GENERAL NEWS.

Lincoln is urged by sundry persons in the North
ern cities to expel Mr.. Russell, the namby -pamby
correspondent of the London Times, from Wash
ington.
Despotsm regns rampant at the North The
liberty of the press Of speech and of thought are
under the ban of Lincoln. Liberal presses every
where are stopped-innocent and highly respecta-
bic ladies and gentlemen are arrested and sent to
prison. God is Just, but his wrath will not always
slumber. Within few days many of the most re-
spectacle citizens of Maryland have been arrested
The Federals at Fort Pickens attempted to burn
the Pensacola Navy Yard on the 18th. Gen. Bragg
drove off the scoundrels
Gen. Thompson of the Confederate forces in Mis-
souri,. has issued proclamation, affirming that if
Fremont carries into effect his bloody proclamation,
for every one he murders, he will "hang, draw and
quarter" one Of Linco!n's minions.
Col. Humphrey, of Onslow, is announced by the
GoldsbOro Tribune as a candidate for Congress

commends his name to Convention.
A cargo of Laguira coffee was sold recently in
Charleston, at an average of 2s5 cents per pound.
Gov. Pickens, of South Carolina, is making ex-
traordnary exertions to put the coast of South
Carolina in complete defence. So is Gov. Brown,
of Georgia. Georgia has spent $50, 900 on her own
account for cannon, recently.

Pig Iron from Ore Hin. Chatham.

We have recently heard from the upper part of
old Chatham, and learn that the blast-furnace is
now under successful operation, and IS furnishing
as good quality of pig-metal as is produced any
where This iron is manufactured from the iron
ore known by mineralogists as brown hemat,te, (he
Migrated oxide of iron y situated mile from the
Vernon Springs in the western part of the County,
near the Randolph line. The hematite is quarred
from the Ore HILL which is composed almost entire
ly of this valuable metal Mr.. Burlington who
has it in charge, is experienced miner, and has
the reputation of being of the best furnace OPP
eratives in the country. He is now preparing to
cast pots, pans, ovens, andirons &c, and can cast
shot and shell and even cannon, if the government
at Richmond should think fit to make the necessa-
ry orders. There is probably no portion of the
Confederate States where iron of all qualities can be
manufactured at as little expense and of as good
quality. A few miles South of Ore Hill, on the
banks of the Sapponee, deep River,) there has al
ready been erected bloomary, where good bar-iron
is manufactured under the superntendency of Mr.
Brown.

Secretary of War.

Since Mr.. Walkers resignation, Hon. j. P. Ben
jamIn, Attorney General, has been performing the
duties of Secretary Of War. Gen. Polk, Gen. Coop
er, Gen. Lee, Gov. Harris, and also Col Branch, of
this State have been spoken of as his SUCCESSOR
We not advised of Col. Branch's peculiar quail
fcatons for the office but it is high time that North
Carolina had some representative in the councils at
Richmond. We would commend to the special no.
tce and consideration of President Davis, the rare
qualifications for that Office, of the late Military
Board of this State, and especially Of the Military
Secretary of that Board whose term of service ex.
pired on the Goth inst. As Col. Branch belonged
to another branch of the service, and withal has
been connected with the Military Secretary in the
" crcumlocution Offices of this State, they would
doubtless make admirable diplomats if not tip-top
Secretaries of War. However, as to their military
qualifications, we refer the President to the good
people of North Carolina.

Why NoT?-The Washington Dispatch holds
the following language in regard to the dilatory
movements of the authorities of the State:
"Why does not Gov. Clark call for volunteers
for the defence of the coast? Thousands, in our
opinion, would rush to the rescue. A Regiment
here and two in Hyde, with cavalry and artillery,
would be amply sufficient Troops can be raised,
thousands of them. Let the Governor attend to it
at once. Many lives, much disgrace and millions of
property would be saved by It. 1t must be done
and done at once, or thousands in all this exposed
section will speak out in such indignant tones of
thunder, to make folks shake in their Shoes"
The answer is, we suppose, that Gov Clark is
doing all that a man who is over-cropped and bur-
dened with two offices, and with rather slender
means to do with, can do. he can fully discharge
the duties Of Speaker of the Senate and of Governor
of the State, at time like this, and prevent every
body from grumbling, he must be an uncommon
man. No one doubts Gov. Clarks purposes 10 do
the best he can, and the Eastern people may be
he is not unmndful Of their condition.

