elaborate defense OF the cha OF policy which wa
naugurate in connet ing our wee with this ouros
The Progress will here ter advocate an adherence
to tho Federal Compact, and labor assiduous'y to
preserve the Federal Union without one star being
botted out, or its lus or even being dimmed. We
shall endeavor to pursue an impartial and inde-
pendent course toward oil with whom we have
intercourse To this end we shall not war upon the
pecular institutions or reserved rights Of any class
but shall advocate adherence TO all CONSTITUTIONAL
requirements under which our nation has thrved 30
long and happily.
In. ProPress has been heretofore one OF the most
vrulent and bitter opposers to the Governmen. 10
the South and its former proprietor. rot satiateo
with treason already committed has filled his cup OF
bitterness by openly taking up arms against the
Union which 90 long fostered and nourished HIM.
That Government 90 foully and wickedly wronged,
has taken possession of this office and henceiortn all
publications emanating from il will aim to disaouse
The Southern mind of that prejudice snd error which
has been encouraged by previous publications. We
war not with the ins buttons OF tho South or with
opinions; we war rather with those demagogues
who have 40 infamed the public mud and caused an
appeal to necessary TO vindicato the majesty VI
law and good government.
| To this end therefore we shall devote all our en-
ergies to sustain the Union az it WAS. Tho world
never saw better or more just Government tex,
cited the envy of the whole civilized universe, and
hence demagogues sought to dismem6er IL ana use
upon its ruins but with i'll success The people OF
the Republic rallied to the support OF the Govern
nsnt and buried back the armed cohorts of rebellion
and are now crushng out the last seeds OF disunion
There ia no gainssying the fact. The recent victo
RES of the unionists at Forts Henry and Donelson
Columbus, Springfield, Bowling Green, Roanoke
Nashville Mnrlreesboro', Newbern, aud the evacu-
alton Of Manas.as oil go strongly TO show that the
bravado OF the demagogue has been dissipated, and
that the msjesty of Government and law VIII be
nobIy indicated.
We do moi propose TO enter into long, prosy de-
tail of what we propose 10 do; suffice IL to cay, We
know our duty, and knowing 1t, shall faithfully
4 try TO perform 1t. We are aware that we may err
sometimes in Judgment but to err is human, ana we
only claim that charity to us that we, In reversing
posi,ons sAsuld be willing to accord to Others Iry
s and well try TO give you journal OF which the
psople of New6ern and the Old North State may
nstly be proud Literature, Agriculture, Commerce,
Art, and Science will find fitting place in our
columns.
Saturday mornings, until We receive supply OF
paper from tho North when we shallissue tri-weekiy
or daily.
MILITARY GOVERNOR.
Brig Gen John G.. Foster Of the First Brigade,
has been appointed Military Governor of the city Of
Newbern and its suburbs Tbs Is what we cali
putting tho right in the right place. and it gives
US great pleasure to greet our commander rs
Governor Gen. Foster is an old and tried soldier,
having served in Mexico, and Captain unoer III .jor
Anderson at Fort Sumter. The battle OF Newbern
was the twelfth action in which he has been en-
Gagged. Merit alone has promoted him, not influence
| 1.-The makes as good a Governor AS he is General,
the municipality OF Newbern Will not suffer from
tho change.
| THE WAR.
The civil war row convulsing our land bids fair to
be brought TO speedy termination. Victory after
victory seems to aight upon the Union banners and
Onward is the word
i AZ the European powers have utterly refused TO
recognize the southern Confederacy Of demag2gues,
aud thus shut OF all hope of foreign assistance, the
rebel cause is brought to the verge OF dissolution.
As the Union arnics advance, the honest portion Of
Southern yeomany see wherein the strength Ges,
and the exposure OF the sophistry AID falsehood ut
tered BY the charatan who aspires to lie I'd them on
ia rebellion against the best Government the world
ever saw They also zee that the Union soldiers are
not given to rspine and needless shedding OF blood.
:, These are arguments that are hard to be denied.
Their men who taken prisoners are treated with
great lenity.
Another prominent and noteworthy fact il, United
States Treasury notss are. md hare 6ecn -fr a
long time SELLING for 80 per cent premium Mrovgh-
out the Con e4racy II the Rebels are so confident
of success why does not their own money circulate
in preference! IL cannot be for want of shn-plast
srs for the Southern States are full of them rs
Egypt was of locusts Coming events cast their
shadows before nnd is this fact that induces them
thus TO acknowledge the moro stable currency OF the
Union.
| The Federal Government proposes to deal justly
| upriIhtIy
men who have been cajoed and threatened into TAX
inc ND arms to lay them down return to their 10y
alty and enjoy the protection OF Government that
is able and competent to perform all II upoertahes;
while the insgators and arch-traitors who have IN.
auourated this reign Of terror tink into gloom and
obscnr;ty pay the penalty Of their perfdy, and fall
into traitors graves, anwept, unknelled, unmourned
and unsnng. 90
All citizens upon complying with the require
ments Of the authorities Will be protected In their
rights and priyeges. There need De no hesiiancy
| ON their part The Government is able and willing
10 make good all its promises, and the character OF
the 0entlemen ia command Of this Department Is a
sufficient guaranty OF their hdehty
NEwBERN.
| Newborn j, most lovely and beautiful city. Adj
vantageously situated 1t lie the commercial center OF
a large section OF country, and large amount OF
business is done bere. Ii has good harbor railroad
communication and all the modes OF transit demanded
by bu.nars people. The city is laid ont In squares,
the streets running at night angles, and aboundine IN
shnd. trees. Newbern boasts also OF a theater,
m,onifcent Masonic Hall, churches academy, and
all the ct ceteras OF civilization.
II certainly must in midsummer be a paradise:
even now the grass is green peach and plum trees
in bloom the trees preparing to put on their ieay
zens md merchants who, Infected with tie panic
fed on the approach Of our victorious forces, are
beginning 10 return, and " order once more regns
in Warsaw" We have two marine railways, ma
chine shops roein and turpenlue SUNS eoIso. gus
etc. innunerxbe. IN fact, Newbsrn is III advance
Of anythiog we have seen in tho South, since we
entered Maryland. May she now continue loyal,
and 40 on and prosper.
