False Names.

The application of the epithet
''rebel' and 'srebel sympathizer" to
either of the great political parties or
sections of this country, can never be
used by an intelligent writer or
speaker without a consciousness that
it is false, and without a contempt of
the understanding of those to whom
it is addressed. Is there any one in
this country who defies or seeks to
overthrow the authority of its Go
vernment? IF not, there are no
rebels here. Wien {. rebellion is put
down in other parts of the world
even in Russia the conquerors cease
to speak of the party subjugated as
rebels. IF there were. no other
reason, their pride of victory would
prevent them from conceding, by the
use of such an expression, that they
had failed to put down resistance to
the authority of their Government.
If that is not whit the radicals mean
by the use of the term, let them en-
ploy language that conveys what they
do mean. There are no rebels in
this country now, meaning by that
term men who resist the authority of
the United States. There are plenty
of men, however, including probably
large majority of the whole popu-
lation, who are rebels in the radical
sense; that is, men who do not be-
ieve in radicalism. But what an
insult, exclaims the Baltimore San,
it is to our country to call that rebel
lion, thereby stigmatizing the greater
portion of the American people as
rebels and traitors, while only a
choice minority, kept faithful by
free access to official fesh-pots, are
loyal and true. ,,a

ID. The state OF the African, in

negroes was regarded military ne
cess; -, and President Lincoln based
the act upon that ground.

pated her serfs.

ARMNG THE LOYAL MILITIA
bill authorizing the distribution of
arms to the loyal militia in the
Southern States, caused warm de-
bate in Congress. The real object of
the ninth section, Senator Davis sur
missed, was to put arms into the
hands of the radical Governors in
the South, for the purpose of carry
ing their States for that ticket.
Such O measure as arming the black
militia of the South, while the whites
are comparatively defenceless, in
connection with q long series of
oppressive and irritating acts, led
Mr.. Davis to say, also, that it looked
to him as if there was a deliberate
purpose to force war of races. AS
there is never wanting pretext with
those who mediate the commission
of monstrous crimes, the most exag-
gerated stories are related of the
murder of ''loyal' men in the South,
while nothingis said of the at least
equally numerous assassinations of
conservatives. That exceedingly re-
fined and dignifed Senator, Mr..
Drake, whose language in the Senate
chamber seems to show such an ole
vated appreciation of the position
he occupies, and the presence in
which he speaks, said: "There were
no such men outside of hell as the
rebels, and the only way TO deal with
them was to crush them" The real
offence Of the South is, that she has
submitted to the results Of the war
in good faith, instead of giving the
pretext that was desired by her
extreme enemies for confiscation and
determination. Do they wish now
to goad the South into resistance, in
order to consummate cherished hopes
and plans?

WHAT Is COMING. The impression
is becoming stronger here every day
that the country is about to pass
through a much more trying ordeal
than was the war of the rebellion.
AS an evidence of the deep feeling
here, it can be stated that an ex-ge-
neral of the Federal army, now in
business here, gave it as his solemn
conviction, that before the close of
year from this date, death by hang
ing will be Witnessed within the
walls of the capitol. If the schemes
concocted by the Jacobins, by which
to seize upon the Government, be
attempted to be put into execution,
Generel says he confidently
expects to see members Of Congress
hung in their respective chambers
rs the surest meanso of arresting the
revolution and saving the country.

DEAR SIR: Emboldened by that
warm interest which you have mani
tested in organizing a Southern De-
m ocracy, I would most respectfully
submit the following queries for
answers; knowing, also, that you
would not, in answering them, ex-
perience material Inconvenience:
What are the principles of the Re-
publican party? Whence was it
originated? Who are its present
leaders? Its probable strength,
North and South? The probable re-
suit, should that party triumph?
Apply the same to the Democratic
party.
&, Also, what are its main objects?
What the condition of the negro, if
this party predominate? What the
public and private character of Sey-
mour, the Democratic nominee?
What that of the Republican? What
the number of slaves? What the
number of freedmen a,o,o in the South?

et2 What is the state of the African
in his native country? What mostly
led to the emancipation of slaves2
Were the Russians remunerated for
the loss of their serfs? In the event
of war, what would probably be
the relative forces arrayed by the
two parties?
/! have but recently stepped in the
political arena, constrained by busi-
ness that consumed all my time.

ed at this place; and hope that you,
in replying to the questions pro-
pounded, may be but pushing on
that great work, for which our State
is in q great measure indebted to
you. Most respectfully, yours,

Republican, Address.

It was unanimously resolveol'at a meeting
Of the Republican members Of the Legisla-
tilre that the address" which we published
in our last should be published as the aAd-
dress ofthe Republican members of the Leg
islature to the people of North Carolina,
And it was also unanim ously agreed that the
members names be signed to the Address.
About three hundred dollars were taken ND
in FIVE dollar subscriptions. In attaching the
names of members to thesAddress, only, those
names were taken down which were on the
subscription lists. An error OF two in names
crept in, which will be corrected before
the Address is published in pamphlet form.
AS. the Address was agreed upon only, few
days before the adjournment, many Repubs
licans were absent, whose names would be
attached if they had been present. 1t is
unnecessary to say that the Address express
es the views Of every Republican in North
Carolina. g.

this order is being rapidly organized in ev-

and.we are happy, from personal examin-
alton of the official records, to be able to
assure our friends that although the opera
ations Of the order are conducted noslessly
and without any parade or display, that
there are, about seventy thousand enrolled
members, under a perfect system Of organ
ization, extending from the Eastern to the
Western boundaries Of the State, and from
Virginia to the South Carolina line. The
great secret and object of the League is to
maintain the laws and preserve the PEACE.

North Carolina is as fully in and of the

unanimity and heartfelt interest animates oRr
entire ranks, and that we will not lose man
who voted with us in the last election, and many
who voted the Conservative ticket have declared
for Grant and Colax, being satisfied that the
nominees Of the Democratic party are reyoin-
tionary and dangerous men. Democracy is

AN ITEM FOR BACHELORS

An ITEM FOR BACHELoRs.-A
judicious wife is always snip
ping off from her husbands ma
ture little twigs that are grow
ing in a wrong direction. She
keeps him in shape by contin-
ually pruning. Ifyou say any
thing silly she will affection
ately tell you so. IF you de-
clare you will do some absurd
thing, she will find some means
of preventing your doing it.
And by far the chief part of all
the common sense there is in
this world belongs unquestion-
ably to woman. The wisest
things man commonly does
are those which his wife coun-
sells him to do. A wife is the
grand wielder of the moral
pruning knife. If Johnson's
wife had lived there would
have been no boarding up Of
orange peel, no touching all
the post in walking along the
street-no eating and drinking
with a disgusting voracfty. Ii
Oliver Goldsmith had been
married he never would have
worn that memorable and rid
iculous coat. Whenever you
find a man whom you know
little about oddly dressed or
talking absurdly, or exhibiting
an eccentricity of manner, you
may be tolerable sure that he
is not a married man; for the
corners are rounded Off-the
little shoots are pruned away
lin married men. Wives gem
orally have more sense than
their husbands, especially when
their husbands are clever men.
The wife's advices like the bal
last that keeps the ship steady;
they are the wholesome, though
painful shears, nipping off little
growths of self-conceit. n gag
