NEW VOLUME.

We this week enter upon the tenth volume of
the Western Democrat, and in doing so we take
occasion to tender our acknowledgements for the
I. liberal patronage received from the people of
Western North Carolina. The many expressions
Of confidence and good will received from our
patrons, ever since we commenced the publication
OF the Democrat, have been gratifying and highly
appreciated by US.
We enter upon our volume under as favor
able circumstances we could expect After
striking off about three hundred names from orr
list for on-payment We have 400 left of as good
patrons as ever any paper could boast Of and we
have no fears that the number will not increase
1t Is true have lost good deal by dehn-
quentS which might have saved by sueing for,
but that would have been au unpleasant and
troublesome business besides, we have been OBJ
hGed in many cases to leave it to the honesty
OF those who were in arrears to pay US Some
have shown themselves worthy of being trusted,
others have not.
1t Is unnecessary TO make any new promises
We believe and hope that our past course will
prove sufficient guarantee fer the future with our
friends and patrons.

LINCoLN's MEssAGE.-The synopsis we pub
shed last week Of Lincoln's Message (being equal
to one-half of the document) renders it unneces-
sary for US to fill up columns this week with
it. AS we before remarked, it is nothing like a
truthful statement Of afars-it was written for
the purpose of creating a prejudice against the
South; and to more efectually do this, Lincoln
lies about some things and misrepresents others.
He calls for s40U, 600 and 100000 men, all of
which we suppose his Congress will authorize, but
whether they will be able to raise the money is
doubtful Five times that sum and number of
men Will never be able to whip the South back
into union with abolitonism.

REMARKS.

So little has been done in the market the past week,
we hardly know how to make report No Cotton has
been Sold and quotations may be considered nominal
Flour is rather scarce, but the demand is waiting for
the crop. Bacon is in full supply. Corn is
lower than heretofore The price of produce and gro
ceres remain at about previous quotations.

will be nearly twice as large as that asked for.
Alabama and Georgia together, it is thought, will

WHERE Is THE SPECIE THE scarcity of
change at this time is source of much inconve-
nience A foolish idea has induced some people
to hide all the silver they lay their hands
upon and the result is that dimes, quarters and
half dollars very scarce. To obviate this diff
cuty, we learn that individuals here and elsewhere
in the State issuing due bills notes for small
sums-ten, fifteen and twenty cents. This should
not be encouraged, for it will have the effect of
driving every dollar Of specie out of circulation.
In fact it is an indcable offence and it is made
the duty of the Grand Jury to take cognizance of
the matter If such things are allowed, the State
will soon be flooded with in-plasters" from
irresponsible sources and somebody will certainly
suffer in the end. It is selfish and rather mean
spirit that induces people to hoard up the gold and
silver-if they would put it into circulation, the
effects of the war would be considerably lightened
There is as much money, geld and silver: In the
State now as there was last year at this time, and
more too; but the misery and penurious DISPOSE
ton of some is what is playing the mischief.
SpoILED-We learn from the soldiers at York
town that provisions sent from here generally spoil
before reaching there. Within the last month,
about 12O boxes have been sent from Charlotte,
the contents of which, especially such things as
meat, bread, cakes, pies, &c, had to be thrown
away on their arrival at Yorktown. This was
caused, in some instances by delay at Richmond.
Pickles and preserves were received uninjured
We would suggest to the friends of soldiers,
that instead of sending provisions, money or under
clothing be forwarded, which will be certain to be
Of service.

REsIGNED.-We find a card in the Wilmington
Journal from Hon. W. S. Ashe, resigning his
seat in the State Convention. Mr. Ashe thinks
that the Convention guilty of usurpation of
power in assuming Legislative authority and pro-
called for one object only, that of dissolvng the
connection of North Carolina with the Federal
Government and placing the State under the Con-
federate Government; after this was accomplished,
he thinks the Convention should have adjourned
He protests against the action of the Convention,
and not being willing to exercise power not dele
gated by the people when he was elected, he re-
signs his membership.
