The Northern people have been firing salutes
and passing resolutions in honor of Maj Anderson
for what they term his galtantry in changing his
position from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter. We
can see no gaantry about the matter. If sneak
ing out of one place into another, IN tie niyht is
gaantry then the standard of that virtue has been
greatly lowere

MAJ. Hills ADDREss.-We call attention to
the Address of Maj D. H. Hill of this place, de-
ivered last week before the Committee on Educa-
ton of the ". G. Legislature. 1t is worthy of
mature reflection containing, as it does unanswer-
able arguments in favor of State aid to the Military
Institute at Charlotte 1t will prove to be wise
policy for the State to foster military institution
within her borders The young men educated at
such an institution not only well qualified for
professions where little muscle is necessary, but
they fitted for the sterner duties of life where
bone and muscle are all-important. The boy should
be developed physically well as intellectually
military schools do both. Read the Address on
our first page to-day.
Speaking Of Maj Hill, reminds US of what we
intended to mention last week, that his services
have been solicited by the authorities of South
Carolina We learn that the Gov of S. c. has
twice invited Maj. Hill to take charge of the Ord
nance department at Charleston. He has seen
war as it is, and his experience and skill are APP
precated by those who know him. North Caro-
lima ought and retain the services Of such
She may need them.
TNoTE An error occurs in the Address in the SEN
genius never acknowledged the military to be
of tuition" Instead of sutton it should be intuition
Mr. VANCE.-W Wonder if Mr. Vance, the men,
Der Of Congress from the Mountain District, is in
favor of coercion? He is sending out, under his
own frank, the speech of Andrew johnson deliver
ed in the U. S. Senate few weeks ago in favor of
preserving the Union by force and in opposition to
the right of secession We do not think even the
Union men of this State are willing to endorse such
a speech as johnson made-we are not certainly.
If Mr. Vance is for coercion let him say so, and we
venture to say that he will not find 100 men in his
District who will sustain him.
We see that Mr. Vance voted in favor of laying
on the table the following resolution introduced by
Mr. Pryor of Va:
Resolved That any attempt to preserve the
Union between the States of the Confedcracy by
force, would be impracticable and destructive to
republican liberty.
A black republican moved to lay this resolution
on the table, and Mr. Vance voted for SO doing,
while Messrs Leach, Branch and Winslow voted
against the motion. The other n. G. members
were absent, we suppose, as they did not vote.

The report published last week, from letter to
the Wilmington Herald stating that negro had
been arrested in Wadesboro who had confessed
being engaged in insurrectionary plot, turns out
as we expected, to be untrue Such reports ought
not to be started without the best authority No
fear of negro rebellion should be manifested
though watchfulness will do no harm. We do not
believe there is the least danger, and the negroes
should be made to understand that there is no pos
sibiity of their being set free by Lincoln or his
party, and that the only effect of the agitation is
to lessen their privileges. We know STAKEHOLDER
who addressed his negroes in this way, and ex-
planned the cause Of the present excitement, and
at the same time forbid them from leaving his pre-
misses without pass. If the colored population is
strictly justly and particularly governed, there is
no danger of disturbances of any kind.

The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-07-30

Under all codes of morals, Christian or Heatben
the suppression of the truth has ever been held 70
be as discredtable the suggestion ola faIsahood
Inc Government at Washington seems to nav lit
tie respect to this MAXIM Indeed, we think
abundant proof could be furnished that it REGARDS
the propagation of an untruth and the sunnres-
sion oil fact as equally privilege and duty
whenever any end is to be served by either.
Under date of Louisville July 2G, the telegram
prolessed to give the exact text of the desnatch
from His Excellency, JEFFERSON DAVIS. TO The
Government of the Confederate States COM
municating the results of the battle of Ma
nassas, There were no asterisks or other indi
cations to show that any thing was omitted. The
whole was professedly given-date, signature and
all. This passed the revision OF the War Depart-
ment of course. Towards the close of the de-
spatch Mr.. DAVIS says: u The battle aras anqinzy
'Jough on our let." Well, yesterday morning
we published, from the Richmond Eaqvirr the
text of the same despatch, by which it appears
that Immediately after the words above
quoted, Mr.. DAVIS added, " seperog miles from
sour feld scorkS." The War Department
struck out these words, with the obvious
and deceptive purpose of concealing from the
people of the North the fact that this battle of Ma
nassas was won by the Southern troops in a fight,
not behind batteries, or entertainments, or field
works; but in the open field, man to man, gun to
gun.
1t cannot be long before the people of the North
will awake to the conviction that no confidence
whatever is to be placed in any esensation,
official or unofficial, of the men who-to the inee
fable woe and degradation of the nation-bear
sway at WASHINGTON
The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-07-30

We have heard but little, of late, of the LIST
regiment of Massachusetts,, of the 10Th Of April
notoriety. Boston at one time entertained
great hopes OF that particular regiment
hopes which, we inclined to believe, are not
now destined to be realized Those veracious
chronclers of the events and incidents of the war,
the newspaper correspondents, have taken especial
palms, heretofore, 10 keep the public informed of
Its whereabouts, and to let Governor ANDREW
know that the corps, in whose welfare he had
expressed so much interest, occupied a posi-
ton IN advance of Alexandria and was burn
ing with Unsurpassed eagerness to meet the South
Carolinians in battle This martial ardour was
undoubtedly worthy of all praise, and it was
lauded accordingly. The selection of the South
Carolina regiment as the especial object of attack
was not less proof of gallantry than of cour-
ageous confidence. 1t was something worthy of
note to be given to understand that the men Of
Massachusetts, were bent upon stripping the Pal
ihettoes OF their laurels. When therefore, the
n's' advance was made upon Bull Run, we were
NY surprised to learn that the lst Massachusetts,

hate, and the contest they eonrted was we'll I'M
ders;ood TO be for the purpose Of putting sqnarely
TO the test the fighting qualities of these repre-
sentative warriors of the contendng sections.
There was spark of Old time chivalry in this Sc
lection of antagonists and it is quite probable that
the men On both sides fought well. We can
imagine, moreover, that in the struggle which en-
sued there may have been many instances of in
diyidual gallantry; but the details are meagye.
All we have been permitted TO know ia that OF
the whole of the troops engaged, The lst Mas
sachusetts suffered the heaviest loss. and
that when the battle ragged the hottest.
I" they broke ranks and, scattering in diff
"ferent directions, continued their hasty retreat
'for some distance through the woods" The re.
mainder of the brigade TO which they were at
tached fell back, it is said, and formed behind
AYERS battery; but the Massachusetts, fugitive:
could not be rallied. The issue then between
Massachusetts, and South Carolina is, SO far, set
tied to the disadvantage of the former The sub
sequent battle compromised the whole Northern
section. In spite of the poetical but arrogan
forewarning of Doctor HOLMES it was the Soutl
that withstood the shock it was the North tina
