Any proposition for tho further increase
of our army should, and under our present
prosperous circumstances, might safely be
treated with more deliberation, and that
method sought out which would be most
acceptable to tho people. Then let those
of us who remain at home, bend every
encrgy to the task of clothing and feeding
our defenders in the field, aud providing
for their wives and children. They should
'■onstitute our first care. Ail tho fruits of
the earth should be saved most earcfully;
retrenchment and reform should begin in
our households, and extend to everything
public and private. Now is the time lor
an imitation of thai heroic self-denial by
which our mothers of tho first revolution
rendered tbeir names worthy of a bright
place in history, and I doubt not wc snail
see examples in North Carolina that will
put our boasted manhood to shame.
Fellow citizens, there are also other
dangers which beset us, besides those
which come lrom tho too. Bloody revolu-tions
have necessarily a chaotic tendency.
Yielding ourselves up gradually to martial
law—accustoming ourselves by slow de-grees
to submit to tho exercises of arbi-trary
power in our military leaders, and
looking with lese and less concern upon the
disordered morals which a state of war
always must produce, we may endanger
both civil liberty and the frame work of
society. Tho time-honored principle in
tho charter of our liberties, "that the
military should be subordinate to tho civil
authorities," should still be honored and
maintained. It should never bo departed
from except in eases of most obvious and
undeniable publicnecessity, when the safety
of tho State would otherwise bo imperilled.
It was won through conturies of strifo by
our English, and re-baptized in tho blood
of our American ancestors. Exorbitant
grants or power, to any man or set of men,
are dangerous in the extreme. The gener-ations
of tho earth have seen but one
Washington, and tho sun may pursuo his
great journey among tho 6tars lor many
centuries, before his counterpart is soon
among the sons of men. Tbe judgo, the
Magistrate and tho Sheriff should travel
regularly the path of tbeir accustomed
duties, aud all respect and obedienco yield-ed
them—a custom for which tho good
name of North Carolina has become prov-erbial.
Let all the complicated machinery
of the law, with the numberless auxiliary
organisations of society be kept in unremit-ting
action. Beware ol infringements there-on
under tho plea of necessity; none has
ever been found so plausible and specious
by which to rob the people of their liber-ties.
It is the complacent excuse of the
dcspi ttho world over. Tho people must
keep wat' h at this post. Their officers
fie responsible to them, and must be held
to a strict account. So far as 1 am con-cerned,
next to the preservation of the State
itself, 1 shall regard it my sacred, para-mount
duty to protect tho citizen in the
enjoyment of all his rights and liberties.
.Most assuredly nothing can bo done by
our rulers unless we give them acoidial and
hearty support. 1 beg it at your hands,
icllow citizens, in the great task which you
have set before me; as I shall render it most
cheerfully to those by whom it is expected
of me. Without it, I shall be utterly pow-erless.
Yet that slavish subserviency to
those in power, which injures both giver
and recipient, is t.j be avoided and despised.
i shall need trueirieds, manly friends, who
will both warn and censure as well as
praise when it is due, and with such shall
rind my lrbors lightened and the path ol
duty lees difficult.
We havo every reason to believe that
the great heart of the people of North
(larolina is deeply devoted to the 9trugj.de.
None in the Confederacy havo made greater
sacrifices lo maintain it, and, lam convin-ced
their patriotism will not fail. Our
intrepid and heroic soldiers in our sister
States, though praised with a grudging
spirit and often overlooked or quite slan-dered,
havo yet borne our standards With
undying glory in the front ot every charge;
aud death lias spread no feast to which
they have not sat down by hundreds. The
spirit ol our glorious women has exceeded,
ii possible, the gallantry of our soldiers
in the field. Gag laws, test oaths, and
sedition ordinances, have, thank God, been
uncalled for; and mob violence, that dan-gerous
offspring of rcvolntion has been
equally repressed by tho conservatism of
our people. To continue this happy and
commendable state of things, let all good
citizens exert themselves.
Fellow-citizens, tho futuro depends on
ourselves. The skies aro radiant with the
signs of promise, if wo do but hold faithful
to tbe great work wc have undertaken.—
Our victorious Generals aro everywhere
driving our enemies before them, and the
vast armies which invaded us at the
beginning of the year, have melted away
like lrost before the steady valor of our
troops, until six hundred thousand men are
called for to replace them. Let them come
too, and fear them not,—with shot, shell
and bayonet, a tree poople will welcome
them to the bloody graves of thoir predeces-sors.
The womb ot the futuro, 1 am con-fident,
holds for us a bright and glorious
destiny. The boundaries of our young
Republic, as we hope to sec them estab-lished,
embrace the fairest and noblest
portions of the temperate zone. Innum-erable
miles of great inland and navigable
waters; a mighty sweep of sea coast
indented with magnificant bays and har-bors;
tho unrivaled productions of the
leading commercial staple ofthe earth as a
basis otpnblie Credit; a soil adapted to the
BU icessful cultivation ol almost every article
necessary to the comfort and convenience
ot man, embraced
. reposed in peace in their pro-
■† loines, give the remainder ol their
their country? Our brave regi-ts
have bad their ranks thinned by
all go
that the streams of previous blood with
which our glorious sons have consecrated
tbeir mimes to immortality, shall not be a
vain and unaccepted sacrifice, but through
tho val ir and determination of tlioso who
survive, they shall be rendered efiicacio-is to
tho salvation of lbs nation ; and with hearts
strong lor the mighty task, and purposes
united, we will gice of our substance—give
of our blood; we will toil and struggle, Wo
will sutler and endure, through all tho
dreary watches of the night, nntil the day

