This nould be one oi the objections to confiding (0 the Statea or the people ibe' right to F-ake treaties. But there are others too plain to ne^d more than a mention, in the difflculiy and delay of getting a de'^isioit of the people on moh mat ters. In short, so preposterous i» the idea of "the peo ple” negotiatirg treaties, making war and concluding peace, tkat it may well be donbted whether euch an idea ever entered tbe head of any but the worst sort of a demagogue, such an one as is everlastingly prating of his devotion to “the people! tke people!” and everlast ingly misleading tbe people to their own hurt and bis own fancied advantage The extent tx> which this evil fiction kae bera okrried may be judged from the followitig extract from a paper which follows in the wake of the Standard:— “If the govprnraent formed at Montgomery was in tended to be a Confederation of sovereign States, no peaoe can be made without the consea)t of each of tbe States, and to cbtain this th^will of the majority most b« ascertained.” Truly is this “tbs blind leading the blind.” Let as see what 'says the Constitntion of “tke government farmed at Montgomery^” by which Constitution the people of all the States have agreed faithfaliy to abide: “He i^the President] shall have power, by and with tbe advtoe and consent of tbe Senate, to make treaties, provided two tbirde of tbe Senators preseiit eoncor ”— Art 2, «M 2, paragraph 2, Constitution of ConftUeratt Statu. “No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or oonfederation ’’—Art 1, tee 10, par. 1, of tani Cfintti- tution. . “Nor shall any State keep troops or ships of war in time of peaoe, enter into any agreement or compact witk another State, or with a h>r«ign power, or engage in war, pnless Actually invaded, or in snob imminent dan ger as will not admit of delay.”—-ir( 1, tec 10, par. 3, of tamt Cofutitution. How any man, especially any Editor, can, in tbe f^oe of these express provisions, claim a right in “the people” to negfftiatn with Lincoln,' passes our coispre- b^sion. Espeoially is tbe Standard estopped from makiag any such claim, as its Editor waa » member of (hastate Convention of May 1861 by which this Con stitution of the Confederate States was unanimously adopted. prisoners had fared aa well or be^'ter than our own soldiftrs. ^ On Saturday night tbe Senate passed a. bill to issue tohftcoo rations to tbe soldiers, and agreed (0 Houos BiU allowing officers rations and to purchase clothing Qov’t prices Tee special order for to^d»y is (be bill limiting terms of cabinet officers to twoyearq, and a bill conflscating property of persens emigrating to avoid service Thi Hillsbobocoh RieooBDBK —The 19th inst. was the 44th anniversary of the eeta li^hment of tbia uni formly respectable and useful paper, and that day found its original rroprietor still at its h^ad, and he speaks of a remnant of bis original subscribers as being still on his list Mr. Heartt is the “Father of the Press” in Norih Carolina, and as the uniform advocate of Law and Order, he deserves the veneration with which he is re garded by all the younger members of that turbulent family.

Tbe only ^complaint we ever heard of him was onetkat leans to virtue’s side, in that be has not sufficiently followed tke wise injunotioff of Solomon against “sparing the rod,” But, though his kindly oatsre has not permitted him to be harsh towards error, we doubt if he ever penned ■A line that, dying, he would wish to blot.” May be have many more years of ustjfol and honored old age. * Tbb’Coihbdbbatb Tlx—Colleotor Hardie gives us ^the following as tke amounts collected by him in this town and county from July 1861 to Feb'y 1864, viz: In 1868, f140,468 00 In Jan’y 1864* 402.166 96 9542.629 96 Abont $16,000 more will bemadded f(om persons who have not been able to make up thsir aocoonta of profits on dealings with Wilmington Jtg. We are gratified to learn from Mr. Hardie, not only that these taxes have been paid witk remarkable oheer- fulne|s, bat tbat he and the two assessors, with two horses, have spent »boat thirty dnys nnd nights in varions parts of the county, and not only had nothing to pay for food or lodging, but had many more invita tions than they could -accept from tke hospitable and patriotic farmers of Cumberland. Frauds.—We learn from several sources in tbe West ern part of the State, that gross frauds are being per- COBOBBSSIOHAL SriBOHKs.—The Raleigh Standard I petrate^ in getting up petitions 10 the Governor to call considers our not having published a certain speech in Congresi as “evidence that the Observer has gone over bag and baggage to tke Deatrnctives.” Like most of ike Standard's evidence, this is unreliable—far more unreliable than the evidence we could produce tkat the Standard has gone over bag and baggage to the yan- kee», one item f which is. tkat the Standard has not bad a single wcrd of Editorial notice of the remarkable and patriotio voluntary re-enlistment of the troops. We doubt if there is anstber pap^r in tbe Confe ieracy that has failed to rejoice over this m&st glorious and encour aging event, upon which, under Providence, probably depends the success of oui* great causo and tbe inde pendence of the Confederacy. As to Congressional speeches in these stirrin? times of war, we do not remember to have published one since the war began, and it is quite likrly tbat we shall not publish one till it ends. There are two kinds of “Destructives.” One >s doing its beet to bring destruction upon the yankees who are in vading our soil and committing evpry species of outrage upon defenceless