
of Georgia, for Vice President.

HatteraS.
We clip the following extract from the Richmond
Dispatch:
1.-The affair of Fort Hatteras was one of which the
State of North-Carolna had control, and for which
the Confederate government was not responsible"
This statement will make an erroneous impress
sion. The State Convention authorized the transfer
of our coast defences, munitions and troops to the
Confederate government but fixed the goth of Au-
gust the latest period for the transfer Our State
authorities held on to them until the Goth August
having ordered cessation of work on our defences
in July. The Confederate government did not take
possession until the Goth of August, ten or eleven
days before the affair of Hatteras. Had that govern
ment continued Gen. Gwynn in office at least until
it had the chance of fully asceraining the condition
of things on the coast instead Of sending CON- Bar
ron to assume the command at that iuncture we are
confident the disgrace and disaster would not have
occurred; not because the defences were complete,
but because our brave men under his lead would
have kept the Yankees from landing.

STATE TREASURY NoTEs.-The Legislature has
passed bill directing the Public Treasurer to issue
Treasury notes to the amount of 81 oOO 900 as soon
as possible, in sums ranging from 500 to cents.
The Convention did not authorize the issue of these
notes until the first of March, for the reason that
the constitution of the provisional government pro-
hibits the States from issuing bills of credit The
permanent constitution does not We presume,
therefore, our Legislators acted upon the principle
that necessity kno'7s no htac,-a principle not al
ways safe, even if it be necessary.

The Hyde County Rumor.

Nc HyQe COuuty humOr.
Since the issue of the last semi-weekly Standard,
we have conversed with friend an intelligent citi
zen Of Hyde, who informs us that the rumor which
has been SO industrousy circulated in different Dor
lions Of the State and which We published in our
last does great injustice both to Hyde and to Dr.
Selby. s>S -
Our article was intended to put Hyde county right
before the public, and to show that the people of
Hyde proper were not untrue to the South and to
the State, and that they very different people
from those who lived on the banks. But as that
damaging rumor was afoat, and doubling some Of
its particulars, thought it best to notice it. in
der that it might be corrected if untrue, or if true
that 1t might be exposed.
This is no time to parley with our bastard, des-
potic foe, nor to smother up the conduct of those
who are opposed to the South among us, if there be
any, or to pander to any who from sheer fear would
submit tamely to Lincoln. Those who are not fo-
US are against us. That has been our position from
the first
Our friend received his information from gentle
man who attended the public meeting in Hyde
And he stated that a committee of safety had been
appointed, of which perhaps, DR.: Selby was CHAIR
man. That at the before mentioned meeting the
Doctor presented series of resolutions from said
committee, setting forth the imminent danger of that
section, and suggesting such prudential course,
would most likely shield them from attack in their
unarmed and defenceless condition. One of the re-
solutions was considered by some to manifest too
much Of submissive or trucking spirit, and Mr.
Beckwith denounced it as cowardly, when an alter
cation took place between him and Dr. Selby, which
was however, at once suppressed by the interference
of friends.
The resolution we are assured was unacceptable
to the meeting, but no one believed for mo-
ment that the Doctor or any one else there, was
wanting in fidelity to the South. This is just what
we believed before Of the people of Hyde, as we do
of the entire East, except those benighted people
who live on the banks and islands, who are in pc
culiary exposed condition.

MR- sEWARD,s spEEcH.

The speech which the public have been ex-
pecting from Senator Seward has at last been
made, and doubtless our readers will be anx-
ious for its early publication in the Witch
man. We shall crafty this desire by giving
il entire next week. Senator Seward is one
of the abest as he is one of the most promi-
nent of American Statesmen, and is now set
down on the slate as the Secretary Of State
in Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet. His speech there
fore cannot fail to excite an intense interest
throughout the country, as foreshadowing in
some degree the policy of the incoming Ad-
ministration. 1t is calm. dignifed, able
and patriotic speech; and in contrast with
the clustering and reasonable harangues with
which the halls of Congress have for a few
weeks past been disgraced, it will be hailed
with pleasure by every lover of the Union
aud hater of treason.

SAD DEATH-A WARNING TO BoYs.-Two
weeks since we noticed the death of son oil
Rev. Mr.. Muzzey, Missionary to India, who
is now in this country, and lectured in this
place but few days before. We now learn
from the Ne,0 Hampshire Statesman, that the
death, which occurred at Middlebury, VT,
where he and his sister were attending school,
was under circumstances Of peculiar sadness.
The Statesman says
" He was returning from school, and was
thrown down and jumped upon by his COM
panions. He went home, complaining but
little, and then of his back. He retired earli-
er than usual, and after being in bed awhile,
the sister went into his room, to see if he was
properly covered up. He was awake, and on
her retiring said, Good night, sis" In the
morning he was found dead. post norton
examination showed his death to have result
ed from internal bleeding, two blood vessels
being found ruptured. A large and severe
bruise was also found upon one side"
