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 'star ofindependeifce, flashing through the darkness in tho east, shall fill lh« wholo earth with its heal 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 within hearing ol tbo bells of the Rich-mond cbur 1 1 -. rn entlj ited tbe expecie,1 niomei t ofo triumphal entry into 1 In.'

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.

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.

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 'star ofindependeifce, flashing through the darkness in tho east, shall fill lh« wholo earth with its heal 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 within hearing ol tbo bells of the Rich-mond cbur 1 1 -. rn entlj ited tbe expecie,1 niomei t ofo triumphal entry into 1 In.'

The who!.: of 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. Tennessee, il not complotoly re-gained, must - • 11 I 0 in our hai dt», at least up to Mempl i-, ai.d Iventui ky, on the Boil of which we n hei to held more than atremblingand hesitating footing, is wel-coming the triumphal 1 1 ol our libera-ting 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.
