Preparing for Another war.

~. We make the following extract from the
Wilmington Dispatch of the 18th of last
month - ~ KIN
1 "The peopleof the South are united, as
one man, in their opposition to the threaten
ing policy of Congress. They have felt the
influence of that life-giving power, freedom.
They cannot be made slaves through ignor-
| ance, they cannot be held in subsection to
tyranny. At the right time, If the President
of the United States stands firm in his pur-
pose to protect the Constitution, the check
| to the march of despotism and fanaticism
will be given by these forces combined
They aoiU drice the usu,pers from their seats Of
poaoer. They Will restore the Constitution of
our country. They will preserve free insti-
buttons to America. There can be no rea-
sonable doubt of the result. Already the
Southern people have given evidence of their
capacity as soldiers. With the North uni
ted against them, many of their own people
against them, no organized government to
commence with, no army, no navy, no re-
sources nothing to coalesce them but
principle, and on that thousands refusing to
stand, they kept up an uneven contest for
independence for four years with a valor I'M
exampled, a fortitude unparalleled, and
determination unexcelled. In this approach
ing conflict, for conflict there aoiU be If Congress
attempts to destroy the States they will have
nearly half of the North as allies, and will
be themselves united. There will be no room
for compromise after the first blow. There
can be no divisions of sentiment on the side
of Conservatism and freedom and Union
The Conservatives will be animated by the
most powerful considerations. They will
fight to the knife, and then to the hilt."
The Editor of the Dispatch has spoken in
the above for large majority of the rebel
leaders in this State. We tell the President
of the United States that Southern traitors
are ready to spring to his support, and to
eight to the knife. and the knife to the hilt,"
if he will only lead the way against the Con-
gress, the lawmaking power of the country.
We tell him they look to him and depend
upon him. He seems to be their only hope.
Vain hope! Andrew johnson is no traitor
He will never raise his arm against the law
tul Congress of his country. He scorns the
traitors who would thus use him. We feel
SIRE he does But it is unfortunate for his
tame, and it is source of modification to
his real friends every where, that these trail
tors are permitted without rebuke thus to
class him with themselves, and to count up
on him as an instrument to effect his coun-
trys ruin.

| and in assaIling the justice and magnanimi-
ty OF the general government. Such is now
our condition The. leaders referred to re
| fuse to accept the Howard amendment, or
any thing else that will deprive them of Of
fice.g They are opposed to the restoration of
the Union, because they know that before
the States can go back they must go out of
cal disunionlsts as they were when they were
in open arms against the government.
The eminent writer of the letter from
which we have made the above extract, says
our masses should assert their control over
their own affairs. But how are they to do
it2 All power has passed out of their hands
into the hands of the instigators and lead
ers of the rebellion. They are really as pow
erless now as they were during the rebellion.
Those of them who presume to appeal to
Congress for a reorganization of the State
governments, so as to remedy existing evils
by placing loyal men in power, are threaten
ed with the whipping-post and the pillory,
under State laws recently passed defining
treason against the State. And we do not
hesitate to express the opinion that if this
State should be restored to the Union as it
is, those who have advised reorganization
and labored to accomplish it, would be pros
ecuted and punished under State laws for al
legged treason against the State The logic
of all this is, CONGRESS MUST ACT
That body is the law-making power of the
country. All the work done by Provisional
Governors under the President, was subject
to the revision approval or rejection of the
Congress. Nothing was more clearly under
stood at the time than this. We know it to
be so. Congress has revised the action of
the insurgent States in forming new govern
ments and has rejected the results of that
action. The President is at the end of his
row. Congress must now act. Its duty is
plain. We shall have no repose, no perna-
nent governments in these States, no justice
to loyal whites or to blacks, and no prosper
ity in business, until that duty is performed.
Let it be performed promptly and thorough
ly. Every days delay is fraught with added
injustice to our loyal people, and with dam
ger to the nation.

Death of an EstimabIe Lady.

We announce with much pain the death
of that estimable lady, and " mother in Is
rael," Mrs. LUCINDA TUCKER, relict of Rufin
Tucker, Esq, long known as leading mer-
chant of this City. She expired on Tuesday
evening last, about 8 o'clock, after brief
illness. The deceased was universally be-
loved in this community. Her affectionate
disposition, her attachment to her family
and friends, her kindness to the poor, and,
above all, her sincere and unaffected piety,
were excellencies in her character the recol-
lection of which will long be cherished.
Her funeral will take place at the Epis-
copal Methodist Church, in this City, on
Friday next, at II o'clock, A. NJ.

from the Hendersonville Pioneer.
A New State.

