tween the two countries and Davis 60 to the two
countries, the writer declars that " Davis is not
quite so much of a rebel as Seward would like to
make him." He, Davis, has headed this rebellion
from its inception, been the president of the pre-
tended new nation, declared over and over and
over again that there should be no peace till the
United States acknowledged that the south was in
dependent. He instituted measures and has car
ried them out for four years, that has cost this
country billions of dollars, and sent mourning,
and grief and agony untold through the land north
and south, he has caused thousands of our
bravest men to starye and die in southern prisons;
and has done all this deliberately AMI with malice
afore thought and now this editor of the Brad
ford argus concludes that he is not much of a
rebel as Seward would like to have him.
If he is rebel at all do not see how it is poss-
ible for him to be a worse one, more black hearted
From the way he is spoken of in the article it is
fair to suppose that the writer does not think that
he is rebel, but only fighting for southern rights
which means southern independence The writer
again asks, ~ Why was this mission failure?" and
adds there can be but one answer to this, Mr.
Lincoln did not desire peace and union "The
conduct of Mr.. Lincoln is but another act i'll the
great game which he says we are playing" 1t is
easy to make assertions like this. but | chal-
enge the writer of this article to point out word,
or act in this whole affair III which Mr.. Lincoln
gave the least evidence that he not sincere and
did not desire peace and union ; he did say and has
always said he would have union and peace to-
gether. Let every read carefully every word
that he wrote or spoke, for have the record
of what he said, and every telegram he sent, and
if he honestly sathat his acts and words did not
indicate desire to 'secure peace to the people OF
our common country" and union with that peace,
he must be more warped by political prejudice than
l think any loyal man can be.
Again, another question, ''eyery drop of blood
that is hereafter shed III this conflict must be upon
Mr. Lincolns skirts" If that sentence was not
written in Richmond, the man who could write
and through newspaper send it abroad in this
| country at this particular time, ought to be sent
there. Once more, If the great crime of seces
sion is to be consummated, upon Mr.. Lincoln must
| be the guilt Why, if this writer resides either
| North or South he belongs to a party, which al
| least pretends to believe that secession is not
crime, that a State has a right to secede wheneve
it pleases, that there is no power in the constitu
! ton to coerce a State back into the Union, tina
! State rights override all other authority.
! Can it be possible that paper published il
Bradford county that will send forth such articles
| can be supported by the reading men of the coun
ty in either party: If it can, any great length o
time the intelligence of the citizens of the con
try, and their loyalty, must have been over estma
| ted COLUMBUS.

NEWS FROM SHERMAN

BY the arrival of the Dudley Buck ,whin
left Newbern on Monday afternoon, the e,
inst, at o'clock, we learn that up to ;.
urday night, the 4th inst, warm shove.
had been falling for a week, which h,
made the roads bad 1t cleared off
Saturday night, and when the Dudley b..
left there was promise Of good weather
The soil being sandy,the reads will be hs

felled great numbers of trees across 7,
roads and paths leading from Newbcn
kinston, which were being removed by
force advancing from Newbern which fa,
was within short distance of Kms,
when the Dudley Buck left.
Refugees who arrived in Newben
stated that Fayetteville, \. c., was in -
possession last week, and that Sherr
was within 40 miles of Raleigh that
Rebel soldiers were deserving in compaa

Of them were retiring to their homes t
the people pay but little heed to the pr.
nation of Gov. Vance calling them t. an.
and that in most places in North Care
the people go forth to meet Sherman
words of welcome, and are not partica
about placing their stock and supplies
of his reach.
Many Of the inhabitants of West
North Carolina were on their way to n.
their relatives and friends in Sherman's

Quite panic prevails among the nc-r
in North Carolina since the announccme
that they are to be conscripted 10 figl

and from its pure democratic spirit, has the
right to institute foreign policy binding
in judicious degree all other people in
habiting the Western Continent. 1t has
the right because the foreign policy of one
state, however weak, is connected with
the safety of all the States. No one State
may pursue line of foreign policy detri-
mental to the common good, and it follows
from this, that the power of the whole may
coerce part. But this line of argument
is quite unimportant-here the essential
justice and necessity of the Monroe Doct-
rine never having been disputed, either
North or South D
And as we had clearly the right and the
power to declare the Monroe Doctrine an
essential feature of our foreign policy, so
the obligation to do so was imperative. We
are not living for the present alone, but the
great Future is resting upon us. The years
that are passing bear with them the high
est responsibilities people can know. AS
We have received glorious heritage from
our fathers, so let our children receive from
theirs.
And that our age is alive to its duties let
the grand scene enacting on every side at
test. Why is the treasure expended, the
blood shed, the lives lost? Why do our
hearts thrill for our glorious Union, if only
the present bounds our vision and we see
nothing beyond? But we do-in the future
a great and glorious Republic meets oul
sight, stretching from gulf to river, and ex
panding ocean to ocean, having one lang
uage, one law, one flag, one spirit, one life
with will reaching onward toward per
fection bounded only by its capacity fol
progress, and with foreign policy which
commands the respect of the world.

EXCHANGE OF PRIsoNERs.-It will gladden.
many a heart, here in the North. to know
that the exchange of prisoners is taking
place as rapidly as possible. Both our
own and the rebel authorities are working
together. The recent freshet on the James
interrupted the exchange at Varina for two
or three days, but now the waters have
abated, and the hag-oftruce steamers are
receiving our suffering men from Libby and
covering the Richmond wharves with the
gray-clad equivalent Wilmington, since
its capture, has been made an entrepot for
exchange, and the rebel papers announce
that up to Wednesday last eight thousand
had been sent to that city. The prison-pens
at Florence, Salisbury, and other places, ARE
fast losing their starving occupants, not by
death, but by oft-sighed for liberation
