AGAINST his OWN FRIENDs.-Mr. Harris Iysor,
of FAIR Haven, Moore County, gives notice through
the Fayetteville Observer that he is candidate for
the Senate in Moore and Montgomery; that he is
"against Lincoln, Holden and the Devil, Col. w.
B. Richardson, John Andrew Barrett" &c. Why,
Mr.. Tysor is against his own friends. We cannot
trust man who would turn upon his old friend,
the Devil Mr. Tysor says he challenged US last
September to 60 with him to the war. We did
not accept the chslenge for two reasons, first, be-
cause we felt sure Mr.. TysOr was only joking; and
secondly last September as the result of the teach
iugs of the State Journal the Raleigh Register,
the army Convention Mr.. Tysor and the Devil
parcel of Georgia troops were. engaged in making
war on US. We could not attend 10 them and the
Yankees at.the same time. ra.,, - 5-- =. -f b.
Mr.. Tysor and his friend Gov. Vance remind US
very much of the false teachers spoken of by St.
Peter in his Second Epistle, chapter I'd:
"Thesc are wells without water, clouds that are
carried with tempest to whom the mist OF dark
ness is reserved forever. For when they speak
great swelling words of vanity, they allure through
the lusts of the flesh, though much wantonness,
those that were clean escaped from them who live
in error While they promise them liberty, they
themselves are the servants Of corruption"

The greatest CONSERVATION prevailed at Frederick
on the afternoon Of the 9th, and there was regu-
lar stampede The insurgents being then near the
city. The force is estimated at 80, 600, and the
Washington Chronicle expresses The opinion that
it is gerry formidable.

On Thursday the greater part of the enery's de-
monstrations were made against our position in the
neighborhood of Green's Ferry Heavy musketrY
firing and cannonsding occurred during the day,
but no heavy movement was made by the enemy to
march on the position or take it by assault
sherman has sent large force to threaten our
lett and doubtless to divert our attention from other
and more important positions His movements
down the river in the direction of West Point can
not be very extensive safely made for the reason
that If an isolated force get away in that direction
too far from their depot OF supplies the railroad
they subject themselves to great privatons without
securing any advantages. Such force will doubt
less he broken up by our cavalry who are watching
their operations One object of the movement is
probably to destroy our railway line to West Point
The enemy have been surprisingly quiet along the
greater portion of our lines. Doubtless, they are
seeking for the most available position from which
to dig up to front again, and, if necessary, lay
siege regularly to our position. 1t seems to be q
determined policy with Sherman not to fight reg
u!ar battle, but to take this city by strategy and
merely outweghing US. Surely the turning point
must be nearly reached.-AtlGntG IntslIigencer,

The CoNrRAsT.-Hu Of white women in
this Stale have been brought to the plow by this
war. We conversed with one few days ago, who
has five sons and one son-in.law in the army, and
whose last boy had been taken from hers and she told
us she had plowed all her crop except piece OF
new ground, and she had appealed in vain to veal
thy Destructive in the neighborhoOd to have, it
plowed for her. .. ..,-.
The men in the war fighting the women plowing'
many of the children without sufficient supply of
bread, and no schooling, while Gov, Vance's shade
officers are living like lords, with every necessary
and luxury furnished them by the State. These
poor old women who are plowing must pay their
pittance of taxes-a great deal to them-to support

The FACT PROVED AGAN.-Our readers will bear
in mind that we have already shown, by the testi.
mony of Dr., Leach, that in January last Gov.
Vance approved his resolutions, which were the
first in the State to suggest Convention and the
record shows that about that time Gov Vance wrote
to President Davis asking him to aid him in sup.
pressing the "discontent in this State, &C.
casioned, as the Governor declared, by this very
Convention proposition. But we have other and
further proof. Our correspondent, "Ons Who
Heard" states emphaticalIy that on the goth of
February Gov. Vance, in the town of Taylorsville,
approved Mr.. Boges' Convention resolutions, and
layished high praise them as the very thing for
the times. Mr. Boyle made this statement in the
presenee of a number of persons in Wilkesborough,
on The 4th day of this month. II is also known
that on the 22d of thslsame month, at WHkesbor-
ough. Gov Vance denoaaeed Convention in the
most vehement terms and warned the people against
It, Rses are stubborn things.

Gov. Vance's friends VS.. Liberty.

OAaPSON OOUNTf, July D.
Mr. EDIroR:-I write you a few lines to let you
know how Gov. Vance's friends are trying to secure
votes for him. r. q. Holmes, ESQ.,, Chairman OF
the Court Of Simpson County, says that If one
Justice of the Peace votes for Mr.. Holden he will
issue a warrant against him He thinks he will
scare somebody, but don't think he will 1 shall
vote for Holden without something happens worse
than a warrant, and so will many others. Mr..
Holden will gain votes in Sampson until the cleo
ton. If we expect liberty we must vote for. Mr..
Holden. JUS rICE OF THE PEACE.
This is the way Vance and his unscrupulous De-
strucve supportes are trying to tyranize over the
people. Magistrates and Home Guard off GERS are
told if they vote for Vance all right, but if they
vote against him they are to be sent to the army.
Such corruption was never practiced, and such ty-
ranny never attempted before.-PrOgress.
All the red-m2uthed secessonists in Sampson
many Of them spectators and skukers from the war
are for Gov. Vance He is welcome to them. But
it seems Mr. Dick Holmes is putting on airs. We
tell that gentleman that neither fear regard
him, and that if he arrests or attempts to arrest
any one of our friends for voting for us, we will
have him prosecuted for false imprisonment. Issue
a warrant against man for voting as he pleaSes
Who ever heard the like before2 We trust the
honest people of Sampson will rise up and cast off
the latal lbHuenceS Oh tue OllntOn clique We Oe-
lieve they will do it "Still water runs deep
Let them be ready for the election, and when the
day comes let them IUork and cote. "Still as the
breeze, but dreadful az the Storm" Let our ene-
mics first feel our strength at the polls and hear
of it afterwards. What we say to our Sampson

Two years ago Mr.. Holmes was against Gov.

II Is supposed that General Wallace is there in force

A detachment Of our forces left Greeneastle at 8
o'clock this afternoon for Hsgerstovn, and the pre-
sumption is they have arrived there, although no
positiye information to that effect has been received
here owing to the prevalence Of a ttunder storm,
which temporarily interrupts teSegraphic eOninlu-
nication.
Through information derived from scouts in Ad
ans, York Franklin and Eslton counties, it is now
believed here that not solitary armed reoel is at
present within the borders Of our State.

was fully come, had gathered in, and safely housed the

The past history of Abraham Lincoln shows that

Legal Tender Notes and their Constitu-
tionaiity.

Some weeks since the District Court in Pha-
delphia had before it two cases in which the
constitutionality Of the act Of Congress of
February 25. 1862, making United States notes
a legal tender was involved. In one case the
party had offered legal tender notes in pay ment
of mortgage and the money was refused and
the party cited into court On Saturday Judges
Hare and Stroud delivered the majority opinion
of the court, affirming that the tender notes
were legal, inasmuch as Congress, under the
Constitution. giving power to regulate CON-
Ierce, had the authority to pass the act Of
February 25, 1852.
Judge Stroud, in his opinion, held that even
the authority granted in the Constitution to
declare war;" carried with it all the incidents
of such grant Of power; and IS money was
one of the most important eemen ts of strength.
the government must have the authority to
declare what shall pass legal tender. The
debates in the Convention which framed the
Constitution were referred to in support of the
views entertained by the majority OF the court.
