To the Editor Of the Standard:
DEAR SIR: You are correct.in your statement of
the occurrences in the street near Gov Elliss
sion on the night OF the 2Sth. The company was in
joyous spirits singing merrily to the tune Of Dixie
the stirring song of Flag of the Union" But there
was no disposition in the company at large to insult
defeated opponent. 4 few persons only groaned
as the band of four or five hundred Union men
marched past the Governors mansion on their way
to call on Mr. Rogers and at the request of some of
the cooler members, they promptly ceased. | am
confident this groaning was not heard forty steps.
There is base attempt to prejudiccS against
the people of Raleigh, because they voted for the
Union ticket Let not the people of the State be
deceived, we are quiet and orderly people, deter
mined neither to submit to oppression nor be drag
ged out of the Union by villificaton or threats
EIGHTY THOUSAND VOTERS in North Carolina are gull
ty of the same crime with the people of Raleig III and
of Wake-attachment to the Union of their fathers
and wisdom enough to discern and despsc the tricks
of demagogues
Enclosed is an account of the manner in which
distinguished member of the Virginia Convention
was treated for cords spoken in debate in the
Convention. Please publish it. Has any secession
paper denounced this? RALEIGH.
FREE SPEECH NOT ToLERATED.-The Hon. John S.
Care, one Of the delegates from Harrison county,
occupied the floor of the Convention yesterday, and
delivered, in the presence of an immense audience,
a strong Union speech. When the Convention ad-
journed, some thirty forty persons assembled in
front of the hail. upon the sidewalk, and Mr. Car
lille emerged from the building, eScorting highly
respectable young lady of this city, number of per-
sons in the crowd testified their dsapprobation of
his speech, and their own disregard for one of the
greatest blessing transmitted to by the Revolu-'
uonary sres mot to characterize their conduct more
harshlyD by kissing and hooting at the gentleman
who had dared to express views which did not cor
respond with their own. Mr.. c. took no notice of
the inGignity, but young man, in the crowd, who
evidently sympathized with him, waved his cap en-
Enthusiastically and "hurrahed" for Garlic" The
anti-free-speech men turned upon this individual,
and a row was only prevented by the remonstrance
of two or three citizens We notice this affair De-
at least one or two persons were concerned in
it who should have had better sense The 'hissers"
will heed good advice if they will refrain hereafter
from such silly demonstrations unless they desire
to inure the cause OF which upon this OCCASION they
constituted themselves the guardians. Richmond

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE
About 3 o'clock Saturday morning, as the

gave away, and the wheel commenced settling
down the embankment. The driver, Miles
Nesmith, Immediately whipped up his team,
aud for few moments the stage was poised on
IKE brink of the precipice. The ground crum-
bling rapidly, however, the stage and contents,
together with the horses were precipitated
down the frightful abyss. There were on the

and the driver; on the inside six Chnamen.
One of the passengers four intormant) found
himself lodged III some bushes about fitv
yards down the bill, and unhurt. The driver
lodged considerably further down, and was
badly injured The other outside passenger,
attempting to jump from the coach, became
entangled in the reins, fell among the horses
and rolled with them about three hundred
yards nearly TO the bottom of the hill He
was badly bruised and received internal injuries
which will very likely prove fatal. Two Of the
Chinamen were killed outright, a third was
fatally injured, aud the Others were more or
less bruised aud mangled Three of the horses
were dead when they reached the bottom
