Edward Stanley. formerly Of North Caro-.
lima. bat recently hailins from California,
has been appointed Military Governor Of The
fr,t named State. Ono OF his first acts, Of.
ter reaching the old North State, was to
suppress and dispersc school composed oil
the colored population, then In operation
through the benevolcnco Of some northern
gentlemen interested in their welfare. We
shall see whether tho President will justly
his Military Governor in such an act Ills
e,co.o |. found in an old Statute OF North
Carolina. forbiddips the establishment OF
schools for the blacks. Such IN act Is not
only inhumap. irrcligious aud impoli.ie, bot
II i, n diree, insult to the whole north. In
principle you may jus, as well abolish schools
for the whites as the blacks. Butthose who
uphold Gov. Stanley in bls humane work OF
modern civilization intcrpose tho =" BACK

Aside from rebellion there j. no law in that
State excepting military rule. and II is under
hi, higher law which according to the law
Of nation. .upcrccdes for the time being the
civil law ,ha, the federal authority is eser-
ei.cd. Every Statute Of North Carolina 10
held In allegiance to martial law. Hence The
argument Of Gov. Stanley and his friends
falls to the ground. The only logical con-

Of m sr,ial law, and this law is exercised a.

work Of barbarism was not enough. the
same Governor has been engaged in another
work equally dis,as,eful to the North. lie
has transformed himself into the disgusting
profession Of negro driver. catching fugitive
slaves and dragging them OF to their mas

have been allowed by Mr.. Burnside to come
within our lines. They have laborcd IN
building our Notifications, and done other
valuable services, thereby saving the lives OF
our soldirs. They have communicated TO
Gen. burnside erca, amount OF iniorma'
