George Davis. ESo.

The Wilmington Herald insists that we have done
George Davis, Esq, injustice in our statement that
he was disunionist when he went to Washington
as one of the Commissioners from this State. Per-
haps we have, and we now state that the Herald
saws we were mistaken. But after ALL Mr.. Davis
devotion to the Union must have been very feeble.
Could he not have labored and waited longer? Did
it follow because the politicians could not the
Union in the course of few weeks, that it was
hopelessly gone? The human race has been in ex-
lsence six thousand years. During this long period
every effort put forth by man for selfgovernment
failed, until WASHINGTON and his compatriots estab-
lished the federal government. This the great
est temporal work ever performed for mankind. And
this work is to be despared Of and abandoned before
an appeal is even made to the people to say whether
they will save or destroy it! Why, no Indian tribe
ever divided or went to war against another tribe
without first having big talk" on the subject
Mr. Davis proposed no national Convention-he Ia
bored for a few weeks in a cause which is worthy of
the efforts and anxieties of months and years. and,
failing to accomplish just such results as he desired
he folded his arms and sat down in despairl Save
us from such Union men. They mar when they
would mend-"they keep the promise to the ear,
but break it to the hope"

~" We trust that persons at distance will not
be misled by the statements in relation to Raleigh
which are made in the State Journal That paper
says Raleigh has been disgraced to her hearts
content" by the disturbance which occurred at
disunon pole raising We were not present at this
disturbance, but we learn that there was no immi-
nent danger of bloodshed; that the Mayor and po-
lice promptly interfered to protect the disunionists
and to preserve the peace; and that, under an ap-
peal from Mr.. Badger the large crowd at once dis
perseG The Editor of the State Journal is himself
a standing monument of the forbearance and respect
for law of the Union men of Raleigh Every issue
of his paper teens with the foulest fbes on the
City, yet no one lays hands on him. We trust no
one will. This is free country, and Raleigh is
quiet, well-governed town. 1t is better to submit
to the grossest abuse of the freedom of speech
than it would be to do any thing which would lead
to mob law. But if Mr.. Spelman were to go to Will
mington, or Newbern, or Charlotte, and print pa
per, and say in that paper that the disunonists had
"disqraced" themselves and their town, he would
soon have his walking papers" made out and hand:
ed to him by vigilance committee. Who doubts
that? This simple statement of facts shows the
contrast between the Union men of Raleigh and dis
unionists elsewhere.

s.Hars and Rumors of Wars.v

Our community was startled on Saturday last by
the rumor that the battle had commenced at Charles
ton between the South Carolina troops and Major
Anderson. Subsequent information showed that
this rumor was founded upon the fact that ship
from Boston, laden with ice and bound to Savannah,
had put in at Charleston from stress of weather,
and had been fired upon by one of the South-Caro-
lima batteries The mountain labored and brought
forth mouse
The newspapers before US are filled with "wars,
and rumors of wars" We attach but little impor-
lance to these rumors. Some of them are manu-
factured for effect and many of them gotten up
~ correspondents who are expected to send some
thing every day for the papers which employ them.
In times like these every statement should be
FULLY examined. Panic rules the hour.
We will keep our readers posted as to events of
Importance which really take place, but we have no
taste for these sensation rumors.

Mr.. CLINGMAN AS A PROPHET.-Mr. Clngman de-
clared in his place in the Senate the 10Th Of last
month"; that he had information that led him to be-
leve "that troops and heavy guns" would soon be
forward to take possession of the forts in North
Carolina Twenty days have passed. and those
"troops and heavy guns" have not yet arrived.
Oh, Mr.. Clingman Mr.. Clingman!
The truth is, since Mr.. Clngman delivered this
startling prediction some four five hundred troops
have been withdrawn from Texas and quartered in
the Northern States. None Of them were quartered
in this State or Virginia, lest it might be supposed
that it was the purpose of government to sub
jugate" our people. Oh, Mr. Clingman! Mr.

Anniversary of the Regulation Battle.

1t will be seen, by the following proceedings, that
the citizens residing near the Regulation battle
ground in Alamance county, have resolved on a
Union meeting and on raising the flag of the Union
on that sacred spot on the 18th of May next the
anniversary ofthe battle The battle of the Alamance
was one of the first conflicts on this continent in
behalf of the people against unjust power. 1t was
the first blow of the American Revolution which
led to the establishment of our glorious Union That
Union is now in peril and it is, therefore, peculiarly
proper that its flag should be unfured where the
struggle for our liberties commenced, and that the
followers of Washington, Jackson and Clay should
gather around it We look for an immense gather
ing of the people and great enthusiasm.

The CAUSE OF UNIoN-A friend in Wilson (says
the Ad Valorem Banner of Monday will pardon US
for publishing the following extract from letter to
u.s. 1t is too appropriate for the times to be with
held. He says
1.-The Union men, though few in this county, are
of the opinion that reaction is, slowly though,
taking place even in this stronghold of seces-
sion believing that this feeling for the preser
walton of country, and the interest of its people
are growing in every county of this State There
fore, looking to the causes which have led to the
present distracted condition of affairs in once
happy and prosperous nation; and believing that
these results have been effected by an unpatrotic
minority, fanatical party North, and like party
South, termed extremists; and, further, believing
that there is leaven enough in the true men of both
wings of the country to save it from war; bloodshed
and final destruction in restoring iraternal feelings
by an honorable adjustment of all our troubles;
therefore, it is suggested to you, W. w. Holden and
others the propriety OF calling. State Convention,
to meet in Raleigh at an early day, for the purpose
of adopting platform of principles for the Union,
or Democratic Union party, which ever should be
adopted, by which to meet the disunion, secession
or States Rights party in the ensuing Congressional
elections in this State. These questions of difference
must be discussed and when they are the change
will soon be effected IN favor Of the old Union Demo
cratic party.
The Union Democrats at the North are making
rapid Roadway in the elections there. With that
party in the North, sound the question of South
ern institutions, and the Democratic Union party
South in 1864 they could not fail to triumph with
the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas for President These
are casual suggestions for future consideration In
this District the Union men stand now no chance"

IMPORTANT TREASURY CIRCULAR.

