It has heen stated that the con script law had not been enforced in Mississippi. We find in the Richmond Enquirer a correspon dence between the lion. Thos. D. McDowell, mem ber of Congress from North Carolina, and the Hon. K. Barksdale, member of Congress from Missis sippi, in regard to the matter. Mr McDowell asks Mr IJarksdah if it is true that the law has not been enforced in Mississippi. Mr Barksdale replies that tip to a certain date no steps had been taken to en force the law because the order to enrol had not reached the officer charged with that duty it mis carried hut as eoon as the order was received, the enrollment was proceeded with strictly, and the Legislature of Mississippi passed a law to bring into military service those who wero exempted by the Confederate law, thus showing that Mississippi lias done her duty in placing all her available men in tho service.

In a recent article Sentiment at the: North.---When we read we stated that we condemned the course of the j the accounts from the- North of the dissatisfaction Raleigh Standard "because we knew that it was j there with the war, and the denunciations of La . r u c"u Thfl Stand- coin's conduct and his administration, it seems im- miiirinua in me usucv ui mo iuutu. - ard, in reply to that article, and in a better ,p,m Uoo TaTiifoctal nward n for many a aay, than it nas mamrestea towarus us iur u"uj j asks u. how did we know this, and by what mod. -o; wt,t facta PnaKlpd as to arrive at ui .cuu.u v. such knowledge? . We will endeavor to answer the Standard, with the hope and sincere desire that we may succeed in convincing that paper of the error of its ways and the certain tendency xf its course against the cause of toe Confederate States. In the first place, we know that its course is in i jurious to me cause oi iu oouiu ucv. 1 f tf .Unnn.utinn. nf Recessionists ! .i r i kAiiqiisa rna .i i and its fault-finding and complaining articles against j the Confederate authorities. The Yankee papers at Ncwbern and Washington, N. C the Balti more American and other Lincoln papers, quote the Standard to prove that there is a strong Union sentiment still prevailing iu this State. A few o uia isianuuru, uu uieic iuuih - . - . -. . i . dard. on mere rumor, accused the Confederate authorities of being deposed to ao a dishonorable act, in causing paroled prisoner iu do military duty; and, ou the authority of the Standard, the traitor Stanly, Lincoln's chief officer at Newbern, demanded an explanation of the mat ter from Gen. French. Is it not reasonable to sup pose that such accusations and complaints against our "authorities', coming from one of our own State papers, are calculated to do the South harm. The Standard does an injury to the southern cause by arraying and exciting the feelings of" the people against the Confederate authorities. The Baltimore American, a vile Lincoln paper, particularly al ludes to the Standard's course in this respect, and congratulates the enemies of the South on the feigns of opposition to the Government at Richmond as in dicated by the course of the Raleigh Standard. Our northern enemies specially point to the complaints of the Standard about " breaking up the old govern ment," as evidence that the people of North Caro lina are in favor of- a reconstruction of the Union. Any one can now begin to understand how the course of the Standard has injured and is injuring our cause. And just here we might ask, why is it that no other paper in the State indulges in complaining and fault-finding like the Standard? Is the Stand ard a better friend or guardian of constitutional rights thun all the balance of the press of North Carolina? Certainly not. In the second place, the' Standard's bitterness towards those it calls "original secessionists" has no bounds it assails them for breaking up the old Government, and stigmatizes them as "Destruc tives," thus leading our enemies (and many of our friends) to believe that that paper at least is op posed to the war. Iu this way, again, is its course injurious to the cause of the South. If it is not opposed to the war, why does it denounce oertaiu men for bringing it on? The, Northern people, by their cruel, savage warfare upon us, have convinced all true Southern men that the Union was not dis solved a day too soon, and instead of condemning those who favored dissolution, they should be com mended. We were not an original secessionist all who have read the Western Democrat know this and it has so happened that we havo not voted for an original secessionist since the war commenced but we have been careful not to utter one word against secessionists for fear that the Yankees and tories might misunderstand us and be encouraged to continue their efforts for the subju gation of the South. Suppose original secession ists wero guilty of all the mean things the Standard charges them with, is this a time to be stirring up divisions among our own people? Does it do the cfeuse of the JSouth any good to be eternally abusing secessionists and complaining of their p.st con duct ? On the contrary, we contend it doe harm, not only by encouraging the Lincolnites, but by misleading some of our own people who have limi ted means of information, causing them to form erroneous