The Standard.--Our Correspondence.
We must take the time to acknowledge our in
debtedness to our friends all over the State, who
continue to send us new subscribers and renewals.
We hope they will continue to back up our efforts
in this way. .s.
We are gratifed to find that the Standard was
never more popular in the State than now. Our
full reports of the doings of the Convention, by
excellent reporter, J. H. Moore Esq, give it adli
tonal interest
1t gives US unmingled satisfaction also to know
and believe, that our course, dictated only by an
honest and sincere desire to promote the true inter-
ests of North Carolina to unite and harmonize all
parties, if forced to separation, upon and only
one patriotic, oneplank platform-that Of ofaefendng
to the last extremity North Carolina and tie whole
South against the invasion of a common foe-meets
with the appreciation and endorsement of many of
the wisest and best men as well the great masses
Of the honest people of North Carolina.
We ask the indulgence of our friends for the use
Of the following extracts from private letters recev
ed within few days.
A friend from Davidson County, writes as follows:
"The conservative Union men of all parties in this
county are rejoiced at your recent triumph. Veal
heartily approve of your course throughout our
troubles; and though once denounced as 'submis
sionists and aboltionists' &c. we will and do sus-
tain you in your frm dignifed and patriotic oppo
sition to Lincolns tyranica usurpatons and aggres
sions

An Old Line Democrat Of high, position, intelli-
gence and singular consistency, after aludng to our
own course and making sundry excellent suggestions
as to the course the Convention should pursue says:
at is the last occasion in the world for avoritism
or personal preferences and if any thing of that sort
is seen in the measures of the present ad-
mntration, the Convention ought to apply the cor.

That is sound doctrine. 1t is good, genuine Dem
ocratic doctrine and it is good, genuine Wing doc
trine. None will deny it. and the nerve and the pa
triotism Of the Convention must carry 1t out.

Mr.. EDITOR: We have heard the report that
Gov Ellis had requested the ladies of Raleigh to
make the tents for of the companies of the 1st
Regiment, and they refused to do so. We also saw
something to that effect in one of the newspapers,
and in Gov. Ellis visit to Richmond, he requested
the ladies there to make the tents Had he reques-
ted it of us, we would have made them with pleas
ure. We feel as if we cannot do too much for the
noble souls that have got to fight for us, and for
their rights. 1t is, indeed, Notifying and humia
ting 10 us to think the ladies of Virginia, who are
pressed with work, should have to do that which
the ladies of our State ought to do. Our hearts
respond to the noble work in which they are en-
gagged and we are perfectly willing to do our share
Of the work. and we judge the other ladies' by our
selves. We only wish to contradict that report,
and hope no one will think US SO ungrateful

their arms at their own expense if necessary, and
would have been ready to join the first Regiment

WILMINGTON, n. c., Nav %.


Mr. EDITOR The dispatch on the bulletin board
of the Journal office announced this morning at IL
o'clock, that jefferson Davis, our President would
pass through, on his way to Richmond, at two. As
soon as the news was put out, it shot through the
whole town like whirlwind, and in less time than
ten minutes, old men, young men, old ladies, young
ladies' children and servants, all went vending their
way to the depot l think to-day will record one
of the largest assemblages ever seen in Wilmington
On any occasion. Just as soon as the boat touched
the wharf huzzas began. To attempt to describe
the interesting just here would be only slight
indication of what meant for my feeble pen has not
strength enough. 1 believe every one enjoyed a
warm grasp of our Presidents hand After success
sive calls re-echoing from thousands Of voices, our
President arose. and just here, Mr.. Editor, is
another break down in your correspondent; for
never in all my life heard such an eloquent speech
come from man. There is that determination and
frmness in his speech which is seldom, if ever seen
in speakers His speech was not. lengthy, but
"short and sweet" At the close of his remarks,
he introduced Wigfall, Of Texas, to the crowd who
addressed them in warm and stirring manner
The cars bore away one who will ever live in the
proud remembrance of the Wilmingtonians with
affection and devotion. WORRELL.

The Confederate States.

The government has transferred its departments
and bureaus to Richmond. COL Memmenger, Sec
retary of the Treasury is said to be there. Pres-
dent Davis and his family will be there this week,
and the other heads of departments will soon fol-
low. The movement is a good one. The presence
Of Mr.. Davis in virginia inspire our troops with
greater courage, and his skill in military strategy
will greatly intimdate 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
arc to be let loose upon our unoending population,
" Is time that every man had buckled on his armor,

Wilmington Correspondence.

WILMINGTON, n c., May 26.
Mr. EDITOR: The cry is still they come" Men,
women and children are running to meet them.
For the past three days companies from various
points south have been passing through, route for
Virginia. Our girls and not only girls, but ladies,
greet them as they arrive with arms full of hand
some boquets.
Wilmington is destined in some future day, and
soon, to become large commercial city. l really
believe that this war 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 one of the largest
manufacturing cities in America In less than twelve
months we will have direct trade with Europe.
Merchants here, some of whom l 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
1t will make men who are now worth hundreds,
thousands and those who are worth thousands, mil
lions Our energies are already aroused, and the
work has been commenced in Wilmington.

