the eve of the departure of the stage from Ashe-

the other from Burnsville, came into town and re-
ported that the enemy we're in force s, 600 strong
at the former place. and 700 strong Cavalry at the
latter give you the report as it was brought here
for what it is worth. Our citizens believe there is
foundation for the rumor, but think that the nun.
bers are exaggerated We, in this region, are IN
very exposed unprotected and deenceless situation
Our fighting population have nearly all been taken
out of the country, and in place of them now
have -- mounted men. If some.
thing is not done for this region of the State
our people may prepare to hear that it has passed
from our hands forever. Now or never is tine time
to act I'd 1t will be too late to lock the stable door
after the horses are stolen. Our people are cool
and calm, but very much depressed on account Of
their situation. Cannot you stir up the Confeder-
ate and State authorities to sense of the exposed
condition of Western North Carelina!"
The situation Of Western Carolina appeals trum.

AGAINST HIS OWN FR1ENDs-Mr Harris Tyso-,
of Far Haven, Moore County, gives notice through
the Fayetteville Obseruer that he is candidate for
the Senate in Moore and Montgomery that be is
"against Lincoln, Holden and the Devil, COL W.
B. Richardson, John Andrew Barrett" &c. Why,
Mr. Tysor is against his own friends We cannot
trust man who would turn upon his old friend
the Devil. Mr.. Tysor says he challenged US last
September to 60 with him to the war We did
not accept the challenge for two reasons, ,st be-
cause we felt sure Mr. Tysor was only joking; and
sseondy last September, as the result of the teach
ings of the State Journal the Raleigh Register,
the army Convention, Mr.. Tysor and the Devil, q
parcel of Georgia troops were engaged in making
war on u.s. We could not attend to them and the
Yankees at the same time
F. Mr.. Tysor and his friend Gov Vance remind us
very much of the false teachers spoken of by St.
Peter in his Second Episte, chapter I'd:
These are wells without water, clouds that are
carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of dark-
ness is reserved forever: For when they speak
great swelling words Of vanity, they allure through
the lusts of the flesh, though much wantonness,
those that were clean escaped from them who live
in error. While they promise them liberty, they
themselves are the servants Of corruption"

Gov. Vance's friends vs.. Libe rty.


Mr. EprroR:-1 write you few lines to let you
know how Gov. Vances friends are trying to secure
votes for him. r. G. Holmes, Esq, Chairman Of
the Court of Sampson County, says that If one
Justice of the Peace votes for Mr.. Holden he will
issue q warrant against him. He thinks he will
scare somebody, but don't think he will / shall
vote for Holden without something happens worse
than a warrant, and 50 will many others. Mr..
Holden will gain votes in Sampson until the cleo
tion If we expect liberty we must vote for MIR.
Holden. JUSTICE OF The PEACE.
This is the way Vance and his INSCRIPTIONS De-
structive supportes are trying to tyranzs over the
people. Magistrates and Home Guard officers are
told if they vote for Vance all right but if they
vote against him they are to be sent to the army.
Such corruption was never practiced, and such ty-
ranny never attempted before.-Progress
All the red-muuthed secessionists in Sampson
many Of them spectators and skulkers from the war
are for Gov. Vance. He is welcome to them But
it seems Mr.. Dick Holmes is putting on airs. We
tell that gentleman that we neither fear nor regard
him, and that if he arrests or attempts 10 arrest
any one of our friends for voting for us, we will
have him prosecuted for false Imprisonment. Issue
a warrant against man for voting as he pleases !!
Who ever heard the like befores We trust the
o"SS w.
the fatal influences Of the Clinton clique. We be-
lieve they will do it. "Still water runs deep
Let them be ready for the election, and when the
day comes let them Dork and cote. "Still as the
breeze, but dreadful as the storm" Let our enc
mics first feel our strength at the polls and hear
of it afterwards What we say to our Sampson
friends We say to all Be calm and irm-6rm'ss

the Destractives. Your minds are mode up
Vote, sats, cote, and soork-work all day from nine
o'clock until sunset on the 4th Of August. '.~
Two years ago Mr.. Holmes was against Gov.
Vance, No threat was made then to arrest persons
for voting against him. Now Mr.. Holmes is for
Vance, and would jmprison every man who may
vote against him. Such are Gov. ,Vanoe's suppor-
ters. "a man is known by the company he
keeps" -.

