North. Carolina in the late BATTLES.

North Carolina was one of the last States to leave
the old Union but she has been foremost in the ex
penditure of blood and treasure in this contest.
The prescribed old Union men have done more than
their full share in the war They have spilled their
blood and left their bones every battle field from
Great Bethel to the last fight near Richmond on the
1st-of July.
correspondent of a late Wilmington Journal
says:
North Carolina and Georgia furnished fully one
half the forces engaged in the series of battes-36
to 40 regiments cach-yet North Carolina and Geor-
gia have found no place in the Richmond papers,
Go around among the wounded at hospitals and
private reSidences-you will find five if not ten
North Carolinians to Eirginian. This has been
told me by physicians in attendance. Yet the Rich
mond papers pretend not to know it 1t is a crying
shamc-a piece ofunblushng rascality-Gov Clarke
ought to get list of killed and wounded from the
intelligence Office and let the record speak for the
State. The Yankees told the truth when they said
that North Carolnans put in the front of every
battle They are willing to take the front but they
do not like to be lied out of their merited glory.
do not mean to speak disparagingly of Virginia
troops They fought well but they did not do all
the fighting On the contrary North Carolina and
Georgia each furnished troops for the defense
of Richmond than Virginia did"
We learn from friend who knows, that some
Yankee prisoners, taken in the battle of Gaines
Mills, meeting some North Carolina soldiers near
Richmond, said, You North Carolinans are every
where We meet you in every fight. We believe
you would charge hell with Barlow Knives, if Bethel
Hill should give the word"
All honor to the dear old State and her gallant
sons

The Junior Editor of the Milton Chronicle who
has been drillmaster in the camp near this city,
says:
"Wm. Johnston was nominated by the People.
His abilities fine-his heart loyal-no stain sullies
his skirts, and he belongs to NO party"
Mr. Johnston received the nomination of a meet
ing held in his own county, called ostensibly for
another purpose, which he attended He was after
wards nominated in CASTOR County, where he has
an influential brother This is the extent of the ac
ton of the people in regard to Mr.. Johnston He
is properly the candidate Of the spoils party office
holders and the ultra partizan papers Of the State
On the contrary Col. Vance was first nominated by
the people of Rutherford county, since endorsed by
at least ten County meetings. The Standard rails
ed the name Of Col Vance after the people had
designated him as their first choice. No one ques-
tons the loyalty q personal integrity of Mr. John
ston, but as to his abilities fine" the people will
enter demurrer, unless our friend means that they
fine the people have not been able to discover
them after twenty five years acquaintance with him
as lawyer. But better than all, "he belongs to
no party" Those who know the facts are amused
at the claims of these partizan spoils party men.
Mr.. Johnston's votes in the Convention showed that
he aods party man. His utilization with, and warm
support Of the odousy partizan Military Board,
and OF original secessionsts to the utter ignoring
OF the old Union men, is proof positive.

RICHMOND, Va, July 8, 1862.
W. w. HOLDEN, ESQ., arrived in this city last
Saturday, to look after our sick and wounded n. c.
soldiers, particularly the 18th Reg't. n C. State
Troops, in which | have many personal friends
and relatives. The companies from Franklin coun-
ty are in this regiment. | enclose you a statement
of casualties prepared by Capt. A. G. Massenburg,
Commissary. which is toleraby correct Please
copy in the Standards l also enclose you Hospi-
tai Directory, which you can copy or not as space
will allow. In these late battles, North Carolina
has covered herself with glory. Her praise is on
every ones tongue, but alas! alas! her sick and
particularly wounded can be found in almost every
hospital and many private houses She has suffered
severely in killed and wounded, and death from am
putation, &C. The gallant Col. Sidney Stokes, LIST
Regiment \. G. State Troops, died this morning
Ills right leg was mputated-mortifcatio ensued,
and death closed his career this day. The Ladies,
the Ladies' Of Richmond and vicnty-oh, what a
debt Of gratitude we owe them, for their untring
visitationS, &C., to our sick and wounded They
come with breakfast, dinner and supper, with deli
cacieS, &c They wait upon and nurse from early
morning till night May God richly reward them.
The general crowd in the city is immense this week.
Gen. Mcclellan is some IS or 20 miles from the
city, with his gunboats in the rear, in James river,
receiving achievements, our army in front He is
not conquered or surrounded but entrenchng again,
and many say will have other and bloody battles
this or next week. The weather is very warm,
which is greatly against our sick and wounded.
Do not believe sensation dispatches No one
thinks for a moment that Richmond will be taken or
the South finally subdued, but that we have other
and many hard battles to fight am we'll convinced.
Excuse the length OF this, and as may remain here
you possibly will receive another communication.

