So Give Them Time.o

Every observer of public events must see that
great change is going on in the Northern mind
The conservatives in that region want time" in
which to do their part in saving the Union. They
are coming up nobly to the work, but they cannot
accomplish it in the course of a few weeks. The
following extract from letter from gentleman of
character and standing in New York City speaks for
itself The letter was addressed to a gentleman in
this City:

DEAR EDITOR: Secession is now the topic through
out the whole South, some for and some against it.
[ feel disposed to cast in my little mite among the
rest, for what it is worth. | do not think it the
wisest for the Southern States to secede at
this time 1t is very grave subject and should be
well weighed in all its consequences as far our
human abilities can be brought to bear. But think
that tis time for action in all the Southern States,
and let that action be unit-that is, to prepare
for secession, for the way things progressing Sc
cessiOn will come at last. Let US try every thing
that is Constitutional. consider it no breach on
the Constitution to do own shipping. Let the
Legislature of each State make appropriation for
the purpose Of building steamvcssels to lines of
steamers to Europe; and then instead of trading at
the North let US do our own trading with the world
Let us also establish foundrieS in the South to cast
own cannon, and let make every thing neces-
sary to fight with.
1t is evident the South has not been the cause of
this rupture We have never asked the North to
live after the of the South, as they have ask
ed US. The abolitionists of the North have been af
ter us for years for living according to our own
liking. Now, who is in fault? Why, the North
Fellow citizens let us endeavor to live within
ourselves. Let us send our cotton, tobacco, wheat
-four and other products to the European markets.
bring back goods at cheap rates, and let learn to
depend on our own resources. Why Sir, it seems
to me with all the advantages the South has, she
ought to be nerved to action 1T once. We have been
servants to the North long enough. We have made
the North fat and she kicks | sympathize with
our friends in the North but they are unable to
help any longer, we must take care of ourselves
ifw can. Don't secede now. Let us try other
means first and if we are compelled to secede let us
all go together B. T.

Mr.. HOLDEN: Nearly every Democrat in my sec

constant reader of the Standard ana has been for
several years, says he fully believes if it had not
been for you and that noble patriot. the Hon. Bed
ford Brown, of Caswell that Gov. Ellis and his Sc
cession party would have ere this, hitched on the
good old State of North Carolina to the tail end of
South-Carona, and by now perhaps had her toaced
out of the Union and ruin and destruction would
have been the reward of her people.
Nearly all with whom have conversed, and it has
been many, seem to be of the opinion that there are
certain epochs in the history of every country when
Providence in His all-wise wisdom, selects
to stay the ron-hand of its ogarch rulers from sud
den destruction against those whom He loves; and
we in this neighborhood honestly believe that He
has in his great wisdom, raised blessed and spared
you for the noble duty which you so boldly and
fearlessly dscharging for the good of your fellow
citizens and beloved State of North Carolina
Go on in your patriotic work, and the people will
stand by you, honor and bless your name for the
noble battle you so calamity fighting for their
homes, their wives their children their happiness
and prosperity in the future. Let your motto be
now and hereafter, IA strict construction of the

Mr.. HOLDEN In that part of the town where the
writer of this resides the complaint is general that
something is tile matter nth the gas" 1t does not
burn with any thing like the briancy it formerly
did. In the house of the writer, it requires two
burners to afford the light formerly given ny
one. Others say the same in reference to their
houses. The attention of all in town, who have gas
fixtures is called to this matter. If this difficulty is
local. then it may perhaps be attributed to some ob
struction or leakage of the pipes in the locality
where the writer lives. If it is general, then the
difficulty should be remedied or the cause explained.

DEAR Sir: As you have always been stroug
friend of Internal Improvements, and especially to
the early completion of the Western Ertension
Railroad, and it is proposed to confirm its loca-
ton as selected by the company through to the
Copper Mines in Tennessee by bill already before
the present General Assembly, you will favor, lin
addition to what has already been given by the
mt!ee on Internal Improvements in their report
relative to the counties through which the road will
pass,) by publishing an abstract Of the Census of
Macon and Cherokee as prepared and given below
by the Assistant Marshals of those counties. hope
soon to be able to give you Macon and Jackson only
remarking here that they will furnish more freight
for Railroad than the counties of Macon and Cher
kee owing to the great quantities of Copper found
being equal, if not superior, to the mines of Duck
Town, Tennessee.
When this great State enterprise is completed,

cheering. 1t seems that excited Cabinet meetings
have recently been held and that Secretaries Thomp
son and Floyd have resigned. II stated that Maj
Anderson's removal to Fort Sumpter was in viola
ton of orders and that Mr.. Floyd resigned because
of the Presidents refusal to remand him to his orI-
ginal position at Fort Moultrie.
The government finds it difficult, if not impossl-
bic to borrow money at any thing like fair rates.
considerable sum has been borrowed at twelve per
cent and the latest statement is that an offer has
been made to take five millions at that rate.

wise plans to settle the differences between the North
and South, have thus far been unable to agree. 1t
