Col. Vance and his REGIMENT.


As many of our readers feel deep concern
for Colonel Vance and his regiment we will state
what we know of his movements and situation
since ne reached Richmond The Colonel arriv-
60 AZ Richmond on Wednesday the 26th, his reg
lment forming part of Gen. Ransom's brigade.
ne rested an hour or two in the public square, and
nen proceeded under orders to the neighborhood of
the Seven Pines, where he had sharp skirmish
with the enemy. He took part with his regiment
In the terrible struggle Of Tuesday below Richmond.
we have seen no account of the killed and wounded
OF bis regiment in that battle but we learn that the
brigade to which Col. Vance is attached, charged
tor one mile and quarter under the fire of 80 pieces
OF artillery, with shells weighing 800 pounds falling
on the field from the cnemy's gun-boats. Colonel
Vances regiment behaved nobly. They never fall
tered, but went forward, shouting for old North
Carolina" and old Ze5" The Colonel was in
'front.' Four of his gallant dead were found next
morning within 40 feet of the lannon's mouth
ahead Of every other Southern regiment for no 9TH
or dead were found so near the guns. Capt John
Jones, Of CALDWELL getting separated from his regi
ment in the darkness and confusion pressed straight
on towards the flashing of the guns, until stopped
and turned back to the right by Gen. Ransom. 1t
Was glorious affair for our arms, and among the
bravest of the brave on the occasion were Vance
and his regiment
We learn that Gen. Ransom's brigade, to which
Co.. Vance belongs, has been transferred from Gen.
Huger's to Gen. Longstreets division, and that the
latter division is the enemy on the James river

JOHNSTON COUNTY.

Mr. Observation-Disclosures Johnston Coun-
~ clearly indicates preference for C. B. Sanders,
ESQ.,, for the Senate, and William H. Joyner and
Seth Woodall, Esquires, for the Commons. If
either MIR. Woodall or Mr.. Joyner should decline to
run, the name of Mr.. William Avery would be &C.
ceptable to the people of the County.
The above ticket is presented to the voters of
Johnston, with the hope that it will meet the gen.
eral appreciation of the people, and thereby super
sede the necessity of heated political campaign in
this hour of peril to our bleeding country.
MANY VOTERS.
Wea agree with our correspondent as t, the fore
going ticket. They are all honest, competent, and
reliable men; and We believe tho interests of the
County, and the public interests generally would be
safe in their hands. The people of Johnston, by
large majority, are conservative; and they feel the
necessity of reform in the State government and of
banishng the fell spirit of party from our councils.
With such ticket and with "Vance and Victory"
for their watchwords, the conservatives of john
ston, composed as they Of both the old parties
will do their full part in aaying the spirit of party
ism and favoritism which has so seriously threat
ened the Southern cause and which, unless checked
by the hand of REFORM will infiict serious injury on
the country. ticket Of good and true men is now
in the field in Johnston; and let it be understood
that those who, without the best reasons shall op
pose this ticket will lay themselves liable to the
charge of fomenting discord and party strife at
time when unity and harmony should prevail

THE NORTH
Lieut.. Leonidas I. Merritt.


we are grieyed to record the death of this gal
'an' ana noOle-hearted young man. who fell in the
oattie below Richmond on Tuesday last Lieut..
MERRITT was second in command of tho Chatham
hnes, 10th regiment North Carolina troops; and
we learn from his Captain, Capt London, who
passed through this place on SundayD that he was
struck with Minnie ball, which entered his side
through his arm, and came out under his shoulder
blade. He died almost instantly. His last express
sion was, "come on, my brave boys"
Lieut. Merritt was wounded in the battle of
Wynn's Mill, and was relieved for some weeks from
duty on this account, during which time he occu-
pied his seat as a member of the Convention. He
returned voluntarily to his company, as under the
CONSUMPTION law he was exempt being Clerk of
one of the Courts in Chatham. We conversed with
him the day before he returned, and we know, as
his conduct shows, that he was actuated by the
Hottest Of duty His fellow citizens of Chat
ham were urging him to be a candidate for the
Legislature, and his election would have been Ger.
tain if he had consented to rum and this also would
have exempted him from the CONSUMPTION; but he
told he was in for the war; and he could not think
of leaving the brave boys who composed his COM
Pany, and who had stood by him in battle. He was
young man of fine attachments and unusual pro-
mise; and if his life had been spared, he would
have taken position among our best and ablest pub
lie men. We knew him intimately, and we mingle
regrets with those Of his numerous friends who
deplore his death.

