FoRTREss MONROE, Jan. 30.-Iu sxpectation
of the success of General Burnside's Expedi-
ton, in the opening of at least two Cougres-
sional Districts, Marshal Nash Taylor, the
Provisional Governor, has issued a procla-
mation ordering an election on the 22d of
February to ratify or reject the ordinances OF
the Convention of the 18th of November
and also for the election of two representa-.
tives in Congress. The following is from to.
days and yestenday's papers:
SAVANNAH, Jan. 2O.-The city is compar-
lively quiet. No immediate attack is appre-
hended. The object OF the Yankees seems
to be to cut off all communication with For,
Pulaski. There were six Federal gun boats
at Wallis Cut, seven at the head OF Whining.
ton Island, commanding the channels of the
river. Yesterday Commodore Tatuall was
conveying two steamers and fiat boat to.
wa,d Pulaski with provisions. The enemy
opened fire upon them, and battle ensued
lasting forty minutes The provision boats
and the steamer Sampson are now returning
The Federals fired upon the latter, and she
was slightly damaged.
Fort Pulaski is now fully provisioned fol-
six months. A letter from an officer at the
| fort says that the enemy can not take it b,
any attack they can make. The Yankee!
are engaged in removing the distractions il
the channel. There are other defenses ye
to pass. The people of Savannah are firm
and are confident of their ability to defenC
the city.
| The Norfolk Day Book calls upon tn
ladies to contribute their red wooden skirt
and dresses to the Government. The price O
flannel used for ammunition being SO high
as to subject the Government to serious tax

OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.

Mr.. EDITOR: Why such a 6dgety anxiety on the
part OF certain characters of the per secession
party stripe, to know who is to be the next Cover
nor of North Carolina? 1t would be rather hard
problem to solve just now, to tell who will be the
candidates, even. think, however the anxiety of
these gentry may be relieved in some degree by
telling them who the people will not have to rule
the destinies of North Carolina First, they will
not have foreigner; secondly, they will not have
Yankee; thirdly, they will not have SECESSION
ist Of the South Carolina school, And that there
may not be any doubt who is meant under the 3rd
head, we will define the term by remarking, that
the people want no man to preside over the desti-
nes of the State that made the election of Abe Lin
coin the occasion for breaking up the government.
The question very naturally occurs to the mind of
every man, who will the people have to rule over
them? They want man whose name is q tower
of strength-an honest, competent mana man of
sterling integrity and iron will, that knows his
whole duty, and dare do it-a man that will shape
his course in reference to the good of the State and
country, and not in reference to his personal ag-
grandzement They want man that understands
man that can comprehend his whole duty at q sin
gle glance-they want man that will keep the Of
cers of State both civil and military at their posts
and hold them to strict accountability for their
conduct, and not permit them to swagger about the
country villages, towns and cities, saturated in
whskey, with cigar stuck in their mouths. 1t
won't do, gentlemen--there must be change, and
that speedily, or We are a doomed people You
have fought the Yankees often enough around the
fre.side and in the whiskey shops. Lay down
your cigars, break the whiskey bottles and return
to your posts, and that speedily. Attend to your
duty as did Washington, jackson and Taylor, and
success will crown your efforts upon every battle
field. We want a statesman. Let US cast about,
and see if the man can be found that will meet the
emergency as peace offering to the no-Party Sc
cession party. l would most respectfully suggest
the name of the Hon. William A. Graham. Will
the gentlemen accept the name,I and thereby give
one evidence, at least Of their honesty Of profession
and patriotsmS - ,-...., J. I. H.

The RIGHT SPIRIr.-A friend in Alamance writes
US as follows This is the true spirit, which should
actuate every man in the State able to bear arms.
The hesitancy and unwillingness of many of those
to volunteer. who were ready TO fight and die be-
fore the war came upon us, has done immense dam
age. Now is not the time for any true North Carroll
nian or Southerner to hesitate or frame excuses
We must 6ght-fght fercely or be conquered

IL am proud osay, that old Hawfelds still main
tains the spirit of '7G. Although we were almost

We are now united as one man against Lincoln and
his Northern hordes. Every man, young and old,

Mr.. stephens, Suggestion.

