A Soldiers Badge.

1t has been suggested as a very important matter
to our soldiers, that each Southern soldier wear
about his person some badge or mark by which he
can be easily distinguished in battle from Lincolns
soldiers, and in case of his death. 1t is very good
thought, and ought to be acted upon. 1t is said
that each soldier of the Federal troops in the late
conflict at the Bethel Church, lad white cotton
strip of cloth or tape around the arm. Ours might
be white tape rose on the breast, cap or hat.

PARTY Malignity.

The State Journal of the 18th inst. contains the
following paragraph:
1--WE have been requested to enquire why Dr.
Mason, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, omit
ted in his morning services, last Sunday, to pray
for the President Of the Confederate States"
We did not notice this low party attack upon the
venerable Rector of Christs Church, until our at
tention was called to it by the following communi-
cation
Mr. EDIToR:-In a recent number of the State
Journal its editor presumes to arragn the venerable
Rector of Christ's Church, Raleigh, for continuing
to pray for the Governor of this Commonwealth
till receiving authority from his Bishop to exchange
it for that of the President of the Confederate States
In tina, editors haste to fill his columns he stops
not to inform himself of the true state of the
Our Rector is a law abiding man, and undertakes
not to alter the Prayer Book without authority; and
the order to that effect did not arrive from the Did,
cesar till the last of this week.
Besides Mr. Editor it struck me Mr.. Spelman is
sadly lacking gratitude to his patron and bene-
factor Gov Ellis, when he evinces such unbecom-
ing haste to see his omitted in the prayers of
the Church, which his present enfeebled state of
health would seem to require. But nOvices in most
things are apt to magnify their own importance,
and forget what is due to their superiors
A LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN.
June Is, 1861.
Our correspondent is charitable. Party malignty
alone could have made the request of the editor
or dictated the article. DR.. Mason, unlike other
preachers we wot of, NEEDLES not with politics.
Like many aged, wise, discreet and sober men, he
committed the fault, nay, the sin, in the estimation
of the party that the Journal represents, of being
true to the Union until Lincoln issued his proclama-
tion But all know him to have been one of the
matters in the land. Why could not his gray hairs
and his sacred office have been spared such an as
sault? If the State Journal or its "rule ruin "
party had any shame the exposure of this piece of
miserable, grovel!ing party magnity would make
their cheeks crimson But they are as hard as ada
mant and as relentless as the grave.

by the State Journal of the efficiency of the manage

the TRUTH to say that Kentucky had 500 troops Ark

two regiments IN Virginia before we had one. In
the same length of time that North Carolina has
been getting up eleven regiments, part of which are

not altogether groundless exist as to their real
character In both cases, they came from Halifax
Nova Scotia ViG Boston, and both want load of
naval stores Naval stores are contraband of war;
and the Confederate Government has prohibited
their shipment. 1t is believed to be Yankee trick,
and schem" by which the Yankees may obtain
naval stores. The matter should be carefully in
vestigated before those vessels loaded. If the
naval stores really designed for the British gov
eminent or people, let them have them, but let not

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The dispatch
received yesterday by the Secretary OF
War informing him that Gen. Twggs
had surrendered the military property to
the revolutionists in Texas was from the
commissary of subsistence and dated at
New Orleans. lie adds that as loan the
use of the Government means Of Trans
portation was allowed to take the Federal
Troops ia the sea board, and they were
permitted to take with them three or four
cannon and their side arms. The Secre-
tary received this morning the documents
from Texas, showing that as early as the
9Th of February, Gen. Twiggs was enter
ing iuto negotiations with the Texans for
the surrender Of the military property.
Col. Waite was several weeks ago ap-
pointed to succeed Gen. Twiggs as Chief
ofthc Military Department OF Texas, but
it appears that he had not reached there
at the time of Gen. Twggs' surrender,
which is considered by governmental au-
thority here as one of the most disgrace
ful and atrocious acts committed by the
secessionists

A High Move.

We observe in the proceeding of the
Ohio Legislature, on Wednesday last,
that Senator Garfield kansas-shriek-
na John Brown member from the West
ern Reserve, has reported bill appropfi-
atine TWENTY THOUSAND Doll
LARS out Of the taxes collected off the
people Of Ohio, to be used in the pur-
chase Of Seed Corn, DC, for Spring
planting in Kansas. This is certainly a
high move! What authority has the
Legislature to take money from the Treas
ury for such purpose? None whatever.
There is not the remotest sanction for
such thing in the Constitution. II
there is any money in the Treasury sub
ect to such an appropriation, the law
making the levy can be pointed out, and
if there is no such law, how can money
in tho Treasury be diverted to other and
widely different purposes from those for
which it was collected ? Aside from the
constitutional objection weprotest against
the humanity Of wringing money from the
scanty means Of needy tax payers to ap-
propriate to the use of land owners in a
distant State. No Legislature which ever
sat would dare make in advance dis
tinct and specific lew on the Taxpayers
of Ohio for such an object. Six or seven
summers ago, the part Of Ohio from
which Senator Garfield halls. was so Of
fectel by drouth and heat that the cattle
would have starved for want of nourish-
ment, had they not been driven off or put
to the axe. Two years ago. this, and at
least thirty other counties of Ohio, lost
nearly their entire wheat crop, gathering
less than sufficient for Fall seeding. This
was in our own State and amongst ouI
own people. Yet it never entered into
the head Of any sane man in the Legisa-
turc 30 vote money from the public treas
ury with which to purchase either seed
wheat or timothy for the regions of the
STATE where these crops had proved an
absolute failure. The man who would
have made such proposition would have
been pronornced Ounce, and yet a
measure which would not be listened to
in behalf Of our own citizens, is deemed
all right when it itapplics to Kansas
