Z Absurd AND SLANDERoUs.-The most absurd sto.
yet out is that the Conservative members Of the
Legislature held private caucus to deliberate on
certain propositions coming from Mr.. Stanly, to
the effect that if North Carolina would return to
the Union, :he Federals would guarantee the pro-
lection OF The property Of the people, and that said
CAUCUS took vote on it, and refused by only one
vote, the acceptance OF Mr. Stanly's proposition.
We do not know how this foolish and sanderous
story originated nor do we care. Weknow enough
about those denominated Conservatives to know
that it is most absurd lie and feel certain that no
respectable man will vouch for it. The old Union
men were the last to give up the Union as it was,
and they be the last to listen to any terms that
do not begin with distinct recognition Of the indie
pendencc of the Southern Confederacy. They have
not been giving their sons and pouring out their
money for naught nor will they yield their resolve
for Constitutional liberty and the independence ri
the South while they can pull trigger or raise
dollar. Any enc who affects, to believe less, is
worse than fool Look for such soulless creatures
among those who before the war, were going to
'wade to their knees in blood "shed the last
drop" &c, but have since been diligently en-
ployed in speculation. We have before our minds
eye several such blatant ADVANTAGEOUS" huzzaing,
blood-thirsty secessonists, remaining quietly at
home, and may be seen slipping about seeming
out chances for making money. They are the men
who will take protection for their trash and more
worthless lives. Let the people mark them, and
watch the progress of this revolution and they will
see our predictions verified in spirit at least should
we be spared the modification and ruin of literal
fulhllment
P. S. Since the above was put in type we learn
that the secret meeting referred to, was secret
meeting of the Legislature, at which Gov. Vance
read communication from the Federal Military Gov.
Stanly, and his reply to the same. That reply
have heard spoken of one of the best things Gov.
Vance has done, and received the unanimous dp.
ptduse of the legislature. From this doubtless,
originated the false and absurd story whispered
about in this town in private circles for the purpose
of predjudicing the people against the Legislature.
The same persons profess great admiration and re-
spect for Gov. Vance, who, they say, defeated the
IRRESPONSIBLE attempt referred to above; but their
professions have this Specification and no more,
they desire breach between the Governor and the
people who elected him.-Salisbury WatckmGn.

It is noticeable that the clamor for peace is con-
fined as yet to the radical Republicans So far no
conservative organ of public opinion has said one
word in favor of peace unless it brought with 1t a
restoration of the Union. Mr.. Conway, OF Kansas,
in the House, wishes to stop the war and define
boundaries, while nearly all the radical papers favor
a final separation unless slavery goes by the board
The Springfield Republican has an article on peace
in its issue of yesterday, in which it says:
1.-THE country is getting tired of unsuccessful war
of blunders in field, of doubt and hesitation and
confusion in council, of fraud and rascality every
where. Unless the success in battle which Mr..
Lincoln at last confesses is the prime necessity OF
the hour, soon comes, there will be a clamor for
peace from all sides that cannot be resisted"
, These are strong words, and probably represent
the real feeling of the Republicans, who have lost
heart at their own non success. There is however,
no probability that the war will stop until the OPP
position have chance to see what they can do to-
wards suppressing the rebellion either by vigor in
the field or wise and conclliatory action in the
cabinet. The present party in power can never end
this war--NeD York World

Yankees in Nerth Carolina.

The fact cannot be longer doubted, which we
have labored to impress upon the authorities and
the public for months that Eastern North Carolina
IS to be largely the theatre of war for some
time to come. From various sources we have the
assurance that formidable force, already estimated
by some at $4,000 and by others as high as $4,000
is collecting at Newbern and Morehead City for an
earlSadvance. The destruction of the Monitor and
the injury done to the Passaic by the gale, have
doubtless prevented an attack upon Wilmington
before this The impression is that attacks will be
made simultaneously at several points, but what
the enemy will do must be matter of conjecture.
1t is all-important that the enemy should be
closely watched and that sufficient force to crush
him at once should be concentrated as near as pos
sibe to him. Wear glad to learn that the author
tiles are moving in the matter, but to what extent
it would be impolitic to mention

REMARKS OF Mr. WARREN,
OF BEAUFORT.

Delivered in the Senate of North Carolina
The question was upon the passage of the House
resolutions in relation to Gen. French's order to
burn all cotton east Of the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad, il not removed by the 18th December.-
They were entitled, Resolutions protesting against
the burning Of cotton in Eastern North Carolina"
and were under consideration m the Senate on the
9Th December.
Mr.. Warren said that there had heretofore been
much unnecessary destruction of private property in
the East He hoped that the resolutions would pass
and that the people would be allowed reasonable
time to remove their cotton. 1t was impossible for
them to do so by the 10Th Of December lie asked
if it was to be understood from this order of Gen.
French and other circumstances, that after that
time, the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad was to
be made the military line. The people of the East
had as much loyalty and patriotism as those of any
section OF the State dared claim for themselves But
If this was the understanding and the people of the
East were to be abandoned to the enemy, and in
addition to that their property was to be DESTROYED
by our own authorities, they would begin to in
qure into the extent of their obligation of allegiance
They would do this with reference to the we'll un.
derstood reciprocal obligation Of protection.
The East has contributed all her men to the war;
They are4or the most part on the soil of Virginia,
or beneath II, and are left almost naked and de-
feneeless. II we had simply the men whom those
counties have furnished could protect ourselves
to the extent at least of removing and securing our
property. But we have asked for assistance IN vain
Gentlemen talk fippantly of the destruction of
private property. They can afford to do 50. The
torch is not yet lighted to consume their substance
and involve them in ruin. He regretted to say il,
but is nevertheless the fact that there 40 many
people i'm The country, who, like those in Rome in
It's corrupt days, are exceedingly liberal with other
peoples property.
AS to compensation being made for property de.
stroyed ne must be permitted to be incredulous up
on that subject
lie would not stop to inquire whether the resolu-
tons were exactly a reeable to the AUTHORITIES or
not but should vote for them without hesitation

be allowed to say that the 3lst regiment was not
ordered ito the river bank" Had such an order
been gver, it would probably have been as readily
obeyed as was the order to lie down in that road to
be shot at and there remained two or three hours
without being allowed to fire gun. Most likely
Capt Brown is right in saying that "some Other
forces should AaUe been engaged" but that the 3lst
was not engaged was owing to no fault of its CON-
handing officer, so far as my knowledge extends To
whom or what can the Captain refer when he speaks
of somebody claiming bravery due to others ?"-
Surely to us-or at least have heard OF no such
claim being made. If any one has claimed or
