The Convention, on Wednesday last, after some dis
cussion, passed the Ordinance introduced by Mr..
Christian, providing that the Stockholders of this
Road may, in their discretion, change the line Of
the Road to run it the west side of the Pee
Dee River, c,ossing at or near the mouth of Little
River, and thence to the coal6elds in Chatham
County. This change in the line of the Road it is
believed, will be beneficial to the Stockholders and
to the people of Stanly, Montgomery, Anson, and
the upper part Of Richmond

The Goyernorship.

Itcannot be doubted that the mention of the name
of William 4. Graham in connection with the Gu
bernatorial chair of North Carolina at this crisis,
strikes cord which vibrates in unison with the
feelings Of the people of the State from one end
to the other. In almost every letter We receive,
and the number is very large there is an endorse
ment of his name. An intelligent friend from the
Mountain District says: "This District will give
Graham from FIVE to seven thousand majority over
any other man the squads can bring against hin" !"
The last Greensboro Patriot says:
"a number Of highly respectable gentlemen have
been suggested through thepapers suitable persons
to fill the Office of Governor but none, far as we
have been able to discover, appears to strike the
public mind so favorably as VIM. A. Graham. His
exalted talents, long experience, his high moral
WORTH stern integrity and undoubted patriotism, all
combine in designating him as the man for the present
emergency. We do not believe that there is an
intelligent man in the State who has not full conf
dence in the integrity and patriotism of Gov Gra-
ham. And if he will consent to tho use OF his
name for that purpose the people in this section
will feel that they promoting the best interests
Of the State by electing him Governor Of North

The Latest News.


On Wednesday night last the telegraph announc-
ed battle on the Peninsula, in which it was said
that our loss was 500 killed and wounded and that
the enemy was repused with great slaughter; our
forces having taken 900 prisoners and 10 pieces OF
cannon. The Richmond and Petersburg papers OF
Thursday confirm the news Of the battle, but the
several accounts vary. We compile from the En'
ouirer and the Erpress The fight on Monday oc-
CURED few miles below Williamsburg. The ene.'
my came up York river in his boats near that place,
and appeared along skirt of woods 5000 strong.
At an early hour Gen. Longstreefs division engaged
the enemy, and after severe contest, put him to
rout, Our loss in killed and wounded is said to be
22O; the Federal loss in killed and wounded is un-
known. Our forces took 623 prisoners and II pieces
of artillery. Several officers are mentioned among
the killed on our side from Florida and Virginia
The Express says that the 18th N. G. Regiment,
Col Scales, was badly cut up. Capt Irving and
Its Alexander and Thompson of Go. B., and Capt
Bailey, Co. T., are among the wounded. 1t is SAID
that in Co B. that out of So, only 25 effective men
came out
The fight was renewed on Wednesday at Bar
Evansville, 1S miles from Williamsburg and miles
from the Chickahominy river. courier which lett
the scene Of action at noon at Richmond states that
the fight was most terrific. Our troops behaved
with great gallantry, had repused the enemy three
times. The loss was heavy on both sides, and both
had been largely reinforced The anxiety is intense
to hear further particulars The 10th Mississippi
and two Virginia regiments are also sad to nave
suffered severely in the fight on Monday
We have rumors that the Yankees have landed OF
the South side of James river and taken possession
of Smith6eld and also Suffolk. We know not wha

Burnside is advancing upon Norfolk from Elizabetl
City.
From Newbern it is reported that Burnside MAJ

that that is the next point of attack.

"a Game ExpoSed 2

aWe think that we have good reasons for believ-
ing that party is being organised hereto bring out
candidate for the Office Of Governor, who will 60
before the people IS an opponent the present Ad-
inistration Of the Confederate States and endeavor
to rally party IN opposition to it {. -
The above is from the Raleigh Register. It is
possible the Register has found "a mares nest
That paper is in the secrets Of The faction which it
supports, and it may have unwittingly betrsyedits
designs. If it be the design Of any one, however,
to bring out candidate for Governor, who will 60
before the people opponent of the present Ad-
mnistration of the Confederate States the Register
has given us the first clue to it that we have heard
Certainly we have heard Of no such design among
the conservatives with whom we converse. The
fact is and it need not be disguised that the most
devoted friends of the Confederate Government in
the South are to be found among the conservatives.
The worst complaint among them that We have
heard Of against Mr.. Davis, is endorsed by the
Register-" that the Administration has made MIS-
takes" member of Congress, a secessionist who
passed through this place some days ago, we learn
admitted that the conservatives the best friends
in that body Mr.. Davis had. The most severe criti-
cisms and the sharpest attacks which have been
made upon Mr.. Davis and his administration, have
been made by the most violent original seeesionists
Many of the sharpest spectators and extortion-
ers-many who have made most out Of the gov.
ernment and out Of the people in this war, are
original secessionists and Mr.. Davis warmest pro-
fessed friends The greater part of those who have
paid least out Of their private funds to support the
war-who have hired substitutes and refused to 60
to the war, are original secessionists. We have
heard 1t said within few days that sundry persons
in this State refuse to take Confederate notes for
property debts, and anxious to invest all they
have in real estate and that they are to large ex-
tent among the original secessionists. The most
bitter denouncers of the Standard IN the State,
| are those who have no good excuse for remaining
out of the war, but are seeking Office or running
about the country to make money or keep out o.
the army. And these are the men to talk about
traitors! If Burnside were to get among them
they would, as some of the class have done ir
Newbern, if report be true be the most subseryien
will fly if they can on the approach of the enemy
but if their property holds them they will succuml
in an instant.
But to the "mare's nest" of the Register. Th
conservatives, and many of the secessionists, ar
opposed to the management Of the inefficient ad
ministration of public affairs in this State. The.
are determined, we believe, to put an end to tn
rule of that faction in State affairs as soon as pos
sible. If beyond this, there is any design to or
pose President Davis, it must be found among thos
with whom the Registsr co operates, or that branc
of the dsstructices who are little too ultra for th
Register.

