ha. never been ratified by fair vote

has never been ratified by fair vote OF
the people. The confederate government
has been established over them by the ty-
rants and traitors in power, and is as much
despotism as the government of Aus
tria. A restriction of the elective fran
chise, combining it only to the lordly mobiles
OF the lash, is kno Sn TO be leading and
iavorite measure of jeff Davis and his
minions. They dare not trust the people.
b They are in foul conspiracy not only
against the Union, but against the liber-
lies of the people of the seeded States
Themselves, and we owe the sacred duty
to tsern, us well as to ourselves to break
the yoke with which they are to be en-
shaved ifthe rebellion succeeds. There
are already mutterings and murmurings
Of discomfort all over the South with the
Richmond dynasty. There is even large
Union league in New Orleans, and no
doubt in many other cities and towns in
the South. They are waiting anxiously
to lend their aid to an advancing Union
army. We shall look confidently for open
demonstrations in behalf Of the Union on
the part of the prosecuted and suffering
people of the South themselves, within the
next few months. Let the Union armies
advance, and 60 to their relief. Need we
any assurance that the presence of a
large Federal army in Nashville would
instantly revolutionize that State, and
place it actively on the side Of the Union
Would not the occupation of New Orleans
revolutionize the State of Louisiana, which
never voted at all for seceisson, but against
it? Would not the occupation in, suffi-
cient force of the chief points upon the
coast of Texas bring the thousands of
Germans of Western Texas to the rescue? ?
Would not the capture of Richmond, bring
the people of the State OF Virginia, now
bleeding and groaning under the burdens
of this gigantic rebellion, to their senses,
and their allegiance? Is not North Caro-
lima ripe for rebellion against the tyrrany
which dragged her into revolution against
her will solemnly expressed at the ballot
box?
Let us in view of these considerations
renew our hope and our courage. The
will and must be subdued, and
that speedily. The apple is fully ripe
and ready to fall into our lap. The deci-
sive blow must be struck, and must be
struck now! So we believe the Admin
stration is convinced, and so will it act.
TO suppose otherwise, is to suppose our
leaders to be abjectly imbecile, or sunk to
hopeless apathy.

schools--and guide their own political as
well as social and individual affairs. They
are peaceable, industrious, frugal and vir-
tuous. New England furnishes the true
standard Of what free institutions can do
to elevate, ennoble, and dignity the entire
population. Compare our farmers, me-
chanics, artizans, and day laborers with
the squalid, ignorant, depressed working
classes of England and behold the con-
trast. See how free institutions elevate
the masses in this country and how des-
potism depresses and degrades them in
Europe.
The Times makes its own squalid pop
ulation the standard by which TO judge of
our own. II mistakes us altogether
There is not a scavenger in the streets O,
an American city, unless he has just es
capped from the bondage OF European des-
potism, who is not equal to the best OF
England's "mob." And we should dis
like to think there is "swab" in the worst
stews and dens of our commercial empori-
ums who would not blush 10 use the coarse
and vulgar epithets with which the col
umns OF even so "elevated" paper as the
Times TEEN and smoke from week to
week.
The Times tells its readers that it is this
degraded mob" in the United States
which has brought our institutions to the
verge of ruin. The Times knew that it
was uttering most malignant and wick
ed lie. Itknows that the threatened ruin
of our institutions is wholly the work of
wealthy and aristocratic shareholders of
the South 1t is they and not the "mob"
who have lit the torch of civil war in our
country, and for the very object which
the Times has so much at heart, namely:
the obstruction of free institutions. In the
eyes of the Times editors, white man in
America who don't own a niger, belongs
to the mob" In equally Euphonious
phrase the shareholders themselves de-
nominate such man "mud-sill"
We think the Times will discover ut
last that the mud-sills" will not con-
sent to surrender up their liberties to
a few saveholding apes of British Aristoc-
racy. The Shareholders, even aided by
the Thunderer, will not be able TO eman-
cipate themselves from the rule of the
people of the United States, under the
Constitution. Though hand be joined in
hand of despet, the glorious institutions of |
LIBERTY REGULATED BY LAW, cannot be
'verthrown upon this continent. We will
olerate the rule of no King, Emperor,
Pope, or Alistocracy; and last of all of
IN aristocracy founded on negro slavery.

