Gov. vANcE-Every unprejudiced, impartial,
honest man in the State is ready to admit that
more devoted Governor to all sections and to all the
great interests of the State occupied the Exc
cutive chair, than Gov. Vance. Never has Gov
ernG displayed more untirlng energy and ardent
zeal for the welfare of the people than has Gov
Vance manifested during the short time that he has
been in Office But even already is an attempt
made to prejudice the people against him. Because
Gov. Vance knew that duty called him to the scene
of action near Knston, and because he FASTENED
thither as soon as fighting became imminent, the
charge is made that he is negecting his duties at
the capital.
We hope the Governor will pardon us for as
sociating his with that of the low grovelling
editor of the State Journal yet we feel called upon
to notice any such charges, emanating even from
low source. Gov. Vance knows his duty and he
will discharge that duty. The people have full con-
fdence in his good intentions, his sagacity and
wisdom, and low down attacks will only excite the
contempt Of all fair.minded persons Greensboro

An ARBITRARY Acr.-A good deal of excitement
has been produced in Raleigh and elsewhere in the
State by the arrest OF the Rev. Mr. Graves of Orange
county, and his removal to Richmond and confne-
ment in prison there 1t appears that Captain Mac
cubbin, chief of the Richmond detective force, was
sent to Orange county to make the arrest; that he
arrived on Sunday and found Mr.. Graves engaged
in conducting religious services in the Presbyterian
Church at or near "The Oaks" Maccubbin sat
down quietly in pew until the conclusion of the
services, when he arrested Graves, but allowed him
to preach another discourse that evening, the Cap
tain attending on his ministry. He slept With his
prisoner that night and started to Richmond with
him the next day.
Gov. Vance was telegraphed to about it, and
being himselfabout to leave Raleigh for Wilmington,
asked the Mayor Of Raleigh to stop the parties on
their arrival at Raleigh; but they appear to have
taken some other route as the Mayor could not find
them in the cars. The next that is heard of them
is their arrival in Richmond and Imprisonment of
Graves
Such arbitrary acts are of very bad tendency.
They are too like those of Lincon.-Ftyetteois o.
serUer.

ParOled Prisoners,

About 400 Of our prisoners were paroled at Kins-

from all acts during their parole, which in any way
would afford aid and comfort to the Confederate

Camp Holmes, and they are refused permission to

law, civil or military, they are thus detained, we

they will be required to assist in constructing winter
quarters for the camp. We hope there is no truth
in this The officers in command at that post must
see that such course would be palpable violation
Of their parol Of honor. Why not let the men 20

The Yankee Raid.


One of the NEST dsgraceful affairs Of the war to
the enemy, is the recent raid upon the Wilmington
and Weldon Railroad. His force as first noticed at
Kinston vas at least $4,000, being five to one to
Gen. Evans. Our killed and wounded was SMALL
the enemy's heavy. He took about 400 prisoners
of our force drove us beyond Kinston, entered the
town and pillaged it, and retiring burnt the rail.
road bridge, to prevent pursuit by our increasing
forces At Whitehall the enemy suffered severely.
We are assured that the enemy were reinforced
every day from Newbern, until his number, as es-
timated by some, increased to 10000 men. He ad-
vanced to the Rail Road, protected by the river,
tore up the Road and burnt bridges, &c, and i'm
mediately retreated back to Newbern. 1t is under
stood that the damage to the Road can be repaired
in few days. The reported burning of Everitts-
vile and private dwellings BY the enemy, is untrue
A gentleman informs us that he witnessed the re-
treat on Friday last near Kinston: The wagon train
was!upwards of miles in length, and the army was
passing the entire day, in a'close column, and at
quick pace. His whole demeanor indicates as much
fright as if we had had lOO 900 men ready to pounce
upon him.

We are compelled to omit the proceedings of Sa-
turday. Several bills were passed into laws and
ratified, which will appear in the captions.
The two Houses, by large vote, declared the
office of Adjutant General vacant but did not fill it

circumstances, the Office has been declared vacant
the Governor may deem it his duty to fill it.
The revenue bill passed the Senate, but failed
IN the Commons for want Of time. 1t will no doubt
,,a the first measure which will engage the stten-
ton of the Legislature when it re-assembles.
The bill to raise ten thousand State troops passed
the Commons, but failed in the Senate for want of
time 1t would certainly have passed, if that body
could have got to final vote upon it.
Much of the valuable time Of the two Houses was
consumed by the Destructves in speech making,
and in calling the yeas and nays. The leaders OF
this faction appeared to be more intent on making
party capital, than in providing ways and means to
defend the State and uphold the cause. STILL much
business was transacted of important character,
for which the Conservatives deserve the thanks OF
their constituents.

IS A Lie Nailed to the COunter,'' and CIinched.
Our unhappy neighbor of the Register has become
so fudded by his inconsistencies, associations and
cination. Reasoning or logic has never been his
forte but what little ability he had in this re-
spect, has evaporated.
The Register charged, and said it could prore,
that Col. George Little had offered the Chief Clerk
of Treasurer Courts, Mr.. W. R. Richardson, sala-
ry of 81, 900 to remain in the office. We "nailed
that lie to the counter by producing letter from
Mr.. Richardson, in which he emphatically denied
that Col Little had made any offer to him whatever
in regard to his salary.
Now, how does the Register attempt to slip from
under this charge Of making false statement in re-
gard to Col. Little? Why, it first gives letter
from Mr.. Richardson in which he rciterates the de-
NAL that Col Little ever proposed anything in re-
gard to his salary. Does that exonerate the Regis
ter So far from it, it clinches the nail What
then? Why the Register brings to its aid its next
friend and bed-fellow, one John Spelman, who as
serts that Mr. Richardson told him and Others that
Col. Little did make the offer. Does that exonerate
the Register from the charge? Certainly not We
simply denied that Col Little had made the Offer
We did not say that Mr.. Richardson had not said
so. That issue we did not make. 1t is not binding
upon us to make any defence of Mr.. Richardson :;
yet, perhaps, it is due to him TO say, that in
question of veracty, pending between him and John
Spelman alone, nine-tenths of this community, who
know both of the men, would believe Mr. Richard
son. Whether the Register is worthy of credit in
its malicious assaults against better than ITSELF
honest men will hereafter doubt since it repeats in
its columns what John Spelman tells it! Fie, fe,
Mr.. Register! Alas 4! how fallen
