therefore, lies not at our door, but with those who
thus falsely accuse us. They are giving aid and
comfort to the enemy; and they continue to givd
this aid as the Register, the State journal, and the
Wilmington Journal are now doing, by quoting
from the Newbern Progress to show that Gov. Gra-
ham, the Standard, and thousands of our people,
are false to the Southern cause. Gov. Graham,
whose father fell covered with wounds in the war of
the revoution-who has five sons in the Southern
army-who voted for the ordinance of secession,
and who. in the Convention, stood like a rock for
the Southern cause, firm and .selfpossessed, while
others were excited and alarmed lie is charged in

with being an enemy to Southern rights And
wherefore? We will tell the Enquirer. Because
he was opposed to disunion up to the proclamation
of Lincoln, and beca6se he tTill.not bow down and
worship the Southern rights party which had its
origin at Goldsborough. We are proud to be asso-
ciated by our enemies with such man as Graham.
If he is traitor to North Carolina then are we
traitor also
The Enquirer advises US to return "to that dis
cretion and selfpossesson which once distinguished
Us" 1--WE are not mad most noble Festus, but

Let our excellent cotemporary take the trouble to

Old StOneWalI Again.

The quick movements and the successes of the
heroic jackson, come quicker and faster than the
eager paintings of the public for news can anticipate
After the retaking of Winchester, it was runored
that jackson was in Maryland ready to pounce up
on Washington, or Baltimore or Harrisburg
This was not true. small portion of his cavalry,
perhaps crossed. the Potomac and burnt some of
the railroad bridges, but Jackson remained about
Winchester arranging to secure his booty and re-
move it to a safe place. As shrewd General as
he is knew that having left a considerable hostile
force in his rear he must clear them out before
pressing on.
In % days. jackson marched from Staunton to
Mcdowell, where he whipped Millroy thence to
Franklin, 80 miles; thence to Harrisonburg over
Shenandoah mountain, 65. miles; thence to Front
Royal, 55 miles, where he whipped the Yankees
again, taking many prisoners; thence to Winches-
ter, whipping Banks, 20 miles; thence beyond
Charleston, 26 miles-taking in all about 5000
prisoners, about 10000 stand of small arms, so
wagon loads of ordnance stores, 90 fine army wag-
ons, 10000 lbs of bacon, 200 cheeses, 100 head of
Ohio cattle cavalry horses, saddles, &C., and about
100000 worth of medical stores, besides destroy
ing much. To save his treasure, he fell back into
the Valley, where he has since encountered Shields
and Fremont, routing and beating them and still
adding to his stock of captured goods, which we
hope by this time all secured
H: appears to be at this time the focus for all
eyes. His policy is the only one, as we have inss-
ted for months, which can bring safely out of
this war. Other Generals sit down before an ene-
my and ditch and fortify, wasting away their men
by disease, short allowance and bad food, while he
is always in the saddle and keeps his in spirits
and good health Were all our Generals to adopt
this policy, the prospects of the Confederacy would
brighten in every quarter IN three weeks.

The Iredell EXPRESS.

