home guards nearest to the State bound

Virginia friend in demolishing the enc

of the stuff of which his home guard
was composed. They marched, it is
true, and they marched toward the foe;
but the moment they came to the State
line they came to a dead malt No
further would they go. Not a foot
crossed the magical boundary. They
were ready for fight, but seemed to
cherish "holy horror" of, or hearty
contempt for, Virginia's sacred soil.
Perhaps they considered the old State
nothing more than vast graveyard,
and like the school boy, they did not
care about going into it, either by day
OF night The ghosts of fifty thousand
North Carolinians people the forests
and valleys of Virginia, and those who
remain at home in the old North State
have no anxiety to peril their own
bodies and souls upon the ground where
their brothers, sons and fathers have
been slaughtered by the myriad.
Governor Vance and jeff Davis may
grow indignant.at the characterization
of these Home Guards" but it will
result in nothing. The former will rave
and swear over it, while the latter will

the President of the United States
called for hundred day men last

whom the demand was made, respond

were needed. The reason of this diff
ference is obvious. The mass of the
Southern people have been taught that
they owe nothing save to their States;
all that is done for the general veal,
is a good will offering; and it was
through this theory that they were in
duced to revolt against the general gov

that his duties are to the nation; and /
that States are mere local political corr

the fall of Atlanta was a fearful blow

in a kind of forlorn hope, on the

the only safe things to invest in, and
these command the most startling
prices, as much as twety FIVE and twene

of the precious metal is obtainable at
