The Yankee estimate of Mr. Holden U baed oa hh own observation and study of Mr. IIoMc's writings. Iviw.ird Everett, the bilken persuader to mom b'od, spoke of Mr. Uolden as the ' in dependent press unllmbering its artillery at a li.ileijh," becau33 he had read the unpatriotic and seditious invectives of the Standard aqainst mr Government, and its traitorous threat ..l" subverting it, by "withdrawing the corner-stone and tumbling down the arch." The N pa' York Tribune and Times, and the H st n Traveller, encouraged an advance into North Carolina, bcoauovj they derived tii" conviction from the Standard, that dissat isfa:ti ri and dial-intent wnr-i ripe, and thit tatk acti )N would do tho w -rk they de sired. The military misarn ii i rmetings at Washintrton, spoke of thoir " conservative friotids in the ceutril part of the State," a "allies." because they saw tho 6oidences of it in the Standard, which went more regular ly to two men there, than it iuw ges to its rightful exchanges. Joy, the Yankel, at Newborn, iu his " Ttrn.i, "dmo.;i;s (i v. Vi'icrw a rebel and villainous character, because he had rea l Itis Wilkesboro' speech ; and he praises and commends Mr. Uolden as the " friend of the pvdple, suppressed by Jef)'.

When this bold trai tor of the Andrew Johnson, Brownlow school, wished to send ids snivelling petition to Abra ham Lincoln to some sympathizing friend in North Carolina, he published it in a Knox ville sheet, and requested it to be sent to " IT. JT. Ifalhn" and wrote on the margin " from John Bixter." When King, the deserter, perished, he did not say he lost his life by what others taught him of Mr. ilolden, but by "reading the Stand ard." When the murderous bully, Owens, wound"! and huuted, was caught the other day, his sole remnant of reading matter was tho Raleigh Stand ird perhaps the " whole sheet ' of the false date, 6th ot April with his 4 h of July oration, 1856. with its seces sion rjari left out ; and the attack by " Con servative' on Gov. Vance, and the message of J. B., Governor, about which M.t Ilolden lias tussled aud been tussled all over the plat form, and all around tho platfjrm, until he is now quite under th? platform, and well nigh squeezed to utter and entire depression by it, as though a whole mob were after him, aud no reviving blockade imported brandy stimulant iu the distance of the world's cir cumference within his reach. It won't do, father lleartt; all the friendly grasp of hand will not shield Mr. Holden from the effect of his own teaching. Ho has inspired distrust here, and confidence with our enemies, and he now keeps it up by holding aloof from the publication of our spring victorious campaign, which would cheer and encourage the people ; servi ng up to them iusteai thereof, his petty political self, and attacks oa the Governor of the State, whom he is now seeking to lessen in the popular confidence; and favor. Sometime siuce, Mr. Holden had it in his power very easily, and much to his credit, to have silenced the Yankee faith in him, and to have removed the popular distrust here. He could have done this by a calm, decided and sin cere support of our cause, which no one could have misunderstood or misrepresented. We advised him to chis, iu a well-meant, kindly spirit, lie has left to him yet one other means of re-establishing himself aright. Let him go to the army go in among the sol diers and bayonets "right m and stay in for one fight only one. It is a small exac tion from one who promised the " last dollar and the last man." If he will do this, public sentiment will moderate and change the change to him will be distinct on both sides, ne will hear no more of praise from Joy, he may be sure. Ashort term among "thegoN VOL. 1. Hicrs and the bayonets," will do more to " re vive" his dropping prospects, than the block ade brandy ever would do towards bringing up from pallor and degression " any one who was feeling very badly. " Conservative Meeting at Carr. " That was a grand affair. 