The Richmond correspondent of the Charleston
mercury makes the following statement:
Il. Vice President Stephens, 1t the formation of
Tue government, urged that hundred or even two
aunureo millions worth Of cotton should be pledged
IN europe 10. armor-ciad ships, completely manned
ana EQUIPPED by means of which we could have
bid defiance to the Yankee nasy."
The suggestion indicates the strength and sound.
ness of Mr.. Stephens judgment If the Confeder-
ate government had made ample provision, as every
consideration Of policy and prudence dictated, for
iron.clad ships, arms and ammunition, no Southern
port would this moment have been blockaded, and
Fortress Monroe and Fort Pickens would now have
been in our hands. Whether President Davis re-
fused to act upon the suggestion, as the Asrcurys
correspondent AYERS, We know not but we are sure
it ne could recall the last twelve months, he
would have them in short order. The whole mis-.
fortune of our inadequate supplies doubtless is at
tributabe to the shortrsighted policy of "peacea-
able secession"

Elitor Of tile Standard:
SIR: have not seen you since the fall of Roam

since l reached home. l understand the Virginia
papers charge the North Carolinians with coward.

Of the battle was given by men who ran from the
Island before the battle ended and think they
knew nothing about the matter, except that they
ran with all their might l was placed about $50
yards in the rear Of the forti6caton, where could
see every thing going on on our side. There was a
portion of Wses Legion sent to the left flank to
watch the movements of the enemy in that direc-
ton. Soon saw six men coming from that direc
ton. When they came up to u.s. hailed them
They said they belonged to Wise's Legion. This
was about an hour before We abandoned the breast
works. These men went towards Nags Head, and
l suppose they reached the place in time to JON
Gen. Wise and his Legion on their rapid march to
the CaEal Bridge, which they reached, making
about four miles per hour, notwltnstandng the
pears to have been good medicine for the General,
ior when the picket guard reached the Canal bridge
he was able to curse them until he was almost blue.
Now did the pickets act cowardly? I answer, no..
The picket was taken from Co. |, 31st regiment of
Cape Fear boys, and sent to the lower end of the
Island, where they remained until the enemy had
landed and cut them entirely off from the main
army. They had to come up and surrender as
prisoners or take boat and 60 to Nag's Head
This they did, and made their way to the Canal
bridge, where Gen. Wise took their guns from
them, and cursed them for every thing mean.-
Now if these men are to be branded as towards for
leaving, where will Gen. Wise stand? heard
while in Raleigh that the guns intended for the
31st Regt, were in Raleigh, and had been for some
time. Isuppose this is not true-for was sent to

The presence of nitre in tobacco is we'll known
and is one principal reason of the plant proving so
exhausting to land. The ntre could unquestionably,
be extracted and used in the manufacture of gun
powder. In order to extract it, it would only be
necessary to chop or grind up the tobacco steep it
for some time in water, (using the same water for
several successive portions of tobacco,) and boil
down the strained land perhaps clari6ed) liquid in
an iron pot, until the ntre crystallizes cooling.
But fear that tobacco ia altogether too costly
material to be used for making ntre upon large
scale, the quantity yielded by the plant being rela
lively quite small. 80.
The plan adopted during the wars Of the first
Napoleon, to which you allude, is thoroughly prac-
tical, and earnestly hope that our Government or
private individuals will adopt it. if this war is to

To the Rescue, North-Carolinians!

Is there no man in North Carolina who can rouse
the large number of property holders in this State,
who as yet have not gone into the war, to the i'm
minent dangers which threaten them? Is there no
man among US, lot in the army, who could lead,to
victory "forlorn hope" No man capable Of be-
ing put at the head of the 10 1000 men in the
State, not yet in the field, but who able to fur
nish their own horses arms and equipments, and
who might be induced to get ready at once to make
a dash at Burnside so soon as he attempts to move
into the State? Where is the man? There are
several in the State who have the genius and the
sense and the courage to do it. Let them come for
ward to the rescue
In short period We fear, Burnside will attempt
to land from 40 to $4,000 men at some point in
this State to force his way into the interior to crush
us as they hope to do Tennessee Shall we sit still
and allow it? Never, never. The Confederate gov
ernment will do what it can to ward off the blow.
Our State militia will rally to the rescue, but We
fear the force which We bring into the field at
short notice is not enough Besides cavalry mount
ed men will be much needed. Now, how many
men in this State, in each County, who are good
riders. aole to furnish themselye with horses and
arms-say doublebarrel guns, rifles or SINCE shot
guns, or pistols and sabres, or pike also with
camp equipage-are willing to join the "Legion
of Honor to get ready at once, to organize in each
County, and to unite under some chosen, able lead
er, to dash at the enemy when he makes start
We need this volunteer force who will serve with
out pay for month or two at time, to assist the
regular forces and the militia to repel invasion at
any point There are no doubt 10 or 90 0O0such men
in the State These, with the regular force of the
government, would be sufficient to drive the enemy
from our soil at any time. Rally, friends Of the
State. Begin to stir the matter, and organize in
your several Counties at once. Let the press stir
this matter. 1t is vital, if not absolutely necessary
to prevent the overrunning of the State by the
Yankee hordes. -- - - -. ~ tf
