OPPOSED TO THE US1oN.-President
Lincoln, IN his late annual message, says
Judging by the recent canvass aud its
result, the purpose of the people within

OF the Union, was never more firm nor

The War it wa. Done.

Extract from letter to the Editor, dated
WARREN Go. Aug. 8, 1864
Yesterday was the day appointed to hold the
elections, hut there was no election held for Gov.
ernor in Warren County. Every man thas went
to the polls compelled to hand in an open ticket.
for Vance, and no man could vote for Holden except
under threat that he would be hung I
did not go to the polls myself and kept all could
from going, fer knew tlcy would not be allowed
to vote as they wished"
Extract from letter to the Editor, dated
.-.. WINSTON, August 8, 1854.
"It was believed by the best judges that you
would carry Forsyth by 800 majority, but the
means resorted to 10 intimidate the people succeed
ed, and hence the result Many were afraid to
vote"
Extract from letter to the Editor, dated
WmkEsBoRoUGH, August 5, 1864.
"On Tuesday evening it was known that Capt.
McMillan's cavalry and parts of two companies Of
infantry of the 6slh N G. regiment had entered this
County, and that Maj. Vannoy. of the Home Guard,
had ordered details of several companies to attend
the elections. 1t being our Court week, the news
spread rapidly, and had the effect to keep many
from the polls. 1t is true the military old not take
possession Of the polls but the fact that the soldiers
were in squads at the election grounds produced
the effect intended Still you have carried the
County, and Hampton is certainly bea.en."
We learn that the Hon. Wlllia:n T. Dortch, Con-
federate States Senator, who stumped the County
of Wayne, told the people that every man who
voted for Holden would be marked as traitor
that the government had the power to put all de-
tailed men in the army, and would put all in who
might vote against Vance. The effect Of this is
seen in the vote of Wayne. But the reign of ter
rOr was not cOn6ned to that County. At hundreds.
of ballot boxes at which soldiers stationed,
where the employees Of the two governments had
control, it was as much as a mans life was worth
to exercise freely and boldly his right Of suffrage.

tbs DRAFT FOR HALF MILLION OF MEN.-A few
days ago we noticed briefly that Edward N Fuller,
editor of the Newark IN. j Ecening Journal, had
been arrested by the United States authorities.
charged with publishing treasonabe articles. The
following is paragraph from one IF the articles:
1t will be seen that Mr.. Lincoln has called for
another half million Of men, Those who desire
to be butchered will please step forward at once,
All others will please step forward and defy Old
Abe and his ,min'ous to drag them from their fam.
lilies We hope that the people of New Jersey will
at once put their feet down and insist that not a
man shall be forced out of the State to engage in
the abolition butcherY, and swear to die at their
own doors rather than march one step to fulfill the
DICTATES of that mad revolutionary fanaticism, which
has destroyed the best government the ~ord ever
saw, and would now butcheris remaining inhabi-
.tanls to- carry out mere fanatical sentiment This
has gone. far enough, and must be stopped. Let
the people rise as one man and demand that this
wholesale murder shall cease"
Mr. Fuller was arrested on two charges, and held
to bail in the sum of $5, 900 on theirst and 81 O)0
on the second charge.

Atrocious Attack ON Col. Russ.

The Conservative aud Confederate, of this City,
referring to the remarks made by Col. Russ on the
day after the election in this place, say, 1--WE have
no confidence in the loyalty or patriotism of any
one who would use or endorse such language as
that employed by the Secretary of State" Now
what was the language? These papers say that
Col Russ declared that "he had to run against the
combined power Of the two goVernments-the most
corrupt on the face of God Almighty's EARTH" Now
what Col. Russ did say was this: That he had to
against two candidates for Sheriff, who had
no principles, and another who was for Vance or
Holden according to the crowd he was in and also
against the combined power of the two governments
whose officials were the most corrupt Of those of
any governments earth. That was what he
meant and what he said. Col. Russ made no
attack on t0 gOrernnlents He regards the frame
work of the two governments as excellent and he
is as strongly attached To them as any citizen,
bnt he complained, as he had right to do, of the
corrupt administration Of the governments.
These papers state that Col Russ spoke with
g"at wrath on the occasion. We learn that this is
a9t So but that Col Russ displayed his accustomed
god humcr in returning thanks to his friends for
lie support they had given him, He vas indig
nant it is true, at the means employed by the Of
iGls of the two governments to defeat him, but he
evinced no wrath or rage over his defeat so far
he was personally concerned These papers ask,
"what ought to be done with such a manT' We
will tell you what yOu ought to do with him, gen.
tlemen: You ought to beg his pardon for having
called him traitor, and you ought to beg the par-
don of your readers for having endeavored to pro
duce the impression on their minds that he is an
enemy to the two governments, whereas you know,
and every one else knows that he referred only to
the administration Of the governments. Will ydH
do this Never, But you will add attack to at.
tack, and calumny to caumny, for your cause pros
Hers only by such course. Col. Russ and his
friends dc moi expect justice at your hands, much
less favors. They are able to take care of them
selves. But you can enjoy the consolation ofknOw
ing that you have cheered aud encouraged the ene-
ny by falsely informing them that the Secretary OF
State of North Carolina is an enemy to both the
Confederate and State governments.

Good News from GEN. Hunter.

To Major General DIG:
The following dispatch has just been re-
ceived from Gen. Hunter:
II have the honor to report that our ex-
petition has been extremely successful in
inflicting great injury upon the enemy and
victorious in every engagement. Running
short of ammunition and finding it impos-
sible to collect supplies while in presence
of an enemy believed to be superior to our
force in numbers, and constantly receiving
reinforcements from Richmond and other
points, deemed it best to withdraw, and
have succeeded in doing so, without serious
loss, to this point, where we have met with
abundant supplies of food. A detailed re-
port of our operations will be forwarded
Immediately. The command is in excellent
health and ready, after few days rest, for
service in any direction"
Nothing later than my telegram of this
morning has been received from Grant or
Sherman.
(Signed) E. M. STANTON.
