More of the Bitterness, of Party.

The Register quotes from letters written by off,
GERS in the army in which the Legislature of this
State is grossly and unjustly assaied. These let
terwriters affect to believe that the Conservatives
Of the Legislature in favor of reconstruction
of the Union A grosser libel was never uttered.
Those who make the charge are either to be ptied
for their ignorance or despised for their malice
The charitable construction to be placed on such
conduct is, that the writers have been misled by
such papers as the Register.
One of these officers speaks of the army return
ing home to break up the Internal Legislature |"
We give this as a specimen of the mob spirit which
the Register is encouraging 1t is the language of
desperate man, uttered through desperate news
paper. The truth is two-thirds of our soldiers
agree in opinion with Gov. Vance and the Conser
vatives of the Legislature. If these officers, who
were no doubt appointed on account of their polit
cal opinions, should attempt to crafty their parti
IAN malice by breaking up the Internal Legisla-
ture" as one of them calls it they would soon find
themselves tossed the bayonets of the Conserva-
tive soldiers of the State.
One of these writers says, Our soldiers have
every confidence in Gov. Vance, but with one voice
they deprecate, condemn, and denounce the Legis
lature for its position of antagonsm to the Confed-
crate government" We repeat there is no differ
enca of opinion between Gov. Vance and the Legis-
lature. The very measure which this writer de-
nOunces as antagonistic to the common government
GoO. Vance himself recommended Instead of being
antagonistic to the government, it is in harmony
with it This writer shows his ignorance of the
views and feelings of our soldiers in Virginia.
Every one of them is anxious to see the State de-
Tended, and nearly every of them would oe glad
to hear that the State had raised ten regiments for
that purpose. Next to the pleasure it would give
them to come home themselves to repel the enemy,
would be their qualification at hearing that troops
had been organized in the State with that vew

nnr Late Yintaries.


The people of the Confederate States have reason
to be thankful for the splendid victories which have
recently crowned their arms. At Fredericksburg
the flower Of the enemy's troops-the hosts on which
they confidently relied to take Richmond have been
hurled back with immense slaughter. AT MUIR
freesborough a signal victory has been achieved,
which, together with the failure of the enemy in
their attack on Vicksburg, will go very far to break
their power in the. Mississippi valley.
The new year opens brightly for the Southern
cause The Yankees are no nearer the consumma-
of their work of subjugation than they were year
ago. Let US be patient and hopeful, and cour'
ageous. Peace may yet be distant, but one thing
we know, and that is, we are on the road to it A
constant succession of disasters to enemies and
of victories for u.s. must sooner or later, end the

There is atmosphere of political bitterness hanging
over the City OF Raleigh at the present time which, like
the malaria that broOded over the town of Wilmington du
ring the last fall seems to exercise epidemic influence
upon those brought within its sphere from which there is
no escape but to 60 forth among the people and breathe the
purer air popular feelig and opinion WI Journal
The foregoing was meant by the Journal for Gov.
Vance and his friends
There is no political bitterness in Raleigh equal
to that displayed by the Editor of the Journal him
sell, when he was last in Raleigh as a member of
the Internal Improvement Board. At former
meeting of that Board the Governor and Mr. Kirk
land, members of it being present, O. G. Parsley,
Esq of Wilmington, was appointed the States
proxy in the meeting to be held of the stock
holders of the Wilmington and Weldon Road. But
subsequent meeting of the Board was held, Mr.
Fulton being in attendance with Gov Vance and
Dir. Kirkland. Mr. Fulton was anxious to secure
the election of Destructive original secessionst
as President of the Road and fearing that Mr..
Parsley might not cast the vote of the State in &C
cordance with his wishes be moved to instruct him
to vote for his favorite Mr.. Kirkland agreed with
him, and the instructions were given, against the
earnest protest of Gov. Vance, who desired that Mr.
Parsley should have some discretion left to him in
so important a matter Indeed, we learn that Mr.
Fulton even modestly offered, by his own resolution
to make himself the State proxy to cast the vote for
his favorite in the event of Mr. Parsleys declining
to act; but Mr. Kirkland, who was governed by
some sense of decency and propriety, objected to
that part of the resolution, and Mr.. Fulton with
drew it Under these Instructions, Mr.. Wallace
was elected President of the Road.
Such course was without example in the action
of the Board. The State representatives had al
ways been left free to do the best they could for the
State and the stockholders without regard to party
but on this occasion, so intense and indecent was
Mr. Fultons party zeal that he insisted on the in
structions, for the ayowed purpose of placing po-
ltcal friend in Office And yet he is shocked at the
political bitterness" in the atmosphere of Raleigh,
and turns with an innocent and patriotic air to the
purer atmosphere of popular feeling and opinion ~
But this is only one of many specimens of the
Journals honesty. That paper is constantly crying
out against party, but is at the same time in every
thing, the most ultra preudiced, and bigoted party
sheet in the State.

The University.

1t will be seen by the advertisement in the Stand
ard to-day, that the next session Of the University
of North Carolina will begin on the 18th inst
The means of education at the University are of
the best character, and there is an ample range of
accommodation for students Its gratifying to find,
while other institutions of learning have been COM
PEELED to suspend their operations, that the Uni.
versi:y of this State continues to dispense from
its ancient seat the benefits and blessings of educa-
ton. We trust that the number of students the
coming session will be increased. The worthy Pre-
sident and Professors entitled to much praise for
their attention to their duties and for their efforts
TO sustain the University in these trying times.

The Enemy at Newborn.

