CAMP MASGuM Nav 2S 1852

Mr. EDIroR:-1n helast issue Of your paper notice
communication, written by some person who does
not sign his name, which am certain is calculated
to 60 injustice to very worthy gentleman-the
head of one of the most important departments of
our State government refer to the insinuatons
made against Major A. M. Lewis, Paymaster. Now,
MIR. Editor am one of the persons who have effect
ed exchanges to large amount with Major Lewis
and can certify upon honor, that Maj. Lewis has
never exacted or taken one cent as premium or pay
in any shape or form whatever, on account of any
exchanges he has made for me or for the members
of my company. On the contrary it has been done
at considerable inconvenience to Major Lewis, but
he has cheerfuly done it for the benefit of the SOL
diers, whose fifty and hundred dollar notes have
been exchanged for tens and twentys Of the Confed
crate notes. But your anonymous correspondent
objects to their being paid in Confederate notes.
Why? What of that? Are they not better than
N. Carolina treasury notes? Do they not pass in
every State of the Confederacy? And the man is a
traitor who tries to cast shadow upon their value !;
whereas N Carolina treasury notes do not pass out
of the State except at discount l therefore ask,
is it not kindness done to the soldier to supply
him with money he will be able to pass in any State
of the Confederacy to which he may be ordered to
fight his country's battles?
You will much oblige ne if you publish this, as
consider it nothing but justice to all parties
cerned.
Respectfully, Yours
JAS. F. FOULKES, Capt
Co. B, SD Reg. N. C. 7.

Bounty TO DISCHARGED VOLUNTEERS. Will
mington Journal having been misled into the belief
that the Convention had refused to pay bounty to
discharged volunteers over thirty five, says:
1--WE think it is a very low piece of business on
the part of the Convention to deprive the men of
their pay and clothing, as well as compelling them
to refund to the State the bounty of fifty dollars. 1t
is very mean subterfuge to save few dollars to
the public treasury"
What will the Journal say when it learns that
the Convention did provide bounty for the dscharg
ed volunteers over thirty five, and that Gov Clark
has been guilty of the livery mean subterfuge" and
every low piece of business" of withholding the
bounty from these men? Why. the Journal will
either suppress the facts or it will say, reflection,
that Gov. Clark is right.
By the way, we have heard Of many cases of
peculiar hardship, resulting from this unaccounta
BILE conduct of Gov. Clark. Up to the time Of
writing this he still adheres to his decision that
volunteer thirty five shall be discharged unless
he refunds his bounty. In this way men are kept
here who ought to be at home with their families,
making crops. If they will pay their way out,
they may go; but if they insist on holding on to
their bounty which justly belongs to them they are
to be retained until they discharged by the con-
script act and even then they not to get their
bounty. This is not only unjust, but in violation
of the ordinance of the Convention.

PATRIOTIC Acr1oN.-The following are the admir-
able resolutions says the Fayetteville Obseroer
adopted by the late Convention Of the Episcopal
Church in this State. They were written by the
Rev. Mr.. Hard, Rector Of the Chapel of the Cross,
Chapel Hill
Resolued, That in this day of our national trial,
the Protestant Episcopal Church in North Carolina,
confident in the justice of the cause for which the
people of the Confederate States contendng, is
ready to bear, both firmly and cheerfuy, all such
troubles as, by the Providence of God through the
circumstances Of the times, may be brought upon
her, whether in her corporate capacity, by means
of the privations of her individual ministers and
members
Resolued That believing that righteousness alone,
in the end, either exalteth saveth nation, she
pledges herself to- put forth all her energies for the
cultivation, by Gods help, in the Southern people,
of those virtues which win the favor, and for the
eradication Of those vices which cannot but incur
the wrath, Of the King of Kings and the Lord Of
Lords.
. Resolusd, That her fervent prayers shall ever
ascend to her Heavenly Master, that He will endow
our rulers with wisdom, and crown our arms with
victory.