The Regi.ter and the state Journal.

We ind nothing in the last issues of those lovely
and loving twin brothers, worthy of our notice, or
that we care to waste-our precious time in anmad-
verting upon. All our time is engrossed between
the proper conduct of the Standard and our duties
in the Convention. At so momentous crisis III
the affairs of the State and the South, we have no
inclination to disturb our personal foes by any
verify or sharp retort upon either the sophomore
sentimentalism Of the Register, the English dull
ness and Irish bald-wit and blarney of the State
Journal, or the malicious quarrelsomeness of the
trio. To write them down would be little labor to
us but it would bring to us less honor; to initiate
their malice would be dishonorable to us and Of
profit to our readers; and to drive them from the
field would deprive their readers of repast, of
which, perhaps, few p would complain.
Taking counsel, our own patrons of
ing demands upon our time in other and better en-
poy, we sha for the present at least cease to no.
tice their personal malicious revilings.

for Abraham Lincoln, dead or alive"
Would it not answer better purpose and be
equally patriotic, to raise $4,000 to equip and furn-
ish two good Flying Artillery Companies? The
State needs them, and the trio will be more uneasy

Coop BUrrER.-Good butter is always in de-
mand We believe no portion of America can pro-
duce better butter than in the mountains and hill
country of North Carolina. Will not our people in
that region turn their attention to it? We copy
from the Spirit Of the Age the following excellent
suggestions:
1--WE offer the following directions hop to put up
Butter-that will keep, and sell for the best price
Butter when taken from the churn should not be
washed in water, nor drop-of water touch it, nor
the hand-recolect that, instead Of the hand, use
small paddle; put in a clean vessel, and with
wooden paddle work out the butter milk thoroughly,
salt sufficiently and put in vessel which shall be
alright. When enough is made at one time to fill
package fill it to the top, full there will be no
space between the head and butter. The frkin"
in common use is fit only to spoil butter, not pre-
serveit. The vessel for packing should be made Of
post or white oak red oak is acid) in bafrelshape,
having small bulge, with tightly fitting head at
each end that will exclude air and water when
closed The packages may be made to hold %, 30,
100 pounds or any convenient quantity. But al
ways bear in mind, that air and wGter, will spoil
butter"
NORTH CARoINA-The Greensborough Patriot
says: .r..i.l. % ~
with the Standard we insist that North Caro-
lima has acted wisely, from first to last and as she
made good her declaration Of May Goth, 1775, we
have the most entire confidence in her determination
and her ability, to make good her declaration Of
May 2Oth, 1861. Her people are unit, and anima-
ted with q spirit that can never be subducd. The
deed is done. The time ior talking has passed

that his services are called for and let every man

To The Senate yMe State Of Indiana:
In answer to your resolution of ycster-

have the honor to submit the following
statements:
Under the Six Rrganeat hill have
placed Ia camp and organised five regi-
ments of infantry. l AM also organizing

On the fourteenth day of May instant. i

to serve three years. or until discharged.
Under the authority conferred upon the

Hon. Robert Dale Owen.

We learn from the Indiana Journal that
Gov. Morton has appointed Robert Dale
Owen. late Minister to Naples. an agent to
go to Europe to buy arms for the State.
This selection, remarks the Journal, will
be pronounced eminently eft to be made"
Mr.. Owen is a man whose integrity has
never been questioned in thirty years Of
partizan strife. and his ability is attested
by o worldwide reputation in literature
and philosophy. He is widely acquainted
in Europe. speaks nearly all the tongues
spoken there. is familiar with European
life and business. and is man of the most
untiring energy. To our mind he is the
very man for the duty. and he enters on il
with all the zeal for which he is SO we'll
known. ~
Will not this appointment take the wind
out Of the sails of the ohm Walker school
Of Democrats who are endeavo:ing to make
it appear that Gov. Morton is influenced
in the appointment Of military officers by
partizan motives. and threaten that if this
rule is adopted they will stand aloof and
let the Republicans DO all the ighting?-
Ii the Democrats here are sample o
the rest in other places. the Republicans
may as well make up their minds to dc
about all the lighting in any contingency
They can and will do it if necessary. AL
we ask of the Democrats is to keep still
| anil not furnish their rebel friends in th'
South with more aid and comfort than thel
have been doing. and we will soon settl
the hash for the traitors. They claim t
be Union men. but are not disposed jus
now 70 aid in saving it from overthrow
and destruction. merely because they wer
beaten at the last Presidential election
Such patriotism is not skin deep, accordin;
to GU, notion; but let them rip, the day Q
reckoning will soon roll round.
