UNION MEETING IN ORANGE. -

According to previous notice. portion of the cit
izens of 0raDge met the 18th inst at the school
I house at Pleasant Plains
" On motion of Mr.. Barbee the meeting was organ
lied by calling R. Cook, ESQ, to the Chair, and ap-
pointing j. A. Barbee Secretary.
The President on taking the chair, returned his
thanks to the meeting for the honor conferred, and
stated that be for the Union as long as it can
be maintained That when we break up the gov
eminent we must plunge into anarchy and confusion.
Governments are not to be torn down in haste;
they not toys for children to play with; they
not made in a day, and we may do IN a day what
we shall regret and our children after for hun
dreds of years If we dissolve the future is dark
and uncertain We know not nor can we know
where revolution will end. We have met to express
our preference for candidate to represent in
Congress; let US be careful and that we select
one who can be relied on for prudence and ability.
On motion, committee of three was appointed
to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the
meeting 90 .. .. H.r
During the absence of the committee the meeting
was addressed by Mr.. A. NJ Herndon, urging IN
patriotic STYLE to lay aside all party preudices and
be known only as Union and disunion, for this, is
the real ISSUE Tremendous interests are at stake,
and in the next session of Congress these national
difficulties must be settled, and ought to have
Representative who is true to the Union. He ex-
pressed the opinion that if these matters were left
entirely to the people, they would select men who
love their country and would settle all these diff
cultes. ........ ..... ..'.... --.t
The committee made the following report:
WHEREAS The present crisis demands the utmost
exerons of the friends of the Union of the States,
which has so long dispensed its blessings over
happy land; and whereas, we desire to see these
difficulties peaceably settled,
ResOlred, That in our humble opinion this is
time to array party feelings and regard him who
would now raise the demon Of party strife an en-
envy to the best interests Of his country
ReSoIred, That we believe the real issue at this
time to be Union dsunon, and we shall act there
on regardless of former party ties.
Resolred, That we are opposed to any convention
to nominate a candidate, and suggest to the people
that they hold meetings and give utterance to their
opinions and preferences.
ReSOLUed, That we express our preference for
candidate by ballot, as in the Wake County mass
meeting
On motion, they were unanimously adopted.
The chair then ordered ballot, which resulted
largely in favor of H. w. Miller, of Wake, few
votes being given for NJ. Branch.
On notion the proceedings were ordered to be
sent to the Hillsboro Recorder and Raleigh Banner,
with the request that the Standard and Register
copy.
On motion, the meeting adjourned

FEMALE STRATAGEM AGAINST lNDIANs.-The follow
ing account of female GOODNESS and courage is from
the Waterford (Texas) News: 1.-The party of In
dams who passed through Jack Parker and Palo
Pinto Counties, last week, marking their way with
desolaton and striking terror to the stOutest hearts,
drew up in front Of the residence of Mr. Eubanks in
Palo County, and were holding parley, and, no
doubt, forming plan to attack the house. There
was not a man on the premises at the time. Mrs.
Eubanks her daughter and several little children,
were alone The yard was inclosed with pickets
aboutsix feet high. Miss Mary Eubanks, the daughter
with unequalled presence of mind for so young,
seized shotgun, put on her brothers hat, and
placed bench near the picketng so as to peep over
without exposing her body, and then deliberately
fired at the party which stratagem and heroic con-
duct doubtless saved her own life, and the lives of
her mother and her little brothers and sisters the
cowardy scamps Immediately fled, no doubt believ-
ing the house was defended by body of armed
men,"

The CHATHAM RAILRoAD.-At a meeting of the
Commissioners of Raleigh held on Wednesday night
Mr.. Richardson Of the Commissioners, in the
Western Ward, offered the following:
Be it Ordained, That poll be opened in the City
of Raleigh on Monday the 18th day of April next

the amount of $4,000. The said subscription to
be made by the issue Of the coupon bonds of the
City Of Raleigh bearing interest att rate not exceed
ing per cent. per annum The amount of bonds
issued shall be sufficient to cover the above sub
scription of $50 000 with such an additional amount
as will pay the interest said subscription until an
amendment can be made to the present charter of
the City, by which sufficient amount can be raised
by taxation to ensure the punctual payment Of said
interest and to create sinking fund looking to the
ultimate redemption of the principle.
Should the voters of the City decide to make the
above subscription, the Mayor shall advertise for
sealed proposals. to be opened in the City Of Raleigh

P. Battle, Esq, for legal opinion, and made the
special order for a called meeting at some future
time.
If our City, under its charter, has authority to
make the proposed subscription doubt not it will
be made. The proposed road is an important one
to Raleigh and citizens should bestir themselves
We shall anxiously await the opinion of the City
Attorney, aud implicitly rely upon it'd Halorem

