Is Your Name on the Rolla


There are Union men in the South who
ydecline to unite themselves to the Republi-
csn party. and yet declare they are the best
Unionists among u.s. They are fretted if
their Unionism is questioned. Well now,
gentlemen, the Republican party is the
Union party, and there is no other party in
the country. Let us put case A man vol
unteers for twelve months in the Union
army He fights through his twelve months,
but declines to re-enlist. Such q man has
been soldier, but he can not claim now to
belong to the army. 1t is so with the Re-
publican party. The best evidence that a
man is q Unionist is to see him in the Re-
publican ranks. He can do but little if any
good if he is not in the ranks. 1t is very
we'll to point to his scars as volunteer, and
to say he is true; but the conflict is still go
ing on, and the name of every soldier should
be on the roll, 80 that, when called to the post
Of duty, he can at once respond and go for
ward, and by his conduct prove his fidelity.
Is your name on the roll of the Republi-
can party9 If really Unionist, and your
name is not on the roll, put it there at once.
Those who are ashamed of the Republican
party in the day Of its weakness in North
Carolina, will be forgotten by it in the day
Of its power.

A False Report Corrected.

We learn from friend at Asheville that
person of distinction, who has recently WIS.,
tied Raleigh and returned to that place, has
started the report that a "serious split" has
taken place in the Republican party in Ra-
leigh-that Messrs. Pool, Moore, Settle and
Others, had broken off from the party and
declared they did not belong to it, &c.
1t is hardly necessary to say that there is
no foundation for this report. If Mr.. Moore
has given in his adhesion to the Republican
party, or if he belongs to it, we do not
know 1t. We should be glad to have his aid
as member of the party. But there are no
sounder Republicans in the State than Mr..
Pool and Mr.. Settle. They are both men,
bers of the Republican State Committee,
and will both doubtless be present at the
September Convention.
The person referred to should be careful
how he scatters reports. He is known to
be thoroughly rebellious, however, and what
he may say against Republicans will be ta-
ken with many grains of allowance.
There is no split, and there will be none in
the Republican party in this State. The
Convention of the 4th September will be a
harmonious body. Weknow ofno disposition
among Republicans to foment discord and
strife in the party; but if there should be,
those attempting it will be instantly blasted
by the indignation of the loyal masses. The
State must be restored to the Union before
this time next year. The Republican party
can alone do this work. Il is going to do it.

D. g. McRAE, EsQ.-We are gratifed to
be able to state that mol. pros. has been en-
tered as to this gentleman, and he has been
discharged from custody by the military
court now in session in this City. We felt
sure from the first that Mr.. McRae was inno-
cent of the charge on which he was arrested.
The sympathies Of his large circle Of strong
ly attached friends have been greatly reused
in his behalf, and it affords us much pleasure
to chronicle the fact of his discharge from
custody with no shadow upon his name.
In connection with this case we heard of
an incident a day or two since, creditable
alike to the witness and to the friend for
whose benefit the sacrifice was made. Dun
can Mccormick, Esq, OF Cumberland, who
is 72 years of age, was summoned to appear
before the Court as an important witness for
Mr.. McRae He received the notice on the
oath, to attend on the 25th. He felt that he
ought to be here on the 25th, and SO he
started on foot and walked ffty-two miles,
reaching Raleigh on the 25th before the
Court opened. Such proof of friendship
and devotion to duty deserves TO be recorded
and remembered.

Oaths Of omce.

We give below the oath taken by Jonathan
Worth when he was inaugurated as Governor
of North Carolina
II, Jonathan Worth, do swear that as
Governor of the State of North Carolina, /
will execute the duties of that important
office without favor or affection. agreea6ly to
tho Constitution and Laws " the State, and
according to the best of my skill and ability.
So help me, God"
A Justice of the Peace, among other
things, swears:
THAT will not delay any person of COM
mon right, by reason of any letter or order
from any person in authority to me directed,
or for any other cause whatever; and if any
letter or order come to me, contrary to l1w, 1
will proceed to enforce the Ian, such letter or
order notwithstanding"
Every member of the Legislature takes an
oath tosupport the Constitution of the State ).
and every officer of the State, from the low
est to the highest, is sworn to enforce the
laws Of the State.
But the military is supreme. The Gov
ernor can do nothing without permission of
the commanding General He is sworn to
discharge the duties of his Office agreeably
to the Constitution and laws of the State;
yet the commanding General sets aside these
laws, and makes new ones whenever he
chooses. Indeed, zoe hace no State Constitu-
tion. President johnson himself declared
that we lost our old Constitution by rebell-
ion, and the Constitution framed by the Con-
vention under the provisional government,
soas roted doson. But Gov. Worth and his
partizans claim that we haue Constitution.
He swears to support it, but breaks his oath
by obeying every hour the orders of the
commanding General, which are in direct
violation of the provisions of that instru-
ment.
What is the remedy2 The remedy is for
the State officers to resign, and let their
places be filled by persons who will be re
quired to take no such oaths, and who will
be responsible alone to the military for their
action

FERTrLIzERs.-We have been told by
some farmers that the fertilizers they bought
in the Spring-guano for instance did
their crops no good, whilst Others are graft

of suggesting that the fertilizers used, by
some persons may have been adulterated, in

South.Carolina.

