Conflict Of Authorities.

We regret to see It announced, as by au-
thority, that the Confederate Government or
military commanders in this State, intend to
disregard the decisions of the North Carroll
ma Judges, whereby citizens have been dis
charged from arrest under a writ of hdbeos
corpus, because they had furnished substi-
tutes that had been accepted by the govern
ment. Gov. Vance has determined, very
justly and wisely, we think, to resist this
innovation upon the judicial rights of the
State, and has caused the Adjutant General
of the State to issue an order on the subject,
as follows: .....
militia officers are ordered not to arrest
any mar as a conscript or deserter, who may
have been discharged under a writ of habeas
corpus, tried before any Judge of the Supreme
or Superior Courts of this State. They are
further ordered to resist any such arrest up
on the part of any person, not authorized by
the legal order or process of a Court or Judge
having jurisdiction Of such case"
Gov. Vance has shown himself, ON all oc-
GASEOUS to be most anxious to prevent any
conflict between the State and Confederate
authorities, and he has exerted all the power
At his command TO return ~recusant soldiers
tons or factions motives can be imputed to
him for the course he has taken. He may
even doubt the correctness of the decisions
of the Judges, but it is. his bounden duty to
see that these decisions are respected and en-
forced, unless reversed by a higher tribunal.
If the Confederate Government has failed to
provide a tribunal for testing such decisions,
it is not his fault.
We trust the Confederate government has
not taken, and will not take the position cal
culated to bring about a collision with our
State authorities but should it do so, it is
the duty Of Gov. Vance, and we know he
will fearlessly perform it, to see that the de-
cisions of our Judges are duly regarded and
fully enforced. l.,

~ The officers composing Gen Van
7Dorn's staff are out in a card, Indignantly de-
nying the charge that he was slain by DR..
Peters on account ola criminal intimacy with
his wife, or his daughter. They say:
Gen. Van Dorm had never seen the daugh-
ter of his murderer but once while his ac-
ouaintance with Mrs. Peters was SUCH as to
convince US, his staff officers, who had every
Iopportunity of knowing, that there was no
improper intimacy between them and for ouI
Iown part, we are led to believe that there
,Esewere other and darker motives, from the fact
that DR.. Peters had taken the path of allegi-
gncgto the United States Government, while
6 Ne are informed ~ refugees from that CT
Ny that he had remarked in Columbia,
Short time before, THAT he had lost his Ian,
and negroes IN Arkansas, but he thought h
would shortly do something which would ge
them back = and finally, that having before
hand torn d2wn fences and prepared relay
ofhorses, he made his escape across the coun
try direct to the enemy's lires.
We hope this is the truth concerning thi
unfortunate affair. Gen. Van Dorm was
gallant and able officer, and has been tn
hero Of some of the most brilliant events {
the war; and it is a shame that his sun shout
n set behind so dark a cloud as the one hereto
fore alleged, if he be indeed innocent.

GREENSBORO FEMALE CoLLRGE.-The Com.
mencement exercises of this excellent Insti-
tuition came off last week. A correspondent
of the N. @. Christian Advocate speaks in
the very highest terms of the exercises by
the young ladies, the Sermon before the grad
uating class by Rev. DR.. Doggett, and of the
Literary Address by Rev. A. w. Mangum.-
He says of this Address.-"It was beautiful
in expression, rich in imagery and Impress
i've in delivery. The soul of the speaker
seemed to dissolve itself in radiant thought
and antithetical language" Dir. Malngum
is a young man of fine genius, an eloquent
preacher, and an humble, unpresuming chris
tan laborer. We look upon him as one of
the first among the many promising young
men of the Conference. There were about
$40 matriculates entered in Greensboro
Female Collegelast session. Others applied,
but there was no room for more.

Revive and Keep Up the Divisions.

heslVe anu Aeep Up the UIVlslons:
1t will be seen by the abstract Of Proceed-4
ings published in another column, that tho
Grand Division has SO changed the ConstiN
tuition that Lady Visitors can hold Offices iii
Subordinate Divisions, and that boys Of ~
years of age can be received as members
Ibis change has been made for the two-fold
object, We presume, of securing the moro
active cooperation of the, Ladies, as well as
to enable the Divisions to be differed, whicl1
it was difficult, and in some instances imposf
sibie to do, owing to so many of the malet
members being absent, in the army. We
hope this timely and proper change will have
the effect of enlisting the Ladies more gencr
ally and actively in behalf Of the great and
good cause and that the boys will besoughss
after and encouraged to unite with the Divi-I
siors. With these two useful and infuentia
J classes. warmly and earnestly engaged in re-
viving and keeping up Divisions, We see mol
obstacle in the way to a return to days Of
prosperity and usefulness for the Order.
! There are no two classes Of persons whose
interests, for time and eternity, are more in
timately interested in the Temperance cause
Woman has always been the greatest sufferer
from intemperance, and her dearest hopes.
and those of her posterity, are identified with
the prevalence of temperance and sobiiety ii
the land. While the boys, here schoeledand
" 49,.
trained in the principles Of total ABSTINENCE,
receive those impressions and convictions that
ensure lives Of usefulness and honor, when
the moderate drinker and those who praise
the "inaoeent' pleasures of the fascinating
wine cup, They learn in the Division room
how fallacIous and dangerous are such per.
suasions, and they are able to combat them
with arguments and reasonings that must
overwhelm those who endeayor to seducs
them from the paths of virtue and sobriety.
Let US all, then, exert all our powers to get
all the Ladies and Youths to become associ.
ated with the Divisions.
But while we are doing this, let the men
who from age or other causes are left II
home, let them give something more of thcis

