AN EXPEDITION under Col. Grower, sent out
from Decatur, Ala, June %, by Gen. r. s. Gran
ger, to surprise Patterson's brigade of Roddys
division, was partially successful. When near
the camp they were discovered by the rebel sur
geons who gave the alarm. The rebels broke
and ran, but the Eighteenth Michigan came in
on double-quick, killing and wounding num-
Der, and capturing one Lieutenant and nine men,
their wagons, ambulances, camp and garrison
equippage, officers baggage, and lot of mules.
Unfortunately our cavalry could not cross the
railroad lines in time to come up with the fleeing
rebels, or their entire command would have been
taken. The infantry marched fifty miles this
hot weather in thirty-six hours.

THE PRESIDENT, in accordance with the joint
resolution of Congress, has issued a proclama-
ton appointing the first Thursday of August
next day of humiliation and prayer for the
people of the United States, recommending them
to confess and repent of their manifold sins, and
implore the compassion and forgiveness of the
Almighty; and to pray, that if consistent with
His will, the existing Rebellion may be speedily
suppressed, and the supremacy of the Constitu-
ton and laws of the United States be established
throughout the States that the Rebels may lay
down their arms, and speedily return to their
allegiance; that they may not be utterly des-
troyed that the effusion of blood may be stayed,
and that amity and fraternity may be restored,
and peace established throughout our borders.

table sign that the Union sentiment is in the ascen.

Raleigh Register, July %, 1862.
The contest, then, is between the friends and
supporters Of the Confederate government and the
Holdenites, who are opposed to it-between the
friends of Southern independence and those who
ranked by the Yankees newspapers ss opposed to
it. If Col. Vance lends his name and influence to
such . movement he must be voted down. Every
vote cast for him is 4 vote for Holden, and vote
which is counted by the Yankees for the Union.

Keep it before the people, that Gov. Vance, who
was elected in 1862 by the Conservative party,
composed of the purest and best portions Of the
cd Wing and old Democratic parties, is striving to
disorganize and destroy the Conservative party by
appealing to the old Wings who are Conservatives
to vote for him, on the ground that he was once
Wing. To withdraw the old Wings from the Con.
ssrvatve party would be to destroy it, and secure
the ascendency in the State to the Destructives.
Keep it before the people, that the Conservatives
Of Wake County, who in 1862 held mass meeting
and nominated Gov. Vance and = ticket for the
Legislature, held another mass meeting on the 18th
Of May 1864, in Raleigh, and nominated their tick
ct for the Legislature, as they had done in 1862
and that Gov. Vance, through his friends in Wake
County, is opposing that ticket, and is seeking to
defeat it by ticket which WAS not nominated by
any public meeting, and which is supported rs the
true Conservative ticket by his organ the Conserea
