Public Meetings.


We had on hand when the mob assaied our
Office the manuscript proceedings of number of
public meetings and some of them were in type
and thrown into pi with other matter-among the
latter those of meeting held in Chatham County,
urging vigorous prosecution of the war. The mob
pulled our papers out Of our desk and scattered
them in ali directoas and in this way many of
tbeso proceedings, together with communications
various subjects, were lost. We shall give il,
our next a synopsis Of the proceedings of such
meetings as we could find among the scattered man.

We received a few days since the proceedings ofa
meeting held recently in Moore County, presided
over by Col John Morrison, at which some excellent
resolutions were passed; and we regret to say that
We have either mislaid these proceedings, or they
have oesn abstracted from our office. We put them
away in our copy. box and have since searched for
them in vain. We trust the Secretaries will be
good slough to prepare them again for publication.

The Latest Newss

Dates from Missionary Ridge to October 9th state
that the Confederate forces opened fire on Chatta-
nooga the day before from Lookout and other points
The enemy replied from various points The Ten
nessee river was rising rapidly This is all we have
from Chattanooga.
Northern dates to the 9th state that the army of
the Cumberland had been heavily reinforced, and
Rosecranz was expected soon to resume offensive
operations. On the 2stn the Oonfederates attacked
the right wing of Burnsde's army on its way to
Rosecranz, and were repulsed. The Confederate
cavalry had attacked the federals at McMinnville,
west of Chattanooga, indicating formidable flank
movement to cut RosecranZs line Of communica-
ton, and the fight was progressing. Result not
known.
The Baltimore Aascrican saws Wheeler's Confed-
crate cavalry were attacked at Anderson's Cross
Roads, forty miles, from Chattanooga and badly
whipped.
1t is also stated by the Chicago Journal that the
3d. 18th and 18th. army corps were on their way to
reinforce Rosecranz
1t is reported that Gen. Meade is falling back
from Cupepper Courthouse.

The Currency,

The currency is the life blood of the body polite
and the government is the heart. If the currency
fails the cause will fall Every friend of the cause
therefore, is deeply interested in sustaining the cur.
rency. The currency, or circulating medium of the
country, which is Confederate notes, enters in.
to every transaction of life As these notes decline
in value the prices of all articles advance; and
therefore, as general rule the higher the prices
the more worthless the money. :.
A plan has been proposed to improve the curren:
cy, and is urged by gentlemen or gentleman Of
experiences and ability in finance, which u.s. We
believe as follows: Let all the people, according to
their means, invest their Confederate notes in Con-
federate bonds to the extent of four hundred mil.
lions of dollars, and thus withdraw these four hun.
dred millions from circulation; the bonds referred
to not to be subject to taxation, so as to induce the
people to invest in them. -
The objections to this plan are first it is chmer-
ical 1t the notes are not sufficiently good to OBJ
tain the confidence Of the people, so to prevent
their continued depreciation, the bonds, issued by
the same government that issued the notes. will no
be regarded as much better than the notes. If the
investment D bonds is expected to be made on
grounds Of seanterest the expectation will be vain
for the same self.inrerest which refuses confidence
in the notes will erect itself as barrier to invest
ments ip the bonds Patriotism, and disposition to

THE WAR.

Public Speaking in Raleigh.

Capt Josiah Turner, Jr., and the Hon. A. h. Ar
rngton candidates for Congress in this District ad-
dressed large concourse in the Courthouse in this
place on Tuesday last. =
Mr.. Arlington led off and spoke for an hour, very
ingeniously defending himself and explaining his
votes as member of Congress. He told the peo-
YS-..at he va.ed against the titking law, and ad-
mtted that he voted for the exemption act coatain
ing the odious teenty negro exemption feature He
explained and defended this vote, and also the sub
stltute feature of the act.
Capt. Turner replied in one Of his best speeches,
which gave great satisfaction to his friends We do
not propose to attempt sketch of the discussion,
as our limits will not permit. Capt. Turner was
very severe and justly so On those ablebodied Sc
cessionsts who were instrumental in bringing on
the war; but who refuse to fight in it, and remain at
home to grow rich BY trading and speculathg, and
who are constantly sowing discOrd among the peo-
pie by denouncing the old Union nren as untrue to
the South. He promised the people that if elected
he would vote to materially modify the tithing law,
so as to make it operate only on those who may have
surplus Of prov isions after paying their taxes and
supportine their famies-that he would 'counte-
nance no uni ust discrimination between SHAREHOLDERS
and non-slave olders-that he would oppose secret
sessions-tba, he would do all in his power to sus-
tain our brave soldiers aad render them comforta-
ble-that he would insist on strict observance of
the Constitution and exert himself to maintain the
civil law against the usurpations of the military
power.
Mr. Arlington, it is we'll understood, is the can
didate of the Destructives. This is seen by the
manner in which he is taken up by the Confederate
ofice-holdsts and the old party hacks of the De-
structive organization. On the other hand Capt.
Turner is Conservative, and will be supported as
such. We can speak from: personal observation
only Of Wake County, and We can confidently as
sure our friends that in our opinion, Capt. Turner
will carry Wake by an immense majority.
We we're glad to observe the courteous and good
humored manner in which the discussion con-
Quoted While the candidates were both pointed
and positive in the expression of their views and
while they were now and then very sharp on each
other, yet nothing was said to occasion unkind or
unpleasant feeling either between them or their
respective friends.
