Archer, in the good cityof Montreal.
The vacation only lasted a week, but
We took a fortnight; and as All
Archer, Bellies brother, brought with
him Charlie Lucas, John Travers,
and Win Curtis, all splendid fellows
for fun and flirting, and all heart.
brcakingly good looking, We had de.
Nghtful times in slcighingand sliding,
and skating and coasting, during the
day, and dancing and playing whist
and what-not in the evening.
One wild, snowy January morning,
too stormy to think Of going out, the
whole eight Of us gathered round the
blazing fire in solemn conclave, to
determine how the day was to be
spent.

from this city, pays the following handsome tribute
to the Raleigh Rifles

ing for Virginia, under their brave and gallant COM
mander, Capt. W. H. Harrison. This is as fine
company as everdrew trigger or repulsed an enemy
and from the entire confidence they have IN their
commander, you may rely upon them to do the most
efficient service This company is composed of some
of the most respectfully connected gentlemen in the
State-married as well as single. They know no
allegiance save to the South and are resolved to die
rather than be subjugated True courage is the
heritage Of every man Of Them Should they get into
battle (as they desire to do) their banner will be
seen in the thickest of the fight, streaming like
thunder-cloud against the wind, rustling mid the
battle quarry" The Raleigh Rifles are oficered as
follows:
VIM. H. Harrison, (Mayor of Raleigh,) Captain !;
Hon Sion H. Rogers, First Lieutenant; Jos. Jones,
Second Lieutenant; Seaton Gales, former editor of
the Raleigh Register, Third Lieutenant; Orderly
Sergeant, J. W. Miller; Second Sergeant VIM. H.
Moore; Third Sergeant, Richard C. Badger, (son of
the Hon. Geo. E. Badger,) and Fourth Sergeant, E.
N. Roberts In the Raleigh Rifles are 80 determin-
ed hearts, exclusive of officers and band.

RETURNING ARMs.-Last week we published the
order or request of the Adutant General for the COL
lection Of all State by the Shers and forward
them to Raleigh. We doubt the propriety of this,
as arms of all kinds extremely among the
people, and a new supply cannot now be purchased
by individuals. It is necessary for home defence
that every should have one gun at least in his
house. Those who have old muskets will no doubt
make good use Of them when the pinch comes
Charlotte Democrat.
The above expresses our sentiments precisely, but
if we had said as much, the squads would have
charged us with being unpatriotic
1t is of the first importance that all our people be
armed at the earliest moment and in the best poss
BILE way. Let our old muskets, rifles and shot guns
even, be rubbed up and put in good repair: We
presume there several shops in the State, where
the old flint lock can be changed to the percus-
sion. Mr.. Keuster Of this City can do it well and
promptly.

Col. J. Johnston Pettigrew.

This gentleman is a native North -Carolinian and
devoted patriot. He has been for some years res
ident of South Carolina, and is now connected with
the South-Carolina State Army. Our State has but
few sons possessing greater vigor Of intellect and all
the attributes Of great mind more than he does
We are assured by those who know, that although
his education was not military one, yet few pos
sess more military knowledge, skill and strategic
talent than Col. Pettigrew. His behaviour and
abilities as commanding officer in South-Carolina
have elected the highest euloges.
Some time ago, we learned that Col. Pettigrew
rendered his services to Gov. Ellis, to serve in his
native State Why is it COL Pettigrew is not among
u.s. and in command of some of our forces? Has
the Executive ever replied to his tender? We
should like to know

First N. C. Regiment.
We find the following letter from this regiment in
the Charlotte Democrat:
YORKTOWN, Va, May q.
We had scarcely got ready to rest at our camp
near Richmond before we received orders to move
to this place. And am sorry to say that we lost
one of our best soldiers on the way here. Julius
Sadler fell from the cars short time after leaving
Richmond, and was instantly killed tis supposed
that he was asleep and precpitated from the plat.
form car. The Regiment arrived at this point be.
fore hearing Of his melancholy fate. The news was.
received here on Sunday morning and spread gloom
over our gallant band Alto o'clock, our Chaplain,
Rev. Edwin A. Yates, preached an impressive dis.
course to his brother soldiers q say brother soldiers
because he is taking an active part in the duties of
the camp aud intends to fight as well as pray Many
of men were affected to tears at the illusions to
the death of poor Sadler. COL Hill assisted in the
services. He is praying man, and has the conf.
dence and respect Of every man in the Regiment
All are determined to stand by him to the last man
where he leads none of us will hesitate to follow.
It. Col. Lee and MAJOR Lane are also good officers
and much beloved. In fact the men appear pleased
with all their officers

panies have no superiors anywhere. In the latter.

tors. l don't want to be guilty of selfp-aise, but
must say that our Regiment can't be beat either
in appearance or on the battlefield.

