The GREATEST OF COMPLIMENTS. there is
an old Whig in the country let him rejoice at the
compliment paid him aud his party by an interior
journals; without inquirug too closely into its
source. The Red Bluff Beacon, a Copperhead
journal, speaking OF the detection in North Caro-
lima, against the rebel oligarchy, says:
=" North Carolina almost always a Whig State, and
have noticed Iha most Of the Union the South
formerly -ionged to that party"
:" Most of the Union men of the South formerly
belonged to that (the Whig) party" As there
were but two parties in the South, namely, one
Democratic and the other Whig the Democrats
must all have turned rebels according TO the
BeacoH's own showing. Indeed there is not a
traitor or Copperhead in the North who is not Of
the Democracy = SacramentO Bee.

grave of the "Old Dominion" Her friends
stopped at Salem Crossing, and as the train
swept on, we caught glimpse Of those white

dition is fully equal to any previous time 50
far as regards numbers and material of war.