The iredell Express endeavors to produce the i'm
preston that original secessionst, stand
ing side by side with Yancey Rhett & Co. The
Express knows better. Up to within the last three
months the Express has endorsed our course; and
the STANDARD and that paper have been together
until very recently, from the moment the message
of Gov. Ellis appeared, which committed this State
to disunion. Ve have not changed; but the people
of Iredell, who have carefully read the Express,
know that that paper has. 1t does not speak now
for more than one in ten of the voters of Iredell
We have never advocated the doctrine of seces-
sion at will, as our files will show. We have al
ways held the Jeffersonian and Jackson doctrine,
that State had right to separate from the Union
except for deliberate, papablc, and dangerous xo
lation of the Constitution. This was the doctrine
of the Democratic party, until the neolights got
control of it al Charleston and Baltimore; and as
soon as their control commenced, the party was dis
organized and decay set in. few months more,
and it was destroyed and with it the Union was
destroyed also. At Charleston we denounced the
Yanceyites openly in the Convention, and at Balt-
more we stood to the last moment by the old organ
ization. We were induced to support Mr.. Breckin-
ridge because Of the Of his leading friends
in this State and elsewhere and because of his own
assurances and those of Gen. Lane, that they were
opposed to secession in the event of Lncolns elec-
ton; but when we found they had deceived u.s. we
separated from them and denounced them.
The Express also misrepresents us on the subject
of ad oalorem. We never opposed the principle
Of ad oalorens. We lost party friends and party
influence in the contest between Gov. Ellis and Mr..
Pool, because refused to oppose the principle Of
ad ralorem taxation. Ad ralorem is just and ght.
1t is now part of the fundamental law of the land
and we voted in the Convention to make it so.
The last Express is very rabid and abusive TO-
wards u.s. We do not regard the Editors misrep.
reservations and abuse He will live to see the day
when he will regret it. He cannot inure us, but
he is rapidly destroying the last vestge of influence
which he had.

article of Hanover" giving account of the fight
near Hanover G. H., Va, We, in common with other
papers, published it We readily therefore pub
lsh the correction by " Hanover" in which he ad-

A correspondent of the Charlotte Bulletin says
that the 28th N. G. regiment is in line near Rich
mond He also states that the reported loss of Gen.
Branch's brigade in that encounter is about sO0.-
Why is it that official report Of the losses have
been made public except the casualties Of the 18th

says was within miles with large FORCE but did
not render Gen. Branch any aid The annexed is

RICHMOND June 6, 1862,
To the Editor or the Richmond Examiner:
In your paper of May 3lst appeared an article on
the battle in Hanover, by "Hanover." The author
afterwards found that facts had been uninten-
tionay msstated, and that certain expressions had
been used which might if unexplained, be constru-
ed to reflect upon the personal bravery of general
ship of L. OBJ. Branch therefore Hanover" re-
ouested you on June 1st to insert an article expla
natory Of this first article and told BY your clerk
that the article would appear if possible. Will you.
Sir, please publish said article, if possible and not
please publish at least enough to assure the public
that Hanover" is nov satied that Gen. Branch was
on the field before gun had been fred and that ho
ordered all Of his forces into position, and did not
keep battery and foyr regiments idle at his side
while the enemy was moving down the Eighteenth
and Thirty seventh, as was at first stated =.
Gen. R E. Lee has thanked Gen. Branch for bis
management On that occasion and for the condoos
of his troops and as the first article, if unexP:an.
cd might do injustice to brave officer, it is hoped

CART. FREELAND, QF ORANGE.-Capt. Freeland's
company Of the 9Th N. G. State troops, was detach-
ed as a guard for Gen. Smiths headquarters on
Saturday the a1st the day of the first battle near
Richmond He went into the engagement with tho
22d N. c. regiment under COL Lightfoot. He had
his sword drawn, and the scabbard was shot in
twain Hisleg was at length broken by ball, and
some of his men were bearing him from the field,
when, being hard pressed by the enemy, he urged
them to leave him and save themselves They did
so reluctantly. He was captured with four Of his
men. The company behaved nobly in the action
We trust that Capt Freeland who is one Of the best
officers in the regiment will survive his wound.

9th Regiment N. C.. Troops.

