RALEreH WEDNESDAY. FEB. a, 1855,

We publish today the proclamation of Gov.
Vance, urging the peoplsto continued resistance to
the federal armes and portraying the evils, ~ they
appear to him, Of restoration Of the federal Union
We publish this document a. small part Of the
history Of the times, being also willing that our
readers should have m opportunity to peruse and
form their own judgments ia relation to il. The
Governor appssrs't to feel what hs says The doca-
ment Is not destitute Of 3 csrtain spseiss of rude
eloquencs, which eharacterizes nearly all Of Gov.
Vaness st.ts papers; but though We may accord
to the Governor sincerity Of purpose and some vsor
in the ussiof language. We regret We cannot add
that he Is truthful or accurate ip his statements
A disregard of truth appears to be prominsnt,:sa.
ture in the Craftsmanship Of the day. Too. many
Of our public men substitute exclamation for arxu
ment, and imprisoned inxsstive for calm statement
and philosophic deduction Truth is distorted. bad
passions III infamed, and the bleeding wounds of
the country, instead Of being healed y the gentle
touches Of moderation and charity, are torn open
afresh by the rude fingers Of anger and vengeance.
Thefaes is now apparent that the destroyers Of our
Iormsr fabric Of government and their modera as
sociates like Gov. Vance, arc not fitted either BY
training, experience, or temper for tho great work
!. Of preserving or building up:
! II proclamations could have defeated our enc
mics, they would long since have retired with
trailing banners before the State papers Of this
kind launched at their heads by Governors Brown,
Nasrsth, and Vance. We can only hope that Gov
Vance will DO more successful than Governors
Brown and. Aagrath in rallyiss bis countrymen.-
Tho Governor has thousands efffieads in the State,
many of whom are enjoying bomb proof exemptions
At his hands and all of these friends Of his, Who
voted the yelie~ ticket last August and who have
been constantly boasting until recently of their de:
termination to repair to the fsld whenever their
services were needed are now called upon, by him
in the most earnest terms, To- redeem their pledges
and to aid him m beating back the enemy. Som,
Of these friends Of the Governor are holding meet
| ings and renewing their pledges to 60 wheoevel
they arc needed; and the. Governor exhorts ell o
them to hold meetings and make ready for tho day
Of trial, new 50 near At hand But it Is one thinl
to say and another 70 do. II gentlemen hold meet
ings and pledge others to go and stay st HON,
Themselves, they will Be justly regarded As coward
and hypocsites. Quiet, determined -velanteerinl
By regiments, companies, or even by squads, woult
have better effect on many Of our own peopl
and On the. enemy, than eli the prschmations IN,
al the meetings thst could be held between thi
and the fourth Of July.

OuTRAass By THE MnrrAKY.-The* attention Of
our readers is invited to the Communication in our
paper to day, over the signsturs Of " Ssnez" Its
from the pen Of Daniel B. Baker, Esq, venerable
and most worthy citizen Of New Hanover County.
Thh communication Was originally intended for the
Conservative Of this City, and was sent to that pa
per BY Mr., Baker With request for publication.
The Editor of the Gonsersatips refused to publish
it and it was then delivered to Daniel L. Ruarll
Jr., Esq, Of Brunsw who enclosed it to Us from
Goldsborough, with arequest from Mr.. Baker and
himself that We should lay it before the public We
comply very chesrfally with this request:
The refusal Of tho Conservative to publish this
communication furnishes additional evidence ofthe
hostility Of that paper to civil liberty apd Of tbs
disposition Of Gov. Vancs to screen these military
men who are in the habit Of trampling On the
rights Of our citizens. It is our opinion that
"senez" was submitted to Gov. Vance, and that he
advised the Editor not to publish. it II We an
mistaken in this opinion the Coxss,satiss can, say
so. Instead Of exposing such outssges, and en-
dsavoring to prevent them in future, the Osnssrss
tjse BY refusing 10 let them be knowa through its
columns actually makes itself 8 party 70 them II
is either not disposed to spssk 1T is afraid to
spsat out in defsuee II the princplss Of civil lib.
erty and the laws of the land. II all the newspa.
pers in the country were like the Conservative and
those who own and control it. Mr.. Davis might as
sumo the imperi.'purplo and pptcapt.ins Of ntties
and hundreds over US as our immediate masters,
and do Is be pleased with our fortunes and lives.
Nj. Baksr'has given detailed .nd eloquent mar.
rsti.s Of the insults md wrongs hsaped upon him.
We entertain no doubt Of the entire trthfulness o.

