AMERICA.-It has been our almost invariable
rule TO treat with contempt the mendacions asser-
lions OF the Federal Government and its hired ad
v"cates and spies in this country At the request
OF some friends we consent to make an exception
IN reference to the reported detection of North
carolina from the Confederate States Suffice it
to say .hat the genius Of Yankeedom never forged
more unniitgated falsehood 1t is pretended
that Governor Vance, despairing of the success of
the South, is DESTROYS of reunion. We have be-
fore letter from Governor Vance to the agent
of North Carolina in this country, dated Raleigh.
July 10th, 1868, and from which we are permit
ted to make the following extracts:-
"The resources of our State and the Confederacv
have developed in such degree that we have
every assurance of being able to cothe our troops
with our own goods, and our vast amount of can
lures has given us abundance of arms:
The fall Of Vicksburg, though creating some de-
spondency, has not discouraged us.
On the whole our prospects are better than they
were this time last year Our people are adapting
themselves to a state Of war; our resources de-
veloping wonderfully, our army is becoming vete-
and invincible, and our crop prospects, with
the harvest already in, almost exceed belief"

TO THE VOTERS
9Th Congressional District of N C.

respectfully myself to you as a candidate
for reelection
BY your kind partially have the no, OF seat in
the First Congress of the Confederate States SFrom
the time of my election the COnfederacy has been
ga ged stupendous for the Purpose of driving
back the invaders of its SOIL and establishing
the peace independence to which it justly en-
titled Overtures having been repeatedly made oJ our
Government to terminate hostlites and settle the ex-
listing difficulties by negotiation and honorable adJdst-
ment and these overtures having been as OFTEN IN
dignantly rejected, alternative remained to as but
to drive back the invaders and conquer peace oy
force of arms.
While in Congress- therefore your representative,
used every exertion in my power to strengthen and
increase the army, give proper assistance and en-
the Executive and to prevent as far as
possible those disastrous collisions between the civil
and the military authorities which are so apt to occur
and so difficult to adjust in time of war.
voted for both Conscrpton acts, not because de-
sired to force the Southern citizen from his home and
family the camp and the battlefield but because
considered them indispensable to the independence OF
the country.
voted to raise the pay of the non-commssioned
officers and privates in the army because | believed
that they both deserved and needed it.
voted against the Exemption acts, not because /
was opposed to all exemptions, but because 1 con-
sidered these wrong in principle, dangerous In
policy and unjus. in many of their Determinations
| voted for the Funding bill, because thought it
necessary diminish the volume Of the currency and
thereby give healthy action to the finances oil
the country
| voted for the Tax-b of the House, which re-
which is the present law for action in the
House | was called away by affection in my family
and hence had no opportunity to vote either Tor or
| against that measure
| In fne voted for every measure which thought
would give strength army vigor to the Govern
ment and confidence to the country.
Should you endorse my course as your representa-
tive bv re- election Congress, shall be guided by
the same principles and policy which my record in
dicates and shall devote my best energies and atteu-
ton to secure YOUR interests: and, although desire
Ono and hall nae
honorable to obtain it, yet will consent to no
adjustment which does not bring with it the indepen
dence of the Confederate States their total separation
from the United States aud all the blessings of liberty
to which we are entitled by inheritance and for which
we are now contending.
Our cause is just. Our trust is in God. Our desti-
n.y. firmly believe, is to be victorious ia this struggle
and to enjoy a glorious beyond parallel in all
mast history. Let prove ourselves worthy OF our
cause and worthy of our destiny. Let US but De
united in orr efforts, and the Whole world combined
cannot ensave u.s.

THE HARvEsT.-The Sumter g. CO. Watch
man, of the 10Th inst, in noticing the harvest in
that District says: "The harvest now being gather
ed in this District is truly plenteous. Provisions
must be abundant, and we see why any
should suffer, unless there is wretched management
somewhere. The corn crops are unusually large;
the sugar cane has turned out well, and thousands
of gallons Of syrup are being made. Potatoes,
rice, peas, &C., have been made ~ large quantities
Where, then, is the ground for dependency: Cur
armies are victorious in the field; the enemy has
been foiled and driven back; the crops are abun-
dant. Let the people praise the Lord of the har-
vest; and let them practice those gracss which He
commands, one toward another Let those who
have, share their abundance with those who have
not Let the dark spirit of extortion take its
lasting departure from our midst and let the smiles
of plenty illunine even the faces of the poor.

FROM LoUIslANA.-A correspondent states
that Gen. Tom Green has the Mississippi river as
etiectually blockaded at Morganza, La, as it ever
at Vicksburg; in fact it is more so, for up to
the date of his last dispatches no boat has run his
blockade since his battery erected The
Yankees sheIled his force for several hours few
days since, but he securely protected that
rot one Of his men suffered. He has now planted
his battery, and SO effective is it, that he turns
back every gunboat or transport that attempts to
pass up or down the river

Meade can truthfully say that General Lee has
broken up his (Meade's) winter quarters; for from
Culpeper to Bristow the Yaskees had constructed
their huts and cabins. And here at Bristow they
had torn down an elegant house to get the
weather boarding to construct huts for the winter
occupation. -.
1t is certainly true that Meade has managed his
retreat most orderly and that he has saved his
stores. and lost but few men. Though think 1T
equally true that the Yankee army is considerably
scared.
The country people hereabouts are loud in their
praises of Mosby. They say that he has done the
Yankees great harm, besides compelling the enc
