The Jan- j uftry draft had been postponed in the hcpe that large bounties wonld indaoe tho soldiers now in the army to re-eniist; and this dr^ift shows tbat they have generally refused to do so.

Oonfederate victories this Spring w5!l end the war spirit, and fully and completely develop the prospects of an early peace Every effort of every man should be devoted for this year to the cause. The unit ed exertion of all the people, the revival of the spirit of 1861, will crown our tfforts of this year with peace. More depends upon the Spiring campaign than ever be pjre waited upon the conflict of arms If the Confeder ate armies are victorious. Linooln will be defeated in the Presidential election, tho draft will b« useless as means of r>oruitiBit bis army, and peace will fallow. If we are defeated, LinojlQ will be re-elected, the draft become a powerful meane of securing men, and the war iodeflBitely prolonge-i.” The Moseok D-icTaiSB Abakboskd —The non-in- terfcren(;e of the United Ftates in the French invasion and conqurst of Mexico has be(>n a taoit abandonment of the braggadocia pretensions set up for forty years past, that the United States would not allow any Euro pean power to interfere with tbe internal affairs of any nation on this Continent, or to acquire any territory in it. This pretension is now abandoned in terms as well aa taeitly, in a letter from Seward to Oen. Banlis, com mander of the yankee \rmy in Texas, on the frontier of Mexico, in which the General is ordered to abstain from aay interference with Mexican affairs. ‘'In tliis con flict,” says Seward, ‘‘we take no part, and, on the con trary, we practice absolute non-intefrereiioe and non intervention.” Simitar instructions have been written by Seward to tbe U. S. Ministers in France and Mexico How the lofty pride and arrogarce of the jaakee na tion have been humbled by the loss of the Gonf^deraey! Three years ago the French invasion of M«*xico would have been resisted. Now it is submitted to with a forced humility CdHQKBss—In the Senate, an Wedueaday, the miU* t»ry committee reported acainst the passage of Mr. Smifh’i bill in reUt’oa to farmers’ sabstitateB. A biU for the organisation of a General Staff for armies in the field W4S passed un^nimcasly. The House pasped a ncBber of resolutions of thanks to soldiere Whose re- eolistnients by regimrnts, brigades, and dlriwona, were anaoanced—amcag ethers to “the ga!ls«t brigade of North Carolina troops oommanded by Brig.

On Thur.’^day, nothing of interest in open session of either House.

House of Repre- sen'at ves, DOW a Gentral in ttie Confederate p«rvice, is making noble epeeches in various parts of the State of Georgia, stirring up tbat grdent patriotism which burned so brightly at the beginning of the war but which of late has seemed somewhat to slumber. 7be Ctl’cwiHg account cf his speech in Sumter county shows what a great soul he possesses and how his ex ample was infectious with the people. Oh for luoh a man in every Coafederate State! “A large number of the oitixens of old Sumter asssem- Med at the Court-House en last Saturday to hear an Kd'irQ^s from Oen Howell Cobb. His theme, of course,' was the war. the state of the country, the dangers that threaten us and the means of relief It was a most pa triotic And eloquent speech, such as few men in the Confederacy could equal, and none surpass He said our destiny was mainly in the hands ot the farmers, and that our success in this terrible war depended upon them to sustain our army. And to “prove his faith by his works,'* he prcp»ed to sell the Government 20,0U0 pounds of bacon, and 20,000 bushels of corn, at just whatever price it was disposed to pay him, and if the Governmeut could pay him nothing, giv* it to it. The Govemment should have it, price or no price. He also agreed to let the Inferior Court of thie county have 1000 pounds of baoou at 26 cents a poui\d, and 1000 bushel! of corn at 50 oenti a bushel, for tbe sol diers’ families cf the county. Afttr tbe address tee planters of the county' hefd a meeting and passed two resolutions: 1 That they furnish tbe Government with all their surplus com and bacon at the Government price. leav ing it entirely with the Govemmrat to fix the prioe 2 That they will furnish the soldiers' families wi'h corn, at 60 cents a bushel, 'and bacon at 26 cents a pound.

A PnoriTABLB Busisbss.—We have noard iteeauat- ed that the outward cargo of the Ad-Yance, ou oer eve ry trip, is worth five times aa much in England as tha cost of what she brings back. And we can well believe it, since we learn that she has jiut gene out with up wards of 709 bales of cotton, vrorth in Engtani about $200,000. Cotton is now dear abroad, whilst 4^e shoes an.*, blankets and cloths purchased by Gov Vanoe are cheap there. It results that the State iuuet be accumu lating a fund of sterling excliange in England. Proba bly the cotton did not cost as much in* curreney as it produces in gold in England And as the government pays for the snppliea furnished to the soldiers, the ope ration is evidently not a losing one. Tbe good fortune which has attended this sagacious enterprise of the Gov ernor is as marked as it# effeot in distinguishing the N Carolina troops as the best clad of any in the army.

