The GLORIOUS OLD NORTH STATE.-Let no one
henceforth apply the term " Rip Van Wrinkle" to Old
North Carolina. II she slumbered or seemed to
slumber her Southern post for few years, she is
nov not only wide awake, but has very distinct
and keen recollection of the wrongs and injuries she
has suffered all the WHILE in common with her South
ern sister States. To her lasting credit and honor
be spoken upon this sectional controversy, North
Carolina of all the border slave States, has been the
promptest in action though the most modest in pre-
tension. Three months ago she declared her anx-
ety to preserve the Union and in illustration of her
sincerity she agreed to accept the Crittenden pro-
position as basis Of the settlement of all questions
in dispute between the North and South. At the
same time she declared that attempt to coerce any
Southern State into submission to the Federal au-
thority would be viewed and met by her declara
ton of war. When Lincolns proclamation came
out calling for seventy-ve thousand troops to SUBJ
ugate the seeding Southern States North Carolina
true to her word of admonition to the North and of
promise to the South, declared as one man for a
separation from the Federal Union. She re.assem-
bled her Legislature at the earliest possible moment
That body called Convention with the least pos
able delay. The election of members of the Con-
vention was held on Monday, the 18th instant. The
Convention met at Raleigh on Monday last the goth
inst, and Immediately ratified the previous action of
the Legislature and the people, by passing the Ord-
nance of Secession by unanimous vote. In her
military, too, she has been equally prompt having,
in the brief space Of five weeks captured every Fed
era post within her limits, and called together a
very formidable army Of the very best MATERIAL

MR. EDITOR: In his "Salutatory in the State
Journal of last Saturdays ISSUE Mr. Robinson uses
the following language:
in appointments to Office at the present time the
State must bring into its service the best talents and
purest patriotism The machinery of our army and
treasury is complex and perplexing, and much OF
our success will depend on the manner ip which the
affairs of those departments are administered. We
think the people are willing to leave these things in
the hands OF the appointing power and it is only
when that power is fagrantly abused or unjustly
censured that we will feel at liberty to interfere
We haze no desire to conceal ho,eerer, that zoe think
1T the duty Of that poacer, heneuer erercised to
member those men soho haze long la6ored to place
the State in its present position"
From this We are to infer that it will be the poll
cy Of the appointing power to place in office those
who claim to be the original Secessionists Up to.
and for some weeks after the February election
than .wothirds of the people of North Carolina were
what was then known as Union men, Since the
proclamation of Lincoln men of all political anitles
have protested to bury party, and all unite in one
determined effort to resist Lincoln and his accom-
plices; and the former Union men have stepped for
ward and volunteered, more than two to one of the
former Secessionsts in defence of the rights
OF the South But MIR. Robinson presumptuously re-
marks, that the State must "brng into service the
best talent and purest patriotism" and that "those
who have labored so long to place the State in her
present position" must be remembered" by the
appointing power"
There now, former Union men, you have it; Mr..
Robinson says you do possess either the talent"
or patriotism to render you worthy of being
membered" by the appointing power" when an
Office Of honor is to be bestowed You will do very
we'll to serve in the ranks of the army but the zap
pointing power" must say who your head officers
shall be. Twothrds of the people of the State must
be excluded, and the onethird, composed of such
men as Robinson, Spelman and my dear Lewis"
must monopolize all the offices in the gift of the
appointing power"
II this is to be the policy of the appointing pow
err" land infer from the tone of its organ that it
is tobe then appeal to the former Union men tore
sistsuch handed assumption such arrogant and
tyranical use of little brief authority" Let the
attention of the Convention now in session, be d.
rected to these things.
No one deplores more than the writer of this, the
engenderug of party feeling at this crisis but when
the organ of the appointing power" tells the form
er Union men that they ought not to have, need
expect any appointments of honor, then as native
North Carolinian, and former Union man, 1 will
raise my voice against the carrying out of such pro-
scriptve programme. JUSTICE.

AN ADDRESS.

