Warmer. the popular shoe dealers just above
the Post Office, have for several days past been
getting in a monster etock of boots ard ehoes
for the Fall and Winter trade. They have
purchased this stock at unprecedented lov
prices and they propose selling it At a very

their prices, we would stats that they sell

DRAFrING.-It is said that in Ohio
they begin drafting on Monday Sept. 18th. An
artillery officer arrived from st. Louis say !. that
Gen. Fremont will insist upon the adoption Of
the drafting system al over the West. unless
troops come forward and fill up the regimsnts
he needs. Iowa has not responded as prompt
~ az she ought to, to the eall made upon her.
With population of nearly 500, 1000, she has
bat six regiments 10 the field. Il :a true, that
there are several regiments 10 camp. but they
are not full,s never will be, unless change
comes over the spirit Of the people. Why il
Col. Pseessl's regiment waiting for the tenth

Why 10 he eighth regiment ineomplsss Those
regiments must be filled. Four additional reg.
imsnts are called for BY the Governor. They
must be forthcoming. Fremont watts them
and will have them. This 10 plain talk. and
every one knows what il means. Governor
Kirkwood distinctly tells 10 that il
our rsgimsnts are not filed BY volunteers
"tbsy viii be filled In . differeat manner from
that heretofore adopted" Let it not be ssid
that. With the example Of the gallant First be-

drafted and impressed into the service Of their

The old Union Men,

The Charleston Mercury has reproduced from its
columns some remarks made by COL Barlow, of
Georgia, in November last, from which we make the
following extract:
1.-The question that has divided us heretofore and
the question that divides to day, is question of
evidence to whether there is any longer any hope
of remaining in the Union without being governed
by those opposed to u.s. When this Union is no
longer true to the people of Georgia, she will stand
with South Carolina any other State in opposi-
ton to it or in defiance of it. Applause
But if you differ upon the question of evidence;
if you think that the time has come for dissolu-
ton, and if you think that your honor requires
that you should no longer submit to this Govern
ment, although we do not agree with you, let the
force approach to subdue you and pledge you fifty
thousand Georgia hearts and Georgia arms to sus-
tain you. Thunders of applause.l l pledge you
that that sentiment which you have just heard shall
be practically enforced; that whatever wounds you
touches us and that will defend South Carolina
rash though we think her-precipitate though we
deem her. and we will defend her with all the energy
and courage with which an elder brother would
throw his arms around younger one. Al plause.l
No man shall hurt you but through US; no man in
suit you without insulting us. And if you choose
to do so without consulting US, you have the power
of precipitating US into any kind of revolution
that you choose" [Applause.l
The above embodies in better terms than We
could command, the views and feelings of the old
Union men Of this State. Barlow died gloriously
the field of Manassa at the head of his regiment,
which reflected by its yalor additional lustre on the
name of Georgia The Charleston Mercury has
pronounced the highest eulogiums on his character.
He did not prefer disunon, but when it was forced
upon him, he met it like man, and gave his life
freely in defence of his native South

Cant. Wilson. of AIamance.

We find in the last Hillsborough Recorder, a let
ter from Capt. James W. Wilson, of Alamance,
from which we make the following extract:
In the Standard l notice a letter from Capt
York, which does not give justice to the company
from the Hawfelds, which have the pleasure to
command; and write to-day to ask you in YOUR
next editorial to make a statement for them. In
addition to the two companies that charged upon
Sherman's battery, under their brave commanders,
Capts. Avery and Kirkland, the writer neglects to
add the one from Hawfelds This company fought
bravely through the entire battle, was in the charge
upon the battery, and even went beyond it, and at
night as large proportion as from any other COM
pany followed in the pursuit / can say this with
out any egotsm, as the company was under tho
command OF my most efficient first Lieut.. Carter"
We are satisfied that Capt York did not intend to
do the slightest injustice to the Hawfields company
He had left blank in his letter, after mentioning
several companies, hoping doubt before he closed
his letter, to obtain the names of TIE other compa
mics that charged upon the battery. In publishing
the letter we closed up this blank.
Capt. Wilson has returned home on leave, on ac-
count of serious indisposition- of the
lungs. We hope soon to hear of his restoration to
health. He is every way worthy of the men under
his command, who bore so gallant part in the great
battle which laid permanently the foundations of
Southern independence.

Onr Coast Defences.

The last Newbern Progress sounds the alarm
about the sea-coast 1t speaks warmly of the i'm
portance of providing fully for its defence The de-
claratOns of the Northern press and of abolition
Senators in the Rump Congress- show as the Pro-
gres thinks that they have their eyes on our coast
We are glad somebody IS stirred. We have done
our duty our Generals have done theirs and if our
coast Is seriously assailed and the enemy should
gam any advantage over us the people will know
where to fix the blame. We are glad to know that
UoV. Clark is deeply interested in the security and
protection of our coast he is in the general well
fare of the State President Davis we learn is also
looking to that quarter with interest, and soon we
Shall be ready fer the invader. When we saw Gen.
UWynn last, we know he deeply interested in his
command, and is now doing his whole duty.

