The Confederate senator Elect.

We announced briefly in our last the election Of
the Hon. William A. Graham, of Orange, to the
Confederate Senate, to fill the vacancy which will
occur after the 18th of February, 1864. 1t will be
seen by the proceedings that Gov. Graham's vote
was most Aattering one.
William A. Graham entered public life about
thirty years ago, as member of the House of Com
mons from the town of Hillsborough. He has since
occupied a seat IN both branches of the General
Assembly, and was at one time Speaker of the
House Of Commons. lie has been Senator
Of the United States, Governor of this State for
four years, a member of Mr.. Fillmores Cabinet a
candidate for the Vice Presidency, member of the
State Convention of 1861, and he is now member
of the State Senate. He is still, however, in the
maturity of manhood.
The election Of TO one to the Confederate Senate
would have gra:i6ed the people of this State more
than that of Gov. Graham. He is, in all respects,
one of the first statesmen in the country; and
though warmly devoted to the Southern cause he
is at the same time eminently conservative in his
views His information, his skill as a debater, and
his integrity of character, will at once place him in
leading position in the body to which he has been
chosen. The election of such men as William A.
Graham and Herschell v johnson to the Confede
rate Senate, is an omen OF better times.

Robert 2, Dick, ESQ.

The defeat of this gentleman for JudgeshIp has
been made the OCCASION by ribald and vulgar press
es, of characteristic attack his reputation and
motives. Mr.. Dick has been the target for such
attacks ever since his bold stand at Charleston
against the movements of the Destructives.
Robert P. Dick is too well known as gentleman,
scholar, jurist and orator, to be injured in pub
lie estimation by the vulgar filings of depraved
and hireling press. His reputation will live and
grow brighter, while his assalants are passing to
contempt and oblivion.
Mr.. Dicks vote for Judge was a most 1attering
one lie was defeated II a friendly contest by a
gentleman many years his senior, and ripe and
able lawyer; and defeated only on that account
The election of Mr.. Gillian implies no reflection on
the legal learning, the merits, the Conservat-
ism of Mr. Dick. Still he is assailed and abused by
the DeStrdctives. His friends ought to thank them
Tor this, for they are adding by such to the
strong hold which he already has on the confidence
and affections of the people

Wood /! Wood /!

The people of this city have been compelled for
years, to rely upon the Railroad, to bring supply
of wood during the winter If this resource is cut
off there must be great suffering here this winter
and those who can buy it at ALL must submit to the
most enormous extortion. We learn that the Rail-
road managers are indisposed to bring wood at all,
and added to this we learn that the military autho
rites have commenced the practice of seizing all the
wood they find cut and corded on the road sold to
private individuals, and appropriating it to their
own use. There is neither apology nor justification
for this course. Such acts an outrage upon the
law and upon humanity. No reason can exist about
Raleigh for the sezing of private property for pub
lie USE and such conduct should be arrested at once
The military authorities have it in their power to
buy wood like other people; and besides this, the
State has woodland and teams, sufficiently idle to cut
and haul what is needed for the military Offices and
camps.

Bad Faith.

The Conservatives of Cumberland and Harnett
will see by reference to the vote for Senator that
Mr. Shepherd, one of the Commoners from those Coun
ties, voted with his Destructive colleague, Mr.. Nc
Kay, and other Desructives for George Davis for
Senator
Good faith between the representative and his
stituents is of the utmost importance Without it,
the very foundations of free institutions at
Slapped. Mr.. Shepherd was brought out and elected
by Conservative influences. Three-fourths Of the
people of Cumberland and Harnett, if the selection
had been left to them, would have preferred Gov.
Graham for Senator to Mr.. Davis. Did not Mr..
Shepherd know this? And knowing it, or know
ing at least that majority of his constituents are
Conservatives, has he not broken faith with them
1t is idle to say that Mr.. Davis toGs Union man.
or Conservative. He was sent as Commissioner
to Washington to make peace and save the govern
ment but, instead of doing that, he went to work
to make war That is the plain English of the whole
matter.
We feel it toSbe our duty to say to the Conserva-
tiyes of the two Counties that in our humble opin-
ion Mr.. Shepherds not reliable Conservative. -
This is no time for trimming or indecsion in public
men. The times call for nerve and frmness Of pur-
pose of which we fear Mr.. Shepherd is nearly Ges-
titute

The Latest on Intervention.

