The Holden tickets is a darker and deeper color
than the Vance ticket; which is light pale chrome
yelloso.- Conservative.
The Holden tickets are nearly all white. At the
request of friends and as a means of protection to
some detailed men, we haye caused some Holden
tickets to be printed on buff and yellow paper
We should not have thought of this but for the dis
ingenious attempt of Gov Vance to evade the law
of the State which he is sworn to enforce in its let
ter and spirit with the view of spotting those who
may vote against him. A more unworthy trick
was never practiced by any man holding the Office
which he does. Whatever may be the result Of
this election, it will mark him as long as he lives,
not only an Executive officer who had no respect
for the law, but as a contemplate trickster. We
mean exactly what we say. The poor mercenaries
who surround him and do his bidding, may affect
to applaud him for the trick, and tell him he is
smart but even they, in their hearts, regard him
as any thing but Straightforward, manly, high
toned statesman.
But the Conservative is little ahead of time in
Its description of the tickets It affords US much
satisfaction to inform that paper that we procured
a number of slips of the Vance "light pale chrome
yellow" ticket and having torn off the blank paper
from the slips, we have had printed on them very
comfortable supply of Holden tickets of the afore
said very respectable and very rare !" light pale
chrome yellow" color. We trust Mr.. Hyman feels
better after this information.

TIE LAST CHANCE FOR PEAcE.-If Gov. Vance
should be reelected the last chance for peace will
have departed. Every vote for Vance is vote for
perpetual war. Elect him, and he will be jefferson
Davis, Junior, for the next two years. Every male
from l6 to 80 will be called out and placed in the
army The hqbeas corpus will be again suspended,
and civil liberty will exist only in the memories of
the people. Defeat him, and earnest, anxious,
persistent steps will be taken for peace and Gov.
Vance himself having been made to feel his depend
ence on the people, will act for the remainder of his
term with more moderation and justice than he has
sVnced of late Remember, there aoiI be no ground
nope for peace If Vance should be re elected.

that with some few honorable exceptions, every
Stalfederate and Confederate officer in this COM

the soldiers who vote here to day (Thursday) to
vote for Vance. Threats, persuasons, intimidation,
every thing is brought to bear these battle scar

ers at one of the Hospitals are going about with
Vance tickets stuck in their hats

FENCE MEN-This is no time to be on the fence
in politics The issue is Peace or Rar. Gov.
Vance is for both his speeches and organs prove
He is for war in one breath until very hot place
gets very cold and in the next he says he is the
strongest peace man in the State. Therefore, those
who may vote for him will effect nothing-they will
simply throw their votes away.

If you really think so, Mr.. Hyman, why did you
print those colored tickets for Gov Vance ? Was
it not to detect and punish those who might vote
a white ticket the presumption being that such
persons had voted against Gov. VanceH What hy-

We learn on the best authority that R. II. Bat
tie, jr, Private Secretary to Gov. Vance, has writ
ten to the Mayor of Morganton by direction Of the
Governor, stating that Mr.. A Collie, merchant
of London, with whom the State has had large
dealings had placed twenty thousand dollars at
the disposal of Gov Vance, to be by him distribu-
ted to the poor Of the State and that Gov. Vance
has concluded to distribute this fund among ga
te1O tOWns Of the State P' Morganton has been Sc
lected as Of his benefciaries, and the Mayor
has been requested to draw on Maj. Devereaux for
two thousand dollars to be distributed among the
poor of that town.
Why is it that &c few towns are thus selected
by Gov. Vance, to the neglect Of the different coun-
try neighborhoods of the State? The fund was
intended for the aOhOle State, not for particular To-
calities. 1t is true euery locality is OF less
in want, and this furnishes the strongest reason
why this fund should be distributed widely and
generally. Has the Governor right, either in
morals in law, to select ga few" favored
places in which to dispense this money! Why
did he not place it at the disposal of his own
County agents, or in the County treasures, to
be distributed by the County CourtsP De-
pend upon it such misdrection of this noble
charity looks badly. 1t looks as if the Governor
was afraid that he's connection with the fund would
not be sufficiently known in the County neighbor-
hoods before the election if he gave it out toSthe
Courts or the County agents. and so he gives it to
"a few towns" knowing that knowledge of the
gift would come at once to the town voters, and
thus aid in his reelection. But the answer of the
honest voter who has made up his mind, will be-
"Your money, and your charities, and your special
faEors perish with you; intend to vote as please
My right of suffrage is every thing to me and to
my family in this crisis, and though am suffering
for the necessaries of life yet gifts of money or
provisions cannot purchase my vote"

