At first wt werenot disposed to notice the matter, believing it impossible that any set of men In the South were wiefced or mean enough to ngage in such' a traitorons'scheme.

But the Raleigh Confederate, which first mad the statement, has recently reiterated it and says it knows of witnesses who. can expose the evil designs of the members ef this secret organization. And the Goldsboro'i Journal of la.t week says "A few 4y ro, a private in one of Lee's regiments, a South Carolinian, called at our office and informed us that there no doubt whatever of the existence of this organisation, -He had e.vi denoe conelasive to himself that it was at work in North and South Carolina, and also in our armies. In the army of Gen. Lee he' knew it to He bad seen the ritual," the signs and passwords in print, and he premised to furnish os with a copy on nis return to his remriient.

i i. Considering these statements we think impor tant that the matter should be fully investigated, and if such an organization is found exist, the members ought to be brought to swift punishment. A citizen or resident 01 tne oouin wno wonia join or co-operato witlx a secret or open organization for the purpose of overthrowing the Confederate Gov- eminent and placing our lies, liborty property and our all at the mercy of Lincoln and his cuj-tbroats, should be executed as. a traitor as speedily as pos sible. Let every true ir.an every who desires to promote peace here at home and.

secure the final success of the Confederate causebe on the alert and report what be can ascertain about this 'secret organization which- is said to exist in our midst. We hope the Confederate and Jqurrial will give the authority for-their statements, and make public the names of all whom' they may "know to be con nected with the treasonable scheme. Prompt ex posures should-be made eo that the public can mark and seize the traitors. Since writing the above, we find an expose in the Ral eigh Conservative of the existence of. the organization' al- lnded A Baptist minister of Chatham county, the.

Grier of Steel Creek, who sold forty bags on the day men tioned. Col Grier has always acted commendably and patriotically by selling' his surplus provisions as the public wants required. In this way last year he sold of his crop of corn that we aro told he scarcely Lai enough to feed his hands stnd stock until tho next crop is gathered. He has' shown a willingness to do all be could towards relieving wants of non-producers, and trust Providoiico fof another crop. Another, tact that may be stated to the credit of Col.

Grier is, that he has invested all the" money he has made the last two. years; in Confederate lionus. The Ktv, Brigadier Generals. Some weeks joalistjof appointments of Brigadiers was pub lished, and among them some five or six from this State. It was generally supposed Llhat these ap pointments were permanent, but we learn that they were only temporary, except in one or two cases.

The appointments of Grimes and Barringer to the commaiidjof Brigades aro permanent, because tU take -the places of. officers killed, but Cox, Toon and Lewis 'only -command brigades until the return of wounded or'captured So. a of Hamsour's appointment as Maj also, in tne case nils the position and draws the pay until Maj!

Apdy Johnson, tne traitor, who is the Lincoln candidate for the Vice Presidency of the yankoe nation, recently made a speech at Nashville, in which Tie -foreshadowed the punishment. to be inflicted on ns by bis Government if it can cet power over tho Confederacy. He said 44 Traitors most.be punished; their plantations small farms ai)d must be seized and divided into sold to honest men. The day for the protection of the lands and negroes of tho authors. of the rebellion is past." We suppose every southern mas who is not a fool fully comprehended what subjugation or submission meant beforo Andy Johnson inacLp his speech and proclaimed the purposes of his government, but it is well for Our people to be remiudjed of these thiflgf lest they should lqso sight, to some extent, of the immense importance of the pending struggle.

There may be some who havo no' disposition to Continue the struggle 4br liberty, but certainly they will never agree to see their-larras and lands taken irom them and divided out among Eurohean and northern I paupers ana negroes, Anuyonnscjns "uonesi men. i We imagine there aro but few men who would see themselves' rendered houseless and their children beggared, without making an effort to resist. There fore it is fortunate that such men sometimes make public speeches. as Andy Johnson Uacok.

The raiders were led by the notorious toiy, Col.

Railroad. The camp was destroyed, together with a temporary depot and a few cars that were stand-1 ing on the track at the terminus of the road- We suppose the loss in this way is small.

'The engine attached to the cars, it is said, can be easily ro- paired. The main body of the raiders did not visit Mor-'canton. A small party, it is reported, went to the village and wero in the act'tof stealing R. C. Poar son's horses, when Mr Pearson fired on them and killed one.

The others fled. The. villains remained but a short time in the vicinity of Morgan ton before taking the back track. It is stated that a number of the Junior Reserves (about 5t)) escaped from the raiders nryi returned ,4 A large force was soon collected-at Morganton to meet the enemy, but we suppose they made their escape, though pursuit was, soon commenced. In anticipation of the advance of this raiding par ty further this way, the Homo Guards and detailed men of this plaoe, Salisbury, Greensboro, and other points along the N.

Railroad, were mustered and gotten ready for service. Companies were also formed at Chester and Yorkville, S. C. ready to come to our help if occasion required. A large force could have been assembled here or at Salis bury in a few hours if it had been necessary.

Further The Kdiior-of the Salisbury Watchman writes to his paper from Camp Vance, 'near Morganton, as Camp Vaxce, June 30.

Guerillas were enforcing conscription in South western KentuckyJj They had captured the' horses nnd equipments of a Federal regiment at Princeton. A hundred rebels were stationed at Mayfield, driv- irig Unionists out of the State. Guerillas are becoming troublesome in oouthern Missouri. i jThoChicago Times, of the 18th, estimates Grant's loase in killed and wounded North of James River at 70,000 men.
