In addition . to this, we learn that a tftilitary force perhaps more than one- has been detailed and ordered to certain western coun ties to intimidate and restrain those insubordinate persons, or to arrest and Tiring them to justice.

It will be seen, by an 'order issued by Gen. Martin for the Confederate States, and Gov. Vance for this State, that hereafter conscripts will be allowed to select the infantry regiments they may wish to join ; and that regiments on -duty in this State are allowed to recruit from the conscripts. See General Order No. 2, dated. Raleigh, September 9. This is a decided improve ment. It is in strict accordance, too, with the con script law itself, which provides that conscripts shall be permitted to select their own regiments. Heretofore, in many instances, they, have been huddled off to regi ments not of their choice, and hot little attention paid to their wishes inv this respect. Gov. Vance has or dered otherwise, and we have no doubt the servicer will ba benefitted by it, while justice will be done to the conscripts themselves by a faithful enforcement cf tb-j lav? in thi respect. v Death of Gen.

G v. Clark has reserved the post of Major for Capt. Rand in his old regiment, the 2Gth,'but he should be permitted, it possible, to re cruit himself fully before he accepts this new respon sibility. "We trust ho and every other man of the re turned prisoners may be allowed sufficient time to re . gain their wouted strength and elasticity of spirits. The State welcomes the returned heroes-r-old - Wake will do honor to hrs. foe ; and is amply acknowledged in the patriotic In- , j or indirectly. 'That Order is issued by Brigadier I augural of Gov. Vance. As soon as1 president Davis recommended the mea- sure.to'Congress, and while it was under consideration before that body, the Raleigh Standard d& all in its . power to reader it odious and oppressive in the minds of the people. -On the 5th of last April, it published an elaboratet article denouncing the wholecheme as tyrannical atid despotic, sod its author,. President Da vis, as the vilest despot in all creation.; I he inevita ble tendency of that article was to infuse hatred of the Confederate 'government, and especially of Presideut Davis, into the minds of the people at home and of the army in thej field. It charged the Confederate gov ernment with attempting to break a contract, to which it had become a party, with the twelve months volun teers, byfoiting the men composing those regiments to serve uunng ine war. is aiuniiou m mw months mei had a right to be discharged at the expi ration of their terms, and expressed it3 firm belief that they would insist on that right, and consequently re fuse to remain in the army. It entered its protest m this.solemn form : . "We protest not only against the bad faith involv ed in this proposition, but against the blow aimea at the rights of1 tie States, by this attempt to reach out the arm ofthe Confederate power, and take our citi zens for the war." ' . Upon whose ear, we ask, was such language to fall? Do we not Ue its bitter fruits in the base conduct of those deluded persons contemplated in the proclama ttim f o ut . t ailce r as it . to move General Mirtin, as commander of the Confederate forces for the District of North Carolina. The idea ; that Gov. Vance has issued an order for this State that hereafter conscripts will be allowed to select the infantry regiments they may wish to join, is insidious ly and absurdly preposterous. Holden's orgxn i " wretchedly out of tune' on this point and must grate harshly on the Governor's ear. But it would take a dozen editors and as many newspapers to expose all the impostures of the Stan dard. It asserts that this alleged "Order of Gover nor Vance "is in strict accordance with the Conscript law itself, which provides that conscripts, shall be Tvrmirtpd tn select their own regiments." And in the z . " same issue of the Standard that of the 17th which oontaina t.hik rira nosterous assertion in answer to cer- j i i tain questions therein' propounded, the editor makes this reckless declaration : The conscript law does allow the men to choose their . .

