FOR me SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
From Western North Carolina

From Western North Carolina
Mr.. EDITOR: | hail from the noun
famous portion of Western North Caro-
lima, and am not a sui gensris, but truly
represent the feelings and views of O vast
majority of my fellow citizens. You may,
therefore, take the views set forth in this
article as the true exponent of our ma
tionaf character {; and when the people
hear it rumored abroad, that Western N.
Carolina lis disloyal to the South, you
will have the kindness to assert the con-
trary. s-
We believe in peace, but such a peace
as shall guarantee to us all the privileges
of free, enlightened white men. IL such
a peace cannot be obtained at the hands
of. u enemies, we are determined to shut
ourselves up in u mountain Businesses
and fight old Abe and his minions till the
last man among us is sacrificed; and
then our women will take our places and
mingle their blood with ours, till the
wolf and bear of our mountain forests
shall reign alone in undisturbed sover-
eighty. Let not the yankees, therefore,
be deceived in regard to our true charac-
ter, and suppose that by sending forces
into our territory they shall find sympa-
thisers who will unite with them against
the South. True, there are q few in this
! portion of country, who think it an al
| most objectionable offence to oppose the
| old Constitution and laws of the United
States; and these few might be persua-
ded to oppose the South. But these men
are of the uniformed portion of the
general mass, and only need enlightsn-
ment to make them the strongest AZ.
rents to the South of all people in
I C~onfederacy.
There is, probably, more honesty and
less low, mean, vile cunning among this
people, than among any ofany other part
of the Confederacy. Accustomed to
depend upon his WI efforts to support
himself and family ; breathing the pu
rest air that ever famed the temples o
mortal man; wandering with his dog ant,
rife in search of game over the sun-li
peaks of cloud capped mountains, gain.
upon the wondrous works of the Almighty
architect of the material universe; tn
great soul of the honest mountainee
never stoops low enough to dabble in the
turbid waters of deceit and speculation,
but is ever impressed with t1e grand,
beautiful and sublime in nature.
The collision which occurred q few
DAYS since between the militia of Yancey
I: county and some union men, was caused
by one Jones, q tory from Tennessee
who, in trying to take some prisoners
from the hands of the militia, shot ons
{ Higgins, a Confederate officer, dead upon
the spot. Said Jones is now lodged
in Mcdowell Jail, awaiting his sentence
f.eH. Governor Vance. All such mer
snotsI Re takcr M wherever found. an
The Indians under command of Capt
Lowe, have since secured the whole coun
ty and cleaned it out. They killed Il
: tories and took 26 prisoners, whom they
I. now have taken to camps. These tories
were deserters from the army, who hat
gone into that mountainous country TO
safety.
i AS I am now a resident of this portion
of the State, | will report for the Ag
whatever occurs here, promptly.

GEN. STuART's PERSONAL HABITS. A
correspondent of the Richmond Sentinel
relates of Gen. Stuart that he never un-
der any circumstances touches ardent
spirits, or fails to discountenance its use.
Never sweat al oath under any sort of
provocation. Is always interested in re-
ligious services and enterprises Of his
command, and more than all is a conscien
tious Christian, and attached to the
church. We wish that as much could
be said of all our commanders.

Gan. MoRGAN.-It has been published
on the authority of Northern papers,
that Morgan had been lodged in the Ohio
Penitentiary and treated as a feion, hav-
ing his head shaved and suffering other
indignities. On the other hand, a letter
has been received in Augusta, Ga, from
Mrs. Morgan, stating that she had late
intelligence from her husband, in which
he states that he is kindly treated, and
hopes to be with her on his parole in a
short time.
