GEx Wool TO GEN. CAss.-Gen. Wool, next to
Gen. Scott in command in the army, and always
Democrat wrote most urgent letter to Gen. Cass,
previous to the resignation of the latter explaining
the necessity and Importance of reinforcing Maj.
Andersons garrison at Fort Moultrie, as a measure
of peace and to save bloodshed If the garrison is
not strengthened, said Gen. Wool, it will be at
tackled, and will be defended to the last The sacri
fee of life and consequent tumult and excitement
would most certainly lead to civil war, and the dis
memberment of the republic. After depicting the
terrible consequences, he implored Gen. Cass, ur-
gently and patheticay, to use his influence to have
troops sent to Charleston"

To the Editor of the Standard i:

10 Tue LuGtOT " tHo DtuHuUU'
DEAR SIR: The rabid secessionists in this State
are moving heaven and earth, to commit the people
to favor their views and plunge the State into
luton. While am sorry to say, all those who are
for demanding their rights in the Union, are doing
nothing comparatively. Warn the people to arouse
from their ethargy, before it be TOO late or they
will find themselves betrayed, and overwhelmed in
ruin.
The recent visit of certain gentlemen to Raleigh
to obtain the countenance of Gov. Ellis to act of
treason, by them contemplated, ought to be expo
sed, and they should be held to a strict accountable
ity for any Orert act they may commit
North Carolina or nine-tenthS of the people at
least in the State for demanding their rights in
the Union and under the Constitution; they are for
exhausting every honorable, legal and constitutional
method to obtain these rights, and only when these
tuH are they for revolution.
Political demdgOgues now representing the peo
pie of North Carolina in Congress, who in this cr
sis, desert their position and refrain from using all
means to bring about fair adjustment Of the ques
ton at issue, are doomed men. Mark the predic
ton! Their political sun has gone down-nerer,
under any change that may take place, to rise again.

The glorious slxty-Ninth.


The gallant Sixty ninth-the stormers Of
the Bull Run masked batteries and the noble
representative of the true Celtic race of he.
roes, who have bled on many a tield-were
mustered out Of the service of the United
States, yesterday, by Col. Sheppard. In ODE
dicnce 10 an order previously issued, the men
of the Sixty ninth, both whole AID manned,
assembled at their armory, in Essex street, at
ten O'Clock in the morning. at that hour hun
dreds of the friends and admirers OF the regl
ment were assembled in the vicinity OF the
building Both past and present associations
drew those large crowds TO the spot, and every
one of them seemed filled with that noble en-
thusiasm which burns in every Irish heart
namely, an undying love for the Union, one
and inseparable, and stern and unfilnchlng
resolve ia support the cause Of civil and rellg
Ous liberty under all circumstances
The mastering out was gone through will
in Broome street, near the armory, by com
three Clock. Captain Thomas Francis
Meagher, dressed in his blue blouse and wear
ing dashng soldierly appearance, appeared
there in front of his Irish Zouaves. and was
the recipient of more iavors than any man Of
double his ply steal abilities could bear. Mos
OF the men, Notwithstanding their bronzed
visageS, and the hardships they have gone
through, appeared as sprghtIy and Euoyant
as lrishmen generally are, looking as il they
were ready for another "brush," provided
there was plenty of 6gl ting TO be done. The
regiment does not expect 10 be paid off for q
couple OF weeks. Many Of them are in intli.

the nations peril had an opportunity to dis
play their spirit, and thus maintain the
Revolutionary reputation of their fathers 1t
may be that Fart of the material instantly
required in the call TO arms was not what was
promised by the contractors, aud expected by
the Governor; if so, no one knows or feels it
more keenly ttau himself; and we venture TO
say that no man is more anxious on more able
to take from the past some security for the
future. TO speak of these transactions in a
partisan spirit, OF in any manner IL imply dis
trust IN consequence Of them, is not the
method by which to give him heart and
strength to labor in the great cause which we
profess to hold so dear. We would not have
the press less watchfal, or less free to speak
but let harsh censuIe give place to calm and
wise counsel. This is the truly patriotic
course, and every enlightened seeker OF the
hnal success and enduring glory o. the coun-
try will not fail to take and keep it. And we
utter this because we know how valuable a
discriminating statement is to the general
reader, and how sweet just praise is 10 the
earnest and noble doer. Furthermore, if it
helps to inform the one, and to sustain the
other, we also shall have rendered some ser
vice to Liberty and Union" in the day when
they imperiously summoned every loving and
loyal citizen to their support.