ideas of the condition of affairs, and making them believe that the secessionists alone are the cause of the war. Wo know that some people, when they read tho Standard, conclude that the Editor is opposed to the war and to the cause wo are contending for. We are not led to this conclusion as yet, because we know the Editor of the Standard, and believe him troo to the South and his native State; but if we did not know him as well as we do, we confess that from the tone of some of his articles, wo should be inclined to form a different conclusion. But, however true he may be, we tell him that his course has done and :s doing harm to the Southern cause, and for his owa sake, if nothing else, he ought to stop and reflect before he continues to de'nounce secessionists and disparage the Confederate authorities. Again : The course of the Standard has been injurious to the cause of the South by dividing the people of the State into two parties. Passing by its conduct during the canvass for Governor last summer, we refer particularly to its advice to the Legislature to turn out of office every man who was an original secessionist. The Standard called upon its friends in the Legislature to proscribe those who did not co operate with the so-called conservative party; and, acting on this advice, its friends in the T " 1 A 1, . I . . -, . . . urgiMamre, Having- 111 majority, rurnea our Page from the office' of Secretary of State to make room for a party favorite, Mr. Russ, a man who had abused and cursed the Confederate authorities. Mr. Page was an old whig, and was appointed to office by a democratic administration because he was better qualified for tho post,, by experience, than any other man in the State. But the Standard advised his removal on party grounds alone, and it was done. Air Courts, the old and faithful Public Treasurer; Georgo Davis, Confederate Senator; John Kerr, Superior Court Judge; Robt Strange, Wm. J. Houston, Solicitors, and other faithful aud competent officers, were all proscribed simply on party grounds. Not one of them were charged with incompetency; but they incurred the dis pleasure of the Standard by not voting with its party last summer. Hence their removal was de manded and the demand was obeyed by a -set of men who secured their seats in the Legislature by professing to ignore party. The Standard itself disclaimed party-feeling during the canvass, but no sooner was it ascertained that its particular friends had the ascendancy, than it boldly demanded the proscription of all who did not vote for Gv. Vance and co-opejate with what it cls the "conservative party." In this way, also, has the Standard's vtT90 been inJurious to tbe cause of the South, u hen there should have been no party feeling and no party malice, that paper engendered both by its general course and advice. These are some of the reasons for saying that the course of the Standard has been injurious to the cause of the South, and we hope we have even oon- a6sertln.at PaP" tW tUere iB BQ0$ CaUS0 & -ke i - ; poSS1Die tna5 warnomu aunu- "r;; ' longer.

They are now iainy ". .. . . . ,1i,vrtn. arrayed into two parties.one in favor and the other op posed to the abolition administration, but it is doubt- ful which will do us the most good. The course ot the abolitionists and their unconstitutional meas ures have so far benefitted the southern causeather than injured it. In consequence of this course, we hear of the resignation of federal officers, the rebel- ' nun f it m m thti I J Mini rpirniiHULS ui liitt rutwii l: J - C il.. sinomtr ana r o the refusal of men to-enlist in the Lincoln army; and it is now stated that even the tjaitor Stanly uas resigned his post at rsewbern and gone uaca i" North. All this may hasten terms of peace, but it remains to be seen whether those at the North who are rrow denouncing Lincoln will, when they get the power, be disposed to acknowledge the indepen dence of the Confederate States. It is true, the m - - rimatina nnnr ara thnt tllfiv will flfl Sfl. rUt We lIlinK fof e g()Uth tQ trust tu that and slacken efforts and preparation for a vigorous prosecution of the war. While the Government is organizing and discip lining armies, those who cultivate the soil should turn their attention to raising grain and meat ex clusively. Whether the war stops or cpntinuesfor another year, there will be an urgent demand and high prices for breadstuffs; especially will this be the case if the war progresses, and it becomes every true southern man to do all he can to supply the de mand and prevent suffering for food. The tdgns are indeed in our favor, and it is now certain that the yankees themselves despair of ever being able to subjugate us. One of the most en couraging paragraphs that we have seen is the fol lowing from the Fayetteville Observer : J6A letter from an intelligent North Carolin ian in the army, dated Petersburg Jan'y 29tb, informs us that he had just conversed with ex changed prisoners from Philadelphia, Baltimore and Frederick city, who say tbat Lincoln cannot carry on the war longer.than April or May, for that the 2. to 300,000 soldiers whose terms will expire are determined to go home; that over 75, 000 officers and men have dejerted; that nearly all who were at the