SPRING TnIE.--Yesterday was another
clear and beautiful Spring day, just brac-
ing enough TO plant the lOveliest bios
SONS of hope in mans heart, and to give
him the strength and vigor to fight his
way through life. The merry sunshine
sent thrill of joy to the little musical
souls of the imprisoned canary and
mOeking birds of our city. They sent
forth their merry carols ON the "wild-
wandering air" and their sweet songs
sunk like an Eden dew upon the heart
Of the pAsser-by. We saw many of our
ladies trimming their vines and setting
out slips, while the men were putting
their gardens in order. If this weather
continues, IL will not be long before the
earth will again present a fresh, lovely
and youthful appearance, with buds,
blossoms and flowers scattered in the
widest profusion over her fruitful lap.

Federal and Foreign Affairs.

The New York Herald of the 25th of July contains
lengthy dispatch from Washington, of which the
following is the substance. We give it for what it
is worth:
"It is now admitted by the most sanguine men,
bers OF the Administration that never were our For
eign Affairs In so menacing state England so
official advces indicate, has determined to furnish
the South with irOn-clad navy and it is equally
certain that the Emperor of France has made up his
mind definitely to interfere in our domestic affairs.
The fall of Vicksburg, Port Hudson, and the rebel
defeat at Gettysburg will not it is believed by the
most sagacious friends of the administration, alter
the character of the action France and England have
determined to adopt. On the contrary, the moment
there danger ofthe North overpowering the South
intervention ,yEl Gc tried 10 compel separation,
upon winch England and France are determined
England to cripple the power of this great Republic,
and France to preserve her dominion over Mexico.
With these indications before them, Seward and the
President convinced that this is the most critical
time, so far as regards relations with foreign
powers, since the commencement of the war. From
what bear am inclined to believed that measures
are now foot to put an end to the war. 1t is not
impossible that we may see a sudden change Of
parties next month"

CAROLINA STANDARD:
The Tithingmans


1t is not to be expected that any thing we may
say will have any influence with the administration
at Richmond. Nevertheless we must perform our
duty as North Carolinian, and as well-wlsher to
the Confederate cause. Mr.. Davis cOutd, II he
tOoud soon all causes of serious dlscontent
in this State, and unite peopleas one man. "ete
him most solemnly and most respectfully that Mr.
Bradford will not be able to collect the tlthes IN
this State.
The following communication, from highly re-
spectacle source contains truth plainly and well ex-
pressed
For the Standard.
To President DAVIS Allow me to say you are
wrong in your exclusion of North Caroinlans from
the honors of the half million Of places and onces
which you fill with men from other States. Let
me tell you it is dangerous error to NIL as you
have done, and are doing, various posts IN NoTtn-
Carolina with able-bodied conscripts from other
States, when there are capable and merltcrlous
wounded in North Carolina who could fully dscnarge
the duties. Your Tthingman for North Carolina is
said to be graduate of West Point by birth Penn
sylvanian by adoption a Virginian; warm South
ern man before the enemy appeared at norfolk, al
ter they did come he betook himself to the back woods
of North Carolina. From his appearance, take 1t
the call to 45 included him as a cohscript; and
uOWS Og yOui oNbOh1 JOu 1onS MN Wv g,
the people to be quiet under such degradation ana
disgrace. Vain expectation, Mr.. President The
Governor has told you that the appointment was
giving dissatisfaction You will learn perhaps, too
late, that it is creating ferment that you cannot
allay By the appointment you do injustice to
the people of North Carolina-you do injustice to
the army of the Confederacy. Make, Mr.. President,
your Tithingman a Brigadier; put him in command
of North Carolina brigade if he will lead them
fearlessly to face the enemy as Pettigrew did, as
Anderson did, as Burgwyn did, as Stokes did, as
Fisher did, as Crumpler did, as Campbell did, as
Lee did, as Carmichael did, as Champ. Davis did,
our people will follow and love him while he leads,
and reverence and lament him when he falls. You
limit the Tthingnan in his collection of our pro-
ducts; you can't limit the opprobrium which he is
sure to collect. You will have storchouses for the
tithes; where will you put the opprobrium which
he collects? Castle Thunder and the BaStle at
Salisbury can't hold it.
Let me conclude, Mr. President by saying you
are wanting in fear" don't mean that fear which
destroys mans faculties and renders him incapa-
bic of acting, but that sert of fear which enables
man to foresee coming evil, to measure it, to ex-
anime his powers of resistance to balance the evil
of opposition or defeat, and if he thinks he must be
ultimately oyerpowered, leads him to find good
escape in good time. can no possible disgrace
in feeling this sort of fear and in listening to its
suggestions. l should not think a man brave but
mad who did not feel such fear in such fearful times
as these. Yours for the war, CATO.

~, It was reported that Gen. Longstreets corps
81 been sent towards Fredericksburg, to engage
,bs attention of Gen. Sedgwick, who was reported
an his way to that place The locality occupied by
tbe main body of Gen. Lees army is not stated, but
i is probably Culpepper Courthouse. This is
between the Rappahannock and the Rapidan, and not
rsrr far from the Charlottesville battle ground.
On the 23d July pretty severe fight occurred
At Manassas Gap, between Wrights brigade OF
GeOrgians and portion of the enemy. Our men
fought with spirit, but were forced to retire. our
loss being 900 killed, wounded and missing.
1t is reported that Grant has Joined Meade with
$4,000 men.
Itremains to be seen whether Gen. Lee will give
hattie where he is or retire on Richmond. Il the
enemy should re-occupy Fredericksburg they Will

