State authorities and were refused, ha\e
have joined Lincoln’s troops, and are now
marshalled against ns. Col. Hawkins
promises them protection, and also to take
them away in his vessels if compelled to
abandon the place.
As to the correctness* of the above we
know nothing certain, bat will, at present,
content ourselves with a few' remarks con
cerning these people and their country.
Hatteras banks on which tlicy reside.stretch
for many miles along our coast, at a distance
of about twenty-five miles from the main
land, of a desolate and barren character,
with a sparse and stunted growth of live
oak and Hoxcuponia; and are really, neith
er geographically nor politically, n prift of
North Carolina.
The inhabitants ore a very peculiar race,
known as bankers or wreckers, subsisting
almost entirely by fishing, fowling and
wrecking; acting, as occasion requires, as
pilots for vessels entering the sounds.—
They' hail from almost every quarter of the
globe, and are generally ignorant apd
superstitious; and, although seen on the
map as a part of Hyde county, they are
politically independent, knowing little and
caring less, for the governmental regula
tions of North Carolina. Their manners,
customs and habits are very peculiar in
deed.
Separated by nature from the rest of the
State, with all their inclinations, aad feel
ings turned seaward, they are really averse
to any fellowship or community' of interest,
with the State proper. They have very
little property of any kind, and are really
mbch less concerned about the la'vs and
regulations of State policy than they ar.e
about the laws that govern "the winds arid
tides What do they' care for tax bills or
stay laws/ They have nothing to tax,
and a most efficient stay law has been in
operation among them ever since tlieir ex
istence as a people.
Many queer stories are told of them con
cerning particular kinds of lights seen
upon the banks during stormy weather,
and also concerning the especial good care
taken of wrecked goods, smuggling, <fce.
They have no good feeling for North Caro
lina, either as a State or people, since they'
regarded the whole concern as an infringe
ment upon tlieir lawless habits of life.
They know nothing, and cave less, about
the great principles at issue between the
North and South, and would just as-soon
live under the Government of I-Ta.uce,
England, or Russia, as any other, pro
vided they can only carry on the wrecking
business unmolested.
If is all nonsense to say that they took
the oath because they arc Abolitionists and
are more loy'al to the North than South;
they, so far as principle is concerned, chre
nothing for country, hut love themselves
supreme!}', and would, in turn, just as
willing desert to England, France and a
half dozen other powers, were they stic-
cessively to capture these hanks. They
didn’t desert to our Northern foes because
of a preference for the principles of the
Abolition Government, but simply because
they’ have no principles, in matters of
Government, of any kind.
Don't Ik 1 alarmed, oftf Abe hasn't gained

