No man in North Carolina did more to involve
US in the than the Editor of the Standard Tor
he sought seat in the State Convention avowedly
to vote US into it, elected, and dld cote US
into it.-FhyetteUile Observer.
1t is not true that We "sought seat in the State
Convention" We were nominated in. February,
1861 without soliciting single person to vote Tor
US in mass meeting and we were elected by over
twelve hundred majority. In May, we consented
to run on the Conservative ticket with Mr.. Badger
and Mr.. Battle; but we remained in Raleigh. and
made no effort to obtain votes fearing that if we
canvassed We would excite party strife. We saw
our mistake after the election, for it was evident
then that our opponents did not intend that party
strife should cease.
Neither is it true that we are responsible for the
war. the war had commenced by the action of
the cotton States before we we're elected Mr.
Lincoln's proclamation compelled US either to fight
the North or the South, and We chose to light the
former. The Obserser took the same view at that
time, but it has since changed its coat. 1t con-
demned, as we did, the precipitate action of the
cotton States, and the conduct Of their allies in
this State who aided them in involving us in the
war; but the ObserUer has since eaten its words
and justified the cotton States 1t had to do this
in order to secure admission into the Destructive
fold
The war is the result of the course Of the abo,
tonists Of the North and the secessionists of the
South, acting and re acting on each other. The
border or breadstuf States are not responsible for
lit They did all they could to keep out of it, and
to promote peace between the two extremes, and
they we're involved in it against their wish, but
being in, they have borne them selves gallandy and
gloriously This is the truth Of history.

In the afternoon they brought forward heavy

compelled TO .tisH back about third Of mile to

Another dispatch, dated 10th, says: The enc.

Burnside will defend it to the last man and. it il
believed successfully. The troops are in the best
spirits" :
The reports from Gen. Washburne's army. in the
Teche country, state that his whole loss in killed
wounded aud missing was 667. The 67th Indians
was captured almost entire. The rebel force out
numbered ours five to one
Several columns Of the Herald are occupied With
description of the "National Metropolis or cem-
etery at Gettysburg. Lincoln, Seward several for
egn ministers, and other dgnitaries were present.
Lincoln was serensded the night preceding the day
on which the ceremony took place. H. declined to
make speech on the ground that !" in his position
1t was Somewhat important that be should not say
any foolish things" A .yoiee--H you can help it.
Lncon-lt very often happens that the only way
to help it is to say nothing atalL Laughter.)
Seward was also serenaded and responded in an
anti-slavery speech. He thanked God for the hope
that when slavery is abolished the country will be
again united
The notorious Eorney was. also serenaded. In
hsspeech he declased thar he was in favor Of Lin
coln's election in 1860, but did not wantit to sp-
pear so, that he n,ignt the better accomplish the
breaking up'of the Democracy.

PRINTERS AND THE WAR-No class of men is
more fully represented, and none have displayed
more courage in this war than printers. ASouthern
contemporary says:
Among the killed and wounded in the late battles
before Chattanooga, can count over thirty prin-
ters and editors, significant fact when remember
ed that this class composes such small part Of the
population Of the South. In all, there are only
about eight hundred printers IN the Confederacy,
and half of them in the army. Yet some silly
people would break up every newspaper in the land
and have the people to live in utter ignorance OF
what Is going on.

For the Stan00rQ.
Nh EDITOR: Your friends, the Postmasters are
suffering what conceive. great wrong at the
hands of the authorities at Richmond. It is this:
in auditing their accounts, Mr. Baker often makes
them pay postage for five quarters Ma year when
they have only collected for four and when there
really is but that due. The Auditor takes this
ground ;ahat whole quarters only are known to the
Department, and though a man subscribe for pa
per the lst of December, he shall pay from the lst
of October. In the case 81 times week paper,
compelling the payment Of 50 cents where only 26
cents is due. The excuse for this course is, Sec.
1872 Of P. o. Regulations which grew out of and was
entirely applicable to the system of prepayment of
postage and the deduction of onehalf therefor and
which. is repealed, which reads thus: Postage
cannot be prepaid on regular newspapers or peri.
odicas for less term than qusrter and, in all
cases, postage must be paid on such matte, at the
commencement Of quarter" If Poktmasters are
required to pay for more than is delivered they will
exact the same from subscribers and many will suis
fer wrong thereby. The whole thing is perfectly
preposterous G.

My DEAR Mrs. NJ: Since the Gettys-
burg battle we have had a large addition to the
number of our patients. | alone have tine
charge of fifty-one of whom fear may not
continue through the day.
Now, Mrs. NJ, must ask if you Wor-
cester ladies cannot send us a box. We are
in great need of hy-netting (two and quar-
ter yards wide) oranges, lemons, handker-
chiefs, Gold silk, Bingham, cotton, as well as
lnen), fans, and soft towels. More than one
good well educated man has been to me for
paper to write home to his wife. Please send
quantity of paper. envelopes and stamps.
more than twenty are unable to leave the
ward. Some for amusement, make rings
OF India rubber and pearl buttons, also chains
from gutta percha needles. Even these have
no means of obtaining. The boys need for
making these, avis and files; would like some
tools and patterns for parlor brackets. Some
tunes wish Worcester ladies would have a
falr, and receive and sell articles made by
these SICK men, the proceeds to go to each
individual.
1--WE are in need of bay rum, camphor, any
quantity OF old linen pieces; we have plenty
OF lint. If you have room, some nice New
England crackers-we don't have them here.
The Miss Williams, whose muniicence has
supplied these wants, has broken down in
health and gone hOme."
