7IHE WHEAT AND Corn" The wheat has evidently
improved and looks now as if it might make fair CROP
said one to u.s. who had at time given up the whole
crop So far as have seen, the rust or mildew has
yet attacked the stalks and hence look for good
yield We advise the to fix up their threshing
machines as they will have work to do.
The corn looks we'll and men have in large crops
Without disaster will have corn enough to do u.s.
and with those hateripg prospects before u.s. would
urge those who have old corn on hand now to lower
their figures and let the people have it. There

BAToNET CHAReEs.--We read good many times in
the accounts especially in the accounts of the
ca III OF Saturday and Sunday, Richmond, about
their having made OayOnet charges and almost annih
lated certain Confederate troops with the bayone and
so on. "A good many of the wounded have passed
through here on their way home while some from this
Sectcn have remained here and we have vet 70 see or
lear OF one single individual who has even scratcb
inflicted oy bayonet although we have seen men from
the very corps said to have beea SO charged. From
this We ara led to the conclusion that those Yankoo
bayOnet charges are either wholly mythical or if real
mere very harmless realities indeed

THE ATTEMPT TO DEPRECIATE CONFEDERATE MONEY
AND Successive repeat the declaration which made
in our last paper that hing be reasonable
than attempt to depreciae the credit of the Confed
crate Government fer unless this credit is sustained
will surely become the subjects of Yankee domination,
and with liberties lose all property. 1t is, then,
very much than idle for holders of Confederate
money or securities to part with them for less than their
face for the purpose of investing in State stocks any
other description of property. With the loss of the
Southern cause land it will be lost unless the credit of
the Government is sustained State stocks will become
worthless, and every other description of property share
the same fate n. q. State stocks are as good as any
in the Conf daracy, but with the Confederacy subuga
ted, what would they he worth? Not cent. And
what would bank stocks and bank notes be worth p
Not button. 1t is manfestly, theD the interest Of
every man in the South to uphold the credit of the
Government, aud to frown upon every attempt to de-
preciae it.
In this connection we may mention that we have
heard OF recent transaction in this city in which the
Individual entitled to of money refused to take
anything but notes of the Bank OF North Carolina =
If such example this is followed generally, the
worst of consequences must ensue for repeat that if
Confederate notes and securities not good there will
soon he no good notes or s. clrities in the South
Raleigh Register.
The Register will confer favOr upon the true South
men of the State by giving the name of the indi-
vidual who refused to take anything but notes of the
Bank OF North Carolina 10 payment of debt. The
au naile ehouiu pe hHoWD anu no hdtLer WDo he 49,
or what bis professions he should be considered
secret enemy TO the cause Of the South. No who
deprecates Confederate money is reliable friend to the
South. If Confederate money is dscrtdted, the wives
and children of soldiers will starve, and much dis
tress lie produced throughout the South. When the
soldiers return home they should be informed of the
who pursued course calculated to injure them and
their families. Such people may escape punishment
now, but day of judgment will surely come
The Public Treasurer of North Carolina has author
lied the Shers and Tax Collectors take Confederate
notes 10 payment of taXes-Chdr{oHe Democrat.

STANIY HARD PUSHED, AND TRYING THE BRIDE
GAME.-We have certain information, by way of the
underground railroad, that Governor" Edward Stan
~ is getting quite sick Of bis mission to North Carroll
ma, in the character Of Abe Lncolns agent, emissary
and representative He has been holding out the strong
est brides to seduce true Southern to take the oath
OF allegiance to Lincoln, but without effect among
Others he sent for an aged gentleman, warm friend OF
Mr.. Stanly'g before he went to California, who had
been pundered and impoverished By the Burnside re-
spectors Of private property" and promised him the
restitution of his negroes and pay for all bis losses in
gold provided lie 1gouH take THE This the aged
patriot refused to do, replying, with pardonabe
warmth that be would see him and the whole Yankee
nation -- first. They had stolen most of what he
had, and they might take the balance, if they could get
it, but they could not bride buy him." 1t is said,
aIso that Mr SanIy has written letter to Hon. Geo.
e. Badger soliciting bis aid in bringing the State back
into the old Federal Union and that MIR. Badger has
replied to the request in very able letter. in which be
positively refuses to operate 10 any such movement
We have little or no doubt of the truth Of these
staemn u.s. and that the letters will be given to the
public at an early day. Mr.. Stany finds that he has
undertaken a huiteas mission, and that bis warmest
pronA and political friends arc now as bitterly OPP
posed his present course, and denounce his position
as firmly aud strongly any of bs former opponents.

This noble fighting regiment is greatly reduced in
numbers having suffered more, perhaps than any other
corps in the service yet its spirit is unbroken and Its
patriotism undimmed. We know all its field officers
well and some of its staff officers, and we only say what
we do know, when We add that Drawer set of men are
not In the service We almost fear they are too brave.
We regret to learn that COL NcRaes health is quite
feeble yet spite of it, he was on the field during the late
hard fighting near Richmond. The Lieut.. COL, John
G. Badham, we fear is no more, having fallen like a
brave man at tho battle of Williamsburg. For the
time being, the remnant of the regiment is under the