Messrs Editors :
If you please allow me space for a few
words in reference to the election of Gov
ernor. Yont' paper occasionally comes
into this section of the State; and just now
itsccmsto.be a welcome visitor. We
.have but lew papers to advocate the re-
election of Gov. Brown, and in my’ opinion
if there were not A press in the State to
speak for him, tho people wrtuld elect
him.
His administration of tho State Govern
ment for Jour years, speaks for, him. The
people know him. He has been tried.—
They Icnitfr he has mad© a good Gov
ernor, and they will stand by Lim.
There is no doubt but a large majority
of tli'('. leading politicians in this section nro
opposed to Iris election. He cannot be
used by them, The same is true of the
ncitspajrcrs—they arc generally controlled
by tli© politicians. The cities and large
ton'iif* constitute the backbone of the oppo
sition to Gov. Brown, Is it possible,
Messrs. Editors, that the Banks have any
thing to do with the opposition of Gov.
Brown in the cities ? It has been said
that the Banks have not been very friend
ly’ towards him for two or three y'ears
past. Yon may’ have Observed, Messrs.
Editors, that in the late convention the ci
ties Were generally’ fully represented.
How do you account for this 1
But, Messrs. Editors, the moment yon
"9 among the honest, solid men of the
connfry’, icnrlcing tnen, the fanners, the tax
payers, there you will find the supporters
of Gov. Brown.
The press may Take ground against him;
the politicians may talk against him; the
people will resjiond to them all; we have
tried \\wifour years, he has proved fait if/ /
and we want no change voir ! A blood
war is being wapedsgninst us; we must meet
the invader. All necessary taxation we will
cheerfully meet, and under the administra
tion of Gov. Brown, we know from expe
rience, there wijl be no extravagance.
Our taxation will be made as light as pos
sible. A view to economy has marked
every step ot his administration.
These honest people say, that the great
argument about a third term, is all bosh
and humbug, gotten up for a. purpose.
They say in peace,lie was a good Gover
nor; in war ho has been a model Gover-
ernor. and so long as the cannon of the
eninny are thundering at our gates, we
will not throw overboard this tried and
skillful pilot, though we were to vote for
him the thirteenth time.
They say, he is one of U6, eminently one
of the pn.pt'c ; he knows our wants and our
interests, and we will vote for him a third
time.
He has made a good Governor. He has
been tried—weighing in the balances and
not found wanting, and we will vote for
Run* a third tone.. - - * - . ;
He has used economy in his administra
tion for four years—wo arc satisfied he
will do the saine for the next two y’ears,
and tve will, vote for him for a third term.
He has brought order out of confusion
on (he State Road, and has paid money
int© the Treasury and reduced taxation,
and we will all go to the polls and vote for
him again—even the third time.
lie has sternly and inflexibly dischar
ged his duties as Gqvernor, and neither
threats nor importunities could move him
from it; politicians cannot use him; the
press cannot Intimidate him, and we will
support him for a third term.

movements, Gen. Koseueranz conceived tho' , nr should be in great demand in the army
" *— * for Guard Duty or other out door duties
to which the soldier is always subjected—
and as a good,article of this fabric is ex
tremely hard to find in our State at the
present time, I would recommend to the
stragatic movement which oocasioned onr with
draws! from the other side of Gauiey. Without
the knowl-dge of Gen Lee, Rosencranz put him
self at the head of 9,000 men four thousand ol

three or four days, precipitated his superior
. ohimns upon us when we only had a day’s
knowledge of his advance, Though our regiments

only 1750 available men to their arms, we deter

more than four long hours, four times repulsing
his assaults, and silencing his guns, with a loss to
him, as wo are credibly informed by those W-ho
have since! passed through his camp' of fromItdO

Had General Wise reinforced ns with I,I/O!) men,
or had it been possible for the North Caroline, and
Georgia regiments to have eome to onr assistance
in tim-, we could, doubtless,-have whipped Rosen
cranz as hadfvon the morning of the llthas we
had done on the evening of the Iflth. Indeed, we
think it highly probable we could have whipped
him anyhow, but. as retreat would have been im-
poesblo under the fire of the enemy, and. in the
possible event of defeat, we should all have been
slaughtered or captured, our prudent General
thought it dangerous to hazard so much upon the
c*«t of a single die.
To retire to this side of the Ganley, therefore,
was the only safe alternative h-ft*ns, and the w is
dom of tnis movement was (ullv endorsed on the
next day by a dispatch from Gen. Lee. advising us
of oar danger, and suggesting the step We had
taken.

