Invited Home.

The South having triumphed in the late
conflict of arms with the federal government,
and the Southern people having established
governments to suit themselves and rebels
against the Confederacy having been put un-
der foot, the Richmond Examiner invites
Gen. Price, Gov. Harris, and other " emf
nent" Confederate leaders to return to their
homes. These gentlemen left too soon, and
they stay away too long. Our heart yearns to-
wards the immaculate Judeh P. Benjamin.
Why is he not also invited to return7 The
Examiner says: '
"From our late fellow-citizens, General
Price, Judge Perkins, Governor Harris, and
Others, who are now in Mexico, we have fire.
quent intelligence, which, unfortunately, is
not favorable as to their situation and Cir
cumstances. We sincerely trust that these
eminent gentlemen, whose expatriation is es-
pecially deplorable, in consequence of the
unstable and insecure society of which they
are members, will promptly abandon the life
of discomfort and privation which they have
chosen, and return to the grateful people who
respect their virtues and honor their fidelity
to the great cause in whose loss we were com.

oliver HI. Dockery, Esq.

If every leading Unionist in the State had
exerted himself in the late campaign as the
gentleman did whose name heads this article,
the Union vote would have been much lar
ger than it is. We learn from a friend in
Montgomery County that Col Dockery ad-
dressed the people at Troy, Carthage, and
Rockingham with marked effect, explaining
and enforcing the Howard amendment, and
urging due and honest submission to nation
al authority. His speech at Carthage, to
which Gen. Dowd attempted in vain to re-
ply, is spoken of in high terms of praise.
Oliver H. Dockery is son of that noble
old Unionist, Gen. Alfred Dockery, of Rich
mond. ...s
It affords us pleasure also to bear our tes-
timony to the zeal and fidelity exhibited in
the late campaign by Allen Jordan and D.
A. Boyd, Esquires, of Montgomery. and w.
B. Richardson, A. r. Mcdonald, and Will
liam M. Black, Esquires, of Moore.

something Very Elegant.

We invite the attention of the New York
Times and other Northern journals, to the
following from the Salisbury Banner, of this
State. Speaking of the Legislature of this
State and the proposed constitutional amend
ment, that paper says:
I'VE do not believe there is respectable
member, elected to that body, who will hesi-
tate for moment as to what course he
should pursue, with respect to that ddmna5le
act, passed By the miserable, ,Jacobin mob of
coaspirators. styling itself Congress, unless
he is unduly influenced by such southern
radical co-workers as Holden, Dockery, Dick,
and Logan. There may be some few that
will cast their votes in favor of its adoption,
but, our word for it, they will be such as can
lay no claim to character, influence, or prin-
ciple"

CLAIMS Against the Federal Government.

We have received letters from number of
loyal Unionists of this State, who suffered los
ses during the rebellion at the hands of fed
eral troops, asking if any provision has been
made to compensate them for such losses
We reply, that there is a law of Congress
under which all loyal persons, vino can make
satisfactory proof of loyalty, will be able,,
when the State shall have been restored to the
Union, to obtain compensation for their los
ses. The day after the Tennessee members
were admitted to their seats, on motion of
Col. Stokes, the law on this subject was ex-
tended to that State, and Tennessee claim
ants are now receiving their money.
But everything promotive of justice and
prosperity among our people ishindered BY
our exclusion from the Union and this ex-
clusion is the result of the unsubdued and
rebellious spirit by which those public men
are governed who are controlling our affairs.

Gen. Sherman's Mission to Mexico.
The Washington correspondent of the New

Inc washington correspondent OF the new
York Times says: ~ s.i,'ii5s
Gen. Sherman had another interview with
the President to-day, after the session of the
Cabinet, at which he accepted the military
diplomatic mission to Mexico, which stated
yesterday had been rendered to him. He
will, therefore, leave for Ohio tomorrow, and
after arranging some private affairs, he will
leave for Mexico probably within ten days,
accompanied by Col. Campbell, Minister to
that Republic. The Administration is graft
fed at the prompt action of Gen. Sherman,
and the hope is confidently entertained that
the presence of an officer of such rank and
distinction will be sufficient indication Of
the earnestness of this Government in the
measures it is taking to aid the restoration
OF the republic, and that it will render the ac-
tual presence of United States troops on
Mexican soil unnecessary. Gen. Sherman's
precise mission is both milit Try and diplo-
matte. He goes to sustain Minister Camp
bell in all the diplomatic relations which may
be re-established, and empowered also with
full direction as to the use of military power
in any emergency requiring it. The very
important nature of this work is thus appar-
ent, and the President is anxious that it not
only shall be In safe and able hands, but that
our representatives shall reach the scene of
action as soon as possible The name of Gen.
Grant was at first suggested as the proper
person for this position of military envoy,
but as he cannot well be spared from the
pressing duties consequent upon the reorgan-
ization of the army, Gen. Sherman was selec-
ted, he having declined the tender of the
War Department, which was made by the
President. When the change does occur in
the latter Department, it is altogether proba-
BILE that Gen. Grant will assume its duties y
1t is stated that the United States govern
ment is to act as a sort of protectorate to
Mexico; that Macmillan is to retire, and the
liberal government of Juarez is to be main
tanned and the United States is to have
Lower California and large slices from Chi
huihua and Sonora. Gen. Sherman is emf
nently fitted to attend to all these matters.

