" c far as it ones. i airainst it. "No man or sf 0 men are entitled to'exclusive or sepa- tho. mmmunitv. rate fuiutuiiiviiio, ... 1 -o but in consideration of public services." This "lan giwgc'is absolute. To ascertain whether it is appli cMe, wc have only to enquire : First, can a religious sect be described by a "set of men ? " Secondly, is immunity from fighting, in case of invasion or insur rection, "an exclusive privilege fu We think the affirmative of these questions are axioms. We will not stop to quibbje over the differ ence in signification between seel and tet,-leaving that to the student and his lexicographer. The simplest mind will readily, perceive that, .without a "set of men,", no sects could exist. Then it wonU seem very 1 it .. . j1 . f . ...v.... .11 oli nHwnf mBn" piaiu mat no sect 01 men, un Ul ...... are entitled "to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from .the community, but in, consideration M,f public services1," and, if only in consideration of public services, ccitaiuly not in consideration of reli gious tenets And as t some will denytiat immunity from fighting, in case of invasion or insurrection, is an "exclusive privilege," surely none will claim that any sect or set-of men ought o. enjoy it. . .. But this construction of the "Hill of Rights" is strengthem d and confirmed by theSith section of the constitution which places all denorninatioiiS of chr:s- knsou the broadest equality,' strictly jrohHiiling the 'Reference -to one, over another. Its, language is ex plicit enough. It says: I There shall be ho establishment of any oijc religious church or denomination, in this State, in jtrkftrence to any other." ; 'And while itjustly provides iht "all Arsons shall be at liberty to exercise his own; modeof worship" there Ls not a word in it which can be corstrued into a nullification of that divine law, pr.irnulgel by the Su- prenie law giver, who never dil in who told his cotintryfcon accordii ustice to any, and to the fleoh, to "render unto Cajur the things t'.ial are Cesar's, and 'into Go I the things'that areGodJ" Th'j l);clar ition of Right aud tfe C :i;titutiou of the State both denying ti Quakers the iniiviuity from bearing arms which they claim, and the diviue law enjoining upon them, in comm m with all other citi- . 7ihl! iVin lliT nf AaCm.Mltrr tUn Sfifo nTinst. its Ptlft- "VIIUj 111 v M V L. ll I VIIHI Q vav v " - - - mies, m return for the protection yliipli tney rec uve, is it expedient to,exompt them by legislative enact-' - racnt ? We hold that it is not only inexpedient, but that it is granting them an "exclusi ve privilege" con trary to the letter and spirit of the .fundamental law of tho land, by which all other seats are governed. Wc are relieved from examining the subject further, .by the announcement, at our table, that the assem bled learning and wisdom of the State, known as the Convention, in one of its anomalous freaks, and for want of-something useful to do; has just taken action upon the ordinance by engrafting upon it an amendment exempting Quakers frbmmitftary duty on condition that each member, within'thc military age, .shall piy a tribute of one hundred" dollars into the State Treasury, or serve m the salt works or the hos pitals during the .war. The commutation, we sup pose, is better than nothing, on the principle that a half loaf is better than no bread ; but we can't see into the reason of the thing. The verytact that tho Convention subjectsthem to pay a penalty denies them the right to claim the immunity for which that pen alty may be regaided as an equivalent, f Then, this immunity is not granted them as of rightj nor yet of grace, nor withal ot conscience, but as .'a matter of purcliase Then, if Quakers be allowed to purchase this immunity, why may uot Episcopalians, Baptists,- Presbyterians:, Catholics, Masons, Odd Follows, Union rnon and. Secessionists? N.iy, why may not every .'poltroon iii the land who can fork over his hundred - dollars to the Treasurer of the State.?. The absurdity of such legislation is so palpable as to arrest the at tention of every thinking mind. The Quaker is outraged, by allowing .him Jhe exercise of his con scientious scruples ojily for a' compensation; while, at the. same time, h has confer re 1 on him an "exclu sive privilege" cxressly forbidden by the Constitution.- It is said the onlinince will p.i! : A friend writing us from "Camp, near Kinston,' on the 22nd, gives us an account of the late skirmish at "Gillct's house" which doe not, differ materially from that which wchave already -published,, except that he puts down the number of the enemy at 330, "including a 'Colonel, a Lt. Colonel and a Major." . Having conversed with the guide and with those who. visited Gillet's, the day after the -fight, we think the number of tho enemy is exaggerated, and we can't well sec how anybody could have ascertained with such accuracy tho rank of tho officers commanding This may all be bo, however, and we therefore make the statement, but wo deem it unnecessary to publish , forth.

Sec Lilla nvm aod programme. ... - Thk Convention.--Tliis body is getting along pretty smoothly if 'not rery wisely. Their proceed ings are recorded pretty fully up to Monday evening, to the exclusion of more intet esting matter, but their constituents want to know what they are doing, and mu. be'gratified. : It will be seen by. a memorial from the citizens of Rutherford that the good people of that county are tired of. the Convention and wish it to resolve itself as speedily as possible into its primitive elements and each member return to his plow or his gun. Ruther ford county is not alone in this matter, since almost every member we talk with says that himself and his people are imbued with the same sentiment. v The Quaker exemption ordinance has not yet passed and is elsewhere alluded to as one of the most bung ling and inconsistent acts of legislation ever attempted to be put upon the Statute book of any State. " . Since the Convention refused to Gov. Clark his con stitutional right to jntinue in office until the first day of January, we are glad to see that they have adopted the plan of filling that important office, recommended j by this paper, and allowed the people to elect one m his stead. The election will take place at the usual time and the Governor elect will qualify and enter on j the duties of his office on the second Monday of Sep tember proximo, and-ccntinue in office until his succes sor be qualified. , ' The time for receiving the returns from camp has been extended to two weeks from the day of election , which is a wise provision ; batjVPVight be well also to provide that, in case the soldiers be deprived of the opportunity to vote on the day indicated, they be al lowed to vote on the next convenient day thereafter.