STRAWBERRY PLAINS, J
Camp Junaluska, :
May 10, 1862. }

". W. HOLDEN, ESQ.,: =
Dear Sir: From information received from Raj
egh, 1 presume that the Convention remained in
session but a few days. 1 am at present with the
1st and I'd companies of the i" North Carolina Cher
okee Battalion" stationed at this place to guard
Railroad bridge which the tories around it are SO
anxious to destroy. The troops that had been sta
toned here having been armed and equipped, have
been sent to the Cumberland mountain, where
battle will be fought soon of vast Importance in its
results. If overpowered at the Cumberland our
troops will very probably have to fall back on the
Iron or Smoky mountains. So far, the Indian COM
panies have set an example worthy of imitation by
the whites, in sobrety, morality and submission to
the duties required of soldiers They bid fair at no
distant day, in Tennessee, at least, to prove them
selves better friends to the South and the Southern
cause, in this our day of trial, than some persons
who claim to be of pure white origin-who have no
merit of their own BESIDES except to stay at home,
and speculate on the necessities of the families of
the soldiers who are fighting the battles of their
country, for the purpose of achieving our liberty
and independence.
have no fears Of the final result but I have no
doubt that many important battles will be fought
during next summer. In my opinion, our forces
ought to be strengthened in East Tennessee during
next summer, and if necessary, portion OF our
forces could be removed to Eastern North Car5lna
upon the coming of frost.
Yours truly, WA. ID. IHoMAS'

Cox TATNALL.-Our readers will recollect the
statement of Com. Tatnall, charging the pilots of
the Merrimac with the responsibility of her de-
struction. We omitted in our last to state that the
pilots have replied in lengthy card, entirely ex-
onerating themselves from blame and pouring
broadside into the old Commodore. We suppose
an investigation will be had fixing the blame of the
unnecessary destruction of that powerful vessel
upon the proper shoulders. It was one of many of
Mr.. Secretary Mallory's blunders, in calling Com.
Tatnall now old and infrm, to the command Of that
vessel, who was entirely ignorant Of her character
instead of appointing It. I. Catesby Jones tc the
command who had shown himaelf equal to the
task, after Com. Buchanan was wounded, by his
splendid and gallant achievements. It. Jones was
at home on board of her; Com. Tatnall was not.

2sth On that day everything is represented as
being quiet on our lines A severe rain on that day
rendered operations difficult On the 29th no mail
left Richmond for the South, and but few passen-
gers, nor is there any telegraphic news later than
the 2Sth.
The enemy was in possession of Ashland, on the
Central Road, IS miles north of Richmond. Our
sick and wounded there had been removed to Rich
mond. Telegraphic communication had been cut
off from Richmond in that quarter Soldiers report
a serious engagement on the 9th between Gen.
Branct,'s brigade and large Yankee force, but
nothing official or reliable had been obtained from
it. There are no stronger evidences of general
fight around Richmond than there was ten days
ago unless we censtrue the entire lack Of news by
telegraph or otherwise to mean something.
Gen. Jackson is pressing on the advantages of
his victory over Banks tits said that Banks army
has fled precipitatey into Maryland Col. Ashby's
cavalry had taken possession Of Martnsburg, efec-
tually breaking up the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
and capturing an immense amount OF stores.
Gen. Heth met with reverse at Lewisburg. He
attacked superior Yankee force and was compelled
to retire with some loss.
1t is SAID that Lincoln is again enlisting troops
100000 men not being sufficient to "crush the re-
bellion."
Two Confederate steamers have safely arrived at
somc port, laden with arms, munitions and other
valuables.
The New York Herald announces that Gor. STAN
ly and suite with Others accompanied by 20 of our
paroled prisoners, had left New York for Beaufort.
Gen. Rosencranz we see, has been ordered to join
Gen. Halleck.