We learn that this regiment was thrown into
commotloa, soon after the battle below Richmond.
by the announcement that Capt Isaac E. Avery, of
company E, had been appointed Lieutenant Colonel
over MAJ Webb and others, who were justly enti-
tied to the place. Maj. Webb, who fought through
the battle Of Manassas, under Colonel Fisher. and
through the battles below. Richmond as commander
OF the regiment, at once resigned his place as Major,
as he should have done under the circumstances
and returned nme. His resignation, however,
makes room for other favorites and Captain Avery
will most probably now become Colonel, Capt Tate
Lieutenant Colonel, and Captain Kirkland Major.
Lieutenant Aphonzo c. Avery becomes Captain of
company E, in place of Capt. Isaac E. Avery, pro-
NOTED.
An ordinance was passed by the Convention, pro-
vlding that promotion in companies should be BY
grade and that all vacancies in third Leutenancies
should be filled by election but no provision of the
sort was made as to regiments for the reason that
it was considered well settled that the reeinental
officers should be advanced as vacancies take place
that is, the Lieutenant Colonel to be Colonel, the
Major to be Lieutenant Colonel, and the place of
Major to be filled by the senior Captain of the regi
meDt. This has been the rule But the rule has
been violated in this instance worthy and COM
petent officer who is Major, fresh from the field
OF battle has been called upon to submit to the in
justice of having Captain placed over him as Lieut..
Colonel; and having resigned, as it was expected
he would do, the programme is no doubt to be car
ried out by confering all the field offices of the reg
ment uDon family and Marty favoritar
The only objection to Maj Webb, so far as We
know, is that he was not an original secessionst.
We now call upon Gov. Clark, and the partizans
who surround him, to furnish reasons to the public
and to the army, for this act which appears upon
its face to be SO unjust, not only to Maj Webb but
to other officers of the regiment
Is this really party war? No. God forbid
Why, then, is it that nearly all the offices of honor
profit, and trust both in the army and in civil life,
are bestowed upon certain patizans and certain
families? Why is it that merit is nothing, and
patriotism nothing, when compared with these
claims of partizans and favorites?
The remedy for these wrongs can be found only
at the polls. Let the people rise up in their might
and cast out the partizans and money changers u
from positions which they have abused, and put
hetter and more honest men in their places. 1t is
just as important to reform the government it is
to prosecute the war indeed the latter depends
very much upon the former. Let the people elect
Legislature which will ferret out and expose
abuses, and reform the government; and let them
elect Col. VANCE Governor-a man who sympa.
thizes with all the brave officers and men who are
stalking their lives for the country and who will see
to it that justice is done in promotions and appoint
ments, without regard to party.

The Latest News.

On our lines around Richmond every thing has
been quiet for the last several days. Rumor, how
ever, indicates quite stir in the camp Of McCel-
lan We learn that the impression prevails among
our pickets that Mcclellan is about to change his
'front.' or abandon the idea at present Of attacking
Richmond. Others infer that he desig gns a move
ment upon the South side of James river. What
ever may be his purpose, it is hoped that our COM
manders will never let him move upon them by
slow approaches. We incline to the opinion that
he is getting ready to sit dOun, by fortifying his
position at all points, so as to force to attack
him. Such an attack would involve the risk of a
terrible slaughter of our men. Having fortified, he
could spare some of his force to check Jacksons
movements
The news from Stonewall Jackson's command is
confirmed Gen. Ewell attacked Fremont on Satur-
day last near Cross Keys five miles from Port Re-
public, and repulsed him with much loss. On Mon
day Fremont was reinforced and attempted to re-
intorce Shields but could not the Shenandoah.
On Monday Gen. Jackson attacked Shiell Ids at Lew
istown, their forces being about equal, and after
terrible battle of four hours completely routed him.
capturing six pieces of artillery and many prisoners.
1t is said the route was as complete as in the case
of Banks Our loss in both battles is estimated at
5J0 in killed and wounded.
Quite an engagement occurred between our forces
under Gen. W. D. Smith and the Yankees on Tues
day last on James Island The enemy was re-
pulsed and driven back three times, until he retired
to his entrenchments under te protection of his
gunboats. Our loss was about 6O-the enemy's not
known.
We have no news from Beauregards army, OF
from the South west. There is nothing additional
from Chattanooga to that which may be found in
our "war news column.
An Atlanta paper states that man direct from
Nashville, Tenn, afirms that ANDY johnson was
killed by Ex Gov. Neil S. Brown, account of his
vexatous and tyranncal treatment, and that Brown
was hung by the excited mob Of Yankee soldiers
forthwith.