The JEWS BET.-Under this heading the follow
ing is given in one of our foreign papers: "a Jew
in a tavern, in the town of Endngen, saw a mer-
chant whom he seemed to recognize. Are you not
one of the good men with whom had the pleasure
OF travelling from Basel to Strasburg on the RhincT
The merchant assented, and asked, Have you, my
felow-traveler, since we met, done much trade ~
The jew, instead of answering asked: Did you
make good speculation at the fair? If so, should
like to propose bet to you; that is, bet you can
not repeat three words after me as | say them
The merchant, thinking that few pence, more or
less, would make no difference to him. replied: Say
on The Jew said cutler The merchant replied
cutler Next bagpipe,' and 'Sagpipe was re-
sponded. The Jew smiled, and said wrong. The
merchant, puzzled, bethought himself where the
mistake could be; but the Jew, taking a piece of
chalk out of his pocket made a stroke, and said
'one sixpence for me- Again the Jew commenced,
and said olive OIL The merchant said olive OIL
Tanner Tanner The Jew smiled again, and
said wrong And so on to the sixth time, when
the merchant said: Now will pay you if you can
show me how was wrong The Jew said: You
never said the third word wrong-and according
ly won the bet The merchant paid, and the Jew
made money as he went along"

MOB VIOLENCE is a melancholy fact that
larger amount of mob violence has been developed in
Virginia since the secession movement began than
in the whole previous lifetime of the State There
has been manifested an intolerance of spirit never
before known; and what is more, such intolerance
is evidently on the increase, and surely bodies no
good to law and order, and to the peace and pros
perity of the citizens of the State Andif not check
ed and repressed and that without delay it will lead
to riot revolution and frateInal bloodshed. For
we have uniformly counseled forbearance tolera
ton, ard kindness the part of all our people, no
matter how widely different arc the great questions
at issue, and we renew to day our earnest invoca-
tons upon this point. We call upon the real and
substantial people to set their faces against the dis
order, violence, and anarchy which the Precpita-
tionists seem bent on introducing throughout the
State for the ballotbox is the appropriate legal and
peaceful remedy for all political ills and grievances
real or imaginary. In place of the order and de-
corum heretofore prevailing in nearly all assemble
ges of Virginia freemen wild and truculent spirit
of violence and anarchy regns supreme. We under.
take to say that it is all owing to the intolerant and
despotic spirit manifested by the advocates of i'm
mediate secession. Weagain entreat that calmness,
courtesy, and respect for law, order, and decency
may prevail in the assemblages of the Virginia peo-
ple.-Ricbnond Wig.

Mr.. EDITOR: Il sent this letter to Mr. Cooley, and
he declined publishing it. Then to Mr. Heartt and
he also declined Now try the Standard can't
say much in praise of the press which only gives
one side of the question. Mr.. Cooley published
letter intended for him alone and not for the pub
lie and when sent him one for the public he would
not publish it. He tells me in his paper am "a
considerable man.! That's more than can say for
him. He is inconsiderate and silly, and if Mr.
Heartt would publish it would write -
He says had "as much right to open mans
pocketbOOk as his paper" I see mighty great diff
ference and the who don't see 1t is as likely to
do one as the other. He says | "ignorantly or
wickedy and maliciously misrepresent him" Can
| do that when he has settled opinion on any
question except secession and disunion? He saws

opinion Of me, but l am thinking the reading public
are fast making up the same mind of him.
Ny neighborS, Mr.. Cooley, allow me to read their
papers, and they read mine. Many of them think
you had as well send them blank sheet as your
"PlGindealer"' Next Friday will be the election,
and the vote at Miles will tell you what the people
in this neighborhood think of your paper and your
principles. They remember that speech of Nh
Rhett's you published and thought so much Of
Mr.. Rhett said, "the Southern Confederacy ought
to be property holding Confederacy. 1t is not an
experiment that free government should exist in
property uOlunS cOunlTleS out IL IS an experiment
to maintain free government with universal suf-
frage" / think am able to prove that you said
'some poor people have too many privileges, and
that men should vote according to their property"
No wonder you calling for subscribers. Such
sentiments won't do. Besides, you print vulgar
stories in your paper, such as decent people don't
like to read. That story you published two or
three months ago. about Kissing in the play" was
calculated to lose you all your subscribers where
there was grown lady in the family
My business is not to write, and no doubt, Mr..
Cooley, like you, have made poor out at it. The
public, you know, are forgivng, and as they have to
forgive you every week for bad principles badly
pressed and worse spelt have no doubt they will
forgive me this first and last appearance.
Respectfully, WILSON BROWN
P S-MARCH 16. The election is over Mr.
Cooley's disunon candidates, two of our most pop
uar men, received one of them four votes the other
one, at this precinct That's what my neighbors
think of your paper. WILSON BROWN

