IS Somebody Hurt.,,


From the way in which the pigeons futter over
the Senatorial election it is our opinion that "some-
body is hurt" 1t is said that "low trick" was
practiced by those who voted fer Mr. Dortch. Now,
the "trick" was all on the other SIDE 1t was
thought that if Mr.. Davis should be elected, Mr..
Dortch could not be, as both were Eastern men;
and so the friends Of Messrs. Avery and Clingman
elected Mr. Davis, feeling that the other
of them would win. But the bucket went down
with Mr.. Dortch's name in it, and the windlass
turned and "hurt" couple of Western gentlemen,
who thought that they, and they only Of Western
men, were fit for Senator.
1t is stated in one Of the prints that at the time
Mr.. Clngman was defeated he was "under march,
ing ORDERS" as the Col of his regiment Very we'll,
then-why did he not obey these orders? The pro-
per place for him was at the head of his regiment
no. in Raleigh electoneerng for the Senator's place.
But it is rutnored that Col. Clingman has gone to
Richmond, and it is also rumored that he has been
recommended by high authority in this State to
President Davis for the office of Brigadier General.
We beg leave to say to President Davis that we
have had enough political Generals. Mr.. Clingman
is novice in military matters. He is not yet quail
fed to form and drill his regiment and yet he must
be Brigadier!

nF. SneedsS Card.

We very chcerfully surrender a portion Of our
space to-day, to the Card Of DR.. r. X. Speed, of
Pasquotank, in reply to charge preferred against
him by depravcd public journal printed in this
City. Cur readers will agree with US that DR..
Speeds vndicaton is triumphant and complete in
every respect Our only regret is, that he has con-
descended to notice at any length the depraved pub
lie journal referred to-
The State does not contain purer patriot
than Dr. Speed. The SANDER which he has so
thoroughly repelled and dsproved in his Card, in
stead of injuring, will raise him in the estimation
of every rightminded and decent person. Dr. Speed
was for the Union up to Lincoln's proclamation in
April last. As soon that proclamation appeared,
he defed the tyrant; and having been elected a
member Of the State Convention, as one of the one
hundred and twenty, he proudly affixed his sigma
ture to the act Of secession which was passed on
the goth of May. But the fact that he was Union
man at one time, is the secret Of the sander which
he repels in his Card

The Latest News.

Inc Richmond papers announce the gratifying
intelligence that Gen. Lees forces had captured
Gen Reynolds, the commander of the Federal forces
in the vicinity of Cheat Mountain. Whether any Of
his forces were captured is not stated, but the
starving condition of portion of his forces led to
the conclusion that ere this 1000 of his troops had
surrendered to Gen. Lee or been cut up.
1t is further rumored that after the union of Gems
Wise and Floyd they had attacked Rosencrantz and
worsted him greatly. 1t is said that our North
Carolina regiment and the Georgia regiment had not
reached Floyd's camp before the battle.
Frequent skirmishing continues on the Potomac
Arrests continue in Maryland Lincoln troops were

Hat,eras Again..A Cruel slander.


We have been surprised and panied at the stifled
whsperings which have been circulated from one to
another for several days, that reflect severely,
whether intended or not, upon the loyalty and gen.
uine courage of the people of the Eastern Counties.
It has been insnuated in certain circles, that the
secret of the surrender of Hateras the refusal
of the rank and file to fight. 1t is further stated
that the officers (Which of them it is not said were
anxious to fight, but the men would not Who
SAYS so? No one knows-no responsible name for
the assertion is given. Thus soldiers are SLAM
dered in their absence without the means of defence
The statement is a canard-a fasehood, we have
no doubt and is gotten up to paate the affair and
remove the responsibility from the shoulders which
should bear it. Why is it, that this tale has just
come outg Lieutenants Murdaugh, Knight and
Citizen, and about thirty men, made their escape
from Hatteras on Thursday. They had the means
of knowing this, if i! were true. No such statement
was made by them at the time, when of all others
it would have been told, if true Besides, who ever
heard of commanders submitting the question to
the men whether they would fight not? There
we're officers there who would have fought, and we
are sure the rank ana ule Woulo have louSIt,
they had been properly managed. We have no
doubt serious blunders were committed, in the de-
fence of the forts, but who's to blame for those
blunders we know not But we protest against the
slander of those unfortunate men who were cap
tured at Ilatteras and are now in Lincoln's prison
| holes. -.
Similar insinuations are made against our men at
Oregon Inlet They are represented as having act
! ed cowardly We havea positive denial of this SIAN
der from the mouth of Col. Morris who was in COM
mand, and had the best right to know, before the
naval officers arrived from Norfolk and superseded
| him.
In connection with these insinuations it is hint
ed, that if our Western had been in those posi-
tions of trial. they would not have acted so coward
| ly. We protest in the name of our brave Western
men and of our equally brave Eastern men, against
this mean and base attempt to stir up sectional pre-
judices in the State. The world does not produce
braver soldiery than our volunteers of the West
and we are sure that our brave men of the East
their equals in all respects Our North.Carolins
sodiery East and West will all fight if they are led
by officers Of the right stamp-men who are ap
pointed chosen fer their qualifications, and not
because they were political or family pots.

THE CONFEDERATE CONGRESS.

Mr. HOLDEN: Allow us space to say in your
valuable paper that it is the earnest desire of many
of the citizens Of the 9th Congressional District,
that that incorruptibe patriot and true Southern
man, COL Bedford Broom, Of Cascell, should allow
the use Of his name as candidate for Congress in
this District.
No man in the District can so fully unite all par
ties in this period of war with common foe, Col
Brown. We hope that no consideration of per-
sonal or private nature will prevent his allowing
the use of his name. Believing that express the
wishes Of a large majority, We subscribe ourselves

A Good Move.

We clip the following from an exchange paper:
Georgia has set noble example in providing for
the winter clothing and comfort of her Soldiers, at
an expense of about 100000. She has 10000 in
the field-2O,oOO being in Virginia. -a .. af.-
Some of the Georgia ladies also have most gener-
ousy proposed that, if the soldiers will send part
or the whole of their communication money ($2l
every six months) to their sewing associations they
will purchase cloth and make up the clothes without
charge This expedent will at least avoid the skin
ming of our soldiers by the tradesmen.
