Santa Claus.

Happy old Santa Clans laughed outright
when he saw that the weather was fine,
az shall have" said he, E" such glorious night
For my travels through town, with the stars bright
And the moon In her very best shine
50 he slung his bundle Of toys on his back,
And very broad back had he:
He had candies and dolls and tops in his pack,
With many notion and queer jumping jack,
Such load as you never did see
And GU. shrou Oh the snow, all hearty and hale,
With rollcking stride he goes
He looked, by the light Of the moonbeams pale,
Like stout little ship skudding under SAIL
And the steam il came out of his nose!
Cold and keen blew the sharp cutting air
And piled up the snow in his road
The wind whisted shr through his frost powdered hal
And tilted his sack, but he did not care,
For he knew he could master his load.
But now he began to look round for he fslt
He coming quite TO his work
The frost on his brow was beginning te melt,
And besides, he sure IT sssoke that he smek,
So he hitched up his load with jerk
" Aha II, /" said he there's chimney topi'
And as quick as the words could dow,
Up went he with a bound and hop,
And down through the chimney he went with drop,
And stood on the hearth below
" And now" whispered he, al must have peepi"
And his eyes flashed bright little rayi
/" All right" said he, they're fast asleep
So be filed up the stockings and took leap
And again was upon his wayl
Thus down all the chimneys he went with his toys
And len them at every house;
Some for the girls and some for the boys, 81
But nobody heard him, he made no noise,
But went IL as still "a mousei

equal of the white man-to rob the master of h
rightful property-to emancpate the slaves against
positive State enactments-to destroy all hope of
civil liberty in the South and make to Lincoln and
the world the humiliating confession that we are
incapable of defending our property or our free.
DOM" If we were an enemy to the Confederate
cause, or an enemy to slavery, We should hail this
measure with joy, snd advocate it as the best and
surest means of destroying both.
We do not hesitate to say, that in our humble
opinion the recent speech of President Davis at Ma
con- Georgia. and these resolutions of the Governors,
however we'll intended, have inflicted more serious
blow on the Confederate cause than the capture of
Atlanta by Sherman.
But we have no heart to dwell upon the thoughts
which this proposition suggests. Reason seems to
have fled to british beasts"
We now say to the people Of this State that a
great deal, for veal or woe, will depend upon the
action of our Legislature soon to assemble. We
beg the people of all the Counties to confer freely
with their members, and put them fully in posses
sion of their views and wishes. 1t will be too late
to complain after measures have been adopted of
a character dangerous and exhauSting to the last
degree. 1t was the boast of the opponents Of a
Convention, last summer that the Legislature
could do all that Convention could to protect and
advance the States interests; let US see If that
body will prove itself equal to the great emergency

accept even the dark destiny which Mr.. Boyce pre-
diets, an unmtigated military despotism created by
0urseLUes, for "Our masters then would, still, at
least be our countrymen."
RssOLUed, That if it be true, as is necessarily
implied in the argument Of Mr.. Boyce, that we
have become involved in senseless and hopeless

reap the destruction of our liberties, then in omit

The meeting was addressed by Mr.. Boyce, Hon.
j. D. Tresdwell, and others.
Columbia is one of the hotbeds of Confederate pa
tronage and power, and no other result could have
been expected If Mr.. Boyce is a great man, as we
think he is, he will stand erect and breast this
storm. If those who took part in this meeting as
denouncers of Mr. BOyce are in earnest let them
show it by shOuldering their muskets and march

Detailed Men in Georgia.

We learn from the Georgia papers that the mill
tia of that State reporting for duty, Their fur
loughs granted after the fall Of Atlanta having ex
pired. 1t will be by the following extract from
a recent order of Gen. Smith, that the detailed
men in Georgia belong to the militia, and that by
an understanding with the Confederate authorities
they not to be sent forward to the regular army
but are to be retained in the State troops
"In accordance with previous understanding
with the Confederate authorities, all detailed men
who were on duty with the militia of this State, are
required to report for duty again in this command
All detailed men, therefore, who in the militia
service who fail to report within ten days after the
publication of this order, will be published de-
serters and treated accordingly"
Gov. Brown took the ground, and very properly,
that Congress had no constitutional power to detail
the farmers and mechanics of Georgia, and thus
place them in service while engaged in their voca-
tionS subject to be ordered at any moment to the
feld and some two months since, when he order
ed his militia into service, he required all the men
thus detailed by the Confederate government to
take their places in the ranks as State troops. In
| this way some SIX to eight thousand men are thus
put on occasional duty, and when not in the field
militia they can be at their homes attending to
their business. Whata blessing such a course would
have been, if it had been pursued in this State!-
As it is the last of detailed men has been
ordered to the trenches with prospect of return
ing to aid in the pursuits Of the farm and the work
shop. But is poor old North Carolina who is called
on to do and to suffer and authorities, because
! they are so required by the central government
apply even the bones of our people to the grind
stone until they are worn to the marrow. Four
years ago it was treason to say word against
State rights, but now it is treason to demand jus
tice for our State. The pretended friends Of the
States have shown themselves their wOrs enemies.
Gov. Brown is practical State rights He is
true to the cause, but he is truer he should be-
to his own State. We wish We could say the same
for other Governors.

