Vance, and can tell you how the whole regiment
is going to vote-they are going to vote to man
for Col. Vance," and I rather think the majority
of all will.
Mr.. Editor, did you ever think what q foolish
ground the reason why Johnston should beelected
is based upon2 Col Vance is needed in the field
Let him remain where he is, and let US have good
financier! Yes, and why has not Mr.. Johnston not
been in the feldf 1t is useless 70 reiterate what
has been said thousand times but every one
knows that Mr.. Johnston had no idea of giving up
that little salary of two Railroads. Let Mr.. john
ston try his hand little at soldering and if the good
people see that he is serving his country with half
the zeal that Col Vance has, then, at the next cleo
ton the good people may talk about running him.
Yours, &C. WORRELL.

AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTH
CAROLINA.
It is at all times unpleasant to bring before the
public the acts of officials, more particularly when
those acts, if Investigated would prejudice the pub
lie mind against such officials but, nevertheless
the truth should be known if such officials should
suffer public condemnation. But will not con-
denim them, neither will ask the public to censure
them before they have heard statement of the facts
On the night of the 10th of April 1852, Calvin
G. Perkins, citizen of the County of Wayne, was
arrested by an armed body of men and confined in
prison in Godsboro', N. G. He.there remained for
o few days and. was then sent to the Confederate
States Baste in Salisbury, N. c., without any pre-
cept or authority or charge against him.
About the last of May l went to Goldsboro', N.
G., to obtain legal advice as to the arrest and
tinement of Calvin G. Perkins l then and there
employed two attorneys. Myself and the two at.
torneys had long consultation about his case, in
which divulged all and every thing about it that
knew or had heard Of left to make arrangements
to pay them their fees On my return l was in
formed by one of my attorneys that Geo. V. Strong,
one Of the attorneys that employed had declined
having any further to do with the case; the reason
he assigned was, that il he, Calvin G. Perkins, was
guilty of treason, he would as Confederate States
Attorney, have to prosecute him. went to Sails
bury and filed petition for writ of habeas corpus
and to my establishment when the writ was re-
turned, George " Strong, to whom had confided
all and every thing about the case, prosecuting
in the very case that had employed him to defend
He appeared with a long affidavit for continuance
of the case, in which he stated that there moth
ing against Calvin G. Perkins and Judge Biggs on
that AFFIDAVIT continued the case And thus by a
collision between the Confederate States Attorney
and the Judge freeman is deprived of his liberty
1t seems to me to be a collision; for employed
George V. Strong, and after divulgng the whole
case to him, it turned out that he was appearing
against me in the case. There was nothing against
Calvin G. Perkins, and Judge Biygs refused to dis
charge him. l will leave it to an honest public to
judge Of his and Geo. v S.rongs conduct

RALEIGH: SATURDAY, AUG. 2, 1862.
Bear in Mind,

Bear in Mind,
When you 90 to vote, that Col. Vance is the peo-
MES candidate for Governor, and that Mr. Johnston
is party candidate.
Bear in mind, that Mr.. Johnston was for war
while Col. Vance was striving to prevent war; but
that when war came, Col Vance shouldered his
musket and went to fight, and Mr. Johnston staid at
home.
Bear IN mind that Col Vance is thorough
North Carolinian in all his acts and sympathies;
and that Mr. Johnston has shown, by establishing
the South Carolina guage in this State, and by turn
ing our produce to Columbia and Charleston, instead
of to Wilmington and to Beaufort that his feelings
are with South. Carolina. We have no unjust pref
udices against our sister State, but our Governor
should be q. North Carolinian, not only in name,
but in sympathy and feeling. Is not this reasona-
BILE?
Bear in mind, that the election of COL Vance will
encourage our brave soldiers in the field. They
will feel themselves honored in having one of their
number made Governor. 1t will be practical as
surance to them that they are not forgotten while
perilling their lives in our defence
Bear in mind that Mr.. Johnston is thoroughly
identified with Gov. Clark's administration, and that,
if shouldbe elected, we shall have no reform in the
State government Whereas, Col. Vance is commit
ted to combination clique, but is his own man.
If the latter be elected, he certainly will, the
State government will be reformed. and party spirit
extinguished.
Bear in mind, that if man who is fighting the
Yankees should be defeated for Governor, and one
elected who has never taken the field against them,
our enemies will construe the result as meaning that
North. Carolina IS opposed to the war, and wants
peace on any terms. Under this view of the mat
ter, our enemies will redouble their efforts against
US, and the war will be prolonged
Bear in mind, that every cote is Important

fact of their assailing the loyalty of the Standard
1t is a tact-so says soldier who ought to know

The Great Humbus Exposed.

te" days ago, We received authentic informa-
ton from the camps, that it was runore there and
attempted to be used to the injury of COL Vance
and ourself, that package addressed to US wv. W.
Holden) had been received by flag of truce from
Newbern by Col. SOL Williams, commanding our
forces at KinSton, and that he, Col Williams, had
examined it and found it to contain too incendiary
objectionable matter to be transmitted to US andh he
had therefore suppressed it as contraband, or sent
1t to Gov. Clark 1t was further stated that this re-
port had been made the basis of slanderous attack
upon our loyalty, and was being used to the injury
of Col. Vance.
We learned some days ago that similar runor
had appeared in that depraved and vllainous sheet,
called the State Journal of this City, week or two
since. When We heardofit We concluded that as that
paper was so notorious for its wilful lying and cal
unny upon US, and indeed upon every old Union
man in the State, it was wholly unnecessary for nc
to notice it. We did not suppose that there was
person in the State, beyond the immediate influence
of the Journal Office and its peculiar friends ase
enough to believe, much less to circulate the
charge
Upon receiving, however, the above information
from the camps, we Immediately addressed Gov.
Clark the following note, which resulted in the sub
joined correspondence, which we issued at once in
circular hastily prepared We ask the special at.