The latest arrival from Europe states that the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs has addressed
communication to the Ambassadors of France at
London and ST. Petersburg. indicating a desire on
the part of the Emperor of France, that the good
offices of France, England and Russia shall be ten
dered to the United States and Confederate States
in favor of armistce, in the hope that it may lead
to peace
The British government in reply expresses the
belief that the time has not arrived when it thinks
such proposition would be acceptable to the Lin
coin government, and prefers to await more pro-
pitous opportunity.
Russia talks doubtingly of success, but agrees if
France should persist in its purpose of mediation
to lend its moral support to the proposition, if Eng
land should sanction it.
Some of the English papers den ounce the non-in-
teryention policy of England.

nnion and Harmonr.


The Conservative party of this State is one and
indivisible. It is contending not for Offices and
spoils, but for the good of the country Its foun-
daton stone is the right Of the people to gorernj
and its great object is to preserve liberty among our
selves while we are struggling for it against the
common enemy. Conservatives are not willing to
exchange one despotsm for another, or tattered
Constitution for another We know there is a By
ends a Far-speech at every turn in the political
road suggesting delusive thoughts to true Conser-
vatves. If office had been the object of those Con-
servatives who were once Democrats, they would
have remained with the old Democratic party, even
after THAT party had been disgraced and demoralized
by the Yanceyites. Stand to your guns, boys.
Stand like stone wall. Let there be strife be-
tween those who were once Democrats and those
who were once Wings. If injustice has been done,
bear it for the sake of the cause. After all, the
people the judges and their decisions arc seldom
wrong. They will see to it, in the long run, that
justice is done. The tendency in these degenerate
times is to ofce-seeking 1t is at the saddest
and most dangerous feature of the times 1t shows
that old even in youth that the vices of age
are "dimming the fine gold" of early manhood.
Let US rebuke this tendency. Let our motto be,
country before self-union and harmony-every
thing for the cause, nothing for men. Let us do
this and we shall triumph before the people again
and again,-our enemies will be disappointed and
our liberties as people will be conserved.

The News.

Matters on the Rappahannock and about Win
chester remain as they were. The plans of Burn
side have been check mated and he will most proba
bly, change his base. Slight skirmishing frequently
occurs near our lines but there is no positive evil
dence of an early advance. About Suffolk, the
movements of the enemy appear to be. confined to
plundering the inhabitants around, and an occasion
al skirmish with our pickets.
Affairs in the West seem to make slow progress.
The reported advance of Rosencranz from Nashville
is denied.
dispatch states that old Jack Morgan was cap
tured some days ago near Tyre Springs, but effected
his escape by ruse. We do not credit the story.
Gen. Joe Johnston and staff have left Richmond
for the West
II is said that the Yankee Morgan is marching
upon Knoxville.

that in the condition of our country, "conscrip-

AGENTs.-A friend who writes US, wishes to know
what We will allow Agents to get subscribers for
US. We reply, that months ago We gave notice
that we could no longer send the Standard to any
number of persons at club rates, e. in plain Eng
lish, we could no longer afford to send the Weekly
Standard to any for less than 81, or the Semi
Weekly for less than 81 per year, in advance, nor
make deduction for Agents. But we stated that
if any of our friends would interest themselves in
obtaining subscribers, to all who sent US the cash
for ten subscribers to either paper we would send
copy free That is the best we can do in these war
times, and at war prices for paper, ink and labor
for the that we anxious to avoid the ne
cessity of increasing the price of the paper being
DESTROYS of making the. Standard welcome vis-
tant to the poor as well as the rich. Other papers
in the Confederaey have very generally increased
their prices, but 90 not wish to raise the price
of the STANDARD so long as it is unavoidable.
