COnscripts Voting.

Will the conscripts in camp near this place be
allo,ced to cote? If they arc organized into COM
panies or regiments they will have the right to
VOTE in camp, for Governor, members Of the Legis
ature, and Sherifs, under the ordinance Of the Con-
vention; but if not so organized, they will have the
right to vote, the Courthouse in Raleigh for Gov
ernor Or, if they reach their regiments in Virginia
in time, they will have the right to vote there, under
the ordinance of the Convention.
We trust that the conscrrs will not be ordered
off at such time as to he on the road on the day
of election. If at all practicable, and compatible
with the service let them be here to vote, either in
camp on the 3lst July, or in Raleigh on the 7th of
August, or in their regiments on the 3lst July. If
is decided that they cannot vote in camp this
place, and they are started for Virginia after the Slst
July, or so as to be on the road that day, they
will not have it in their power to vote at ALL for the
election day in the army will have gone by. These
brave men feel as deep interest as others do in
the management of public affairs, and their right OF
suffrage should be saoredly respected Let the bal
lotbox rule in civil, and the cartridge:box in mill
.ary matters. Of all other citizens the soldier has
the best right to vote.

Look on this Picture.

The Editor of the Register makes dolefal appeal
to Col Vance, in his paper of the 2sth of June to
retire from the contest for Governor. In doing so,
be says
"If he will withdraw his name from the canvass,
old women and young, old and young, twill
rise up and call him blessed" and when ''halcyon
peace shall resume her sway in our land. the high
est Aoao,s w1ich grateful people Gun 6cstow soiU
be his"
And now look on that.
In his paper Of July 12th our amiable neighbor,
not having been able to persuade Colonel Vance to
withdraw, says
ave defy the Editor Of the Standard to show
what Mr.. Vance has done for "the interests of
North Carolina" except to join her army, from
which it would seem, he is very willing to let his
4" too partial friends take him, in order that they
NAV place him in position in civil life Jor ~hich
hs;s wholly untitled By tile habits Of lis life and
the qualities Of his mind.
In Jnne, if he will only do certain thing, 1.-THE
highest honors which grateful people can bestow
shall be his"-but in July he is mere joke-teller'
s..wbolly untitled" for civil office. "Oh" Syme,
where is thy blush ?"

A Distressed .staylf.derate .

Our amiable and abie-bodied friend of the Will.
mington Journal is very much distressed on two
accounts First because We have printed an extra
Standard containing Vance tickets; and secondly,
because, when Johnston man, handed Vance
man in Lenoir Johnston ticket to look at and the
place of Johnston's residence not being on it, the
Vance man very promptly took his pencil and wrote,
"Qf South Carolina" A very good joke, by the
way. Instead of souring up at 1t, our amiable CO.
temporary should have treated it as clever bit Of
pleasantly. The Vance men wit do such things
now and then. The Journal says our extra has
~. Butts on the wrapper" Very well, what ofiits'
The Journal used to publish for 81 Butts and
he published for one Abe Lincoln after his procla
nation, and tried to draw his pay for it. We ex.
pect to "Butt you off" Mr. Fulton. as old Col.
Cleaveland "bottcd off" the Tories in the revolu-
ton. He used to take them to a log, with ropo
around their necks and then make ono Of his negro
bows "butt them off," 1t was good movement in
those days, and we expect to repeat it next week
and the week AFTER with the exception Of the rope.

Look to the LEGISLATURE.

1t is now apparent that the Stallfederates have
despared of defeating Col Vance, and that they arc
devotng all their attention to the Legislature They
wish to carry that so as to secure small portion Of
the spoils and at the same time embarrass Col Vance
as Governor.
We appeal to our friends in every County to leave
no effort untried to carry the Assembly. Vote as
unit for the best men. Vote for the right men, and
for just the right number in each County to defeat
the Sallfeds. Be sure tn send tickets to the army,
and write to your friends there to see that you have
fair play. Call out the candidates on the Governor.
ship. Ifthey are not for Vance and Reform. vote
them down. See to it that you have active Vance
and Reform men at every ballot-box, who vii! work
all day for the cause. Hundreds and thousands Of
votes may be secured in this way.

