We cumberland the ConserUdtire establishment Of
this City is issuing ten thousand weekly papers for
distribution among the people. Some nine thousand
five hundred of these to be given away, as that
journal has not more than 6vs hundred weekly sub
scribers. We warn the people that their own mon
ey, or in other words money filchsd from them un-
Justly, IS being used to. o.inauence their votes The
Conservative was established and is sustained BY 9
few wealthy persons who are using it to keep them
selves in Office, so that they can live as they are
now doing on the State. "The patronage Of the
government is being brought into conflict with the
freedom of elections" in the most corrupt and
glaring manner. Much of the money thus used is
furnished by persons who have made large sums
by specuating by means of our Railroads, and by
running the blockade on the Advance and other
State steamers. Some of it is furnished, and the
publication of the Conservative superntended for
Gov. Vance by person on bis staff, who draws
large supplies from the State unjustly, and who
procures all his luxuries by running the blockade
On the State steamers, while the families of the
soldiers and the poor generally suffering for the
necessaries of life These horse teaches bleed the
children of the people on the battlefield toprctect
their property, and at the same time bleed the
treasury to pamper their own pride and selfishness
They dislike US because they know we would not
tolerate their corruption, and hence the vile and
desperate manner with which they assai US through
their hireling Editors But we defy these gentry.
The people with US the election on the 4th OF
next month will show. There is not money enough
in the world to brbe the people of North Carolina
against their own liberties. They can neither be
bought nor coerced.

1t seems to be very difficult If not impossible,
to obtain from official sources all the facts in rela-
ton to this system, now in full blast under Gov.
Vance. Col Russ, who denounced this system
two years ago before the people of Wake, and
who is IS much opposed to it under one Gov
ernor as another, has approached three Of Gov.
Vance's subordinates on the subject, with the
view Of obtaining full and accurate official infor-
nation; and he informs US that though he was
treated politely yet he has becn unable, with the
meagre information given him, 10 trace and ex-
pose this monstrous abuse as it should be. As
little as possible Of their dOings for the public eye
seems to be the instructions of Gov. Vance to his
snboTdinates. But we call on the people to mark
the fact, and to bear in mind, while thousands Of
women and children have not had bite Of meat
for months and are suffering even for bread, that
the shade officers who surround Gov. Vance are not
only allowed their salaries but they are permitted
to buy their -four, and bacon, and corn meal, and
sugar, and coffee, and rice, and candles and
the like at very low government prices, and
some Of them, it is said, are allowed to charge
for room rent IN their own houses and their horses
used BY them for their own private purposes,
are fed by the State This abuse was stopped
by Gov. Vance when he came into Office, at
our earnest suggestion, and as long as he res.
pected our advice the system Was not revived !;
but about the time he began to fall fully into the
arms Of the Destructiyes he revived it and it is
now going on with increased volume. The pretence
is that this system is in accordance with the Army
Regulations of the Confederate States; but this is
not true, for Congress has prohibited even warworn
Colonels from purchasing at government rates, and
they are required to 60 up with their men and
draw priVate's rations Only think of it such off,
GERS Speer, and Jordan, and Farbault and Faison
and Clarke, and others going up to draw their ra.
tons as privates, while Gov Vance's shade officers,
who have never smelt POWDER are allowed to pur-
chase every thing they want not only for them
selves but for their familiesI Will Gov Vance ex-
plain these things to the peopleI
In our next we shall take up this subject more
at length and thoroughly expose these abuses. 1t
is the opinion of many intelligent Conservatives,
who have had good opportunities to observe and
ascertain the facts that the administration Of Gov
Vance is the most corrupt and extravagant in the
Confederate States. For part, we fear there is
ground for this opinion. There is certainly much
room for the hand Of reform.

Two FACES 1t is now known, and has been
conclusively proved that about the time Gov Vance
wrote his letter.ro Mr.. Davis urging him to make
an effort FIR peace, not on accoun' Of peace ITSELF
but to quiet the "discontented" and disloyal" in
this State, he was endorsing DR.. Leach's j hnston
County resolutions which were the first to suggest
= Convention in this State. Gov. Vance has au-
thorized Of his subsidized organs to deny this
statement and to brand DR.. Leach's declaration
that he, the Governor, had endorsed his resolutions
as false but people about here, and the people
among whom DR.. Leach has been long known, feel
sure that Dr.. L. has told tho truth
This endorsation was given about the 1st of JAN
uary, 1854, and the impression prevailed up to
the 99d of February, when Gov. Vance delivered
his WilkesbOroughspeech that he was not hostile
to Convention. DR.. Leach spoke freely Of the
fact and stated it 70 the public in his "AppeLdix
to the Life and Times of Duncan K. McRae." But
it appears that on the 9th Of February, 1864, Gov
Vance wrote to President Davis that hundreds Of
good and true men, now acting with and possessing
the confidence of the party called Conservatives,
are at work against the dangerous movement for .
Convention" See his letter, page 100 Of the pam
Pnlet just issued from tue oId"~dT" oinCeI o"]iHeu
documents Accompanying the Governors Mes
sage" He promises the President in the same let
ter that he will stump the State GgGi"'t CO"Ven-
tion, and he commenced the business at Wilkes
borough on the 92i of February. What private
letters and promises passed between these two
functiouaries we have no means Of knowing; but
We know that Gov. Vance endorsed the Convention
movement about the lst of January, and that on
the 9th of February, he wrote an Official letter to
the President promising him that he would take the
stump against it as dangerous movement" p
One face to Dr. Leach and to the public and anoth-
or face to Mr. Davis Gov. Vance cannot get out Of
this dilemma by impeaching the veracity of Dr.
Leach. In attempting this he not only involves
himself in deeper trouble, but he nacts gross
wrong on a gentleman whose only fault is that he
has told the truth.

YANKEE RAID ON 0NsLow!-Gen Brogden, Comp
troller, has kindly furnished US with the following
letter for publication by which il will be seen that
very destructive and damaging raid has been
made on 0nsloW county. Gov. Vance ought to
visit that country to comfort his fellow citizens in
that section and receive the plaudits for his ef-
eient protection. Had he not backed down from
his own measure, the Ten Regiment Bill, in defer
ence to the authorities at Richmond not only the
people of Onslow but of the entire State might now
have had ten thousand veteran troops to protect
them from raids But Gov. Vance has yielded and
yielded and given up everything until he has no
men to resist with, and our railroads, county re-
cords and the private property of the people are
almost at the mercy of the enemy. We sympa-
thize with the people of 0nslow but we see no way
in which they are to get relief, at least for the
present-Progress.

A Foul CALUMSY on THE PEOPLE OF RALEIGH.-
We learn that report is in circulation in this and

Raleigh have been spiked, and that this was done
By our friends This report is without the shadow