TIE SED1r1oN ORDNANcE-The Charlotte Bul
letin, in noticing the sedition ordinance of Mr..
Rayner, says that "it is most bitterly denounced
by the Raleigh Standard" and then adds the fol-
lowing most fearful sentence:
"We doubt very much the loyalty to the State
or Confederate Government of any man who would
oppose the principles and provisions embraced in
the ordinance"
We hope the members of the Convention will not
faint or go into fits on reading the above. The
opinions or doubts of the Bulletin certainly are
very serious things. People will get scared If the
Bulletin don't mind.
It is a nice business-we have come to pretty
pass, when North Carolinians who pretend to res
pectabilty, will employ renegade Englishmen and
Irishmen and Virginians and South Carolnians to
come here to abuse and to call in question the 10y
atty Of such men as Badger, Brown, Graham, Dick,
Gilmer Speed Barnes, MITCHELL Berry, Warren, Sat
terthwaite, Mebane, and host Of others, the very
best men in tho State simply for the exercise of an
honest and intelligent judgment. Are these the
men that the destructices in North Carolina employ
to do their dirty work Are they to give
tone to public sentiment in this State and mould
| public opinion2 Whittier are We drifting?

Laborers Wanted-vacant Land.

We have several times alluded to the lack Of Ia
borers and the existence of large tracts of open
can't lands in Western Counties. We have been
anxious to direct the attention of our Eastern PLAN
ters who have negroes rendered every day more
liable to be demoralzed by the near approach to
them of the Yankee forces, to those Counties.
We have been little surprised that our Western
friends have not invited their Eastern brethren by
advertisement and other means to remove their force
up the country. If they want to hire hands rent
lands let them give notice by advertisement through
the papers.
The following remarks of the Salisbury Watch-
man on the demand Of Western hospitality towards
our Eastern brethren, we commend to the attention
of our Western readers:
"The hospitality of the people of Western Caro-
lima is likely to be called forth this spring and
mer, by our refugee friends Of the East who have
been driven from their comfortable, well-furnished
homes by the ruthless invaders Of our soil. 1t is
not for any one to say what should be the exact
measure of kindness shown to these friends by US
who have been more fortunate than they simply by
geographical location But the best rule of conduct
in reference to them has been laid down by Infinite
Wisdom-do unto Others as you ,o0uld haoe them do
unto you. In their condition, we would desire, and
could appreciate an act of kindness and hospitality
and there should be some pains taken, therefore,
and some self-denal made for their accommodation.
They will need boarding houses, or houses to live
in. Many of them have sacrificed to the cause Of
the South almost entire estates and may have need
to economist the remnant Of their resources. They
should be assisted in this far as practicable and
in every way made to feel that they are among

Word to the People.

We again admonish the people to meet at an early
d.y in all the Counties, and designate their prefer
ence for Governor and members Of the Legislature
They have the right to make the selection. We are
ready to submit to their decision, but not 70 eau
cuses or ciques The popular voice is evidently for
VIM. A.. Graham for Governor, but let the people IN
their primary meetings say so, emphahcaily and
Enthusiastically.

CAMp MANGuH.-We continue to hear complaints
Of the want of accommodations for sick soldiers at

to sick soldiers. We hear that one reglmentha
on the sick list more than half its number In
some cases seven to eight men are crowded into
one tent one-half Of these frequently oeing too
sick to 60 on duty. We trust the Governor himself
will take this matter in hand and see to it that bet
ter care is taken Of those who are sick in camp and
that furloughs granted in every case and grant
ed promptly, where they can be granted without
injury to the service 1t is much better every way
that the sick should be allowed to go or be carried
home, where they will receive atten.ions which can
not be Bestowed on them il camp, and where they
will much sooner recover their health We repeat,
what we said in recent issue, that every kindness
which is compatible with proper discipline should
be shown to the brave men who have come forward
to fight our battles.
