The truth appears to be difficult to hear eve" a

Gen. Cadwaader or both, for the accounts are con-
fused, crossed the Potomac near Williamsport last
week. Col. Jackson on our side commanding an ad-
yanced guard of Gen. Johnston's forces, attacked
the advanced guard of the enemy but was forced to
retire before an overwhelming power. The enemy
took possession of Martinsburg. Gen. Johnston was
in that neghborhood, and it was expected he would
attack the enemy The loss on either side seems to
have been small.
A skirmish took place near Newport News, on
Thursday night last The enemy fred upon our

Party Spirit.

'.I - -
We observe that the Treasurer Of the North Car
DINA Railroad has published in the Register and
State Journal, Of this place, a notice of the next
annual meeting Of the Stockholders of the Road!
No such publication has been requested in the
Standard. We do not complain of this, for we are
able to live without the patronage of our enc
mics, but we refer to it to show the !" party
But for the extraordinary exertions made by the
Standard and its Editor in 1s4s the bill chartering
this Road would have been defeated. The Editor
has since lived to see the violent enemies Of this
Road-such, for example, as Gov. Reid, Gov. Bragg,
and Judge Biggs promoted and honored, and that,
too, by internal improvement Democrats, while he
has been naligned and slandered, and his good name
as Democrat cast out as evil" 1t is long lane
that has no turn 1.-THE mills of the gods grind
slowly" but they grind nevertheless. ,-.
So far as these papers are concerned, we have no
hesitation IN saying that the Standard has more
readers than either the Journal or Register; and
we think it probable that we have nearly as many
this the Editor of the Standard is Stakeholder in
the Road
Wehave borne in silence much of the same treat
ment from Government officials. 1t is due to Gen.
Hoke to state that during the extra session of the Le
gslature he gave us some of the printing of his
Office, and he also ordered some of his advertise
ments in the Standard. But soon after this we
learned that this beraity on the part Of Gen. Hoke
came within five votes Of losing him his Office in
the secession House of Commons; whereupon we
directed our foreman to inform Gen. H. that we re-
spectfully declined to print any more blanks for
him. We were determined that be should incur no
more such risks on our account. We are confident
that the facts here stated are true for We obtained
them from unquestionable authority.
Certain politicians in this State have ugly past
but they may have still more ugly future. The
day will come when they will be held up in theil
true colors to the gaze of an indignant people.