AN ADDRESS,
Made by R. K. WILLIAMS, to his Felloo-Soldiers,
on the ece Of learning for Virginia.
PUBLISHED BY REQUEST OF THE coMPANY.l
Fslloac. Soldiers Vain and abortive would prove
the attempt had the temerity to dare it. to express
the feelings of pleasure and emotions of delight
that feel in addressing you the present occasion.
1t evokes the ghost Of the past and pictures once
more before my mental vision an undying lustre,
scenes which the hoary headed despot, time, was
seeming to render dim and obscure. While / cast
my eyes around and view the picturesque scenery
of the camp fires, my heart swels with feelings of
proud defiance to Abe Lincoln's hired hordes. 1t
beats with determination to sound the death.k nell
within their midst, and cause them to make an ig-
nominious retreat. .4-- .-...s.. h.
On Monday evening the booming of cannon an
nounced to us that North Carolina was no longer
under the iron rule of black Republicans that she
had shaken off the shackles of abolition thraldom-
had asserted her rights and her honor Such intel
ligence sent to our hearts "glad tidings of great
Joy" To-day We are free and independent people.
To-day North Carolina has placed her destiny beside
and with that of her sister States of the South.
And we, as common soldiers will defend her free
dom and independence until it is proclaimed to the
world spill the last drop of blood that courses
through our veins in the attempt Our motto will
be freedom or death. Fighting for principle land
not for booty and beauty we will know no fear,
save that of God; and with his Divine word i'm.
pressed upon our hearts, and Southern steel in our
hands, victory will be ours
And now, fellow-soldiers let our acts be such as
will be handed down to posterity with honor and
glory. Let US recolect that there is mighty enc
my within our midst as well as black Republican
foe to contend with. Need inform you who that
I enemy be? 1t is King Alcohol, that mighty foe,
who has sent more men to the grave than all the
wars in the world. Let us shun him; let our motto
be Temperance and obedience" as we'll as "free-
dom or DEATH" Yes, see the determination in the
countensnce of every member Of the Dupn Rifle
men to gain honors wherever they 60, and crown
their brow with laurels. They will write their
names high upon the temple Of fame and when vic.
tory is ours, and peace proclaimed we will return

own us as sons and brothers.

County Union Convention.

The Union Convention, on Tuesday,
was very largely attended. Every
township except Letart, we believe, was
fully represented. We were present
only a few moments, but, so far as we
saw, or heard, the proceedings were
harmonious. Of course, as in all other
Conventions, many did not get their first
choice in every instance. But we have
heard of no serious diss abstraction.
The ticket will be found at the head
of our columns, and will be elected, as a
matter Of course. They are all s ood
men, and will fill their several positions
with fidelity. We regret that the Union
of parties could not have been complete
so as to present an unbroken front to
the enemy But this was rendered i'm
possible by the issuing of a call by the
Democratic Central Committee for 9
partisan Convention in opposition to the
"Union" movement.
IF those who went into the movement
for "Union, act in good faith, the
majority will be very large. IF not, the
movement will have no real significance,
and parties will stand much as hereto,
fore. We have no right to distrust
any party, and will not do>so, but leave
all to be judged by the result. The
Republicans could have nominated ano
elected a partisan ticket by an over
whelming majority. They chose te
forego this advantage for the sake of Sc
curing the cooperation Of others in the
maintenance of the Constitution. w,
trust their liberality will not be wholly
in vain. The vote at the election will

Who Killed Col. Lowe.

In the telegraphic column will be
found an account of fight between
Gen. Rosecrans and Floyd, in which
Rosecrans was victorious, but in whic b
Col. Lowe, of Ohio, was killed. And
the question is, who killed him? I'm
doubtedly it was ball from an enemy s
gun which did it. But We honestly be-
lieve it was the lying correspondents Of
the Cincinnati papers which drove him
into the position.
With utter recklessness, and disre-
gard alike Of decency and truth, certain
papers charged, not only incompe-
tency, but cowardice upon the Col, in
the conflict at Scary. Having no means
like these slanderers, Of reaching the
public by words, he determined to do ii
by deeds, and with desperate bravery
led the van in this fight. The conse
quence is, that he is killed. The coun.
try has lost a good officer and brave
soldier, and the very papers which
hunted him to death, are now rackins
their brains for terms of eulogy ovel
the fallen hero!
