Western Carolina Threatened ,

We make the following extract from letter from
highly intelligent friend, dated MorgantOn, July
II, 1864
"The Asheville stage came into Morganton yes
terday evening, and the driver reports that upon
the eve of the departure of the stage from Ashe-
vile, two couriers, one from the Warm Springs and
the other from Burnsyille, came into town aud re-
ported that the enemy were in force 5000 strong
at the former place. and 700 strong Cavalry at the
latter. give you the report as it was brought here
for what it is worth. Our citizens believe there is
a foundation for the rumor, but think that the num-
bers are exaggerated We, in this region, are IN a
very exposed unprotected and defenceless situation
Our fighting population have nearly all been taken
out Of the country, and in place Of them We now
have mounted men. II some.
thing is not done for this region of the State
our people may prepare to hear that it has passed
from our hands forever. Now or never is the time
to act It will be too late to lock the stable door
after the horses stolen Our people are cool
and calm, but very much depressed on account of
their situation. Cannot you Stir up the COnfeder-
ate and State authorities to sense of the exposed
condition of Western North Carelina?"
The situation of Western Carolina appeals trum-
pettongued to our authorities for protection and
relief 1t cannot be disguised that Asheville and
Morganton are constantly threatened Something
should be done to protect the people in that region
of tte State and the sooner it is done the better
Delay in this matter is certainly faught with

G,oDtv. utthe ticket on the other side, to wit,
Sion H. Rogers for the Senate, and William Laws,
TINS J. Utley, and Daniel G Fowle for the Com
mans. was not called for or nominated by any por-
foD Of the Conservatives in public meeting. but
,s brought out by the Destructives of the COun-
v and few prOlesSed Conservatives, the latter be,
N, composed for the most part of Stallfederates
,5out Raleigh.
This latter ticket, therefore, has no claims on the
Conservatives Of the County.
We trust the Conservatives Of the County will
I'll, en- mase around their candidates. Let them
,g,iD their own action in mass meeting, and let
h.nA as matter of principle, adhere to those who
rsnese1t their principles. The ticket headed by
Sa H. Rogers is a disorganizing concern, and can
triumph only by breaking down and destroying the
Conservative party of the County.

2 We copy the above from the Fayetteville 0bser-
Der. The " COntsderats ticket" m Cumberland and
Harnett rather the Destructive ticket is headed
BY z. B. Vance for Governor; and Gov. Vance is
thus assigned his appropriate place by the 06ser-
ceT, who knows Messrs. Mcdaniel, Mclean, Shep-
herd, and McDuffie to be DestructiVes of the most
radical stamp. In Cumberland and Harnett Gov,
Vance is supported as Confederate or Destructive,
but in Wake and others Counties he is supported
as Conservative. A face to suit everybody so as
to get votes, seems to be the rule by which the
Vanceites are governed.
Two years ago the O5ssrrsr supported Col. Vance
for Governor with reluctance, and seldom appealed
to its readers during the campaign to remember that
he was the Conservative candidate; but now, when
the Governor is leading the Destructive forces the
appeals Of the OJssrUer are both long and loud in
his behalf Then the Observer, according to its
own admission, was neither Conservative nor De-
structive, but noO it is Destructive paper of the
worst stamp. 1t has no claim 20 the confidence
OF the Conservative party. -.-.. -.'

Macmillan arrived in Mexico on the 18th, and
was met by cortege of 500 citizens on horse
back, and more than 200 carriages belonging to
the aristocratic families of the city.-ESchqnge
Paper.
Miserable Mexico After years of civil war the
masses Of her people are to be governed BY an
Emperor, forced upon them by foreign bsyonets
and the aristocracy of their own country. The
people of the North American States are tending
in the same direction. The yoke of some emperor
may now be in course of preparation for even the
present generation Who can tell We know that
the aristocracy of the Confederate States are long
ing for strong government and imperial rule We
sclernnly warn our people to be on their guard.
We beg them to keep :he most seepless eye upon
their public servants. We conjure them to cote at
all hazards, and to vote for true men, and not to
support for any Office those who apologize for the
cncroachments of deSpotic power. All power In
the Confederate States is in the hands of one man.
All power in the United States is in the hands
of one man. Coming events cast their shadows

We give to-day report of Gov. Vsnce's speech
at Salem, kindly furnished by friend The Gov.
ernOr said many things about in this speech
which are not true but it is useless for to
rect his misstatements, for he will repeat them
again and again. For example, he says we slapped
hlm on the shoulder on one occasion, and said
"Vsnce, all the fellows say want to run for Gov
ernor-they are liars" This is all pure, or rather
impure fiction. We never slap people on the
shoulder in this vulgar way, and never use such
language. -
The speech as reported-and no doubt it is cor
rectly reported-evnces neither craftsmanship nor
ability nor dignity, nor decency. But we drop the
curtain for the present Let the people read and
Judge for themselves. .. .-.s.