Mortality in Camps.

Let not our people be alarmed at the number of
deaths of our soldiers in camp. According to the
tables Of mortality constructed from materials urn
ished by the United States census about nine out of
one thousand of men aged twenty-five years die an
nually from ordinary causes. Assuming that North
Carolina has twenty five thousand soldiers in the
field and that their average age is twenty five of
that number two hundred and twenty five will die
during the first year of their service. TtOo hundred
and Twenty-Five SoouM haze died If there had been
aoar So that although it is distressing to every
humane heart to the dead bodies of our gallant
citizens brought home from our camps to be buried
let us not be deceived disheartened by the COM
mon saying that those camps are grave yards"
According to the Northampton tables of mortality
three hundred and nlnetysix out of twenty-five
thousand men at average age of twenty five years
die annually. The Carlisle tables show mortality
about one-half as great the Northampton tables.

Electoral Ticket.

We heard it suggested at one time, that it was
thought, in view of the shortncss of the time be-
fore the election 10Th Of November,) that it would
be advisable for the members of both branches of
the Legislature to propose an Electoral Ticket to be
voted for by the people We suppose it was not
done We know not what course will be adopted
to get out ticket unless the people hold primary
meetings immediately, and call District and State
Conventions 1t is all important that ticket
should be formed at an early day, and it would be
we'll if it could be agreed to have but ticket
But we desire fair and just ticket to all parties
and all sections of the State. We shall oppose any at
tempt to form a ticket that would be unacceptable
to the people, By ciiques or packed Conventions.
~" We would earnestly impress it upon the
minds of the people Of North-CarOlna, to vote for
no man as Elector who is not pledged, under all
circumstances, to vote for Jefferson Davis of Mis-
sissippi, for President and Alexander H. Stephens,
of Georgia, for Vice President

To the Rescue, North.Carolinians.

Hatteras has been captured and 700 of our men
are prisoners of war to Lincoln. Our coast is to
be made the theatre Of the yrans villanies as the
Potomac and the James Rivers have been. 1t is
evident that the serpent is making strong effort to
get North Carolina in his coil Shall it be So peo-
pie of North Carolina? From the mountains to the
seaboard our people say, No!
friend at Tarboro' writes US warm and earnest
letter to urge the immediate recapture of Hatteras
Let it be done We presume our authorities will
do what they can. There are tens of thousands in
the State who will second every attempt to wipe
out the stain and the disgrace of the Hatteras cap
ture. Let it be done quickly. ftss
Let every man in the State put himself in readi-
ness to rush to repel the invader. Drive out the
miserable hirelings of the despOt Lincoln, at any
cost

We clip the following extract from the Richmond
Dispatch:
1.-THE affair Of Fort Hatteras was one of which the
State of North Carolina had control, and for which
the Confederate government was not responsible"
This statement will make an erroneous impress
sion. The State Convention authorized the transfer
of our coast defences, munitions and troops to the
Confederate government but fixed the goth of Au-
gust the latest period for the transfer Our State
authorities held on to them until the Goth August,
having ordered a cessation of work on our defences
in July. The Confederate government did not take
possession until the goth of August, ten or eleven
days before the affair Of Hatteras. Had that govern
meDt continued Gen. Gwynn in Office at least until
it had the chance of fully ascertainng the condition
of things on the coast instead of sending Com. Bar
ron to assume the command at that juncture we are
confident the disgrace and disaster would not have
occurred; not because the defences were complete,
but because our brave men under his lead would
have kept the Yankees from landing.

AN ARTICLE OF A MIsCHEvoUs TENDENCY.-The
last Raleigh Register has the following sensible
article =
"The last State Journal contains an article,
which, in our opinion, has mischievous tendency.
We allude to the article on the Election of Sena.
tors" For our own part we hailed the result of
the Senatorial election a sign that all mere Sec
tional strife in the Stat. had been merged at least
for the present, in united and efficient actio
against the common foe of all the sections of the
State and of the South and had two western gentle
men been invested with the Senatorial robes we
should have been equally pleased at the Indication
that until our rights and liberties shall be triumph
anty INDICATED and the vandal foe driven from
soil, North Carolina will know section but.that
ofa united South. Why then, should the State"
or any other Journal, use language calculated to
promote heart burnings and discord, which other
wise would not exist? In looking over the votes,
we see that western men voted for Mr.. Dortch, and
yet we have heard Of no complaint the part of
the west and We earnestly hope that the Journals
article will not find a response from any man in
the west"

