The Progress publishes the following extract
from letter written by gentleman Of high stand
ing in Henderson County:
81 received yours of the 18th with bundle Of
papers and pamphlets and was glad to get them,
too, for they came on the heels Of Vances speech
here. 1t is the general talk that his speech here
was the poorest effort that any man who ever ex.
pected to be Governor, much less one who is Gov.
ernor, ever made. say it was the poorest speech
L ever heard. The audience never cheered him the
first time with all his low.Aung anecdotes and
comparisons. HIS speech was all through made
up Of abuse Of Holden and yourself lie said Hol.
: den was a cowardly dog-he had seen him jump
paling fences and run down back streets when his
person was in danger and that you were great
big, nasty, greasy, cowardly dog. He seemed to be
partial to the word dog for he had alusion to that
animal several times in his speech"
Our amiable Chief Magistrate seems to be losing
his temper, and we should not be surprised if be
were to lose his election Indeed, the prospect of
the latter no doubt accounts for the former We
would respectfully suggest to our distinguished
competitor that he might at least "fall with dig.
nity." And that

REPORT OF TIE SALT CoxN1ss1oNER-We publish
today the report of the State Salt Commissioner to
the Governor, showing the operations of the works
under him. 1t will be seen that these works have
made saving to the people Of the State Of nearly
seven hundred thousand dollars in the price of
salt
The order Of Gen. Whiting, addressedeso the
Commissioner, to break up the works below Will.
mington and remove them to some other point, was
most extraordinary. Gen. Whiting has nothing to
do with these works. He had just as much right
to order the removal of the two Asylums from
Raleigh. Of course Gov Vance has protested
against this order; but Gen. Whiting has shown a
want of respect for him and for the State by ad-
dressing the Commissioner directly and not through
him. Mr. Worth is State officer, and as such is
subject to no direct order from Confederate Gen
eral

From its source to its terminus he wanders along the
fountain Of learning gathering the pearls Of truth

The lecture of Mr. Dawson is characterized by
gentleness and courtesy throughout His purposes
IS not by anathema to still deeper wound the alict-
ed, but by persuasion to teach each and all alike
the duties which they owe, in this struggle to
country and to God. Whatever evils may exist
he does not believe are to be ersdicated by ,itupe
ration, but On the other hand by gentle and loving
words Unlike most lecturers and speakers, he
fails to see in the speculator that Unsuitable vampire
whose only thirst is the last drop Of his unfortunate
victims blood. In them, he beholds many noble ex.
ceptions such as contribute magnanimously Of their
gam to the needy and distressed he finds in the
possessor Of fortune accumulated before the war,
who still persstently holds on to his Golfers, a far
worse enemy to society and the country than in

KentuckY S0ldiera.

Col. Andrew H. H. Dawson, of Mobile, Ala,
himself native of Kentucky, will deliver lecture
at eight o'clock on Monday evening next, in the
Commons Hall, on "National Honor" for the ben
eft of the sick and wounded soldiers from Kentucky
in the Confederate service. It affords us pleasure
to commend this lecture warmly to the patronage
Of our citizens. The Kentucky soldier, when woun-
ded or taken sick, is thrown into cheerless hos.
pital, and left to depend on bis monthly pay for
means to purchase those comforts which he ought
to have. He has left home and friends to fight in
the cause of the South and these noble heroes,
when wounded or sick, should 6nd grateful friends
in every portion of the Confederate States. They
have no home which they can call their own. We
trust our people, and especially those Of them who
are able to contribute, will show by their conduct
that they feel generous sympathy for the wants
and suerings of these noble men, who have left all
and perilled all in common cause OF the lecture
itself we find the following notice in the Atlanta
Receille:
"Mn DAwsoNs LEcrURs.-A lecture on . sub.
iect like National Honor" is not apt to attract
the curiosity Of the populace hence, the audience
that greeted the lecturer at the Atheneum on last
evening" although very large, was cOuPoseu VI tno
more refined and elegant circles of Atlanta society.
We will not attempt more than passing notice of
tho lecture of this gentlemen, which in point of
merit, in classic diction and elegance, to be duly
appreciated needs to be heard The object of these
lectures is to raise funds for the benefit Of the
Kentucky soldiers who although cut off from every
home defence, are nobly struggling, side by side,
with the soldiers Of fortunate States for the
establishment of our liberty and Independence
These lectures conducted under the auspices Of
local aid societies, through whom the proceeds are
transferred to the Kentucky Relief Association.
The lecturer, instead Of being beneficiary, de-
trays his own individual expenses, through desire
to labor for the common good The motive Of his
action certainly deserves all praise, and we doubt
not, it will meet with warm response in every
Southern heart. As we said, it is not our purpose
to enter into review of the lecture. This voald
be impossible in the brief space and time Allotted
US. Suffice 1t to say that the lecture is teemipg
with pearls Of knowledge and w:sdem-gloying
with beautiful thoughts and iapcies which are the
result of much reflection, deep esesrch and mind
of high intellectual endoxm;snts. Like the eagle
that deigns to rest on rau t bene th the mountsSn

Principle is every thing-men are nothing. A
man of principle is not changed by every wind Of
doctrine. He steadies himself by the anchor of
principle as a vessel is held by its anchor in .
storm. See the man who processes to belong to one
party and yet is embraced by and serves another
party. Trust him not. His fine speeches are in
tended only to deceive. Judge him by bis acts and
by the company he keeps. 1t is easy to talk, and
loud professions cost nothing. Let US adhere to
principle, whatever may become of men. Men die,
but principles are immortal. Men are often faith
less and fall away from principle, but principle en-.

The RED STRING PARTY.-Our friends are taunted
by the Squads or Destructives with following the
sign of the red or scarlet string. We know notn.
ing of the scarlet string of secret political assoca

we believe that any such association of treasona.
BILE character exists in this State. This is one of
the thousand and one popgun charges started
against the " strait" Conservatives by Col. Duncan
Z. McRae for Gov. Vance. Two years ago Col.
McRae's party called Gov. Vance Lincoinite and
q traitor, and we presume Col. McRae did the
same; but now these partiz:ns hug him to their
bosoms and call US Lincolnite and traitor, ,-an6
when one charge and another charge against US fails
to stick in the public mind they launch others from
their poisoned implements until the very air is fill

ing US no hurt.
= No, we are guided in our steps by two entirely
different strings, to wit, the latch string, which
opens the doors of our friends and enables US to
enjoy their confidence; and the apron string, grid

If Col. McRae thinks there are traitors in this