SIR: The question who shall be our next Cover
nor is one OF public interest, and it becomes our
outy as ihtellgent freemen to be careful who we
place IN that responsible position. In times of IA.
tlonal peril and Distress like the present our best
and truest men should be at the helm Of Slate to
guide her safely through the breakers.
Past political prejudces and party feuds should
be forgotten. 1t is amentnble fact that those in

The people will now have a chance to say who shall
De thelr ruler Merit will influence them in their
choice They alone have the power to decide this
important question.
Inc oo)ect OF this communication is to suggest to
the voters, Col. z. B. VANCE, of Buncombe. as the
proper man for the place.
His past conduct both in legislative assemblies
and upon the battlefield entte him to public favor
and confidence. In the former, his voice has often
been heard in behalf of his constituents, trying to
roll back the tide of which threatened to desc
late their homes, but when all his efforts proved
fruitless, he clad himself in "war's stern array
and left his pleasant mountain home, to battle for
their just and sacred rights.
Soon afterwards he was placed at the head of a
brave and gallant regiment, the highest military po-
slton the people could give him; and justly de-
served the distinguished command recently confer
ed upon one'less worthy, though he belonged to the
right party to receive honors from those who have
the power to give.
AS to Col. Vance's qualifications to fill the Office
with honor and ability, need say nothing to those
who know him. With mind to conceive, spirit
to sustain, heart to encourage, and hand to exc
cute, he has proved himself eminently worthy Of
every honor his fellowcitiz has conferred upon
him.
He is for prosecuting this unholy war with the
"utmost vigor and effect" until the vandal hordes
are driven from our soil, and our independence
gained.
Should he receive the nomination, the people
down this way will go for him, and majority o.
the soldiers will feel proud of the chance to cas-
their votes for him. respectfully,

The CoMMIssARIAT AGA1N.-A number of coun-
try people have come into town with very long

better be administered upon the claws of the

2Gth Req, MAY 25, 1862. (

Mr. EprroR:-Iti is enough to excite the sympa-
thv of brave men to the long faces Of the young
gents, who have thought about enough of their
country during this war to always have urgent
business at home and saying, 60 on, my brave boys
shall soon be there with you, but have never ar
rived But in the height of their glee, the con-
scription bill is passed, with its exemptions What
do we hear of them next? A doctor is gone to
Richmond, to be appointed Postmaster at -;
another young, clean-aced, slick-haired mer-
chant is out with subscription for school; and
when interrogated when pay day would come on,
"Oh, that makes no difference, perhaps you need
necer pay" And to our astonishment he actually
obtained sufficient number to exempt him from
service. Such exemptions as these are what twelve
months men complain Of We think all are equally
interested in the struggle for independence but what
ought to be done with those who stay at home? ?
We think over thirty five years Of age could at
tend to postofces and with the aid Of many ladies'
could teach country schools.

all such characters with contempt If this cap fits
any person anywhere else, and it should in any way
pinch, will say, you can get rid of it BY doing
better in future.

Hon. VIM. A. Graham publishes a card in the
Raleigh Standard declining to be candidate for
Governor. He is one of the old politicians of the
State and glad he has declined, for we think
the great mass of the people are tired of voting
for such gentlemen. Mr. Graham has saved him
self and friends the modification of defeat-Char-
lotte Democrat
Our friend of the Democrat has allowed the re-
membrance Of old party feeling to get the better of
his courtesy and sense of justice. If Mr.. Graham
had been seeker of Office there might be some
excuse for fling at him by an old party opponent
But when he declines Office, and especially in view
of the fact that he has sent five sons to the army,
(every one of whom, we believe, entered as a pri-
vate) we submit to the Democrat that he is entitled
to decent respect from all who wish well to the
great cause for which he makes such sacrifices But
the Democrat not only outrages the feelings of this
sefsacrlfcing patriot-it refuses to give Mr.. Gra-
hams very briefly stated reasons for declining
nomination made by more presses, meetings, and
individuals, than any other citizen of the State
boast of, SO far.
The occasion would justify some reflections upon
the idea that the people are tired of voting for old
and experienced statesmen, and that by inference,
new and inexperienced men must be called to the
helm at this period of greatest peril But we for
bear.-FaysttsoiIls C6sercer.
