B9~ The Charleston Courier reminds US that
the Bank of Charleston has agreed to receive at
par. from soldiers, bills of all the Banks of the
Confederate States We are glad to hear it and
pleased to acknowledge it; but still that hardly
meets the case of troops down at Coosawhatchie,
Grahansville, and other out of the way places.
We trust that things will come all right. Indeed
we have reason to believe that they already do

E19g- The Presidential Electors OF this State assem-
bled in Raleigh Wednesday last and cast the vote Of
the State for Davis and Stephens Daniel Coleman,
ESQ of Concord, selected Messenger to take
the vote to Richmond.
The Raleigh Standard recently speaking of the Elec-
tors saws eight of the twelve original secession
lists The Standard is entirely mistaken But FIVE or six
can be called original secessionsts and we think there
is some doubt about their position Strictly speaking,
not more than be called original ecessioniSts
Ncssrs Reid RodmaG, Edwards, Long and WooGhn,
and probably Mr. Bond original seccSslonlsts while
Messrs Guion Humphrey, Pool, Foster, Mckay, and
Mitchell are far from being original seccSsionsts We
think we can speak with certainty about all except
Me,srs Humphrey and Bond. So that take 1t any way
the ticket is air.one and ought satisfy tie mem
bers of the two prrtes which existed previous to LIN
coins proclamation. We suppose what Is meant by
see.ssioni is one whu favored secession imme-
iateIv after the election of Lincoln If we can
safely saw that seven of the electors are not original
secessionists We think friend OF the Standard
opcbt to be satisfied with the political complexion OF
the electoral ticket inasmuch as every man on both
tickets and all parties in the State are tor vigorous
nrosecutiou of the war till the independence OF the
Soutb i firmly established We do not think the ola
Iriop men have any cause for complaint about pro-
scrption either in the selection of Electors or men,
bers of Congress.

WRoEG.-The Raleigh Register publishes commu-

conductors on the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad had
passed a sick and wounded n. G. soldier, with his
mother that Road Free the President the Road
afterwards made the conductor pay the fare. This is
not only wrong, but it is shame The soldier was
member of Fishers Regiment and wounded at
the battle of Manassas; he returning home in
charge of his poor mother unable to help himself and
should have been passed free all Railroads
We have no doubt he was passed over the n. c..
Road, as is done in all where it is known the
soldier is without money pay his fare The Raleigh
and CASTOR Road is the only in the State that has
been penurious and illiberal towards the soldiers
