A STRONG APPEAL.

The arguments and appeals for the Intervention
and recognition in England are stronger than we
could suppose, from The revelations and utterances
of opinion permitted to reach US through the
selections of the Northern press. We simply
mention the fact, and do not wish to express an
opinion We believe if we had shown less desire
for recognition and more active 'exertions in and
for ourselves, recognition would have been ere
this accorded.
The London Standard, of the 22d October,
devotes a leader of nearly two columns to this
topic. We quote the following:
.sEyerv circumstance that ever justified inter-
vention iustlhes it in the case of America No
war was ever such nuisance to the neutral world
No attempt to subjugate reluctant people was
ever less excusable or more helpless The South
is ineomparably more worthy of aid than we're the
Greeks .or the Begians; the Federal Government
is infinitely less respectable than Holland and its
present mode of vaging war more barbarous than
that of Sultan Mahommed. .a
If ever joint intervention was required it is
in this case, and in preventing or holding aloof
from it, England Eeglects her duty and her honor.
We should have right to interfere alone in aid
of a good cause and kindred people--in vindica-
tion of humanity and of national freedom-and
it would clearly be our interest to doso, for peace
costs US more than war would cost. But we have
scarcely the right to withhold others from doing
the duty from which we shrink; and If We allow
them to do it without US we shall risk our place
among the great powers, as surely as Prussia and
Austria did BY their pusilanimous behavior in
1854.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1862-11-25
EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA.

A correspondent of the Fayetteville Observer
speaks as follows of the depredations committed
BY the enemy in the late raid at and in she neigh
bOrhoOd Of Hamilton, Martin county, N c.;
Isr 'There we're dead hogs, geese and chickens in
abundance strewn through the Yankee camps and
ia the neighborhood Of them--generally with the
choice parts pulled of and the rest thrown away,
as though world offeatabes were at the disposal
of the vandals. The valuable papers Of citizens,
living from here to Washington, or further wero
scattered in the roads and over the fields and
woods generally either torn or so defaced as to be
worthless Negroes and horses were taken wherev-
er found, and the carriages, wagons and other We.
hicles which they did not carry off were smashed
or burnod-the broken or charred pieces could be
seen in many places. In fact everything that
could be used was appropriated and much of tho
remainder destroyed. Probably twenty Of the
eighty houses which suppose Hamilton contain
ed have been burned, generally nice ones, ] am
told. Hundreds-thousands reckon-of acres
of corn have been denuded Of their yield or de-
prived of fences, which is nearly as bad The
population now remaining appears to be patriotic
and well disposed. But the enemy seem too have
better information of our movements than we have
of theirs. The last information we have is that
the enemy has abandoned this immediate section
OF country, having retreated rather precipitatsly
to Washington and Newborn. They seem to
have heard, short time after mis- arrival, of the
presence of Gov. Vance. The country people say
that they heard that the Governor had come down
with 10000 mea; whereupon, being seized with
much fear, they left in haste. 1t is thought that
the expedition of the enemy was intended simply
as raid, for plundcriag, burning, capturing ne
groes and possibly they looked TO- the destruction
of Tarboro" rae