TILE GOVERNORSHIP.

The Raleigh press have presented us a couple of
candidates In the persons of Mr.. Johnston who,
we believe is the President ola SouthCarolina Rail
Road, but of whom know very little, and the
Hon. T. B. Vance, one of North Cardinals most
distinguished and patriotic SONS, who is now serving
mis- country in the battlefield.
We perceive, with some regret, that few papers
in the State object to Col. Vance because he was
not before breakfast secessionist and sustain Mr.
Johnston for the reason that he wasl The OBJ
lection, it seems to us, is very uncharitable and
absurd one, when we remember that Col. Vance not
only advocated eternal separation from the North
soon as all hope Of fair and honorable compromise
failed, but calamity drew his sword and went forth
to meet the enemy, while Mr.. Johnston has stood
aloof! Could any man with spark of gratitude in
his bosom hesitate one moment to say which one of
the two he would choose? We judge mems "pa-
triotsn" in trying times like these by their ACTS
and the man who voluntarily HES to the battle field
and combats the enemy gives greater proof of patri
tism than he who stands far of, and says "So,
bows !"-NiLt0R Chronicle.

locomotives and numbers OF cars, and lo,OOO stand
of arms lie says for a week or two prior to the
falling back Ofthe Confederate army, preparations
to do so were in progress. The SICK military stores
and baggage were moved back to Boonville, twenty
miles below Corinth, on the Mobile and ONO rail-
road. An order was given the troops to COOK SIX
days TationS and they were marched, first, to their
entertainments, kept there day or two, and then
marched out in front of them, as though cantemt
plating attack on the enemy, and they were Kept
there, until the wagon trains could make some

Salt.


In answer to our note, Mr.. E. Emmons, Jr., has
kindly furnished the following easy method of
obtaining salt from pickle and the earth in smoke
houses We advise our readers to preserve the ar
ticle. The information given is important at any
time, and especially so at the present period:
To purity Salt and Brine from Fish and Neat
barrels
The solid salt if there is any in the barrels,
should be scooped out and drained, aud the drain
lngs returned to the brine. Boil the brine down
to solid This together with the salt already re-
moved from the brine, must be heated to a dull red
heat, or sufficient to char the organic matter con-
tanned in it; if it cakes in burning it should be
stirred to bring all parts in with the heat
Then dissolve in clean water, using no more water
than is necessary for the purpose. This impure So
luton must be carefully strained through fine
clOth-a bag made of Canton flannel is the best
If it does not come through clear at first run it
through second or third time without washing the
strainer. The strained brine must be boiled down
again. As the evaporation progresses, salt will be
formed at the bottom of the pan or kettle and
this retards the evaporation, it can lie ladled out
and drained, the DRAWINGS returned to the kettle,
and the salt spread out on clean vessels to dry,
while the boiling must be continued until the
is nearly eyaporated, when the salt may be removed
and dried In this way, Salt equal to the finest
table-salt may be made from the most impure brine.
A saturated solution Of salt contains about one
fourth by weight, Of salt; consequently, gallon
of brine should yield one and halt to two pounds
Of salt. This process could be adVantageously EN-
ployed in families, With salt at the old prices.
Salt from springs and that leached from earths de-
composed sand stone, &c, containing organic mat
ter Of which there are several Localities in Chatham
county and other parts of the State may be purified
by the process given above for brineS.
Earth from smoke houses may be leached and
treated IN the same manner. The process is per-
fecty simple; the only care required is that the
burning be sufficient (Salt is not injured by heat
and the straining neatly conducted and all the
sells used, kept clean. =
