Hon. Joseph Holt on the War.
The following letter from Iron. Jo
seph Holt was written in reply to a
letter from CAuctor Barney, of New
York, expressing to him a personal
desire that he would accept an invita
tion which had been sent to him by a
committee of gentlemen to attend :unit
address a public meeting in that city
upon the state of the country and the
issues of the times :
Judge Fiolt's Letter.
Miohington, Oct. 25,1S02.—IIon.IIi
ram Barney—Dear Sir :—Your favor
of the 22d instant has been received.
An invitation similar to that 'which
you so kindly urge upon me I have
been obliged, within the last few days,
to decline, in consequence of engage
ments hero which occupy every mo
ment of my time, and I must now make
the same answer to yourself.
There will doubtless be present with
you, on the occasion referred to those
capable by their eloquence of affecting
all the good that popular addresses
can accomplish. I must be frank, how
ever, and say that to me it seems that
what is at this moment needed is' not
words, however glowing, but heroic
deeds. The tongue of an archangel
could scarcely comfort and animate
the popular spirit in the presence of
the inaction of our armies.
How the Rebellion Stands.
After an unparalleled expenditure of
treasure, and the marshaling of such
armies as the world has never seen,
and sacrifices which are clothing the
land in mourning, at the expiration of
eighteen months from the commence
ment of the Rebellion, we find it more
defiant and determined, and more suc
cessful in its invasions and spoilations,
than at any moment since the struggle
began. This - is from no lack of devo
tion on the part of the people, who
have poured out their blood and treas
ure like water, nor yet front any lack
of courage on the part of our brave
volunteers. Our' soldiers have been
everywhere panting for a sight of the
enemy, while the great heart of the
country, in its solemn and earnest so
licitudes, is like a ground swell of the
ocean, pressing on our threes towards
the battle-field. A saddened belief is
rapidly spreading that, unless the
present condition of things is speedily
changed, our cause will be lost.
Bold and aggressive - Movements De-
manded
An immediate, bold and aggressive
movement upon the enemy, following
up every blow struck and gathering
the fruits of every victory gained, is
what is required for our deliverance.
.To the accomplishment of this single
object the thoughts, the efforts and the
prayers of the whole country should
be directed. If those who are in the
fron t will not go forward, the public safe
ty will demand that they be assigned
positions of the rear. What are the
sensibilities, what the reputation or
what the cherished schemes of any
General in the field, as compared with
the life of such a government and
country as ours? If, with the cloud
less skies and bracing airs and fine
roads of autumn, our vast and com
:-TinfolY 11111 - whited army cannot do its
work, when - wilt Who - at,le to do so?
If Lee, Jackson and Lougstrcet can
move with.promptitude and dashing
celerity, in the cause of treason and
barbaric vandalism, why cannot our
chieftains move as promptly and as
fast in the cause of honor and loyalty?
How much longer will the nation en
dure that all its sacrifices be fruitless?
Its conviction that it possesses, twice
told the power to subdue this rebellion
ismot more complete than, in my judg
ment, will be its determination that
neither the follies nor the crimes of
men shall render that power-unavail
ing.
The Torpidity of our Armies the Cause
of Party Resurrections.
It is this torpor of our armies—this
hope deferred for the hundredth time
—which has unfurled that party ban
ner; whose. shadow is now resting on
SO ninny of the loyal States. It is not
disloyalty that has prompted the de
plorable movement, -but a weariness
and discouragement consequent upon
the losses, humiliations and delays we
have suffered, yet it is the most alarm
rog orate times, and can only be
arrested by decided military successes.
the law of the very existence of
such political organizations, to seek
strength by assaults upon the admin
istration, in whose hands; for weal or
woe, is the direction of those move
ments upon which necessarily depend
the preservation of the Union.
These assaults will grow in vigor
and bitterness as they pro,less, and
--while thus indirectly affording " aid
comfort" to the rebellion, will
make continual, albeit unconscious, ap
proaches towards an open affiliation
with it. Let those who are called up
xin to vote a party ticket in the midst
of the tragic events now upon us, pon
der well, before doing so, the disastrous
consequences of such a policy—a poli
cy from:whose baleful tendencies no
purity of motive can possibly detract.
'-Lot them hesitate long before they sow
the seeds of dissensions, whose bitter
fruits may be upon the lips of their
children's children. Let them not for.
get that by thus presenting a divided
front they degrade our cause before
the world, 'they paralyze our own
'Strength and add immeasurably to the
hopes, the confidence and the power of
the enemy. Already the Confederate
press is pointing the deluded people of
the South to these rising distractions
among ourselves, in a tone,not merely
of hopefulness but of exultation.
Controversies In-Timed
If any Man, as a motive for ea& a
course, suppose, that be has ground of
complaint against the President, let
him -take heed that his ill-directed hos
tility does not put in jeopardy the-Re
public itself, for whose- preservation
from overthrow the President is bites-
Aantly"Und joyally laboring. - What
has a 'controversy with the President
of the United States to do with
. the
question of loyalty to our Country in
the midst of such,a struggle as this?
If hb e'rrs:as the best -of men are lia
ble to do—he hisoon to pass away with
all his deeds, but our Government and
country should, and if we are truo.,to
-them, they will endure for 'countless
• ages to come: the President, with all
the. dignities and responsibilities be
longing to his position, is but a pilot
on the national ship :for a single watch
of the night.
Who will be jo insane as to aid, how
ever-indirectly. in scuttling the ship;
=2
merely because he has a qu'arrel with
the pilot, from whose hands the helm
is so soon to be wrested? \\ - ho is wil
ling that a savage shout. a: of victory,
shall go up from that armyof ferocious
rebels, whose hands ale d.mbly dy e d
in the blood of one peoplc \V ho i.
willing that a thrill of joy :-.11:01 run
throughout the entire South. an I tlutt
bonfires and illuminations shall be I:la
dled in the city of Richmond, over the
triumphs of the Opposition in the great
Empire State? if such there be, let
him vote a party ticket. The occasion
demands the development of the subli
mest phases of human character. If
with the duties to our land and to our
race which are pressing upon us, we
cannot rise above a miserable scramble
for party spoils and, power, then the
sooner we creep into our graves the
better. •
Foreign Intervention Threatened by our
Another danger which is threatened
from the inaction of our armies comes
from abroad. This Rebellion is as
übiquitous in the curses it scatters as
it is folish in its spirit. The conflict,
from our commercial and other rela
tions, concerns the happiness of the
civilized world. Foreign nations, with
a forbearance which cannot be too
much commended, have, without in
terference, waited patiently, and given
us every opportunity to subdue the re
bellion. But, unless some decisive
military demonstration soon takes
place, and the South is occupied by our
forces, these nations will conclude that
we lack either the will or the power to
re-establish the Union.
Fearful Evils of Interference.
Already a member of the English
Cabinet (Mr. Gladstone) has openly
declared that “Davis has made a na
tion of the South," and such an an
nouncement, from such a source, can
not but be accepted as having a star
tling significance. If the vast army in
whose presence, as it were, a half-beat
en enemy is leisurely destroying one of
the most important railroads of the
loyal States does not do its work spee
dily, European Governments must crc
long yield to the clamor of their im
poverished and starving populations.
and there will come intervention, "with
all its woes." , Upon this will follow
at once. intimate entangling alliances
with the South, to be succeeded by
hostilities with us, and, in all human
probability, by the permanent estab
lishment of the Rebel Confederacy.
What fate might befall our own in
stitutions amid the bankruptcy and
demoralization and brokenness of spi
rit consequent on such a dismember
ment, I will not trust myself to inquire.
We cannot hope to escape from this
train of events by any exploits of our
navy, however brilliant, occupying the
Southern coast and the cities upon the
sea-shore. This, though well and very
well, will be but scratching the ex
tremities of the giant instead of dealing
blows at his heart. That heart palpi
tates defiantly in the armies of Lee
and Jackson, which have so recently
ravaged Maryland, and still from the
banks of the Potomac threaten the
capital.
~ For All Things that are for the Union."
My faith in all this matter is simple
and briefly stated. It is this : For
all things that are for the Union—
against all things that are, against it.
I am for the Union as uncondition
ally as I am for protecting my own
body, at every cost and hazard, from
the knife of the assassin. human
institution, no earthly interest, shall
ever by me be weighed in the scales
against the life of my country. Least
of all will I approach with 4i:sandaled
feet, or permit to be thus weighed, an
institution, the feeding fountain of
whose being—the African slave trade
—the laws of my country have for
more than forty years denounced as a
crime worthy of death—a crime not
against any . particular code, or any
particular form of civilization, but a
crime against the very race to•which
we belong. Host is /oimani genesis is
the designation which the Christian
legislation of • the United States has
given to the African slave trader•.,
I yield to no man in veneration for
the Constitution, or in determination
that its blessings shall be extended to
those who respect and obey it. The
door to all these blessings is widely
open to the Southern people, and they
are earnestly invoked by the Presi
dent to enter in and enjoy them.
Interests of the South in its own Hands
These Institutions and their Or cry
interest are in their
. own -hands, and
can be saved not only from ruin, but
from the slightest injury, by the utter
ance of a single word—a word of duty
and honor. But, if in their passion
ate pursuit of separate empire, and in
their blind resentments against breth
ren' who bare never wronged, them,
they refuse to speak that word, and
prefer to perish themselves, rather
than that the loyal States shall escape
destruction—be it so. The world will
judo aright, and history will record
its judgment. But, is it not childish
prattle to say that the South can
claim to be at the same moment the
protege and the destroyer of the Con
stitution ?
Satanic Audacity of the Rebellion.
Does it not'require an yudaelty, ab
solutely satanic to insist that the benef
iceni, provisions of that hallowed in
strument shall be secured to States
and people who are hourly spurning
and•spitting upon its authority,, and
who are leading forward vast armies to
overwhelm it, and with it the homes
and hopes of all who aro rallying in
its defence. War—certainly one like
this, in self-defence—is certainly Con
stitutional; but, if such a war has its
restraints, it has also its rights and
duties; prominent among which, is
the right and duty of weakening the
enemy 'by all possible means, and thus
abridging the sanguinary conflict.—
Neirer until now has it entered into
the,imaginations of men to, conceive
that among , these duties is that,Of see
ing - that the enemy.i.s . 'clOthed, Anil fed
and armed before he is struck.
The Constitution a Charter of National
Life.
In prosecuting the war, while exer
cising our right to weaken the enemy,
we may destroy not only ships' upon
the sea, and fortresses and cities upon
the land, but human life upon .the, bat
tlerfield. But what institution,' `what
material interest . is more hallowed
than humairlife i and what material in
terest is tlAira belonging to the enemy
that wo are obliged to sparo, even
though by -so doing we perb,ll our
selves? The Constittition is a charter
Inaction
of national life, and not of national
death. All movements which seek or
tend to the dissolution of' the Govern
ment created by it,, and of which it is
the soul, are in conflict with its spirit
and with the scope and end of its en
actments, and may be resisted to the
death by its express or implied author
ity. Neither the keenest vision nor
the most delicate ear can detect in
any line or letter of that glorious char
ter the faintest throb of sympathy
with treason or traitors.
Pardon these hurried words, which
arc spoken in recrimination of none,
but in grief:llone. There is abundant
cause for sorrow, but none for despair.
No man more sincerely desires the re
establishment of the Union than does
the President himself. Let it be our
trust that while an October sun is yet
shining, the mind on which all depends,
will devise ways and means to over
come every obstacle to the onward
march and triumph of our armies.
New York has already sent a hund
red and seventy regiments into the
field. The muskets they bare prove
that they are unconditional Union
men. God forbid that the fathers and
brothers and sons whom they have
left behind, should, through a show of
dissension at the ballot•box, do aught
to weaken their hands or to add to the
strength and courage of the traitors
whose swordti are lifted against their
bosoms.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
J. Nora
SOUTHERN NEWS.
Our Operations in North Carolina,
We have late Richmond papers re
ceived via Fortress Monroe. The news
we find in them relates chiefly to the
operations of the Union forces in North
Carolina. .
[From the Richmond Dispatch.]
THE ENEMY IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA
There is no longer any doubt that
the enemy's forces in .);astern North
Carolina are moving on Waldo)), with
a view of tapping the railroad at that
point. Wo published some clays ago
an account of a fight which took place
between three companies of the 26th
North Carolina regiment and the ad
vance guard of the enemy, on Sunday
last. In this engagement the enemy
was repulsed, our loss being ten killed
and twenty-nine wounded.
Later intelligence furnishes us with
sonic fuller particulars of the advance,
from which it appears that the enemy
landed largo forces at Washington on
Sunday, and advanced towards Ham
ilton and took possession of that town.
It is reported that they destroyed
nearly the entire place. Their force
at Hamilton is reported to be 10,000
infantry with forty pieces of artillery,
and a considerable force of cavalry.—
They are also reported to have landed
a large force at Palmyra, Halifax coun
ty, some twenty-five or thirty miles
from Weldon. Gen. Pettigrew com
mands the confederate forces at Wel
don. The Yankees are said to be
commanded by Oen. Poster.
There was a report in circulation on
Saturday that an engagement occur
red in the vicinity of Tarboro', Edge
combo county, on Thursday last, be.
tween some six regiments of North
Carolina State Troops, under the com
mand of Governor Vance and General
Martin, and about 10,000 of the enemy.
The Raleigh Journal, of Saturday, says
that this report was incorrect ; and
that nothing of the kind had taken
place since the - fight of Sunday even
ing.
The impression prevails that the en
emy- is concentrating his forces in the
neighborhood of Williamston, Martin
county, with the intention of attack
ing some point on the line of the Wil
mington and Weldon railroad.
A dispatch from Goldsboro', dated
10 o'clock Friday night, states that
there had been no fighting, and that
the enemy had retreated in the direc
tion of Weldon. We do not exactly
understand how they could have re
treated towards Weldon, sh:ce that is
the point towards which they were
supposed to be advancincr.
. Aletter in the Petersburg Express,
from Tarboro,' dated the sth, says the
Yankee army is marching upon that
town with 12,000 troops. The infor
mation is derived from a Yankee de
serter. They are represented to bo
within 15 miles of the town, and with
in 4 miles of the confederate troops.
[Prom the Petersburg Express.]
FROM NORTII CAROLINA.
We have conflicting rumors from
Eastern North Carolina. One report
says that our forces were forced to a
bandon a strong fortification several
miles below Tarboro' on Thursday, af
ter a heavy bombardment of several
hours from the enemy's guns. It is
also reported that the Yankees brought
seventy field-pieces into the action.—
Whether the first of these reports has
any foundation in fact, or not, we arc
unable to say, but we may say, in. re
gard to the latter, that we do not be
lieve the enemy brought the half of
seventy 'guns to bear on our forces.—
Another rumor is that the enemy arc
rapidly retiring to Washington where
they will be under the protection of
their gunboats.. -These rumors were
current on our streets yesterday, and
we give them only as rumors, and for
what they aro worth. If they have
been officially confirmed we have yet
to ascertain' the fact.
[The Goldsboro Tribune of Thursday
last, says
We have information that the cue
my are in -possession of Williamston
and Hamilton, in Martin county-, and
that a large force is gradually march
ing upon Tarboro'. Our small force
engaged them at Williamston, on the
night of the 2d inst., but the overwhel
ming numbers of the enemy forced
our. men to fall back. Our loss, we
understand, is.l2 killed and wounded,
and that of the enemy over 100. - Much
damage was done by shelling- to,, the
buildlogs in Williamston and Hamil
ton. 'We learn that ears have bee»
ordered to Tarboro' to move Govern
ment stores.
We also learn that the programme
.of the enemy, was to make demonstra
tions up thoßoanoke river and.Tarbo
ro' to draw act ourforees,frem Kinston,
and tlfeW march up on the south side
of the Neuse river from Newborn and
take Kinston "without firing a gun."
Our authorities, however, got informa
tion to that effect, and on Tuesday
night the available forces around Kin
ston received marching orders to ' go
as near Newborn as they could get.—
Consequently, we may expect stirring
news in a short time from that direc
tion.
Bo all this as it may, we are still of
the belief that Weldon is the point the
enemy wishes to reach.
YANKEES IN HIGHLAND
The. statement that a considerable
Yankee force is in Highland county,
about forty miles from Staunton,
pros-es to be correct. These troops
are under the command of General
Cog, and have been heretofore opera
ting in the Valley of the Kanawha.
SERMON ON EDUCATION.
To the Reverend Clergy of the State
GENTLEMEN : The Educational State
Convention, which was in session in
Harrisburg last August, unanimously
adopted a resolution, " That ministers
of the Gospel throughout the state be
requested to preach, on the first Sun
day in December, 1862, a sermon on
popular education."
As the Convention adopted no means
to make its wishes on the subject
known to you, other than the publica
tion of the minutes of its proceedings,
I have taken the liberty, in this man
ner, to invite your attention to it.
At all times the due training of the
young is of great importance, and the
relation to it of the Christian ministry
is plain and intimate. In the present
unhappy juncture of our national af-
Nl's—regarding the future through
the uncertain light of the present—
this importance is vastly increased,
and the relation of your body to it
seems to become in the same propor
tion nearer.
The wishes of the Convention are
therefore cordially commended ie Your
favorable consideration, with the liopf. ,
that you will simultaneously add your
prayers to the Father of Light that
He will at this time especially bless
the cause of general education, and so
guide the efforts of all entrusted with
its care, that the youth of the land
mar-become Christian citizens of a
once more united and prosperous Re
public. Very respectfully,
