HilIsbors' Military Aoadem =,


We are glad to learn that this excellent institu-
ton, founded by the gallant and deeply lamented
Col C. g. Tew, is lin aourishing condition under
ths able management of Major W. N. Gordon, =
gentleman selected BY Col Tew, year ago, to sup
ply his place while fighting the battles of his coun
try. The patronage Of the School in the present
state Of the country, is the highest proof Of the
qualifications Of Maj. Gordon a,
Welearn that the institution is sti the property
Of the estate Of the late Col Tew, and will continue
SO for the present We take ii. upon ourselves TO
suggest that the institution is the very best memo
rial Of the enterprise, intelligence and worth of
the lamented dead and that ae people Of the State
can in no way SO fitly manifest their sympathy and
the value they attach to the services Of the late Col
Few, as BY patronising largely this excellent
School. %, =, .s.ss,- {.

" Monsieur Tonsop Come Again y,

Inc HSgStEF OF tue 10Th instant c)ntAn8 the pro-
ceedings Of meeting held in the Capitol, in this
City, on the night of the 5th instant composed of
few citizens and few members of the Legislature.
j. R. Logan, Of cleveland, presided and J. H. Foy
Of Onslow, and J. D. Stanford Of Duplin, acted as
Secretaries. T0e've very prosy and very elaborate
resolutions were adopted; but it does not appear
from the proceedings that any one offered them. or
that any debated them though it is stated that
latter debate" they were unanimously adopted"
The most thorough measures were taken to organize
the Destructive party in this State. A Central
Committee and Committee Of Correspondence were
appointed, with reference to the ensuing Congress-
onal election and future elections in this State:
1t must be bad cause, or the leaders must think
the result Of the movement very doubtful, when
no one of them could be found who would &C.
knowledge the resolutions as his own, and when no
one of thea had the boldness to suffer his name to
be published as having taken part in the meeting
The officers of the meeting are very clever gentle
men, but obscure public men, and have no preten-
sions whatever to be considered leading men in
their party.
We are neither surprised nor concerned at this
movement 1t is the "scotch'd snake" writhing
under the heel Of its destroyer. We may notice
this meeting more. at length hereafter.

A Good Exam pie.

An esteemed friend writes US from Stanly County,
that Mr.. Alexander Misenhimer and Brother, who
own mills in that County, and have good supply
of wheat on hand, are grinding it up and selling it.
to soldiers wives at Zen dollars per barrel, when
they could get thirty-two dollars for all they can
grind within sixteen miles of their mill. This is
practical patriotism. Honored be Alexander Mis-.
enhimer and his Brother, and their children and
children's children The poor soldiers whose wives
and little ones they are supplying with bread, will
hear Of this and bless them And when the battle
is joined again, joined it must BE- they will strike
With a stead,er arm and stouter heart, for they
will feel that they have some friends who remember
them, and who are caring for their families while
they are risking every thing for their country.
Our friend adds that the two gentlemen above re-
ferred to, were both Union up to Lincolns pro-
clamation.
Bad Example.
A correspondent informs US that on the 18th day
Of this month, in Catawba County, at an admins.
traitors sale BY E. Yount ESQ, administration, some
wheat put up in lots Of NO bushels each to &C.
commodate the poor women who were present. when
certain person bid against the women and bought
the wheat for speculationthus taking the bread out
of the mouths Of the poor. We are also informed
that this person who bid off the wheat owns share
in mill, and as soon as the exemption bill passed,
he discharged bis regular miller AND crept into the
mill himself in order to avoid the CONSUMPTION.
1t is useless to denounce such person as the one
above described. His hide is as thick as rhinoce-
ros, and his SOUL if he has any, cou easily waltz
in the skull of musquito -

The Destructives in the Legislature.

a member of the present Legislature, and . close

q member of the present Legislature, and close
and intelligent observer, says. ~
There but few set speeches made in either House.
during the session. and feel that we are safe IN
stating that at least twothds Of the time scent in pro-
tess debate, by the Destructive party who const
tuted than one-tkird of the members Tho De-
structve leaders Judge PERSON. and his followers, used
all The actous opposition that parliamentary tactics could
suggest to embartass and delay many Of the most impor
brought forward. And in every instaiee
where effort made uphold aud sustain the supre
macy of civil law and Constitutional freedom, over military
depOsm the whole party voted to supersede
civil law BY military rule; confirming what we have here
tofore said that civil liberty would not be safe In their
hands, , t-'r
The personal liberty bi which passed both Houses BY
large majorities will be found in the Patrtt TO- day
that men from civil life have been confined in dungeons
without chance of trial or an opportunity to show their
innocence for twelve months past"
The Patriot is strictly correct Short as the
two sessions were, much of the valuable time Of the
two Houses, and especially of the Commons, was
uselessy consumed by such members as Messrs.
Person. PEBBLES, and Cobb, in efforts to embarrass
the majority. Mr.. Shepherd, though acting for the
most part with these gentlemen, had the good sense
to avoid such conduct and the result was he enjoyed
more respect than any Destructive leader in the
House. By the way, Mr.. Person has not yet re-
deemed his pledge, made some tVO years SINCE to
spill the last drop of his blood in defence Of the
South Davis, and Crumpler, and Simonton, who
served with him in that Legislature cold in their
graves-but where is he? Practicing what he
preached "peaeeable secession" Mr.. PEBBLES, We
believe, holds an Insignificant Confederate Office,
which excuses him.

were detsined on this Road by unnecessary delays,
as we are satisfied that from the present permanent
condition Of the track and the perfectness of the
truckles, the time could have been made since by
information we were induced to believe we were
ahead Of time. Consequently the train was de-
layed at different stations, and working on slow
time by running backwards and forwards; in order
to kill tme and thus miss connection with the train
for Weldon. These facts we think important not

more especially that Of soldiers who are defending
