It is pretty generally believed that W. W.linden is destitute of politic! .integrity, anahence all confidence in the Standard ' dis-

carded. Thousands contemn hi arpimentsa fophintry, detect ffls Assumed pntriotiiiinas hvpccri.y. nd hi niooth, fluent editorialsas theernai'rttioos ofa heart deceitful alxve ailthing and desperately wicked. Degraded in

reputation, he will find it difficult to induceany none?t, intelligent man to credit either hisassumptions or assertion, or believe, notwith-

standing all bis pretended love for the dearones or home, as his laudations of North Car-

olina soldiers, that ho has nc drop oT patriot- - "

ic blood flowing in his. veins. Were ho aroan of political truth, or coniteney, hisdeclarations and professions would hnve someweight with the people. Bti it is, his oulycbanecs to acquire popularity or fame is amongthe uninformed, the ignorant, and the vile andworthless, whom he may lead to concludethat Jeff. Davis will not h"ar the truth, andthat Z B. Vance is vnlgar and smutty ; thatthe fermeris not fit for President of the Con-

federacy nor the latter for Governor of NorthCarolina. To' ensure his success the, esteemaDd confidence of the people would contributemore than the substarjee ef all he has over-

written. If truth nnd honor; virtue andin person and speak with

a human voice, what they would sy, is, precisclii what has been said by rniaay, relative totho sham-patrio- i, W. W. Holden. He maygive utteraace to noble, generous and patrioticsentiments,' but the universal testimonial ofthe public voice will be, that they re theebullitinns of a demagogue, thirsting after thehonors that come from men. Henay indeedbecome great a great criminal, if ho is notactually one already but a gre tt man, or

worthy tebe Governor in his preeut degradedand hypocritical condition? he never can be;as long as virtue, honor, integrity, truth andpatriotism are held sacred in North Carolina.

I read attentively the Standard of the 22dIn9t., and was amused at some of its preten-sions to innocency and truth. He quoteslargely' from the Progress, and proves, in aforcible, fetbU way, by "Forsyth" and a

4 Soldier," that what ? See the copy.But it sickens the heart, that liberty of speechshould be so wretchedly abused by any man,St s'ich a crisis as the present.

"When I asked for tho paper toread, a frifnd observed to me, " it will actliko an emetic " it should be used after acathartic.

A reputation for integrity and intelligenceshould to a certain degree be established, be-

fore a citizen can obtain a seat in our; legisla-tive bodies, and enjoy the rihf taking apart in their debates. Polluted charactersshould never be ushered into thro halls of leg-islation, much loss into tho Governor's chair.Uprightness of character is the most effectualpassport to office, and the most certain in-

strument for acquiring influence in it.Without it, the most brilliant eloquence lososhalf its lustre with it, every faculty ofspeech acquires a ten-fol- d energy. The alxeis the emetic effect of t'ie Standard f the 22dinstant, on Yours, truly,

Raleigh, June 80, 1864.M?&rs. Editors i Having very recently

arrived at home from the army, and seeingsome statements in ene of the papers of thiscity, of remarks made by Gov. Vance to thesoldiers last winter, In his speech to Cooke'sbrigade, and knowing, and being able if it isnecessary, to prove that thoy are false, I takethis method of publicly contradicting them.One of these statements is, that Gov. Vancemid "Le was in favor of fighting the yankeesuntil hell freezes over and until it was so fallof dead Yankees that their feet Would stickout of the windowp." I was within twentyfeef of the Governor when he made thatspeech, and I listened attentively to him, andI am perfectly sure that he made no such re-

mark, and am equally as sure that the manwho says he heard him mako it, is conscious.that he is making a fatso statement when hesays so.

1 understand that sodCfe Wounded soldierfrom the 48th N. C. regiment now in thehospital in Raleigh, says ho heard the remark.If that ma, or "any other ma&," will comeout over his own name and say so, I will bringthe proof that he has misrepresented the mat-ter. I am a member of the 48th regimentmypelf ; I herd the Governor when he spokote Ramseur's brigade and also to Cuoko's, andI know I can prove what I say.

Another instance in which the opponentsof Gov. Vance do him injustice, is this: Heis represented to have said that if " the boyswould whip Grant this spring, he would givethem each a bottle of whiskey ;" and they tryto make capital against him out of that, bysayintj it was an electioneering promise, madeto curry favor, &c. WbII it might have,sounded so.if he had finished the sentence there;but he went on further aud said in the verynext breath, that Mf they didn't whip Grant,be (Gov. V ) would come back there with awgo whip and, single handed, would thrashtho last mother's son of them himself." Now,why did not t heso faithful reporters (?) ofthat speech report thtfwholo of that remark ?I can't see, unless it be that misrepresentationis & constitutionalfailing with some raon ; andalthough they would not willingly misrepresentman, or lie a"vut liim, yt farce, (fhuhit is sostrong wnh ttfrem, that they cannot possiblyhelp it. .