darkness in tho east, shall fill lh« wholo

From the Richmond Whig, September '.'th.
A Ticw*-it iJie Field.
AviewoftnoF-i" as it presents itself
at this moment, io replete with hope. After
fifteen months hard fighting, the aspect of
the struggle is again that which it woro at
tbe commencement. But with this differ-ence:
that, whereas the military strength
ot tho two sections, and their respective
resources for attack and defence had not
been tested, now file Southern armies stand
once more upon the confines ot the Northern
territory, flushed with victory, and elated
with anticipation. We have measured the
full force ol Northern prowess, and have
experienced tho lull weight of Northern
power. We know just how much tbey can
accomplish with > loir immense armies and
their boasted wealth. Wo have seen their
insolent hosts % away before tho attack
of disease, or flea bofore the swords and
bayonets of the- Confederates. Wo hate
learned tho character of their troops, and
the skill of their generals. And abvo all
we havo acquired that knowledge of our
own strength, that confidence in our own
soldiers, that belief in our own leaders,
which, engendered by heroic deeds aud
brilliant victories, constitute the most pow-erful
stimulus to renewed aid continued
exertion.
ID regard to tho mere area of territory
now occupied by our forces, and to the ex.
tension of our military lines, we low stand
in a hotter posj.ion than at anytime since
tbe beginning of the war Contrasted with
the situation of four months ago, the differ-ence
is so remarkable as to be, perhaps,
unparalleled in the history ol warfare. At
that time Virginia was invaded by armies
numbering, in the aggregate, 250,000men,
and the whole State north of Janes river,
with the exception of a corner ol too South-west,
which wa-j offset by Federal con-quests
in the S itheast, was in possession
of the enemy. 11.s> grai d army, encamped

Kentucky wat 1 ■ piercd; more than hall
of Tennessee was giv< -i up l--< tiie invader; a
great part of Ark: ne . was overrun, and
Missouri appcan d lo have quietly submit-ted
to tbe Federal yoke. Even in Alabama
and Mississippi and Louisiana, Yankee ar-miesbold
sway over a great extent o(
country, and llio unimpeded navigation ol
the Mississippi seemed to have been sur-rendered
into Yankee ham's. Now the
whole ol Virginia l*a. bei n recovered, with
tiie exception 01 Norfolk and Alexandria,
and a small portion of the d I North-west.

armies. - ^completely
evacuated by General Curtis' torces, aid
Missouri, from No .;; to South, and from
tbe Mississippi lo Kansas, is in a blaze ol
insurrection against the Federal despotism.
From Alabama and IV] ;ippi tho Yankee
troops have been hastily withdrawn, in or-der
to escape impending capture; and even
in Louisiana the enemy's forces scarcely
dare show themselves beyond, the limits of
New Orleans.
The .Mis-:- i] pi,on the control of which
the enemy relied to oonsumate their scheme
of subjugation, has been practically wrest-ed
from their grasp. Washington is
threatened by a powerful Confederate
army, and Cincini ali 11 embli - v. ith appre-hension
of an attack from Gon. Smith's
victorious forces.
When a country commi nces a war with
the avowed design of sal jugating another
country, and, after immense exertions,
attended at limes with partial success,
t sees iis armjes defeated at all points, and
show that they will wage a defensive war
in a very different spirit. We know that,
atone period, a mistaken, but, perhaps,
specious policy prevented tbe capture of
Washington aid the advance of our arm e-beyond
the Potomac, on the ground that
the ardor and rage of tho North no
thereby b'j aroused ; but events bave de-monstrated
that these Stimulants were not
needed to arouse all the vindictiveness and
all the energy of our enemies. We trust,
therefore, that this policy has be 1 defi-nitely
abandoned, and that our Generals
will not be restrained from prosecuting the
war with vigor, and carrying tho scene of
tho campaign into Pennsylvania ant Ohio,
because it might put the Yankees in 0
passion.
Moreover, in a contest like that between
the North and South, wo have all the ad-vantage
in a war of invasion. We do not
mean a war for the purposes of cocquest,
bat a war waged for the purpose of obtain-ing
an honorable peace. Tiie very fact
that tho North is populous and thickly
settled offers superior facilities to the
invading army. Tho very fact that the
•South is thinly settled is one great obstacle
ina largocountry like ours, to anything
like permanent conquest. In the North.
whore we can find a villago ev« ry live
miles, and a large city at the end of "every
day's march, we should find, likewise, a
population far more anxious to preserve
their property by submission, than willing
to risk its destruction by lesiBtance. Wo
shall find no desolatod districts,no granar-ies
destroyed, no towns in flames. We
shall have no impediment-bnt such as the
enemy's beaten and affrighted armies may
bo abio to cast in our way. Wo shall not
suffer for food, or clothing, or trans] 1 -.
lion. All these we can find in the enemy's
country, without the necessity of drawing
on our own refonrcos. If, alter a short
exporienc-o of the effects of invasive war, tho
Yankees aro not willing to come to terms,
tbey will be compelled to open tho next
Spring's campaign in their territory, in-stead
of in ours, and, in the meantime, tho
world will have beccrne convinced ol
hypocricy of tbeir profession*, and the
hollowness of their pretensions.
