by these earnest proieslations from their

san JuAx,-We learn from the New
York 7tfald, under date Of March s2d,
from Washington. that the President had
laid before the Senate, for advice and con
sent, the proposition for arbitration received
from England, in which that Government
proposed to lay the whole Sau Juan mat
ter before Sweden, the Netherlands or Swift
rerland, and accept that award as a final
determination Of the matter. The United
States may select any one Of the above
named Powers. The Committee on For
eign Relations, Of whom Mr.. Sumner is
chairman, have reported favorably on the
subject, and selected Switzerland ns The ar
bitratOr. Senator Nesmith was totally op-
posed to any compromise, or to entertain
ing any right Of Great Britain to the dis
puted territory. Our present political
troubles viii probably leave the matter in
allegiance for sometime yet, although the
above action is strong and decided meas
ure on the part Of the Administration to
settle the matter quietly and in peace.

GovERNEST LoASs.-The late loans
from the Government seem to have been
taken up on favorable terms, considering
the state Of the nation. The present debt
Of the United States amounts to about
uiuety-6ye millions Of dollars, with no i'm

a much less evil than surplus of that

Cant. Bradley r. Johnson.

We received just as our paper was going to press
on Tuesday, a short article from Judge Saunders,
announcing the arrival of Mrs. johnson, wife of
Capt Johnson here, and the destitute condition of
her husband and friends, having been forced out Of
Maryland because of his Southern feelings and his
purpose to raise troops to assist the Confederate
States. A similar notice appeared in the city papers
of that day, which was excluded from the Standard
only because were then ready for the press, and
our paper had already been delayed beyond the
usual time. Mrs. johnson is daughter of Judge
Saunders. A meeting, we learn, was held in the
Commons Hall on Tuesday evening, which we did
not hear of till Wednesday, at which the warmest
sympathy was manifested for Capt johnson and his
brave but needy comrades. We learn that Gov.
Ellis rendered him 500 stand of arms and that $500
were raised towards assisting them, besides an ad.
dtional sum raised since. -

The names of Col Caleb -Bohanan and Captain

We're they given an opportunity to answer on the
charge involving their fidelity to the South We
have reason to believe that NO such opportunity was
given to Mr.. Bohanan. The Unreasonable conduct
refers, we suppose, to language used by Mr. B. some
three or four weeks ago-perhaps before Lincoln's
proclamation. We learn that he did about that
time, use language which, under other circum-
stances, he would not have used. His words were
caught up by persons in his neighborhood, and cir
culated to his prejudice and we have Just learned
from gentleman who was at the district Conven-
ton in Yadkin county on the 9th ult, that Mr.
Bohanan embraced that opportunity to detesllce
publicly, the reports in circulation about him, as
false and slanderous. He claimed to be as loyal to
North-Carolina and the South as any of her sons !;
and said any assertion to the contrary was utterly
false. -
Under these circumstances, which are related to
US by good authority, we sincerely hope that Mr.
Bohanan may be allowed an opportunity to deferd
himself before he shall be dsgraced Salisbury

The Latest News.

President Davis and family arrived in Richmond,
Va on Wednesday morning last, at o'clock. He
was received with enthusiasm there and along the
route.
The government has taken charge of the tele-
graphic dispatches, it appears. good thing
Some of the dispatches in the sensation papers have
done much harm.
As we expected, the rumor that l,5O0 Fedora!
troops we're in Camden county, is denied
The report of fighting at Harpers Ferry was not
confirmed by Wednesdays mails.
Federal troops have been landed at Newport
News, some miles above Hampton, on the North
side of James River. Some suppose their object is
to get supply of water for Fortress Monroe We
suppose that Confederate troops are watching them
Norfolk is quiet and no Federal troops had been
landed near Suffolk
The diabolcal conduct of the Lincoln troops al
Alexandria, is confirmed. The troops in Virginia
are aroused fully 10 the fighting guage Llncolns
troops are advancing towards Manassas Junction.
and an early fight is expected.
Gen. Beauregard has been transferred from the
command at Charleston, to some other point moi
named. We presume that his services are specially
needed in the valley of the Mississippi.
Virginia will provide for the family OF the late
Mr.. jackson, who killed Col. Ellsworth, at Alexan
dria and will erect monument to his memory.
1t is said that 5000 troops have been offered te
President Davis by, the State of Texas.
From private letters received at Memphis, Tenn.
from Cairo, Illinois, it is understood that prepara
tons are in progress to send large armament dowr
the Mississippi, to attack Memphis.
The reception of the second North Carolina reg'
ment, at Norfolk, was highly gratifying. The citi
zens manifested much interest in them.
Apprehensions are felt that New Orleans shlE
from Liverpool, loaded with munitions of war, fo
the Confederate States, will be intercepted and cap
tured by the blockading squadron.

Journal spent days in Raleigh last week, and
gives lengthy article, upon what he saw. The
following extract is very hopeful. When did Full

would require his Chaplans to be, at least piously
inclined
1--WE found every body getting an appointment
of some kind, or wanting one, or expecting one,
and we didn't like to be odd-so we tried to find
out what Office we would have. We could not
quite make up our mind until after leaving Raleigh
On the cars between Raleigh and Goldsboro we took
counsel of friend who, on account of peculiar
qualifications and fitness suggested to US the Office
Of CHAPLAIN, with the rank, and especially the pay
of Major We trust that the Advisory Board will
bear this in mind and not disappoint us"

Our Duty.

Our course is set, our purpose is fixed, to do our
whole duty to North-Carolina and to the South, at
all hazards Our responsibilities as public jour-
nalist in this crisis, and as a member Of the State
Convention, we desire to feel IN all their weight and
Importance, and We mean to discharge them to the
utmost of our ability. { -
So long as the soil of the South is menaced by
foreign or black Republican foe, and the interests
and the homes and fresides of the people OF North
Carolina and the South are in jeopardy from the
sword of the Northern invader, we shall not yaeld
our convictions of duty to party leaders, cques or
squads, nor shall soe march to the tap Of party
drum. Our cherished political principles remain
unchanged But we shall know no party, but the
State and the South, and listen to dctation but
the voice of the people of North Carolina and our
own conscience In the discharge Of our duty in
either capacity we shall pursue no personal or party
schemes, seek to crafty personal or party preu-
dices, no private or party malice. So far as God
will enable us to do it. while this war lasts, we shall
forget the past and labor to grapple with the i'm
portant difficulties of the present and the future
We shall honestly give our support and approval
to all measures. whether they emaDate from the Ex-
ecutive Legislative, Military Departments Of the
Government from private individuals, from cliques
or squads, if they right just honorable and pa
triotc long they tend to the good Of the State
and her whole people, and the well-being of the
South ---:,-
But all propositions, plans, appointments or ar
rangements coming from whatever source, which
we believe to be prompted by selfish or partizan
aims or ends, damaging to the public interests and
dangerous to the peace, the harmony and the sue
cess of our people in the conduct of the war; sense
of duty will impel US fearlessly to expose and de
nounce them We shall assiduously strive, how
ever, in proper way to correct all abuses OF tbt
government and all wrong doing connected with
the public welfare and the rights and interests
