with those who complain of his very retca,kaoia
declaration that two thirds Of the army arc away

OF encouraging The enemy, We think the statement
calculated to have the very opposite effect They
fancy that we have all our men in t e field, and
cannot raise any more to take their places The
President undeceives them. He shows them that
whilst whipping them with one third, there remain
two.thirds Of our fighting population as reserve
to fall back upon"
First, it is likely the President said one third !;
next if he said two-thirds, it was most encourag

HORRIBLE MuEDER-We learn on authority which
cannot he doubted, that most brutal murder was
committed, last week On the South side of Neuse,
on the bodies Of Mr.. Alfred Reel and his sister,
most respectable and loyal lady and gentleman of
that county:
In the absence Of Mr.. Reel his sister about thirty
pears old, and negro girl being the only persons
home, two negroes entered the premises, took all
the valuables including money, that they could OBJ
tain and then murdered Miss Reel Mr.. Reel com
ing up about this time, entered the yard, and was
instantly shot dead by these inhuman Monsters
What outrages the ficnds may have committed on
the lady, before taking her life we are not inform
ed but they may reasonably be inferred from their
brutal conduct Mr. Reel and his sister were loyal
Ceniederates of unblemished character, and were
both unmarried.-Goldsboro Journal.

Tolerate thus philosophers on the evils of the war;
This war has developed the accurscd depravity of
human nature In the South it has unmasked the
swndler the specuator the extortioner, in all their
hideous deformity. 1t has taught svarics to thirst
like vampire for the blood Of poverty. f has made
many forgetu of their obligations to God apd their
fellowman In the North it has emboldened the bar
lot to walk in the sphere of the pure the heauti-
ful, the Innocent. 1t has done away with the ne.
cessty of darkness to mantle the deeds of the mid.
night robber and assassin. 1t has fred the breast
ofthousands with the spirit of the first born "Can,"
prompting them to slay without cause and to mur-
der without provocation. 1t has induced vice to
brand virtue with its own shame, without the least
sembance truth. 1t has given sin two fold sway
over the passions Of men, causing them to baspheme
the good and pure. 1t has verified "man's inhr,-
manity to man." in a cruel disregard of humanity.
1t has developed corruption in high places, fraud
and rascaIty in low ones 1t has brought re proach
on the virtuous, wise and good 1t has unloosed
the hinges of society, and let forth the demons Of
murder and rapine to gloat upon the victims they
assail. In Short it has emboldened the devil to
come forth and assume possession, as if his reign
were already established.

Souabbiins over the SpOils.

It is known that the Confederate and C0nseTca
tive of this City, cordially united in the late pollt''
cal movement by which Gov. Vance was re elected
and the Legislature thrown into hoteh poteh. There
was no principle in this union-it was simply a
movement for the spos; and now, wheu tempo
rary success has crowned their efforts those Judases
who hold the bag a,e hot disposed to count out
fairly to the hungry allies who yelped and cried
with them in the chase. The Confederate of the
Sd October says:
"In its last issue the Conservative asks, "Has it
become an offence for any one to differ with Mr..
Davis, in the estimation of the Contedsrate =.
The vote Of thirty thousand Of President Davis
friends i'll The last election affords sufficient eg!denes
that they overlosk differences "with Mr. Daets
when duty requires. Where is it to be shown that
a difference scith Goo. Vance may be overlooked in
similar way? We think we hear the Conservative
answer, when some friend of Mr.. Davis Can be
found with whom Gov. Graham will sympathize On
all points"
And the Conseropt;ue of the 4th October replies,
and endeavors to show that these thirty thousand
votes were not polled for Gov. Vance; and that if
you subtract from Gsv Vance those votes that
were cast for him under protest, "t will leave but
small number who really voted for Gov. Vance
purely from a sense Of duty." Those of the orig
inals who votedfor him "purely from a sense of
duty" to their country, shall have something; but
those who voted for him "purely from sense of
duty" to themselves must remain out in the cold,
and suck the paw of nothngness for sustenance.-
Blessed are they expect nothing, for they shall
not be disappointed If those who voted for him
"purely from sense Of duty to thsmsslnes are to
get nothing, We fear that Col George Lttles wallet
of Stafederate rations will soon be empty; and in
that event nothing will be left to him but to vel
unteer, and, rushing into the ranks
"Foremsst fighting. fail"
But seriously, with what disgust and contempt
must the honest people of the State regard this
scramble for the spois! ~ am entitled to so and
so, because voted for Gov Vance" And the re-
ply is, O. Not so fast Mr.. Graspall We recognize
"a small number" who are entitled to something;
but the truth is, possession is nine of the
law, We do not know that We shall give any Of you
anything-and besides, we want it all ourselves" !"