On tho day Of my arrest and the night previous,
about twenty or thirty free white citizens en-
ployed By the State of North Carolina Through her
Gove,nof.) to make salt, and about twenty ortwen-
ty.fve citizens residing in my nsighborhood, were
: also arrested. Some of them seventy and eighty
years ofage, were taken out OF their houses about
midnight in the cold and rain, and under gusrd Of
armed soldiers hurried off from their homes: They
were sent TO Wilmington guarded by twenty five
or thirty soldiers, armed wii4 loaded muskets They
we're kept together by these soldiers in the streets
like herd of CATTLE and were not permitted 10 20 in

do 80, they were driven back into the street. They
were kspt in this condition far two three hours.
When their cases were brought TO the attention of
Col. Jackson, be discharged them as he did me,
with no cause for their arrest assigned, and no
.plaustioa gwen. As was compelled to do, each
one of them was Obliged to obtain from Col Jack
son his written protection to save them from being
shot upon their return TO tn ir bones. -.
Two or three weeks have elapsed, and no excuse
for or explanation has been given by these military

Mn c. GnANT:-SIR. Your kind favor OF
date, Aug. 9th, is at hand. 1t found me in
the best of health, also with few exceptions
our whole Company. We are still detached
from the Regiment, and lam with the main
part of the Company; it is divided into three
squads and are stationed in three different
Counties some twenty miles apart. The bal
ance of our Regiment is still at Macon; it is
very unhealthy there and more than half the
men are sick but few are dying. | have Just
heard of the death Of Capt Guthrie of Co. b,
who died there last night William Church
is lst Lieutenant of the same Company, and
has been very sick but is getting better
Capt j. Riggs is well and hearty and still in
command here, and has quite busy time OF
it, and the way he comes down on the Southern
chivalry, in the way Of fine, for not respect
ing the order of the Frcedmcn's Bureau is
heavy. We have little to do besides making
arrests of both negroes and whites, the one
complaining against the other. Things have
not got to working right yet, and | am afraid
it will be some time before this part of the
Country will get along well withoutthe help Of
of the bayonet; think it altogether likely
that we will have to serve our full term of en-
istment unless relieved by other troops
Since writing to you last have been to see
the Andersonville prison pen and grave yard
but it would be the next thing to impossible
for me to try to give You anything like de
scription of the place. l had from what
had heard of the place formed sad picture
but acknowledge that had not even once
thought to see the sight / did, nor can
see how men lived for one week in place
like that, crowded as the number must have
been, without shelter of any kind summer Of
winter. Some few built mud huts or dug
holes in the ground. There is but small
stream of water running through the pen ant
all the filth Of the place running into it; bu
besides one small spriug and one or two well'
IL was all the water they had to use. ThC
spring | speak of is said to have first sprung
up after the stcckade' was completed and pri
soners in it. The grave yard has been fixef
up with good fence arouadit, and all tht
graves are marked with nice Skhte heac
board, and numbered with date of Death, ant
name, letter of Company, and number o
Regiment; but there are a great many un
known and murked as such. The rebels tha
died there while on guard are buried in on
corner by themselves, also six prisoners tina
were hung by other prisoners for murder il
the stockade. ~
counted one hundred and fifty-seven tha
died in one day and are laid side by side
There are still men working on the ground
and before long it will be a very nice looking
place, but mortal man will never, know wha
sorrow and suffering lies buried beneath tn
sod. a - '.'r "u g. "i'
Hoping this may find you and yours ii
} good health, remain, very respectfully

an association Of native Irish, is producing
quite panic in England: the association
(which extends to this country and Canada
appears to be very active in its movements
at the present time throughout Ireland: secret

Reconstruction.

The course Of the President in his dealings
with Rebels, and the policy which gov
erns him in his efforts at reconstruction Of the
national authority in the States recently in
rebellion, we fear are not such as he enun :
ciated at the time of his accession to the
Presidency. AT that time he spoke Of the
enormaties of treason, and of the necessity
of Furnishing its leaders and abetters, in
manner to convince the world that treason
scas an enormous crime, ,--and now he talks
exclusively Of reconciliation and .forgireness,
and is daily extending grace aud pardon not
so much to second rate class Of rebels, as to
those who were foremost in organizing and
conducting the rebellion: having only so far
punished the assassins who murdered his glo
rious predecessor. Now this state of things,
the country cannot fail to see and to ponder
over, wondering why it is SO, and if the
President will ever redeem the assurances he
then unsought gave the country. @

Itself to move by this high standard of public

luton of difficulties to be furnished by the
progress Of time and the logic Of events.

with its fearful sacrifice of life and treasure
forced upon us by the shareholders rebellion

slavery an i its institutions are irreconcilabl
opposed to freedom and free institutions, AM
all the teachings Of history; the dealings Q
Providence and our own better experience

currence of like evils in the future. i,.

Reconstruction of fraternal relations with tn