VINO SAW THE STEER THE richest thing of the
season. says the Newburyport Herald, came of the
other day in the neghborhood Of the market The
grecnest Jonathan Imaginable, decked out in SLOUGH
ed hat, long blue frock, and pair of cowhde
shoes, as big as gondolas, with huge whip under
his arm, staked into billiard saloon, where half
dozen persons improving the time in trundling
round the worries; and after recovering from his first
surprise at the Ito hm) singular aspect of the room,
inquired if any of EN- had stray steer affirm
ing that the blasted critter got away he came
through town with his drove tother day. and hadn't
seen nothin' of him since" The bloods denied all
knowledge of the animal in question: and with much
sly winking at each other proceeded to condole with
bin on his loss in the most heartfelt manner. He
watched the game with much interest as he had
evidently nor heard of anything of the
kind before, and created much amusement by his
demonstrations of applause when a good shot was
made" Jarusacm :" being favorite ejaculation.
At last he made bold to request the privilege of try
ing his SKILL when he set the crowd in roar by his
awkward movements. However, he gradually got
his hand IN, and played good might be expected
for greenhorn. All hands now began to praise
him. which so elated him that he actually began to
think himself second Phelan and he offered to bet
a dollar with his opponent which, of course he lost
The loss and the laugh so irritated him that he
offered to play another game and bet two dollars,
which he pulled ont Of big roll-for it seems his
cattle had sold well, and he was quite flush. This
bet he also lost, as the fool might have known ne
would; mad as March hare he pulled out a fifty
spot the largest bill he had and offered to bet that
on another game. The crowd mustered round and
raised money enough to it, and at it they went
again; by some strange turn of luck, greeny won
lie now offered TO put up the hundred he had won
against another hundred game, so they could now
win back what they had lost and fleece the fellow Of
his own roll besides. They sent for famous
PLAYER who haG happened to have money enough
to bet with, and another game was played, which
Jonathan bet and won. Another hundred was also
raised and won and it was not until he had blum
dered through half dozen games, and by some
unaccountable run of luck, won them all, drained
the pockets of his opponents of about four hundred
dollars, so that they began to smell very large
mice" When everybody got tired of playing,
gawky pulled his frock over his head, took his whip
under his arm, and walked quietly out, turning
round at the door, and remarking, Gentlemen, if
you should happen to see anything of that steer,
| wish you would let me know" At last accounts
they had not seen the steer, but they had come to
the conclusion that they saw the elephant.

b; HENRY w. MILLER, or WAKE
Ms. EDIToR: Esee good deal now in the papers
relative to Mr.. Milers running for Congress, and
think he will give entire satisfaction ia Orange coun-
ty as much so as any other lDsM We certainly
need one OF our ablest men to represent us. am
entirely opposed to bringing out young men of ordi
nary talent in this awful crisis and if you knew the
sentiments OF the people generally, you would find
out that they are opposed to it too. They want
man known to all and one too Of known ability and
whose record on the Union question is without spot
or blemsh. Now, permit me to say, that | think
Mr. Miller eminently suited to fill this high position
for ne certainly has very few superiors in ability
oratory, or craftsmanship. Nor has he been boring
the people for Office for think he has run but two
or three times in his life for any Office and in all his
speeches, there breathes strong devotion to Con-
Stltutlona Union. He cherisbes still the teachings
of Henry Clay, to this Union as the great
treasure house of all our blessings Mr.. Miller,
humbly believe, would do every thing in his power
to preserve the Union for that purpose he left the
old Wing party to which he was united by ties only
less holy than those that bound him to the Union
thought very hard of him at the time but believe
he did it from the purest of motives. With all his
services and labors, he has reaped nothing. eau
cuses and conventions have put forward ambitious
demagogueS, while such mer as he have been left
to languish in obscurity; they have passed by the
true men and brought out those who abored for
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and not for the good of
the people.
Another thing, the people every where are saying
why is it, that Henry w. Miller who stands so high
has never been brought forward? They often ask why
it is that in this contest for the supremacy of the
laws and Constitution he is called of our ables
men? So he is
These are questions, Mr.. Editor that may be an

it will take a smarter man than Mr. Miller to con.

talents and services. | have no doubt but that Mr.
Miller is the choice of the people for Congress.

who earnestly desire to vote for him as an act JUS
