NEAR YICKsDURG, April 1.-THE quiet

North Carolina Contpmaoious.

We had hoped the Legislature Of
North Carolina would have reassembled
with more liberal and conciliatry views.
We know we have Confederate authori-
ties who have too little regard for the
feelings Of others but they are upon us,
and our all is at stake. We must, Tor the
present, bear and forbear our safety
demands it, We earnestly trust that the
North Carolina LEGISLATURE, in view Of
the vast interest dependent on harmOni-
Gus action, will do nothing TO bring the
State and Confederate authorities into
collision. However provoked, We have
no time aud can not afford TO wrangle
among ourselves now Let us postpone
personal and party grievances to another
and more distant day. The FIRST, the
great duty of every true Southron is to
put forth all his energies for the over
throw of our implaeable and barborous
enemy.
We assure our friends in North Caro-
lima that We, who sympathize with them
in the wrongs or sights they have re-
ceived, can not sympathize with them
in any measure that may tend to impair
the efforts of the common Government
for the common safety. The time will
come for the redress Of all domestic
grievances but till then, and while n
foreign foe is threatening us with sub
jugAtion, let us with united hearts and
hands, uphold the sacred cause. Erich

The Pnritana.

JEFP. DAVIS recently vented his spleen
upon the Puritans Of New England;
IA people whose ancestors Cromwell
had gathered from the boys and fens of
ireland and Scotland--a people whose
intolerance produced discord and trouble
wherever they went who prosecuted
Catholics, Episcopalians, and every other
sect who did not subscribe to their big
oted and contracted no,ions-who hung
witches, and did thousand other things
calculated TO make them forever mfa-
mOus.n
Now lot the Boston Post, a decidedly
Anti-Repeblican journal, speak word
in behalf Of representative Of CRoM-
WELLS party:
John Milton as patriot, a statesman,
aprose writer and poet, bears a charmed
name: indeed famous as the Paradise Lost
and Regained have made him as a Poet,
we have always believed that his claim
to-immortality as prose writer and
public man was quite as iudisputable.
There is an DESTINATIONS display of learn
ing, an absence of severe simplicity, and
a stately pomp, in his poetical compost
tions, which must detraet from their
merits as specimens of the finest order
Of poetry. He wrote, in prose, not so
much on philosophy and letters, strictly
80 called but he is about the most splen-
did specimen in the history of his own
or any time, of those who have brought
the learning Of the scholar to the vindi-
cation of the public liberties Of a people.
He is the best specimen in all history,
not excepting Cicero, of the union of the
Patriot and the man of Letters. He did
work with his pen on the printed page
answering 10 the service of Cromwell
with his sword in the field; without
which aid the cause of the Regicides
must have failed of success with the
better portion Of the British people. He
established the constitutional rights o.
an oppressed people to change their Ru.
lers, on q foundation which has remained
unbroken TO this hour by the attacks o.
tyrants and demagogues. He was Wig
or0us Republican, and was Secretary o
State under tho Protector. He helt
Charles | an outlaw and justified his ex
ecutioD; he must therefore share the obi
um of that crime with those who deem
ed that act a crime; he is also entitled T.
share in its glory, with those who hav
esteemed that deed the proudest conques
of people over monarch so arrogan
in his assumptions of prerogative as t
seek to make them slaves, instead O
freeborn subjects.

Compared with MILTON and CROMWELL
those noble champions of freedom, an
the deadly foes of freedom, how mea
and despicable appear such reptiles a

Civil Law in the South.

To those persons who contend that
there is more law in the seeded States
as under the Federal Government, we
commend the following extracts from
the late message of Governor VANCE of
North Carolina, State less disturbed by
the rebellion than any other:
"There is great danger of lawlessness
overrunning the land and in the great
abundance of military rulers and arbi-
trary authority, people are beginning to
forget that there is such thing in ex-
istence as civil LaiU, which is the master
OF us all. Though pre- eminently law
abiding people, our society is already be-
ginning to suffer serious detriment from
the violent and law defying tendencies
of the times. Murder, arson, disregard OF
obligations, oppression and injustice are more
common in some districts than they have
ever been known"
"There are confined in Salisbury by
/ the Confederate authorities a number OF
citizens of North Carolina arrested for
alleged political offences. How long they
are TO remain incarcerated no one can
say but those 'oho apprslendsd them What
their guilt really consists in | do not
know, but this much it becomes both
you and to know, in view of the oaths
we take upon entering into office, that Hsl
mere not arrested By lalefW process; as citi.
zens of North Caroline they are entitled
under the Constitution TO speedy tria
by jury of their peers, and to he con-
fronted 0y their accusers, / have laiC
their cases before his Excellency The
President Of the Confederate States, and
when his reply is received you will b,
informed thereof"

pepredations BY Morgan,s Men.