Our Terms.
RALEIGH: TUESDAY, OCT. IS, 1864.
Mr.. BoYce,s Letter.

The demand is so great among our people for Mr.
Beyces letter to the President that lay it again
before our readers to day We also publish the re-
solutions recently adopted by the meeting in Co.
lumbia in relation to Mr. Boyce and his views; and
we shall publish in our next the speech of Mr.
Boyce made at the meeting referred to.
1t is noteworthy fact in the history of the times
that the subject of reconstruction has been freely
discussed in public meeting at the capital of the
State OF South. Carolina and that Mr.. Boyce, one
of the representatives in Congress from that State
who is charged whether truly or not with taVorlng
reconstruction, is not denounced either as traitor
or as insncere in the uttersnce of his views. How
ever we may differ with the great body of the pub
lie men of South Carolina we free to confess
that they gentlemen, and therefore incapable OF
countenancing or encouraging mob law or violence
against any citizen on account of honest express
sion of opinion, however obnoxious or dangerous
in their judgment that opinion may be- Mr.. Boyce
has had fair hearing at Columbia, and we predict
that he will have an equally fair hearing before his
constituents generally.
The Columbia South Cdrolinian is pleased, in
one of its articles in relation to Mr. Bovces views
to speak of the Holdens in the Confederacy," and
to call us "the avowed submiSsionist of North
Carolina" The South Carolinidn does US great
injustice We are neither a submssonist nor
reconstructionst We aoere submissonlst up
to the proclamation OF Mr. Lincoln in April,
1861 and if the leading public men of South
Carolina had been submissonists as we were, the
probability is that we should have escaped this
bloody and wasting war. We are now in favor OF
fighting and talking for peace at the same time.
This has been our position for more than year
past, and events almost constantly occurring but
serve to strengthen US in this position. We cor
daily endorse the letter of Mr.. Boyce; and we
trust that this stone will "smite the image" OF
Moloch, and "become great mountain" and I'LL
tie whole land with its saving influence.

The Standard asks
"What will the Observer say when we inform it,
as we now do, that Gov Vance, in a conversation a
few dayssince with some gentlemen on the streets
of Raleigh spoke in terms of warm commendatiOn
of Mr. Boyce'S etter?'
The ObssrUer says it does not believe Gov. Vance
did any such thing. Gov. Vance may have spoken
of the ability with which Mr.. BOyce advocated his
proposition, and he may favor Convention of all
the States, for consultation, and without any power
to commit the sections the States Mr. Stephens
proposes; but t"at he spoke in terms Of COM
nendatiOn, warm or otherwise, of Mr.. Bnyce's re,
construction views do not believe-indeed are
perfectly sure that he did not.-Fdy Obserrer.
The Observer must not change the issue. What
wesaid we repeat to w.t. that Gov. Vance in public
conversation on the streets of Raleigh, "spoke in
terms of warm commendatiOn of Mr.. Boyces let.
ter" We did not say that Gov Vance had endorsed
reconstruction views We presume Gov. Vance
will not deny our statement, but if he should, we
have no doubt We obtain statements from q
couple Of gentlemen of high character sustaining US
in what we have said.
The Observer admits that Gov. Vance may be in
favor Of Convention of all the States Can that
be possible Why, that is the ground ice took in
july 1868, when We called for mutual co operation
between the States North and South" as the only
probable mode by which peace could be secured
We were denounced for taking this position, first
By the Obssrcer and secondly by Gov Vance; but
now it appears that Gov Vance "may favor a Con-
venton of all the States and if Gov. Vance favors
it, Of course the O6serucr does also. When will