Some)f those who oppose Gov. Vance,fondly hope that he will not carry the armyvote. Poor deluded mortals, fhey will notcome nute the light that they may see, until itwill be too late for them to repent of theirfoil y. There is not a shadow of a doubt butthat Gov. Vance will carry tbe army vote byan overwhelming majority.

Yours truly,DAN," 48th N. C. T.

The writer of the abeve nete has given ushis name, aud assured us in a personal inter-

view, that the statements made are trae, andthat ho will sustain them by the evidence ofany number of witnesses, when he shall returnto the army. He also authorizes us to say,that if "the wounded soldier of the 48th,"now in hospital here, will make the assertionover his proper signature, of the truthfulnessef the allegation against Gov. Vance, that hisdenial shall also appear over his propernarce. Eds.

inflicted upon the enemy yesterday by Gens. Has-de- e

and'Loring, has rendered them very quiet to-

day . One of our officers in authority called to tbeyankee commander that as an set of humanitywe would cease firing, to .give them an opportunityto carry off their wounded, as they were in dangerof being burned alive; which was done.

The result of the astanlt of tbe enemy was fright,ful. In front of Clebnrn"s division they lost overono thousand alone, while in Cheatham's front itwas much greater. One hundred and fifty willoover our loss.

Walker's division skirmished with great her-oismnine out of eleven men being bayoneted inthe. rifle pits, while their officers actually cut downthe enomy with sabres. Two of our officers fromthe same pit came in with bayonet wounds, whiletheir clothes were perfectly perforated. .

Ever since h-- j becama a party to the t:belof Goj. Sander an 1 Dr. Lb, Mr. Holdenha had in hid porsessiin tho "Appendix to

the Lifo and Tiojej of Duncan K. McRae,"which was republished at his mTice. la thatlocnBent, hin contrnot is Jt forth by Mr.

Sanders to be, that he id to "supply army" aiores in Iare quantities, receiving in pay- -'

nieut Slate scrip for Naal stores at fixed

" prices." For soch scrip I will deliTer to" yotir agent at Halifax, Nova Scotia, coffee,

"tea, boots, shoe, fixed ammunition, and''clything, t yankee govornment prices."

TuU thea wad the contraot. Mr. Sanderswas to supply the goods, aud receive the scripin pymtnl. And the contract was da tod 22 idDecember, 1862. ,

It appears further, from tbe same docu-

ment, that Mr. Santiers never did offer auyuch joods, and never put himself in position

to be entitled to tho scrip. la other words,iustrad ofbein able to "supply the good3, andreceive tha Hcrip,' Mr. Sanders was allowed

to vut tho scrip on the market iu London,from March until ruu. , r n wKiii tmn.with all the assistance which Col. McUao,indMr. White, the agent of the State for thoCotton Bonds, could give hini, fce entirelyfoiled to execute one single stipulation of hiscontract; a contract clearly on ite terms imply-- iit immediate execution. In other words, Mr.

Sanders perpetrated on the Governor an im-

posture ; and Mr. Ltalden makes himself anadvocate of it, with all the ligats before him.

For if it were; not manifest on the pages ofthe narrative of Mr. Sanders, Mr. Holdenwas quite aware that Mr. Th. F. Hughes andMr. Jobs Whito, beth agents of the Statethen in Europe, and beth entirely reputablegentlemen, were frequently in JUleigh, (Mr.Hughes resides here,) and b could have ap-

plied to them, and they would have inform- - 1

him that Mr. Sanders never was able to

"supply" an article:' tKat his coancxionwith the scrip prevented the public from ne-

gotiating for them : that no negotiation couldbe effected of them until they weru withdrawnIrora his connexion, and that then they'' werenegotiated. And these geatlemen wouldhave gone further, and assured Mr. Holdenhow earnestly and assiduuusly Col. McRaelabored, with their aid and influence, to en-

able Air. Sanders to execute his contract ; butwithout success, or the hoje of it. In a few

days we shall lay before theipublic the state- -

merit of Mr. White in this matter.Mr. Holden will add to the ether claims he

will have on history, that of being the autherf several book of libels.

In stating the articles furnished by Cel.McRae to the State, we omitted to mention1200 Enfield Biles, aad one hundred thousandpounds of fixed aznmunitien, and should havesaid 13,000 instead of 10,000 pair of shoes.

