tatest Tfewa. The masses are on the '-fdi vhe for stirring news. Evry body is anxious to hear, strange to of a bloody battle. But neither 1 telegraphs nor mails will bring any tidings of that sort For a full month our troops have been on the eve of a battle at half a dozen points, but as yet no fields have been drenched in blood in that period. In Missouri, the Confederates are in fine spirits, and strengthing their positions daily.

The arrWal of Gen. A. SL Johnston in command in the West, fills the entire valley of Southern Mis-sissippi with hope. Kentucky promises to be an early battle-ground. Gen.

Bucknerhas taken the field in the Confederate service. He was within 40 miles of Louisville with a large force. Arrests have commenced. Ex-Gov. Morehead of that State, is said to have been arrested.

The Louisville Courier had been suppressed. A battle is reported near Muldraugh's Hill, in which it is said 800 Confederates had succeeded in driving 1,300 Federalists from the Bill. Nothing of aDy forward movement has been heard of Gen. Lee in the Valley. The rumor of the capture of Gen.

Reynolds has not been confirmed. Gens. iViseand Floyd were expecting an attack from Rosencrantz. It was hoped reinforcements would reach them before attacked. The army of the Potomac has advanced nearer the river.

Skirmishes are daily occurring. Gen. The Hyde County Rumor. Since the issue of the test Standard, we have conversed with a friend, an intelligent citizen of Hyde, wbojnforms us that the rumor which has been so industriously circulated in different portions of the State and which we" published in our last, does great injustice both to Hyde and to Dr. Selby.

Our article was intended to pat Hyde county right before the public, and to show that the people of Hyde proper were not untrue to the South and to the State, and'that they were a very diSerent people from those who lived on the banks. But as that damaging rumor was afloat, and doubting some of its particulars, we thought it best to notice it, in order that it might be corrected if untrue, or if truer that it might be exposed. This is no time to parley with our dastard, despotic foe, nor to smother up the conduct of those who are opposed to the South among us, if there be any, or to pander to any who from sheer fear, would submit tamely to Lincoln. Those who are not for us are against us. That has been our position from the first.

Our friend received his information from a gentleman who attended the public meeting in Hyde. And he stated that a committee of safety had been appointed, of which perhaps, Dr. Selby was chairman. That at the before mentioned meeting, the Doctor presented a series of resolutions from said committee, setting forth the imminent dangerof that section, and suggesting such a prudential course, as would most likely shield them from attack in their unarmed and defenceless condition. One of the resolutions was considered by some to manifest too much of a submissive or truckling spirit, and Mr.

Beckwith denounced it as cowardly, when an altercation took place between him and Dr. Selby, which was however, at once suppressed by the interference of friends. The resolution we are assured was unacceptable to the meeting, but no one believed for a moment that the "Doctor or any one else there, was wanting in fidelity to the South. This is just what we believed before of the people of Hyde, as we do of the entire East, except those benighted people who live on the banks and islands, who are in a peculiarly exposed condition. The Mooke County Rifles.

This company num Our Unpaid Regiments. An intelligent and highly respectable gentleman who resides in the western part of the State, just from a visit to the 6th regiment of N. CL voldnteers, at Valley 'Town, Randolph county, gave us a (ew days ago, a most lamentable account of their condition. He says he found them subsisting on coarse flour bread and fresh beef without salt without bacon or the necessary condiments to make their bread and beef palatable or nourishing. They were withoutmoney, not having received a dollar of their wages, except their bounty.

Many of them were barefooted in that cold, rocky country. He found 17 of th "Burke Tigers" without shoes, and the gentleman; went to a neighboring towr. and had them made for them. Their surgeon, a benevolent, kind-hearted man was without medicines, and having long been out of the practice, seemed unprepared to manag their diseases. Their situation was distressing, and with no prospect of speedy improve-, tnent.

In this regiment there are 12 companies composed of as brave, robust and efficient a class of soldiers as our army can boast, and led by such men as Capts. Champ. Davis, Shipp, Stowe, Kirksey and others. And yet this fine regiment is rendered partially inefficient by the neglect of the government to pay them their waees. An officer in Col.

