which were in reserve, Tone Brigade from each Di-
yison) have gone to the left, ON our front. The
usual amount Of skirmishing continues. We are
at the same place you left us and no prospect of
moving. Now that have told you the war news
l must tell you of dream had last night do
not know what made me dpam Of such thing but
as dreams are fashionable, presume l should not
be different from ohors, my dream is closely con
nected with that of Mr. NcDaids, enclose tit
you. On last night shortly after 1 went to bed, as
usual, soon fell asleep and reamod that Saint John
came to me- (I always believed that was closely
connected with st. John and asked ms if had
seen Mr. McDaid's dream. answered him by telling
him that had. lie then asked mo if 1 would Ike
to know who that Southern Warrior was thatwsuld
come to the eassistanco Of Gen. Johnston Itod him
that would. He then told me tho name of that
Coon was e. NJ. Richcson, Jr., young GooJcr
GraJicr, and that he would be assisted by Joe
Brown, as he was one ofhis Pets Attic time did
not think of your son, but am now satisfied your
son is tho Coon he had reference to. then asked
him how 1 would know what he told me was truth or
fiction lie told mo to go to Capt BosticI,s quar-
ters in the morning where 1 would get Flip (an
Egg Nog), aud on the way l would moet a tom cat
and as proof of what he told ne the cat w ould
have piece of paper in his mouth with the namcof
tho hero written on it. So this morning ! sortod
as directed and about half way to Boslicks quar-
ters 1 met the cat, who let fall piece of paper
which he carried in his mouth, and ran into tAe
woods and to my surprise found the following
written on the paper "Yomg eooJer GraJip.

For the truth Of the above, rolor yon to Nv But

Gen. Garfield and the 0SWade
and Davis PROTEST.,

Rumors have been industriously circu.
lated in this vicinity, within the last few
days, that Gen. Garfield was opposed tc
the present Administration. Gen. T. ].
McLain, one OF the delegates from thi.
Township, to the Congressional Convep
ton TO be held in this place today,
wrote TO him concerning the matter, and
has received al answer, stating that such
reports are un~qualifedly false.
1t was said that Gen. Garfield, in q
conversation held with Gov, Tod, on the
cars last week, had said that he endorsed
the Wade and Davis Protest. On Mon
day Gov. Tod was in this place. and sta
ted to Gen. McLAin that Gen. Garfield
had never expressed such a sentiment to
him.
We had no doubt, whatever, that
these rumors had no foundation in fact,
but we are glad to have this undoubted
authority, to put at rest reports which
were intended to defeat Gen. Garfield in
the Convention.
Unless prevented By the sickness of
his wife, who has been dangerously i'll,
Gen. Garfield will be present at the Con.
vention, and be ready to define his posi-
ton. If he is not able 10 be present it
will be made known by letter. if any del
egste desires it.

~"COercing q State.s'

Says the Richmond Examiner, backin
its of force by f~allacy:
Now, if North Carolina cease to be a
part of the Confederacy and become a
part of the federal Union, which is at
war with US, she thereby, on the instant,
declares war against the Confederacy.-
That a state did, in the middle of the
war. abandon her allies, deny her act,
eat her words, and join her enemies
against her friends, might be a brilliant
historical record in the future; but it
would not be peace; it would only be
the beginning of war. 1t is not to be
supposed that Virginia and South Caro-
lima would submit to be cut asunder by
the intervening country, if that country
should declare itself an enemy instead of
\ friend. They, of course would treat it
as an enemy; would make uncermonious
use of its railroads and short work of its
towns. We doInoe see that the old
North State Beutd gains much by recon.
h~erselfto Rhode Island and Mas
sachusetts, and declaring war against
South Carolina and Virginia"
These doctors of Richmond have no
scruples now about coercing aState, but
they lind, if We accepted their constitu-
tional theories, that we should be utterly
iisunitsd or kept in a state of perpetual
var.

The Ladies, National Covenant.

At a meeting of the Executive Com.
mittee o fthe Washington National Cove
nant, it was resolved to hold meetings on
the last Tuesdays of August, September
and October, for the purpose of commu-
nicating with each other and to the pub
lie all the information which they can OBJ
tain concerning the varieties of dress
goods manufactured in America, and the
corresponding Secretaries of the central
and auxiliary societies are reousted to
correspond with manufacturers for the
purpose of gaining information on this
subject.
With the present high terif and high
rate OF exchange il is believed that it will
not be difficult to induce American wo.
man to prefer American fabrics, and Amea-
lean merchants to remove the foreign
stamps from our own best manufactures.
And it is anticipated that united action
as recommended on the part of all the
covenant societies will greatly aid Amer
lean manufacturers in making their goods
known, while it will enable them 10
make in addition to their present fabrics
such other desirable goods as we have
hitherto ssnt abroad to obtsin.-Osveand

The Right Doctrine.

We subscribe to and endorse the follow.
ing from the New York Times:
ANY dealings with such vagabonds as
these self-constituted emissaries of JEFF.
Davis at Niagara, was peculiarly unfor-
tunste. No private man, of any self re-
spect, would recognize them, even if they
were not traitors. The leading spirits
were a trio of thieves, more d~espicable
than any in Sing Sing. Sanders stole
thirty thousand dollars in his naval agen.
cy OF this port; Tucker stole eighty thou.
sand dollars in the Liverpool Consulate;
Thompson eight hundred thousand in
Department of the Interior. These
facts belong to the historical record of
James Buchanan's Administration, and
are officially attested. The idea that
UGH fellows were to have a voice, d.
ectly or indirectly, in settling the sol.
mn issues of this struggle, was repug-

plored war between the TWO sections. as
"a policy detrimental to the civilized
world" The revolution, in the mean
time, has rapidly gathered strength. nor
only in moral power, but in the means of
war. Fort Moultrie and Castle Pincknev