old men, women and children. Tbe other is laboring for tke destruction of the Confederacy, by trying to get a Convention to “withdraw” North Ca« rolina, tbe “key-stone of the Confederate arch,” where upon, as the Standard says, the whbl# straotnre will fall to the ground. The Observer belongs to the first named kind of “Destructives”—he Standard to the last. the Legislature together for the parpose of authorising a Convention. Not only iB the name of Gov. Vance* falaely used as sanctioning this movement, but tne same persons are signing several of the papers, so as to awell the number of ‘ names; and persons i^ider a^e are also asked and allowed to sign them. And the pretedce is made that .Qov. Vance has directed a list of the names of all who refuse to sign to be taken on tk« back of the pipers. Wa repeat that our tnformalion of these frauds comee fjrom several respectable soarces. ^ CONIOIATOBT.—The Raleigk Confederate says that the Standard has in its day assailed every man of pq- litioal fame in North Carolina, but then every unch man has the consolation of knowing that it has also applauded him at some period or other. And the Con federate does the Standard the justice to believe that itt heart was no more in one case than in the other—it was all done “for party purposes,” as it confessed in regard to its abuse of Gov. Graham in a paragraph wtaioh we quoted from tbe Standard in the Observer of the 8th inst. Let the reader cast bis eyes around the Statft and be will see that the Standard’s present favorites are men whom it was formerly in tbe constant habit of denoonoing, and those whom it now denoj^nces are med who were once its prime favo^tes. Tahkbb Mxii AKD Mobbt —The New York World sums up Lincoln’s various calls for troops since tbe war beg»n, as folIo«7E:— « April 15, 1861, May 4, 1861, From July to Deoembe*. July 1, 1862, August 4, 1862, Draft, sumqier of 18^3, February 1, 1804, Total 1861, 75.000 (j4,74* 600 000 300 000 300 000 300.000 600.000 2,039.748 This is t larger number than we bad supposed. %If tbe comparative handful of Confederate soldiers have been able to wbip tbn 1,639.748, who can doubt their ability to dispos*? of the 600,000 now called for—pro vided they should come at tbe c^ll. which is more than douVtfnW But the World adds another encouraging view It , sans up the vanous loins and isaues of greenbacks, and shows the indehtednees of the Yankee government to be S8,7 4,912 800. Nearly four thotisand millions of dellars! This is a yankee statement. It is true that this dobt is Expected to enriply the means to o^rry -on tke war to the end of this fiscal y"ar, but that is only 4J months oflf; and the debt is put down at tbfet stupendous snm on tbe 1st'of July 1864 But that is not alK The States, the cmnties, and the towns, alt over the North, are involved in something like the same proportion. A few Confederate victories this Spring will puncture tbe yankee bubble, and tbe “universal yankee nation" will vanish like the parts of a child’s soap babble. * Pbbsiobht Davis’s Audrb‘'S.—One the most admi rable and eloquent papers of the period is the Address of th»Pretident to the soldiers who liave voluntarily re-enlisted for the war. It comes from tbe heart and goes to the heart It will add to the enthusiasm of the army and inspire kope and confidence and determiua tion among both army and people. Tbe Rxv. Dr. Drury Lacy, Chaplain in tbe army, has delivered Addresses at Greensborougb and other places on the war add the state of the ooontry. The Patriot wys, “his discourse was able and Bloquent and replete with sentiments of enooaragemsnt in the final eaoMsa ofoarnaoN.” Ekamcipatiob ahd Extbbminatioh.—The New York World justly regards these as going hand-in-hand. It oit^s the official reports of the horrible mortality on the government plantations in Louisiana, on one of which, in months, 214 negroes died out of 418, on another 221 died out of 400. on a third 268 had died out of 300, and so on. This is worse' than the mortality in the slave sUtps, of .which tbe world used to have suoh hor rible accounts. The World says, that though in favor of the eitinotion of slavery, “it ip as clear as tbe noon day suo, that tbe freedom of the Southern blacks must speedily end in (he annihilation of the racc.” Tbe WorM adds that the women are debauoaed and-discas ed by tbe yankee soldiers, and then left to die. That their masters always had physicians and nurses for (heir sick slaves, bat tMre is no one now to care for them, and they arc dying like cattle. “Filth, idleness, exposure, irregularities and vice have in less than two years so deteriorated their oonstitutiond that their bodies ar« the natural food of pestilence, and when once an epidemic disease breaks out it is next to im- pofsible to s ay its ravages. Gen. Banks has felt con strained to eflforee an order,, for reasons, he eaya, of ptfblic heaith, prohibiting tlft negroes from going from one plantation tn another. The debased morals, debili tated consktution!>, and frightful mortality of these poor black wretches are a sickening commentary on abd- lition philanthropy.” Labob Rbwabd.—Six firms, the owners of tho 1025 bales of cotton destroyed by fire in Wilmington last week, have offered a reward otfifty thoutand doUa'rs.ioT tbe detection of the inoendiarieu who stt fire to it. We would caution owners of cotton everywhere to be on their guard, for i(r is not at all improbable that ther* are yankee emissaries in tke South who have set fire to tbe several large lots of cotton that liave been recently burned at different places in the Confederacy.

