On Thursday the Yankee raiders who had cut the
Railroad between Petersburg and Weldon crossed over
the Appomattox at City Point, and swung round to
Petersburg coming to Swits Creek, within three
miles of that city. They easily driven of by the
local force. Naturally there considerable excite
ment in Petersburg;
The Richmond and Petersburg Reilroad had not
been seriously Injured but the presence of the euemy
force go near its ne rendered it impossible to
on it with safety and it was not attempted.
Different accounts state the enemy's force between
the railroad and the James River at anything from Is
to so thousand men, 1t is evident to US that their
force is much arger than we had hitherto supposed,
and we think the larger number although somewhat
aggerated, is nearest to the actual fact.
We should not be at ell surprised to learn that Gen.
JOHNSTON had fallen back from Dalton Why he should

we are lot prepared to say We do not pretend to be

that Gen JOHNSTON knows better than we do-that OF
course, means notbipg-but we assured that what
be does, he will do understaEdpgly and for the best,
and that he is confident of favourable result.

AN ARMY BSEF CONTRACTOR.
The life of Old Badly, nglorious and brief,
Was en( led I'm told, by surfeit Of beef,
With h 8 countrymens coin the dinner was bought
Old Bs Idly, invited, ate more than they ought;
30 the Devil come up, with many nice bows,
And ! .ook him down home TO attend to his cows.
Old Old Satan, beware For the herdsmau you've got
MI steal all your catte--then poison your pot;
NC' your fine widow aud seize on your sceptre
au your dark realm and laugh loud your spectre
&C. If coin you would keep, quite safely do lock it,
Or soon twill be found in BaIdy's tight pocket;
And Proserpine guard, or he'll win her soft love
But one thing III grant-be'n De'er take her above.
30 feed well with pitch this Contractor in Chief
And purge well with birthstone to cure him of beef.

Mr. W. W. HOLDEN has resumed the publication
of the Standard and blows his own brazan nstru-
ment.
As matter Of course he signalzas his regular ap-
roarance-how many irregular ones he has made we
do not pretend to say, by personality and abuse-in
one word, by Modernism.
Among other things he devotes some space to an at
tempt ID revive personal matter between Col. D. K
MCRAE ard the Editor of the Journal. AS that is a
purely private matter between the persons involved and
SO understood, Of course it is a matter to which NO
gentleman could or would have made any referenoe,-
That ac however the further fact that it is not
legitimate subject OF newspaper discussion, does not at
oil preclude it from coming within the range of the
Standards animadversions, neither Of these condi
lions apply to that paper or its editor.
matter that has been fully understood and adjusted
between Col. NCRAE and ourselves is one that CON-
mon courtesy, as we'll as common serespect forbids us
to aude to farther than TO say that the three last
words of the third paragrphthe second loaded one of
the Standards article under notice. apply fully to
the Standards statement of the afair in question
1t is hardly probable that either this humble ndiyd
ual or ColoD. K. MCRAE will ever seek an endorse
ment recognition of any Of their qualities from the
editor of the Standard speaking cathe3ra, e. from
under Gov. VANCEs bsd
The editor of the Standard can settle his difficulties
as best suits him, with Gov VANCE or with the editor
of the Salisbury Watchman. That is has business not
ours. He as O candidate for the high Office OF Cover
nor, may continue to make his paper the organ of per-
sonal utilization with that or with him We can have
no further concern, and simply dismiss the subject by
asking the pardon of readers for having devoted
even limited space in cur columns to anything that Mr.
HOLDEN could Say against US personally.
