4 EMIL Vote.

We trust our people will bear in mind the impor-
lance of polling full vote for members of Congress
and for President and Vice President on the 9th
day of next month. 1t is true there is contest
for President and Vice PRESIDENTIAL the people
are satisfied WITH and will vote cheerEully for Davis
and Stephens; but the people, by turning out and
giving full VOTE will in the first place show the
interest which they feel in their new government
in the second place, encourage and sustain the emf
ncnt patriots at the head of the government-and in
the third place, give the lie to the assertions Of Lin
coin and his minions, that there are Union men in
this State. Besides, large vote, and unit vote,
as Of course it will be- will benefit the Southern
cause Europe, by affording proof to the govern
ments beyond the water that our people are fully
alive to the Importance of the conflict in which their
armies are engaged and are cordially sustaining the
government at Richmond. These reasons of them
selves, not to mention others, should induce every
citizen to go to the polls.
Let crery citizen and erery soldier rote. Ieitem-
Der, citizens will vote at the usual places on We'd
ncsday the 9th of November; and the soldiers will
vote in camp, on the Thursday preceding being the
SlSt Of October -.

THOMAS l. FAIsoN, EsQ.-It will be seen by his
Circular in our paper to-day, that Thomas l. Faison,
Esq., of Sampson is also a candidate for Congress
in the Sd District This makes four candidates irl
this District, to-wt: Col. Kenan Of Duplin, MrI
Thomas of Cartcret, Mr.. Koonce of 0nslow, anGl
Mr. Faison-all clever and worthy gentlemen. The
interest of the District would be safe in the hands
of either. Mr. Faison hits the nail on the head
when he says the Goldsborough Convention had no
power to bind the people Of the District lie gives
it to that body right and left The people are ia
king care of themselves about this time, and we
trust they will continue to do so. EH

New ENGLiND AND HER TROoPs-The Northern
papers are '.blowng" considerably about the NUM-,
Der of troops which Massachusetts,, Connecticut,
Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont, and New HamP-
shire have in the field; and the whole number of
regiments is only 46l Massachusetts,, with twice
the white population of Nor.hCarolina, has II reg
iments, while the latter has SC; and Tennessee,
with white population of $50 900 has 4S regiments,
against 46 from all New England with white pop
ulation of more than three millions! This same
Massachusetts, during the war Of 1872 sent some OF
her troops towards Canada, but they refused to
cross the line to fight the British, and left this work
on foreign soil to be done by Southern troops But
she claimed pay for these same militia and we be-
lieye was still claiming it at the hands Of the gov
eminent when the old Union was broken up-thus
showing that Yankee greed was much stronger than
Yankee yalor. The truth is, Pennsylvania, New
York, and the Northwestern States are bearing the
brunt of this war against the South The New
England States are willing enough to profit by the
war; which they were largely instrumental in bring
ing on, but they will do but little of the fighting.

C. r. Thomas, Eso.-We invite the attention Of
our readers, especially in the Sd District to the Cir
cular of this gentleman in the Standard to-day.
This Circular is we'll written, and does credit both
by its style and the sentiments it conveys, to its
author. 1t is not our purpose to take part in the
contest in the Sd District but we Thick it duty
to say, that having served with Mr.. Thomas in the
State Convention, and having observed his course
in that body with some attention, We regard him as
man of more than ordinary ability and sterling
patriot .- ...-. 49,

WILLIAM LANDER, Esq.-This gentleman has the
field to himself for Congress in the 9Th District
He does not appear however, to be acceptable TO
such ultras as the Charlotte Bulletin. Though Mr.
Lander among the first to secede at Baltimore
yet the fact that he abored at Charleston and after
he returned home, to preserve the national Demo-
cratic party from destruction is moreor less oen%
siye to violent sccessionists who, it seems, will be
satisfied with no one who did not prefer disuRion.
We agreed nearly entirely with Mr.. Lander at
Charleston and after he returned home; butwe diff
fered with him at Baltimore, and then again, with
him, we supported Breckenridge. But whether we
agree or differ with him, he is an honest and an
able man, and, like Capt John Walker, who is on
our ticket for Elector for the sth District, he will
no doubt truly represent the people of his District
and it is not for us to say nay to what the people
may choose to do.

Death of Lulye Dick.

We arc panied to record the death of this excel
lent man, which took place on the 18th instant, in
Gates County. He fell sick, we understand at Eden
ton, whittier he had gone hold Court, and was re-
moved to a point some twelve miles from Black
Water Depot, where he died. .,
Judge Dick was in the 75d year of his age. He
had been on the Superior Court bench upwards of
thirty years, having been elected, we believe while
member of the Commons from Guilford County.
He was good man, and an honest, impartial, and
upright Judge

ROANOKE lsDAND.-This is an important strategic
point for the protection of the region bordering up
on Abemarle Sound, and to check any rear move
ment of the enemy against Norfolk, 1t is there
fore of great importance that the eyes of President
DAVIS and Gov Clark should be directed to that
point The intimations from the North are strong,
that the enemy will soon attempt to assai Roanoke
Island with strong force from Hatteras under Gen.
Mansfield an experienced officer. Have we an ex-.
pcrienced officer in command at that point? Have
We sufficient army and naval force there
to resist the invader successfully There is, perhaps,
greater danger at that point than at any other. it
Hatteras is to be made the base of operations by the
enemy. We beg the eraliest attention of the gov
eminent to this matter

FINE LEATHER.-There is perhaps no article which
the South will need more during the blockade, than
good leather. We have received from Mr.. Isaac
Brnfeld of Newberry S g., beautiful specimen
of fine calskn, which he thinks equal to the French,
just manufactured at the Newberry Tan Works.
Mr.. B. has discovered process for tanning, for
which he has obtained patent, by which he as
sures us he can manufacture leather in third
less time and with twothrds less bark than it takes
now by the old process, and thirty forty per
cent. The specimen sent us, he says, was tanned IN
twenty days. 1t appears to be heavy substantial
article Mr. Brinield says he is now prepared to
sell rights to manufacture upon his process in all
the Confederate States except SouthCarolina, which
has already been disposed OF. The subject merits
