From the North-C Carolina Standard, Dec Is, 1851
We publish to day that portion of Mr.. Lincoln's
message which relates to the Confederate States.
We do so because we suppose our readers would
like to read it and judge for themselves. Without
entering into any argument in reply to any portion
of this document, we say that if Is the rebellion
we're in the condition which Mr. Lincoln claims,
which we by no means admit and if our people
were reduced to the painful necessity of reconstruct
ing the old government the terms Of such recon-
sruction as indicated by the oath proposed, would
be exceedingly repugnant to high spirited and gal
liant people. Terms of pardon based on an oath to
support certain acts of the federal Congress relating
to slaves, strike US as strange and absurd Terms
might be imposed with equal reason based on the
support of any other law. This it seems to us,
would be an abuse of the pardoDing power, even
conceding as we do not that we are rebels and ask
ing pardon.
Again, the assumption that one tenth of the peo-
pie Of State may shape the action of the State
question so vital in its character is opposed to the
fundamental principle of the right Of majority to
govern, and would, if carried into effect, Dad to
civil war among ourselves. We tell Mr.. lincoln
that the people of North Carolina may be overrun
and physically subdued but their honor and their
proud port as freemen they can never sacrifice
They will take no oaths which their State, in Con-
vention assembled, does rot require them to take
and whatever may happen, North Carolina will act
as State, by majority of her people, and thus
shape her own destiny. Her people would not rally
around tenth, to do any thing North Carolina
NAV be forced to walk through the valley of hu-
initiation, but she would do it in her own proud in
tegrity, with her garments unstained save by the
blood Of those who, presuming on their physical
might, would dishonor and degrade her.

800 women at work, number Of whom
we're burned and bruised in endes Scring
to get away.
The alarm was immediately given and
after the fire was extinguisbed q search
for bodies commenced. Eighteen bodies
have thus far been taken out Of the ruins
burned to crisp. 1t was impossible to
recognize them. Eight females were taken
out in sad condition and placed in the
hospital. The scene at the yard WAS Of
the most heart-Tending description. Th'

The news Of the late disaster at Gun
town, Mississippi, has thrown agloom over
that place, which not even the hope and
confidence entertained in the abilities Of
General A. J. Smith, who has gone out to

Sturges' army was composed Of some Of
the best troops in the West-veterans who
had fought through the Vicksburg cam
paign, and defended Banks army from
annihilation while on the retreat from
Alexandria.
1t is the universal testimony of officers
that our defeat is owing to the incOmps-
tency of General sturges, whose condition
untitled him for the position of cOmmsn-
der. As yet not voice has been heard
in his defence. The details Of the battle
show that our infantry, which composed
the bulk Of the expedition, were rushed
forward at double quick distance Of from
three to five miles, and when they encoun
tered the enemy we're unfit for action and
fell an easy prey to the rel els. The sO.-
diers feel strongly the disgrace Of this de-
feat and demand rigid inquiry into
the causes. Before this disaster, the guer