"AID AND COMFORT TO THE YANKEES. Will
mington Journal copies, without rebuke or dissent,
and in such connexion as apparently to endorse
It's assertions extract from yankee letter pur-
porting to have been written at Newbern June SOth,
containing the following paragraph -
IAN elaborate article appeared in the Raleigh
Standard on the 23d believed to be from the pen of
the Hon. W. A. Graham, denying the right of seceS-
sion from the federal Union, affirming the right of
coercion by the federal government exclaiming
pending assaults against the Union, srrOugly
asserting the right of any State to withdraw at will
from the Confederate States"
We did not read the article alluded to- and there
fore do not know (or indeed believe) that its con.
tents justified the above description Of it; but one
of US happening to be in Raleigh when it appeared,
learned beyond all question that it was written by
different person from Gov. Graham.-Fdy. Obs.
The Observer is correct The article referred to
was not written by Gov. Graham, but by gentle
man who resides many Eies west of Hillsborough.
Neither are the contents of the article correctly
stated by the Yankee paper from which the Journal
quotes, which the latter might easily have seen by
examining the article itself The main object of
the writer was to show the absurdity OF the posi-
ton taken by President Davis in his last message
that the States who were parties to the old Confed
Grafton seeded from that Confederation when they
! established the federal Union. The writer showed
this most concusively. Incidentally, and as part
of the history that day. he also noticed the fact that
leading statesmen affirmed while others opposed the
right of coercion in the federal government; but
there was argument in favor of such right, and
no "exclaiming against the propriety of and any
just cause for the pending assaults against the
Union"
This article, which was signed "Dauilson," at
tracted very general attention, and was attributed
to several of our ablest statesmen. Another COM
muncation from the same source, appears in our
paper to-day.
We agree with the Observer that "the indiscre-
tions of North Carolina papers, in lbeling such men
as Gov. Graham and many others that might be
named have been the sole cause of the notion that
prevails at the North and to some degree in our
sister States, of the existence of strong Union
party in this State" But we go further and say,
that presses which pursue such a course commit
great crime against society and against their
try; that the motive for the crime is personal and
political hatred and the object sought to be accom-
plished is the destruction of the influence and good
name of Conservatives, at any sacrifice. For one,
we have no confidence in such presses and never
expect to have. They kiss only to betray.

Tbreatened Ad-auOe-sn-weI4es n.

We learn that the Yankee forces, in what num-
hers is not known, are supposed to be advancing on
both sides of the Roanoke on Weldon. Col W. j.
Clarke, of the oath, telegraphs to Gov. Vance from
Weldon July 29th, that part of Ransom's brigade
met the enemy in large force on the 2Sth, about
miles from jackson, Northampton, and after an en-
,,rament of four hours drove them back. Five
oompanics of the 24th were alone engaged. Our
Ioss two killed. and less than ten wounded.
It's also stated that our forces met the enemy on
ibe 2Sth at Fort Branch, in Martin County, on the
sonth side of the river, and drove them back. No
r,rticulars. The latest rumor is that the enemy
were retreating on both sides of the river 1t may
be- however, that the fighting is not over The
enemy would hardly advance so far into the inte'
rjor without large force. If they are aiming at
Weldon, their object is to cut off communication
bstveen Virginia and the other Southern States
The loss of Weldon at any time would be serious,
but at this particular time it would be great ca
i,rity. We have confidence in the ability of our
troops to hold it against any odds.

John Mitchell of the Richmond Enquirer, and

a traitor
We have uniformly supported the war, the Con-
federate government the sovereignty of the States,
and we have labored to prevent subverson of the
Confederate Constitution; John Mitchell and his
followers have not done as much for the war as our
friends have, nor have they shown any respect tor
the Constitution or the rights ofthe sovereign States
On the con.rary, they have declared that Courts
Congresses and Legislatures are nutsances,-tney

are the traitors? Not those who support the war;
and at the same time strive to maintain the govern

uphold the Courts and insist that our Congress and
our Legislatures shall not be abolished, but those

We advocate the exercise of the peace making as

strict accordance with the Constitution itself Is
| there any treason in that We invoke the power
of the very Constitution which John Mitchell and
his followers would trampe down, in order if pos
sible to arrest this awful war; but John Mitchell
and his followers, animated by spirit as Satanic as
the pit itself, call for more blood, and urge our
people to stake their all on the same throw with
the most desperate political gamblers that ever
cursed any country We call for no peace Oaich
viU not preserUe the rights Of the sovereign States
and the institutions Of the South; and yet John
Mitchell who has no stake in the institutions of
the South, and no respect for the rights of the
States, pronounces us traitor because we make

is the traitor.
The proudest and mightiest nations have not
thought it beneath their dignity to negotiate while

great Napoleon frequently negotiated while his
armies were in the field, and gave and accepted

Nay, God forbid!-but for peace. Shall we be

LEATHER.-A friend calls our attention to the fact,
that though North Carolina furnishes shoes for her
own soldiers the agents of the Confederate govern
ment are impressing leather in this State for the
Confederate army. This is unjust, and ought not
tobe submitted to- This State cannot furnish SHOES
for her own soldiers, and leather besides for the
troops of other States. The supply is small, and
will be needed by our people at home. If these
agents are permitted to go on impressing, hundreds
and thousands of our white females will be without
Shoes the coming winter. We thought 1t was un,
derstOod, when orr State undertook to shoe and
cohe her own troops, that the Confederate govern
hent would not permit its agents to impress cloth
and leather in North Carolina This '0aS the bar

purporting to have been issued by the Bank Of

counterfeits we have ever seen. 1t is very badly
