North Carolina is beginning to speak
out boldly. The Raleigh Standard.
formerly the leading Whig paper in
the State, denounces JEFF. Davis as n
repndiator, style the war"causelcss,'
and hopes that North Carolina will
seek terms for herself ut Washing
ton, irrespective ofJef Davis. The
Standard and Richmond Enquirer
have lorg been bitterly opposing each
other, and the latter paper advises
jeff Davis to suppress the Standard.
The Standard says that il force is
brought against it, force will be used
in its defense. An extract from an
article in the Standard, SAYS, in sub
stance. that although it would great
ly deplore the necessity of asking
terms at Washington, it would pre-
fer adopting that course to suffering
North Carolina to be subiugated

Movements at yicksburg look to
ward Mobile. and movement will
undoubtedly take place mt no very
distant day. The editor of the Bul-
lctin has conversed with gentlemen
from the South representing seven
seeded States. lie places confidence
in thcir statements. One from Gcor-
gia, lately in arms against the Unit
ed States, acknowledges his estima-
ton of the Northern people. The
South have measured their strength
with that of the Government and
found the latter the stronger, and
they are ready and waiting for some
movement to be made looking to
reunion and peace. Theirexperience
of war. destitution and suffering is
Iperfcctlv satisfactory. The time for
ldcludinr the South with highly
wrought stories and false Confedcr-
ate ,t,tories has passed. They no
longer believe their official reborts oi
such victories, having found so many
false. They have seen State after
State ovorrun with Federals, strorg-
| hold after stronghold taken by I'm
on troops, and they give up all hopes
of success. The armies of the Gon-
federacy Join in this feeling generally
vast proportion of the rebel army
is broken disgusted, spiritless. The
people are willing to correct their
grand mistake, and will no longer he
, ruiied by those who led them astray.
Mr.. Kinds, the gentlemen from
whom the above facts were obtained
| is substantiated by letter the editor
of the Bulletin has received from
Vicksborg, July 2lst from one John
Mason, who has left the Confederate
army. The following is summary
of the letter: The writer deserted
the Confederate cause ut Charleston
and now belongs to the Union army
THE men ut Charleston desired him
to inform the newspapers that II Gen
IBcaurcrard did not surrender Charles
ton to the Union army in twenty-five
ldavs, they (thc men) would shoot
- --I oil nfIinnrs in command
They don't want to fight any longer
Lincoln gave the rebels ninety day
to deliver up their arms and come
back into the Union. jeff. Davis
and Beaurcgard would not listen t.
President Lincoln, and hence thc
South has lost all her slaves. Beau
REGARD had better look out for him
self. and JEFF. Davis had better stol
fighting and accept this offer.
IrE-A st. Louis paper states tha
nearly all the rebel soldiers who have
come up the river are desirous of TAX
ing the oath, and even of entering TIN
loval ranks. However much any on,
statement may be exaggerated, th'
evidence comes from so many quar-
ters, and in many cases from such re
liable sources, that we cannot doub
the existence of strong undercur
rent at the South, which, If not nov
Union in the strictest sense of tn
term, must ultimately become so. Ii