Perhaps Mr. Holden would like to enquirewhat kind of fire arms these are ? 1m orderto ascertain, he need sot " go in among, thsoldiers and ThQoaets." The officer in chargwill tell him that they are first class gunsfor use. They were selected with care, andthey cost the State fifteen barrels of cesaoonSeeia, each. The Confederacy frequentlynya $36, and more, in gold.

Perhaps Mr. Holden night fee induoed totry one just for a few days against theHaiders at Gaston or Morganton. He hasproperty te defend, and he might show thepeople how a Governor can pull a trigger.Col. McRae will go with him any time, andfire first, to show hint that the fiifles won'tkick. These riflsa have an " odor of naval

stores," and ever since 1840 the atmospherearound Mr. Helden has been fragrant withthis aromatic " odor."

The Subsidized Presses. By an act ofCongress npproved February 17. 18o4, it iaprovided that "the Attorney Geu-m- d of theConfederate States shall lyj authorized to eon- - .

tract for the. publication of the acts of Gn-gie- ss

in the public gazettes,, the understand,in bciog that they arc to bo Destiuctive ga-

zettes, on the best terms he can, in no eventto exceed the ordinary fates of printing iorprivate persons' Of course the AttorneyGeneral allews these gazettes as mah as theycharge private persons. We have before us'one of these gazettes, which publishes evtrydajr oae column and a half of tbe laws, aboutthirty squares, at three' dollars per square,making ninety dollars per day of public money,or five hundred and forty dollars ,per wei k.No wonder such gazettes can exist on a smallnumber of subscribers, and flood the eouun pwith their issnes gratis. Standard, June 28.

The abov article is evidently intended tosllndo to the;; Confederate i ewwpaper, mid

contains several falsehoods. Firni, our Pivssis as clear of being "subsidized" by gsvern- -aaat or otbr pitronagn m any v 'ir publicjournal in tho Confederacy the Sfaififwd notexcepted. It is controlled solely id entire-

ly, withont let or hindrance from any quarterby its publicly announced Editor, and no onehas the power to dictate a line of policy for

them. The Standard was for many years thomedium of publication of the Laws of the old

government, "and may have been bought up to

par ty support thereby ; but we protest againsthis meas uring our patriotism by his own.

Secondly It is false that the AttorneyGeneral has not made a contract with us icpub lisbiug the laws, and that heailows "thetegazettes as much as they charge private per-

sons." A man who has any regard for his

veracity,' would be careful to ascertain facts,befeie mating such untruthful statements."

Thirdly As to subscribers, we hazard not h-i- ng

in saying that our number of bona fide sub-

scribers is as large, of the daily, ti" and

weekly Issues as any other paper in theState. And we do not send out fifty copiesper week, that aro not regularly subscribed andpaid for.

The Standard may send out more copies perweek, but its Editor is a sclf-ma-do candidatefor Governor ; and as he refuses to "haranguethe people for votes," he makes use of his

paper as an electioneering sheet, and sends outthousands of copies free hoping to make itPJt DJ securing his election for Governor.But be has had his hand in, and fattened fromthe public crib so long, that he can't bear tbeidea of any one else getting a nubbin. Thegreedy fellow.

The Standard asks Gov Vance" Why didnot you play the man and the Governor, bytelling the soldiers that although yon differedwith us (it) as to the policy of the peace meet-

ings, yet in your opinion we were a loyalsonthern man ?"

Perhaps . the Governor was not of thatpinion : and if not, he could not say what

Mr. Holden wanted him to declare, withoutpracticing a certain "art" that is very com

Bon with himself. The Governor no doubtdid not desire initiation into that degree of4h "black art."

" Shin a yvar own Side."The CofMervrttee says that Gev. Graham, Mr.

Gilmer, Judge Reads, Mr. 8. F. Patterson, Mr.Warren, Mr. Boyden, Gen. Leach, and ethers,are for Qov. Vanoe. The Progrt says they,and many more, are for Mr. Holden. And thusby this double aanipulatien, these distinguish-ed leaders ef eenservative polities in NorthCarolina, are converted into ia'dia rubber bandyballs, and are sainneysd about, at the divertise-me- nt

of the players, who are cudgelling eachothers shins in the amusing 'rencounter withadmirable dexterity. Shin on your own sieie.

We have no doubt, ourselves, how all thenamed gentlemen are. It is a,, moral impossi-bility that either one ef them . can support theself-ma-de ; but why they permit themselves tobe thus used, ere confess is an enigma.

