General Order No.. 8.
All officers and soldiers Of this command are
reminded that the State Of North Carolina
was one of the last states that passed the or
dinance of secession, and that from the com
mencement of the war there has been IN the
State strong Union party. Her action on
the question of secession was undoubtedly
brought about by the traitorous act Of other
States, and by intrigue and dishonesty on the
part Of few Of her own citizens. The act
never even met the approval OF the great mass
of her citizens.
1t should not be assumed that the inhabitants
are enemies to our Government, and it is to
be hoped that every effort will be made to pre-.
vent any wanton destruction of property, Or
unkind treatment Of citizens.

In the eloquent speeches at the great
meeting at the African Church, the
distinguished gentlemen present spoke
with emphasis of the wonderful re-
vival of patriotic spirit which had fol-
lowed the humiliatins demands of
the Federal Government at Fortress
Monroe. Evidences Of this change arc
multiplying every day. Men who had
begun to talk in no undertone of recon-
struction now frankly acknowledge their
folly. If the President of the United
States really desired the consolidation Of
the Confcderacy, and the indefinite pro~
longation Of the war, he could not have
adopted more effectual means than his
answer to the peace commission. 1t

The Rigid Neutrality" Of the British
Government in this war is one of the
phrases which will live in history. 1t
means, practically, emitting no oppor-
tunity to assist each party to horn the
other.
In the memorable combat Of Paul
Jcnes between the American frigato
bonhomme Richard and the British fri
gate Scraps, there was an illustration OF
rigid neutrality" not often witnessed
IN naval actions. The reports of that
desperate fight, subsequently given by

"'aiiaefs, complain bitterly Of the da-

mage each suffered from the frigate AL
lance, commanded by Frenchman, Cap
tain Landais, who professed to be serving
under the American flag. Captain Jones
states in his report that, at most critical
period Of the action, when both ships
were on fire, his own said to be sinking,
and nearly five hundred English priso.
ncrs aboard let loose, the Alliance
appeared, and he now thought the battle
at an end, but to his utter astonishment
the Alliance discharged broadside
full into the stern Of the Bonhomme
Richard. Jones called to him, for IIea.
ven's sake, to forbear firing into that
frigatc yet he passed along the off side
of the ship and continued blazing away.
There was no possibility, says JONES' of
his mistaking the enemy's ship for the
Richard, there being the most essential
difference in their appearance and con-
struction besides, it was then full moon
light, and, for greater security, Jones had
showed the signal of his reconnaissance
by putting out three lanterns-one at
the bow, another at the quarter, and the
third in the middle, in horizontal line.
Every tongue cried that he was firing at
the wrong ship; but nothing availcd, he
passed round, firing into the Richard
head, stern and broadsidc, killing several
of the best men, and delivering various
shots under water, with the view Of sink
ing the vessel. All Jones's officers con-
cur with their commander in his state
mcnt of the conduct of tic Alliance. If
now we turn to the report of the British
commander Captain PERSON. of the Se-
rapis, VIC find him stating that he fought
Jones, with the muzzles of the guns in
the two ships touching each other, from
half past till halfpast 10 P. NJ, during
which time, from the great quantity and
variety of combustiblc matter which
Jones threw in upon his decks, chains,
and in short, into every part of the
ship, the Scraps was on fire no less than
ten or twelve times in different parts of
the vessel. "At the same time, the
largest of the two frigates kept sailing
round us the whole action, and raking
us fore and aft, by which means she
killed or wounded almost every man on
the quarter and gun decks" This large
frigate, which distributed her favors with
such handsome equality between the two
combatants, was none other than the
Alliance, commanded by the worthy
Frenchman, Captain Landais, whose
object seems to have been, by allowing
the two vessels, in their close encounter,
so to disable each other that, keeping
the Alliance uninjured, in the event OF
the Richards striking her colors, Captain
Landais might make prizes Of both
ships, and return to France with great
glory.
The "rigid neutrality" Of the British
Government Of piece with the naval
tactics Of Captain Landais. First it as.
sists one belligerent, then the other
pours broadside into the Confedcrates
and then rakes the Federals the object
being the same: to disable both, and t.
build up it's own fortunes on their com.
mon ruin.
