CAMP NSAE KINSTOK, N. C. \
March 27, 1864. f
MB. EDITOR —I observe in your issue of the 25th
inst., a communication purporting to have be^en
wiitten from Rutlierlord county, over the signature
ot "Simon," which in my opiVon, does great injus-tice
to the people of that county, and which, though
it affords a horrible mutilation of the " King's En-gli-
h," deserve?, *s I thiok, a slight notice from me.
lest tho-ewho are unacquainted with the political
complexion of the people of this gallant county
might, unwittingly, give credence to the malignant
slander that this "Hirnon" would perpetrate on an
innocent people. While I am not only candid but
pi ou! to admit that the people of Rutherford are
eminently conservative in their sympathies, I would
spurn with indignation the imputation that they
would suppoitthe not only very doubtful but sneak'
ing policy of Mr Holden and his friends, wHo have
persistently nrgleeted to exhibit the manliness to
come iorward and tell the people upon-what princi-ples
they claim their suffrages.
It is uot sufficient to satisfy the intelligent and
patriotic people of Rutherford for Mr. Holden and
his lesser lights, to tell them that be is (or peace.—
While the people of Rutherford desire peace, as all
good men desire it. they would indignantly spurn
the idea of obtaining it upon any terms that would
compromise the honor and dignity of the S'ate and
contai'n any other terms for its basis than the inde-pendence
of the South. These are the sentiments
of the people of Rutherford county : and it was to
secure peace on these terms that they have nobly
sent forth their sons to do battle in the caase of a
common, bleeding country.
■• Simon' says vary truly that Vance's name was
lirst put before the public tor the position he now
occupies by the people of Rutherford. But further
on in his communication, I observe the following re-markable
language: " What has he done in any
to recompense the people for what they have done
for him ! Has he set on foot any plan for negotia-tion
J Has he stood square up to the liberties and
sovereignty of the State?"
The last sentence is so ridiculously nonsensical,
.hat I refuse to reply to it. But what has Gover-nor
Vance done to entitle him to the suffrages of the
people? He assumed the gubernatorial chair at a
time when the affairs of our State, both financial
and military, were in a fearfully confused and neg-lected
condition. Our soldiers were barefooted,
their clothes were worn out, the means at the com-mand
of their friends at home were to a gre.it ex-tenl
exhausted, while, the enemy was making fear-ful
inroads on our territory from the coast of our
State, tiov. Vance turned out of office bad men
and supplied their places with good men—with men
whose competency and genuineness of patriotism
were unquestionable. He devised means at once by
which our gallant, self-sacrificing soldiers should be
clad—vessels were procured and arrangements made
to purchase doming abroad, and the result U, our
soldiers ire better clothed than any troops in the
Confederacy. They are supplied with blankets—in
■ word, everything that can make them comforta-ble.
And more, the Governor has nucceeded in pro-curing
a sufficient quantity of clothing to clothe ev-ery
soldier from North Carolina, for more than a
year from the present time Nor is this all; while
caring for tan- soldiers in the field, Gov. Vance has
in.i forgotten their suffering wives and children at
home. He has taken care mat they should be f. d
and cared for as much us circumstances would per-mit
But this is not all yet: Gyv. Vance has ever
1.1 en jealous and careful of ihe honor and integrity
of the S'ate. and has not been unmindful of the
rights and liberties ofthepiople. He -as permit-led
no innovation on the rights and liberties of the
people ol North Carolina.
•• Simon " complains that he permitted the con-script'on
of the principals ot substitutes. Governor
Vance is sworn to yield obedience to the constitu-iiou
of the Confederate States and the laws of Cou-gress
und rhe law of Congress requiring the
principals of substitutes to go into the army has
been decided to be constitutional. Does •'Simon "
expect liov- Vance, in violation of his oath, to re-a
constitutional law of the land? Does he ex-pect
Gov. Vance to attempt to nullify the constitu-ioo
i acts of Congress?

THE WAR DEBT OF THE NORTH.
The enormous debt of the North, every day rap-idly
accumulating, is beginning to challenge the at-tention
of the people. The present debl of the
Washing) >u Government is said to exceed three thou-tand
million*. The Washington correspondent of the
New Yoik Independent, one of the most rabid aboli-tion
papers in Ihe whole Noith, writes :
In i financial writers of the country and the able
financiers ol the Government, are at last waking lo
the real condition of the national finances. Mr
Met ullough says the country is not in a prosperous
ondition Mr. Ch ..-e has said this for months. The
country is not rich. Individuals amass money from
the war, but the nation necessarily grows poor.—
The finances are becoming a perplexing study,
The Albany Argus, in the following article, ad
mils the almost hopelessness of the North ever be-ing
abl» lo pay off its debt. It says :
Even Mr. Weed admits that •• when the war ter-minates
we shall find that it has cost us at least four
thouiand million* of dollars—three-fourths of which
amount will remain a national debt." And he proph-ecies
"an approaching momentous financial ciisis-a
crisis which if not, so far as possible, seasonably
provided for, may prove as severe a trial as the war
thai has produced it "
The sovereign remedy for credit, he proposes, is
the repeal of the Homestead law, in order that the
[ml lie lauds may serve to sustain public debt. But
the scheme is a gross delusion. The speculators of
the recent Congress have given up large sections of
tiiese lands to railroad and other corporatiens—the
last Congress donated millions of acres to Agricultu-ral
Colleges, 80,000sieres to each Senator and mem-ber
of Congress, under the census of 1800 : and our
Pension system will require still larger tracts when
our armies an- discharged.
Tne pub.ic lands have thus greatly diminished ;
and the p in that remains unappropriated is the
least valuable The sterile plains»tha: stretch be-tweenthe
Mississippi Valley and the Pacific slope

thai nearly all ol the amble lands belonging lo Gov-ernment"