They will cause them to be promptly vaccinated, and in ordering Chem to the field will, as far as practicable, prefer those who hare passed through the usual camp diseases. They will establish hospitals in connection with their camps, and make rcquisiton for such medical attendance and stores as may be required. 5. The - commandants of regiments battalions, squadrons and unattaehed companies, in service on the 16th inst., will send copies of their , muster rolls to the commandant of the proper camp of instruction in their respective States, with officers to take charge of such recruits as may be furnished to said corps.- The said commandants will apportion the recruits among such corps in proportion to the deficiency of each, except when otherwise specially uirecieu pyme department, alloting, as far as practicable, to each such corps the men from the regions of country in which it has been raised. 1 hey will, from time to time, send off such bxlies of recruits as are ready for the field,, and will report on the first Monday of every mouth the number of recruits in camp, their condition, the number cot off during the month, and the regi ments and corps to which they were sent. i. 1 ne coiiimuou.ui C.

West 4 in com mand of the nilitia of this county. We alluded last week to a fight on Laural between the tories and some Tennessee troops. We regret to ; learn that several of our men were killed, and the rest compelled to retreat, being largely outnumbered. From the formidable preparations being made, we are inclined to think that if tho invaders can be brought to "the scratch" they will receive such a ohastiscment as they are not likely soon to forget. Should we receive any intelligence of an important character in a day or two, we will communicate it to our readers in an Extra. Aihivillt N:io.i. We learn that the foregoing is based upon a state of things more imaginary than real. On the appear ance of our troops at one of. the- points it was fouud that the Union men had flea, ami on being scut after and their arms demanded, they were promptly given up. There are no ttnes irm icnncssee in tnat neighborhood, as reported, and the kil ing of Davis and the shaving of the heads of Colonel Gdeman's men, seem to be the result of drunkenness rather than of disloyalty. Matters are represented to us as being all quiet in the region of Laurel. Eds. State Journal. , Our Enemies. The Confederates states have four distinct classes of enemies : i.. 1. The government and people of the United States are our enemies, liut they are open enemies. 1 ney meet us upon the field with arms in their hnds, and make war upon usv They shout down our soldiers, burn our houses, destroy our property, and steal our negroes. We know where to find., and how to deal with such an enemy. - - . m .a. 2. The second class ot "enemies are the croaiters the long-faced men of faint hearts aud weak u rves, who go up and down the country, seeking to unpart their own despondency and cowardice to all with whom they come in contact. Weak of purpose,- faint of heart, and cowardly in spirit, they would destroy the confidence of everybody else, and abandon every thing to the Federals.

A cor- i .. . ,,u(( respondent, writing from Corinth about the great oat- tie, says : The plan of the battle, which we understand is due to the genius of General Beauregard, is the strong-st one known in military sciences It was composed of three parallel lines the., front, centre and rear ; each line bavin? its centre and two flanks. The reserve was attached to the rear lire, and the artillery placed in position between the front and centre. General jm.

I'ha Statesville KxpTes admin isters the following timely rebnke to those papers who are always finding fan It with the Government and the action of Government officer. We commend it to the especial attention of the Ralrigh Standard J . It is evident to every reflecting mind that the course which a few papers in the Confederacy, are pursuing is calculated to injure seriously, if not ruin, the success of tae Southern cause. By their injudi cious course they are doing more to aid Lincoln than they are to aid the South. We do not expect Presi dent Davis, or any other man, to be free from faults and perfect in judgment. We never believed that secession was the proper remedy for Southern grie- vance, but inasmuch as it has been resorted to, we are for doing everything that will rtrengtheo, and not weaken, the success of tlie revolution But bow ia it ith those who are centinuallv endeavorins to create ing worse, or more injurious to the cause of the South, President Davis may have recommended measures which, upon examination might not appear free from objections, and his agents assume authority which' he never delegated to them. But do these afford suf ficient reaeon to tear down and - destroy the only fab ric under whose roof our liberties aud future welfare may hope to find protection. Distrust the Govern ment and what becomes :of its currency T millions of which have gone and w daily going into the pockets of the people, who have sot! their property for it, to prosecute the war. Destroy ' the Government, and where do we land ? And yet there are men encaged daily in doing all this, who make loud professions of loyalty to the South. . The success of the Southern cause depends- n poo - alt friendship ni support ef tit whuie people to the Government. This is the foundation upon which to rest the fabric which Southern men are now engaged in building, for the protection of their property, their lives, and their liberties. Let it be finished and tried, and then, if it. does not answer the purpose, alter or abolish it. After that, it will be quite time enough to liok out for other quarters. If Jeff Davis grows into a Dictator, we can emigrate to Abraham's do minions, and at least choose between two evils. Domestic enemies are more to be dreaded than foreign foes.
