NEVER GIVE UP.

NEVER GIVE UP.
From communication in the Greensboro Pa
trot we make the following extract. 1t shows that
there should be no dependency among southern
people and at the same tin. warns them of the
horrors of submission:
But what are reverses of the past two months
compared with those we sustained more than
wear ago in the fall of Donaldson,-cf Norfolk, of
New Orleans, of Newbern, of Nashville, of Men,
phis, of Hatteras, of Roanoke, and the defeat of
tIrittenden and Zolicoffer? And what have We to
apprehend when we recur to the history Of the
Revolution of '76 and see that Washington gained
only one signal victory during that seven years
war and that all his campaigns were conducted on
the Fabian policy, because of the overwhelming
numbers marching against him. The South has
no cause for alarm-such alarm would lead to
submission. The idea exists only in the brain of
these who are deluded and deceived-deceived by
the teachings of the Catanes of tie Confederacy.
IF the people Of the South fully estimate the i'm
potance Of success in this struggle, and then qu-
city fold their arms and submit, repeat no fate
is too hard-no shacklcs too heavy to secure them
in their bondage.
Who does not know the inevitable results of sub
mission to the armies of Abraham Lincoln! Will
these men whs have murdered fathers sons
and brothers by the thousands upon Thousands
who have outraged our daughters and insuted the
gray hairs of our mothers,-who have burned
down our houses and destroyed means of sub
sistence-wll they spare us when we fall PROSTATE
at their feet and sue for mercy? Who does not
know that towards cruelty, (and it is always
cessve,) is most sorely felt when his foe is dis
armed and no longer disposed to offer resistance?
No example in history that does not prove the
truth of this assertion. Look at Greece during
her 400 years of servitude under Turkish despo-
tism. But how insignificant the suffering of the
Greeks as compared with that in store for the
Southern people whenever they become the prey
OF Yankee domination.
GoLDsBoRo, n c., Aug. pa white woman
travelling in company with what seemed to be a
negro woman, who she represented to be her nurse,
arrested at Coward's Bridge, below Kinston,
Friday evening last. After the arrest the negro
woman was examined and proved to be stout,
bodied negro fellow. The woman and negro,
is said, are from the western part of this State,
hncolntor, from which place to towards
Bridge they had travelled without exciting sus-
picion. She went down the road from this place
last Wednesday evening and stated while here that
her husband was in Newbern and that she was
going to try to reach that place. The negro had
on frock, his head tied up with white hand
kerchef and one around his neck. The fugitives
were, understand, lodged in Jail at Kinston.--

A correspondent OF the raleigh journal says that
the negro gave his Bcn and stated that he be-
longed to Mr. Derr Of CASTOR county. The said
she was from Lincoln county and that her name was
Malinla Meadows 1t shows great negligence on the
part of Railroad officials allow negro to travel on
the road without being properly Identified
A HELL1sH OUTRAGE BY YANKEEs.-By
letter which reached this city yesterday from Wet
eel county, Va, we learn the particulars of most
revolving outrage committed by some yankee fends
upon the person of the wife of Mr J.. S. Hall,
member Of the State Legislature from Wetzel, and
one OF the first advocates of secession in his Sec
ton.
Mrs. Hall had her clothing tied over her head,
and in that condition she was thrust into the
street Of New Marketable, her husbands place Of
residence. Report says that an outrage, to which
death is preferable, perpetrated upon her per-
The yankee hell hounds afterwards burned |
down Mr. Halls OUT houses, and ransacked his
huusc.-RichmOnd Examiner. |
Any one who is willing to go back under yam
kee rule may make up their minds to have their
mothers, wives, sisters and daughters subjected to
all manner Of outrages by their brother yankees.
If they ready for this, let them continue the
cry for peace and union.
THE APATHY OF THE PEOPLE-There is an
apathy pervading country at this time, says
the COlumOla uafQlan, WntCn IS Iar moro appal- !
ing than all the hosts of our enemies What has
brought about this state or morbid Indifference we
know not unless the patriotism of the country has
been swallowed up by the spirit Speculation and
greed Of money which has taken possession of the
hearts Of our people aud spread itself like fatal
pestilence. Under the debasing influence Of this
passion, men who ought to be in the army, man
age to keep out, the labor necessary for the COM
plete defence of the metropolis is withheld, and
such high prices placed upon the products ne
cessary for the support of the country and the ar
my, that we are in danger of destroying the value
OF our currency and involving ourselves in uni
versal bankruptcy, at the very moment that the
enemy is laundering at our very doors. Fellow
countrymen! shall we continue to slumber on the
very verge of ruin? Shall We not be aroused to
our danger until the iron heel of the enemy is firm
ly planted upon our necks? This is no time for
patriotic man to be engaged in making fortune.
The man who is intent upon accommodating money
ia the moment of his country's agony, is unworthy
of the independence for which we struggling.
1t is time for to put aside our selfshness and
devote our lives, our property, our influence and
we have to the establishment of our
country's independence. Let this be done hearth
y promptly and universally, and every doubt
about our ultimate success vanishes at once.
YANKEE OUTRAGEs.-From Loudoun county

with greater fendishness than has heretofore