TUB GAPS IK CIIMBEBAASP MOUVTAIX.—The spe-cial
correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle and
Sentinel, writing from Powell's Valley in Virginia :
Cumberland mountain is ia sight, and the State of
Kentucky is but ten miles distant. There are a good
many gaps in the Cumberland mountains.
Pound gap is a pass sixty miles from Abingdou.
due north, and before our forces had consumed all
the forage, &c, in the country, it was not difficult
for a traveler to find good accommodation* at any
point by the way. Along this road all the stock,
Ac, that was heretofore sent from the State of Ken-tucky
to the Sooth was driven, lt is an excellent
wagon road. From Pound Gap to Big Creek Gap,
it is one hundred and lorty miles Between these
two gaps are many others, smong them Big Stone
Gap, Crank's Gap/and Cumberland Gap ltisfor
ty miles from Big Stone G«.p to Pound Gap—about
twenty eight miles from Big Stone to Crank's Gap,
and thirty-six to Cumberland fromCtank's Gap, and
about thirty or forty five from Cumberland G»p to
Big Creek Gap.
Big Creek and Cumberland Gaps, lead from Ken-tucky
into Tennessee, and Pound, Big Stone and
Crank's Gaps lead from Kentucky into Virginia, it
is seventy five miles from Cranky Gap to Bristol.—
This nor Big Stone Gaps are passable for wagons.
It is sixty miles from Knoxville to Cumberland Gap,
and about forty-five from Knoxville to Big Creek
Gap.
The people on this side of the mountains are pa-triotic
and loyal, but those in Kentucky, just over
the big hills, are the vilest of bushwhackers, and
can well be termed semi barbarians. They rail
themselves Union men, bul. will murder a Yankee
soldier for plunder as quick, as they will a Confed-erate-
Ihe women, if anything, are more demoral-ized
than the men.
THE LOST BOOK or SOLOMON.—We have canoni-cal
authority fof belie, P g that Solomon wrote many
volumes tl at are not now known. That charming
moralist, Sir Thomas BrcWne, in his "Religio
Medici"—one of the English classics more talked
of than read in thiB age—retnarks:
"I have heard some with deep sighs lament the
lost lines ol Cicero; others with as many groans de-plore
the combustion of the library of Alexandria;
for my own pait, I think there be too many (books)
in the wotld, and could with patience behold the
urn and ashes of the valiear, could I, with a few
others, recover the perished leaves of Solomon."
Is there not a chance that we may enjoy the treat
so desired ?
The following report is excitingly interesting :
The New "Monthly Magazine" says that M. Rup-pel,
an accomplished traveller, now on his leturn
from Abjssiuia, has discovered, and brings with
him a nuiuBer oi manuscripts of great value, lie
most remarkable of these is a copy of the Bible,
containing an additional bosk by Solomon; one or
two additional of Esdras; and a considerable uddi
tion to the book of Esther. None of these augmen-tations
of the Bible have yet been heard ot in Eu-rope.
It contains also the book of Enoch, and the
fifteen new Psalms, the existence ol which has b' en
for some time known among the learned. Another
curious manuscript is a species of code, which the
Abyssinians carry as farbackjas the Council otNice,
when they say it was promulgated by one of their
kings. This code is divided into two books ; the
first of which relates to the canon law, and treats of
the relations oetween the Church and the temporal
power; and the second is purely a civil code. M.
Ruppel has also with him tome Abyssinian hymns,
which display the only indication of poetry which
has been found to exist among the Abysinians.
CACOHT A TARTAR.—A gentleman from t'lorida
informs the SaVannah •' Republican " of the 80th
ult., that a blockade running schooner, wilh an as-sorted
cargo, ran into Headman's Bay, about teu
days ago, and came to anchor She was soon board
ed by a party of lories and deserters, who helped
themselves to all they could carry off. The Captain,
not liking the neighborhood, weighed anchor aud
was passing out of the Bay, when the vessel inn
aground The blockaders, seeing her in distress,
put out to her in launches, when the crew, seeing
'.hem approach, applied a slow match to a lot of
powder in the hold, poured turpentine over the deck
set it a fire and put out to the shore. The Yankees
joining alongside, boarded the vessel and were hard
»t work putting out the fire, when the powder be-low
exploded, blowing the whole party—numbering
rom twenty-five to thirty—bo " Kingdom come."
Th» real difficulty with the Confederacy is trans-portation.
It is ttie want of transportation that
makes corn worth five times us much here as it is in
Montgomery, Alabama, or in many places in Geor
gia. Ti.ere is enough food in the Confederacy to
save the people irom extortion in particular places,
fit could only be sent to the points where it is
most needed. Whether there is any possibility ot
doing this, we cannot say. Certainly -the railroads
and the government should work so as to do ihe
most that can be done for the people in this respect.
