The Progress makes its appearance
to-day under new auspices, and altogether
new management. We come before the.
people of North Caroline sss sarSSstadvux
Gates OF that glorious Union which her
patriotic ancestry 80 nobly aided to cement
and establish.
The Progress, has been heretofore
one of the most virulent and bitter oppo-
ssrs TO the Government ia the South, and
its former proprietor, mot satisfied with.
treason already committed, has flied his
cup Of bitterness by openly taking up
arms against the Union which so long fos-
tered and nourished him. En sB
MILITARY GOVERNOR.
Brigadisr General John G.. Foster. Of
the first brigade, has been appointed Mil
itary Governor Of the city OF Newborn
and ito suburbs This is what We call
putting the right man in the right place..
and itgives MS great pleasure to greet our
commander rs Governor.
Merit alone has promoted him, not in-
fuence. If he makes rs good Governor
as he is General the municipality af
Newbern will not suffer from the change.
The esProgress' has = sound article en-
the war, in which it says:
The Federal Government proposes to
deal justly and uprightly with all. 1t
simply asks the misguided men who have
been cajoled and threatened into taking
up arms to lay them down, return to their
loyalty, and enjoy the protection of
Government that is able and competent to
perform all it nndertakes. Tr En- n
All citizens, upon complying with the
requirements Of the authorities, will Be
protected in their rights and privile-
ges. ss8 2 ssttsss 80 gsea ~ ssssd
NEwBERN.
Newbern il most lorely and beautiful
city. Advsntageous,y situated, it is the
commercial csntre of large section Of
country, and large amount of business
Il done here.
The city is laid out in squares, streets
running at right angles. Astounding in
shade trees. Newbern boasts also of .
theatre, q magnificent Masonic Hall,
churches, and an Academy. 1t certainly
in midsummer must be paradise; even
now the grass is green, peach and plum
trees in bloom, the trees preparing to put
on their leafy vestments. Citizens and
merchants, who, infected with the panic,
fed al the approach of our victorious
forces, are beginning to return, and ..or-
der once more reigns in Warsaw

pentine, and rs bales cotton.

Monday morning Parsoa Brownlow
met some thirty Methodist preachers a.
the Methodist Book Concern, and made
. brief speech. He knew only three Meth
odist breaches who were loyal Bishop
Soule condemned the, rebellion he did
not dare do more, becsuse he would be
hung, old as he is. The Bishop had TO
swear to support the Confectionery. Nj.
Rroxnlox said the Southern churches
were ruined for good. Union people
would net hssr ssessaion Prsaehen, nor
those who we're loyal.
He, the speaker, owed Iii osospe 70 the
protests Of his friends IL East Tenne ssee,
which is Union FIVE to onc) and to the
political civilisn leaders Of Tennessee, I
SAYING ifhe (Drcwnlow) was kept, twelve
oftheiF leaders would be sacrificed. His
wifb aAA children we're detained % hosta-
yes for his egood conduct" He told
bis wife to make up her mind to be exc
,uted, as he should certainly speak and
write against the Confedeacy.
The worst men, be remarked, in the .
Southern Confederacy are Methodist,
Baptist, Presbyterian and Episcopalian
sHeaeAeFs They drink aud swear On
week days, and preach on Sundays. When
hey become Seeesh, they bid farewell to
aonesty, truth and decsncy. The Con- +
ederacy originated in lying. stealing and
'efjury. Floyd did the stealing, the com
non masses the lying. and fourteen Sen .
ton from the Cotton States the perjury, !

'eats in the United States Senate. and
