Ellis, and wishes to put bim down and the Democratic party with him." Our reply to the Rough Notes it that Got. lltts was offended with us, without good cause, long before we were offended with him that we labored in every honorable way te remain on good terms with the Governor, but that he, apparently de-termined wet to be friendly with us politically, put it out of our power to co operate cordially with as we did in ibdoV But the fact that the Governor was offended with us furnished no good reason why we -should judge him unjustly. We could not change our course as a Constitutional Union msn because the Governor thought it his duty to adopt a different course in his message. We, therefore, spoke out against the disunion ten-dencies of the message, jut as We would have done if the Governor and oursalf had been the best friend in the world. And this, we meuid remind the Rough Fete, has been the rale by which we have always been guided.

We were on friendly terms, both personally and politically, with Mr. Vcnsble, with Mr. Leak, with Hon. William H. Haywood, and with many other leading Democrats with whom we were compelled at one time to differ; but this dd not prevent us from expressing our views and maintaining our opinions.

The same is true as to Messrs. Graige, Clingman, and Rufhn, to whose course recently we have been reluctantly compiled to iter our dissent and the same was true, in a grea degree, as to Mr. Shepherd and Mr. McRae. But the Ro gh Soles speaks of Gov.

Ellis as if he was the Dean ratic party. $ow, we hold that the Democratic rty depends on no man or set of men for its existei or integrity. If the Democratic partv depend for its existence, or for its continued ascendency it this State on Gov. Ellis or any other single indivi ial, then we say the Democratic party is in a bad v.

v1 1344- and if Freuffrage hsd never been sUrte the State would hav The Votcc of the People. We continue our extracts from letters received from friends. These letters are from gentlemen of 11 shades of political opinions, but they all agree that the Union of the States is tee dear and too important to us all to be abandoned without an earnest, a united, and a prolonged effort for its preservation. Depend upon it, attachment to a Constitutional Union is still the uppermost feeling in the hearts of the people of North Carolina. A friend writing from Alamance County says: "I had almost despaired of the Union so fares this State is concerned, until I saw the strong and patriotic grounds you had taken for a Constitutional Union.

The people of both parties are with you. Set Alamance down at twenty-five to one for the Union." A highly intelligent and worthy friend, formerly in public life in this State, writes us as follows from Alabama "I see with great surprise that John Speinian has been elected State Printer over you. You arc no doubt correct when you say th-s thing was done to destroy you. should they succeed in the attempt, I can ol a truth say that the people ot JNortn-tjaro-line will have lost one of their best friends. But for you North-Carolina would never have been a Demo cratic State.

This is, or rattier was aauuueu oy friends and foes. I will say this much, that if there ever was a consistent iitor you have been that man. I have been, ever since I entfcred public life (1844) a close and constant reader of the Standard and I defy any one of your enemies to fix upon you any deviation from true Democratic principles. The majority ot the people ot tnis pari oi Aiaoama are for immediate secession. To this hasty action I do not agtee.

But I think the matter ought to be settled now between the North and the South. An attempt to settle it, if we fail, will give us time to prepare tor the coming storm, unc tntng oi useii should make us hesitate about immediate secession, and that is the gratitude due from us to those Northern men Cass, Douglas, Dickinson, and others who have been sacrificed politically for contending for our rights." The above is from a Democrat who has always been true to his principles. A Democratic friend, who is well posted, writes us as follows from Chatham County In these times of danger and peril I am glad to believe that Chatham County, without distinction of party, is almost at present unanimously for the Union in accordance with the Constitution. There are only a few among us for disunion or secession at this time. You may rest assured this is so." A friend writing from Iredell County says I am pleased to ee that the conservative and Union-loving men of North-Carolina are waking up and making their influence felt through public meet ings.

1 nave a large lamuy, wun or sons neany grown. I would be willing to see them saenncea for their country in a praiseworthy cause, but to be called out to tight merely for the gratification of a few leading and fanatical politicians, is beyond endurance. Iredell is almost unanimously for the Union. We had a very interesting Constitutional Union meeting in Statesville not long since. I sincerely trust that all our difficulties will be settled, but if the contest must come, let it be between the conservative Union men North and South and the abolitionists North and the extreme fire-eaters South.

Then we would know what we were fighting for, and for one I could go into it with a clear conscience. If we could dispose of the whole of these fanatics, the Union would be safe and we. would get along in peace." A Democrat in Ashe County, writing to a friend in this City, says I think I know the sentiments of the people of this Countv. and I do not believe there is a single man in the County who is in favor of secession for existing causes. I know of none, and I have heard the people express themselves on this subject 3 Fort Moultrie Aewndoaed.