MIR. Johnston at the GoIdsboro' Convention.

An intelligent and highly respectable citizen of
Wayne County assures us that Mr. Johnston, the
spoils' party candidate for Governor, attended the
Goldsbo-o' Convention in March, 1861. That Con-
vcntion organized what was termed the Southern
Rights party" The object of that party was to
force North Carolina out of the Union whether Lin
coin gave sufficient cause for it not and whether
the people willed it or not The history of that
Convention and the designs of the socalled South
ern rights party will be written some of these days
We are assured tina; Mr.. Johnston declared in
that Convention that if secession brought on a war,
he would volunteer to tight. Has he done it? Has
he redeemed his pledge? Certainly not He has
been sitting in the shade while Col. Vance has been
fighting in the front of the battle.
Here is fair specimen Of these no party spoils'
party gentlemen. 1t is claimed that Mr.. Johnston
is a party man and yet he was a member Of that
odious Godsboro' Convention, and member of the
so-called Southern rights party"

SUPPLIES FOR THE SICK AND WoUNDED.VWe are
requested by Dr. E. Burke Haywood to state that
supplies of articles for the sick and wounded in
Richmond, would be very acceptable. Articles that
are not perishabe, such as hams, butter, cOrdals
and the like preferred, if delayed the road
they will not be injured. This is call which we
feel will be generally responded to. The citi-
zens of Richmond and especially the ladies, arc
most liberal and unwearied in their attentions to
our sick and wounded; but we should remember
that such supplies and comforts as are needed are
becoming very scarce in that part of Virginia, and
that we owe it to them, to ourselves to the suffer-
ing soldiers, and to the cause to give of our album
dance for the benefit of the sick and wounded
Boxes or packages of articles should be addressed
to North Carolina Depot of supplies Care of Clai-
borne Watkins, Main Street. Richmond, Va.

WATER FOR THE WOUNDED The sick and wound
cd soldiers who travel on our Railroads would be
very grateful to the superintendent of our Rail-
roads, if they would furnish an abundant supply of
good cold water for them the cars. Wounded
men are generally thirsty, and whether on or of
the cars, it is almost impossible for them to obtain
water at all times when they want it. We have
made this suggestion at the request of friend and
we trust the authorities of the different Roads will
make such provision in this respect will meet the
wants of our sick and wounded soldiers.

SAVAGE CoNDUcT.-We understand on good au-
thority, that the Yankee commanders in falling
back before our victorious troops below Richmond,
destroyed not merely their ordinary supplies, but
all the chloroform which they had on hand, and
which is so necessary in mitigating pain in surgical
operations They did this, too, with full knowl-
edge that many Of their own wounded were in the
hands of our Surgeons and thus deprived their own
soldiers of the benefit Of this almost indispensable ar
tice in surgery One of the Yankee surgeons, it is
understood protested against this conduct as savage
and unchrist:an, but his protest was disregardcd.

and their minionS manufacturing and circulating
against Col Vance. The air will be thick with
them between this and the election. We learn that
the latest one, started by of the undcrsrappers
of the government here is, that Col Vance is a
Northern man by birth. Col Vance is native Of
Buncombe County, in this State. Look out for

Col. David Mcneil, of Cumberland.

This gentleman is candidate for the Senate from
the Counties of Cumberland and Harnett So far
as we know he has no opposition and it is possible
that up to this period no one has any purpose of
opposing him, but if. what we have just heard from
gentleman concerning the course of Col. Mcneil,
be true he should have opposition and be defeated.
Col Men. belongs to that very amiabe class of no.
party, spells party politicians who denounce the
old Union men as traitors and in the State Conyen-
ton was an ultra partizan, voting constantly with
the destructives and advocating the most proscrp-
tive policy, and the most stringent test-oath and
sedition ordinances.
These matters we should not, however, have al
luded to- but for the information just given us as
above limited. We learn that the Colonel has, at
this early day, without opposition at home, gone to
Richmond to visit the North Carolina soldiers in the
army, for the purpose of eleconeering for himself
and Mr.. Johnston, and against COL Vance If the
charge be untrue, we will readily correct it, but if
it be true, We hope the good people of Cumberland
and Harnett will teach this amable noparty parti-
IAN lesson. Let some good and true man, less
partzan than COL Mcneil, be at once brought out
against him. If our friend Hale will pardon us, we
would suggest that we know no man who, from long
public service devotion the public and private in
terests of North Carolina and ardent and valuable
services in promoting the war, is justly entitled
to the honor Of seat in the next Senate of North
Carolina, as Edrard j. Hale, ST., of Cumberland.
We know that his habits and tastes are averse to
such position, but the State needs his services in
the Senate, and the man would honor the seat.