44 Committee on I resolutions Wyatt J. Holleman, Jeff. Good- in, Leonard Ilwiise, John R. Whitehead and Wiley May oard," with " W. 11. Richardson, Ei-q.," sis chief spokesman ; who of course, as he is an aspirant fur Legislative honors made that f.ct known, we presume. The committee resoived. lfc, ib they had a right to assemble together and consult, &c. ; )2dlv. that this State has sent more'n her sheer to the wars, and now she s called on to give up her old men aud seventeen year old boys; aud that " it is plain to every reason able man, ' Wyatt wrote that, . u that this is wrong policy; for we see and know that hundreds, yea, thousands f Wyatt, again, of women and children are now suf fering for no other cause than that their hus bands and sons have been taken off to the warf how would it have been if they hand't been taken oil and the Yankees had gotten possession of Cary ? Wouldn't there have been somebody else suffering besides women and children ? Thirdly, that none but a " Conservative of the straitest sect" will do for them, meaning Mr. Ilolden ; and therefore, fourthly, that they will support no man who is afraid to trust the people to speak for themselves, or who is running on b th sidjs, and that they do not regard tha preseut incumbsnt of the t ffice of Governor as stiudiug on the same platform he did at the last election. This is all -Wyatt's we know tho ear-marks. But the balance looks mightily like Mr. Ilolden had a hand in them they are " iden tical with his views, heretofore expressed in the Standird" and which we must defr to a second chapter, on the " Conservative meet ing at Cary." But the unkindest cut of all was, that al though " W. R Richardson, Esq.," " co owner," &c, expended his eloqneuco upon the mooting, and whereas it was well known that he went there a-pirposc to let the peo ple know he wanted t-j go to the Legislater, they turned to and nominated .' four some body elses " Well may " W.

We havtf very little additional information of the operations iu Eistern North Carolina. Itis said that Washington was evacuated on the 1st inst. the enemy removing their eu tire force and all their artillery, to NeWbern Gen. Hoke was in the vieinit, preparing to give them a. second edition of Plymouth ma noeuvering and crushing out but the Yan kees would not stand fire, but "put" for New bern, to joiu their forces there. Some of our pickets were captured about the time of the evacuatiou of Washington, belonging to Col. Wfcitford's regiment. Wc have no advices as to the movements upon Newbern, if any are designed. Gen. Hoke and others in command, who, as well as embrave soldiers, will let every body, and especially the Yankees, know in due time. The War Jfews. The almost uuparalleled achievements by Gens. Kirby Smith and Sterling Price, an nounced in our Telegraphic column of yester day, sent a thrill of joy through every loyal heart that read the accounts. At last ac counts Banks was stealing down the river I trying to elude Smith, aud Steele was running for the banks of Red river, not willing to in vest anything further in that direction at any price. We shall soon have full accounts of these brilliant victories, which every body is anxious to see. It is affirmed on reliable authority that the enemy have almost evacuated the upper part of Eist Tennessee sending off their forces, it is believed, to strengthen Tuotnasat Chatta nooga. From the movements of Grant it is more than probable that before the present week ends the Rapidan will be the scene of active hostilities. The Telegraph announced a few days since, the afflicting dispensation of Providence . which removed from this world a beautiful child of PresiJent Davis. It has created a void never to be filled, but the d?ep sympa thy of a whole country with the afflicted family may in some measure mitigate their grief. We learn from the Hjchmond papers that the funeral of little Joseph" Davis on Sunday last, from St. Paul's Church, was at tended by one of the largest gatherings of the citizens of Richmond that any of the events of the tost three years have called together. It was a tender and silent expression of the sympathy and regard of a large com munity for the President and his fami.y. The whole country will join in condoling with tha distressed family. ..I We are requested to state that Go?.

