with the Confederate army, or acknowledging allie

the Standard are pretty "particuar bed-fellows."
But we are sorry find friend of the Waterman
working in copartnership with the Raleigh hctonists
Don't he remember how favorably nearly all the papers
of the State spoke of Mr. Johnstons fitness for the Of
flee of Governor when his name was first mentioned
Don't he remember how the Standard resisted 1t and
urged opposition and favored contest and a canvass
of the State? And is it we'll known that the STAN
dard maneuyred about until it got Mr. Vance out as
candidate? These tn ings all too well known tor
any to deny. There was cause for the Standards
opposition Mr. Johnston-that paper knew if he
elected it would get stall in the public crib again
But we can see no why the Waterman and other
oldline wing papers should oppose him and go for the
Standards candidate We suspect that they didn't
like it because we and others who democrats ap
peared to be satisfied with Mr. Johnston. We proposed
Mr. Johnston in good faith compromise of party

unite the people of the State for once at least. But
the Standard would not agree to t-that paper ad-
vised against compromise, designated Mr. Johnston's
friends destructiyes" ard called upon its friends
to them down. The Waterman knows all this to
be true, yet it and other former wing papers fol-
lowing the Standard. We must again remind our
ncighbor that it cannot repudate the Standard unless
it repudiates its candidate, Mr. Vance We think the

THE SEVENTH N. G. TRoops.-We learned
from the Adjutant of this gallant regiment, whilst
lately on the battle field, that it left North Caro-
lima with 10l0 men. It took into the battle of
Thursday $40 rank and file, and at roll call on the
Wednesday following it could number but 100
Sixteen of it's officers were killed or wounded in
Guiding the brave Campbell and the no-less brave
Haywood. We counted in its battle flag after its
fight on Friday, taoenty-sir bullet holes, and its
flag staff was shivered into three pieces. Company
D, Capt. VIM. Lee Davidson, was the color com
pany. Three of the company were shot down
with the flag. 1t was then seized by Col Camp
bell. He fell with it in his hands. Lieut. Hay
wood Immediately snatched it, but was instantly
shot down himself. A Corporal of another com
pany, whose name we have forgotten, jumped
forward and seized the flag once more, and by
him was the shattered and torn battle flag borne
safely through. The remnant of the gallant
Seventh have pledged themselves before Heaven
that the last man of them will sacrifice his life or
bring that flag back to North Carolina.
PRoNoTED.-Lieut Col Ed Graham Haywood,
of the 18th N. G. Troops, has been elected to the
Colonelcy Of that gallant regiment, to Fill the
vacancy occasoned by the death of the brave,
lamented Col. Campbell y well-merited reward

RE- DR.. Lamoine, Frenchman who went from
New Orleans Richmond to the French Minister
when he in that city, writes communications for
the newspapers occasionally, and although he appears
be queer sort of man he says very sensible
things sometimes. We find communication of the
Doctors in the Chester (S c. Standard, in which he
says:
Under present situation the safest policy for
s.the point of the bayonet. Let the last till the
end of the world. Foreign Intervention from Russia
England will be pestlence for the Confederacy. The
only valuable foreign intervention that accept
honorably, is the intervention of friend Napoleon

than the Black Republican party, represented by
Abe Lincoln"

EXCHANGE OF PRIsONERs-It will be seen from the
following announcement that regular exchange OF
prisoners between the Confederate and Lincoln gov
ernments will take place The Lincolnites have
had to come down q notch two since the commence
ment of the war-thcr assumed dignity and refusal to
make regular exchange with what they called the
':rebel government didn't suit them well after the
late battles, wherein captured many thousands
of their cutthroat hrelings. The Richmond Enquirer
of the 10th says:
We have alluded the fact that negotiations were
pending between the Confederate and Federal govern
ments for general exchange of prisoners. The Com
missioner is Maj Gen. d. H. Hill, who is now engaged
in preparing the lists of exchanged having been
agreed that each Government should report the num-
Der and names of all prisoners in DURANGO, on parole
and wounded, and perform the exchange by giving
for man. and in relation officers, in such ratios
as the usages of have established as just The
movement was initiated by the Federal Government,
whose special messenger reached Richmond few days
ago by flag of truce. Some weeks must elapse before
the exchange is cOnsumatcd."

wounded in our possession commenced on Friday

WHOM WE WHIPPED AT RICHMOND.-It ap-
pears from Yankee statements, that We routed in
the recent battles near Richmond, not only the
"Grand Army of the Potomac" but every Yam
kee that Lincoln could rake and scrape from the
four quarters of his broken down empire The
Cleaveland (Ohio) Plandealer, of the 18th June,
in summing up says:
4" There is no doubt of large reinforcements
having arrived at Gen. McClellans army A
Pennsy lyanan reserve of 900 is now with him,
also ten regiments from Newport News, Old Point,
etc. McDowelrs corps, 10000 strong, are also
there. Besides the foregoing, it is known that
several regiments from the State of New York,
and other parts, have joined the army before
Richmond, and still they come"
This the same journal thinks, 'Ewill be re-
ceived glorious news by the North and Vest
How will the same people like the fnale-the re-
ports Of the defeat of the grand army with all Its
reinforcements?
In addition to this the following editorial testi-
mony from the New York Tribune OF the 18th
ut., to the strength of McClellan's army, de-
serves to be placed upon record:
awe have late private advces from our army
before Richmond In spite Of its heavy losses by
sickness, privation and combat it is today the
strongest and most effective army ever assembled
on this continent-much stronger, even in num-
bers, than is generally supposed. 1t has more and
better artillery than any other army in the world
ever had"