McRae's regiment writing to a friend, says, "Our regiment is a source of pride to us. A more uncomplaining, contented, patient, enduring set of men I have never seen. They have been more exposed have suffered from severe illnesshave had fewer tokens of regard, (for except the box you sent them) no comforts have been sent to them as a regiment. Many of them are barefoot and they stood in the ranks to day without a shoe, ready to march to meet the enemy, and they have never received a dollar of pay though they have been in service since April, and yet they are subordinate, willing, obedient, and brave. I say it in no boasting way, but in justice to our men, that man is a hue calumniator who questions their courage.

You may quate what 1 say about the regiment and send it to Holden, who seems to be the soldiers' friend." Well said, and what this writer says ot the 5th regiment of N. C. State troops as to their courage, is true of all our troops and volunteers. Wc learn that Mrs. MeRae is doing all she can for thjs fine regiment, and that she has now a large contribution prepared for it, consisting of socks, Party! Party! Why is it that in the midst of a bloody war waged for the very existence of the State a war in which, if we.Tail, all is -lost; and at a time, when every heart should pulsate as one heart that many of our best and wisest men are rigidly and constantly excluded from the councils of the State and nation, and by our State authorities from the public service Mr.

Branch and Mr. Davis and others men surfeited with office, it seems are very proper persons to be sent to confer with the Confederate government at Richmond, or to fill other important positions pet-men, sometimes filling two or more offices of trust and profit at the same time, but the State, now in imminent hazard, stands in no need of the services of such men as. Ruffin or Badger, Brown or Graham, Reid or Morehead, Walter F. Leake or Rayncr, Edwin G. Reade or R.

P. Dick, Jesse G. Shepherd or John Pool, Gilmer or William Eaton, and a host of others 1 Indeed the tried men of the State men whose ability, wise fore-caste and great prudence, have secured them the confidence of the people, like the above-named, and such men as Thomas Bragg, David Outlaw, Alfred Dockery, Anderson Mitchell, John R. Gilmer, and others, are put under the ban, to give place to others faster men we suppose, mere politicians or rampant original secessionists of far less weight' who are to sit in the high seats of the synagogue. And is it true that the late Military Secretary of the late Military Board, the head and front of the inefficiency and insecurity of our sea-coast defences, is to be one of the trusted counsellors of Gov.

Clark Is the ship of State to be steered by men whose pilotings will scarcely pass muster on smooth water in good soundings, when she is in danger of Scylla on the one hand, or of Charybdis on the other? WTe trust not. What is the reason of all this We will tell you, fellow-citizens. It is party Party when war is upon us, and when our brave men of all parties and all positions are suffering and dying for their country Yes, the depraved oracle of the destructives in this city, clamors for the spoils must have all the fat offices for the original secessionists indeed yawns and growls like a dog with a sore head, if the original Yancy men, the democratic secessionists don't ijcl them all. Yes, the men who were unwilling to break up the old government until every effort was made to restore and preserve it those who in February and April preferred peace to war, but who rose in their might as one man to resist the indications of coercion and tyranny, as promulgated in Lincoln's proclamation, they are the men who may pay their money to support the war and shoulder their muskets to drive the invader from our soil, but as a general rule, there are no offices for them. And forsooth, if tee dare complain of the corrupting, damaging course of the destructives, because of its manifest injustice and impolicy during the war, we are charged with personal or partizan venom.

We heard it suggested at one time, that it was thought, in view of the shortness of the time before the election, (rtlh of November,) that it would he advisable for the members of both branches of the Legislature to propose an Electoral Ticket to be voted for by the people. We suppose it was not done.

We know not what course will be adopted to get out a ticket, unless the people hold primary meetings immediately, and call District and State Conventions. It is all important that a ticket should be formed at an early day, and it would be well if it could be agreed on to have but one ticket. we desire a fair and just ticket to all parties and all sections of the State, We shall oppose any attempt to form a ticket that would be unacceptable to the people, by cliques or packed Conventions. We would earnestly impress it upon the niir.ds of the people o( North-Carolina, to vote for no man as Elector, who is not pledged, under all circumstances, to vote for Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, for President, and Alexander II. Stephens, of Georgia, Jor Vice President.

