State Politics.

We notice that many Of our North Carolina cotem-
poraries engaged in the discussion OF the question
who shall be next Governor together with sundry other
matters to which have of late devoted little at
tention other matters having appeared to to be far
more pressing ct least for the present.
We trust however, that no will suspect us Of un-
derratng the Importance OF our State affairs Of hav
ing lost interest in them of being without opin
ions upo1 the gubernaoa aud other Quesens although
we can hardly say that this interest or these opinions
under the head of what is generally known as po-
itical if by that is meant merely parzan. That We
enough of old parzlu bitterness aud feel that more
exists than appears on the surface is not to be denied
but endeavor to keep ousev as far possible out
of the vortex. " bile we see and talk with men Of all
shades of former political opinions, we tax little poll
tics and see few politicians We think our opportuni
ties for obtaining information not lessened by this
while our vision remains uncleuded and unwaFped as
far as such thing can well be.
When We can get leisure time, We will Sc re the
opportunity to express ourselves calmly and deliberate
on these and other matters not that vain enough
to attach any great Importance to expression while
at the time we think it may have influence
and We believe it to be the duty of all TO contribute
their mite OF Information or suggestion TO tie
fund, for the good and not FOR the furtherance
Of any selfish or factious interests.
We are sorry to see some Of humble expressions
of opinion seized upon and banded from hand to hand
rather from paper to paper, serving in some respect
instead of other controversial AMMUNITION with which
to carry on the political eannonade. We WILL at on,
earliest convenience take the liberty of having few
quiet words to say in our own behalf.

For the first time in this war, the enemy has attempt
ed az attack upon stone FORT having this morning
opened fred upon Pulaski, with what effect remains to
be seen. We apprehend that more depends upon the
state OF the garrison, than upon the strength OF tie
work If there is plenty of ammunition aud provisions
and if water can he got, Pulaski be held long
time. If not, it cannot. 1t can hardly tie taken by
force, but it may be compelled to yield to thirst un
ger.
Pulaski still keeps the enemy's vtsEes cut of the
river, and al hough tie lighter draft beats may yet
force their way into the Savannah from Wallis Cut and
Wilmington Creek, still, as long as we hold Pulaski,
their larger vessels must remain shut out and they will
hardly venture to advance against Fort jackson and
the other batteries with the ra craft that they can get
in by any side cut. An attack upon Savannah by the
river will hardly be made before the fall of Pulaski and
that depends upon its provisions water and military
stores, but especially provisions and water We trust
they have big csterns and have got plentiful supply oil

We think it right to state some facts which have
come to our knowledge in reference to the asking Of fifty
dollars each for live cak trees for ship timber for the
Confederate gun-boats the building of which at this
point has been talked of.
In the first place it is proper to state that the gen
teman who the trees, has already shown bis pa
trosm by reliDqushng the of large planting in
terest and going himself into the service where be is
now and was at tie time when the matter referred to
occurred and of which matter he knew nothing at tie
time In the second place, the gentleman who asked
tie fifty dollars simply acting for another and had
personal pecuniary interest in the transaction The
trees were very large end valuable the growth of cen
turtles, and the owner was known to be very reltant
to have them touched at any price He was known to
have taken great interest in the construction of gun
boat for the protection of the Cape Fear, and would
rather have given them for that than have sold them
any price for any other purpose. These considerations
induced the gentleman acting for the owner to ask Of
the contractors not the government the full Ualue Of the
timber in the trees so that if the owSe- did not retain
the timber for the purposes OF North Carolina Boat
he night at least be able to give literally in other
way. We no judges of timber, but the gentleman
who asked the fifty dollars is of opinion that the trees
intrinsicay worth that and would turn out
more to the contractors. OF this as already said,
know nothing, and simply make tie statement as mat
ter of justice and only withhold names from an indspo
stion part to drag the Of private parties
into the papers, not from any desre for conceament