If the war in which we are now onggged
is to he a long one—and no one is wise en
ough to predict when it will terminate—
tiie poople of the Southern- Confederacy
will ho called upon to look ahead and find
a substitute for the (juantity of Northwest-
bacon they have generally used, and the
want of which, since the blockade, has
caused so much inconvenience. Every' ef
fort that possibly can, will be made to in
crease the amount of pork, usually’ rinsed
in the Southern Gonfcderacy; but we
doubt whether enough can he niade to pre
vent, during another year, and the same
inconvenience to which we are at present
subjected. Fortunately the Southern
States possess beef of the best quality, and
in any number, and the indications are
that it will he of finer quality this season
than nsual. Now, all we have to do, is to
pickle or salt this article in large quan
tities; and the demand for bacon will be
lessoned fully thirty or forty’ per cent.
The Yankees, who know so well how to
make money, pack up thousands of tier
ces of beef every season, all of which
meets with most ready sale. iA. great ma
ny of the cattle which have been driven
from Virginia to Baltimore and Philadel
phia were thus used. When well pickled
it keeps well for two or. throe years, and
is regarded by many as much better and
healthier than bacon. Besides being pub
lic heneiactoTS, we hnv© no • doubt that
the business would lie very ptoiitahio; to
those who will undertake it, as, in all pro
bability, provisions will continue in active
demand.—Richmond Enquirer.

By my letter iff BVh August fast. aiWressfttt to
Judge Wliitafcur, I gxvn tlia reasons Which then
induced, and .still indue*! me, ,te occupy t Im posi
tion of a candidate for tho otfico of Governor for
another term. Old party lines having been blot
ted out; I bait hoped that the Wtttrnoss 1 which
pnrty divisions hail engendered would have
ceased to exjst, auJ that, our wholq people would
bo permitted to devote their undivided attentioq
to the prosecution of the war which our Northern
enemies are so UTtjn!rt!y and wickttdly wiqViVig
against ns. Unfortunately for tho country, a port
tion of thopoliticisns of Georgia have determined
otherwise, and have persisted ip their purpose of
inaugurating while, we are all united upon the
great qiwstion so vital to Our welfare! thc oUl cau-
eus syttora. which. iuthe days of pairty divisions;
was usqiliLi thobejs-t ipwhinery to.uiahitititt patty",
and which is tue ntost certain merits of. reviving
party strife's amjsecuring party ascendancy. I Jo
not pretend to say that These cartemvs were not
necessary so long ns parties wort neoessiry t but
I deny their utility or expediency when parties
have ceased to exist. When principles are uo
longer in istwie, and tlic people h&Yttfjiiiy to choose
between men, why not permit them to do so in
the maimer pointed out.Jiy. the Constitution, at
the ballot box. untrammeled by the dictation of
politicians, ortho action ot political conventi'ms ?
Those who advocate the conventions and its nom-
inoo pretend that -harmony is the object moat
desired by them, but tbvy are only willing to have
it upon condition that they be permitted to select
the Governor for tho whole people Df the State.
They propose to select tlieir owu favorite for the
office, and. if all other persons will sacrifice their
preferences and unite on the person, preferred by
the convention, they are willing to have perfect
harmony. But if an overwhelming majority of
the people of the State, who lire opposed to the
convention, ehooso to think for themselves and
chance to differ from the convention, they cannot
consent.to sacrifice their own preference for the
sake of harmony. In a word, the harmony which,
they advocate means that everybody else must
think as they think and act they act; nr else
everybody else is -wrong, and there is no har
mony. ..
IIow could the convention expect to harmon
ize the people of the Stato by adding one to the
number of candidates already' in the field ? - But It
is claimed that all! other candidates-' should have
withdrawn so soon PS the convention ,j*ct.;d and
signaled their candidate. Ilad the wholp peo
ple of the State', or even a majority of them, been
represented in the convention, there would have
been some reasons why all should yield to its dic
tation. So far from this having been true, how
ever, the persons actually represented in the con
vention aid not amount even to a respectable mi
nority. ’ * ■ “■ * -' ’’' 1 *'• - '• ” '