Subsistence fok ouh Tkoops. We call the special attention of our readers among the farmers, and our patriotic ladies, to the advertisements of the Commissary of Subsistence, Capt. John Devereux, in today's Standard, soliciting contracts for a large supply of Salt Reef, Vinegar, Candles and Soap for our These articles can be produced in our State in abundance, and it is only necessary to put forth a little economy, industry and energy to supply thern. lint let our people recollect that the government will not submit to extortion. The Claims of the Soldier.

The columns of the Standard have given abundant evidence of the deep interest we feel in promoting the comfort and welfare of our soldiers. No one has such strong claims upon the citizens of the South as the sick or needy Southern soldier. The prevalence of sickness in our camps and the number of deaths occurring, excite our deepest sympathies. To relieve their condition and to supply (heir wants, the government and the whole South are urged to step forward. Virginia has done and is doing all in her power to relieve them.

Richmond is entitled to the appellation of the "Queen City" in this benevolent work. Yet, with all this expenditure of means put forth by the government, and by Virginia and other States, such is the demand for the exercise of benevolence in this regard, it becomes absolutely necessary to er.list every State, county and neighborhood in this noble woik. But besides the importance of necessary provision for them in sicknes, it is a matter of imperious necessity that our soldiers should be paid off at once. From every quarter we still continue to hear complaints that our soldiers have not been paid. North Carolina never intended that her soldiers should go so long without pay.

The Convention "twr intended it. ThaCbody authorized the raising of: the express purpose of having Imnps paid off up to the time of their transfer. heard no other idea expressed id the Convention. Why the wishes of the Convention were not carried out, will be a matter of grave inquiry, at some day. Now that the Legislature has passed "lis to them, we hope it will be attended to promptly, and that we shall hear no more complaints from our brave men who have periled their all for the Sooth.

Skqiestuatioi Act. This act of the Confederate Congress will be found on the first page of the semi-weekly Standard. The instructions of the Attorney General, Mr. Benjamin, are bo important to those whose duty it is to execute the law, that WJ publish them in this issue. i 1 Beauregard had removed his quarters to Fairfax Court-house, and Gen.

Johnston to Fairfax Station. No news from the Peninsula or Fortress Monroe. From our coast we hear of no movement of the enemy. Col. Fremont is active in his preparations around Wilmington.

Gen. Anderson is in command, we believe, about Morehead City. Capt. Lynch is in command of the forts, The N. Y.

Tribune says that preparations are making for two formidable movements against the Southern coast. A strong naval force and 35,000 troops will be sent in command of Gens. Butler and Sherman. Let the coast defences be made ready to meet them. Our State may need ten times its present force to meet them.

Let us be ready. 3gf The list of articles received by Sheriff High for the soldiers, is unavoidably deferred. Hatteras. We clip the following extract from the Richmond Dispatch "The affair of Fort Hatteras was one of which the State of North-Carolina bad control, and for which the Confederate government was not responsible." This statement will make an erroneous impression. The State Convention authorized the transfer of our coast defences, munitions and troops to the Confederate government, but fixed the 20th of August as the latest period for the transfer.

Our State authorities held on to them until the 20th August, having ordered a cessation of work on our defences in July. The Confederate government did not take possession until the 20th of August, ten or eleven days before the affair of Hatteras. Had that government continued Gen. Gvrynn in office at least until it had the chance of fully ascertaining the condition of things on the coast, instead of sending Com. Barron to assume the command at that juncture, we are confident the disgrace and disaster would not have occurred; not because the defences were complete, but because our brave men under his lead would have kept the Yankees from landing.

Titoops fok the East. Wq are glad to find our troops moving to the defence of our sea-board. A Georgia regiment has been ordered there we learn, by President Davis, among others. Three fine companies left here on Monday. A company from Wayne, commanded by G.

'NY. Loften, 3rd Lieutenant. One from Guilford, commanded by J. H. Morehead, Captain; Mr.

Gorrell, 1st Lieutenant, and Mr. Morehead, 2d Lieutenant also one from Edgecombe, commanded by F. H. Jenkins, Captain 1st Lieutenant, Hyman, and 2d Lieutenant Gatlin. The other officers we did not learn.