Captubsd 81.AVB8 —Mr Curry of A!ab»-r?4 has in troduced in Coneress a preamble aad resoluticn- «cU'og forth tbe difficulty interposed by the Liccoln irovern- ment t» the ejchamge ef prisoners, vi*: that they re quire tha? sKves who htkve been armed by the yankees and are captured by iur force*, sh»Il be regarded aa prisoners of war. Tbe resolutions decUr:i tbat “tbe emancipation of tbe negro slaves within the Confeder ate States, by the enemy, is not an'i»!g tbe aotn of le- gitiiaate warfare; but i* prrpcrly cKs>"ed, by writers on public law, including tbe most eminent publicists of the Dnitel States, among such ao's as ‘putting to death all prisoners in cold blood and without special cau^e, or the right to use poisoned weapons, or to assassint^te ’ ” The refusal of the Executive to entertain any proposi tion to treat them as prisoners Of war is approved; at the s»me time that it is declare^ not to be the intentioe to exclude from treatment as prisoners of war such free-eolored persona and their oflieers as were not resi dent within the Confederate States at the commence ment cf the war. • This is ol>*«rly taking the true ground, both as to free-col red soldiers and armed slaves. Ahotueb “Elboakt Extbaot.”—The last Raleigh Standard lays;— ., “The Observer says we have “confessed that we used to abufe liov. G.*abam, Mr. Badger, Gov. Vauce. Mr Gilmer and others, as untrue to th« South.” Tbis is not true.” » • That is not what the Observer said, and very shabby aonduct is it in tbe Standard to profess to quote our statement, and begin at the very middle of our sen tence, where there is not evett a comma, and end by omitting the material part of the sentence. Here is wbat the Observer said, referring lo some mis-state ments made by the Stand.%rd as to the private bustnesa of the Editors of the Observer:— ‘ Sjme of these dayei, for ‘party purposes’ the Stand- j srd may adujit that it ma)e them o9ly for “party pur poses,” just as some time «go we are informed th*t it confessed that it used to abuse Gov Graham, Mr. Bad ger, Gov. Vance, Mr. Qiimer and many others as un true to the South, not because they were* so, but, for “party purposes.” Now let u3 see whether our informant told the tru'h. We tftke proof that he did From the Raleigh Standard, Apri^ 23, 1862. “The Regi$t«r and Gov Oraham —Ttie Editor of the R’cister is resortiug totbe fiUii of the Standard in 1846. for the pur(osc uf shdwiug whiit we then thought and snjii of Gov. Orab»m * * * Now, we admit that wc U!f d - very wnrfl whiab tbe Register has copied froai tbe Standard agHinst Gov Graham. We did so in the hfcats of party strife, and for party purposes.”* We think that is enough. It is scarcely worth while to waste time looking over old issues of the Standard for similar confessions as to the causes of its malignant abuse of the others named. The point we made against the Standard is fully established. And what a position has tho Standard chosen for itself! Is there another m all tha bounds ef North Carolina that would confess /o having abused a political opponent, not because that opponent deterred abuse, but “fob party PuaposBS?” How c-irrupt lo do this—how shameless to confess it! Thb TxLiioaAMi —After two years of exertion in various quartern we have at last succeeded, through -our excellent Governor, in procuring the e8tabli8hm**»t of a li*ic of telegraph from this place to Raleigh The wires were set to work on Friday last, and the first dis- }^atch we had the pleasure of receiving was an announce ment of the arrival of another Steamer with a valuable cargo fer the State. In a few days we hope to make arrangements by which cur readers shall have regularly toe advantage of our improved facilities for obtaining news. Col. Thrasher will not sell us his news unlens we-print a daily paper, although we propose to pay him precisely the same amount as if we did. Before resorting to that, which we shall do very unwillingly, we are waiting tbe result of other negotistiens. Ths Daily North Carolinian of this pUce made its •ppearance on Friday last. Oa Saturday it had Rich mond dispatches by the telegraph just completetl te this ^oe Our neighbor’s types look all tbe better for their three years’ rest, Tbb Miutabt Bui,.—Ike Riehmond papers menrton a report th»t the Haute hu pasMd the Senate military MU wuk BatBd», Md oU MNBptioos iirioktB «aL * The portion omitted, for which we have substituted three Asterisks, ia merely some abuse of the Editor of the Register. ' A MsLANCUOLr Rblapsb.