The Charlotte Bulletin "wi not be surprised ii
General Hill orders the suppression of the Whining
toni Journal" Good gracious is not that terrible
And why is all this to be done Simply because the
Wilmington Journal took the liberty to append few
words Of criticism the force Of which has not been
denied, to most remarkable order Of General Hills.
Doubtless the Charlotte Bulletin would like to have us
suppressed. We are thankful for the kind feeling, but
perhaps the editor Of that paper foges that the people
have still some rghts--that here in Wilmington we
have not yet got martial law, and that therefore the
power of suppresng the Journal does not reside with
General Hill nor any other General 1t would be well
for editors before writing to know something about the
subject they intend to discuss
About General Hill in Newbern We know nothing
whatever, and the Bulletin ought to be aware of that
fact We shall give to General Hill all due praise freely
when deserved-We shall not withhold censure when We
think that it is due.