dielhrton of twelve hundred! und fifty persimsln ihe
other filly counties, who have assumed the right to
select.tlujir Govcnior for them, and wh
might have the snme Governor for life. He who
makes this objection greatly underrates the intel
ligence of -the people and tlieir competency for
self-government, and i3 therefore a (it advocate of
the caucus system at the present time. If the peo
ple have the intelligence and the capacity to
govern themselves, they certainly know when the
public interest requirs that the samo wan be
elected for a third term, and when ho should be
discharged, at the and of the secoud or even the
first term. I hey will judge the Executive by his
acts,and will retain him in office no longer than
the -public interest requires bis services.
The advocates of the caucus system scetn to be
afraid to trust the people, and prefer to decide all
all these questions in advance lor them.
If I larve mail correctly the published resolu
tions passed .by tiie convention, my administration
was found by them to be faultlesss, as they did not
venture to coudeipn, it, or to make an issue and
go before the people censuring a single at tof it.
Itisajust conclusion, therefore, that the only
reason which iuduced them to souk a change
was their great desire to maintain the usage, and
to have the other offices in the State distributed
over again.
iLis due to candor, however. I admit, that the
convention passed one private resolution, which
they did not publish, a copy of which they direct
ed to he forwarded to me by their Secretary. Tiie
substance of this resolution is u request to me to
order certain troops, now iu the service of the Con
federate States, from one locality to another. As
1 have under the Constitution and laws no man
ner of jurisdiction or control over these troops, it
is my misfortune to be unable to gratify the con
vention by a compliance with the request, and, as
they were resolving about a matter of which they
seemed to be in utter ignorance, we can hut ad
mire their prinjcnce in withholding the publication
of. tho resolution: and in this connection, as 1
have referred to the private action of the conven
tion, I may bq excused for making the additional
remark, that tlieir prudence was equally com-
rnenaahle’in withholding arid refusing to publish
their purutf ballotings.for a candidate. They did
not meet, in open convention in the usual way,
and ballot openly, letting tiie strength of each
candidate in the convention be-seen-and publish
ed ; but, if I ain correctly inlormed, they conduct
ed their ballotiugs prirulehj iu committee, where
unanimity did not prevail. It is said that,Judge
Nisbet.receiycd live districts iu this private-caucus,
and, as the other live districts were divided be
tween other gentlemen, it was thought best that
they yield their preferences, and that his name be
reported unanimously back to tiie convention in
open, session.
It would, seem, therefore, that the candidate
was only the clioice of half the convention, or of
the representatives in convention of six hundred
and twenty five persons in the State, and vet
it is rusi'h-d that he who runs against this nomi
nation is a dhorganizer, and is seeking to engen
der party strifes by dividing the people.
As my name, aud the name of another distin
guished citizen were both before the people as can
didates before the convention assembled, and as
the convention represented, as I have shown, a
very small fraction of the people, they certainly
have ho right to charge me with an attempt to
repew party issues. \Yhen I announced my name
there were no party issues' and no other candidate
in the field. I acted in compliance with the wish
and at the solicitation of a large number of our
fellow-citizens in different parts of the State, in
cluding some of the most distinguished persons
in the State. My action met the approval of the
people', as is shown by the course of the large
majority of counties which refused to have any
thing to do with tho convention alter iny name
was announced as an independent, candidate. I
presented before the people an administration
which the convention lias not attempted to con
demn or criticise, and I raised my voice against
llie assemblage of a caucus because of its tendency
to re kindle tho fires of party strife at a time when
-our whole people should he a unit, for the protec
tion of life, liberty, property, and all that is dear
to 119.
The politicians and office seekers determined
that a convention should he field, and a caucus
candidate nominated. They have carried their
purpose into execution, and have set tbo prece
dent of selecting candidates by caucuses when
we have ho parlies—and as they are sticklers for
precident and usage, they will of course expect
the people, if they acquiesce in this mode of se
lecting candidates now, to continue to do so in
future-r-aud the caucus system is again fastened
upon us.for all time to come, aud lie who refuses
to bow to its dictation is to be put under the ban
las a demagogue ami distractorof the public peace
If this movement is not checked in its incipieue-y.
the inevitable result w ill bo the revival of party di
visions, with all the bitterness, wrangling, strite
and corruption which have marked tlieir progress
in the past. .Should such unfortunately be the
ease, I foel that I can conscientiously say, that
it has not been done by my act. or with my con
sent. By their refusal to sanction the proposition
to liohl a convention, tbo people have indicated
their approval of my course, iu submitting my
name,independently; and I now! leave with them
tlie.determination of the question at tbo ballot-
lio$, not doubting that they will pronounce such
a vpiujetas will best promote the general vvcl
fare. , .

