to call coavsntion in May to take North
Carolina bsck to the United States, and the
agitation has already begun. Resolutions
advocating this course were prepared few
days ago in the Standard Office, and sent to
johnson County to be passed at public
meeting next week and a seriesof meetings
are to be held all ove- the State"
These resolutions were not prepared inthe
Standard Office They were written by Hon.
J. T. Leach, and submitted to Gov. Vance,
whoapprovcd them. We have DR.. Leach's
word for it, publicly gwen in this paper,
and also in his Appendix to the life OF D.
z. McRae'']
"For any cause now existing. or likely to
exist, l can never consent to this course.
"Never. But if it should be inevitable,
and be unable to prevent it. as have no
right to suppose could, believing that it
would he ruinous alike to the State and the
Confederacy, producing war and devasta-
ton at home. and that it would steep the
name of North Carolina in infamy, and make
her memory reproach among TIVE nations,
it is my determination quietly to retire to
the army and find death which will enable
my children to say that their father was not
consenting to their degradation. This may
sound little wild and romantic-to use no
stronger expression-but it is tor your eye
only"
The Governor did not redeem this wild
and romantic" pledge-but is still in the en-
joyment of robust health.

Or live when he should Gle"

THE ACTIVE FORCE OF THE ARMY.--The

district, General w. S. Hancock. Fifty three
posts and one hundred and four companies;
making total of one hundred and thirty
five posts and two hundeed and sixty three
companies Averaging each company at
seventy men, gives force of over eighteen
thousand
In the other departments the following

MIR. HOLMAN OF BEAUFORT.-lne course
this gentleman, has seen fit to pursue since
his entry into the radical troupe at Raleigh
IL such as to entirely separate him from the
great mass of his friends who hitherto took
pride in his acknowledged abilities, and
who now regret that the hope of personal
and political ACKNOWLEDGMENT could thus in
duce him to torswear all his old principles
and cast himself,bndy and soul, into the
ranks of the most ultra radicals Of the Con-
yention.
That he has done so; that he is now re-
garded as an acknowledged leader of the
Republican party in this State, will not he
denied. Upon the most trivial as we'll as
the most important questions his vote has
been most invariably cast with the republic
cans, and he stands to day before the people
of North Carolina as political apostate of
the deepest dye. unworthy the confidence
and respect of any portion ola party he has
SO shamclessly deserted.
The hope of seat upon the Supreme
Court Bench, as reorganized by the party in
power, has proved too powerful for the poll
teal integrity of Mr.. Rndman, and to this
motive can be easily traced his present apos-
tacy.
1nlS TACT Is apI'dTctiI VI all, anu us huoWi-
edge sounds the death knell to whatever in
luence and power Mr. R. may have hitherto
possessed in this section of the State.
1t is to be expected that he will soon take
the stump, in advocacy of the adoption of a
, Constitution, which a Convention, evoked
by Military rule and upheld by hayonets. is
ordered to present to the people of North
Carolina for ratification or rejection
This Convention we tell the people of
North Carolina is unconstitutional, illegal
and without shadow of authority, and con-
sequenty all its acts partake of the same
character No true Southern man can en-
dorse it. without forever frfeiting all claim
/ for consistency, and its defence by Mr. Rod
/ man can neither further its adoption. or re
instate that gentleman in the confidence OF
his fellow Marlborough SOutheSnor

Unlonist, General George w. Logan, was
nominated. The following were the more

The following is the resolution:
Resotoed. That we desire to hold our
selves guiltless of shedding one drop of
blood beyond that which is necessary to Sc
curing an honorable peace with our enemies !;
and to that end, we desire to make known
to the fair minded mind of the North, Wis,
have recently on various occasions expressed
willingness for amicable conference, that

will cIieerfully respond to their wishes and
reciprocate their sentiments, believing. it QUE

Six months afterwards Gov. Vance said to
the soldiers boys, fight till hell freezes over,
and then fight on the ice," :" fight until
you I'll hell SO full Of yankees, that their
| feet will stick out of the windows" SC.
Two months before that he wrote as tel

TEE PRESIDENTS INTENTIONS CORES
pondent of the New York Ecening Post
writing from Washington under date o
February 3, gives an account of an interview
had with the President on Sunday evening
The President expressed his intention
nominating a successor to COMMISSIONS
Rollins, which he has since done. Will h
he equally exact in the fulfilment OF the IN
tentiOn he announced to this writer, whit
says:
In reply to question by your correspon
dent, as to what course he would take II
case the Senate refused to take any action Oh
the nomination made in place of Mr.. Rollins
and laid it on the table, the President salt
he should probably then be compelled II
makea dire removal OF Rollins, although
this would be in cnntravention of the ten
ure-ofofficc law. and would undOubtedl.
cause new agitation of the Impeachment
question.
He said the time had arrived when he wa
either compelled to ignore the Constitution
itself or an act of Congress clearly uncon
stitutional and it was not his purpose II
hesitate, although impeachment be threat
ened.
The President has heretofore given utter
ance to similar revolutionary sentiments, i
he has l,een correctly reported by correspon
dents whom he has honored with confiden
tial conversations as to his future plans, Blu
thus far there has been in his conduct mucl
more bark than bite. We do not seriousl!
object to his barking, because We have Ions
since given up all hope that he can be in
spired with proper conception of the sor
of department which harmonizes with tht
proper dignity of the Presidential office
but should he attempt to go tuther and exc
cute the design above expressed, he will pro
baby find that that Impeachment is some
thing more than mere threat held over hi:
head in terrorism" He certainly will de
serve to find it stern reality, if he assumes
the right to nuilify law constitutionally
passed by Congress- We scarcely think
however, that his present threat means any
more than those in which he has heretofore

Plant Trees and Flowers.

Plant Trees, for fruit, shelter, fences,
farms, buildings, railroads'an landscapes
for, comfort, profit, pleasure, ornament and
civilization generally What luxury to
plant the little seeds, and wateha tho tiny
plants that soon become our children the
faithful, noble friends companions of sorrow,
partners in grief, and welcome associates in
moments of, pleasure--emblems of gratitude
-mcmontoes Of tho past aud hopes of tho
future. When the old man with'wintry locks
was asked why he planted trees, which ho
could never see mature, he replied that some
one planted trees for him, aud he would plant
for gratitude, that posterity might reap the
reward. What lofticr, better, moro enduring
scptimc Years ago, uppics ana peaches
were considered luxury-now they arc q
necessity. There can be DO good farm with
out them, Ten years ago, you might have
commenced an orchard that to day would pay
you a hundred dollars, besides health aud
pleasure, but you would not. Begin now--
ten years more will pass as swiftly as tho last.
If you don't live to enjoy them, your children
may. There is an orchard in Illinois;of 100
trees, only ono acre, now 36 years old, %hat
pays the owner annually more than tho r,
naming 90 acres. One farm of twenty acres
in New Jetsy, this year ffetted its owner over
$4,000. Another one of Is acres, has real
lied over $1,000. Plant trces, friends, phi
lanthropists, lovers of mcn-the rewards arc
pcronnial-cvcr blooming; tho pleasure incf.
fably sweet. Nature becomes moro beau
tiful, and man grows bottcr. Trees con-
meet us with the past and the future. Men
of tho South, plant trees! Plant them now
plant for proft-plant for'shade- plant for
beauty-plout for plcasuro--plant for tho
prcscnt--plant for the future Don't say
you can't, when you know you oan. Think
how easy it is to cover the vine-clad hills and
mcandcring valleys with beautiful troos, laden
with fruits of paradise easy to have
