The Cholera.

| None can deny our liability to visit from the
Cholera at any time. Many of the foreign ports
with which we have commercial relations in
fected with this terrible plague. Almost every
steamer and vessel which arrives at New York from
Europe but adds to the number of patients at the
quarantine that city. Our reports that
exists there in its most fatal FORM and two
have now been reported in the city itself.
Certainly these facts show that we can not be too
we'll prepared, nor begin too early, to take the
necessary precautions against the visitation of this
fatal monster. All opinions agree as to the point
that it finds it's most congenial home and does its
fearful work with most certainty, in those places
where cleanliness is not properly respected and
enforced. Every family should begin to set their
houses in order. The city authorities are compe
tent to make and execute sanitary regulations
within the bounds of their Jurisdiction, and we
record with pleasure the fact that they are doing
much in this matter and will do all in their power
but our citizens can aid them much, not only by
cheerfully acquieseing in all proper measures
adopted for this purpose but by promptly report
ing all negligence of others, in observing such reg
ulations may be prescribed.
But beyond the corporate limits of the city,
where our municipal authority does not extend, it
will be well for every family to that their prem
ises are cleaned and kept So if they would escape
the pestilence themselves, and avoid the great
crime of bringing disease and death to their neigh
bors.
We have read many articles upon the subject of
the cholera in our exchanges, but the following
directions gathered from communication from
DR.. Hamlin, the well known missionary of the
American Board at Constantinople, to the Port
land Christian Mirror, strikes us as most
worthy of consideration. The Dr. having been in
Constantinople during the prevalence of the dis
ease in that city, his eminent abilities added to
his large experience in nursing, has given him
peculiar opportunities of forming correct opin-
ion of the nature of the disease and the best mode
Of treatment. :...
He says: '-..-.
!" The cholera, which has just left us after COM
hitting fearful ravages, is making its way into
Europe, and win probably cross the Atlantic be-
fore another Summer has passed.
Having been providentially compelled to have
good degree of practical acquaintance with il, |

Davfs's Parole.

WASHINGTON, June g.
The Attorney General last night notified the
counsel of Jefferson Davis that they would be pre-
pared to-day to give them positive answer to their
application for parole in his case but at the pres
ent writing nothing has been done It is said that
majority of the Cabinet are in favor of his be-
ing paroled, and it was so far arranged that the
was $3.50, OOO
Those patriots who desire to see treason pun-
ishcd, will be gratifed that the head of the late
Confederacy is not to go free on straw-bail ten
dered by some "shoddy" contractor, class of
persons very sharply stigmatized in the Commo-
dores recent letter, acknowledging the receipt of
the gold medal and resolutions presented to him
by Congress, in return for the munificent Gift of
OF the steamer Yanderbuilt.

Governor Worth.