The ELEcr1oN.-We find the following paragraph
in an article relating to the August election, going
the rounds of our State papers, which is calculated
to mislead our soldiers and poll-hoders and which
NAV as we'll be corrected 1t is this:
"Soldiers absent from their counties or compa-
MES, and passing through this State, may vote
wherever they may find themselves on the day Of
election"
The ordinances of the Convention authorize our
North. Carolina soldiers to vote for Governor or
other State and County officers in their companies
wherever they may be, in whatever County or State
on the last Thursday in July, which, this year,
comes on the 31st
To afford our citizens who are refugees as well as
soldiers who are on furlough or travelling, an op-
portunity to vote, the Convention passed an ordi-
nance authorizing any citizen of this State, who
may be entitled to vote at home, to vote for Cover
nor, but not for members of the Legislature or
other State or County officers, at any precinct he
might be at on the. day of election.
Therefore "soldiers absent from their Counties
or Companies, and passing through the State, may
cote for Gorernor alone, wherever they may find
themselves on the day of election" OF course, it
will be understood that refugees or soldiers belong
ing to other States, although being here on the day
of election, have no right to vote.
reference to the ordinances which we nave
published, will show the correctness Of the above.

The Sick and Wounded in Richmond.
"A snort time ago we called the attention of the
people the State to the great importance Of taking
provisions Of different sorts with them when dntv
or necessity compels them to visit Richmond. The
annexed appeal of Col. Hoke is not only opportune
but demonstrates the absolute necessity of attending
to it promptly. Our brave soldiers who have barred
their bosoms to the foe, must not suffer, if it be
within our power to relieve them. Old Richmond
glorious old Richmond, is doing all she can for
them but the whole South must help her bear the
burden. Col. Hoke speaks from actual experience,
being wounded himself in the late battle. Let US
remember the soldier. We hope the press general
ly will publish the following Card
TO THE CITIZENS OF NORTH-CAROLINA.
Those who are coming to Richmond to visit or 10
look out tor sick or wounded friends can do great
good by bringing with them boxes of provisions,
chickens, eggs butter, vegetables and such things.
They are greatly needed here there is necessarily
great scarcity OF such articles Almost the entire
surrounding counties have been subject to Yankee
plllage and devastation Added to this, the vastly
increased population drawn to this centre from the
same causes which now call our people here, rem
GERS the call Tor such supplies more imperative at
the present time, as they would tend greatly to al
levate the suferngs in the hospitals, as well as to
repensh the stock of such supplies as are each day
here becoming more exhausted. If each person that
comes will make it his business to bring with him
whatever supplies he can collect, he will do prac.
teal benefit to some suffering friends or country
men IN this city. 1 would also suggest to the Ia
dies that it is necessary to send only portion
OF their donations in money, the people here are
lavish IN their bounties, as the same amount OF
money they are able to send judiciously laid out in
hospital supplies, shirts, drawers, pants and such
things would quadrupc the benefit to the recipients
OF the same I can with truthfulness assert that
the citizens and residents of Richmond, and the Ia
dies are all bestowing their entire time and atten-
ton in experimenting and caring for the sick and
wounded and that most of the requirements for the
hospitals Tor the sick and wounded, are supplied
from their voluntary contributions and those of the
kind people in the surrounding country who can
contribute from the little that is left them. Mark

SENDING FLOUR AND BACON OUT OF THE STATE
The most stringent measures ought to be adopted
and kept up by our State government, to prevent
-four and bacon from being sent out of the State.
With bacon at 40 cents per pound, meal at 81 rs
per bushel and -four at $12 to SIS per barrel, the
laboring poor among US can scarcely live. If spec
uators and mlers allowed to send the corn, and
especially the -four and bacon out Of the State, the
poor must suffer keenly the pangs Of hunger.
Spectators are the worst enemies the South has.
They, with those who skuk from the war and at
thesame time abuse the old Union traitors,
the only Lnconltes we have among US. The scorn
of all good men and patriots and the frown of God
himself will rest on those who, for few dollars
more, sending bacon and -four out of the State,
selling it to be sent out while the poor in their
own neighborhoods actually suffering for these
articles. Such people neither for their country
nor their neighbors, so they can make money.
