The Confederate States.

The government has transferred its departments
and bureaus to Richmond Col. Memmenger, Sec
rotary of the Treasury is said to be there Presl-
dent Davis and his family will be there this week,
and the other heads of departments will soon fol-
low. The movement is good one. The presence
of Mr. Davis in Virginia will inspire our troops with
greater courage, and his skill in military strategy
will greatly intimidate the enemy. The diabolical
conduct of the Northern troops in Alexandria, if
the dispatches be true, must arouse the spirit of
resentment and revenge in the South to the highest
pitch. If at the threshold of the war, our women
are to be violated and the vest wretches on earth
are to be let loose upon our unoending population,
it is time that every had buckled on his armor,
and had rushed to the battle field. Men of North
Carolina rally rally!

IMPoRTANT.-An intelligent correspondent of the
Petersburg Express whom we take to be DR.. S. G..
Ward, of Warren, suggests the importance of pro-
curing at this time from our own forests, large
quantity of slpperyelm bark, an essential article in
the management of gun-shot wounds. There is an
abundance of it in this State and our people would
do we'll to get it. He says:
"No remedy in the Materia Medica is more sooth-
ing and eicacious poultice, in gun-shot wounds;
and its mucage is second to other in relieving
tormina, tenesmus &c, in dysentery incident to
camp-life. Now is the time to get it-nert ioeek
the bark will adhere to the wood. Cut down the
largest trees, as the bark of such afford the most
-four, and has less fibre them into sections Of
10 feet in length in order to turn them over while
scur6ng after which, take off the inner bark split
and break it into small pieces to dry, and then grind
it in Touring mill Itmay be sifted through mus
lin, attached to wide hoop or the rim. of an old
seive. Put 1t into neat boxes foot square, lined
with thick paper, and pasted on"

Cant. Bradley #. Johnson.

We received just as our paper going press
on Tuesday, short article from Judge Saunders
announcing the arrival of Mrs. johnson, wife of
Capt Johnson here, and the destitute condition of
her husband and friends, having been forced out Of
Maryland because of his Southern feelings and his
purpose to raise troops to assist the Confederate
States similar notice appeared in the city papers
of that day, which was excluded from the Standard
only because we were then ready for the press and
our paper had already been delayed beyond the
usual time. Mrs. johnson is daughter of Judge
Saunders. meeting, we learn, was held in the
Commons Hall on Tuesday evening, which we did
not hear of till Wednesday, at which the warmest
sympathy was manifested for Capt johnson and his
brave but needy comrades. We learn that Gov.
Ellis rendered him 500 stand of arms and that $500
were raised towards assisting them, besides ad-
dtional sum raised since

believe that this is the greatest thing that could
have happened for the South What are to be the
changes of the next twenty-five years? The human
eye is not able to conceive them Long before that
time Wilmington will have become of the largest
manufacturing cities in America In less than twelve
months we will have direct trade with Europe.
Merchants here, some of whom have talked with,
have already opened correspondence with houses
east. This step which the South has taken will
cause every kind of business to grow in the South.

thousands and those who are worth thousands, mil
lions Our energies are already aroused, and the
work has been commenced in Wilmington.
