We fear that the exultation manifested
in some quarters over the result Of the re-
rent election in Nor,h Carolina will proye
as unfcunded and ll-timed as the plaudits
which announced the several triumphs at
tic ballet box Of Charles Henry Foster and
the Inauguration Of that mighty potentate
Marble Nash Taylor, Governor Of Cape
Hatteras Vance, the successful candl-
date at the recent election, is q colonel or
general in the rebel army, and it may be
doubled whetherthe election Of any num-
her Of officers in the Confederate military
service, as Governors Of the Southern
States would tend to the restoration Of
those States to the Union
The Newburn Progress graTely observes
that "Goy Stanly regards this vote as a"
t7n1Note decision in .facor Of the Union" !"
We have no doubt Of it. Gov Stan1y's
career has been such that we should pre-
sumo he would regard the cleo
lion Of an armed rebel by
4o,oeo majority as about the right thing
The only practical conclusion We
can draw from the circumstance is that
there is 10 further Use for S!an1y in tha1
ouarter. Hbe and Vance coincide in sen
1in,cut, Vance has the better right to gov
EN- the Stale, for he has been duly elected
whereas Stanly never was legally ap

eTATE OF l1L1No1s, EXECUTIVE DEpARTnExT,
sRR1saF1KLD, August 70, 1882.
To the People Of Illinois:
Fellow CITIZENS: Ny attention has been
called. more particularly during the past few
weeks, to the Sanitary condition Of our sol
diers in camps and hospitals. Although the
general health Of our azEny in the South has
very much improved since last spring, the
sick and well are alike in need Of fresh rege-
tables, fruits, and those articles Of food which
cannot be obtained in the States in which they
are quartered, but Of which We at home have
great abundance. The want OF these neces-
sary articles is more especially and painfully
felt by the soldiers confined in hospitals.
Our sanitary commissions have done aud
are doing great and noble work. Their
deeds will shine forth in glorious contrast
with the fnhunanities Of rebellion more
wicked and causeless tnan any the world la5
ever witnessed. Still the necessities Of our
brave volunteers demand greater efforts in
their behalf; and turn aside, for moment,
| from the pressing duties Of the hour, to urge
| upon you to respond to the calls Of humanity.
In the present excitement Of the cali to arms,
do not let us forget the wants Of our brave
| citizen soldiers already in the field, most Of
whom have uncompla1niugly endured saftr-
| ings and priyations OF which We, in our happy
| and peaceful homes, can have no possible con-
ccption- Let us, then, care for our brothers
in arms. Let Us save them from those tor
tures and suferings Of disease which are more
to be dreaded than the perfs OF the battle
| field itEelf.

which due notice will be given.
One shipment has been made this week, en-
confidently expect the response to this 81

The body OF Capt l. G. CRoss, who was

ENCOURAGING News,

The Petersburg Express, of yesterday,
says there can be no improperly in stating,
what is known to be fact, that an arri-
val has recently taken place at South
ern port, which will add greatly to tho
supplies of the South, and enable the
Confederate Government to place in the
field very large additional number of
armed men. The vessel came in boldly,
was not at all interferred With by the
blockaders, and enables one of Peters.
burg's citizens to reach home again after
n long absence.
The Express says that tho news from
abroad is encouraging, but deems it best,
for the present, to withhold it.