Our forces there will soon be ample no doubt, to meet the foe. State Thkaslky Notes. The Legislature has passed a bill directing the Public Treasurer to issue Treasury notes to the amount of $1,000,000 as soon as possible, in sums ranging from $100 to 5 cents. The Convention did not authorize the issue of these notes until the first of March, for the reason that the constitution of the provisional government prohibits the States from issuing bills of credit. The permanent constitution does not.

We presume, therefore, our Legislators acted upon the principle that "necessity knows no a principle not always safe, even if it be necessary. Subsistence Department, Sept. 20, ISol. Mii. IIoldex: Please acknowledge, through your Journal, the receipt of twenty-two bags of Hour from Mr.

S. GENERAIj news. Lincoln is urged by sundry persons in the Northern cities to expel Mr. Russell, the namby-pamby-correspondent of the London limes, from Washington. Despotism reigns rampant at the North.

The liberty of the press, of speech and of thought are under the ban of Lincoln. Liberal presses every where are stopped innocent and highly respecta- ble ladies and gentlemen are arrested and sent to prison. God is just, but his wrath will not always slumber. Within a few days many of the most respectable citizens of Maryland havu been arrested. The Federals at Fort Pickens attempted to burn the Pensacola Navy Yard on the 14th.

Gen. Bragg drove off the scoundrels. Gen. Thompson, of the Confederate forces in Missouri, has issued a proclamation, affirming that if Fremont carries into effect his bloody proclamation, for every one he murders, he will "hang, draw and quarter" one of Lincoln's minions. Col.

Swan, who prides himself upon having in his company over fifty men who are six feet high. This fact has gained for them the soubriquet of the "Shanghai Company." They are attached to the 30th regiment North-Carolina volunteers, and we predict that they will show the Yankees some tall fighting provided the latter give them an opportunity.

Traitors. The Washington Dispatch says that soon after our troops had evacuated Beacon Island, some seventy-five of the Arab people living on Brant and Hog Islands and Hunting Quarters went over and stole every thing they could lay their hands on the bedding, clothes, left by the troops who went to Hatteras and were captured. These people are a little worse than the bankers. A force should be sent down to make them disgorge, and then string them up. Pig Iron from Ore Hill, Chatham.

We have recently heard from the upper part of old Chatham, and learn that the blast furnace is now under successful operation, and is furnishing as good a quality of pig-metal as is produced any where. This iron is manufactured from the iron ore known by mineralogists as broicn hematite, (the hydrated oxide of iron situated a mile from the Vernon Springs, in the western part of the County, near the Randolph line. The hematite is quarried frdm the Ore Hill, which is composed almost entirely of this valuable metal. Mr. Babbington, who has it in charge, is an experienced miner, and has the reputation of being one of the best furnace operatives in the country, lie is now preparing to cast pots, pans, ovens, andirons, and can cast shot and shell and even cannon, if the government at Richmond should think fit to make the necessa ry orders.

There is probably no portion of the Confederate States where iron of all qualities can be manufactured at as little expense and of as good quality. A few miles South of Ore Hill, on the banks of the Sawponee, (Deep River,) there has already been erected a bloomary, where good bar-iron is manufactured under the superintendency of Mr. Brown. Mortality in Camps. Let not our people be alarmed at the number of deaths of our soldiers in camp.

According to the tables of mortality constructed from materials furnished by the United States census about nine out of one thousand of men aged twenty-five years die annually from prdinar' causes. Assuming that North Carolina has twenty five thousand soldiers in the field, and Jhat their average age is twenty-five, of that number two hundred and twenty -five will die during the first year of their service. Two hundred and twenty -fine would hare died if there had been no war. So that although it is distressing to every humane heart to see the dead bodies of our gallant citizens brought home from our camps to be buried, let us not be deceived or disheartened by the common saying that "those camps are grave yards." According to the Northampton tables of mortality three hundred and ninety-six out of twenty-five thousand men at an average age of twenty-five years die annually. The Carlisle tables show a mortality about one-half as great as the Northampton tables.

Letters from the Captured. We observe that letters have been received from Maj. Andrews, of Goldsboro', and Capt. Sparrow, of Washington, by their families. Many of the friends of the captured have received letters from them we presume.