We publish to-day stirring news from Charleston. It seems that Mai. Anderson has abandoned Fort Moultrie, after having burned the gun carriages, spiked the cannon, and otherwise rendered the works useless for the present, and has removed to Fort Sumpter with his little command of some seventy men. Fort Moultrie is situated on the upper end of Sullivan's Island, a mile and a half from the Battery at Charleston, and was considered untenable, owing to the convenient approaches to it from the land side. It was, therefore, a bold and masterly manoeuvre to abandon it and take possession of Fort Sumpter, which is located directly in front of Charleston, iti the centre of the harbor, where no attack can be made except by water, and where, if desirable, all vessels entering the harbor can be brought to, their manifests examined, and the duties, paid.

Charleston harbor thus remains in possession of the federal authorities. Major Anderson is a loyal and gallant soldier, and will defend Fort Sumpter to the last Fifteen guns of large calibre are in battery at Fort bumpier, which will be suffi cient to control the harbor and City. There are. Good! On Friday last one hundred guns fired in Wilmington, in this State, over the secession of South Carolina. The Herald says that in less than twenty minutes after the firing commenced every vend in port, with the exception of one, run up the eUtrt and stripe." Good I I3T" Vt'e cordially concur with our cotemporary of the Western Sentinel in the following views.

Col. Alspaugh has pointed out the true policy for North-Carolina in this emergency As we said, we have never yet despaired of the Republic we do not yet despair, but now that mad-4 ness rules the hour in many of our sister States, we have our fears that they may be too precipitate that wiser counsels will be overborne by the fierce and spontaneous determination of the masses to vindicate their rights at once and maintain them at all hazards and regardless of all consequences. And while we can but sympathize with the Cotton States, we deplore the igitation which exists within their borders, and cenkure those who instead of bracing themselves against the pillars of the Constitution like patriots and statesmen, lead off precipitately in a wild disunion dance of which no one can forsee the end or compute the cost The position that North -Carolina should assume in this threatening aspect of affairs should be, in conservative one. Let us look our humble oninion. besides, thousands of stands of small arms and forty t.

Disunion or secession is a remedy have to treat all round" these Christmas times, 1 for no evil. The Constitution is our only safeguard i. let us cling to it with a patriot fervor so long as it before she can obtain possession of this stronghold.

gfcnJ we sheltered beneath its protecting asgis. In the meantime it is our duty to Postal Arrangements in The prepare for the exigencies which may arise in the Convention has passed an ordinance providing for future." the transportation of the mails in South-Carolina as at present transported and delivered, the ordinance to remain in force until a postal treaty or treaties shall be concluded with the United States, or until otherwise ordered by this Convenvention." That is, the present route agents and postmasters are to continue to serve, and the existing contracts for carrying the mails are to be continued and this, we suppose, is to be done by officers acting under an oath to the United States and to South-Carolina. Mr. Dunkin, a leading member of the Convention, stated in debate a few days since that if the mails and the commerce of South-Carolina should be stopped but for a week, such deprivations would operate more against secession than everything else combined. Mr.

D. is right. It is singular, however, that the sovereign and independent State of South-Carolina should depend on the much-abused government of the United States for the transportation and deliveryof her mails. Tbe Robdery of Trust Funds. A young man named Gordon Bailey, of South-Carolina, a law clerk in the Interior Department, some time since robbed that Department of about $830,000 in State bonds, and placed them in the hands of a man named Russell, who used them for the purpose of raising money.

The bonds are mostly those of North-Carolina and Missouri, and were held in trust for Indian tribes. Mr. Bailey has confessed his crime to Mr. Thompson, the Secretary of the Interior, and he is now in prison. Mr.

Thompson having appealed to the House of Representatives for an investigation of the matter, that body has appointed a committee for that purpose. No blame attaches to Mr. Thompson. In addition to the foregoing it is stated in a1 dispatch to the New York Herald, that within a few days two millions of dollars are missing from the United Slates Treasury that are not accounted for on the books. This, however, is only rumor.

I see that my Demo-! cratic friends in Raleigh are getting tolerably warm, If the secession leaders think they can lead the peo-! nle off alter them, they will find themselves mis taken.

I know they will be mistaken so far as this County is concerned. All I have heard express themselves say they will stand by Holden. The position he has taken is the right one, and he will be heartily endorsed by the Democracy of this County." A friend writing from Hertford County says 'Permit me to congratulate you on the noble stand vnn have taken for a Constitutional Union. You The Dpplis Alarm. It turns out, after all, that the rumored insurrection at Magnolia, Duplin coun- ty, amounts to nothing.

It seems that a young man named Solon Larkins, wrote to W. H. Anthon, of New York, informing him of arrangements for an insurrection, and asking for a remittance of $200 in I aid of the plot Anthon, Greely, and others in New I York, read the letter, and then forwarded it to Gov. i Ellis. The Governor ferreted the matter out with i great zeal, and the result is a hoax.

