Mr. HOLDEN: hasten to report to you most
successful effort the part Of our county yester-
day. to raise quota of volunteers for the defense
of our Southern homes against the threatened sub
ugation of the detestable drunken, sooudbe tyrant
at Washington. 1t was proud day for the coun-
ty, particularly after the unpromising results on
two previous occasions, but those efforts were not
as fruitful as some imagined they led to reflection
and reflection to yesterdays success.
Speeches were made by Messrs Holeman, Cum
ningham, Dr. Jordan and the Rev. Mr.. Caraway,
and responded to by DR.. VIM. l. Jordan, of the vol
unteers, in most effective impromptu Speech of
about half an hour. About seventy volunteers en-
rolled their names at Roxboro, and eleven or twelve
at Meals store Mr.. Wilkins attended that place,
and no doubt did efficient work in the way of talk
ing. He, understand, is also o volunteer. Twen-
ty eight or nine of our men, regret to say, have
i6ined companies in other and adjoining counties.
Person will raise all she is required to furnish and
more too. For be it said to her everlasting praise
proposition to raise fund of $40 900, to uniform
provide for soldiers and families left behind, and to
increase their pay, was started and S. IT'S obtained
on the spot-several giving five hundred each, and
quite large number hundred each. There is no
ioubt but the whole amount will be raised and the
:equisiton on the county more than filled. This
ooks like doing their duty, and their whole duty.
The company will be organized tomorrow, and
rendered to the Governor as soon as they can be
uniformed. Yours sincerely, HYo0.

TO THE PEOPLE OF WAKE COUNTY. s.
It has been suggested to me that many of you
wish that my name should be before you for . seat
in the Convention now about to be chosen and the
very fattering vote with which was honored by
you in February last nclines me to believe that the
suggestion may be correct have two rules, on
which have all my life acted one, not to thrust
myself forward for public place, and the other,
to decline any call for my services which my fellow
citizens may make Therefore my name is before
you and my best services at your command, if you
desire them
am now slowly recovering my strength after .
severe attack Of Illness and am not in situation to
visit and address you personally beg you, there
fore, to excuse and accept this mode Of address
You know my views and opinions as they were in
February, and under like circumstances they would
be the same. But the circumstances are not the
same. From the time saw Mr.. Lincoln's procla-
nation for troops have considered the plain du-
ty, interest and policy of North Carolina to demand
resistance and prompt and cordial cooperation with
other States having the same interests, and threa-
tened with the same dangers, for mutual support
and protection.
Your fellow.citizen,
GEORGE E. BADGER.

The German Volunteers, Capt Cornehlson, one Of
