=. We are satisfied, from what we see and hear, that
it is darling wish with the authorities at Rich
mond, to cause breach, if possible, between Gov.
Vance and the great body of his friends in North
Carolina. The Same authorities that prosecuted
him during his campaign for Governor, and actually
interposed such obstacles As to prevent him from
forming his legion, now approach him with honied
concentrations and declare that he is true to the
cause while the great body of his friends false
The cue having been given at Richmond, Gov. Vance
and President Davis endorsed in the same breath
by tae Destructive meetings held in this State, and
by. the recent party meetings in the army in Vir
ginia. Tho Conservative party in North Carolina
presents the only obstacle in the Confederate States
to the assumption and exercise of absolute powe- By
the authorities at Richmond. If they can divide
and destroy this party they will then have every
thing their own way. Conservatives Of North Car

Stand like rock. Hyou give way, all will be lost
If the administration at Richmond should be able to
divide ard conquer you, the next Congress will
sweep away every vestge Of civil liberty in these
States. Be firm, patient, and. united. We.do not
believe these Vaccinations against Gov. Vance will
succeed We believe he will stand by his friends.
He has never yet proved false to his pledges or to
his friends and we believe he will maintain his
record in this respect and his own high integrity,
against all the selfish and seductive Influences which
may be brought to bear upon him.

1t is not true, as alleged, that the Hon. Bedford
Brown made avist to the City of Raleigh for the
purpose of avoiding the late meeting at Yxnceyville
with respect to the Editor Of the Standard. Col.
B. was in Yancsyville on the day the meeting was
)held, as most persons who were there well know i;
hut his political other reasons
will readily explain his absence from any such
meeting He has ever been friend to the liberty
@ the press and the liberty of Speech and too much
friend to the Confederate Constitution, which ex-
ressly secures both these great rights, to unite in
by attempt to suppress them. Let the enemies of
he Confederate Constitution and of free govern
nent engage in this unhalowed crusade against lib
rty: their real friends will not be found among
them.
Abraham Lincoln seems to have number of apt
and obedient pupils among the original secession
lists. When be adopts martial law in the United
States and suspension of the writ of hsbsas cor
|pus, they straghtway sec in it marvellous virtues
and urge its adoption here. When be. assaults the
Freedom of the press, and attempts to suppress it,
they see in it sovereign remedy, and urge our
government to do the same thing. The, fanaticism
of secessionsm possesses no more reason than the
anaticism Of aboitnonsm. One extreme copies the
pther; and though they travel different roads, yet
they aim at the same goal, to wit the suppression
Of free speech and free press, and the consequent
destruction of liberty.

Disce,rd and Ill Feeling in the Army.

The late political meetings and conventions in the
army in Virginia have occasioned discord among
the officers and men, and thus weakened the eff.
cheney of the troops and given aid and comfort to
the enemy. Thousands of the soldiers feel that
they have been cheated out of fair expression of
their opinions-that persons have assumed to speak
for Them and have misrepresentsd them because they
had the pososr to do so, and they have no remedy
for this wrong, but must bear it in silence; and
they feel also that these meetings and conventions
falsely called and arrogantly acting in their name
have cast unjust imputations on thousands of their
friends at home. }.
Under these circumstances, if our brave boys
should not acquit themselves as well in the terrible
struggle nat impends, they have heretofore DONE
the blame will rest on those who have stirred up
this strife 1t is impossible that an honest or hon.
orable soldier can love or respect an officer who
has deceived or imposed upon him; and officers
who have. forfeited the respect and confidence Of
their mands owe it to the cause to resign, and
not atteD ,pt to lead their men, under such circum
stances, into the great battle which must soon be
fought. =
We thank God that none Of the awful RESPONSE
5ty Of this party strife in the army rests on our
shoulders.
But tho evil has been done, and our brave soldiers
in Virginia owe it to themselves and to the country
to rise superior to it. and do their duty as hereto

peace in the field and talk for it at home 1t will

distinctly intimates in his last issue that he would

The,Roll or Honor.

A. friend writes us that Capt Josiah s. Ponder,
formerly Of Edgecombe, but more recently Of Car
terst County, who has been running the blockade
successfully for some tims. past has written home
from foreign port that he has sent two cases OF
cotton cards to be distributed free Of charge among
the people of Edgecombe. He also sent some salt,
to be distributed in the same way, but the vessel
containing it was captured. The cards have Ar

useful in Edgeccmbe since the destruction Of Mr..
Battles cotton factory. Such lberality deserves to
be known. Capt P. is in moderate circumstances,
having lost considerably BY the occupation Of Beau
fort by the enemy.
Mr.. Thomas Rozzell, of Lincoln County, has sold
corn to soldiers wives this summer at one dollar
per bushe ,d to his poor neighbors at two dollars
refusing higher price from others He has also
given wool to some poor women, and sold to the
needy at half the current rates. This ID practical
patriotism.
Mr.. John Lemay. Of Granville, living near Will
liamsborough has been very kind to soldiers families
He owns mill, and has uniformly sold meal to
soldiers families at the lowest rates, and has re-
fused to part with his. corn at the most tempting
prices
We learn that Mr.. John Sugg Of Greene County,
has been very.liberal to the poor in his neighbor.

ing" Honored be this mans namel The soldiers
in the army whose families he has relieved, will
bless him for his kindness
Edward Patrick, ESQ.,, the Senator from Lenoir
and Greene, has also devoted much of his time and
means to supplying the poor. At messing held
recently in his County by those having the matter
in charge, he boldly took the ground in opposition
to motion to cut down the allowance to soldiers
families, that they received none too much, as the
soldiers were fighting for our liberty and property,
and their wives and children should be fed if it
took all the property in the County to do it; and
for his part he would sell negro every year to pay
his taxes rather than see them suffer. If We had
more such men as Edward Patrick the families of
the soldiers would fare better, and the soldiers them
selves would feel greater encouragement to fight
for the country. Such men are an honor to human
nature.