hospitals say they will never fight again. Our correspondent says he has no doubt of this, for he himself was in a, hospital at Philadelphia during Oct.," Nov. and Dec, with over 3,000 yankees, and is satisfied that that was the feeling of three-fourths of them. He says the i South has more friends at the North than is gen erally supposed, who, at all haznds, supplied our sick and wounded prisoners with clothing and other necessaries. While he was al Fort Dela ware, from 25 to 50 deserted every day; from one camp of 1100 near Philadelphia, 700 runaway in one nignt. Tkaitous. Those who think there w.re more traitors and tories in North Carolina than in any other State of the Confederacy, are very much mistaken. There are some in this Statfe, and more we fear than some of our owu people seem to sup pose; but there are no more than in other States. For instance, we see it stated that large shipments of Cotton are being made from Memphis, Tenn., to the North. If the people around Memphis and other points in the West were true to the South, the enemy would get no cotton true men would not only refuse to sell it to Yankee traders, but they would burn it before it should fall into the hands of our enemies. Unfortunately, every State of the Confederacy is cursed with tories and traitors, and the sooner they are visited with swift punishment the better it will bo for the cause of the Souh. Whenever "the Confederate authorities lay their hands on a rascally traitor, we hope they-will hold him, the mutterings of growlers about habeas corpus, constitutional law, &c, to the contrary notwithstanding. E If one half tho reports about yankees desert ing from their commands bo rue, we should sup pose it would not bo long before the yanee armiei would quit the contest for the want of men. Ac cording to reports, the enemy must have lost sev eral thousand by desertion alone within the past month.- When they get into our lines they all tell the saina tale tired of fighting fer abolitionism and convinced that the South cannot be conquered. mm p - -c nr,.. . . Y" T T n - lir VvASK Of iVK . IX. J . IjrKAVES. V V O nOtlCO that Gov. Graham has made ft speech in the Legis lature in regard to the late arrest of Rev. R. J. Graves, a Presbyterian preacher living in Orange county. It will be remembered that Graves was returned to our State authorities, and a letter from the Secretary of War to Governor Vance states the cause of his arrest. The letter stated, among other things, that Graves was accused, on the au thority of a returned Confederate prisoner, of giv ing information to the enemy to the injury of the Confederate cause, and that he got a permit to go North by representing himself as a citizen of New York, desirous of returning home. We did not in tend to again allude to the case, but Gov. Graham, speaking in defence of Graves and in commenting on the letter of tho Secretary of War, omits en tirely to notice the false statement made by Graves to Gen. Winder in order to get a permit to go North. If the statement of Graves that he is a citizen of 'New York is true, why then tho Con federate authorities very properly supposed that they had a right to arrest him as an ulien enemj'; but if that statement whs false (and it seems that he now claims to be a citizen of North Carolina-) then it appears that he has certainly been guilty of deception and wilful falsehood. We are sorry that Gov. Graham, while speaking in Grates' favor, did not explain this matter. Mr. Graves' friends claim that, he is a citizen of this State, and Graves himself has taken protection un der that plea, thereby acknowedging that he made a false statement in order to visit the North. We know nothing rti the matter more than we see in the public papers, but inasmuch as Gov. Graham and others continue to blame the Confederate authori ties for making the arrest, we feel justified in alluding to the false representations of Graves to show that he is not as entirely guiltless as some seem anxious to make it appear Since the above article was put in typo we Bad the following dispatch in the Raleigh Progress, which indicates that there was good cause for the arrest of Graves : Hillsboro. N. C, Feb. 4. The examination of ; Rev. R. J. Graves took place to-day before the ; Hon. M. E. Manly George V. Strong appearing j for the prosecution, and Hon. W. A. Graham for the j defendant.

PoaT Hudsos, February 6. Deserters are constantly arriving In from the eaemy at Baton Rouge. For ike last two weeks two per day have arrived. All concur in confirming the reported" disaffection in Bank's army. They state tbat numerous officers resigned in conee queace of the arrival of negro regiment, and that the army is completely demoralized; in some cases it has reached revolt.. One regiment is confined in tbe penitentiary for laying down their arms. Reliable information states the forces at Baton Rouge at 1 5,000. There-are at present no indication:; of an advance. Banks is stated to have Eaid : "My army has gone to bell, and it is useless to deny it." A report coming trom Baton Rouge represents the sinking of tbe Yankee slaop-of-war Brooklyn by the Confederate States Steamers Alabama, Florida and Harriet Lane the Brooklyn having been-sent in pursuit of the latter.

