HORSE AND MULE MEAr-Our contemporary Of the
Charlotte Democrat copies with commentator the
advice Of the Richmond Enquirer, that we must
take good care of the horses and mules for VIC NAV
have to.ceme at last to horse and mule meat Will
the Editors of those journals set. the example ?
Let them have their teeth fled and make trial Of
it. John Mitchell was no doubt used to such meat
in Europe, butit would test the molars Of our Co.
temporary Yates. ..
What q commentary is this on the sxtravagance
Of those in power! Eighteen. months ago meat was
as plentiful almost as rocks. The army and the
people had the greatest abundance; but now the
army is reduced to few ounces to each man per
day, and thousands of our people have not tasted
meat for weeks The most magnificent resources
any people ever had to begin a revolution, have
been misapplied and wasted and now the sugges-
ton from the official paper is the people must make
up their minds TO live on hefse and mule meat.
They will do no such. thing. They will stop the
war before they will Do IT.

The Movement towards Newberu.

There was no attempt after all to take Newbern.
Gen. Hill has retired with his troops. His object
was, we suppose, to drive in the enemy and bring
out supplies Of corn and bacon. We learn that a
goodiy quantity of the " staff Of life was secured
1t was much needed
In fact, we suppose, strongly fortified as Newbern
is there will be no attempt to storm the place. 1t
would cost many valuable lives, and if taken it is
doubtful whether it could be held. And.if held it
could be of no essential SERVICE fer Fort Macon in
possession of theenemy, commands the ocean. We
do not wish to see the town destroyed; and as for
the miserable contrabands in the place.. we would
not sacrifice the life of one soldier for all Of tn
Let them go. -..
We have confidence in the judgment and energy
of Gen. Hill. Our people may rest assured that he
will do all he can, with the means at hisAcomnand
to protect the Eastern Counties. Those means are
limited Let the people generally aid him end hold
up his hands in the arduous task devolved upon
him..

FoR THE BxrrLE-A companr Of uparmed men,

Mercury Of Saturday.
This is certainly very clever in the " company of
unarmed men over the military age" but how will
they feel when they get down there and find that

Johnston the late Destructive candidate for Cover