Many rumors are adoat in regard to probable
movements of the enemy in our Eastern counues'
but we are not yet in possession of what we consi
der sufficient authority to state definitely the facts
of the case.
It appears to be credited, that the beast Butler
of New Orleans notoriety, has been placed IN COM
u.nd of the Yankee forces in North Carolina It's
also stated that the enemy has been reinforced at
Nowbern from Suffolk and other points, and that an
carly advance will be made on both sides of Neuse
or nv both Neuse and Tar rivers, in order to make
demonstration against GOldsboro' and Rocky Mount
at the same time The impression also prevails
that that movement will be preparatory to an adj
vance upon Wilmington or Raleigh.
From all we can learn, there is great activity
among our commanders below. We hope the enc
nv will be met by sufficient force this time, not
only to check but to demOlish them.
fit be true that Butler is in command, we hope
our brave bows will use every effort to bag him.
Let not his vile foot desecrate the soil Of the Old
North State. We believe that $4,000 has been Of
fered for his head.

Westated recently that Mr.. W. @. Loftin, Of lie

authorities and consigned to the Bastile a. Salisbu

writ Of habeas corpus in his case from Judge

Badham among other things that he had tao 1aa-

Badhams associate counsel, waited on Judge Saun-
ders to know what he would do after this resistance
to his fiat by this military officer when the Judge
replied that he would take no further steps in the

The Pre.idep, and Mr. yaposy. !.

President Davis, accompanied by Hon. William
L. Yancey and others, reached this City on Satur-
day evening last on his way from the West to
Richmond The President was respectfully and
warmly greeted and addressed the people assembled
at the Western Depot for some twenty minutes, on
the state of the country. He repeated the good
news of our signal victories at Murfreesborough and
Vicksburg, which was received with enthusiastic
applause by the people. He also alluded IN the
most complimentary terms to Gov. Vance and to
the State, for the efforts which have been made in
the common cause. He said the Governor had put
his shoulders to the wheel and had greatly aide'
him by swelling our regiments with conscripts;
and that the soldiers of our State had been every
where in the forefront of the battle winning laurels
for themselves for their State, and the Confederacy
He spoke with the utmost confidence of the final re-
suit of the struggle, and urged our people to con-
tnue to FL up their thinned regiments in Virginia,
as the best means of meeting and vanquishing the
foe and securing peace
There were one or two illusions in the speech
which marked it as original secession in its charac-
ter but we not disposed to notice these allu-
sions. We were not able to take notes on the oc-
casion, and shall not, therefore, do the President
the injustice to attempt full report Of what he
said. ..-.-.
After the President had concluded, Mr.. Yancey
came forward in response to loud calls and briefly
addressed the people. He referred to the madness
which seems TO rule the North in their efforts to
subjugate the South, and spoke most hopefully of
the result of the war. He urged the people to dis
regard party, and to be unit in sentiment and &C.

the people would have the right at the proper time,
to change their rulers If they should desire to do
but meanwhile it was the duty of every one to sus
tain the government in its efforts to repel the COM
mon foe.
The President and Mr.. Yancey left for Richmond
in the evening Weldon train.

The Fight Mt MurfreesbOrO'.

Tn our last we gave brief dispatch from Gen.
Brarr, dated Dec S1st announcing that he had as
sailed the enemy and driven him from every posi-
ton except his extreme left.
On the 1st inst, he telegraphs that the enemy
had fallen back from his entire position. On the
81 he teegraphs that the enemy had retreated but
short distance to the rear of his former position.
That he drew his left flank from position, but our
attacking party again retired with considerable loss
on both sides The fighting during the 9lst Dec.
and ID instant appears to have been most desperate
and bloody.
Our cavalry on the LIST, under Gen. Wheeler and
Col. Wharton was in the rear of the enemy, and
had captured and destroyed 800 loaded wagons and
parolcd 700 prisoners, and taken several thousand
stand of arms On the I'd, they captured 200 pris-
oners, one piece of artillery, and destroyed 200
wagons.
The position of Rosencranz is exceedingly criti-
cal, yet he holds on with logged purpose. If re-
Inducements 90 in to Gen. Bragg, Rosencranz must
either capitulate or retreat into Kentucky, which
must result IN the surrender OF Nashville and the
destruction of his army.
So far Gen. Bragg has had decided success, and
we trust that the next dispatches will announce the
utter route of Rosencranz.
Our loss is very severe. Gen. Raines and Col.
Fry of Miss. are among the killed-Gen. Chalmers
and Col Fish, of Louisiana, among the wounded.
Gen. Sill and three other Yankee Generals are re.
ported killed.
Gems Morgan and Forest have destroyed large
amount of Federal property, captured large mum
Der of prisoners and destroyed the Railroads. The
enemy in Tennessee and Mississippi are said to be
without Railroad or telegraphic communication.

North.Carolina wounded.

From the report of Surg. Gen. Warren, of the
North Carolina wounded in Chimborazo Hospital,
Richmond, Va, published to-day, it will be seen
that of the reported loss at Fredericksburg our
side our brave old State bears her full share as she
has doneon all the battle fields in Virginia. There
are six Hospitals in Richmond specially devoted to
North Carolina soldiers, and told that there
is but one North Carolina physician DR.. o. F. Man
son, of Granville, in charge of Hospital The
services of many of our eminent physicians could
be obtained, but as IN everything else, North Caro-
lima is ignored, even in the selection Of physicians
to attend our own men.

We learn that Gov. Vance has very promptly and
properly instructed the Colonels Of the militia in
Wilkes at once to put stop to this impressment Of
corn and to use force if necessary to stop it The
Selling of corn to support army in the field, and
in the presence of the enemy, is very different
thing from Selling it at half price, to feed famished
