A BUSINESS MAN FOR GOVERNOR

One item we omitted in our notice of the Char.
& S. G. Railroad last week, showing the impor-
tance of having business men, and not politicians,
to fill important statons-Mr. Johnston was not
the first President of this road, but gentleman
was selected in South Carolina, he was not busi-
ness man, the road was badly managed for the
stockholders, and the consequence the stock
deprecated largely, and at one period the whole
road could have Deen purchased with sic hun6red
Mousoud do11ors At this juncture VIM. John
ston was made President of the road, he went to
work with his accustomed energy, and in short
while the stock went up to par, and at this time it
will sell for a premium. The road could not be
purchased to-day with Si.rteen hundred Mousaad
doN0rS-haYing advanced under Mr. Johnston's
management, one million of dolorst
We submit it to the people of North Carolina to
say, if Mr. Johnston would not make Just such
Governor as the State with her extensive Rail
Road interests, demands at this time He GER
tainly would. flour Railroads and Public Works
are not managed much better in the future than
they have been in the past, the people who pay
taxes will be ruined
One word more in reply to the Standard, upon
the subject Of this Railroad-Mr Johnston does
not keep his Office in Columbia, but he keeps his
Office in Charlotte, where be has kept it for many
years. Why the Standard made this frivolous
charge, we leave the reader to judge.
VIM Johnston farmers and he was
lnduced in that honorable vocation while ke was
a boy. He has success and distinction by
his energy, fidelity and administrative abilities
displayed in all the positions which he has filled.

ENGLISH OPINION OF THE NATION.
ALITY OF THE CONFEDERATES

From the London Times of June 18th.
1t is plain that the time is approaching when
Europe will bave to think seriously of its relations
with the two belligerents in the American war.
contest is raging of which we can predict moth
ing but that every week will add to the hatreds
of the two communities, and will spread ruin
wider and wider. The state of affairs disclosed to
us by the last advices deserves anxious considera
ton.
1t cannot be doubted that we are approaching
time when more important question even than
that of an offer of mediation may have to be con-
sidered by England and France. The Southern
Confederacy has constituted itself nation for
nearly year aud a half. During that time the
attachmeEt Of the people to the new Government
has been indubitably shown; immense armies have
been raised, the greatest sacrifices have been en-
through long series of battle s-some victories,
deeats-has shown the " force and conss.
tency" which are looked upon as the tests of ma
tionality. Wherever the Government is unmolcst-
ed the laws administered regularly as in time
of peace, and wherever the Federals have pene-
tratcd they are received with animosity which
they resent, as at New Orleans, by military rule
of intolerab bic brutality. The vision of Union
party in the South has been dispeled, as the
Northerners themselves are compelled to admit
with bitterness and modification.
All these circumstances point but to one con-
cluson. Either this must be brought to an
end, or the time will at last come when the South
may claim its recognition by foreign nations
as an Independent power. The precedents of our
American colonies, of the Spanish colonies, of
Belgium and of Tuscany and Naples the other
day, forbid to question this right when asserted
by the Confederate States. 1t is our duty +,
anticipate this possible event, and it may be wise
as well as generous for sta e men on this side OF
the ocean to approach the American government
in friendly spirit with the offer of their good
offices at this great crisis of its fortunes

Col Vance has been recommended for Governor
by the people Of Rutherford Polk, Wake, John tson
Alexander, Wilkes, lredell, Moore, and Macon
Standard.
BY how many people? The Wilkes meeting was
7, two withdrew, and remained.-The Ircje
meeting was not more than dozen. The Alex
ander meeting not larger than the Wilkes
affair, and We presume all the others were in
proportion. The Johnston county meeting
composed of only man besides the officers who
presided and he evaporated when the resolutions
were read recommending W. W. Holden as their
second choice, Mr. Graham being first. Col.
Vance even in this meeting was only mentioned
incidentally at the tail of the list No wonder
that the one man withdrew in disgust.
The friends of Mr.. Johnston have held no
meetings, to manufacture public opinion, and they
will hold none. The people have enough of their
own affairs to engage their attention, without
attending public meetings" and Mr.. Johnston
stands III no need of any such affairs Political
meetings always originate in party spirit, and they
who get them up, are usually office seekers and
sposmen like the Standard The people should
be left to vote for the Of their choice, freely,
without caucus dictation. Let the people go to
the polls and vote for either Mr.. Johnston or Col.
Vance, as shall suit them. Political meetings are
humbugs-.StGtcsuHle ETpress.

