MATTERS ABOUT NEWBERN

MIR. EDITOR Permit me to give the refupees
from Newborn the latest news from home. | have
just seen an inhabitant of that ancient borough
who had ran the Burnside lines, and from him
have been posted up. All the trees above the
town, for two miles or more, (nearly up to Harri
sons plantatlon) have been cut down, and the
miasma that will arise from the mud that is
thereby exposed, and from the decaying vcceta-
ton generally, will fight a battle in AUGUST.
September, and October, the most deadly of the
war. When General Climate puts on his uniform
he will certainly be found to be an antagonist,
indeed Already the army are getting very
sickly, and an average of fifteen corpscs are
deposited in the Cedar Grove Cemetary daily.
When the war Is over, many Of the good inhabi-
tants OF old Athens, will have lots of brawny
Irishmen, low Dutch, and sneaking, penny-huut-
ing Yankees, to disnter from their private burial
lots. All the vaults, except Judge Gaston's, have
been entered, and the silver plates, and other
valuables from the collins, stolen A good many
bodies, that were in metallic cases, have been
emptled out, and the cases taken to send dead
officers home. Judge GastOns vault has thus far
escaped, from the fact that it is entirely undcr
ground, and therefore unseen. The coffin of =
lady who had lately been deposited in one of the
vaults, was opened and one of the fingers of the
corpse was cut off to get ring from it; this was
probably done by some low, common soldier but
have been known at headquarters History will
be searched in vain for parallel case. The
rumOr that an entrcnchment had been made from
the Neuse to the Trent, is untrue, but an extern
sive battery, armed with heavy guns, has been
built near Mr. Jenkins vineyard The railroad
bridge across the Trent was being rebuilt The
oppression to the citizens who remained, was
almost unbearablc-a great many of them had
from time to time, been imprisoned, and it was
dangerous for two to lie seen in the street in close
private talk. Many leading men from the coun
try around, had been brought into town tied and
some hand-cuffed. Mr. Frederick T. Latham
than whom better man never ived) was in Jail,
and the Daily Progress says he was arrested be-
cause arms were found concealed in his house, and
remarks that he was fit subject for hemren
neck-tie. The arms found were left at MIR.

uated the battery on the north side of the Ncuse.

So1ION CEED.-1n nc aSnlngtOn correspond
ent of the n. York Herald writes on the 1st ult.
Fifteen hundred bushels of cotton seed from
Newbern, N. c., arrived yesterday, consigned to
the Agricultural Bureau of the Patent Office
More than hundred women have been employed
by Mr. Newton to pack the seed for distribution
with all possible dispatch, in order that the ex-
pertinent of its culture in the grain growing
region may be tairl made. The North Carolina
seed has been selected as best fitted for the soil
and climate of the border and Western States.
The Secretary Of the Interior sent a communi-
cation to the House to-day; in reference to the
disposal of tho appropriation of three thousand
dollars for cotton seed. Walter Collins, of Vir-
ginia, has purchased fourteen hundred bushels
for four hundred dollars, in General Burnside s
department, which arrived here on the 18th.
d. e. Donohue was sent to Tennessee with $1,000,
and purchased 800 bushels, which has been dis
trlbuted in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio through
State agricultural societies. Five hundred dol
lars more have been forwarded to enable him to
supply Iowa and Kansas Nineteen hundred have
been paid for seed, and the remainder is needed
for transportation, &c.

TERRIFIC HAIL SToRM.-The Wadesboro
Argus publishes the following:
Mr.. FENToN-Dear Sir: The town of Monroe
Onion county, was visited yesterday evening,
(Thursday the 22d ult.,) little after dark, by a
terrific storm Of hail, wind and rain. 1t came
from northwest direction, and continued some
ten or fifteen minutes. Great damage was done to
our gardens, beans, cabbage, peas onions, pota-
toes, Nc, cut to pieces torn into ribbons and beat
into the ground Our fruit trees, which only a
day ago, promised bountiful crop to ungratcful
man, are now almost entirely deprived of their
abundant treasure. fear the wheat and oat crop
is seriously damaged in the country over which
the storm passed. The hail was about the size of
common marbles. Msch window glass was
broken, grown chickens were beaten off their
roost, and young chickens and turkics that were
exposed, killed. Truly yours,

BE- The kaleigh Standard has taken a great
iancy to Col. 4. b. Vance of late. The reason
Is obvious, Colonel NaCee is POPULAR and the
Standard desires to touch the hem of his garment
The STANDARD desires to know why Col. Vance
has not been made General of a Brigade, &c,
Vance.
Would The Standard have Col. VaLce break
faith with the thousands of men who within \ few
weeks have volunteered in his Legion. and have
them turned over to one not of their choice, or
disband and damage the public service, no one
knows how much? 1t was the opinion of the
genuine friends of Col. Vance, that his services
would be made more valuable at the head of his
Legion, than in any other position, in serving his
country, and he has promptly organized his corps
and put himself at the head of it ready to march
where duty calls him.
When Col. Vance shall desire promotion he
will no doubt get it--from the President, or from
his constituents. Ne who have all the time stood
by Col Vance will stand by him hereafter, bit
we shall be very cautious who else we admit into
the sheep-fold. StatesrWe E,prcss

They also have possession Of Charlestown, eaptur
| ing at that point many of Banks fugitiyes ant
comnlisary stores.
The result thus far ofthis brilliant achievement
Of Jackson, has been the utter humiliation of al
army of 10000 or $4,000 men, the capture of al
amount of provisions, ordnance stores, small arms
horses, Wagons, aud camp equipage, almost in
credible and last though not least the possession
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the mali
artery which connects the Yankee capital with thu
West. Truly may Jackson say in his dispatches
that GOOD has blessed our arms with brillian
success"
FROM JACKsoN.-It was currently reported in
town yesterday that jackson had crossed the
Potomac and was now in Williamsport Maryland
Although We could not learn that official dispatch
es had been received to that effect still the
information was very generally believed and VIC
deem it more probable than otherwise. Williams.
port is on the river above Harper's Ferry, six miles
from Hagerstown and on the Fredcricktown turn
pike. This rapid advance Of Jackson has caused
great CONSERVATION in Washington and is said to
have made the diversion in McClellan's plans
spoken of elsewhere. We hope to be able to
chronicle Jackson's entrance into Frederick town,
in which place he will meet with powerful addi-
tions to his army.
We are told that seventy thousand Marylanders
stand ready at moments warning to join the
standard Of the old hero. Many of these men
have arms hidden, and those who have none are
ready to fight with scythes, sticks Or brckbats
1t must be happy thought that deiverance is SO
nigh. The fact that jackson is the first man to
lead an army into Maryland will stamp him the
hero of the war, and will win for him the lasting
gratitude of people who have long suffered from
tyrannous rule.-RichneOnd Dispatch, 30M.

What used to be 'the Hon. Edward Stanly,''

The above is certified to us by gentleman who
arrived in this city, yesterday morning the Goth.
1t needs no COMMENT as its very announcement
will stamp him a traitor through all future time
" hat contrast he presents to his patriotic
brother at Washington, Of whom such honorable
mention was made in last issue. That broth

press will be careful not to stigmatize the name
OF Stanly, because Of the infamy of this bad man.
We learn that number Of paroled prisoners
came to Newborn in the same ship with Stanly;
and it is greatly to be feared he may have attempt
ed to poison the minds Of some of them by his
lnsidious representations. We hope, if he has
made dishonorable propositions or misrepresenta-