Vance has al- forced to exercise his official authority to restrain these misguided men."' ' .-" But the Standard did not stop with this simple proA test vituperative and objectionable as it is. It elab orated thelcomplex idea that the recommendation of the President tended "to. the establishment: of a great military consolidation," and that the Confederate gov ernment had "no right to call en masse for men for the war," aud'that, "if claimed and exercised, it would be done in notation of the spirit of the Constitution and in derogakon pfthe rights of the States." To all this it superadded the idea, that submission to the Yankees was preferable to submission to he conscript' jaw, asserting, in so many words, that "the heelof a aqmesivc aespot wuuiu uc us as that Sof a foreign despot," and adding :l Vlf the people will not volunteer in sufficient num bers to carry on the "war and Jo repel invasion, let them bear the consequences.' . .To aggravate tho ) matter stih further, the Standard assuming to speak in the name of the people of North Carolina, hurls defiance ih the teeth of President Davis, in, th? follow ing questionable language : ' " ;. ' "Her (tihe State's) people are not willing that he (Prtsidoni Davis) shall press her twelve months regi ments in for the war, thus, violating her and his plighted fuith with these regiments, and then proceed to make his levies for the war On the whole body of her fiahiinq rien between eighteen and thirty-fxe." When Rational men read such language as we have quoted fiim the Standard, cin anything but distrust of our rubers and opposition to the laws be looked for from the ipeople. Predisposed, as some of our people signed tocompanies from the State from which they respectively comei .- - ' In no case are mix enrolled under the law allowed to choose their own company and regimsnt, except when specially authorized by the -War D3partnieut, and any relaxation of the law in this respect is mere ly a regruIattmbTthe Department, but one over which Gov. .Vance", has not', the slightest control. The WaVDepartmeutf desiroua-of consulting the content ment and happiness o th(aroen entering the army under this law, had determined to allow them to choose their. own companies and regiments, as far as practicable, before Governor Vance came into power. Gov. Vance has no power to issue any. "General or der" whatever, "allowing" or disallowing this privi lege ; but as Commander-in-Chief of the militia, he has the power to order the militia officers "to bring all conscripts and deserters into the camp of instruction." Gov Vance has done this, and in doing it, is cordially co-operating with' the Confederate authorities, and justly entitling himself to tho rsspect and esteem of all true men. He is weaving a chaplet for his own brow, and that of his posterity, in which truth may intertwine fresh - and. fragrant flowers ; but whose V branches will wither and droop by the foul touch of ' falsehood or sycophancy r For hiartmpartial and ef fectual enforcement of the conscript law, or for his patriotic efforts to see it. thus enforced, all truepatri ote honor and esteem', him. But, for allowing the men to choose their own companies and regiments a privilege' h'e has no power to grant he surely claims no honor. Major Mallet ; had .allowed this privilege as far as . practicable, and Gov.. Clark hid solicited and obtained an extension of the privilege before Gov. Vance came into p wer. but the bt&n iari say that "tee couscript law does,a ow the men to choose their own companies and regiments," know ing it to be false,' merely that it may fasten censure where it does not belong, and bestow praise where it is not due.

A DXC1SIVE BUT DBABLT BOUGHT YICTOXT. i ' We have received authentic particulars of the sanguinary battle at Sharpsburg, alluded to else . where, and concerning which so many painful ru mors were afloat on yesterday. We have the graiifi i cation of being able to announce that the battle' re ! suited in one of the most complete victories that has I yet immortalized the Confederate arms. The ball was opened on Tuesday evening about six o'clock, all ! of our available force, about sixty thousand strong, commanded by Gen. Robert 12. Lree in person, ana the enemy about ene hundred and fifty thousand ; strong, commanded by Gen. McClelian in person, be- ing engaged. The position of our army was upon a range of hills, forming a semi-circle, with the con ; cive towards the enemy ; the latter occupying a less commanding position opposite, their extreme right f resting upon a height commanding our extreme left. The arrangement of our line was as follows Gen. Jackson on the extreme left, Gen. Longstreet in the I centre, and Gen. A. P. Hill on the extreme right. T4u fio nrr Tuesdav eveninff wa5 kept up until 9 I o'clock at night, when it subsided into spasmodic skirmishes along the line. Wednesday morning it was renewed by Gen. Jackson, and gradually became "cneral. Both afmies maintained their respective Positions, and fought desperately throughout the en tire day. During this battle Sharpsburg was fired by the enemy's shell, and at one time the enemy ob- ', tained a position which enabled them to pour a flank- ; waver Airnis moaicuu, cu. ww, - had command of Jackson's division, galloped to the front of his brigade, and seizing the standardraUied them forward. No sooner did the gallant General thus throw himself in the van than four bullets pier ced his body, and he fell dead amidst his men. The ; effect, instead of discouraging, fired them with deter mination and revenge, and they dashed forward, drove ' the enemy back, and kept them from the position d urine the rest 01 we ay. . .
