For the Standard.

Mr.. EDITOR Although an attentive perusal,
each week. of your most UaLua6le journal assures US
that its columns crowded, we cannot resist the
temptation of telling the people of North Carolina
through this most electric medium that the good
old county of Greene has been redeemed that her
sons have awakened from the lethargy into which
they had fallen and her brow is now wreathed with
the undying gGrLdndS Of HONOR, and victory is
perched upon her banners"
The election of the 7th has resulted favorably to
us, Notwithstanding the injustice with which we
have in some instances been treated. Many of our
brave men in camp were prevented (by those ives
ted with little brief authorityO from voting, fear
ing lest the victory would be ours. Hurrah hur-
rah for the old North State. We have once more
a Governor-not nominal, inactive party tool, but
a Governor, who suits the times-the peoples man
the noble patriotic intrepid Vance! Hurrahl hur-
rah the ship of State which has drfted so long
upon stormy sea, without pilot at its helm, is
manned at last, by who will hold the reins with
a skilful hand-one who will lay aside all "party
spirit" and and act for the peo
pies rights-the country's good.
Yes Mr.. Editor, Greene has at last asserted her
rights, and the citizens of this and Lenoir county
have sent up many cheer for their triumph, and
the noble-hearted conservatives rejoced to have
so good, benevolent and able man as Ed. Patrick
to Represent them in the Senate. Henry Best has
also been elected for the Commons under the sup
position that he was Vance man. The same par
ty which has paid him this distinction would be
hrst to strip him of his honor should it prove 9TH
erwise. The election throughout was conducted in
calm, quiet manner, unlike the usual hustle which
mas hitherto been the characteristic element such
occasions The people came up and voted right
without persuasion. They seemed to be aware of
the danger of the times and acted from principle
There is no particular news now The weather
IS extremely warm, and we have but little rain

1t is upon Southern and not upon Federal soil that
the war is raging. 1t is for subjugation that the
Federal power is avowedy fighting, and for national
existence only that the South is contendng, and yet
the cry is heard that it is our life which is endan

tee on resolutions to report
The following preamble and resolutions, having
been read were unanimously adopted by the regiment
WHEREAS, The people Of our State have called to
the chief Executive chair, our Colonel z. B. Vance,
by the most flattering majority ever given any one
in the State-wthout his solicitation, without his
consent even to become a candidate but with only
the assurance that he would "be content with the
peoples will" Therefore be it resolved
l. 1t is with mingled feelings of regret pride and
qualification, that we are called upon to give up a
commander, in whom all have placed the greatest
eontidence-and who, after twelve months in the
difficult relationship of commander and commanded
leaves without foe, honored and respected by all
2. That We see in the triumphant election of Col
Vance, not only compliment to his integrity, his
ability and bravery but an evidence of the conser.
vatism and sound judgment of the people of our
State.
8. That we confidently trust the brilliant fame,
civil and military so soon attained by our young
commander, will by continued good and honorable
deeds, grow brighter STILL and endure till we are
called, (ong hence be the day. free and inde-
pendent people, to mourn in him the loss Of pa
triot and an honorable man.
+. That We request Sergt. Major L. L. Polk to
present the sword to Col. Vance, with our best wish
es for his future welfare and success.
8. The papers of the State be requested to pub
fish the proceedings of this meeting
Sergeant Maj Polk then made the presentation,
with an exceedingly neat and appropriate address.
When Col. Vance arose, and addressed us in a
style, and with language which will be long remem-
bered by all who heard him.
The meeting was held at night, in the open air,
with not less than two thousand soldiers crowded
around. 1t was indeed moment of triumph to
him, but rather Of sorrow to us, for parted
from one Of the best Of men. Our band discoursed
most excellent music during the meeting.

A CASE FOR FORT WARREN.

At a meeting recently held in Fairfield county,
Ohio DR.. Olds, Democratic candidate for Congress-
made speech, during which the following language
was used by him in reference to Lincoln's emanci.
patton scheme:
~ denounce Lincoln as tyrant He has per-
jured his SOUL He may mprison me, but will still
cry tyrant l denounce these acts of oppression as
foul acts of perjury against the Constitution"
"And now, my fellow Democrats, ! am going to
have vision, which, if it were not a vision, might
be treason, but what now say l say in Sleep and
am not therefore responsible" Al
see blood at the ballot this fall The President has
issued his proclamation for 300 900 more troops and
Congress has passed law authorizing him to draft
them. He will have to draft them if he gets them
because these cowardly Abolitionsts will not enlist
There is election this fall and they want to carry
it. They want to draft Democrats; they will draft
them to prevent their voting. They have the power
and can so arrange it. You will not be cheated
I tell you you aoiH not submit to these torozgs-
You sOW see blood If they attemptt to arrest US
and take US from our families to support an Admin
istration in its violations of the Constitution zoe U
resist to blood If the Democrats don't succeed
at the ballotbox they will succeed at the point of
the 6ayonet. What mean is, that Lincoln's min
ions will surround the balotbox this fall with bay
onets to prevent Democrats from voting and we will
resist them with the bayonet"

full, brawny frame, belonging to the 2lst North.
Carolina so badly cut up at the late battle of Win
chester, is lying at the Seminary Hospital in that
town. He received Mimic bullet IN both thighs,
from different directions. A ball entered the arm
near the elbow, and went crashing through thews
and muscle up to the shoulder, and out at the
clavice.
Another entered just above the small of the back
The surgeons endeavored in vain to find it Several
days afterwards it passed from the bowels The ball
is preserved by Dr. Chapel, and is but little fat
tened. The question is, how did that ball get into
the intestinal canna and pass thence without caus-
ing deathG All the army surgeons say there is no
parallel case on record The man eats heartily, has
excellent digestion, and has been living nearly four
wounds His skin has healthy appearance his
eye is clear, and he talks cheerfullY.-M Y Com.