CoRN.-This article is selling in Chicago at cts.
per bushel-in lower Illinois, at 12I cts.-in Char
lotte, N. c., at 60 cts.-at Newborn, 40 cts.-at
Washington, 80 cts.-in Warren, 40 cts, and yet
in Raleigh the price is 81 cts Meal sells out of the
shops at 81. Why is this? Our people, many of
them, poorly able to pay exorbtant prices for
provisions other people, and yet the rule appears
to be, to ask all you get and sellers generally
get what they ask. The Newbern Progress says if
Lincoln's blockade continues until January, corn
will sell there at 90 cts. per bushel Flour is sell
ing in Charlotte at 81 SO to SIS, and in Raleigh at
from Sc 80 to S.. At this rate one-half of our
people had better remove to Charlotte and the 9TH
er half TO Newbern.

BLoCKADE.-It is alleged that the blockade of our
ports by Lincoln is pretence, and so far as some
ports are concerned, is sham. 1t is said that
shipping has had ingress and egress at Beaufort,
Wilmington, and Charleston, under British colors,
most of the time. Confederate vessels from those
ports have been going to with naval stores cot
ton, &C., at different times This latter statement,
if true is in direct violation of law. The Confed-
crate Government some time ago, declared naval
stores, cotton &C., contraband, q. they not
to be shipped in any way so as to allow the posi-
blity of their falling into the hands of the Yankees
From the intimations thrown out in some quarters,
we should not be surprised if Southern merchants
have been furnishing these articles to the Yankees
under British colors. Naval stores are high in the
Northern ports, and cotton commands 16 cts. read
lily in New York. The temptation is strong one,
but every violation of the law should be punished
promptly. We are glad to find that shippers in the
Gulf States have resolved to ship nothing until the
blockade is broken up. This is the only proper
course.

Lincoln's rule. Two companies have been raised at
Paducah for the Confederate army.
WAR NEws.-The most important news received
yesterday related to the evacuation of Newport

A Song for the Southern Confederacy.
AIR-"ET,ER OF THEE"
by EOLNE.


Sons of the South their courage revealing,
Bravely arise their country to shield;
Nor do they fear, though loud notes are peang
For all nerved with power the they will WELD.
On her blest soil true hearts are beating
Still TO defend their dear native land:
All, speed the day when dark clouds rctreatinQ
She first IN the train of victory shall stand.
FIRM and united the South ever will be
"Dstuct as tine pillows, yet one as the sea-"
Proudly unfuried her banner is waving-
Deeds of her sons it ever will tell;
Under IFS folds onward they are saving
The hearth side and homes where freedom shall dwell;
Then, once again let our pledges be given
Her rights alone to cherish, or diei
All, still We know trust is in Heaven,
And liberty soon to rescue will hy.
Land of the free, pride is in thee
"Disnct as the pillows, yet one as the sea-"
For our loved South our hearts still bounding,
FOndest devotion TO her we will give;
And let the hills, the echo resembling,
Join in the chorus for her to live;
Guard and protect her tme-tested altar,
Wreath her with honor, glory, and fame
All, may the brave sons of the South ne er falter,
Long to defend their country and name!
Raise aloud the notes of the free
"DistInct as the pillows, yet one, as the sea-"

POWDER AND LEAD.-We are glad to learn that
Gov. Clark is directing his attention and the atten-

constituents of powder, so necessary in this crisis
We have frequently called attention to this subject
Every element of defence and of wealth exists in
this State and all that is needed is scientific nvesti-
cation and the fostering hand of government The
value of the services of such man as Prof EN-.
mons, at time like this, cannot be overstated but
if the advice of shortsighted politicians had been
taken, his Office would have been abolished and his
services lost to the State. We glad that he has
chosen to remain among US. In doing so he doubt
less follows the bent of his feelings, for he is
true patriot as we'll as thoroughly informed chem
list and geologist.

A Commemorate is with the greatest pleasure
we state upon the authority Of the Wilmington
Journal, that Gen. Loring is a native born North
Carolinian, having first seen the light in the good
old town of Wilmington. The Journal also assures
US that Gen. Holmes is a recognized Brigadier Cen
eral of the Confederate Army and the Fayetteville
Observer says that Gen. Hill is also. All right.
We are surprised that we had seen no such recog-
milton before. We have repeatedly said that we
have entire confidence in President Davis. He is
evidently the man for the crisis. But we supposed
as general rule, appointments are made by him at
the suggestion of others. We thought the claims
of those men, as usual with North Carolinians, had
been overlooked. We are glad to find it is not the
case

The Journal will find very few to sympathise with
it in its offensive remarks. The Generals preach

we thought that Mr.. Fulton some time ago spoke of
applying for Chaplaincy? Both of the first named
papers speak of the recognition of Gen. Hill as a
Brigadier General by the Confederate government
We have seen nothing like it.