Ottr Army at Camp Onytcotid.—A letter was ;
yesterday receiyed by one of our editors from an
officers in Wise’s Legion. The letter is dated
“Camp Dogwood, Ssptember 12th ” It says;
“Floyd's Brigade. Wise's Legion, and Cols.
Tcfmpkins’and McCbuisland’s Regiments, are at
piesent encamped here, 14 miles cast of Gauiey
Bridge. There are two other regiments, one from
North Carolina, the other from Georgia, 14 miles
east of our position.
“Matters look really warlike. On yesterday,
Floyd's forces fell back from Cam!fix Ferny to this
point. In his engagement with Rosencranz on
Tuesday, lie was slightly wounded in the arm by
a musket ball. Wise’s forces also fell back from
Hawk’s Nest on yesterday, fo this place. AtCot.
ton IlilL which is hear Gauiey River aud opposite
Hawk's Nest, there aro about 2,600militia from
Monroe, Mercer, &c., under command of Gen.
Chapman.
“While we have united our forces ns abovo, the
enemy (it is ssid”) 8,00(1 strong, were crossing
Cartiifnx Ferry, yesterday evening, in pnrsnit Of
Floyd; so a day or two may bring forth very im
portant results for this part of Virginia. If wo
are victorious, (as we expect to hc.j then our
march to the Kanawha Valley will he easy, as
General Cox's force at Ganley Bridge and neigh-'
borhood do not number over 3,500 men, arid we'
believe they wiil run so soon as we gain a victory

ICviiciistion of Ship Island.
Night before last, at 8 o'clock, the evacuation j
ol Ship Island by tho Louisiana troops was com
pleted, th® fort Uismaiilied and the guns, ammu
nition, ete., removed. This work was performed
under the supervision of. Cel, Duncan and Limit.

Bridges and Lient. Setnmes, of the regular ser
vice. Thirty-two hours were consumed it) destroy
ing the fort, soldiers’ quarters, etc., and In remov
ing the troops and armament, during which tiipe
two war steamers, two frigates and .several Small
er vessels belonging to Old Abe Lincoln’s fleet
were in sight, but at a respectful distance they
not daring to interfere with tliP debarkation of our
men 1
Had tint, the officers of th® Lincoln fleet been
terribly friphtened by tho appearance of our trans
ports in tiie vicinity of the Island—evidently
thinking that they brought reinforcements to th*
garrison—they might havo ranaod our men much
annoyance, if not great loss of life. The evacua
tion of Ship Island was a military necessitv, and
the officers who had charge of tho work deserve
much credit f <r the admirable and successful man
ner in which it was executed. Yesterday the
blockadrrs, we understand, approached the Is
land and threw several!shell into tho deserted
fort, and finding no enemy on the Island; vali
antly landed and hoisted tho United States fla:

The' Richmond Enquirer rightly remarks that
there can be no doubt but that many persons aro
quite out of tlu ir proper places, iu the military
service of th<> Confederacy Boys, who should
t#e rending classics, aro jeopardizing their lives
under inexperienced officers and the wretched
sanitary condition of our camps. Should tins
war last several years, where are wo to look for
reinforcements when our youth are already in the
field ? And when pence is finally attained, where
will be our educated meu—our literary rank
amoug nations!— while education is now being
needlessly neglected, and mere hoys permitted to
join tho ranks, becanse carried away by real, with
out discretion, the novelty of camp life present
ing morn attractions to them than college disci
pline. 1 ! Gymnasiums and military exercises com
bined, with a regular educational course, might
do,more fur our future than the slight addition of
these young lads to our forces now, and parents
should spare no influence in enforcing the educa
tion of their sons, as a mattej of vitRl importance
to tiie future welfare of our conn try, which must
not be lost sight of in the excitements of the pres
ent.— Mercury.