TaE FACT Proved AGAlN.-Our readers will bear
in mind that we have already shown, by the ieSti.
mony of DR.. Leach, that in January last Gcs.
Vance opprored his resolutions, which were the
first in the State to suggest Convention; and the
record shows that about that time Gov Vance wrote
to President Davis asking him to aid him in sup
pressing the "dscontent in this State, oc-
casioned, as the Governor declared, by this very
Convention proposition But we have ether and
further proof Our correspondent, One Who
Heard" states emphatcally that on the goth Of
February Gov Vance, in the town Of Taylorsville,
approved Mr.. Bogles' Convention resolutions, and
layished high praise on them as the very thing for
the times Mr.. Bogle made this statement in the
presence of number of persons in Wilkesborongh,
on the 4th day :of this month. 1t is also known
that on the 22l lof the same month"; at WikesbOr-
ouch. Gov Vance denounced a Convention in the
most vehenen. terms and warned the people against
it, Facts are stubborn things.

Wake County.

The camps:ca in Wax: commenced on Thursd'yy

tive ticket is follows: For the Senate, Maj. Willie
u Jones, For the Commons, Green h. Afford,
Calvin J. Rogers, and W. R. Richardson For
Sheriff. Col. J. P H. Russ. This ticket was duly
and fairly nominated in May last in Raleigh, by
large mass meeting Of the Conservatives OF the
rountv. but the ticket on the other side, to wit,
Son Rogers for the Senate, and William Laws,
Tbos ]. Utley, and Daniel G. Fowle for the Com
,nors was not called for or nominated BY any por-
,;on Of the Conservatives in public meeting, but
was brought out by the Destructives OF the Coun'
~ and few professed Conservatives the latter be-
N, connosed for the most part Of Stalfederates
about Raleigh.
This latter ticket therefore, has no claims on the
Conservatives # the County.
We trust the Conservatives Of the County will
r.,lv IN ncsse around their candidates. Let them
susts;n their own action in mass meeting, and let
them, as a matter of principle adhere to those who
represent their principles. The ticket headed by
Sion H. Rogers is disorganizng concern, and can
triunp ph only by breaking down and destroying the
Conservative party Of the County.

oer The Confederate ticket in Cumberland and
Harnet, or rather the Destructive ticket is headed
by z. B. Vance for Governor; and Gov. Vance is
thus assigned his appropriate place by the O5ser-
cer, who knows Messrs Mcdaniel Mclean. Shep-
herd, and McDufie to be Destructives of the most
radical stamp. In Cumberland and Harnett Gov.
Vance is supported as Confederate or Destructive,
but in Wake and others Counties he is supported
as Conservative. A face to suit everybody so as
to get votes, seems to be the rule by which the
Vanceites are governed.
Two years ago the O5serssr supported COL Vance
for Governor with reluctance, and seldom appealed
to its readers during the campaign to remember that
he was the Conservative candidate; but now, when
the Governor is leading the Destructive forces the
appeals of the Observer are both long and loud in
his behalf Then the O6serper, according to its
own admission, was neither Conservative nor De.
structve, but no,o it is Destructive paper of the
worst. stamp. 1t has no claim 20 the confidence
OF the Conservative party.

We give to-day report of Gov. Vance's speech
at Salem, kindly furnished by friend The Gov,
ernor said many things about us in this speech
which are not true but it is useless for US to cor
rect his misstatements, for he will repeat them
again and again. For example, he says We slapped
him on the shoulder on one occasion, and said,
"Vance, all the fellows say want to run for Gov
ernor-they are liars" This is all pure, or rather
impure fiction. We never slap people on the
shoulder in this vulgar way, and never use such
language.
The speech as reported-and no doubt it is cor.
rectly reported neither craftsmanship, nor
ability, nor dignity, nor decency. But we drop the
curtain for the present Let the people read and
judge for themselves.