We arc glad that they write cheerfully and speak of their being treated kindly. They may be sure that they have the sympathies of their fellow-citizens at home. Why Not? The Washington Dispatch holds the following language in regard to the dilatory movements of the authorities of the State Why does not Gov. Clark call for volunteers for the defence of the coast Thousands, in our opinion, would rush to the rescue. A Regiment here and two in Hyde, with cavalry and artillery, would be amply sufficient Troops can be raised, thousands of them.

Let the Governor attend to it at once. Many lives, much disgrace and millions of property would be saved by it. It must be done and done at once, or thousands in all this exposed section will speak out in such indignant tones of thunder, as to make some folks shake in their shoes." The answer is, we suppose, that Gov. Clark is doing all that a man who is over-cropped and burdened with two offices, and with rather slender means to do with, can do. If he can fully discharge the duties of Speaker of the Senate and of Governor of the State, at a time like this, and prevent every body from grumbling, he must be an uncommon man.

No one doubts Gov. Clark's put poses to do the best he can, and the Eastern people may be sure he is not unmindful of their condition. clothes and blankets. Mrs. Clarke is also hard at work, for the 14th regiment of volunteers, (Colonel ClarkVs,) as are thousands of our ladies, (or all of them.

God bless the women of our honest old State. Our soldiers may be sure of their friendship. A friend belonging to the 6th regiment of State troops, (late Col: Fisher's,) writes Our health has improved wonderfully since Col. Pender came, and the arrangement of the Hospital under Dr. Holt, is very fine indeed.

We have not had a "red" yet, though we have been in the service nearly four months. We can get a plenty of every thing here, but we have no money. The other regiments (from other States) have been paid of!" and are living like lords, while we poor devils can hear the chickens squall, but have nothing that will catch them. Our men too have wives at home who need the mono', but there seems to be none for the soldiers." Cheer up brave feJlows it is coming. The old North State will never forget her brave boys.

It will be recollected that Gov. Clark some time since proffered to advance $000,000 to pay our soldiers, provided tha Confederate Government would pay over the same amount in Confederate bonds to the State. This the Confederate Government declined to do. It no doubt had good reasons for iL It would seem, therefore, that the State then had the money, and that Governor Clark had the power to pay our soldiers. W'c regret that he did not take the responsibility to pay them, as the Convention clearly intended they should be.

Every man. woman and child in the State, would have rejoiced at it many a soldier's heart would have been gladdened, and man' a sick one would have been relieved. But the condition of our soldiers has not dampened their ardor a whit. Their faces are towards the enemy and their cry is, victory or death. Nor will they falter may come.

Never had men greater incentives to fight. Our soil must not be polluted by the trarr.p of the invader. At any sacrifice or cost, the tyrant Lincoln must be vanquished. Hold up, ye brave men. You cannot forget the toils and sufferings of your fathers to shake off the British yoke.

As yet, yours bear no comparison to theirs. Remember the frozen and bleeding, feet of our fathers at Trenton and Valley Forge the scanty meal and ragged clothes of the continental forces. Recollect that your fathers fought naked when they whipped the British at Eutaw Springs. The same spirit of sacrifice, the same courage are needed to break the iron yoke which Lincoln is lorging for our necks. Mistrust.

An accomplished writer, who signs himself in a late Register, wastes a deal of good powder in warning the people of North-Carolina against the bad influences of the demon Mistrust. He intimates that differences of opinion in regard to our defences and public affairs may breed mistrust, or a want of confidence in the loyalty of these who have in keeping the great interests of State. We submit with all proper deference, that the idea is far-fetched and groundless. No one in North Carolina doubts for a moment the loyalty of our public men. We have never beard so much as a whisper or suspicion of that sort.

The only mistrust which any one can feel, arises first, from the dogged persistence of many in power, who labor to create and foster a party during the existence of a bloody war, when the great body of the people think that we should forget party, and labor alone for the good of the State and of the South. Secondly, a mistrust of the wisdom, sound judgment and efficiency of those who manage public affairs, will doubtless arise in the minds of the people, when results show failures or blunders under their' management. But this does not argue a mistrust of their fidelity, nor is the one a logical or necessary sequence of the other. To the ltescne, North-Carolinians. Hatteras has been captured and 700 of our men are prisoners of war to Lincoln.