Mr.. EDITOR According to previous ap-
pointment, a meeting was held at Refuge
Church, by citizens of Henderson county, for
the purpose of considering the propriety of
praying Congress to form Western North
Carolina in state, upon the basis of 10y
atty.
On motion of Thos Gibbs, Esq, Mai. L. J..
Pace was called to the Chair, and II. c. Gar
rem requested to act as Secretary.
The object of the meeting was explained
in appropriate remarks by s. T. Feathersten,
Esq.
By motion of J. NJ. Corn, Rev. N Bowen,
was called on for speech on the condition
of the mountain region of North Carolina
He responded at considerable length, show
ing very clearly that it is our interest, in
many respects, to be cut off from North Car
lima, and be formed into a separate State
Mr.. Bowen read, in connection with his
speech, petition to Congress which was
published in the ' Pioneer'' of the 1 18th inst
On motion, agreed that the Chair appoint
committee of five to draft resolutions for
the consideration of the meeting.
The Chair announced the names of n
Bowen, Thomas Gibbs, s. T. Featherston;G,
B. Johnston, and Joseph Taylor.
While the committee was preparing re-
port, the members of the meeting with great
zeal anu uuduiniIy, slSHeo the Eett1ioh W
Congress for a new State.
The committee reported, through their
chairman the following preamble and resolu-
tions
WHEREAS: Twenty months have elapsed
since the surrender, and every effort at resto-
ration to the Union has been defeated, main
ly through the votes and rebellious temper
of the Eastern portion of the State. And
WHEREAS, From the uniform course and
late message of our Governor, and the spirit
and actions of the State Legislature, we have
lost all hope Of being restored to our proper
er relations in the United States Govern
ment. Therefore,
Resoloed, 1st That we recommend the cit
liens of the Western portion of the State,
Immediately to petition Congress to allow US
to be formed into new State, on the basis
of loyalty.
Resoloed, 2nd, That for the sake of unifor-
nifty, and because its sets forth what we
want, we recommend the petition published
in the {" Pioneer" of December 18th, 1866.
Unanimously adopted.
By motion, agreed to have the proceedings
published in the 6 Pioneer"
Adjourned sine die, December 14th, 1866.

Is North Carolina State ?-Sentinel.

Certainly she is, so far as her name and
boundaries are concerned. But President
! johnson holds that she lost her government
by rebellion, and, as commandment chief of
the army and navy, he enabled her to form
another government, subject to the accep-
lance or rejection of the making power,
that is the Congress. The Congress, after
mature reflection, determined to reject this
new government set up under martial law
1t had the right to accept, and it had the
right to reject. If it had accepted, all in
formalities or irregularities in the work of
| re organization under the President would
have been cured, and the State, by being adj
mtted to representation in Congress, would
have been placed again on the same footing
with New York and Ohio.
But, as Congress has thought proper to
pursue this course, it follows that the present
State organizations are simply de .tacto in
their character, and do not exist de jure, or
of right; and Congress will, therefore, in due
time take the necessary steps to supersede
them, By permitting all the loyal people,
white and black, to form new government
preparatory to the admission of the State to
its former position and privileges in the
Union.
But Judge Ruffin holds-and Judge Ruff
fin is in high favor with Gov. Worth and the
SentineL-that the State did not lose its
government by the rebellion that, therefore,
its old officers are still entitled to their places
and that the President, in recognizing the
State, acted the part of usurper and despot.
This is Judge Ruffin's view. He regards the
State as not only {" a State," but as rebel
State In one sense we think he is right
With its present organization it as much
rebel State as it was when Gov. Vance i'm
prisoned women and children to punish them
for their Union principles, and when the hor-
rible CONSUMPTION forced thousands of our
best men, in ropes and handouts, to suffer
ing, battle, and death.
By the way, it seems to us the President of
the United States exhibited remarkable con-
descenson in receiving and conversing with
Judge Ruin, when the latter visited Wash
ington with Gov Worth in relation to that
whipping business. The Judge, with Gov.
Worth, had been conspicuous in the work of
defeating the presidents plan' in this
State, and the former had characterized the
President (under whose hand and seal he
held his pardon as traitorO as despot and
usurper Verify, our worthy President is
& long suffering and slow to anger"

who are abusing and villifying us, and those
poor towards who are writing us anonymous
letters, have mistaken their man if they sup
pose they can intimidate us or move us from
our purpose. We have seen hotter times
than these. The writer of this has iron In
his blood. Our purpose is to restore the I'm
ion on loyal basis, and we intend, as one
citizen, to see that it is done at all hazards.
No matter who opposes or who stands In
the way, the Union must be restored Rebels
and traitors have had their day, and an
awful day it was In the first place, they
ruined the country by involving it in WAL
In the second place, they have refused to aid
in restoring the country, by rejecting both
the Presidents plan and the Howard amend
ment. They must now stand aside, and let
the loyal people, without regard to color, do
the work. And they are going to do it.
Congress is going to help them do it. Con-
gress makes the laws, and the President ex-
ecutes them. Congress is the Court, and the
President is the High Sheriff. That is all.
The enemies of the Union may rage but
we do not regard them. We do not fear
them. The day approaches when they will
get their just deserts. The Union will be re-
stored in spite of them, and they will be re-
quired to take and keep the places-that is,
the obscure back seats"-which the loyal
people of the country will assign them. The
public good requires that they should be
politically muzzled aud silenced.

Return of the Mississippi Commissioners

Gen. Robert Lowry, one of the Commissioners
to Washington to interpose in behalf of Mr. Davis,

WINGED that the day of Mr.. Davis liberation is still
far distant"
We had the pleasure last evening of an inter
view with Maj. Hillyer. He agrees substantially
with the report of Gen. Lowry, as stated by tne
Clarion. Maj. Hillyer visited Mr.. Davis at FOR.

his long and weary confinement, and bears hlnl,
