tw We trust that persons at distance will not
be mised by the statements in relation to Raleigh
which are made in the State Journal That paper
says Raleigh has been disgraced to her hearts
content" by the disturbance which occurred at
disunion pole raising. We were not present at this
disturbance, but we learn that there was no immi-
nent danger of bloodshed; that the Mayor and po-
lice promptly interfered to protect the disunonists
and to preserve the peace; and that, under an ap-
peal from Mr. Badger, the large crowd at once dis
perseG. The Editor of the State Journal is himself
standing monument of the forbearance and respect
for law Of the Union men Of Raleigh. Every issue
of his paper teens with the foulest libels on the
City, yet no one lays hands on him. We trust no
one will. This is free country, and Raleigh is a
quiet well-governed town. 1t is better to submit
to the grosses abuse Of the freedom of speech
than it would be to do any thing which would lead
to mob law. But if Mr.. spelman were to go to Will
mington, or Newbern, or Charlotte, and print pa
per- and say in that paper that the disunonists had
'disgraeed" themselves and their town. he would
soon have his walking papers" made out and hand
ed to him by vigilance committee. Who doubts
thatp This simple statement of facts shows the
contrast between the Union men of Raleigh and dis
unionists elsewhere.

George Davis, ESQ.


The Wilmington Herald insists that We have done
George Davis Esq, injustice in statement that
he was disunionist when he went to Washington
as one of the Commissioners from this State. Per-
haps we have, and we now state that the Herald
says we were mistaken. But after all, Mr. Davis
devotion to the Union must have been very feeble.
Could he not have labored and waited longer? Did
it follow because the politicians could not save the
Union in the course of few weeks, that it was
hopelessy gone? The human race has been in ex-
,stence six thousand years. During this long period
every effort put forth by man for selfgovernment
failed, until WASHINGTON and his compatriots estab-
lshed the federal government. This was the great
est temporal work ever performed for mankind. And
this work is to be despared Of and Abandoned before
an appeal is made to the people to say whether
they will save or destroy it! Why, no Indian tribe
ever divided, or went to war against another tribe
without first having "big talk" on the subject
Mr.. Davis proposed no national Convention la
bored for few weeks in cause which is worthy Of
the efforts and anxieties of months and years. and,
failing to accomplish just such results as he desired,
be folded his arms and sat down in despair! Save
us from such Union men. They mar when they
would mend" they keep the promise to the ear,
but break it to the hope"

sent forward to take possession of the forts in North
Carolina. Twenty days have passed, and those
"troops and heavy guns" have not yet arrived

The truth is, since Mr.. Clingman delivered this
startling prediction some four or five hundred troops
have been withdrawn from Texas and quartered in
the Northern States None Of them were quartered
in this State Virginia, lest it might be supposed
that it the purpose of the government to "sub-
jugate" our people. Oh, Mr.. Cingman! Mr..

"Wars and Rumors of Wars.''

Our community was startled on Saturday last by
the rumor that the battle had commenced at Charles
ton between the South Carolina troops and Major
Anderson. Subsequent information showed that
this rumor was founded upon the fact that ship
from Boston, laden with ice and bound to Savannah
had put in at Charleston from stress Of weather,
and had been fired upon by one of the South Caro-
lima bat.criesl The mountain labored and brought
forth mose.
The newspapers before US are filed with "wars,
and rumors of wars We attach but little impor-
lance to these rumors. Some of them are manu-.
featured for effect and many Of them are gotten up
~ correspondents who are expected to send some
thing every day for the papers which employ them.
In times like these every statement should be care
fully examined. Panic rules the hour.
We will keep our readers posted as to events Of
Importance which really take place, bat we have no
taste for these sensation rumors.

TIE WESTERN ELEcrIoNs.-The Western elee sSons
are surprisingly antiRepublican, and show a re-
markable change in the vote since last fall. Cincin-
natl then gave its vote for Lincoln Now the average
Democratic majority is 1000. Cleveland, Sandusky,
Columbus and Toledo, now Democratic, gave their
votes for Lincoln, if we mistake not Remarking
upon the result in Cincinnati, the Gazette (Rep.)
says: If 90.
"At the election held in this city yesterday, the
Republicans to use somewhat vulgar but express
sive term, were cleaned out The returns do not
present single redeeming feature every candidate
on the fusion ticket having been elected by sweep
ing majority. The average fusion majority is now,
judging from the returns at hand, up to present

Gazette for this defeat may have had their influence
upon other election. 1t says: g.
Anticipating the questions that will be asked as
to the cause of this Waterloo defeat we may say
that Sumter did it The Republicans, dissatisfied
and discouraged, had no heart to work, and they
surrendered without seriously contesting the field.
And if temporizing policy is to be continued at
Washington, this is but the beginning of the end
Besides the election in ST. Louis, Kansas city and
Jefferson city, those in Michigan have chiefly re-
suited favorably to the Democrats. Grand Rapids
elected the entire Democratic ticket with gain of
$50 votes since last fall Democratic mayors were
elected on the first inst, in Saginan city Lansing,

The SYSTEM OF THE OL1GARcHY.-Among the
means taken by the Oligarchy to perpetuate their
power in the South, is a resort to the system of
uiseng all letters written north by enlisted in
their army lest their statements to their friends may
reveal the true state OF things around them. This
is in strict keeping with the system of the notorious
brigand, Walker, in Nicaragua, it will be remember
ed who permitted no written accounts of his treat
ment of his own army to 20 forth, unless previously
examined by himself or some one of his officers
designated for the purpose.
We saw this morning letter to q respectable
person in this city, from man mot long since en-
listed north serving in one of the South Caro-
lima temporary Notifications, bearing every evidence
of having been oissd; and closing with hurredly
written postscript begging his friends not to write
to him, as their views might get him into trouble.
No more complete proof that he serves a naked
despotism, and lives under reign of terror could
be adduced than this same letter; which refrain

grown last year will prove good deal better than The pre-

Tobacco suitable for twists and strong heavy ugs for ship

coed and at full prices but the market closes with rather
less activity while We note sales to-day Of prime lots white