the thanks Of every man in the County for rernon-
strating against this order But, because he stood
by justice and the people, he incurred the ilwill of
oalfeds in the capitol who joining their brother
otahfed, Capt. Bledsoe, in hunting him down. And
now we will go further and state another thing that
o'l russ did: During the session of the Legislature
=, '. Martn acting for Gov Clark, issued an order
a., volunteers, as soon as they got into camp,
:"o"'@ 90 stripped naked by the surgeons and eranp
s''ea 10 see IT they ,oers sound. This was another
0u"'se' "h'cn the volunteers resented. Col. Russ,
as soon as the matter was brought to his notice in
troduced resolution in the Commons, which was
promptly passed, ordering Gov Clark and Gen
Martin to revoke this order. 1t was done. andthese
orave men were not degraded by being stripped and
handled like negroes. This is another reason whv
uov' Clark, bis Aids and the other Stallfeds do not
like Col Russ. Where was Gapt. Bledsoe about
that tIme? He was IN the Senate ne raise his
voice IN that body to protect the volunteers ao.nst
THIS proposed degradation? Surely not for he was
one OF Gen. Martins "staff" The inference ;s-
nothing appearing to the contrarythat he approved
the order of his chief in this matter.
The sum and substance Of the whole matter is
that Col. Russ is charged in this circular soith hao
eng acted the part of traitor to his natire State
Now, VIC say that COL Russ has done more for vol.
unteering and for the war than Capt. Bledsoe 1t is
true he has not been in the field, for his crcumstan
ces have been such as to forbid it; but in this re-
spect even he has the advantage of Capt. Bledsoe.
The latter has advocated the black Aag but he mas
taken good care not to face the enemy and attempt
to carry out the black flag principle While COL
Russ has been laboring to raise volunteer compa.
nles and contributing his means to their aid Capt
Bledsoe has been sitting in the shade, enjoying
snug Office and, if report be true, purchasing his
sugar, coffee, SALT and the like from the government
at much lower prices than those paid by the people
for these articles.
A friend, who heard Capt. Bledsoe speak at Au.
burn informs us that the contents of the circular
we are noticing are pretty much what Capt. Bledsoe
said on that occasion. Who reported the speech
with so much accuracy? Who embodied it in this
circular? Who pays the expense of printing this
offensive attack on Col. Russ? We all know that
Mr.. Syme does not work for ncthing-that he char
ges for the smallest announcement even in his PAPER
Did he print that immense pile of these circulars for
nothing? Are not his friends, the Stalled candi-
dates. to pay him for it2 If so, whether they pay
him directly or indirectly, they o;U Jreak their
agreement wiM the other candidates. This is plain
Why? They may pay for tickets, and for circulars
issued in self defence; but to bring ont matter

agreement We pause for a reply

Death Of Major T. N. crdmp,cr.

Il We are panied to record the death Of Mai. T. N.
Crumpler Of Ashe, which took place near Richmond
few days since, of . wound received in a conflict
with the enemy below Richmond. The wound was
inflicted by minnie ball, which passed through
| his lungs and came out near his shoulder blade.
Maj Crumpler belonged to Col. Bakers formerly
Ransom's) cavalry. He entered the service as a
Captain and was promoted to be Major of the regi-
meat He was among the foremost in the charge
in which he lost his life.
We had the pleasure of conversing with him at
length, a few days before his death. He was on
bis way to Richmond, and spoke in the most anima.
ted terms of his regiment: and of the opportunity
which would soon be presented of meeting the enc
my Drawer or a nobler spirit than his never an
: imated human body. He was young gentleman
cdueesioa and ane abilities, and had already ia
Ron respectable position among the leading public
men of the State He opposed the dissolution Of
the Union up to Lincoln's proclamation; andwhen
told, in the House Of Commons, Of which be was a
member, that he was tardy IN the work of revolu-
ton, he replied that he would cling to the old gov.
ernment as long as he honorably could, but that if
any attempt should be made to coerce the South he
would resist it. and that when the day of battle ar
rived he and his friends would be found as far in
front, among the broken columns of the enemy, as
those who appeared to be so anxious for tie war.
Most nobly has he redeemed his pledge.
The whole country mourns. "Red battle stamps
bis fool" and bis victims fall on every hand. Our
best and most useful men disappear forever as rap
idly as snow fakes on the river. Every family Ia
ments some victim of battle or camp disease. But
they sleep in honored graves, and the day-sta Of
independence will shine the turf that covers
their remains. Its beams will shed Joy through
many dwelling. They will rest on the grave of
no one more patriotic or gallant or more lamented
by those who knew him, than Thomas NEWTON
CRuMPLER.
:: So the struck EAGLE stretched upon the plain,
No more through rolling clouds to again"
In hall and field defender of her laws,
Fell this bold champion Of his country's cause.

DESCENDING INTO THE GRAVE TO MAKE PARTY Car.
IrAL.--We have indeed fallen ON evil times, when
political partizans grave and rend the
cerements of thedead, in he hope of making lit
tie capital. The Reaister copies an article from the
Standard in relation to the untimey death of Lieut..
Merritt of Chatham, and, seizng hold of the deter
mination which Lieut. Merritt expressed to us re-
main in the army until the closed, he goes outof
way to assa COL Vance and to contrast his course
with that Of deceased friend Now, in the first
place. Col. Vance is not Seeking to leave the army.
He is candidate for Governor against his own wish
eS. The great body of the people have signified
their purpose to take him out of the army, and to
make him Commander-in- Chief of our forces at
home; and he would, have been less or more than q
man, if ho had stubbornly opposed this purpose
And in the second place, We know that Lieut. Mcr-
ritt himself wrote to COL Vance, urging him in the
strongest terms to permit his name to be used for
Governor. During the last conversation we had
With a BIN be told us he intended to write to Col.
referred to the pleasure it would afford him. both as
soldier and citizen, to cast his vote for Col.
Vance, lie did not regard the determination he had
formed to remain in the army, as affecting any of his
brother soljiers, especially those who, like Col.
Vance, called for by the people of The State to
occupy positions where they could be more useful
to the country than they could be in the field.
1t is common thing with some of the Stallfedc.
rate journals to so down into the grave to make
party capital. Such hyenalike tactics constitute
half the stock in trade of hirelng sheet in this
City, 1t sheds maudn tears at least once week
over the grave Of Gov. Ellis, to the disgust Of the
friends Of that gentleman; and in a late issue, in
noticing an article Of ours in which we did simple
justice to Col Vance and his regiment in the battle
of the 3lst June it howls in the blue season" over
a score of our officers slain in battle, and among
them over Col McElroy, who is alive and well.
These hyenas are welcome to all tie capital they
can make by such course.
