ITO TIiE DITDT


Numerous friends of Col ZEB B. VANCE take the
liberty of presenting him to the people of North
Carolina as an emnently suitable candidate for the
office of Governor at the next regular election in
August
1t is confidently hoped that he will not forbid the
liberty thus TAKEN and that he will yield his consent
thereto.
1t is hardly necessary to add here, that COL
Vance, though comparatively young has distln'
guished himself in the Legislative Councils of this
State and the late United States. Immediately on
the receipt of Lincolns proclamation calling ior
troops to subjuga:e the South, he joined company
of Infantry and has continued in service ever SINCE
has been regularly promoted from private, by bis
fellow soldiers to his present high position IN thS
army, and more recently at the late battle Of New
bern, be fully sustained the proud reputation OF DIS
ancestors for vajor and heroism and won for hlmse
in that bloody conflict an ,impershabe fame Col
Vance is emphatically the man for the emergency
now upon US. He is young and full of energy,
prudent, well-informed, bold and fearless. May ne
consent to this suggestion and be elected
MANY CITIZENS.

In accordance with our determination, heretofore

LATER FROM BOwLfNo GREEN.-The

pondent, of the 3lst ult., contains the fol-
lowing
On yesterday another brave and we'll
disciplined aud equipped regiment arrived
here. To day two additiona; regiments Of
Gen. Bowen's commaiRd arrived. They
are the 9th Arkansas Regiment, 600
strong, commanded by Col. Bradley, aud
the 10th Arkansas, 800 strong, of the
same division, commanded BY Col. Mer-
rick They are in excellent condition,
we'll drilled and provided Cor and anxious
to meet the enemy. They are from Camp
Beauregard, near Felicianna. Graves
county, Kentucky. Their places at Camp
Beauregard were supplied by fresh troops
from Mississippi. Other reinforcements
iu large numbers, and several additions
batteries are on the way to this place and
will soon arrive.
Increased by the large reinforcements,
noted as daily pouring into this place, our
army has attained to an immense mngni
tude 1t is one Of the largest divisions in
The Confederate service. They are not
drawn together at a point like this
to throw up Notifications, and retire with
nut fight. If the enemy does not come
70 meet US, we will go to meet them, aud
wherever and whenever the meeting
takes place the victory is ours. All OBJ
se,yalions tend to increase my belief thai
a grea, brttie will be fought in very
short time il may be in a few days, and
may not be for sorye weeks. The vast
,ruy here must be active and must be sus.
iained. The enemy must be beaten. The

are increasing the number Of their scout

were again b,pming near Green River

WAR BONDS AND COUPONs.-We see
> it intimated the last True Democrat,
that the Treas urer of the State will refuse
to redeem deta ched cupons Of war bonds,
suutil the bonds themselves are re turned
to. the Treasury, and satisfactory euidepcr
adduced that the said coupons were not
detached and the bond used in paymer {
to the State before the coupon was due.
.W.we fully applaud the dispositi N
Of the Treasurer to protect the interests
of the State against petty swiudling. We,
At the same time suggest that this may
be bad policy, aud. balancing incouveni-
ences, productive Of more harm, than.
would result from contrrry course.
No sheriff, land agent or collector can
in she proper discharge of his duty, re-
ceive- war bond from which an undue
coupon las been detached. His accounts
will show when it was received His Sc
eurities are always good, aud there would
be no hardship or impropriety iu holding g
him liable to the proper extent for receiv-
ing bond with au undue coupon mis-
sing. His protection would be to deduct
the ammount of the missing coupon The
Inconvenience to him would be slight.
On the other hand the decision of the
Treasurer tends. 10 great measure, to
lesson the facility of circulation which it
has been the policy of the State to create
for these bonds to the utmost extent. No
one takes these bonds as a permanent iu-
vestment. They are received and paid GU
like bauk bills as currency. Our legisla-
ture has been careful to facilitate that use
of them in maDy ways. 1t is impossible
for any one in his ordinary transactions to
send down his bonds as received, and have
the due coupons detached from the bond,
snd the main bond returned. They could
not be taken at par subject to that tax OF
time and risk. On the other hand it is
unjust to compel the holder of bond
with due coupons, to pass the bond at lis
dsnominational value, and to estimate
the value of due and unpaid coupons in
all transactions between the people, would
be productive of such inconvenience as
to destroy their value as currency. 49, =
Onsthe whole, we are. satisfied. that il
would be betteresopay all detached ccui
pons when due, and the Treasurer satisfied
OF their authenticity, resorting to the col
lectors aud agents Of the State for any
loss which may accrue.
Ia other States the absence, Of change
has induced them, for the benefs of TIE
INDECENT who do not handle large amounts
to authorize the issuance by the banks CT
small change notes of less denomination
than dollar. 1t strikes us that these
coupons might serve us that same purpose
if they could be detached. :.
