The people are falling out with the Register, and
are going to send for the Standard Your paper is
much prosecuted by certain set but it is always
the ripest fruit that the birds seek first intend
to do all c. n for the Standard
We are much obliged to our friend for his good
wishes. The circulation of the Standard was never
so large it is at present We venture to say that
we have as many subscribers as both the political
papers published in this City. We state this only
to show that the people are with US.
A friend writing to us from Alamance County,
under date June Sd, says:
"Tme anG paper are scarce but cannot furbear
returning you the thanks of about nine tenths of
the people of Alamance, for the conservative and
patriotic you have pursued during the pres
ent troublesome and dangerous times. Every man
with whom | have conversed for the last two or
three months, cnncurs in saying that there must be
change in the management of State affairs or ruin
will inevitably be the result So far l have met
with but one William Johnston man in my inter-
course with the people, which has been pretty ex-

recommending Col. Vance for Governor. His name

from their conduct that they fear him more than
any other man."
A private in Col. Tance's regiment writes us as
follows from Kinston:
81 private in the 26th regiment, think it my
duty to contradict through the Raleigh Standard,
the statement in the Charlotte Democrat that Col.
Vance was not in the fight at Newborn. To that
statement 1 give the lie. Col. Vance 'oas in the
fight at Newbern."
This statement originated in this City, from the
same which started the report at Camp Man.

State back into the old Union. A secret organiza-

used against the conservatives The Editor Of the

stories is still better as echo and repeater He

MAJ. SMoNToN.-0f those who fell in the late
battle near Richmond, none was more worthy or
gallant than Maj. Absalom K. Simonton, of this
State. Maj. Simonton was formerly Captain in
the 4th regiment State troops, but had been pro-
noted to Major in the same regiment He was
member of the last Legislature from Iredel county,
where in common with his numerous friends in
other parts of the State, his death will be deeply
hmented.

GEN. PErrIGREW.-By a telegraphic dispatch to

that Gen. Pettigrew is not dead, but prisoner of

and gallant officer will be greatly gratified to learn
that he not slain in battle, as it was at one time
feared he was. We think it probable, however,
from what we have heard that he is severely
wounded

Ten. Lee, the Commanding General of all the
Confederate forces, has issued an address to the
troops near Richmond, that there will be no more
fetreatlng. We second the motion. We have said
from the beginning that If we would end the war
speedily and successfully, our forces must fight
vigorously. Victory and nothing short of it should
De our aim in every battle.

To Gen. Gatlin:
We the undersigned respectfully ask you to
send us to Wilmington, first because we prefer to
go where there is more danger and at stake to
the whole State, and secondly, because prefer to
be under Gen. Anderson, who we are all satisfied is
man of great military knowledge and in whom
we all have the most implicit confidence, while we
at the same time have nothing to say to General
Branch, because he has made no military character
in the State and of consequence no military pres
tige that would tend to inspire men with cour-
age as well as confidence.

KEEP CooI--We learn that leading ultra Sc
cessionist said, in this City, on Saturday last the
day on which the conservative meeting was held,
that if Gov Stanly should reach Raleigh he would
welcomedoy considerable portion Of our people;
and that another leading ultra secessionist said that
the conservative meeting referred to ought to hate
been broken up by the military power. We advise
these persons and their minions to keep cool. The
people of Raleigh are just as much opposed to Gov.
Stanly as the people of any other portion of the
State; and the conservatives of Wake will meet
just as often as they please without regard to the
threats Of would-be tyrants. The people of Wake
are not to be intimidated by such remarks and
threats if they do proceed from persons who
once enjoyed their confidence. Keep cool, gen.
tlemen. If your temper is unmanageable, go
and reduce it to a moderate heat by lighting the
Yankees The field is open to you-go. You said
you were going, but you are still here abusing and
maligning your own neighbors because they are
exercising the right of thinking and speaking for
themselves. The Yankees are not the only tyrants
and hypocrltes on the American continent