Our coast is to be made the theatre of the tyrant's villainies, as the Potomac and the James Rivers have been. It is evident that the serpent is making a strong effort to get North-Carolina in his coil. Shall it be so, people of North-Carolina From the mountains to the seaboard our people say, No A friend at Tarboro' writes us a warm and earnest letter to urge the immediate re-capture of Hatteras. Let it be done. We presume our authorities will do what they can.

There are tens of thousands in the State who will second every attempt to wipe out the stain and the disgrace of the Hatteras capture. Let it be done quickly. Let every man in the State put himself in readiness to rush to repel the invader. Drive out the miserable hirelings of the despot Lincoln, at any CSt. it is damaging to the peace and the harmony and the efficiency of the State in this war and this is the sole ground of our complaint.

Who dares stand forth and charge us with raising an objection against the appointment of a fit man a man fully qualified forricc? We contend that North Carolina at this jfuncture, needs her purest, wisest, ablest, most reliable men, no matter what their politics are or have been. We want the office to fit the man and the man to fit the office let him have been a whig or democrat, a I'nion man or a secessionist, we care not a groat. But when we see original secessionists planning and scheming and plotting to fill every office, military or civil, with original Yancey men, we are alarmed for the safety and perpetuity of the new government, and for the prosperity and success of the South in this war. Arid why, not because we doubt the personal integrity of all of them. Certainly not.

But because their action is based upon a principle which is destructive to the perpetuity of Constitutions, and law, and order, and a permanent government. Men may be potent to pull down and impotent to build up, not because they don't try to build, but because they build with hay and stubble, and not with the imperishable ingre- 1 dients of truth, and justice and right. Let us say to those who thus carry on, the day is coming when the people will take vengeance for i all this. Secretary of War. Since Mr.

Walker's resignation, Hon. J. P. Benjamin, Attorney General, has been performing the duties of Secretary of War. Gen.

Polk, Gen. Cooper, Gen. Lee, Gov. Harris, and also Col. Branch, of this State, have been spoken of as his successor.

We are not advised of Col. Branch's peculiar qualifications for the office, but it is high time that North Carolina had soine representative in the councils at Richmond. We would commend to the special notice and consideration of President Davis, the rare qualifications for that office, of the late Military Board of this State, and especially of the Military Secretary of that Board, whose term of service expired on the 20th inst. As Col. Branch belonged to another branch of the service, and withal has been connected with the Military Secretary in the circumlocution offices" of this State, they would doubtless make admirable diplomats, if not tip-top Secretaries of War.

However, as to their military qualifications, we refer the President to the good people of North Carolina. 81st Volunteer Regiment. This regiment, composed of the following companies, was organized on Thursday last Capt. Jordan's company, Craven; Capt. Fowle's, Capt.

Betts', and Capt. Willie D. Jones', Wake Capt. Yeates', Hertford Capt. Miller's, Orange Capt.

Tripp's, Beaufort; Capt Liles', Anson; and Capt. Whitty's, Craven. The 10th company to be recruited. Capt. J.

V. Jordan, of Craven, has been elected Colonel Capt. 1). G. Fowle, of Wake, Lieut.

Colonel and Capt. Yeates, of Hertford, Major. The regiment has made an excellent choice of field officers. An Article of a Mischeivous tendency. The last Raleigh Register has the following sensible article The last State Journal contains an article, which, in our opinion, has a mischievous tendency.

We allude to the article on the Election of Senators." For our own part, we hailed the result of the Senatorial election as a sign that all mere sectional strife in the State, had been merged, at least for the present, in a united and efficient action against the common foe of all the sections of the State, and of the South, and had two western gentlemen been invested with the Senatorial robes, we should have been equally pleased at the indication, that until our rights and liberties shall be triumphantly vindicated, and the vandal foe driven from our soil, North Carolina will know no section but that of a united South. Why then, should the State" or any other Journal, use language calculated to promote heart-burnings and discord, which otherwise would not exist In looking over the votes, we see that western men voted for Mr. Dortch, and as yet we have heard of no complaint on the part of the west, and we earnestly hope that the Journals article will not find a response from any man in the west."
