RALEIGH: TUESDAY. OCT. IL. 1864.
Mr.. Boyee's Letter.


We are under obligations to the Hon. w. w.
Boyce, one of the members of Congress from South
Carolina, for copy of his letter to President Davis
which we publish to day.
Many of our citizens will recollect Mr.. Boyce as
the same gentleman who addressed them in Var
borough's Hotel, in this City, in December, 1860,
advising secession from the Union on account
of the election of Mr.. Lincoln. Mr.. Boyce is a
bold, and his course has shown, honest states
man. After long and wasting war, which threat
ems in its progress and results to change radically
the character of our government and to destroy
liberty ITSELF he does not hesitate to forward
and advise those steps which in his judgment will
be the most potent to restore peace, with the pre-
servation of our free Institutions His letter is
of the ablest documents which the condition of the
country has elected. 1t seems to meet the almost
universal approval of our citizens. We trust ne
may be sustained by his constituents, and by his
gallant State, whose people, if mainly responsible
so far as the South is concerned for the present
condition of things, ought not to be the last to de-
wise means to improve that condition and to pro-
mote peace on an honorable basis.

Ours is not revolution. We were free and in
dependent people in States that had the right to
make better government when they saw ft-
President DluiS AuguItS Speech.
Still harping on the doctrine of secession at will
No such doctrine was ever held by Madison, or
jackson, or Polk or Wright or Douglas, or any of
the great lights of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Davis as the President of the whole people,
has no right to attempt to thrust his ultra secession
doctrines down the throatS of those who refuse to
accept them. vast majority Of the people of this
State, for example, never held so ridiculous or so
ruinous doctrine as that which asserts that the
States, under the old form of government had
right to secede land make a better government
when they saw fit" They have that right noto, in
theory, but let any one of them attempt to put it
in practice, aud they will soon find the sword of
Confederate power, welded by Mr.. Davis, waving
over their heads This is proved by the fact that
when it falsely charged that the people of this
State contemplated secession FROM the Confederate
government Mr.. Davis promised troops TO Gov.
Vance and Gov. Vance accepted them in advance,
TO be used to coerce North Carolina and whip her
back if she attempted to go out. Mr.. Davis, who
fights against coercion, would coerce; Mr.. Davis,
who glories in the right of secession as exercised
against the old government would not tolerate it
under the new. And Gov. Vance is the only Gov
who ever lived on this continent who has man
ifcSted disposition to coerce his own State What
exempars of States Rights
For proof of what we say we refer to the Cor
respondence between President Davis and Gov
Vance, published by order of the last Legislature
If "ours is not revolution" we should like to
know what is. If we should succeed in getting
away from the North it will be q revolution com
menced By acts Of secession; but if should fail
to get away it will be known in history as rebel
lion. That is the true, comm on sense view of the
whole subject.

A SrRAw.-A vote for the Presidency was taken
at the conValescent and ecruiting camp in Angus
ta, Maine, few days since. There were present
1900 soldiers and the result of the vote was 45O
for Lincoln and so for Mcclellan The Lincoln
men were no doubt promised furloughs, and the
Mcclellan men were told that if they voted for the
man of their choice they should have no furlOughs.
The Mcclellan men were also no doubt called trait
ors and enemies 10 the Union of the States. When
the election takes place in the army tho Mcclellan
men will have their tickets taken from them and
torn up, and they will be threatened with heavy
punishment if they vote as they wish to do. This
was the course adopted in the recent election for
Governor in this State and it worked admirably for
the party in power. A man who votes with the
party in power is perfectly free to do So but if ho
has mind or opinion of his own he is deprived of
his right of suffrage, and IS compelled to occupy the
situation Of white slave. 1t was in this way the
recent elections were carried in North Carolina
Surely the Lncontes are as smart as the Yanceites
and Davisites and this being the case there can he
no hope that Mcclellan will be elected.

Is RICHMOND TO BE SURRENDERED I'VE were
surprised and panied to see in the Confederate Of
Friday last, broad intimation that Richmond may
be surrendered to the enemy. The Confederate is
an ultra administration paper-its Senior Editor is
supposed to be in the confidence of the military au
thorities here and hence its statements on military
subjects are entitled to unusual weight. That pa
per thinks that eight thousand more troops from
this State, with what Virginia can add TO the army,
would save Richmond Does Richmond hang by
that slender thread?
We would regard the surrender or the capture OF
Richmond as supreme calamity to the Confederate
cause We fear the cause would not recover from
the shock, especially if Sherman should make good
his hold upon the State of Georgia. Experience
has shown the melancholy fact that every State
which has been overrun by the enemy has been
substantially subjugsted and the question at once
presents itself with fearful force, could North Caro-
lima and South Carolina alone Withstand the pres,
sure of federal arms, with Virginia and Georgia Civ
en- up to or held by the enemy3 Let the final
struggle, whether it is to end in victory or disas-
ter, be made at Richmond. Every hope, all thoughts
centre there; and the good wishes and the aid OF
every true Confederate must be directed to the
defence of Richmond Everything, in our humble
opinion, depends on holding Richmond

In the Presidents recent speech in Columbia he
said he had rn at tho foot Of that Poerless states
man, John G. Calhoun and learned from him what
the people of his State had learned; not to fling
away the substance to secure a shadow" Is not
this the very thing we Of the South have done! We
went to war on account Of slavery in the Terrific
ries and the danger now is that shall lose it in
the States. Instead of spreading slavery in the
Territories, many Southern STAKEHOLDER has been
forced, by the cruel and barbarous policy of our
enemies, to be shot at by, and to shoot down his
own slaves on the field of battle Oh that our
managing statesmen would get wisdom, or at least

WAKE SUPERIOR CoURT.-Judge Saunders, at the
late term Of Wake Superior Court refused to grant
Judgments when the plaintiff expressed his u1wil-
lngness to receive Confederate currency In the
case OF F-J. Haywood Us. A. Solomon, which was an
appeal from the summary proceeding allowed by a
recent statute to landlord against tenant refnSing
10 vacate, his Honor after verdict in favor of the
plaintiff ordered trial because the plaintiff in
structed the officers to demand specie for the recoVe
~, on the ground that the jury assessed the dam
ages IN Confederate currency This was the only civil
suit tried during the term The case of State o.
Beasly and others, Indictment for riot wherein the
State journal printing Office suffered injury, was
continued Conservative.
Judge Saunders is entitled to the commendation
OF every true SOutherner for his refusal to allow
judgments to be entered collecable in specie Con-
federate money is the life blood of the Confederacy
and he who refuses or discredits it. is no friend to
the Southern cause.
Our readers know that we are no apoIogist under
any circumstances for mob law but the mobbing Of
the State Journal was a prompt, if not proper re-
taliaton for the mobbing of the Standard Office by
some Georgia troops acting under orders. Gov.
Vance solemnly pledged himself at the time, in
letter to the Secretary Of War; that if he the Sec
retary, did not punish the officers who led in the
mob on the Standard office, he would demand them
of the Governor of Georgia, to be tried and punish
ed by our civil tribunals. If such a demand has
been made we have not heard of it. Gov. Vance
knows that President Davis was anxious, in Au-
gust 1868, to suppress the Standard newspaper by
torco. We think the Attorney General might very
properly, under the circumstances, enter a nolle
proseqai as to the persons indicted for mobbng the
Journal Office. 1t would be wrong to punish those
who mobbed one office, and not punish those who
mobbed the other.