FROM THE NORTn. Richmond, Feb. 6- Northern dates to the 4th have been received. Erastus Corning was nominated by the Democrats of New York for U. S. Senator. The first ballot re sulted as follows: Morgan (Rep.) 64, Corning 62, Dix 1, Wood I. Second ballot: Morgan 65, Corning 63. The Legislature then assembled in joint couvention, when Morgan was elected, receiving 86 and Corn ing 70. Tbe Herald has a lugubrious editorial, predicting a consolidated despotism of a number of petty military Republics in the North. It says that it will no longer do for the government at Washington to telegraph tbat our foreign relations are quite satisfactory. It thinks that Napoleon means to kick up a muss, and that in doing so he will be aided by Spain. This, it says, is proved by the resignation of the Spanish ilinistry. CRors, &C. A friend "has handed us a letter (too long for publication) giving an account of the writer's trip through the. counties of Harnett, Moore, Chatham, Randolph and Guilford. The result of his observations is, that the people have "oi oniy enougu 10 nvc on, wimoui any aanger oi i ! , . i i starvation, but that, notwithstanding the great numbers sent to the war, there are still enough laborers left to produce abundant; crops this year. The young wheat he says looks very well, though possibly not a full crop sowed. He says that the men who have means are as heretofore helping the families of those who have gone to the war, which should be done every where. lie was delighted with the beautiful woolen goods, jeans, blankets, &o., that be saw, made by the women and chil dren, who are thus furnished with plenty of work and good pay. Favctleville Observer, Small Treasury Notes. Treasurer Worth has made an arrangement with the Banks of the State, to supply them with unsigned Treasury Notes of less than SI, the banks to have them sign ed by persons selected for the purpose. By this means the Treasurer will be relieved of the large number of clerks in his office, and from giving his own personal attention to the matter; and the peo ple can get their shinplasters from the nearest bank. SouTn Carolina. The bill to guaranty Con federate Bonds, by which it was proposed to in crease the amount of the State endorsment of Confederate bonds from the proportionate share of South Carolina of the amount of $200,000,000 to that of $D0O,OOOrO0O, has passed three readiugs in both Houses of the Legislature. O Sale of Negroes. We learn that the negroes of the estate of John Masse j, deceased, (eighteen in number,) sold last week, brought 319,476 being an average of 31,082 each. We believe this is the largest average yet reported. Lan caster Ledger. Death from Vaccination. Robert Ram sey, an aged citizen, died at his home in South Iredell, week before last. He got himself vacci nated in both arms, which ran into iSyresipelis, aud death ensued. We learn that erroneous reports have got into circulation to the effect that small pox had appear ed in Statesville. We can confidently state that no case of this disease has appeared in our town, to the present time, and we hope will not, although like other places, we are liablo to it. Statesville Expresf. Morgan's Feats. Col. R. M. Geno, of Tex as, ives the Vicksburg Whig the following sta tistics of Morgan's career. IIe has fought 53 battles, killed 230 Yankees, wounded 372, captur ed 4,233, and destroyed property to the amount of 315,103,000, all with a force of 800, and with very small loss. In his late affair pt Hartsville, the first time he ctftnniandcd a brigade, he killed 10, wounded 18, captured 1,350, took six pieces of artillery and carried away or destroyed 5b,vUU worth of property. From Arkansas. Gentlemen direct from Arkansas confirm the report of the intelligence of the caDture of Arkansas Post, by the Federals. The garrison, four thousand in number, was j X principally militia, who fought gallantly for several nours, until they were completely neuimcd in by a greatly superior force, when they capitulated. Keiflforcementa wero on the way but tailed to reach them. General Holmes was concentrating his forces in the State, where he expected to be able to make a successful stand for the defence of the Trans-Mississippi Department. The approaching columns of the enemy were known to be very heavy, but confidence pervaded the minds of our people. The country has been almost entirely drained of supplies, and as neither army can. long subsist nnnn ln1 means, or can Drobablv secure adequate subsistence for a great length of time, early offensive operations may be anticipated.

We hope all who have more grain than is required for their own use till the net crop ripens, will sell it and relieve the wants of the country.
