Miss NETTIE CARPENTER, sister OF d. w.
Carpenter of the Bag1e, met with very
serious accident a few days since. While
practising at target shooting, the pistol
became deranged in some way, and while
she was looking into the barrel to discov'
er the trouble, the load was discharged
passing through her head. The wound
will doubtless prove mortal.

The Richmond Enquirer.

). The Richmond Enquirer has recently devoted two
long articles to u.s. in which it has done us great in
justice. We do not propose to-day to reply at any
length to the Enquirer, as our space is occupied by
subjects which require more immediate attention.
The Enquirer labors through two columns in re-
ply to our article on the 2sth November but it by
no means meets the points made in that article.
1t admits, both by its silence in regard to our state
ments on the subject and its unfounded charge
that the Conservatives of this State are solely nu
snced by the love of office, the fact that the admin
strat'on of Mr. Davis is strictly partizan in its char
fcter and that he is welding for faction great
government which ought to be administered by
and Tor the whole people. The "beef" Patrick
Henry incident, which the Enquirer introduces for
the purpose Of showing that the great mass Of the
people of North Carolina Influenced by their
gaSd for the spos is alike stale and inappropriate
butt amounts to the admission that the Enquirer
and its faction are in possession of the "beef,
which they intend to retain at all hazards. They
labored to break down the oil government because
they saw they were about to lose the "beef, and
they would wreck the new one, before they would
part with the carcase upon which the vultures have
settled Their motto was, diride and destroy; and
their motto now is, consolidate, and rule or ruin.
Hence they are Destructiues, and those who oppose
them, and who would save the new government, as
they desired to save the old, are Conservatives.
We tell the Enquirer that we still walk the soil
and breathe the air of freedom and that We are not
to be influenced in our course to the slightest ex.
tent by the Establishments or the frowns of power.

dtion. While money is plenty to those who have
any thing to sell, yet it was never scarter among

six ragged, hungry, bare-footed children, during
ono of the colo days of this week, in the absence
of Gov. Vance, go into the Executive Mansion and
take his seat on the steps. The Governors excel

them in and cheerfuy supplied their present wants
This is an example worthy of imitation. Many,

The News.


No change has taken place in the positlon OF
either army near Frcdcksburg since our last, ana
but little skirmishing has occurred between them.
Our forces evacuated Winchester last week on
the supposed approach of large Yankee force. 1t
turned out that small force of the enemy finding
it had been evacuated occupied it about two hours
and paroled some ninety of our sick soldiers, but
left in short order. Our forces have returned, ana
Winchester is in our possession
The Northern papers intimate that Gen. Banks is
IN command of the forces who are to advance upon
Richmond by the James and York rivers. 1t is also
supposed that column will advance IRON o1nolk'
Tins with Burnside from fredericksburg they hope
70 invest and attack Richmond by three columns
It is stated that 10 900 of the enemy left Suffolk
early this week, designed it is supposed Tor an al
tack upon Weldon. A force of the same size IS De-
leved to have left Newbern in gunboats and trans
ports, having failed in the attempt by way of Ham
ilton, and gone up the Chowan to cooperate win
the Suffolk force against Weldon. The report OF the
landing of this force in Gates has been confirmed
It would seem that the object is to out flank our
force at Franklin Depot, and to cross the Oeowan
at w lntOn OF SOue Oliler Poih', anu "o'"-oo NF
Weldon via Murfreesboro. A few days Will deter
mine the character of the movement.
We have nothing of interest from Newbern, Will
mington or Washington in regard to the enemys
movements.

turned up again in Tennessee. A dispatch to the

14Oo Abotionists, pieces of artillery, 1900 stand

Our loss was considerable. Gen. Bragg officially
announces the same. and says that Gen. Morgan
captured 1900 of the enemy, pieces Of artillery
and 1000 stand of arms, &C.
The day before Col. Wheeler captured foragng
train with so prisoners near Nashville, and Coone
Reddy captured train near Corinth.
From the movements near Vicksburg, it is be-
lieved that city will be attacked soon. Gen. Hind
man, Of Arkansas is reported to have crossed the
Mississippi with 40, 600 men. Our intelligence fro"
tnat quarter is meagre. Gen. Lowell had defeated
and driven back the enemy at Coeeville, Miss, bu
the advance of the enemy in strong force soutf
ward had compelled Gen. Pemberton to withdraw

Such is the known incapacity of Jonathan Worth
for the office of Treasurer that after his nomination
by the caucus some one of his "Conservatve"
friends offered one of the clerks in the Office nine
teen hundred dollars year-only one hundred
dollars less than the salary of the Treasurer him
sel-if he would remain in the office after Mr.
Worth's election. This clerk, whose salary now is
$1,000 year, declined to remain.-Rcgister.
We do not believe the above to be true. If such
an offer was made it was made without the knowl.
edge or the authority of Mr.. Worth.
When the Register refers to the "incapacity" of
Mr. Worth for the Office of Treasurer, it utters what
every body who knows that gentleman, ksous to be
untrue. The truth is, the Clerk referred to above
has himself been virtually the Treasurer for the
last two years, and is better qualified for the Office
than Mr.. Courts is and it is well known to all in
teligent persons thai Mr.. Worth is greatly better
qualified for the office than either of them. The
Register knows this, but the Editor is so blinded
by prejudice apd malice that he will admit nothing
that may appear to make against his own faction.
We have had quite enough Of this attempt to un-
derrate Mr.. Worth, to inure his usefulness as pub.
lie officer, and to embarrass him in his duties. The
duties Of the Office are responsible, but they are
plain in their nature and easy Of performance. If
the office is nowin the condition in which it should
be, Mr.. Worth will not be at all embarrassed, pro-
vided he is accorded the ordinary courtesy Of being
shown where the books and papers are kept, and
how the entries are made in cases where he is not
already informed; and then, if every thing is not
clear and consistent in the accounts, or in the
ner in which the business has heretofore been DONE
it will be his duty and his right to summon Mr..
Courts and his Clerk, to make such explanations
as may be necessary. Mr.. Worth, we are sure, asks

Wood The Railroad.

We alluded last week to the suffering which must
fall upon the people of this City, if our Railroads
failed to bring US the usual supply of wood.
We are glad to record that we have learned since,
that a small portion of wood has been brought in
upon the Raleigh & CASTOR Road, and that ten car
loads came in the. other day on the North Carolina
Railroad.
We could not for moment believe, that such
gentlemen as Dr. Hawkins and Mr. Webb, the Pres
idents of the two Railroads, we'll the Directors
and officers of the Roads, could refuse reasonable
and necessary demand, to allow wood to be brought
upon the Roads; and surely the military authorities
must see the necessity of preventing the seizure
of wood on the Road, designed for the people Of