—The Ualetgh Standard declines to correct its dntruthful statements as to tho private business affairs of the Editon of this p«r,)r. It declines to avail itself of the proper sources of correct infirmation as to the private matters in question, though its own file is one of the deposits of information to which we referred it. It declines to copy our reply.to its statements—(which statements were copied in full, every woid, into the Observer)—though it had solemnly pledged Itself but a few weeks ago to cnpy in full every article in the Observer to which it might deem it a duty to reply. It prefers to repeat its untruthful statemenu. Weil, let them pass. It issoarcely woith while to trou ble our readers with another refutation of them. We are not greatly surprised or mueh oonoeijild at the Standsrd’s course, though it i* sad to see a newspaper, which had latterly risen to a considerable degree of re spectability, fall baek info old lew habits and em ploy itself in prying into our sm'^ke-house and oora* crib and other branches of our privatf buslBeBS. ^ Next, we suppose, it will extend its ressarohes to oar ward robe. By way of assisting it to correct information on th* subjeot, shall we farnish it with th* nases of oar toiltr uA ihownktrt Thb G&B£iiiiB0S0’ Mkbtibo—Jas. A. Long, Esq , who presided over tbis ujeeiing, statis in the Patriot that the noises that interrunted the meeting and pre vented the speeches from being heard, proceeded from “a few, and the most ef them boys.” Fbom Liboolm Gocbtt.—A letter of business from a subscriber in Line .In county, says:— 'The Convention scheme is an “ambition that o’er- leaps itself.” A decide4 reaction is going oil in this part of the State. * * The thing is played ont.” DiSTiiBBABOB IN Gaoton Covhtt.—A tusiness letter from a subscriber in.Gaaion county, 21 instant, s»ys: “Notice was given a few days ago that a Convention Holden Meeting would be held at the county seat (Dalli,e) on tbe 80kh J-.inuary. Some two dolen rersoi:s attend ed, and after org^niz ng and ready tu proceed to busi- aess, soiue half it dozen Bol'iiers eut‘red the I'ourt House and deliberately walked up to the oierk's table and gathered up all tbe papers placed tberc for (be action of t-be meeting ‘»nd took others from the iiA&ds of some of tbe memcsrs of the meeMiig. aud tor* them into ribbons and stamped thoc; u'der their fe«t. The meeting was breken up in short order, without acriAn on the resolutions sent out from Raleigh. It w^is all done in a quiet way; no disturbance was. made. I pre- bume the next meeting will be private.” Another Utter says that they were “soldiers oa iuf- lough.” Thb Obsbb.vsr’8 Cihcclation —Ttie Standard will have it that our oircuiation is deoreaaisg. Well, if it please the Standard to think so, it is welcoote to tht gratification. People who chastise children sometimes quiet their laiaentations with a stick of candy to suck or a toy to play with The Standard is is need of that sort of soothing. When it recovers from the pain of the drubbing it hae received from the people and tho Ob server, we will again refer it for correct ioformation lo the Post Matiter and paper-maker. We don’t know whether the Standard receives the letters "from all parts of the State” which it mentions kb informing it that the Conservatives are dropping the Observer by hTindreds. We have our doubts as to the letters. But we know that if it receive such letters they t>-re aa little woriliy cf reliance as tho Standard itself—tht>y are ut- terly false. The Standard insists upon it also that we are losing money on the Observer by furnishiog it to subsoribers M less than cost. Did it not occur to the Standard tb>t it gave a flut ocntradietioa to this pet notion by also in sisting that we do net raiso the price for fear of losing our subscribers? Plain people will wonder why we should fear to lose subscribers if we lose money by them. Each one c»rtaihly adds to our labor; and the Standard-will have it that each oue adds to our loss. What fools must we be to wish to retain th^m or to in crease their number as we do largely every day. There is an old saying that people ef a certain habit which shall be naioeless should have good memories. But the Standard, which is a slave to the hnbir, serms not to have sufficient memory to keep to the sani^ story from tbe beginning to tbe end of a sir’fcie par»gra«b. Who can wonder at its forgetfulness of wb»t it used to say in 1861? * JACkson's cavalry, when a lively fight took place Mcibilb, Feb’y 5.—A dispatch to the News, dated Clinton, Feb’y 4, says that Sherman’s two corps, under McPherson and Hurlbut, are advancing.

The cit; is full of rumors and excitement Tht Affair *n Hardy Qoun^y.—From a gentleman Who recently left the Valley we have some particulars of the fight at WiUiamspcrt, Hardy cuunty, on Saturday last. The fight OR our side was ohitfly with cavalry, and the artillery attached to Gen. Rosser’s brigade. Our loss in killed and wounded it is thought will net exceed 40, while, by their own confession, the enemy lost in this way not less than 80.