The Wilmington Journal is very much exercised
over an Extra from the Standard Office containing
tickets for Governor, and an explanation of the
rights of voters. The very article which is in
this Extra has appeared in the Editorial columns of
the Standard, word for word, but the Journal is
careful not to state this fact. The JOURNAL thinks
we " must prefer Abraham Lincoln to jefferson
Davis" We have as deep an interest in the Con-
federate government as the Journal has, and we
as hostile to Abraham Lincoln as any reasonable
man ought to be. If we lived in the United States
we would support and encourage such patriots as
Vallandigham and Pierce, and we would do all we
could to rescue the federal Constitution from the
grasp of those who would destroy it and the liber
ties of the people of that section. We believe in
Constitutional liberty without regard to sections
men. We can assure the Journal, ifsuch assurance
be necessary, that we are no jefferson Davis man.
and that we opposed to Mr.. Davis's administra-
ton because. we are attached to our government
and because we love justice and liberty. So far as
acts go the Journal is infinitely more Lincoln pa
per than the Standard for the Editor published the
laws of the United States under Lincoln, and ap-
piled for his pay for the same, while refused to
publish any Of the laws after his April proclama-
ton, and applied for no pay for what had already
published "The tree is known by its fruits"

The New York Tri6uns ian abolition paper) says
that the people of North Carolina anxious to
get back into the Union. The Tribune has been
deceived by the grumblers, fault finders and croak
ers Hence the North continues to make war upon
us.-Chdr. DemscrGt.
There are no croakers, fault finders, or grumblers
against the government. Our people claim the right
as free people to discuss the measures of the ad-
ministration, not for factious purposes, but with
the view of reforming and improving the admins
tration. Nothing is said and nothing is written in
this State against the government of the Confeder-
ate States When bad laws are passed it is the
duty of the people to grumbie; when those who
have been appointed to execute the laws oppress
the people it must be expected that fault will be
found with their conduct and when the truth in
relation to our condition is asked for and looked for
by the people, it ought to be told, no matter what
may be said about croakers.
No, the North has been deceived and continues
to make war upon US, because such journals as the
Confederate and Conservative constantly assur-
ing the Northern people and the world that large
portion of our people are untrue TO the South and
desirious of reconstructing the old government.-
See they say, the Confederate which publishes the
laws of the Confederate States, and the COnserDG-
tiUc the organ of Gov. Vance-see, they say, both
these journals speaking for the two administrations
solemnly declare that powerful party exists in
North Carolina favorable to US. There must be
something in it. If this party was small these ul
ira Confederates would keep the fact of its exis-
tence 10 themselves, and would labor quietly to
press it; but this party must be Formidable aDd
even dangerous to the Confederacnfor Gov. Vance
is stumping. the State to prevent those who com.
pose It from influencing the people to secede from
the Confederacy, and he and bis friends are making
the most Vocerous appeals to the whole people of the
State to rise up and put down this party. This is
the way in which the Northern people reason on
the subject There is force in the view they take
of it 1t encourages them to hope for final success,
and they therefore levy new armies and bend all
their energies against Thus it is that the char
of our States and not only that but the blood
and treasure of the country are sacrificed on ac-
count of the mad influence of party. The C0wed-
crate and Conservative and their candidate, Gov
Vance, do not believe what they say, but they want
their party or faction to succeed, and hence the
course they are pursuing.

The Latest Nsv,.

The Petersburg Ezprsss of Tuesday last says:
"O6icers and others in position to know, have
become either such Indifferent observers or positive
"knoWnothingS" in regard to matters along the
lines, that it is no easy task now to get up an
article " from the front" Yesterday all our en-
quries for information from that direction met with
the almost universal response, "nothing whatever
OF interest transpiring along the lines today" So
far as city ears could judge, yesterday was one
among the ddlest days in warlike matters, that we
have experienced, since the siege of Petersburg,
commenced But we have positive information that
there was some picket firing yesterday, and that
occasional mortar shell found its way into the
trenches on both sides Of the line We could learn
OF no casualties on our side, and we have no means
of ascertaining what damage was done among the
enemy, but until informed to the contrary, we can
at least indulge the hope that as shell were made
to kill and MAIN, and this is the peculiar Office
OF the minnie also, some of the invaders were, by
yesterdays operations, either placed under thesod
or entered upon the hospital list"
The Egpress does not place any confidence in the
report of Gen. Grants death.
We had hoped, and so stated in our last, that
Atlanta had been relieved by the late battle. 1t
appears, however, that the enemy are near enough
to shell the place. and that the Railroads north and
south of it have been seriously damaged

RICHMOND, July 27-Baltimore papers of the 26th

and took command. Averill lost all of his artillery.
1t is reported that Averill and Mlgan are killed.

victory at Atlanta on Friday, do not concede de-

manifest disposition to undergo almost any
expense to secure the advantages accruing
from the great amount of expenditure con-
stantly being paid out by boats of that trade
at the Dubuque harbor, which is becoming
very inconvenient. The Zines says that
thus far this year the Packet Company has
expended over 100000 in Dubuque, for
the work Of carpenters and machinists, for
iron, nails, paint, glass, etc., and for provis
ions. Before the year closes the sum will
be increased at least $4,000. Next year
the expenditures will be nothing unless we
bestir ourselves, and that very soon, towards
making necessary repairs to our harbor.
