tce in the Sentinel of the sth as an indication that
disposition in this respect was properly appre-
ciated. But whatever may have been the assu-
RANGES received by Gov. Vance at Richmond, it is
now apparent that the administration will have no
truce with the Conservatives of North. Carolina
and that its purpose is by the use of its patronage
andpower, both in and out of the army, to destroy
the Standard newspaper and blast the character Of
its Editor. Well, if it must be so, we will.

The Condition of the Trans. Mi i.sts.ippi

The Condition of the Trans. N Mississippi.
The Asssissippian says: at seems from our tel.
egrams this morning that communication is not en-
trey cut off from the Trans Mississippi by the Fed.
eral occupation of Vicksburg and Port Hudson. The
report of the defeat of General Banks with the loss
OF SIX thousand men, is quite cheering if true Re-
ports from that region however, must te taken with
many grains Of allowance. We all remember even
when Vicksburg and Port Hudson belonged to us
how difficult it was to get the truth. Yet there is
nothing improbable or Impossible m the report that
the gallant Dick Taylor has been too much for the
UnionSlider. We sincerely hope that the report
is true and that is only the precursor of still more
brilliant and decisive victories
We believe in the invincbiity of the Trans Miss
issippi veterans. Cut off from all hope of succor
by the balance of the Confederacy, they know now
that they have to depend upon themselves alone !;
and when people fully understand this fact they are
apt to 60 to work in earnest 1t has been the bane
OF the Confederacy to indulge in dreams Of interven.

endurance which is necessary to secure their indie.
pendence.
If the Trans Mississippi people could only get rid
Of the imbecile Holmes, we should have strong
hopes of glorious achievements by them. With an
army OF sixty thousand already in the field, and
the capacity of swelling it up to hundred thou
sand, guided by competent leader, they can bid
defiance to three hundred thousand fLincolns hire

its army and people, 1t will make proud record

A PoL1TICAL PREAcHER-We learn that the Rev.
Samuel Pearce, of Hillsborough preached politi-
cal sermon at Orange Church, near Chapel Hill, on
Sunday last of the btterest character. He told the
people that the statement that the original seces-
sionists brought on the war, was lie; that Graham,
Berry, Holden and others, by voting to take North
Carolina out Of the Union, brought on the war;
that Holden was "buzzard, scoundrcl, and
traitor" &C., &c. His congregation, many Of
whom are readers Of the STANDARD, heard the ser.
mon, if sermon it may be called, aith the deepest
modification. This "wolf in sleeps clothing" had
been paid by :he congregation to preach the Cos
pei, but instead of that he preached politics. Mr..
Pearce has disgraced himself and injured the cause
of true religion as far as it was in his power to do
so in the neighborhood of Orange Church.

RETAL1ATIoN.-It is not little distressing to see
the spirit of cruelty and retaliation, an ofShoot of
barbarism, only fit for savages to indulge which is
fast growing out of this war. If the two govern
ments yield to the clamor of ungodly and wicked
men North and South, the war will not 20 ON six

any humanity, in making an innocent man pay the

wicked men and wicked nations, but can it be
justified before God? Let the blood of our innocent
men cry to God from the earth, and let Him avenge

troops may do in retaliation in the heat of battle,

great courage and galanry in the battle of Gettys
burg. An eye witness says that after all the color
bearers shot down he seized the flag of the reg

and waved the aag and again fell, having received
three wounds. Col. Leventhorpe spoke Of him in
the highest terms as an intelligent and gallant young
man, always cool, ready for duty, and kind and
good-humored in his disposition. Adjutant Lucas
was native Of Raleigh, the son Of Capt. W. A. Lu-
Gas, who removed with his family to Charlotte some

Martin was not qualified for the position he fills at
Kinston-and this seems to be the opinion of both
soldiers and people. A correspondent Of the Pro-
gress, writing from Kinston over the signature Of
"A-Soldier," says:
"Our army can produce no better bureau officer,
or soldier than the Brigadier General commanding
the District of North. Carolina; competent, sage,
having thorough knowledge Of bis profession, but
his best friends will claim no morel As field
commander, capable of availing himself of untried
resources and of mparting to his troops the conf
dence which be may feel in himself do not think
that either the public appreciation, or that shown
by the military authorities during the war will
prove him possessed Of Certainly not an officer or
soldier of his command but thinks that much could
be effected by judicious change.
We are willing to endeavor to avert the terrible
calamity that threatens US, but We demand leader
in whom we have confidence. Our wives and chill
dren nesting in the bosom of our native State, are
looking to US for protection; do not then, under