No TRANSPORTATION IN BOND TO SOUTHERN PORTS.
Collector Sche Of New York, has received the fol-
lowing circular from the Treasury Department:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
March 80, 1861.
SIR: The control of the warehouses of the gov
eminent in the several ports and States of South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama Mississippi, Louisiana,
Florida and Texas having been usurped under the
alleged authority of those States and the officers of
the customs acting under the authority of the United
States having been forcibly excluded from their
proper functions in the custody of merchandise and
superintendent of the entries for warehousing and
withdrawal, it has become impracticabe to continue
the privilege of bonding for transportation to those
ports.
Collectors of the customs are accordingly hereby
instructed that entries for transportation in bond
to those ports can be permitted until otherwise
directed by this Department.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant

Provisions TO Cur OFF FROM Fort SUMTER
The Charleston Mercury of Wednesday has the
following paragraph:
We understand the liberal supplies heretofore
permitted to Major Anderson, will shortly be cut
off Yesterday despatch was received from the
Commissioners to Washington, advising a change
of policy. In their opinion, no more roast beef
no more barrels of potatoes-in Short no more
supplies of any description should be suffered to
reach Fort Sumter. A decision has been reached
here. Fort Sumter must shortly provision itself
Tomorrow the garrison fall back upon its own
stores. Its licensed intercourse with the city must
cease. But there is something more to be mention
ed. A despatch has been sent to President Davis,
in which immediate action is not indirectly limited
at No reply has yet been received, but telegraph
ic reply is hardly to be looked for. The mail will
undoubtedly bring an answer. Our citizens, we are
aware, are excited in regard to these matters Pa
tience with them, however, has become cardinBl
virtue. Let them exercise it.

A Monarchy Proposed.

The senior Editor of the Wilson Ledger in his
paper of April I'd says:
But whittier are we now drifting 1--WE that re-
main on either portion of the wreck To some kind
Of a centralized government we think. Monarchy,
yes, monarchy; government with some perman-
eacy of office attached to the rulers government
IN which less rotation in Office shall create more
tangible responsibility, government not based up
on the seven principles facetiously alluded to by
John Randolph, the five loaves and two small
fishes, or, in the language of the younger Adams,
the "cohesive attraction of public plumber" but
government Uih q permanent and responsible head,
with Constitution that easily adapt itself to
the exigences of the times, and so long it does
exist remain inviolate. Are we to be deprived of
any of our existing liberties? None; we shall have
equal liberty and greater security. With an Aris
tocracy? No more than we have always had an
Ardstocracy of intellect and talent. All we advocate
IS permanent and responsible government in which
the people can have entire confidence"
The foregoing furnishes food for reflection. The
Ledger has been a Democratic paper; it is now in
the interest of the monarchical party 1t is due to
the JUNIOR Editor of the Ledger state that he pro-
tests against the monarchical views of the senior
De Bows ReOieoo is the recognized organ among
periodicals of the disunion leaders The ReUie1o
for March, 1861, contains an article on government
from which we make the following extract:
"This brings us to the true origin and nature Of
all government. All government begins with usur-
patton. and is continued by force. Nature puts
tie ruling elements uPpe1most and the masses OelO
Gad subject to those clements Less than this is not
government The right to goUern resides NTH a
very small minority; the duty to obey is inherent
in the great mass Of mankind"
See De Bows Rerieo for March, 1861, page 3O9
We denounce these sentiments as British sentiments
They are at war with the principles on which our
government is based Well may the senior Editor
Of the Ledger ask whittier we drifting?" If
the disunion leaders could have their way we would
drift first to disunion and then to anarchy and
archy is the parent of monarchy. Again we say
eternal vigilance is the price of liberty"

Want of Provisions in Alabama.

A correspondent writing to us from Eufala, Alaba-

provisions here are exceedingly high and scarce
1t is humiliating fact that Alabama has seeded

support herself She is compelled to get her sup
plies from Louisville, KY, and Evansville, Ind, to

glad that the old North State has not consented to
secede and hope she never will under the pretext

PROSPECTS OF AN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS-
the administration should decide to call an extra
session of Congress, the House would stand thus -
Republican, 105; opposition, 1OO-a majority for
the administration of five. The States which have
seeded entitled to thirty members and if
they were represented at Washington the republi-
cans would be in minority. In Rhode Island and
Connecticut the opposition has gained four members
and in the next Congress fifteen republicans will be
replaced by oppositionsts No more decided express
sion of the sentiment of the country could be desir
ed than these Congressional elections In Connec-
ticut especially, the flight hand to hand-a duel
la Outrance; and it is quite absurd for the Tri6-
Une to say that the republican voters were kept
away from the polls by the snow storm. That the
new Congress will deveope a radical change in
Northern opinion cannot be doubted by any calm
obs eryer of current events. That the calling of an
extra session would result in the utter discontinue
of the administration is also quite certain.-NeU