THE " ORPHAN FUND" IN THFWEST.Mb. Editor : In the last f ourteen days, I

have delivered twelve speeches and sermonsin nine of the Western counties. rlhe sub-

scriptions have been as follows:Cabarrus, $ 1,000 Buncombe, $23,940Lincoln, 13 576 McDowell, 5,180Cleaveland, 15,120 Burke, 8,850Rutherford, 7,669 Cldwell, 13,650Henderson, 4,883 Catawba, 3,450Making in all, if my hasty account be correct,

97,418.In addition there are donations of gold, and

of a tract of land, value not yet ascertained,bringing tho total to about $100,000. Insome of the counties, other donations havebeen made since I left. The labor and travelhave been severe, but greatly cheered by uni-form kindness and hospitalities. I harebrought from the hills swtet myrrh for mem-

ory.I published appointments before I knew

that Gov. Vance was to visit the west. Wecome together. It is but common justice tosay that His Excellency, in courtesy and en-dorsement of ray mission, did much to makemy tour profitable and pleasant, Indeed, allright-minde- d men, of all parties, are ready toaid a work so catholic, so patriotic, so just andso noble.

The subscribers in the several counties willfind the subscription papers in the hands ofthe following gentlemen :

Lincoln county, Col. Michal,Cleaveland county, Dr. Miller,Rutherford do Dr. Craton,Henderson do Rev. Mr. Burnett,Bumcombe do Messrs. Taylor & Wood,McDowell- - do Rev. Mr. Edwards,Bnrke do W.F McKesson, Esq.,Caldwell do J..R. Wilson, Esq.,Catawba de M. M. McCorkle, Esq.,It is earnestly requested that the subscrip-

tions bo closed by bend or cash as soon as prac-ticable, as nothing is really accounted untilso received.

Very respectfullyCHARLES F. DEEMS.

Not Agreed. The "Raleigh Conservativeurges Mr. Holden to withdraw, give in hisadhesion to Gov. Vance, and do away withthe political excitement. We hope) lie willdo no such thing. That would be to "scotchthe snake, not kill it." We wish to havedone now and forever, with the political aspi-rations of Mr. W. W. Holden. And if heruns now and he cank well help doing sothe object will be accomplished;, he will bebeaten so far out of sight that he will neveragain be a candidate for. Governor. If howere to withdraw now, he would sometimehence set up a claim to bo elected because oftnai ast.

Of all the ridiculous pretences that we haveever seen in the course of our experience, thefollowing from Mr. Maiden's smaller organ inRaleigh is the climax :

"Wake, Johnston, Granville, ChathamHarnett, Cumberland and ether neighboringcounties will all go for ;Mr. Holden by largomajorities.

"The leading Destructives here, all ofwhom support Gov. Vance, have abandonedall hopes of his election."

We cannot speak for Wake, Johnston, &.;but the idea that Cumberland is going forHolden by a large majority, is decidedly rich.Why wepositively declare that wt do notknow by name, either of our own knowledgeor on the authority of any one else, a singleman in this county who avpws that he willvote for Holden. We occasionally hear of aman whose neighbors suspect him of such an '

f retention. Fay. Observer.

From tie Aeheyille News.At a meeting of the citizens of Ashevilla,

held at the Court House, on Saturday, June18, 18C4, called for the purpose of giving ex-

pression to their regrets at the fall of the lateLieutenant General Leonidas Polk. N. W.Woodfia, Esq., was called to the chair, andB. J. Aston appointed Secretary.

Col. J. A. Fagg moved that a committee ofthree be appointed to draft a suitable preambleand resolutions, expressive of the sense of themeeting, whereupon Cols.J. A. Fagg, StephenLee, and R. W. Pulliam, were appointed tocompose said committee.

After a few moments the committee, throughtheir chairman, Col. Lee, presented the follow-ing preamble and resolutions, which wereunanimously adopted :

It having pleased Almighty God to removefrom his post of great honor and usefulness,the Rt. Rev. Bishop Leonidas Polk, Lieuten-ant General in the Army of the Southern Con-

federacy ; while we bow with profound sub-mission to the fiat of the. Judge of all theearth, yet we feel that He will forgive us if,in our blindness and weakness, we deplorethisevent, apparently so disastrous to the cause ofthe country, and mingle our tears with thefamily called upon to offer such a costly sacri-fice on the altar of duty. Therefore,

Resolved, That in the sudden death of Lieut.General Polk the Confederacy has lost one ofits strongest supports, and the Church ofChrist a bright and shining light.

Resolved, That we deeply sympathize withthe bereaved widow and children of tha de-ceased patriot.

Resolved, That these proceedings be publish-ed in the Asheville News and Raleigh papers,apd a copy be sent to Mrs. Gen. Polk, x

On motion, the meeting adjourned.N. W. WOODFIN, Ch'n.