J The Progress seems determined to iho; it 2viitical machine, aud to sqHabbU over little trfy intrigues, while all ', the country re joicing over the spleudid triumphs to our arms now occurring all over, the land. What a pity it is it will not take tire advice of one of its army correspondents, who speaks to it in this wise : Se veral have askpd me to say something po litical in my letters io you. Once for alt, I beg to say that lam not politically inclined.' I am sick of political talk and political troubles, and would to God that we could have no more of politics tnsrvarlvev or "Destructive" anyhow till our independence ift established oa its true and proper baais. Governor Vance has made a Governor who, in the stf-cessfn! discharge of official duties m u great cwsis, is without a peer, in this or any other age "of America's history. Therefore, I am a Vance man, aud henceforth his siieut sympathizer and supporter. Van. But among other vagaries that haunt its imagination, are two concerning our designs upon it. First, that we are seeking to bring dawn mob law upon it; and secondly, that we have endeavored to procure its "arrest." We would not have either done for the world The first is entirely in the Progress' line of doing things. It his invoked mob law upon "a free press," and had it executed too, by a mob in Raleigh. We have no desire to imi tate it in any particular ; much less in this. Aud as for the "arrest" of its burly editor, it would be to furnish a "martyr" to Mr. Hol den's can tie ready-made to his hand, which of all things it desires the most, and the least we are disposed t accommodate it in. But the Progress mistakes its own ani&xis. It thinks itself a Lion, in the way of some body ; wtiertus every body else identifies it by its ear;-- and its Orayihars, Where is Banks ? The reports from the Trans-Mississippi and the confessions of the Northern press thereon, seem to leave no doubt of a great victory by Kirby Smith over Banks, the ancient commis sary of the immortal "Stonewall" in the Shenandoah valley. The New York Tribune sums up the late Trans-Mississippi battles as follows: From the Tribune, April 25. J THE BATTLES IN LOUISIANA. It appears from the fuller accounts now re ceived of the recent battles iu Louisiana, that Gen. Banks' forces left N-ichitoches on the 6th instant ; that on the 7th his advance was skirmishing with the enemy ; that on the 8th a severe battle was fogght at Sabine Cress Roads between a small portion of Gen. Banks' army and the whole of tbe rebel army under Kirby Smith, resulting in a defeat and heavy loss to the Union forces ; that during the night of the 8th Gen. Bauks fell back to Pleasant Hill, at which place he was again attacked on the Uth, and the remainder of his army having come up, the attack of the rebels was repul sed; but that General Bauks the next morn ing resumed his retreat, and returned with his army to Nachitoches, and to Grand Ecore, on the Red river, and there, at the last advices, remained, beffcg in communication with the fleet of Admiral Porter." Gen. Bauks, during the week following the 7th instant, advanced 43 miles, fought two battles, lost about 3,50l7 men, 20 guns, two of which were afterwards retaken, aud 00 wagons, and returned to the point whence he started. The narrative foots up a week's work of dis aster to the invader and glory to our arms. The recital is vivid. 'The cavalry fled, the infantry were outnumbered, flanged, beaten and attempted to retreat, twenty guns were captured and three hundred wagons." The yankee account continues : . So that, upon the whole, Gen. Banks, on the ruoruing of the 10th of April, found his army iu that condition in wich it seemed to him advisable to decline further contest with the rebel force under Gen. Kirby Smith, and to retreat. He fell back from peasant Hill to Grand Ecore, a distance of thinr-five miles. The enemy had been so severely repulsed on the eveniug of the 9th that they seemed to have been unable or possibly, for another reason, unwilling to pursue the retiring forces of Gen. Banks; and the march to Grand Ecore was accomplished without molestation. Itis reported that Gen. Steele, who when last heard from was at Camden, Arkansas, and whose force was meant to have effected a junc tion with the force of Gen. Banks at Shreve port, Louisiana, was within sixty miles of the latter place. The misfortune of Gen. 'Banks' retreat is that it leaves the enemy at liberty to turn all his forces against the advance of Gen. Steele The safety of the latter is perhaps compromised, and if he is attacked and beaten, his defeat will add one more to the many ex amples of the impolicy of seeking to unite in the face of the enemy two columns marching from different points by converging lines. Since the above was received, we have later accounts from the 'Trans-Mississippi that Banks has had another thrashing, and old "Daddy Price" has given Steele a tremendous whaling. Verily, the victories crowd upon one another, betokening, as we fully believe, under God, thorough ruin anf overthrow to all the yankee armies.
