that there had occurred IL Newbcrn within "a

STRAwS.-The Raleigh Standard is delighted
with the letter of Mr.. Boyce of South Carolina, in
favor of"a peace which reconciles the interests and
feelings the belligerents; peace, in short, which
restores harmony" OF course this means re-
StOratiOn OF the deSpiSed Uninn, which Mr. BOyce
and the StaR,'a?d okrd so hard 10 Destroy
Every manly feeling Of the South will spurn such
4 restoration as every drop of blood of her mar
tyred sons will cry out against t.-Fdy. Observer.
The Standard " worked hard" to save the Union,
not to destroy il. But for the course Of the Stan
dGrl in 1S61-G1, North Carolin: would in all pro-
liability have ranged herself along side the original
secession States. A large majority of the Demo
cratic party OF the State favored secession
count Of Lncoln's election, and the cid Wing
leaders despondcl and were about to give up the
contest, when the Standard rushed to the front,
displayed the banner of the Union, and at least
delayed the cltastophre from February to May,
1861. The OJserrer acted as an ally of the STAN
lard in the contest, and in that capacity did some
effective servi:c.
We have not at any time taken ground for the
restoration of the old government. We have pub
lish2d the letter cf Mr. Boyce, which proposes a
Convention Of all the States, and we repeat, we do
not perceive any other feasible or practicable mode
by which the war can he arrested ard peace restcr
ed to the whole country. We 90 not recall what
said in our last to wit that Mr.. Boyce's letter
seems to meet the almost universal approval Of our
citzers Ard what will the O5scrCsr say when
We inform it, as we now DO, that Gov. Vance
in a conversation q few days since with some gen.
tlcmen the streets oi Raleigh, spoke in terms Of
warm commeud4ton o! Mr. Blyce'S letter? Put
that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr. OJssrrer.

The L:nchburg Repujlicm, a strong administra-

The copperhead journals Of the North
won't see that Grant has gained any ad-
vantage oser Lee in the pressnt campaign.
They are fruitful in their invention Of
facts and fancies prejudical to the pros
poets OF Grant. Indeed, their authority
seems TO be the rebel papers Of Richmond,
which insist that Lee 10 pursuing Grant
all the time, although Grant has approach
ed nearer Richmond some twenty-five or
thirty miles.
Besides, the Northern traitor press are
anxious to make their readers believe that
Lee is receiving immense reinforcements,
and even pin their faith to the absurd
teleeraphic blunder that Breckenridge
has force Of from 40 900 to lOO,-
o0o."
The fact is, Grant has received some
&3. 900 fresh troops since his great battles,
and is stronger to day than on the day he
crossed the Rapidan while it is very clear
that Lee has been but slightly reinforced.
and is not as strong as he was at The first
encounter with Grant.

DEATH OF ma. GuppIrcs.

Hon. Joshua r. Giddipgs, our Consul.
General in Carada, dropped down dead in
Montreal on Friday night last, from the
effects of disease of the heart-a disease
from which be has suffered for many
years.
Our readers all know something of the
career of Mr.. Giddings, enough !. least
to be aware that be was in many respects
the foremost anti-slavery man in the Uni
ted States. His name will be handed
down TO posterity, linked with that of
John Quincy Adams, "the old man elo-
quent," through whose united, persever-
ing and fearless efforts the cause of Free
dom and free speech we're vindicated, and
ultimately became victorious in the Ameri-
can Congress.
Mr.. Giddings had reached his 69th
year, having been born in 1895.