Rowan BIBLE SoCIETY.-The first annual
meeting of this Society was held in the Methodist
Church in this place, on the 22d ult. The meet
ing was we'll attended, and the interest manifested
in this great and good cause highly commendable.
4 number of life memberships taken and
other contributions made amounting riu all to
about 5000. And subsequently, the fund has
been increased $3.50.
Among those made life members, either Of the
Confederate or County Society, we would mention
Gen. d. Ii. Hill and lady, Gen. T. J. Jackson
and lady, Capt. Ii. C. Jones, Capt. Mcleod Tur-
ner, DIR. Samuel Kerr, and Rev. 3. s. Krider.
DIR. Kerr is entitled to the credit of having taken
three life memberships to the Confederate Society;
and other gentlemen also showed very commenda-
bic Hberality.
The Society has in hands about 5000 in
cash, which will soon BE- transferred to the-Con-
federate Society to aid it in publishing the Scrip
tures- Salisbury Watch"'a".

THE MURDERER BUTLER.-The murder of
Mumford in New Orleans by Butler is deed
which ought never to be forgiven. If such
crimes passed by, there is no knowing what
atrocities this iend will commit. The exc
cradle wretch must be punished for this murder
If deeds horrible escape retrbution, then indeed
has Justice forsaken the earth.
Mr. Mumford was a native of Onslow county,
N. G., and was ofvery respectable parentage. He
leaves half broth era most estmable gentleman
who resides near Wilmington. Justice requi-
that proper notice should be taken of the bru-
tai deed, and We trust the matter will not be
overlooked by the President Wilmington Jour-
nal.

INCIDENTS OF THE LATE BATTLES

The Yankees are distinguished for the tenacity
with which they cling to presumptuous hope.
On the day when the battle was set in motion that
put to flight the Federal army around Richmond,
several of their officers were discussing the nature
of the operations in the V.ley. One of them was
expatatng learnedly upon the predicament in
which jackson supposed certainly to be, and
was engaged in making diagram the smooth
earth in the yard of of the tarm houses in which
they were quartered, and, suting the action to the
word, was demonstrating that "here was Jackson,
there was Fremont, here again was Shields and
there was the army of Mcdowell" and consc
quently it was impossible for Jackson to make his
escape.' Before the sanguine officer had ceased
his disquisiton, the of Jackson guns began to
be heard, and ball came pounding away into the
very house before which they we're standing The
battle commenced, the defeat succeeded, and
among the prisoners brought in by the invincible
old heros troops, the identical officer who had
convinced himself and was convincing those
around him. that Jackson was not within hun
dred miles of the place
Several of Jackson's men, We learn were walk
ing over farm in Hanover county, the bat
tie field, after the sudden evacuation Of the place
by the yankees, when they came upon two new
made graves. One of the men, with knowing
wink, remarked that they uncommonly long
graves, and suggested the proprety Of opening
them, which, being done, they were rewarded for
their trouble by finding five hundred splendid
muskets, and many oyercoats, &c, carefully
packed in boxes.

VOLUNTARY SURRENDERs.-On yesterday,
there arrived at Gaines farm, fifteen hundred
prisoners, en- route for the city. Scattered along
the line, from opposite Drury's Bluff to Charles
City Court House, are between three and four
thousand more, taking easy stages for the same
destination. They all disheartened and weari-
eG out, condition the sincerity of which, is at
tested by the fact that, with few exceptions, every
one of the whole number gave themselves up vol
UNFAIRLY. Their numbers are being daily increased
by fresh stragglers who are making their way out
of the swamps into the roads. For some days
past, scarcely hour escaped in which some one
two half dozen or more did not emerge from the
wilderness into the Charles City road and inquire
of residents the way to Richmond. Once in the
right track, they kept it and did not stop until
halted at our inner posts where they were col
lected in companies, and allowed to proceed up un-
der guard. They were so perfectly docile that in
some instances they were permitted to come up
without any other attendance than guide feeling
conscious as they did, that any attempted escape
would only plunge them into difficulties, from
which they might never be extricated. They ad-
nit the virtual rout, Generalization and ruin of
the army.-Richn.ond Enquirer, It'll