We received letter this morning from
the Postmaster at Glasgow, who Informs
us that twenty of Morgan's rebels made
their appearance on the banks OF the
Cumberland, opposite Burksville, Cum.
bsrland county, Kentucky, on Sunday
last, and destroyed the ferry boat there.
They left a message for Colonel VOL
ford TO the effect that he might do as he
wished on the north eide Of the Cumber-
land, but that the region south Of the
Cumberland belonged to them.
Clinton county, adjoining Cumberland,
on the Tennessee river, is overrun by the
rebels, and Hamilton commits frequent
depredations in Monroe county. In fact

The Richmond Eaqnirer grumbles grie-
vously over the reported Confederate
victories" in the South west. 1t says:
When the Southwestern army fights a
battle, we first hear that il has gained
one of the most stupendous victories on
record; that regiments from Mississippi,
Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, etc, have
exhibited an irresistible and superhuman
power unknown in history this side of
Sparta and Rome. As for the Generals,
they usually got all their clothes shot of,
and replaced them with a suit of glory.
The enemy is, of course simply annihi-
lated. Next day more dispatches come,
still very good, but not quite as good as
the first. The kilograms of the third day
are invariably such as TO make a mist, a
muddle, and fog OF the whole affair
But We are still assured that our troops
are victorious, and only after several days
more does the unpleasant truth leak out,
that they are not quite victorious, but
have, in fact, lost a little ground, after
gaining some very brilliant successes.

Two sharpers were arrested by the
police at the Louisville and Nashville de.
pot, on Thursday morning, while in the
act of leaving for this city. They had
100000 of base money with them. The
journal says;
"The notes seized purported TO be upon
the Free State Bank Of Washington and
the exploded Traders Bank Of Nashville.
The notes on the Traders Bank were
shinplasters Of the denominations of 20
and so cents, aud the plates are well en-
grayed, somewhat resembling the postal
currency. IL was the evident design Of
these shArpers to set up business in Nash
willie, and they had all the plans fixed TO
carry forward a heavy business line, but
the energy of Capt. StanoleG and the
acuteness Of our police thwarted their de.
signs.

A Maryland lLoyalist on an Ar.
mistice.


That excellent Union journal, the Bal
timore american, speaks thus of an ar
mistice:
"Let us have no 'armistice,' no truce
no Trojan horse;' as we value the life of
this great nationality as we value our
own liberties and those of our children /;
aud let every man be spurned as a. traitor,
as the intended betrayer OF his country,
who dares to talk of any other conclu-
sion to the war forced upon the loyal
States, than the submission and cOndign
punishment of the wretches who, despite
every prayer, would have it so. They
want peace; we know they want it; but
peace ON their terms, never. Cunning
they were in inveiglng their Sc ction into
the war; they exercised the cunning and
the cruelty, too, of fiends. But no cum
ming, no plotting, no miserable shallow
devices will serve TO rescue them from its
perils and its retributions; no offers,
however authorized, will avert the need
of submission. The war has continued
with varying success for nearly two
years; but all the lime bringing more
closely home TO them The punishment
they need. Let il continue two years
more, aye, ten or twenty Of them, before
the loyal ever consent to humiliating
terms let il never cease until their pun
ithment will be the example of every age
that is to come.

Democrats and Republicans talk more

A Rebellion Within a Rebellion

Governor BRowE, of Georgia, has issued
a proclamation which recites the follow
ing state Of affairs in Georgia:
"Reliable information having been re-
ceived by me that there is at present
very considerable number Of deserters
and stragglers from the military service
of the Confederate States within the
limits Of this State, who, having voun-
teered and entered the service, have in
gloriously abandoned their country's
flag aud their brave comrades in arms,
and it being represented that numbers
Of these deserters, encouraged by dis
loyal citizens in the mountains Of North
eastern Georgia, have associated them
selves together with arms in their hands,
and are now in rebellion against the au-
thority VI this State aud Confederate
States, robbing loyal citizens Of their
property aud threatening 10 burn their
dwellings and do other acts Of violence"

lofore voting for them united on Broad
head. But one ballot was taken to-day,
az follows: Broadhead 90, Brown AZ,
and Phelps 46. Phelps has written let
ter stating that he was not opposed to
gradual emancipation, which has given
rise TO the opinion that he and Brown
will be elected in caucus tonight.
Mr.. PHELPS has hitherto been regard

emancipation, is one Of the most signid-
