COL. Y. B. VANCE.

The unan;mity and harmony, which, in times of
of emergency, unite public opinion and preference,
in their selection of canddare for an important
office, are often striking and imposing. We find
the people in our section, including the masses of
the old parties, are anxious that Col. VANCE
should be the next Governor of North Carolina
The same feeling is manifesting itself over the
State. For ourselves, the only anxiety we have
had, was that we should have an honest able,
prompt and efficient Executive ;-one who would
ndustriousy study, and quickly learn his duty, and
efficiently and promptly perform it. without favor or
partiality, discarding all envy, hatred or malice,
soliciting no reward, but an approving conscience
but ready to reward with just praise and attention.
all who faithfully serve their country in this hour
Of trial and danger.
We believe the masses are moving in the right
direction. -
Mr.. Vance is gentleman of genius and ability.
He is industrious, vigilant and active Ever ready,
late and early, for labor, and for service He has
won approval and distinction in every position to
which the people have raised him. We verify be-
lieye he win be impartial, respector Of persons
parties But be prompt to do all justice as no
will be to do his whole duty to his whole country

his father-inlaw, N. N Nixon, Esq, appears in the
Wilmington Journal of Tuesday last:
"RIcHMoND, Va, June End, 1852.
Col. c. T. N. Davis, of the 10Th Regiment N G..
T., fell on the evening of the 30th ult IN the fight
on the Chickahominy, whilst leading his regiment
against the enemy's batteries. He was left on the

His conduct was gallant and glorious beyond all
praise"
His conduct was gallant and glorious beyond all
praise" Let this be inscribed upon his tomb
Wounded three times, he still led his regiment on,
until he fell to rise no more
Col. Davis was a native of Halifax County, Va,
and was about 80 years of age. He studied the pro-
fession of the law and settled in Burke County, in
this State, where he soon obtained strong hold on
the confidence of the people. He represented the
Burke district for term in the State Senate and
having subsequently removed to the County of
Rutherford, he was elected to the House of Com
mons of the last Legislature from that County
Soon after this State had separated from the old
government, he volunteered as private in Ruth
erford company, and was made Captain. As Cap
tain of company G, 10th regiment he encountered
all the perils and privatons of the campaign in
Northwestern Virginia, during the past winter. On
the reorganization of this regiment he elected
Colonel, and it was while leading the regiment in
the battle near Richmond, that he lost his life We
knew him well. He was a noble-hearted, gallant
gentleman. He has fallen with his face to the foe,
in the full performance of his duty a soldier and
patriot. The recollection of his numerous virtues
will long be fresh in the hearts Of his countrymen
and friends.

hereby notify the citizens of North. Carolina
and the Confederate States generally that the official
report of Brigadier General Branch, relative tn the
battle of Newbern violates in various instances the
truth of history, and does therefore gross injustice
to the officers and men Of the 35th Regiment of N.
@. Troops. This can be established Immediately by
persons and documents which even the valorous
General himself will not be able to gainsay. This,
however refrain from doing at present. solely upon
patriotic grounds. But when the God Of battles
shall give us name and place among the nations
OF the earth, and peace once more smiles on our
beloved country, hereby bind myself to show to
the satisfaction Of even those who are now preju-
diced against the 35th Regiment andits officers that
tho battle OF Newbern was lost LIST, By drunken
necs. I'd. 1ncompetency. 3rd Personal lack Of
courage and presence of mind in the presence of the
enemy.
That the public may be aware of some and only
some the causes which have led the calorous Gen.
eral to make the 35th Regiment the scape.g goat of
the Newbern disaster, the following communication
which passed between Gen. Gatin and its officers
in relation to the qualifications of the said valorous
General is respectfully subjoined

The Richmond Fight.

Our readers will find in another column an in
teresting account of the battles near Richmond on
Saturday and Sunday last. 1t is as full as we
able to make it from the Richmond pa pers up to
this writing.
1t will be seen that our forces fought with despe-
ration. Along side of our brave men from other
States, North Carolina bore her full share of the
brunt of the conflict Hundreds of families in the
State mourn the noble dead and the many wounded,
who stood up with heroic bravery and fell at last
on that holly contested field. The old State is
proud of her sons. They have well sustained the
gallantry of their fathers.
The wounding of Gen. Johnston, commander in
chief, has been scarcely mentioned by the papers.
He was wounded on Saturday by spent shot in the
groin. His wound is not considered dangerous,
but he was compelled to leave the field. Gen. G.
A. Smith succeeded him, though 1t is believed that
Gen. Lee is now in command.
The ground, as we'll as the condition of our men,
owing to great exposure and but little wholesome
food we're unfavorable to success; but notwith-
standing these odds and the superior arms and
numbers of the enemy, our forces drove them from
their entertainments to the swamp and obtained
signal success. We can but regret that any cause
should have prevented our forces from following
them up on Monday and completing the victory
In every instance during this war where we have
stopped or fallen back for any cause and given the
enemy time to recover, we have been damaged
Our troops retired on Sunday night to better po-
sition, and the enemy at came back to his first
entertainments and camps. The work, therefore, is
to be done He is entrenching again. which
will require an immense sacrifice Of life to beat him
back.
The numbers of the enemy on both wings where
the battle was delivered were about 60,000-ours
about 40 to $4,000. Our losses or that of the enc
my are not yet ascertained correctly.
The place near which the battle of Saturday last
was fought is not Bear or Boar, but BOU Swamp,
so called from tn fact that the swamp at that point
is in the shape OF bow.

THE CRoPs.-The impression very extensively
prevails in the State that the late rains have
seriously damaged the wheat crop, and may very
materially affect the corn crop in the rich low lands.
Would it not be good idea in view Of this for the
planters generally to plant an unusually large crop
Of Irish and sweet potatoesl We are told that Irish
potatoes dug in June, after being cured well, will
produce second crop if planted in July The yield
of the second crop is in every way equal to the first
and much easier kept during winter. Perhaps it
would be well for our cotemporares to call general
attention to this matter.
! A friend writing US from Randolph County, says:
Wheat is doing very poorly, and from present
indications it will fall very far short Of an average
crop. Oats and grass indicate q fine prospect"

many kindTesseS we have called it the Vance Wheat
in honor of Hon. T. B. Vance
We sowed about half of it and our neighbor ".
A. Mccoy sowed the other half Thus far it is the
finest prospect we have seen, and bids fair to
become the wheat for this region. For while nearly
all the wheat in the country is severely damaged by
the rust this has not particle on it A few heads
OF bearded wheat are growing in the wheat which
have the rust on nearly every blade, and yet the
Vance wheat is entirely free from it. We shall,
FIVE succeed in raising well, have few bushels
to dispose of and those first coming will be first
served. And if the wheat does well in the coun-
try, as he for whom it is named has done in Congress

We learn that DR.. Crudup, of Franklin, has the

from rust the present season. He has promised to
send US sample of this wheat- We trust he will

We hear from various portions of the State that
the wheat is greatly injured by the rust. The yield
