BY this time it was growing dark how the

NORTH CAROLINA ELECTIONS.


A very singular Ond ecsentric community is
our sister State Of North Carolina. A State
which has no occasion for prisons, and which,
until the war came had little or no debt, but
paid as she went, has certainly amost respect.
able character, and her stocks and obligations
cannot but stand at high premium on the
exchanges Of the world. But with all that,
North Carolina has a curious way and will
of her Own, and is never done occasioning SUR
! priscs to her neighbors. Fer e1ample-wo
are'told that she is sending to us, as her Con-
gre's'onal delegation, number of gentlemen
who say they want peace, and will use their
Sndeavors to attain that blessing. That fa-
| nous Mr.. Leach, who said in his address to
the electors that the "civil war" had lasted
ong enough, is believed to be one Of the suc-
cessful candidates; and he will be here in the
next Congress, not sshelping the President to
carry on the war, but bothcring driveling,
snivoling about Peace.
Yet, all this timo nothing is more certain
than that North Carolinians do not think the
war has lasted long enough, while there are
any Yankee. troops upon Confederate ground.
They are carrying on the war both as State
and a, individual soldiers vigorously enough.
No State has sent forth larger proportion of
her sons to the field. No troops charge the
Yankees with more hearty good will, nor
carry the Confederate battle flag deeper into
the ranks of the foe The very soldier that
votes for Mr.. Leach, who declares that the
war has lasted long enough, goes straight into
line of battle and fires away at the Yankee
enemy. While the New York Tribune !"
compliments q Raleigh newspaper as "a loyal
paper" the readers Of that paper are found
by the readers Of the Tribune" excessively
ugly customers. While the apparent senti-
mcnt of the State, as declared by this cleo.
ton, is that the war has lasted long enough,
the State has shown more zeal and activity
than any other in providing her troops for
long campaigns. At this moment North Caro-
lima, with her own steamer, the Vance, is i'm
porting through the blockade comfortable
clothing and other quartermasters' stores for
her soldiers in The field.
What an unaccountablc people. They
fight to defend their rights and their homes,
and they send man to Congress because he
says that they have defended them "long
enough" The politics of that State, we con-
fess, are too hard fer us we are going to give
up all comment and speculation upon them !;
and shall hereafter he content to know that
the people of the Old North State, whatever
they may say about it, whatever newspapers
they may read, whatever curious delegates
they may send to Congress, act like good Con-
federates all the time.
We even venture to hope that Mr.. Leach, if
he be indeed elected to Congress, although he
has proclaimed that the war has been carried
on long enough, may, when he comes to Rich
mond, be prevailed upon, by various considera-
ations, to let it 90 on little longer.

TOO MUCH CENSURE.
To the Editors of the ENQUIRER:

10 me Edt0rS o. the ERQUarer
Gentlemen You will allow, I trust, one
n you: readers, IN respectful terms, toaiemur
tn recent structure of yours upon General
Bragg. Do you not DO an immense injury to
our cause by this course? Even if Bragg is
not all hat the country could wish, ard that
i. may h.ve been his misfortune to have made
some blanders. is it wise; is it prudent or
polite, 10 arouse the rcjudices and to inhamc
the public mind against this officer at this
particu!;:c crisis. 1t occurs to me that in
stead ci producing dissatisfaction in the
ranks Of our army, as such course is well
calculated to do, it should be the constant aim
and desire Of oar public Journals to inspire
confidence in the ability and patriotism of our
Generals.
But, what has Bragg done, that he should
be compelled to smart under the merciess
lash Of your able pen? What act Of his.
during the fearful and bloody struggle at
ChckamGuga should subject him tohsuch Il
fiery ordeal? Did hc not perform his part
well? Was be either whipped or out-ger:
eralcd? The results Of that extraordinary
battle are too well kncwn throughout the
Confcdcra y for such 4 conclusion even to be
thought Of. He was victorious to degree
which has fillel the whole country with
enthusiasm.
Do you blame him for not following up his
victory-for not pushing on to Chattanooga
Immediately. after the fght2 IF so, you are
far more unreasonable than I supposed you to
he. For three dreadful days and nights had
his shattered columns confronted and beaten
the enemy. His men werc' exhausted and
worn down By fatigue and hunger. Thou
sands had been killed and the wounded COW
cred the ground, and in the midst of all, night
overlook hirn, and certainly he was in no
condition 70 push forward. If you are 50 In
considerable as not to think of all this, be-
Iievc . grateful country will yet do justice to
Gen. Bragg. \.
Our correspondent *" cannot surely have
read cur remarks On Gen. Bragg. We e1>
pressed no ''censure," for We were wholly
unacquainted with facts upon which to predi
cate cersure. We averred that Gen. BragS's
,f:icers did not have that confluence in his
military capacity that was necessary to sue
cess. Cpcn this averment, made upon undis-
putabie evidence, we requested change oil
commanders, but we. neither expressed CEN
sure nor sought to destroy confidence in Gen.
Bragg Ii any confidence is still reposed in
him by tho army, we are glad IL; but we
very mach doubt it.

THE RUMoRs OF YESTERDAY.

Sunday, at all times fertile in rumors, WAS
particularly 20 on yesterday. But we fear
that the rumors Of yesterday orc too true,
and, unfortunately, too disgracetHHy true. 1t
was reported that Gen. Echols had been dis
astrously defeated near Lswisburg, Virginia; !;
but more than defeat, shameful, uniniti-
gated disgrace was permitted to befal our
arms in the boastcd army of Northern FiT>
ginia. 7'ro achole Jrigaaes Of the army OF
Northern Virginia were captured on sat"r-
day We learned this fot as runlor, bus as Il
fact, from such source that we cannot'nrcS-
ton its accuracy. We could ros learn whose
brigades they were, not even whether they
were cavalry or infantry. But it matters not
who the brigadiers are, not whether their com'
mands are infantry or cavalry, tho honor Of
the army, The interest Of the cause, the safety
of the country all unite 10 demand their dis
n,issnl from the army upon which their neSli-
gence has brought such irreparable disgrace.
at present writing we arc not able to give any
other particulars. Tho rumor of this disgrace
comes to US from O. source that demands cur
credence, and its serious and shameful char
acter requires that all publicity should be
given TO it.
The rumor on the street was to the follow
ing effective hope it may be no worse than
the following we fear it is
Passengers by the train from Fredericks'
burg, yesterday evening, state that large
force of Yankees crossed the Rappahannock,
on Saturday evening, at Kelly's Ford, drove
in the Confederate pickets stationed there.
and captured few prisoners. At last ae'
counts heavy firing was said to be going on.
The War Department received intelligence
Yesterday that large Yankee force had land
ed at Winton, on the Chowan, about forty
miles from Weldon.