The Late Union Men.

Timothy Rives, of Prince George, Va, is one of
the most eloquent men and formidable opponents on
the stump in that State Prior to Lincolns procla.
nation he was an uncompromising Union man. He
is now as decided in opposition to the Union as he
was favorable to it before. During the late Virginia
Convention he delivered Union speech of great
length and ability, on the 29th Of March, which the
Richmond Enquirer could not publish, according to
its contract, until very recently When it was pub
shed, the Enquirer took it upon itself to say that
the speech ought never to have been delivered. To
this Mr. Rives replies sharply, fully sustaining his
former course. He says:
"Permit me to inform you that I concur in no
such opinion, but on the contrary, endorse now,
and will to the day of my death, every sentiment
therein uttered believing, do, that the present
war now raging in Virginia stands justified, on her
part upon the ground that she exhausted all honor
able means to adjust difficulties amicably before
resorting to the right of revolution to redress the
wrongs Of which she justly complains. 1t is that
which nerves her sons now in their perilous march
to the battle-feld-it is that which spoke in tones
of thunder at the ballot-box last Thursday-it is
that which now animates me to take my stand for
her, without one pang of reproach for having been
instrumental in needlessly bringing on the present
state of affairs.

Southern Congress.

It will be seen by the Convention Proceedings,
that there has been some discussion about appoint
ing members to the Southern Congress. In order
to avoid any complaints about the matter the Con-
venton might order an election by the people; but
that would no doubt create a party contest which
ought by all MEANS to be avoided at this time. For
the sake OF harmony we are willing to anything
that's fair. Let us have no quarreiing about the
offices while common enemy is threatening our
rights and invading our SOIL
AS the State will be entitled to ten Representa-
tVes, how would it do for the people to elect one
from each Congressional District and the Conven-
ton two from the State at large Char. Democrat
The editor of this paper has already introduced
resolution into the Convention, authorizing an cleo
ton of delegates to the Confederate Congress by
general ticket By the people early in July. We did
50 for two reasons; first because it is the right of
the people to elect them and it is eminently fit
and proper time for them to do it. Secondly, to re-
move from the Convention this great temptation to
electioneering and party maneuvreing. There is
more danger, far more, at this time to North-Caro
lima from the bad influences of partizan elections in
the Convention, than there is among the people.
We hope the conservatives will be able to carry it
through, but We arewell aware that the precipita-
tors or squads will resist it
1t is wonderful what change has been produced
in the minds of proessed Democrats by secessionsm
Our eyes and ears have been astounded at the deve
opments which few months have made, of the
most radical changes upon the principles Of popular
government, in the minds Of those who had been
regarded as sound Democrats for many years. They
still profess to be Democrats but it is an empty pro-
fession. We could trust simon pure, old Hartford
Convention Federalists, questions affecting the
popular rights of the people, as readily as we can
trust them. Nothing is more common, since the
secession furor began, than to hear proessed Dem
ocrats declare that "we must haue stronger gov
ernment" "the people are not capable of selfgov-
ernment" "their privileges must be abridged" and
such like expressions Whereas, it can be shown
to demonstration that all the instances of friction
and misrule in the machinery of our government,
has arisen from the corruptions imbeciity or wick
edness Of the rulers and not from the corruption

Our Correspondence.

We give some extracts from the letters of few
of our correspondents received by the late mails.
A friend in Onslow county, May 81, writes thus:
~ cannot refrain from expressing in this connec-
zion the very high qualification which feel in know
ing that you have achieved signal triumph over
such formidable combinations as have recently been
arrayed against you, personally an6 otherwise and
especially do rejoice over your success in the late
election; for although abandoned the old Federal
Union and its cause at least a couple of months be-
fore you did, still, if had been a citizen of Wake
county, it would have afforded me pleasure to cast
a vote for you, believing that you were honest in
your professions, as loyal to section any man,
and when the time arrived, in your Judgment to
give up the ship. that you would leave her, and
stand as immovably fixed upon the side Of the Con-
federate Government as any other person, without
regard to station or interest And find am right
in thus estimating your character"
A correspondent writing from Wilmington under
date of May 80, says:
"Allow me even at this late day, to congratulate
you upon your triumph. Your triumph was the
triumph of many throughout the State.

criticisms on the appointments made by Gov. Ellis
