The Sentinel thinks it singular that a
"Governor elect should issue proclama-
ton, and thus perform the duties of a Gov
ernor de ,tacto. 1t is singular, but it is pro-
vided for by the act of Congress, and these
are singular times. The "Governor elect +"
knew what he was doing when he issued
this proclamation. He will be sustained by
Generals Grant and Candy.
On the 18th day of June, 1866, this Gov
ernor elect then Provisional Governor
issued his first proclamation. He issues his
second ON the 18th June, 1863, just three
years and three days later. We are "going
home now There is no doubt about it
this time. Let everybody be glad. Let the
hills and valleys rejoice, and let the noun
tain tops clap their hands for joy. -t

The rebels seem jubilant over alleged
but from fraud and rascality, we do not
know. There is about as much danger of
the Republicans losing South Carolina, as
there is of their losing Massachusetts,. The
State of Calhoun, Yancey and Rhett will
follow their counsels no more.

Grant and CoIfax Clubs.

We would suggest to our friends that they
organize Grant and Colfax Clubs, during the
ensuing month, in order to be ready for the
coming campaign.
These clubs can be formed at each County
seat, and acting under and with the Repub-
lican County Committees, catl meetings, pro-
vide speakers and distribute documents
Those who have musical turn, and are
members of the party, can enliven and en-
courage their friends by forming glee club
to sing patriotic songs and national airs, and
attend political meetings for this purpose.
The peaceful appliances of free thought,
free walk, free speech and free song, will be
enough to secure the Republican candidates
large majority in North Carolina. a4 aaH
When the Legislature meets Central
Grant Club should be organized at Raleigh.

DestitutiOn.

The destitution among the poorer classes
in North Carolina is still very great We
hope that some relief may be afforded by
our Northern friends.
Yet the fine growing season now smiling
upon us, almost drives away despair, and
eases the pangs ofhunger, for God is giving
to the poor out of his storehouse an abun-
dance After month or two more, when
the crops Of corn and fruit are being gather
ed, there will be grateful prayers to Heaven.
Verify our people have been afflicted, but
divine kindness and mercy .bave followed
close upon the heels of human misery. Let
us be hopeful and brave, and the dark days
will soon be overpast.
