NORTH CAROLINA STILL HALTING.-A
letter from the rebel Brig. Gen. Holmes,
picked up at Silver Spring, Nd, says OF
affairs in North Carolina:
Gov. Vance speaks in Morgantown
next Tuesday. / think he will be cleo.
ted governor. If Holden could be elect
ed ne would bring another war on US.
We would then have to fight not only
the Yankees, who threaten us on every
side, but domestic traitors, who are only
awaiting the signal 10 rise in open re-
volt against theconfsderate government.
Gov. Vance has not backbone enough,
and were it not for the free use Of the
military spur in his sides, the state OF
North Carolina would long ago have
gone over to the Yankees by default.
am ashamed to own it, but the majority
of North Caroiinians not IN the army ar
my are traitors to our cause.n
II confirmation of this statement it
is reported that North Carolina papers
give accounts Of the discovery OF a tea-
sonable organization in that state, with
forms, pass words and all the machinery

BEAUTIES OF REPUBLIcANIsM.--T is
now at Fort McClary, III our harbor, q
soldier who performs all the duties of a
private in the ranks, and guard, and
is not even clothed with the power of a
fourth corporal, who, in the event of the
death of President Lincoln would at
once become the COMMUNICATIVE chief OF
the army and navy of the United States.
And yet with this consciousness he is
willing to place himself in the position
of common soldier, share with them
in their messes, bear about his own mess
dipper, and reside in their barracks
This is the position OF Hon. Hannibal
Hamlin, vice-presideut Of the United
States, and private of company A, Of the
state guard OF Bangor. Such we hold
one Of the beauties Of republicanism-
hut it requires such sound men as Ham
lin thus to display The most beautiful
features of the simplicity OF our iDstitu-
Unconstitutional Journal.

CAPTURBs.-The Navy Department has
received information of the following
captures On the 8th inst, the United
States steamer SOnOma, Lieut-COmmand-
er Matthews, captured the side-wheel
steamer Ida which left Sapelo, S. c., the
night before, bound to Nassau. She had
81 bales of Upland cotton. The rebel
schooner PoCahontas was captured by
the U. S. steamers Avalon and Sweet
Brier, while she was attempting to pass
out of Charleston harbor bound to Mas
sau, with SO bales of cotton and 800
boxes of tobacco. A communication
has been received from Admiral Farra-
gut, announcing the destruction of the
blOckade-runner which was run on shore
on the night of the lst inst. by the U. s.
steamer Glasgow. The fire of our YES
sells having failed to destroy her. Flag
Lieut.. Watson volunteered to 90 in and
set her on fire. For this purpose, ne
was given three of the Hartfords and
one of the BrOoklyn's boats, which were
towed into position by the Metacomet
and Kennebec. The vessel was boarded,
set on fire, and rendered utterly useless.
The boats then retreated to their cover
ing vessels, and were towed off to the
feet. The whole affair was well man
aged and very credltable to Lieut.. Wat

The RAILROAD HEARRo.-The hearing
In the case between the first and second
bondholderSof the Rutland & Burling-
ton Railroad Company was closed on
Tuesday, at o'clock P. NJ, after elabo-
rate arguments by counsel, chiefly upon
the question as TO the power of Il. A.
Birchard, the remaining trustee, to an
point q successor to John w. Stewart,
who had resigned as trustee of the sec
ond mortgage bondholders. Chancellor
KELLOGG decided that by the terms of
the deed OF trust, the power of appoint
ment is vested in Mr. Birchard, and that
the only Office of the court was to either
confirm or reject the appointment. Up
on the announcement of the decision,
the counsel for the Railroad Co, and OF
the orators, who are the representatives
of the first mortgage bondholders, stat
ed to the Court that they had no person
al objections to urge against the appoint
ment of Hon. John B. Page, the ap-
pointee of Mr.. Orchard under the deed,
and they insisted upon only such purely
legal objections rs they might ultimately
be entitled to rely upon arising out OF
the adverse rights of their clients
Thereupon the Chancellor made an or
der accepting the resignation Of Mr.,
Stewart, and appointed Mr.. Page to the
vacant trusteeship, who, we understand,
yesterday entered upon the the duties OF
| his office
1t is due to Mr.. Page to say that the
responsibility of The great trust which
is thus devolved upon him, has come tC
him without personal solicitation, and
was urged by the entire class Of the
bondholders under the second mortgage
and large body of the bondholders un
der the first mortgage also, who signi
fled in writing their desire that h
should accept the office. Mr.. Page thu,
comes into the management Of the roaC
under the most favorable auspices, anC
in view Of ais well known capacity, in
tegrity and energy, a highly ellicien
conduct of the affairs of all concerned
in the property and interests of the rOat

CoPPERHRAD HEROES. The copper
head papers have few words Of praise
for the soldiers who are lighting the
battles of the Union, and lately they
have taken to clarifying peculiar style
of heroes of their own-the men who
kill or MAIN themselves, or run away to
Canada, to escape the draft. The great
est coward is the hero for copperhead
worship The Hartford Times devotes
a full column to these heroes. Some of
them jump from the cars at the risk of
breaking their useless necks, TO escape
the officers taking them to the 'front.'
A mother in Indiana burnt out the eyes
of her son to prevent his enlisting. A
drafted man in Delaware threw himself
before loaded team and had his ribs
smashed, preferring to die on his own
account rather than risk his life for his
country. Others have their front teeth
pulled; some cut off their fingers. A
Boston gentleman starved to death at
Hamilton, Canada, whittier he lad fed
to evade the draft, and Vermont boy
ran away and lived in the woods for
months for the same reason These are
the copperhead heroes, and Il very pref
ty show they make If they had lived
in more primitive times they would
have been transformed into eunuchs and
put into the kitchens and nurseries as
second help to the servant girls.

bgg' Let not farmers and gardeners
fail to sow abundant turnip seed this year
where other crops have failed on ac-
count of the drOuth, or the first crop has
been secured, Dig up the ground if it
be ever so small a place, and plant tur-
nip seed. There is sure to be pressing
demand for all kinds Of vegetables the
coming winter and q great many can
raise profitable crop OF turnips with
out ever knowing they cost anything
Turnips are good both for the table and
for stock, for the former purpose very
pleasantly taking the place of potatoes
with many, and if man should by any
chance raise more than he wants for his
own use, we will warrant him good
price and cash in hanG for all he wants
to sell. According to the old saying
Twenty fifth of July,
Sow your turniPs, wet or dry"
But the seed can be profltably sOwn as
late as the first week in August; and if
we have no rain before, it would prob
ably be better to wait, as no seed could
be expected to start with the ground
parched as at present. But when there
comes a shower don't forget the turnipS.