Important lUjmrt.—Tfie Nashville banner of the
tWd says there is no doubt the Fed era Is and Con-
federates had aniinportant engagement at and near
Paducah, on Thursday last, mid that General
Johnston is now in possession of Paducah. The
report is that about 15,000 Confederates under
General Cheatfmni. at Milbnrn, some 3fl miles
from l’nducah, were .attacked by the greater por
tion of .Grant's forces and the latter wete repulsed:
and that at the same time Gen. Johnston made an
attack on the city—both carrying everything be
fore them.
This news is brought partly by a young man
who was in Paducah on Wednesday,"and heard
the firing all day Thursday, and is judged partly
by other circumstances to be true.—So. Confederacy

From the Savannah News.
Those Batteries,
Mr. Editor: Rufor* it is too late let ns all nn
derstaud one another. Who is for the sea island
batteries and who is against them? A perfect
storm of abuse has been brewing, and has been
discharged upon tho heads of different officials
because the coast was not defended. Three ont of
even’ fonrmetl, and all the ladies, have demanded
that batteries should be erected upon the islands
“to protect the coast of Georgia.”
Well, white they were fuming about it, the bat
teries were bring silently built aud mounted.—
Now, there they are, just what so many said should
be done. It is done. The batteries are built,
mounted and maimed. Built amidst the pitiless
storm raised faronnd the ears of these who were
doing lhe work by those who never have bent
tlieir fingers to help.
And all the time they wero working to place the
batteries there, they did not dare to open tlieir
mouths for fear of bringing on a discussion, which
these people who do nothing but talk were so ready
to engage in.
Such was the pressure 6n the Virginia frontier
that the Governor took Sway all the arms from the
ar3ena1, and the President ordered away all the
armed and. disciplined troops, so that, at one time,
when the outcry ran the highest, they had not a
hundred men ou tlie coast, nor a glia to give n
recruit, nor a-cannon to mount on its own proper
carriage.
Theso difficulties have been orercome, and the
batteries built, mounted and mafined. And what
is the result !
If te-morrow, one of those batteries should be
tnkon, men, gnns, stories and all, (which can bo
done in two hours by a strong force of ships and
gunboats ) what a cry would he raised by these
people who do all the excitement and none of the
work. And yet which of them would be one of
the one'100.00(7 men that would be necessary to
man all those batteries.
Air. Editor, if I. was the General commanding
I would take every gun and every man off every
island south of ifie Ogechce and fortify the main-
land' I would fcr-t the enemy land, and thru attack
him.
I have shown my hand brfote the batteries aro
taken, and tvlu h it is all oyer / shall have the
right to say, “I toid yon so!”

Sagamite— Portable Food for Scouts.—
’Pke old liistorinns and travellers, and
Indian fighters, tell ns of an adirrirable and
easily portable flood, which the Red men
nlways carried vrith them in their ponchos
when oathoir hunting and war parties.
It was a combination of Indian meal and
broiWmsugar, three parts bf th© former to
one of tliq latter, browned together over
the firi©: TliiS food, in small quantities,
not only sufficed to arrest hnnger, but to
allay thirst. This is the famous sagamite
of tli© Red fifori. 1 A few pounds in one’s
haversack, would occupy little space, and
would stove for .-several days. Let onr
boys, here and there, try the preparation
in camp, and 1 earn th© uses of the article
before going on a march. Their friends
migh t prepare a supply of it in the cities,
and forward to the camp; and if, upon
experiment, it shall prove palatable, it
may be prepared in any quantities. In