' After quieting bis aunt’s mind as to himself and bis brother (an officer) both having been barefooted, by tb«r assurance tbat they wer/ new well shod end well cl^ed, he says:— • “I am extremely grateful to Uncle for bis endeavors to wocure me a pltuse, and I cannot tell you^ow delight ed I would be (0 live wi(h you, but honor and duty compel me (0 decline.

Another greater and more forcible argument thjn any is, that there has been started i«i this army a spirit of re-enlistment that is spreading tbruunb the euiir force and whicit I venture to say will make this ari.;y by Spring one consolidated, entbu!iastio and determiu- ed bulwsrk between our homes and the enemy It seems as if Provideflce, ever merciful, bad in all our_ darkneps, ^iven us tt^i^ ane ray of light by which to see our way. The movement ccmmenced With tbe 154th Tenn. and spread like wild fire through all (ha Tenn Begt’s. so tbat tbe whole of Cheatham’s ano most of Stewart’s Divisions Jtave voluntarily re-enlisted for the war. Last week, the first signs in our division shoved theraeelves. Oye beautiful night 1 was awakened by one prolonged cheer, anf on going out found an i» mense crowd around tbe Colonel’s tent. There were about 3000 perfectly wild with entbusiasm who had tjome to show their desire and willingness to go in for the war. After a speech from tbe Col. they formed a procession and started for Gen. Govao. There was a band of 26 musicians and tbe men marched to tne tnne of “Dixie” with as much life and enthusiasm as in ’61. It was a glorious sight; I shall never forget it. Could the cowardly skulkers have seen it. (bey would be ashamed in their hearts. Tbe next day the enlist ing commenced and tbe majority of (he brigade is ai- reMyln. It will all ho doubt ^6 in. Tbe Col. after swearing in the officers, assembled the men. Tbeywefe siifira in banoj^es of fours. There those men, the fires eCjMtriotism ilJLnminatiog (beir eyes, their hats off, their bands on tbe Bible, stood with tbe blush of pon * scions heroism on their faces—taking tbe oath of eter nal fidelity to their coantry. }n that oath they swore to die freemen rather tban live slaves. Ob it wa^ a grand sight. Gen. Johnston is verr popular and has tbe confidence of the army.” A UsBruL IxsTiTCTioN.—A letter from Lane’s Brig ade, Army of North Virginia, gives the following ac count cf a shoe-shop just established by General Lane The example should be universally followed. Indeed it is surprising that every Brigade, and evea Regiment, has not had its ahoe-shop, soap factory, Ac. ' “Libebtt Mills, Va., Feb’y 6 “The General has had * Brigade shoe-shop built, shoemakers detailed frjom the Regiments, and the ne cessary tools made m camp. The lasts, (some of them as handsome in finish and shape as those made in yan- keedom,) ^yrls, pincbera, pegs and hammers, are all the york of our own artificers. Tl^ monotonous noises of the shoe-shop, unpleasant ordinarily, become sweet sounds in camp—for they make you think you are not in camp—and tbe musio of the cobblers’ hammerings is added to^ht martial strainft of Col. Avery’s fine brass band and the humdrum notes of a country darkey who ‘picks” his csmg-made banjo, near our headquarters each night, from sunset ad infinitum. The shoe'ektab- lishment—the whole affair having been gotten up under the immediate supervision of Capt.
