Work Hands Wanted.

Many of our citizens in the Eastern part Of the
State have left that section with their servants, and
it is desirable that they should be employed in the
cultivation of the unoccupied lands in the middle
and Western Counties. We told that there
are thousands Of acres of untenanted lands which
will grow wheat corn, irish potatoes, rye, barley
&c, and where pork and cattle can be raised album
dainty. 1t is of immense importance that all the
bread and neat ,ohich can be raised in NorthCaro
lima the present year. should be. At the prices now
demanded for bread and meat which are by far too
high, no class of men are making much as the
farmers who raise provisions. Let our Eastern peo-
pie, therefore, who are in doubt about making a
crop in the East, send or carry their hands up the
country. A friend writes us that corn will mature
in the Western Counties if not planted before the

The alacrity with which our people have ralied 70
the call ofthe Governor, is beyond al precedent al
most We should not be surprised if We have IF
teen full regiments in camp in . month from this
date. Several of these regiments hsye organized
and elected their officers An error having occurred
in our notice Of the No. Of some of them, we give
correct list, with the officers elected:

The above selections in the main are very good
and exhibit the capacity of the company officers to
select good officers To have succeeded in all re-
spects, is what could not have been expected. The
responsibility of a commander is one of great i'm
portance and risk. No man who has doubt of
his capacity, ought to accept Indeed positions of
such risk should never be sought. Nor is it enough
to have good Colonel to a regiment Every OH
should be the very best that can be obtained at
the time but we differ entirely with those who
would place our volunteers in the war under the
regime of the armies of Europe or the old United
States army. This war, if we understand it, is
war Of the people, to be fought by them and for
them. Hence the Importance of having officers who
possess both the confidence and the affection of
their men. very erroneous idea prevails,-t
officers who are elected cannot and will not enforce
discipline. This is contrary to fact. No officers in
the army are more strict discplnarians than Gen.
Hill, Col. Pcttgrew and Col Pender, and yet none
are more beloved by their commands. Others are

W. w. HOLDEN, ESQ:
My Dear Sir-As the names of some gentlemen
have been suggested to the public as suitable men
for Governor of our State at the present crisis,
shall take the liberty also Of presenting to the pub
lie the name Of gentleman whom l think highly
qualified to fill that important station. It Is Gen.
Samuel F. Patterson, Of the county of Caldwell
He was once clerk of the Senate, then State Treas.
urer, then President of the Raleigh and Castor
Railroad, and has been Senator from the county Of
Caldwell several terms. All of these important
stations he 6lled with distinguished ability, with
great credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the
public. He was at one time thought of as a suita.
BILE man for an appointment in Fillmore's Cabinet.
He is a man of decided ability. of excellent judg.
ment, frmness and energy, and great prudence
He has experience, also, on his side, being now
little over sixty years of age In time of great dan
ger, when it is necessary that our most able dis
Greet and prudent nen-men of wisdom and exps-
rience should be at the head of affairs, know ofuo
man | would sooner trust in North Carolins, than
Gen. Samuel z. Patterson. He is man of high
moral character, and nothing can be said against
him, either private citizen, or as public man.
There is not more loyal man to the South in the
Confederacy, and no man has been more liberal in
his donations to the support Of the army since this
war commented. lam making no idle boast and
using no exaggerated language; Ill that say Of
Ten. Patterson is well known to the citizens Of our
county, and be Substantiatcd by undoubted tes.

Fort Donelson Victory.

We give large space to the details OF the
taking and surrender Of Fort Donelson, in our
paper this week. II is grand victory, and the
hearts Of all loyal people in all the loyal States
are jubilant over ii, while the leading rebel
traitors are made to feel that indeed q crisis Is
upon them-a crisis Of alarming forebodings,
threatening the very existence Of oil rebeldom.
The Importance Of this splendid achievement
can hardly be overestimated. Fifteen thousand
armed rebels, with Buckner and Bushrod john
son, two Of their abest Generals, are captured.
The captured fort was situated on high emf
nenee, and had well-planned earthworks and q
powerful armament. Butthe contest was waged
sharply from Thursday till Sunday forenoon
BY our land forces under Gen. Grant, who had
determined upon victory at whatever cost il
might be attained. All honor to their heroism!
Fort Donelson is ours, and Knoxville and Nash
willie must soon follow. Columbus, with all its
supplies cut of, must soon fall, and Kentucky
and Tennessee be cleared Of rebels-and the
Mississippi opened to New Orleans to the ire
sistible armies of the Northwest. The coast
cities, too, will soon have to yield to the occu-
paney Of our forces. Truly, the work goes on
briskly, and brighter day to our country
seems clearly to be dawning.

No greater evidence OF the Indifference tc

the fact that the law. had become practically

Whether the President will bow before the

Our own opinion is, that IL capital punish

OF the slave trader. and IL Gordon eIpiates hi:
high-handed offence. against heaven and hui
manity upon the gallows, no one save hi:
