GovernorStaxley, tlic Military Gov ernor of North Carolina lias, in the dis charge of his new duties. igsncJ an order closing certain negro school?, which cer tain people of the North had recently established. On the rumor of this act reacting Washington, Mr. Sumner, the automatic agent of all anti-slavery spasm, moved a resolution calling on the Secre tary at "War for copies of the commis sions and instructions given to the mili tary governors of States. These com missions and instructions have been fur nished (see lelow) and they are precisely t ueh as the case require J and in strict eonformity -with law.' The commission Brakes him Governor, and he is to see that the laws of North Carolina are duly executed. lie must take these laws as he finds them, and he has no power of repeal, of suspension nor of modification. If there is a law of Js orth Carolina which forbids the opening and carrying on of negro schools he must enforce it, for it is a police regulation which the State had a right to make, though people in other States may think the law very harsh and unjust. :- It is stated by a correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, that Dr. Tyng of New York, and Stephen Caldwell of Philadel phia, representing something called the Frecdman's association, a new coined phrase for fugitive slaves, had called on Secretary Stanton, to inquire into the authority under which Governor Stanley had issued his order closing the colored schools. The statement of the corres pondent goe3 on to say, that the Secreta ry showed them the instructions and that j they did not contain a word directing the Governor to execute the local laws of North, Carolina, and that they did not authorize him to issue the order in ques tion, and that he, morever, showed thera A letter which be had just written with the sanction of the President directing the Governor to revoke the orchr and al low the schools to go on. The correspondent of the Tribune, has probably been misinformed as to what took place. Mr. Secretary Stanton has been prominent as a lawyer, and once filled the place of Attorney General of the United States, and it is not likely that he would say that the commission did not authorize the Governor to exe cute the local laws of North Carolina, for that is precisely what he was appoint ed to do. - And it is still more unlikely that he would write a letter, threatening him to revoke the order. If Mr. Stan ton has undertaken to give such orders and done it with the concurrence of the President, they have undertaken to do what the law does not authorize, and have usurped powers which do not be long to them, for they cannot repeal State laws, But we have no belief that Mr. Lin coln has concurred in any such thing. Jlis general action is characterized by wisdom and by firmness, and in the new elave trade carried on' by election mana gers he has kept aloof, and avoided ex tremes. We expect to find that the story of the President's having modified Mr. Stanley is a story made to snit the New York Tribune and the News agent of the Cincinnati Gazette. 3Ir. Lincoln is sorely beset by party bigots, of coarse manners and unscrupulous tastes, who demand of him a compliance with their party wUhes. TVc will not affirm that these men have never swayed his judg ment : but we still believe that his acts have been the result of judgment, and not a mere compliance with demand. We sustain Mr. Lincoln in his general course and while he may make mistakes within the bounds of lawful power, we excuse them. If he goes in aught be yond the bounds of lawful power, we " will cavil on the ninth part of a hair." P. S. As we expected the News agent of the Cincinnati Gazette, and all that tind of Washington propagators have been compelled to retract their first state- aieat, that the President had modified Got. Stanley, and they now report that Jte says that it Is not the time to interfere srith the Governor. What becomes of .the alleged threat of Mr. Stanton that he wont stay an hour? WjisHrsoTe.,- Wednesday, June 4, 1662. " Xb instructions given to the Hon. Ed tvard Stanley, Military Governor of Xorth Carolina, arc identically those furnished to the Hon. Andrew Johnson. The following is a copy of the letter of instructions : . - Was Depakthest. Wasuixgtox. D. C, -' .- ... May 2. 1862. f S;a: The commission, you-have received expresses on its face the nature and extent o( the duties and power devolved on you by the appointment of Military. Governor oX.

It is obvious to you th.-.t t!i great purpose of your appoint ment is- to reestablish tl.e authority ot the Federal Government in the State ol North Carolina, and to provhle the means ol main taining peace and security to the loyal inhab itant of that State until they shall bt: able to est&hliih a civil Government. Upon yonr wisdom and energetic action much will depend in accomplishing that re sult. It is not deemed necessary to give any specific instructions, hut rather to confide in your sound discretion to adopt such measures as circumstances may demand. You may rely upon the perfect confidence and full sup port of this Depiu-tuicnt iu the, performance of your duties. With re;pec;, I am your obedient survanl, EDWIN if. STANTON, Sec'y of War. Hon. Edward Stanley,-Military Governor of North Carolina. Revolution. Tueke are persons in this country, not yet a party, but they may become such, who favor the suppression of the States and making The Congress omnipotent. This has been openly advocated in the New York Courier and Enquirer a Re publican paper, the editor of which has been made a Foreign Minister. Mr. Secretary Cameron very coolly proposed to change, by act of Congress, the State lines of Maryland, Delaware and Vir ginia. Mr. Sumner -proposes to declare the Southern States all forfeited, both in sovereignly, jurisdiction and soil ; and to hold them at the disposal of Congress, for organization as Territories. Mr. Lin coln proposes to buy up all the slaves of the United States aud pay for them from the public treasury an act for which no possible authority can be cited. Mem bers of Congress rush in by the score, struggle for supremacy in the distinction of disfranchising rebels and confiscating their property without a trial by the Courts. And it has become quite a com mon thing to propose as law, that no man shall bring a suit unless he first proves that he is loyal, and that trials are to be stopped in their progress, for the hearing of some side it-sue (and that too without a jury,) whether the plaintiff has not committed some offence. The new practice has not received its cogno men yet, but it will probably be . called Sumner-ism, Trumbull-ism, or some oth er itm to denote the chief professors of the progmatical science. County Treasurers and their Traveling Fees. The laws requiring the County Treas urers to pay the annual taxes to the Treasurer of State, allows them tight cents per mile for traveling fees both going to and returning from the scat of Government, according to the distance of the route most usually traveled. The State of Ohio publishes an annual ex hibit showing all the receipts and ex penditures of the State, and among other outarsr the exhibit shows the amount paid to county Treasurers for the travel ing fees. This table contain some crtri ou3 elongations of route. For instance, the County Treasurer of Fayette, for go ing from the county seat (Washington) to Columbus and returning, which towns are about 40 miles asunder, charges for 312 J- miles, twice each year the sura of 25 Dollars. He perhaps nds it pleas anter and cheaper to go by rail to Cin cinnati and thence to Columbus. Some other counties, contiguous to each other and not greatly differing in dis tance exhibit at differences in distance - charged, perhaps from pursuin gsome route not obvious to printers " who stay at home at ease." These are specimens: Miles Charge Champaign county, Clark Hard In " Logan " Shelby " Lucas " Wood " 117,' 9.40 87L' . 7,00 175 14.00 200 16,00 104 13.12 400 JS.00 300 28,50 The Dignity of Labor. This is a fine thing to talk about but you fellows that have to work any how at real work to get money to buy food, and to pay jour little rent, you have noth ing to do with the dignity of labor. It is a thing that belongs to men of higher views who want to get a living by their tongues, to men who wish to be boss in some other man's 6hop, or to get an of fice that has the name of good pay at tached to it. He has no notion of work ing any himself, but if he can show great interest in the people's welfare, and par ticularly "the toiling millions," as the orators say about election time, be will expect to receive great credit for his great sympathies : if he is not a candi date himself, but only works for the party, he can afterwards present his claim for outlay and sufferings. If he has been an editor and wrote a life of the head candidate, he can claim a good place at Washington. If he has gone to the Chicago Convention, and was the " original Lincoln man" the very first to think of him he can ask to be Mar shal of a State. If he faib in that he can claim something lower and lower he will get it. There is nothing like the dignity of labor to talk about. Hon. Wm. Lawrence, of Logan coun ty, has been appointed Lieutenant Col onel of one of the new Regiments of three months volunteers from Ohio. This will be a new service to Judge Lawrence, but the zeal and energy he brings to every thing he undertake will soon make him master of the " bookish theorick" and when he shall be in camp long enough he will show himself mindful of hi men, which too "many officers forget. Subscribe for the Urbana Union; oae djllar a ''ear M arlv.irjce. Assistant Secretary at War. CmusTornEU P. Wolcott, Esq., late Attorsey General of Ohio, has been ap pointed Assistant Seeretavy at War. He is sn able lawyer, of a cool collected manner and possesses fiue administra tive capacity. Being a brother-in-law of Mr. Stanton, this relationship will add to the efficiency of their co-operation in their very arduous duties. Mr. Wolcott has been of the very strictest State rights school, as may be seen in his argument in the rescue cases, made before the Su preme Court of Ohio, by direction of Mr. Chase. But that was before the Rebellion which is the logical result of his old doctrines ; and we have no doubt that he will now reverse his own former judgment for manifest error therein. Mr. Wolcott will make a most diligent and faithful officer. The True View. ' Is hiseloquent and statesmanlike speech on confiscation, delivered in the House of Representatives on the 10th of April, the Hon. Bexj. F. Thomas, (Rep.) of Mas sachusetts, pointed out the path of pub lic duty and expediency in the matter under consideration. He said : " In seeking to know what this Gov ernment ought to do in relation to the confiscation of private property, of the emancipation of slaves in the Seceding States, the obvious question presenting itself to every mind at the threshold is, what is the end which the Government and the people are seeking to attain? There can be but oue loyal answer to that question. It is, to preserve the Union and the Constitution in their in tegrity, to vindicate in every part of this iudivisible Republic its supreme law. No purpose, however humane, benefic ent, or attractive, can divert our steps from the plain, straight path of sworn duty. What is writ is writ In seeking to change it by force of arms we become the rebels we are striving to subdue. It is a plain proposition that is seeking to enforce the law we are, so far as possible, to obey the law. We are not to destroy iu seeking to preserve. The people do not desire a bitter and remorseless strug gle over the dead body of the Constitu tion. We may raise armies and navies and pour out as water the treasure and life-blood of the people, but we can neither think nor act wisely, live well or die well for the Republic, unlcs we keep clearly and always in view the end of all our labors and sacrifices the Union of our fathers and the Constitution, which is its only bond. No thoughtful man can believe that there is a possibility of re constructing the Union on any other basis, or that it is within the province of Congress in any other but the peaceful way of amendment to make the effort." Rational Intelligencer. From Before Richmond. To-DAT's (Tuesday) new3 state that there are not as yet any signs of evacu ation at Richmond. Contrabands report that the rebels have received no further reinforcements. A despatch from the headquarters of Gen. McClellan, dated Saturday, says " two deserters who- came in report that the rebel General Joe. Johnson was seri ously if not mortally wounded during the battle of Fair Oaks, aud that Gener al Gustavns W. Smith is now in com mand. This statement is corroborated from other sources They further declare that the rebel loss is estimated at 10,000 in killed, wounded and missing. No material change had taken place in the position of the enemy. A contraband who left llichmond on Thursday has come into our lines. He represents that no troops are in the city, except those doing guard duty and taking care of the sick and wounded. The rebel army was encamped outside. There were no signs of evacuation,- but everything indicated a determined resistance by the enemy. During the fight of Sundiy'the liveliest interest was exhibited in its progress by the people of Eichmond, and when they saw their troops defeated the greatest consternation prevailed. Many of the inhabitants have crossed the James river in anticipation of the capture of the city. It is rumored that General Magruder will shortly resign. The opinion obtains that there are no troops between the Rappahannock and General McClellan's army." Gifted at Bagging Rebels. Of all our officers, General Pope has mani fested the greatest talent as a prcsdigitatuer in bagging rebels. He will now, since the Corinthian exploit, receive, more than ever, the admiration and applause of the nation. HU present achievement is but the last of four great triumphs of the same kind His favorite work seem to be tli3 "bagging"' of great bodies of rebels. He it was, as already men tioned and as the public will remember, who turned the tide of rebellion in Missouri by " bagging" three or four thousand o Price's men early last winter, ne it was who, took New Madrid, and the rebel force there. He it was who, by his scientific genius and by gigantic labors, reduced Island Number Ten, and captured tix thousand rebels, half a dozen j Generals, and untold munitions of, war. His ; last achievement is his most glorious; and foots up the entire number of rebel soldiers he has captured to nearly twenty Jive thousand. And all, too, with not the loss of a hundred lives on our side. For 6uch a man, no honors can be too greats no applause too hearty. O. jS. Journal A Good Recruitlng Sergeant.

Ten thousand Enfields have been re ceived by the Ohio Quartermaster. They will be immediately distributed to Ohio troops. The national debt on the 29th of May (soMr. Chase report) amounted to 8-101,-448:98-l. The average rate of interest paid is about 4. Col. Keuley, of the First Maryland, who fought so bravely at Front Royal, is in Washington, and will enter the field again as soon as he is exchanged. A destructive fire occurred in Quebec last Saturday. 120 houses, mostly wood en buildings, occupied by mechanics, were destroyed. All the candidates on the uncondition al Union ticket were elected at the muni cipal election in Washington city, 2nd inst. Wallaek, editor of the Star, had a large majority for Mayor. It is affirmed by reliable men that the rebels have an army of 200,000 in Rich mond. They will make a desperate fight in defence of the city. This cannot be doubted. The loss of the rebels at Memphis was ibout 100 in killed and wounded. The only casualty on our side was a slight wound received by Col Ellet, command ing the ram fleet. It is estimated that there have been twenty thousand deserters from Beauri gard's army since the evacuation of Co rinth, mostly from Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas regiments. All want to take the oath. The London News defends Gen. But ler's course at New Orleans ; other Eng lish papers denounce it. We suppose it makes very little difference to Benjamin he has been found able, heretofore, to take care of himself. The New York Tribune has a wild story from Tcxa, asserting that Old Sam Houston is at the head of a Union army there, and that the State will soon bo restored to the Union. Wc haven't so good an opinion of Sam, and so much confidence in Tribune reports. The lalc-it news from Memphis is that all is quiet, Citizens to the number of 2000,- reported themselves armed and equipped at the Provost Marshal's office to protect the city from mobs, if needed. The Meniphians, it seem?, rejoice, gener ally, over the re-tomtiou of the old fhig. The steamer Massachusetts went up the James River last week, having on board the privatccrsmen to be exchanged for Colonel Corcoran and others, but re turned unsuccessful. The rebels it seems arc bound to hold the brave Corcoran as long a time as possible. Had the Chickahominy bceu fonlable on Sunday (of the battle of Fair Oaks) McClellan would have pushed right on to Richmond. As it was nothing could be gotten over the flood had taken bridges and all away, and immediate pro suit of the enemy by the whole army was impossible. A detachment of Fremont's cavalry was ambushed by the enemy near Har risonburg, last Friday, and a number killed and taken prisoners. Reinforce ments arrived to the cavalry's support and drove the rebels from their position capturing their camp and some stores, Federal loss was about 100 in all. FROM WASHINGTON.

There were 50 majority for Nixon's resolu tions, instructing Geucrals to subsist armies on the enemy. Mr. Wickhffe offered a resolution calling for information touching Hunter's negro regi ments. He wants the facts, and thinks this thing worth knowing. Right Ed. Umos. All tho damage done to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad by Jackson's forces has been repaired, except the Great Potomac Bridge. Through mail and passenger trains will be resumed immediately. DisPATCitKr from Commodore Dupont state that our gunboats have possession of Stono, near Charleston. The capture was made from information from Robert Small, who ran out the tug Planter. Chattaxooga the most important strategic position in East Tennessee, is probably now in our possession. General Mitchell, in dis patches from Huntsville, Ala., dated on Friday, announces that an expedition com manded by General Negley had driven the enemy, undet the command of General Adams, from Winchester, through Ja-per, back to Chattanooga, aud utterly defeated aud routed them at that point. Their baggage wagons, ammunition, and supplies were captured. Still more important result? wre expected to follow this movement. The Fight at and Surrender of Memphis. The following are the full particulars of the gunboat fig! it at Memphis and the possession of the city by our forces : The flotilla consisting ol five gunboats and eight rams, left Fort Wright at 2 o'clock on Thursday morning, and finding no obstructions at Fort Randolph, passed on, and at 8 o'clock on Thursday evening the gunboats anchored two miles above Memphis. The rams re mained a short distance above. A reconnoissance was made and the ene my's fleet, consisting of the following Gen. Van Dorn, flag ship ; Gen. Price, Gen. Bragg. Gen. Lovell, Jeff. Thompson, Beauregard, Sumter and Little Rebel, were discovered ly ing near Memphis. During the night the rebel fleet moved down the river, and at daylight were out of sight, but in half an hour afterwards were seen coming up, formed in line of battle. Our gunboats had in the meantime weighed anchor, and, followed by several rams, mov ed slowly toward the rebel fleet when a shot from the Little Rebel from a rifled gun of long range fell within a short distance of the gun boat Cairo, which was in advance. The Cairo replied with a broadside, and soon the engagement became general at long range. The rams in the meantime advanced, and the rebel ram Beauregard, being some distance in advance, was singled out. by the Federal rams Monarch and Queen of the West, each striving to be first to strike the rebel craft. The Monarch succeeded in striking her amidships, almost cutting her in two, and causing her to fill and sink immediately iu the channel, directly opposite the city. At this juncture the Little Rebel made a dash at the Monarch, which by this time was in the midst of the rebel fleet, but by a skillful movement of the latter, she dropped out of the way. and the blew intented for her strode th rebel boat Gen. Price, taking away her wheel, making it necessary lor her to run ashore, when she sent a shot, which unfortunately for the rebels, struck the boat Gen. Lovell, rendering her un manageable. Immediately after, she was run down by the Queen of the West. A broad side from the Benton took effect on the sides ol the Jeff. Thompson, when she ran ashore in flames and burned, to the water's edge. Four rebel boats having been disabled, the re mainder of their fleet retreated down the riv er, pursued by our boats firing as they ad vanced, resulting in the capture of the Sumter, Bragg and Little Rebel, which had been abait doued by most of their crews. - Cnp. Montgomery, the flag officer and most of the officers and men succeeded in making their escape to tho woods on the Arkansas shore. The Federal ram Lancaster was struck by the Beauregard early in the engagement and was slightly disabled. Col. 'Elliot, com manding the Federal rams, was struck iu the breast by a fplintcr and was stunned tempo rarily, but soon recovered and continued on deck throughout the action. This was the only casualty on our side our rams were manned by sharpshooters, mostly from Minor, who did good execu'i.m, picking off the ene my's gunners at every opportunity. Therebel loss in killed, wounded and prisoners is heavy, but not yet fully ascertained. Our tugs were busily engaged picking up the erews of their disabled boats. After the return of the gunboats from the pursuit, Corn. Davis sent the following note to the Mayor ol the city of Memphis: V. S. Fl.Af! f? TEA Itnit B::XTON', f Off Memphis, June G, 1302. (. Sin: I have respectfully to request that you will surrender the city of Memphis to the authority of the United Slates, which I Lave the honor to represent. I am Mr. Mayor, withiigii respect, Your obd't servant, C. H. DAVIS, Flag Officer. In reply the Mayor said: "Your note is received. In reply I have only to say, as the civil authorities have no means of defense, by force of circumstances the city is in your hands." Immediately afler a boat's crew landed, ai.d the National flag hoisted over the Post-ofliec. The party was followed by an excited crowd, but they were not interfered with. The 43d and 46ih Indiana regiments now occupy the place, Col. Fitch in command. The city is quiet. No demonstrations what ever have been made. It is even asserted that it will not be necessary to declare marl :a' law. Five of our gunboats now lie abreast of the city. We captured five large steamers, which were moored at the levee. The rebels burr ed a new gunboat, which was nearly ready to be launched. The cvacuaiiun of Corinth culminated in a disorderly rout. Gen. Pope has already car tuted ten thousand rebel roldiers and lilteen thousand stand of aims. Beauregard is re ported to have become frantic on hearing of the sucessful expedition of Col. Elliott who, it will be remembered, burned railroad bridg es most essential to the rebel retreat and to have tol i his men that each one must now look out for himself. This his army appears to be doing, whether their commander direct ed it or not. Gen. Slitchell has also captured five thousand rebel prisoners. The General has lately been making vigorous demons! ra tious against the guerrillas, and having cap tured several of these gentry, asked Secretary Stanton's permission to hang them. The Secretary's response was " bang them up." The western army is doing its work nobly. The great needed work yet to be done is to free East Tennessee. On with the ball 1 Prizes and Prize Money. Washington, June 6. It appears that about 170 prizes have been taken by our cruisers, In conscqueuce of the delay of Government officers iu condemning the rebel vessels aud cargoes captured, it is impossible to state the value of the prize", hence no estimate can be made of the enormous amount of prize money to be distibuted among the sailors in the naval service. Some idea, however, may be formed of the total by single case of the Cir cassian, which arrived at New York a few days ago. Rebel Loss in the Battle near Richmond 8,000. New York. June 9 The Richmond Dis patch of the oth states that the rebel loss in the late battle was eight thousand, including live Generals, twenty-three Colonels, ten Majors, and fifty-seven Captains. The Dispatch complains that the Federals can at any time cut. oft the retreat ol the Coniederates by seizing the railroads at Pe tersburg, aud intimates that the retreat to Lyncnbur and the mountains was the only one left lllCUi. The Bayonet Charge at Richmond. Tns New York Times' Correspondent tuya: The New Jersey troops fought splendidly, loading and firing without flinchrig from tlieir position. General Sickles' regiments did great execution, advancing at every Are upon. the rebels masked by the wood. How ever it was plainly to be seen the enemy had every advantage I and it was resolved to clear the woods at the point of the bayonet. General Sickles rode along tho front of his men, iu the midst of au iron hail which the rebels poured in, and gave orders for the Second Regiment, Colonel G.. B.. Hall, to charge bayonets. No sooner was the order given than the men fixed bayonst.. Colonel Hall gallantly led the charge I one of the most brilliant ever made in any battle. Not a man shirked or straggled from the ranks. The rebels presented a strong front to the gleaming bayonets of our men, not a hundred yards distant. As the Second advanced on the double quick, cheering and shouting, the rebels held back their fire until our men were hardly one hundred feet from their line, when they fired a murderous vollev into the ranks of the Sec ond. It proved too low, and few were killed or wounded. - Immediately after the rebels fired this volley, they broke ranks and fled through the wood. A few of their bravest remained to resist our passage, but they were soon mowed down by tho steel front of the gallant Second Excelsi or. Major Herbert, of the Eighth Alabama Regiment, was taken pruoner at this time His hor had been shot under him, and as he fell le received a shot in his side. He sprang) his feet, however, almost instantly, and seeing several of our men in front of him, mistook them for some of his own regiment. " " Rally once more, boys!" he cried, but they corrected his mistake by presenting their bayonets and demanding him to surren der, which he did wiih all the grace and finish that an original SeC"isioiiixt. as he after wards informed me he was, could do under the circumstances. The rebels made two or three attempts to flank us on the left, after retreating from their centre, but they were beat back with great loss, our troops pursu ng them for nearly two mile.

It is said that English speculators in arms, have shipped about 2K.C00 Enfield rifles to I Nassau, w here they dispose of them to rebel agents, who reship ihem with the expecta tion of running the blockade.

The paper does not rely upoD pro fessions but uKn practice, and ils course will be best known by a reference to its future columns. Such a reference will show that it will not be the mere repeater of telegrams from Washington, tinged by a special agent to suit a purpose; nor will it be Ibund seek ing to maintain itself by perquisites drawn from the County Treasury.
