Wiling to take our chance before Rich

Raleigh. The State Journal has wok,
up Holden, and he catches it thus:
CRazY.- friend has called our attention t,
q communication in The Siate J0uraal whicl
parporis TO be from Shelby, in which the writer
speaking OF the Standard, says:
"Why'does not Gov. Clark stop this miserabl,

hin as q toiyi"
I!se only fault which these crazy and mali
qHtpoople lind with us is, that we are an out

The 9uly reply We have for those who threater

Of free thought aud free speech We are Just

iederate States, and as Determined on doing
our duty, AS ne understand it, as old Stonewall

give you lively time. But mark, sc vipers
when yc impeach our loyalty, and hiss out
the charge that We are not true to the South,
sc are engaged in work which even the devil
himself will not thank you for, for his cause is
injured when his subjects lie unreasonaby.
Moderate lies, ye yipcrs, and an abundance OF
mem, is what your master wants. Let this
crazy correspondent Of the Stats Jgurna! read
this, md then 20 and hang himself He will
thus, most probably, save the officer Of the law
from future trouble; and let those who pub
llshed the crazy faischood, knowing it to be so,
go and do likewise"
There is 10 mistake but what Holden
is man that will make his mark
traitor and rebel as he is. His bold,
manly way, of shooting directly at his
foe, in strong and tcrse language, in
stead of shooting around the corner
with an Irishman's gun, will secure the
respect Of his .oppofents. But it is a
rebel family quarrel. When rQgues
fall out, it is said, honest men will get
their dues. We trust that it may be
so in this case, and that while the rebel
family at Raleigh are quareling, the
Union men will speedily re.possess
themselves Of the old homestead.
The Cecil (Nd) Wig is . sterling

Of these circulators of sensation yarns
were made to smart for so doing. When
yon hear of any thing partaking of the
marvellous, cut it down one half and
then don't you believe more than one
half of what rcmains-unless it comes
thro' reliable source, and even then it
is doubtful. The Marshal is getting his
ire up at the increasing number Of
these stories in circulation, and should
these story-retailers succeed in getting
lin fairly reused, they will catch Jesse.
they may as it is.
If General Floyd should be hung,
the sheriff and clergyman on the scat
fold had better look out for their
pocket-books.
One of the choice sentences in Parson
Brownlow's speech in Philadelphia, is
aa follows:
sir. Maynard and others and myself, have
fought the secessloniSts to the bitter end and
we are still fighting and we intend to pursue
them 10 the gates of hell, and as they ente,
make mouths at Mem."
