JUSTICE TO A MERIroRIoHs t nE I,lCIsfS

Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me to call the attention Of
the appointing power to the services and qualifca-
tons Of Adjutant General Riddick, Of this State
Gen. Riddick has had much experience a soldier
and officer. He fought calamity through the Mex
lean war, and for six years, believe, officer
in the old Federal service. On the breaking out of
the war he repaired to Raleigh and by lis services
as Assistant Adjutant General, be greatly aided in
organizing and putting our forces IN motion. He
has recently been acting, and is now acting as Ad-
jutant to Gen. Gatlin, at Godsboro.
Gen. Riddick is a native of our State, and one of
her most modest and meritoriouss trust sir,
that he will be appointed Colonel of Col. Branch's
State regiment, now organizing at Raleigh. After
his recent useful services and in consideration of
his high qualifications his friends have right ask
for him some appointment like the referred to-
Let Gov. Clark confer this appointment upon him,
and he will find that it will command universal and
warm approval A CITIZEN.

present an ordinance to the Convention, to author
ize the construction of the Road
By the way, friend has suggested to US that we
were mistaken in our remark some days ago, in
representing the Road by the way of Leaksville to
be twenty-five miles out of the way. Our object
was TO suggest the propriety OF constructing the
Road on the most direct route at the earliest day,
and not to express a preference for any particular
route. Our friend says that Leaksvile is not more
than tea miles out of direct line from the two
points. 1t must also be borne in mind that by go
ing by Leaksyille the coal region will be penetrated
by the Road.

Messrs. Mason and SlidelI.

The whole Southern press regard the capture of
our ministers on board of a British steamer as an
unparalleled outrage. The capture was made soon
after the mail steamer left HAVANA She was
hauled to by shot thrown across her bow, when
Com. Wilkes ordered detachment to proceed to
her and demanded the passenger list which was
finally surrendered under protest The persons of
Messrs. Mason and Slidell were then demanded, who
refused to surrender unless compelled by force.
Force was threatened by the United States officers,
when they submitted to capture. The females of
the two embassies were permitted to proceed on
their voyage, and it is believed they retained poses
sion of the dispatches and papers. Mcssrs. Mason
and Sldell and their attaches have been removed
from Old Point to Fort Lafayette, New York. The
northern papers are jubant over their arrest They
profess not to consider the arrest matter to &C.
casion much difficulty. The New York Herald
says that Com Wilkes arrested them on his own
responsibility We suspected that the Lincoln gov
eminent would disavow the arrest.

PRAIsEwoRrHY.-Prior to the removal of Gen.
Fremont from the command of the Federal army in
Missouri, he entered into agreement with Gen..
Price, commanding the Confederate forces, that from
and after 9th day of Nov last, arrest forcibe
interference should be made for the mere entertain
ment, or expression of political opinion, by either
party and that all who had been arrested for said
cause should be released, and that the shall be
exclusively confined to the contenGing armies in the
field. This if carried out will greatly mitigate the
evils Of the war in that State. The same course
should be adopted at all other points.

this State, resolution unanimously adopted to
petition the State Convention to have the Legisla-
ture called together to cause the issue of sufficient
amount of Treasury Notes to provide the means for
paying the Confederate War Tax, instead of COM
polling the people to pay the tax in May next. At
the same meeting it was resolved to petition the
Convention to amend the Constitution so as to limit
the number of magistrates to two in each Captains
district to be elected by the people and pay them
for their services, and make their courts courts of

SAIT-The career of extortioners and SPECTATORS
in the article of salt we glad to see is likely to
be Of short duration. Salt is now selling in Lynch
burg, Va, at so. Large numbers of wagons from
this State have gone to the Virginia Salt Springs, to
procure it at 70 cents or 81 per bushel. We un-
derstand some persons in this County have made
arrangements to procure it at a cost OF or dol
lars per sack. We hope it will be done speedily
that the people may be relieved and the spectators
caught in their own trap.
Since the above was written, we learn that Maj.
Russ, of this County, who has already made one
trip to the salt works of Virginia for the purpose Of
purchasing salt for his neighbors left again on Tues
day morning for the purpose of obtaining still
further supply These works are at SaltEille, Wash
ingtOn County, Va, and are owned by Messrs.
Stewart Buchanan & Co., who are doing all in their
power to relieve the wants of the people.
Maj. R. has already before them proposition for
$4,000 worth of SALT with stipulation that he will
forfeit 81 900 if he shall sell single sack for cent
above what it costs him; but to those VINO know
the Major, as he is known here. such pledge on
his part would be unnecessary. We have no doubt
that he will deal out this vital article to the people
without realizing cent of profit for himself; and
ior his public spirit in this respect he is richly en-
Titled to the thanks Of his fellow-citizens
We learn that Thomas Jenkins, OF this City, has
authorized Maj. Russ to draw on him for $1,000, to
DC expended for salt to be sold to the people Of this
community at cost; and that Messrs. " H. & R.
B. Tucker, also of this City, have authorized Maj
X to draw on them for $4,000 to be expended for
SUIT to be disposed of here on the same terms.
We learn also that Thomas Campbell, Esq, Presi-
dent Of the South Side Railroad, has authorized
Maj. R. to draw on him for $1,000, to he paid for
suit to he sold in this State, at cost Such exam

Dr.. HARLos, Medical Superintendent of
tgse Maine Insane Hospital, has eliminated
some startling stasis9cs of madness, demon
stra,ing the connecting links between dys
pepsia and insanity in a very impressive
manner. In plain and lucid style he ex-
plains that the unhealthy condition OF the
stomach is cnietiy attributed 70 the dietetic
habits of the American people, that strong
sympathy EXISTS between The brain and the
stomach and in conclusion argues that moth
ing is more common than dsranged siate
of the stomach and bowels, and tAa. in6i>
geslion and costiveness a,e the invaluable
adjuncts of Insanity. He finally admits that
all these pre1ispositions can do counserac-
ted by proper care and atteniion-a strict
regimen, and the judicious use of vegetable
medicines. The foregoing doctrine is moth
ing more than an endorsement or coircb-
oraiion of The tessment prescribed by Or.

practical assertion of the right of secession.
But the Democracy did rot so read their
safely. They loved their country more
than party and in MIR. Lincoln they saw,
not the successful partisan candidate but
the constitutional President OF the United
States. And, therefore, they snppored-
not grudgingly, but heauily-as earnestly
and zealously, in fact, as i: he had been
their own leader in the canvass that prece-
ded his election"
