For the Standard.
Mr. HOLDEN Sir: am proud of the conserva-
tive ticket for the next Legislature in our county.
| have been voting for 6ftyone years, and this to
my mind is the most acceptable ticket throughout
that have seen in all that time. Il am personally
acquainted with all the candidates, and know with
certainty, that it was a wise choice amongst our
county men.
Give us Vance for Governor, and an equally con-
servativc representation from the other counties in
the State, and an epoch will have arrived in our
State matters for which have prayed earnestly
for the last fifty years.
Parties whose object is spos, will be no longer
known, whilst We wisely sustain conservatism, the
ottspng of patriotism do greatly rejoice amidst
the horrors of desolatng war; that our people arc
acting wise part well calculated to enable us to
fight successfully to our independence, and to enjoy
it Alright after it is secured.
Roll on the ship of the old North State,
For Vance is Captain, and rich is the freight
And beacon light will soon arise,
To conouud the foolish, and enlghten the wise.
FAITH,

About twelve months ago, our company was rails

IHE CAPTAINS SPEECH IN THE Court HousE-We
understand that the Stallfederate meeting in this
City, on Friday night, which was addressed by
Capt. Bledsoe, was thinly attended and remarkably
cold in its character. A friend who was present,
and who is we'll acquainted with our people, told us
that he could count but twenty persons in the meet
ing who will vote for Capt Bledsoe. The remain
der were boys and voters opposed to him.
We learn that the Captain talked about "Holden"
nearly all the time. 1t was Hoden's" ticket, and
" IIoldens" party, and Holden" was responsible
for nothing that was good and for every thing that
was bad. We assure the Captain that we are not
candidate either for Governor, Senator, Commoner,
or Sheriff But the Captain is welcome to all he
can make by assaiiing Holden"

To the Voters of Wake County.

The State Journal of the 3Oth July, 1862, con-
tains the following:-
"MR. Afford AGAINST VOLUNTEERING.
We charged recently, upon the authority of W.
W. Clements, we'll known in this county, that Mr..
Afford advised lot of young men not to volun-
teer." The statement as given to us was that at .
muster of Affords company of militia, Nh. God.
win was there recruiting for Capt Rand's company
Of the Goth n c. Troops. Several of Mr.. Affords
company asked him (Alford) what they should do in
reference to volunteering Mr.. Afford replied, g. If
l was in your place would volunteer under no
man." The result was Mr.. Goodwin got no recruits
from that time FORTH We give the language as
nearly as We can recollect it.
MIR. Clements stated this to US upon the authority
of Mr.. William Avery who says he heard Mr.. Afford
say it.
Mr.. Afford has publicly and privately denounced
this statement Of Mr.. Avery's as "falsehood"
The other day VIC saw Mr.. Clements and drew his
attention to Mr. Affords denial of this charge MIR.
Clements called upon Mr.. Avery and writes us the
following note Let the people who know the parties
IN this matter decide it. We have the names Of
several other gentlemen Of veracity who heard Mr.
Avery say that Afford dill say what is here reported
Of him in substance.

fear it will be too late. Yours, &c.

In reply to the above give the following certifi-
cate from Mr.. Avery himself in which he denounces
this charge against me as fase:-

nal as false. l did not tell Mr.. w. W. Clements
any such thing. did not know that Mr.. Goodwin
was there recruiting for Capt Rand's Company, or
for any else; and did not hear any one ask
Capt. Afford what he would do respecting volun-
teerng. WILLIAM AVERY"

1t is unnecessary for me to add any thing to the
above. have denied time and again, the charge
Of the Journal and proved that it was not true.
Let the people judge for themselves Below I ap-
pend the statement of the Chalybeate Guards on
the subject They are my neghbors, and know,

get up volunteers, and advance the Southern cause.

DR.. Worth is now manufacturing for the State on

this, private manufactures are producing in the

In few weeks if ae untoward event occurs, the
factories in that section will be producing about
1900 bushels per day, which added to- the amount
which may be procured from the Virginia Salt