Young Lar- 1 i kins says he "wanted to fool the abolitionists," and get -oney to start a job printing office. These facts I came out in an examination before Judge French, in i Wilmington, on Monday lat Larkins was dis- charged. Much excitement has been created through- out the State by this hoax. While all persons should be vigilant in times like the present, reports of insurrections ought to be well sifted by the authorities before they are made public. The Washington Tableaux.

Mr. Greenwood will exhibit to our community during several evenings of the ensuing week, the beautiful ami impressive Washington Tableaux, a collection of American historical paintings, which have been spoken of in high terms by the press. Tbe Atlanta (Ga.) ConftJerucy says Washington Tableaux. On last evening we visited this collection of American Historical paintings, and we were really pleased to see so large an audience in As to the series of paintings, they are a' faithful panorama of the leading incidents in our country's history, with full length portraits of Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Hancock, Franklin, Livingston, Sherman and a host of others, whose names arc familiar as household words to the student of American history." We are requested to state that the last exhibitions of the Run van Panorama will lie given this afternoon at three o'clock, and this evening at half-past seven at the Town Hall. The military of Charleston arc ordered out to protect the magazines and arsenals in this locality.

It is reported that several military corps from the interior are en route for Charleston. There was no further news from Charleston last night, up to a late hour. It is believed that restrictions have been placed by the State authorities on the telegraph office there, which prevents the transmission of intelligence concerning the military or civil action taken by the State.

Mr. Stephens, of Washington Territory, pronounced false the statements in the Boston pa- Sers, that some of the frauds of the Indian Fund de-ilcation had been contributed to the Breckinridge Central Committee during the late Presidential elec tion. Mr. Bocock, of Virginia, owing to business engagements, was excused from serving on the Indian Fund Defalcation Investigating Committee. Adjourned until Monday.

From Washington. Washington, Dec. 27. The House Select Committee has rejected Mr. Rust's proposition for the extension of the Missouri Compromise line to the Pacific All the Republicans, and Henry Winter Davis, of Maryland, voted against it Other schemes are pending.

Col. Myers and Capt Dunnevent, of South-Carolina, and Major Wayne, ol Georgia, officers U. S. have resigned. The South-Carolina postmasters are continually sending in their resignations, saying that they are out of the Union.

The address proposing a Convention of the border slave States at Baltimoae, meets with general approval of the representatives therefrom, and has received numerous signatures.

It is from the pen of one of the most thought- ful and learned persons in the State one who, from his advanced age, has seen much of the career of this country, and who has carefully studied the histories of nations. If the warning voices of such men were heeded, the Republic might yet escape the doom which the conduct of the inconsiderate and ambitious, unless checked and controlled, will assuredly bring down upon it We also invite attention to the brief but pointed speech of the Hon.

I feel safe in saying this County will be with you until she has cause to act otherwise." A friend writing from Cabarrus County says We had a meeting of a portion of the people of Cabarrus on Saturday. As it was a dbu nay, aim the notice was only written and not extensively circulated, with many other Union men, refused to take part in the meeting.

The resolutions, however, were not as fire-eating as I expected. I do not believe the meeting reneciea ine win ui.uie rar Cabarrus is for the Union as long as it can be maintained with honor, and the Constitution is respectedbut no longer. We could get up a larger and more imposing meeting, but we do not think it We beg leave to suggest to our correspondent that the course pursued by Mr. Brringer, the Senator from Cabarrus and Stanly, would seem to call for a full and emphatic expression of opinion from the people of those Counties. Mr.

Barringer is numbered here among the secessionists. It is true he does not seem to be quite ready for dissolution, but he is acting with those who are doing all in their power to bring it about Is his course in this respect approved by a majority of the people of Ca bamn and Stanly We do not believe it is.

Candor requires tw to say that they do not appear to be aggressive, and that they were uttered, so far as we can judge from reading them, in a good-humored and inoffensive way. The following seems to be the gist of the speech. He said "That brethren of the same family must differ, and that if we keep entirely cool, and entirely calm, and entirely kind, a debate will ensue, which will be kind of itself, and it will prove to us very soon that either we are strong, and should make concessions to our offended brothers, or else that we are right, and he wilt acquiesce and come back into fraternal relations with us."

Withdrawal or toe Socth-Carolisa Membeks.

On Monday last Messrs. Boyce, McQueen, Ashmore, and Bonham dissolved their connection with the House of Representatives at Washington, and returned to their homes. Mr. Keitt, who is a member of the State Convention, had previously resigned his seat as a member ol the House. The two.

Some of the causes for this change are not far to seek others are of a more doubtful nature.