A correspondent of the Richmond Dispach,
writing from Fredericksburg on the 22st says:
The Portland daily press., 1863-12-02

A PAIR OF BULLs-We wish it to be dis
tinctly understood that the Press was not on
spree yesterday, nor was its editor at all
mnddled, though lie did, with his own hand,
perpetrate two gross blunders. One was in
saying that Congress was to assemble to-day,
the first Wednesday in Dec. That august
national managere opens its annual show on
the first Monday in Dec, which this year will
be Dec. It'll. In writing the paragraph for
yesterdays paper, we simply COMPOUNDED the
day Of the neck with the day on which our
legislature assemblies, and did not notice the
mistake till it was too late to change the types.
The other blunder was the paragraph in
relation to the War meeting at the CITY Hall.
On Monday we heard that a war meeting was
to be held the next day evening, and coming
to the office after midnight, were told by the
night foreman that we were requested to d.
rect attention to the eall for such meeting.
then in type, and We penned the notice under
the impression as 10 time that we had pre-
viously received, not knowing that the ar
rangement at first contemplated had been
changed. So much for pair Of bulls which
found their way into our columns. We pro-
test that neither blunder should be attributed
to the influence of the ST. Andrew festival,
which we had been attending, and which was
the occasion Of our late hours, for at that sup
per all the sentiments were baptised with pure
cold water

NEW LIBERTY. VA, Nov. 10th, 1868.
At a meeting of the Officers of the 10Th
regiment of Maine Volunteer Infantry, the
following Preamble and Resolutions were
adopted
Uhereos, II has seemed good to wise and mys-
ferrous Providence again to require All Offering from
our number upon the Altar of our nations freedom
ana 10 take from us our brother officers Can't s
Z. Whitehouse and Capt. o. Ii. Lowell therefore,
Resofred, That in this last event we recognize the
hand of Him, who doeth all things well" and that
while we are deeply and painfully sensible of the
loss we have sustained yet we can realize that our
loss is their gain, and that they have only term.
mated useful and valuable career EARTH to reap
land.
Resoh ed, That il is imperative duty we owe 10
their memories to recognize the moral aud Christian
like virtues which ever pervaded their characters
that we cannot appreciate too highly the manly and
genial qualities which were ever displayed in
their intercourse not only with their more intimate
associates but with all who were brought in contact
with theni that our highest admiratio is called
forth by the patriotic devotion to our country's
cause which always marked their sojourn in our
midst, and which finally eliminated in an honorable
death, upon the battlefield at Gettysburg, where
they fell brayely fighting to repel the invader from
loyal soil:and that will strive TO emulate their
virtues, conscious that thus we may secure to
selves pleasing and profitable life, which will en-
dure not only through the scenes of Earth but be-
yond the veil Of Death.
ResOlrcd, That while realize fully our own loss
in this dispensation of Providence, cannot be
unmindful that there others, to whom our de.
ceased brother officers connected by nearer and
dear'r ties, and upon whom this bereavement has
fallen with heavier weight, and that TO them in
this their hour of deep affection, we extend our
wirnest and most heartfelt sympathies.

evening at the City Hall. 1t is time that
every heart was alive TO the demands of the
hour, and that every man in whose veins
flows loyal blood should show himself The
county calls for men. The tide of victory is
with us, and the hopes and hearts of the peo-
pie are full of encouragement. Those who
now enlist are likely to be in at the closing
up of this gigantic rebellion. Never was there
such chances for heroism and glory. Rebel
lion will die hard, and be savage in its death
throes, but the Government has got it by the
throat, and its end draweth near and the doom
of those who still uphold it is sure and ire
vocable. Let the Hall be. crowded tonight.

The washington Tyrant and Despot.

Who has not witnessed the holy horror ex-
emplifed by portion of the Press at the al
legged usurpations and contemplated despotism
of one Abraham Lincoln, who now tyranizes
over the American people, and seems never so
well pleased and self-satisfied as when curtail-
Ing the privileges and interfering with the
constitutional rights of Mr.. Jefferson Davis
out the independence OF the South, and to
achieve their liberty-liberty to make negro
slavery more sacred than, and superior to, the
natural rights of Man! Who has not read the
patriotic protests issued by rebel sympathi-
sers, against Mr. Lincoln proclaiming himself
a Life Dictator, and performing one OF those
little French tricks by which Louis Napoleon
east his presidential robes and came out
fully developed and full feathered Imperial
Sovereign! The Warsaw New Yorker has
looked into this alleged contemplated usurpa-
ton of "Old Abe,s by which the heretofore
honest rail-splitter is to become the headsman
of American Liberty, and with his big broad
ak to chop off the head Of the Goddess"
and in response to the statement that the
President is about to declare his admins
tratioR perpetual, exclaims:
Ny HES that's nothing; it is reported that
Mr. Lincoln not only intends to be Emperor
for the next two hundred years, but that he
will issue decree that all babies under fifteen
years OF age shall be drowned, so that his
youngest shall have no competitor for the
next Presidency He will also soon set Wash
ington on fire, and play on jewsharp from
Arlington Heights, that he may know how
Nero felt when fiddling over burning Rome
Its also reported that he will shortly order
draft of one young and handsome female girl
from every household in the land, and organ
lie haren, a la Turk. The rye crop OF the
entire West will also be seized to make whis-
key for this despot. Mrs. Lincoln is to wear
bells on her toes, and have Copperhead
brought In on platter at each evening enter
iainment when she dances before the cabinet.
Domestic peace is the plea for these
projects
