THE GOVERNORSHIp

1t is not our purpose in this communication to
speak of the palpabe imbecility and ,favoritsm of
the escnt head and Gd5uncts of our State govern
ment That there is want, depIorable want of
competency and honesty in the administration of
affairs, is notorious every where, throughout the
length and breadth of the State The people are
consoled, that the day is close at hand, when a
change is to be made. Their strong voice will echo
from the ballot-box in August.
Who IS to be our Governor? The candidates
now before the public are Col z. b. Vance, and
C0L Johnston of South Carolina. 1t may not be
out OF place to state, for the information of the
rlous that Col Vance is IA Nor th- Carolinian, and
mat ne at one time represented his native and much
loved State IN the old United States Congress.
W mere IS Vance now, and where has he been for
the past htteen months? He was one of the first
to respond to his country's cali, and to-day, he
leads his gallant regiment, ready if heed be- to sac
rlhce hlnSef and all under his command upon the
altar OF Liberty. But they say, Vance is not the
man for Governor! On no! lie was not scces-
siOnist! and besides, he's a NortA- Ccrolinian!
The representatives of the State of Virginia and
Great Britain in the City of Raleigh, with all their
foreign notions of our State government are at
tempting, In all sorts of ways, to make the people
OF North Carolina believe that C0L0ReL Johnston
OF South Carolina is the man of ali others for their
Governor. We in North Carolina are in a depOra-
bic and pitIabe condition. if we are compelled from
necessity, to elect third rate South Carolina Rail-
road manager Governor Why has Colonel
Johnston of South Carolina many friends in and
about our State Capitol? If guessing were allowed
we would guess that it is for the sole reason that
Colonel Johnston of South Carolina is a goOd easy
sort of fellow, that would find it vastly more con-
venient (f GovcrnOT to have other people to think
and to act for him. COyOneL Johnston (if elected)
is to be mere tool for the present officials to work
with. Their policy is, first to hold on to what they
have next, to seize upon all they can get, at the
same time allowing no quarters avors, justice to
any, who were not original secessionists.
Shall Virginia aud Great Britain dictate to North
Carolina?
Is not North Carolina able to furnish her own
Governor, without going to South-Carolina after
third rate Railroad manager?
would not be surprised, if Johnston should be
Governor, CO to proposition from the Register
and Journal Tor in other words Virginia and Great
Brittany to annex our State 20 South Carolina
All the people have to know now, Is, who are our
candidates. Vance, of NOrth-Carolina, the one
hand; Johnston, Of South Carolina, on the other.

THE DESTROYER OF ARMIES,

The fact has been frequently alluded to that the
real DESTROYER Of armies shot Steel hut dis
ease enEenered 10y ciTelcSSneSS on the part OF the
men, want of discipline improper attention on the
part of the medical officers and an insufficient COM
missariat. The per cvntagc of deaths in regular
armies is always much less than in volunteer armies
and this results from the care and attention bestoE
ed on the men by the officers and the strict by
gienic rules LAID down for their guidance. The
large amount o. sickness now in cur army is, in a
great measure, owing to the want Of care on the
part of regnenta and company officers, whose duty
lies as much in looking to the health ann habits of
their men as in teaching them the Use of arms
leading them into battle. The Westminster Re
Cieo gives the following statistics Illustrative of the
power of disease:
THE statistics of the Chef d Fiat Major quoted
by Canot, who vas War Minister, gives the numbers
of the invading army which crossed the Neman on
the 24th June at 302, 900 men, 100000 horses. On
the advance to Moscow was fought the great battle
of Borodno. In this battle there were put h0rS de
cOmbat-that is, killed and wounded-on the side Of
the Russians no less than thirty Generals, 1000 Of
icers and a. O0O men, while the French, according
to Marshal BerlhierS papers, subsequently taken at
wilma, had in killed and wounded forty Generals,
1900 officers, and 81 800 men. The French, how
ever, claimed the victory naSnuCh as the Russians
fell back after the battle and left the French IN
possession of the ground. The cold began on No