Fsllow- Citizens late of the 0. s. Arny::
FELLOW CITIZENS ALL Accept my re-
CARDS and thanks for your kind and earnest
solicitations inviting me to be at, and take
a part in your Convention. It would avail
me much pleasure and satisfaction to have
Welded to your request, and had made up

condition of my health, prudence forbids my

this method of addressing to you a short
communication, which you can dispose of as
YOU think best. fsgfy
Soon after the close of the war, the Union
soldiers of Western North Carolina, who had
exposed themselves to dangers equal to any
battle, in their efforts to reach their friends
of the Union, were honorably discharged,
and they returned home. They were made
to believe, after such great sacrifices for prin-
ciple-after having run the gauntlet through
Confederate details and scouts of most des-
perate character, and after having connected
themselves with, and fought in the Union
army, they would at least have been rewar
ded with full protection from the vindictive-
ness and persecution of conquered enemy.
Butwhat do we see The loyal people from
sections of the South are fleeing Northward
the whole unreconstructed States are in the
hands of the rebels The most bitter enc
mics of the Unionists have the framing and
executing of the laws. They, by these laws
and otherwise, are hunting down and perse-
cutting the Unionists and their friends. They

Shall we close our lips because Radicals do
not like urpolitics Monstrous argument!
Loyal to the government; ready to pour out
our blood like water for the old flag-we
shall continue to exercise the freedom of
speech, though such utterance should shake
the whole social and political element of the
North to its very centre - GOldsbor0' News.
The Editors of the Neus poured out SO
much of their blood under the Confederate
flag that they have none to spare for the old
flag. But they love the old flag. They do.
They love it as the spider does the fly, as the
kite does the dove, as Towser does the crab
when his nose is firmly inserted between its
claws.
The Editors say they intend to continue
to speak out, Though such utterance should
shake the whole social and political element
of the North to its very centre" We beg
the Editors to reconsider their determination
Such threat, proceeding from Goldsboro',
in such crisis, with the President reused
and on the defensive, with the Radicals
alert and at white heat, with the Fenians
ready to precipitate themselves on Canada,
and with the high tariff of one dollar in
gold per inch on the Atlantic Telegraph, is
likely to lead to some consequences as well
as Others. We beg the Editors to desist-
We are sorry we are not able to agree With
them precisely in politics, and so we do not
approach them on that score; but we appeal
to them on personal grounds not to carry out
the purpose they have avowed. Wesley !
Junius we appeal to you not to make such
an utterance" We know you love the old
flag as you understand it. But you do not
love it as our neighbors of the Sentinel do.
They like to see it in suitable places and at
suitable times, but their admiration for it is
so great that they can not trust themselves
to see it every day, and every where, or to
walk under it. They might lose their self
possession, and act ridiculously. Love the
flag, and pour out your blood for it if you
will as you did for the Confederate flag, but
do not-do not "shake the elements by
| those utterances.n The blackberry crop of
our State has not yet been entirely disposed
of in the Northern markets, and any imprrl-
dent "uttcrances' by you might seriously
affect the price Of that valuable staple. Be
persuaded, gentlemen.

Some of the partners no longer appear at the

bable that they ever will again. They not
only do not appear there to deliberate under

pear there at all. A new government of al

MOORE CATHOLIC BISHOPS. In the recent
Council of the Catholic Church held at Bal
timore, it is reported that twenty additional
Bishops were recommended, with an appoint

made public until the Pontiff, Pho Nino, has
revised and confirmed them, which can not
be done before next year.

Mr.. Cowles was very badly treated in por-
tions of the district, and his defeat may be
traced to the obloquy poured upon him be-
cause of his staunch Unionism He is q
thorough gentleman, of high intelligence,
and devoted patriot. The organ of Gov,
Worth called on the grand juries during the
campaign, to indict all such Union men as
Mr.. Cowles; and Mr.. Cowles was subjected
to insults and indignities by secession bullies
and towards, which intimidated his friends,
and prevented his election North-Carolina,
under Gov. Worth, is just as well prepared
to be admitted to the Union as she was un-
der Gov. Vance. Open the door and let her
in, ye Radicals. The unrepentant rebels who
speak for her, demand their rights. Mean
while they propose to amuse themselves by
indicting the unmistakably" loyal Union
lists Of the State. The organ of the Gov
ernor has so ordered, and of course it will be

From the best information we have we
