YANKEE RAID on ONsLow.-Gen. Brogden, Comp
troller, has kindly furnished US with the following
letter for publication by which it will be that
q very destructive and damaging raid has been
made on Onslow. county. Gov. Vance ought to
visit that country, to comfort bis fellow citizens in
that section, and receive the plaudits for his e6s-
cisnt protection. Had be 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
welded 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 Onslow but we see no way
in which they are to get relief at least for the
present-Progress.
JACKSONVILLE June %, 1864.
DEAR SIR :-You will oblige me by sending soon

cutons &C., is carried off Or destroyed, and por.

We understand the Conservative establishment of
this City is issuing ten thousand weekly papers for
distribution among the people. Some nine thousand
five hundred of these are to be given away, as that
journal has not more than five hundred weekly sub
scribers. We warn the people that their own mon
ey, or in other words money filched from them M
Justly, IS being used to influence their votes The
Conservative was established and is sustained by
few wealthy persons, who are using it to keep them
selves in Office, so that they can live as they
now doing on the State. 1.-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 specializing by means of our Railroads, and by
running the blockade on the Advance and ether
State steamers. Some of it is furnished, and the
publication of the Conservative Is superntened for
Gov. Vance by person on his staff, whS draws
large supplies from tho State unjustly, smd who
procurss all his luxures by running the blockade
ON the State steamers, while the families Of tho
soldiers and the poor generally are suffering for tho
nccessaries Of life. These horseleaches bleed the
children of the people on the battlefield to psotees
their property, and at the same time bleed the
treasury to pamper their own pride and selishness
They dislike US because they know We would not
tolerate their corruption, and hence the vile and
desperate manner with which they assail us through
their hirelng Editors. But we defy these gentry:
The people are with US as the election on the 4thG
next month will show. There is not money enough
in the world to bride the people Of North Caroln
against their own liberties, They can neither b 8
bought NOR eQsreed. II .

The ssallfsasrate sy.tem.

It seems to be very difficult if not impossible,
to obtain frem 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.
Vances 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 been unable with the
meagre information given him, to 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
subordinates 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 permitted
to buy their -four, snd2 bacon, and corn meal, aud
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 no res.
pected our advice the system was not revived
but about tho time he began to fall fully into the
arms of the Destructives 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
Colonies from purchasing at government rates. and
they are required to go up with their men and
draw prvates 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 privates, while Gov Vances shade officers,
who have never smelt powder, allowed to pur-
chase every thing they want not only for them
selves but for their families! Will Gov Vance ex-
plain these things to the people!
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.-It is now known and has been
conclusivey proved, that about the time Gov Vance
wrote his letter to Mr. Davis urging him to make
effort for peace, not on account of peace itself,
but to quiet the ''discontented' and disloyar in
this State he was endorsing Dr.. Leach's Johnston
County resolutions, which we're the first to suggest
a Convention in this State. Gov. Vance has au-
thorized one Of his subsidized organs to deny this
statement, and to brand DR.. Leachs 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 the truth.
This endorsation was given about the LIST of JAN
uary, 1864, and the impression prevailed up to
the ED of February, when Gov. Vance delivered
his Wilkesborough speech, that he was not hostile
to Convention. DR.. Leach spoke freely of the
fact and stated it to 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 q
COntSuLtOu. ScS hiS iSIeoiS PoSC AAo Va NV pau
phlet just issued from the Standard office, entitled
documents Accompanying the Governors Mes
sage" He promises the President in the same let
ter that he will stump the State against Conoe's-
ton, and he commenced the business at Wilkes
borough on the 22d of February. What prioate
letters and promises passed between these two
functionsries 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, be wrote On Official letter to
the President promising him that he would take the
stump against it as a dangerous movement"
One face to DR.. Leach and to the public, and anoth
or face to Mr. Davsl Gov. Vance cannot get out Of
this dilemma by impeaching the veracity of Dr..
Leach. In attempting this be not only involves
himself in deeper trouble, but he inflicts gross
wrong on , gentleman whose only fault is that he
has told the truth.
