Every vote cast in Tarboro and Wilson was "for
Convention" We understand that three groans
were given in each of those towns for Abe Lincoln

Notes
We feel complimented when blackguards groan
at US because we are for the Union. We shall not
take the trouble even to grunt at them.
Let them groan. That is about all they can do
If war should come these very fellows would be
found calling on the pine thickets and hollow logs
to save them from the wrath Of the invading army.
The greatest towards are those who groan most at
enemies who are miles away. They will never
groan over wounds received in defending their
country.
The oligarchs who instruct their minions when
and at whom to groan hate Lincoln, not only be-
cause he is black Republican, but because he
split rails for his daily bread when a young man
they hate Douglas because he worked at the cabinet
makers trade for his daily bread when a young
man; they hate Andrew johnson because he work.
ed at the tailor's trade for his daily bread when
young man; and they hate Holden because, being
only printer he dared to aspire to be Governor Of
North Carolina. Holden will not belitte himself
by hating these creatures in return. They know
that he is true to the South they are but they
seek to ruin him by associating him with black
Republican.
In reply to all this Holden only asks leave to ado
to his record the following: The said Holden ap
peared before the people of Wake for seat in the
Convention. He was assaied, catechized, msrepre
sened, pursued, malgned, but he spoke for himself
and then the people voted. He scdS endorsed 6s

Since the appearance of Lincoln's Inaugural, If
we could believe certain secession newspapers there
has been such Revision in the public sentiment
of Virginia that her immediate secession would
certainly take place. without any serious opposition
to the ordinance in her Convention. Such revo-
luton, the same papers say is going on briskly in
this State. No such thing. North Carolina would
vote tomorrow against secession by over 10000
And with two or three exceptions in the Virginia
Convention, the Union men are as firm as they
the day they assembled. .....
On the 18th instant, resolution rendering the
thanks of the people of Virginia to the Hon. John
j. Crittenden, was introduced and passed. over the
opposition of Gov. Wise, by vote of LOT to 16.
That is one straw. Look at the report OF the COM
mttee on federal relations and you will have another
straw. Virginia will demand her rights in the
Union and will no more obey the command of her
politicians to secede at once than will North Caro-
lima obey the commands of Senator Clingman, the
Senator from Jackson, and Gov. Ellis.

could not think that she would die,
My beautiful, my own
That death would close her beaming ey
And leave me all alone.
That she would live, though sometime
Would fall beside the way
And guard her steps, spirit nigh,
Unfettered by the clay.
P-swspt TO think-is might be soon :
She would be motherless;
My struggling life go down at noon,
With little left to bless.
could not think that her warm heart
Would ever be 80 colo;
That should ever need to F.-s,
And cover her with mould.
I've often prayed that God would keep
Ny child when was dead;
That He whose eyslids never sleep
Would shield her tender head;
That He would keep her heart from sin,
And Blessing, wipe each tear.
knew not that my prayer would win
Her from my dying fear:
Around me sobs the winter wind,
A wall with mine tonight
For nature and the heart are kin,
And both are doomed to blight.
The frozen rain falls on the leaves
Her grave is white with snow;
My heart with ceaseless aching grieves
O'erburdened with such woe.

hand, the other still cienchlug the red
knife.
There lay his child, the blood stream

eyes covered with CLASSY film.
"Maryl'' shrieked tia guilty father
for robber and tory as he was, he called
to her, but that was all he could say.
Suddenly she seemed TO awake from
that stupor. She sat up in the bed with
CLASSY eyes. The strong hand of death
was upon her. AS she sat there, erect
and CLASSY, the room was thronged with
soldiers. Her lover rushed forward and
called her by name. No answer
Called again-spoke to her in that IA

Yes, it was true the stfoRg hand Of
death was upon her.
"Has be escaped2t she said it with
a husky voice.
"Yss" shrisked the father. "Live,
Mary-only live, and tomorrow I will
join the camp at Valley Forge.
Then, that girl-the hero woman
dying as she was, not so much from the
wound in her arm, as from the agony
which has broken the last chord of life,
spread forth her arms as if she beheld
form floating above the bed, beckoning
her away.
"MotherT" she whispered, while there
grouped the soldiers - there, with
speechless agony ON his brow, stood the
lover-there, hiding his face with one
hand, while the other grasped the light,
crouched the father--the light flashing
over the dark bed, with the form in its
centre "Mother, thank God! For with
my life I have saved him"
Look! even as starting on that bloody
couch there, she speaks that half formed
word, her arms stifen, her eyes, wide
open, set in death, glare in her fathers
face.
She is dead. From the room her
spirit has gone.
