DEATHS OF CAPTAIN CHALMERS GLENN AND HIS
FAITHFUL SERVANT MAT-A TOUCHING ROMANCE IN
REAL LIFE-A touching romance in real life is af.
forded by the deaths of Capt. Chalmers Glenn, of
Rockingham county, N. O., and his faithful follower
Mat Reared together from childhood, Mat had
shared in all the boyish pranks and frolics of his
MASTER and in later life had been his most constant
attendant and most faithful servant On the MORN
ing of the battle of Boonsboro, Captain Glenn call
ed him to him and said "Mat, will be killed in
this battle; see me buried then go home, and be
to your mistress and my children all you have ever
been to me-" From behind a rock the faithful fell
low watched all day the form of his beloved master
as the tide Of battle eSbed and flowed over the
field. At last he missed him, and rushing forward
found the prediction, alas too tIuly verhed-life
was already extinct Assisted by two members of
his company, grave was dug with bayonets and
soon the silent earth held all that was dearest on
earth to Mat Slowly and sadly he turned his face
homeward, and there faithfully delivered all the
messages and valuabeS with which his master had
entrusted him. From that day it seemed that as if
his mission on earth was accomplished. Though
constantly attending his masters children and
promptly obedient to the slightest word of his mis-
tress, he visibly declined. Finally he wa; taken
sick, and despite all the assistance which medical
skill and kind attention could afford he died the
4th of February inst What striking instance of
the power of affection in the negro heart and the
strength and beauty of the tie between kind mas
ter and faithful servant. Peace to Mats ashes-
May the unholy tread of 'negro worshipper"
pollute the last resting place of his gallant
master or his faithful SELF JMG

Mr. HOLDEN Eight out of ten in this County
approve of what you say of the Richmond Engui-
Ter, John Speman, Judge Saunders, and Destruc-
tives generally. That the Judge may not feel hurt,
we will notice him first; beside, he is entitled to
the distinction because Indignation rises high
est when we think of Judge counselling mob law
from the bench. The Judge thinks you ought to
be mobhed. He has read the history of civil wars
to no purpose if he did not learn that those who
advise mob law apt to be the first victims of the
mob. Mr.. Burke said, during the French revolu-
ton, when the government undertook to feed the
people, that 1.-THE government granaries and store
houses would be broken into by the very people for
whom the provisions bought" So it was in
France, and so it has been with u.s. alude to the
seizure of salt IN Pennsylvania county. hope we
may be spared such disgraceul scenes but there is
no telling what may follow Judge Saunders char
ges. If no impeachment follows, seizing salt and
public stores certainly will. AS to the Enquirer
and Spelman, they are already whipped.
Mr.. Burke says, revOlutionists are always look
ing out for traitors and treason. They are unwil-
ling to admit the power OF ability of the enemy,
and they attribute all his success to treachery and
traitors" Hence it was said Fort Donelson fell by
treason-New Orleans fell by treason. All our de-
teats will be caused by treason, If you will believe
seceders. Maryland and Kentucky, they say, were
betrayed; treason did the work for Them Months
ago You showed, from Speman's own editorials
that ne was giving up the contest The truth is
look upon all such men as the Editors of the EhQui
Ter, Journal, Charlotte Bulletin, Wilmington Jour-
nal, &c, &C. as favoring reconstruction or wink
ing at it. If they are net for reconstruction, pray
what are they doing to prevent Lincoln from ac-

ting, and they know it. When do they mean to
fight to prevent it? Never-never After what
they have said and Lincoln has DONE it is time they
should fight or quit talking, they will lose char
acter with the people for courage and candor.
leave them now, Judge and all, in your hands. If
you can't get them in the army, you put them
where they ought to be, with the people.

read it over and they compared it with the various
ordinances Of the Convention and the evidence filed

The Circulation of the Richmond Enquirer.
Mr.. EDITOR AS the Richmond Enquirer boasts
of having such an extensive circulation, should the
propretors not be satisfied to forward the paper to
subscribers the terms they have heretofore adop-
ted, as the other Richmond papers do? You just
ly remarked few days since, that officers OF the
army were compelled to take the paper to get Of
fetal copies of General Orders of the War Depart
ment This is strictly true, for have heard many
officers assign this the reason, and only reason,
they subscribed for the paper. The proprietors
are intense Southern men, but are Yankees enough
to keep an eye to the profits, and cunning enough
1t is well known that officers ordered from place
to place every few days. hence, many subscribe for
papers by the month or quarter, aud renew their
subscriptions they expire, and alter the direction
of their papers, if necessary. The propretors Of
the Enquirer finding that officers were compelled
to take their paper concluded to alter their TERMS
and compel them to order and pay in advance for
six months, instead of one; and if they should be
ordered from Drury's Bluff to Goldsboro', N. c.,
or Vicksburg, Miss, that is no fault of the paper,
provided the proprietors get the money in advance
Send them a subscription for less than six MONTHS
and say, if am on duty here when the time ex-
pires, l will renew-the cool answer is you re-
ierred to our terms: subscription received for
less than six months. Let the War Department
issue order that orders published in any one of
the Richmond papers will be considered official,
and my word for it, the Enquirers list of subscr-
bers will fall off faster than it ever increased.