On our first page will be found an address
to the people of North Carolina, from Governor
Worth, announcing himself a candidate for re
election to the Office of Governor, in August next
| We have heard through rumor, the names Of
two gentlemen one of whom would probably be
the opponent of Gov. Worth. At the distance we
are from the Head Centre of cliques, caucuses
and conventions-R aleigh-we cannot tell what
is the condition of the political slate. This dc
know that our present Executive has performed
his arduous duties in the trying emergencies
| through which passing with marked
ability and, so far have heard,
with unanimous appreciation. Differing with
Gov. Worth in politics SO radically as we have, we
could not be expected, in every instance, to en-
dorse all he has done, but we must confess that
he has, by an honest and able administration of
his office and by regarding himself as the repre-
sentative of the people and not of party, in al
most every instance, met our unqualifedapproval,
and we to-day more convinced of his eminent
fitness for his exalted and responsible position,
than when we, in November last, cheerfully gave
him vote.
Gov Worth has, by an honest and straightforward
dealing with the administration at Washington,
done much to relieve our people, and we believe
ter civil condition than many other Southern sisters
We have less party divisions and our people, con-
scous that their welfare is in good and safe keep
ing are devotng themselves to the work of re-
trieving their former prosperity with commenda-
BILE zeal, and we hope they will not be drawn from
their great work by an exciting and useless cam
paign.
We fear there are ambitious men in our State,
who would sacrifice its peace and prosperity to
verse the decision of the people at the ballot-box
last Fall, and we will probably witness one of the
most exciting campaigns this Summer ever had
in North Carolina.
We will refer to this subject again.
Debates of the Convention.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. Edward CONG
land, of the delegates from the county of Hal
flax, has issued prospectus proposing "to pub
lish, in regular ORDER the proceedings of the Con-
vention allowing each member who really dis
cussed question, to report himself within rea,
sonable limits
Mr.. Conigland proposes to devote his close per-
sonal attention to this publication, and will issue
it at an early day. fla sufficient number Of copies
shall be subscribed for at SIS each TO justify the
undertaking.
Mr.. Conigland's qualifications for such work
are of the highest order. He ranks as one of the
brightest legal minds of the State, and is one of
the strongest and most eloquent debaters of the
Convention. His efforts upon the war debt of the
State and the status of the Judges, duringthe first
session of the Convention. are justly regarded as
the most able of the session.
We trust he viii receive the patronage the value
OF the work and the ability of the compiler will
deserve. We will gladly forward 10 Mr.. G. the
names of such persons as desire TO subscribe to
bis work.

COMPLAINTS of the Mails.

We have had numerous complaints recently OF
the failure of paper to reach its destination,
especially on the line of the Wilmington and Wei
don Railroad. A letter just received from Lees
burg in this county, informs us that the Journal
fails to reach that Office with any certainty OR reg
ularity The fault is not with us, as the paper
is always mailed in time. We trust our Post
master and Route Agents will give this matter
their early attention.

Debts Due by the Government to Citizens the
South.

Debts Due by Government to Citizens of the
South.
Some days since one of our merchants, who held
accounts against the Government, contracted byth
General in command of the United States Troops
stationed here, sent one of them on to the proper
department at Washington for payment The &C
count was properly authenticated, the receipt for
the articles by the commanding General being
attached.
% 1t was returned without payment, with the fol-
lowing endorsement ''This account having
arisen in North Carolina, State in instruction
prior to the suppression of the rebellion, this de-
partment, under the existing law and decisions
governing it, cannot approve it for payment until
Congress by appropriate legislation shall provide
therefor.
The following order from the War Department
was quoted to sustain this decision of the depart
ment:
c1ECULAR,l WAR DEPARTMENT.
ADJUTANT GENERALS OFFICE,
No. 81. Washington N0Uenlber q, 1861
The following opinion of the Chief of the Bureau of Mil
ay Justice upon the second and third sections of the act
OF Congress approved July 1864, restricting the juris
dlcon OF the Court of Claims, Is published for the nor
nation of all concerned -
Justify the action contemplated by the second and
third sections of of July 1861 only must the claim
ant be loys citizen but the claim also originate
not in rebellion being regarded as descriptive alike of
claim and claimant How far claims connected with the
suppression of the rebellion arising dsloya States then
at open with the Government, will be allowed is
question complicated with political other consider
atoms proper for the determination of Congress- that it
believed the executive administration should not assume
to act such claims without the cearest AUTHORITY con-
rred by law 1t is not supposed to have been the nten
ton of Congress to besow such authority by the re-
ferred to this Bureau for construction"
By order of the Secretary of War:
E. D. TOWNSEND,
assistant AdjutaN General
1t will thus be seen that persons in dis
loyal" States, cannot recover claims against the
Government although contracted for and certified
to, by the military commanders for supplies fur
nished to the armies of the United States, until
Congress shall provide therefor by appropriate
legislation. The tone and temper of the present
Congress towards the "disloyal" South, pre-
cludes "loyal and 'disloyal" citizens alike
from looking to that quarter for relief.
We had supposed that the General commanding
had the right to purchase supplies for his army,
and where citizen had been pardoned by the
amnesty proclamation of the President, or by
special lenity since, sufficiently purged of his