It appears that W. ]. Armstrong, ESQ.,, of
Washington City, and J. @. Thompson, Esq,
Reporter for the New York Herald, were
murderously assaulted on the night of the
29th, in Columbia, S. c., in the Nlckerson
House, on account of their participation in
the Republican Convention. Both gentle
men made speeches before the Convention.
No words passed between the parties before
the assault, and not shadow of provoca-
tion was given. Two of the assailants are
of our first families, and are violent Rebels.
No fatal injuries were sustained by the par
ties assailed. Gov. Orr was present during
the last of the riot, and advised peace by
urging the assailed to retire to their rooms.
Radcliffe, the most prominent assailant, is a
brother of the Chief of Police. The rioters
were boisterous till near midnight, when
they were arrested and Immediately liberia
ted on bail Gen. Burton, Post Comman-
dant. was appealed to this morning. He
has the rioters now under military arrest
The civil authorities are pleading for the
prisoners and promising that they shall be
punished. The colored people are in a high

REMOVAL OF GEN. SHERIDAN The rebel
paWrs are calling for the removal of this
gallant officer. and the signs in the papers
are that the President may yield to this call.
The removal of Gen. Phil Sheridan would be
the great event of the day. Win the Presi-
dent risk it2 Will Gen. Grant see it done
without an earnest protest against it Gen.
Sheridan is already fayarite with millions
Of our loyal people, and his removal would
create an enthusiasm for him which would
probably seat him in the Presidential chair.
To remove Gen. Sheridan would be to ignore
and insult the great mass Of the loyal people
of this nation. We repeat, is the President
bold enough, or reckless enough to risk it ?

We have all been looking with much in
terest for the news from the election in Ten
nessee. Our copy Of tho Ssnt;nsl contains
the following dispatch:
MEMrHIs, Aug. 1, 4. p. N.
So far the election has progressed quietly,
and there is no fear of disturbance. Moth
ing as to the result can be learned"
We were told in advance that g Brown
low and his minions" were going to carry
the election by the bayonet, and skilln or
"markn all the disunionists. The most
bloody visions aoated in the imaginations Of
the leading disunionists But 10, the elec-
ton is nearly over in that hotbed Of treason,
Memphis, and there is no fear Of distur-
bance." No one has been shot, or marked,
or killed. What . wonder
Then, /" nothing a. to ths result can b learn
ed." That means that the Brownlow patri-
OTIS shave carried the State. Mr.. Gobright has
long face. Mr.. Gobrght is in distress. Mr.
Gobright can hear nothing as to the rssult.r
Unhappy Gobright.
We take it for granted the Republicans
have carried Tennessee BY q large majority.
This insures the continuance of peace aud
prosperity in that State. 1t would have
been an awful calamity to every good citizen
in that State if it had been carried by the
disunionists. In that case, in less than six
months white Union men and colored men
would have been shot like rabbits or hanged
like dogs. The scenes at Memphis and
Franklin would have been re-enacted in
every part Of the State. The account we
publish to-day of the conduct Of the Regu-
lators in Kentucky, shows what would be
the fate of the people of Tennessee and
North Carolina, if they should unfortunately
pass permanently into rebel hands. It is
written that an "angel flying through the
midst of heaven" cried with loud voice,
"Wo, wo, wo, to the inbabiters of the earth,
by reason of the other voices of the trumpet
of the three angels, which are yet to sound"
We might not hear that warning angel, but
we would see and feel the awful consequen-
ces of unblidled rebel rule From such fate
may merciful God deliver our people

are sure he does, he will find none in this
rebel Legislature. There are few good
men in it, but eight months ago some of
these were summoned before Committees
and rudely interogated on charges of trea-
son and sedition, because they had asked
Congress to pass the reconstruction acts ];
and they were also threatened, in debate,
with the pillory and whipping-post, for the
same offence! This is a pretty body to re-
assemble at this time to make laws for a
loyal people

Every man is marked, if not killed, who
stands in the way of Brownlow and Radical
ism.-Sentinel.
What whopper! There are some forty
thousand anti -Brownlow men in Tennessee.
Every one of them who is not killed, is
marked! Does the Sentinel suppose its
readers will believe such nonsense2
The only killing we have heard of IN
Tennessee was at Memphis and Franklin,
with the exception of the picking of, every
day OF two, of some Unionist by some BUSH
whacker. At Memphis, the disunionists
and anti -Brownlow men amused themselves
for hours by killing loyal people. We be-
lieve they have never been punished for it.
These traitors did the same thing recently
at Franklin. This is the killing that de-
lights the Sentinel. It would like to have
it become general, and therefore its efforts
to infame the great body of the whites
against the Union whites and the colored
people.

The Richmond Court of Hastings has re-
piled in high toned Virginia manner to
General Schofeld's inquiry by what rule of
law they sentenced school teacher to fine
of $3.50 and Imprisonment for thirty days,
for Furnishing boy who disturbed the
school, while the elder brother of the boy,
who committed an aggravated assault on the
teacher was dismissed with penalty of one
cent. They reply that there never was q
time when Virginia Court would convict a
Virginian for assaulting ateacher for punish
ing a boy; and we suppose they mean also
that there never was a time when Virginia
Court would not fine and imprison North
ern teacher for Furnishing son Of Virginia.
That is the Virginia mode of getting back
what they pay the teacher, with interest It
is likely that General Schofield win give