MrsrRUsT. accomplished writer, who signs
himself "W" in a late Register, wastes a deal Of
good powder in warning the people of North-Caro-
lima against the bad influences of the demon Mis-
trust He intimates that differences of opinion in
regard to our defences and public affairs may breed
mistrust or a want of confidence in the loyalty of
those who have in keeping the great interests of
State.
We submit with all proper Difference that the
idea is far-fetched and groundless. No one in North
Carolina doubts for moment the loyalty Of our
public men. We have never heard so much as a
whisper or suspicion of that sort. The only mis-
trust which any can feel, arises first from the
logged persistence of many in power, who labor to
create and foster party during the existence of
bloody war, when the great body of the people
think that we should forget party, and labor alone
for the good of the State and of the South. Second
ly, mistrust of the wisdom, sound judgment and
efficiency of those who manage public affairs, will
doubtless arise in the minds of the people, when
results show failures or blunders under their man.
agement But this does not argue a mlstrust of
their fidelity, nor is the one logical or necessary
sequence of the other.

The Legislature.

Both Houses adjourned on Monday morning at 6
o'clock, ait er session Of 40 days. faithful da-
euerreotype of what was said and done in both
Houses during the aforesaid 40 days, might crafty
the curious, and amuse those who have keen sense
of the ludicrous but would fail to Impress the read
er with the TRUTH that there is really good deal of
legislative ability in Both Houses. The Senate for
the most part was grave body. Its business, be-
ing smaller body, was conducted with more quiet
than that of the House. The Commons Hall is too
small and badly constructed, for body as large as
that, to show to advantage even if they were all
Senator's hence at times during the late session.
the confusion of tongues was intolerable.
We were unavodably prevented from getting
report of its proceedings during the past week. and
we have been unable to procure the captions Of the
ao.s for this issue We shall endeavor to prepare
correct and full report of the acts for our next
The Militia bill, the Stay-law, the Revenue bill,
and the bills for paying the soldiers, and providing
for carrying on the war, the most important of
the session Whether all their provisions will please
their constituency, is at least dubious. Several
measures regarded of great Importance to individuals
or to sections were defeated. No doubt the men,

The Hxds Comfy Rumor.

Since the issue of the last semiweekly Standard,
we have conyersed with friend an intelligent citi-
zen of Hyde, who informs us that the rumor which
has been so ndustriously circulated in different por
tions of the State and which we published in our
last, does great injustice both to Hyde and to DR..
Selby. 3 -t7e a,tg57tF <
Our article was intended to put Hyde county right
before the public, and to show that the people of
Hyde proper were not untrue to the South and to
the State, and that they avery different people
from those who lived on the banks. But as that
damaging rumor was afoat and doubling some of
its particulars thought it best to notice it in or
der that it might be corrected if untrue, or if true
that 1t might be exposed.
This is no time to parley with our BASTARD des-
potic foe nor to smother up the conduct of those
who are opposed to the South among us, if there be
any, or to pander to any who from sheer fear, would
submit tamely to Lincoln. Those who are not for
US against US. That has been our position from
the first
Our friend received his information from gentle
man who attended the public meeting in Hyde
And he stated that committee of safety had been
appointed, of which perhaps, DR.. Selby was CHAIR
man. That at the before mentioned meeting, the
Doctor presented q series of resolutions from said
committee, setting forth the imminent danger of that
section, and suggesting such prudential course, as
would most likely shield them from attack in their
unarmed and deienceless condition. One of the re-
solutions was considered by some to manifest too
much Of submissive or trucking spirit, and Mr.
Beckwith denounced it as cowardly, when an alter
cation took place between him and DR.. Selby, which
was however at once suppressed by the interference
Of friends.
The resolution we assured was unacceptable
to the meeting, but no one believed for a mo-
ment that the Doctor or any one else there, was
wanting in fidelity to the South. This is just what
we believed before of the people of Hyde, as we do
OF the entire East, except those benighted people
who live on the banks and islands, who are in Pc
cularly exposed condition.
