promptness with which originally small force at
kinston sweed by reinforcement after reinforcement
Is worthy of adwration and all prace while it is signal
rebuke 70 the nuIifers in this Conservatve and gar
rong Legislature, who have been so ready manifest
their dstrust of either the willingness the ability Of the
Confederate authorities to due protection this State
as to be willing to set the conscrp law at Defiance and
place North Carolina in conflict with the Confederate Gov:
ernment ,"
The people of North Carolina will endorse the
conduct of the present Legislature, j., refusing to
reelect those to Office who belonged to the Destrnc
tiOe party, and who, if allowed to remain, would
have constantly embarrassed Gov Vance's Admins
tration But this "garrotj0g" operation "sticks, in
the gizzard of the Register and the faction it sup
ports.
But the Register thinks that the Confederate ,au-
thorties are worthy of admiration and all praise
for the promptness with which our small force was
reinforced at Kinston. We are thankful for small
avors, but the alacrity of the authorities to defend
the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad at Goldsboro,
was, after all, too slow to prevent the breaking up
of the Road burning of the bridges for some miles
south Of Goldsboro', and the escape of the enemy.
Nor does it afford any evidence of the " willingness
of the Confederate authorities to give due protection
to this State"
One-third Of the wealth of the State nearly, lies
east of and upon that Road. Its citizens patri
otto and devoted to the cause hold enough corn
and bacon to feed the army and a good part of the
State, yet all their appeals for protection to Pres
dent Davis have been unavailing The real condi-
ton of affairs has been laid before him by the press
by, the people, by Coy. Vance, and by the Legsla:
ture and all the assurance they haUe had from him
tOas, that he oould defend the line Of the Whining
to Richmond and to the army in Virginia, and hence
must be defended; but our suffering felow-citizens
east of the Road, with their immense resources of
corn, bacon and cotton, must shift for themselves
and remove their produce, or the Confederate au-
thorities the Yankees will burn it up and destroy
it. That is the extent so far we understand it.
of the willingness and ability of the Confederate
authorities to give due protection to the State"

EVERY vote for Vance is a vote for Holden" said
the Destructive leaders before the election. Well,
Vance was elected by about $4,000 majority; and
if what these leaders said is true Holden is toera-
bly, strong in North Carolina. Yet these leaders
and their minions are still assailing Holden. We
admire their perseverance, whatever we may think
of their principles. But they are wasting their
ammunition. Holden can never be injured so

The News.

The stirring times of last week have been fol-
lowed by lull in the war news.
From the Yankee accounts it is evident that the
fight at Fredericksburg is the most damaging bat
tie of the war to the Yankees, Their loss is now
estimated at 10000 men. Their defeat seems to
have been unexpected, and is the more notifying
Nothing has transpired since to indicate definitely
what will be the next movement.
There is no longer any doubt of the return of the
enemy to Newbern Whether he will move again
soon or in what direction, is not conjectured.

Eight lat Kinston and White Hall.

The fight at Kinston of our small force under
Gen. Evans, against at least 5000 Yankees, shows
the ability of soldiers to cope with them at least
three or four to one. About 200 of our men kept
them In check for day. Our veteran troops, both
from this State and South Carolina fought WE'LL but
none fought better than the raw conscriPts in Col
Maletts battalion. If Gen. Evans had had under
his command 10, 900 men, the Yankees would have
been driven back to Newbern.
At Whitehall the enemy was badly damaged. -
The bridge having been burned, the river divided
tine antagonists. The Yankees were heavily posted
the south side of Neuse river On the north
side We had only three companies Of tie 59th, Par
tisan Rangers, commanded by Col D. d. Ferebee,
one company of the 3lst Regt it is reported, and
the 18th N c., commanded by Col keventhorpe
The 18th N. c. we understand, was handsomely
manoeuvred by Col. Leventhorpe. His losses were
very small, but those of the enemy severe.
We learn from friends that several persons have
beer addressing us recently through paper called

therefore, if those who address us want to hear

that one election only to u vacancy In any

bate In the Senate turned on proposition to
postpone the election first, until the 18th Of

IN by The House, then to postpone until to-
day at halt past twelve.
The House also non-concurred in this reso.
