RALEIGH, N. G., WEDNESDAY

ent Legislature, the current is against
them, and it is not popular to be an out
spoken, unconditional Union man.
We deplore this state of things as
much as any one, but the truth must
be told at all hazards. We trace all
these evils to the Editor of the Sentinel
and his associates. They are response
BILE not only for the calamities of the
rebellion, but for the exclusion of the
State from the Union. If they had re-
manned quiet, as they promised to do,
during the last six months, and had
permitted the "uanistaka6ly loyap'
men to perform the work Of restoration,
h-Carolina would have been ad-
mitted with Tennessee-the President
would have been sustained-no breach
would have been forced between him
and any portion of the Republican par
rty, and the day would been at hand
when our State would have entered on
the enjoyment of all her rights and
privileges as member of the Union
But as it is, no one can foresee the re-
suit. Our whole State government may
be swept away second time, and we
may be placed for an indefinite period
under military rule.

The Editor of the Sentinel says he
"would have signed Mr.. Badgers or
dinance, which Mr.. Holden preferred,
but whether he could have been in
duced to sign the secession ordinance
we are not sure.'' We are sure, if the
Editor is not. He would have signed
it. He was not better Union man at
that time than were Mr.. Badger, Mr..
Graham, Mr.. Starbuck, Mr.. Dick, Mr..
Brown, Mr.. Warren, Mr.. Cannon, Dir.
Gilmer, and others who might benamed !;
and he is net possessed of more moral
courage tl&n the gentlemen mentioned.
If he had refused to sign it he would
have been hissed out of the State. He
would have been turned out Of his
Church. He would have been hunted
like wild beast.
The writer of this did not want to
sign it. 1t was the saddest and most
reluctant act of his life. He became a
member of the Convention, with other
Union men, in the hope that something
might be done to preserve liberty; and
though opposed to both coercion and
secession, and though he went with
his State" under the strongest physical
and moral duress, he never ceased to
hope and to believe that the result
would beat times he could not fore
see how-the establishment of one great
common government for the North and
South. When the proper time arrived
he struck for peace, and just here he
separated from the Editor of the Senti-
mel. The latter preferred subjugation
to restoration, while we longed for re-
storation as the only means for preser
wing the liberties and property of our
people. If the Editor and his friends
had gone with us in 1868, we should
have saved slavery for time, or if we
had failed in that, we should have OBJ
tanned compensation for our slave prop
erty but, what is of infinitely more i'm
portance, we should have saved two hun
dred thousand valuable lives on each
side, and we should have escaped the
awful ruin and devastation occasioned
by invading armies. We urged this
course in the most earnest terms, and
we did so for years at the constant risk
Of life and property; our neighbor op-
posed it, promising the people day by
day that>the Yankees" f" would be van
quished, and independence achieved.
And now, after having gone with
those who caused all this ruin, he
boasts of his wickedness and treason,
for he says he l"did not cowardly de-
sert" the State Gas soon as the game
seemed to be against her." We regret
that we were rebel, and we plead in
extenuation the overruling circum-
stances that surrounded US he boasts
that he was one, and claims .that he is a
better Unionist than we are He is
proud that he did not sink his own
pride of opinion to save his section from
utter ruin, and denounces as towards
the peace men or true Unionists Of the
State. We will tell our neighbor who
the towards were They were those
who bowed the knee to Davis and his
minions, and who would have attended
him, cap in hand, as he assembled the
throne of imperial power, as he expect
ed to do, in these Southern States. OF
all the cowardiee that ever disgraced .

AnecdOte of Sidney Johnson.

an. W. M says an exchange, sends
US the following anecdote of the lac GEN
eral Sidney Johnson:
"While Sidney johnson resided on
Oyster Creek, in Texas, he kept tanned
Mexican lion, of which he was very fond,
and which followed him everywhere like a
dog. One day, while at dinner with Gen.
Lamar and Rev. Mr.. Fontaine, he was feed
ing him with pieces of meat, and happen
ing to give him rare slice, with blood
dropping from it, the lion seized the hand
that held it, crushing it and growing fierce
ly, with angry eyes fixed on his master.
General Johnson, without cry of pain or
a single move ment, looked steadily at him
and said quietly several times, Let 60,
Dam But the animal only growled and
lashed his tail, when, turning to a servant,
the General told him to hand his pistol,
which the frightened negro did, and Gen.
johnson taking it in his left hand, blew out
the lions brains, but his hand was hope

we noticed at the first market two beautiful,
well-dressed females, young in years, from
Powhatten county, who had driven wag-
on from home loaded with produce, which
they were offering for sale. These ladies
were of high spectability-and before the
