WESTERN DEMOCEAT, CHAELOTTE, 3ST. O. A SHAEP-SHOOTBH SHARPLY SHOT. THE NEW MILITAB1- OR CONSCRIPTION , , - - j LAW. A gentleman informs us of the death of one of, Con flS flt firgt bl;?hf.d bv McClellau's sharp-shooters on the J tniusula un- j thcrewcrc subsequently pawd several amend ler circumstances which possess interest sufficient . oosi.-ary riiws. We present the follow- to give them to the public. Several of our men, . svnopSis Gf the law as thus modified, which we it seems, while- goin to a f-pru g Lear by, were ai. aiiHt d will be found correct, in the hone and frequently and very iny.-teiiously shot, but by belie f that it will prove useful iu contributing to a whom no one could imagine. It was at last do- general understanding of it : te.rmined to stop this inhuman game, if possible, : The conscription law places in the service of the even at the cost of killing the hireling himself, who was thus, in cold blood, butchering our men. Fo a sharp look out was kept for this sharp-shooter, and the next time he fired, the smoke of his rifle revealed the locality of his pit. That night a pit was dug by the Confederate soldiers, commanding the position of the Yankee sharp-shooter, and arrangements made to get rid of the annoying creature. For this purpose a youn Ktntuckiaii was placed in our pit, with a trusty rifle, and pro- visions enough to last him until the next night, Next morning very early, a man was despatched as usual, with two buckets, to go to the spring. He had proceeded about one or two hundred yards, when the Yankee marksman elevated him self, and placing his rifle to his shoulder, wa.-i About to pull trigger, but the Kentitckinn was too quick for him, lor h.2 pulled his trigger fir?t, :uid simultaneously therev. i;h the Yankee fell.

M'CULLOCH. j We take from the Austin, Texa-1, (J.tzetto, of the 12th, the following notice of the obeijuits of Gen. McCulh ch: The remains of (Jen. cn McCulluch, the hero of Oak Hills, the pride and bo:ist of the army of the West, were on Thursday, with the Usual pomp and ceremony attending such occasions, laid by tne side of Jameson, Hemphill and McLeod. The body lay iu state in the Representative Hall from 4 p. in. on Wednesday until 1 p m. on Thursday last. At 11 o'clock, after prayer from 3cv Mr Phillips and JJishop Gregg, Capf. John Henry Jrorn, who acted as Aid to Gen.

Gov. Lubbock, in his own inimilabc and haj p- way, responded to the remarks of Gen. II. MeCuIIoch. It is impossible for us now to give a synopsis of what he said. He stirred the hearts of t! e audience to tl eir pio f'oundest depths and awakened or aroused a Iccl ing of intense patriotic enthusiasm wc have never seen excelled, which filled the lo.'ty chamber with deafening shouts of the thousands assembled, Eufiicittnt, if aught on earth were so, to quicken again to life the slumbering hero, who, wrapped in the banner of his country, lay in btatc iu their midst. U The concourse that attended the body to the grave was the largest ever assembled in the State, the procession being more than a mile long. THE CHOICE OfXpROFESSION.

A j sober, frugal person, of slender parts and a slow' apprehension, might have thrived in trade, though j lie starves upon physic; as a man would be well enough pleased to buy silks of one whom he i would not venture to feel his u!sc or protect his legal rights. I The misfortune is, that parents take a liking to 1 a particular profession, and therefore dcMte their pons may be of it ; whereas, in so great ay affair of life, they should consider the genius and abilities oT their children more than their own inclinations. , It is the great advantage ed'a nation, that there are very few iu it so dull and heavy, who may Ilut bo placed in stations e f life which may give them an opportunity of making their fortunes. A well regulated commerce is not, like law, physic or eli vinity, to be overstocked with hands ; it flourishes 'by multitudes and gives employment to all its professors. .le it,u .

February 5, 1SG1 By (he Governor of North Carolina. A PROCLAMATION. NORTH C.UiOLINIANS ! your country needs your aid for its protection and defence against an invading foe. The President of the Confederate Spates has made a requisition upon our St:t to complete her quota of troops in the Held. Our own borders are invaded by the enemy in force, no w- tin etenting an advance to.de prive us of liberty, property, and all that we hold dear as a self-governing andfree people. We must resist him at all hazards and by every means in our power. He wages war for our subjugation a war forced upon us in wrong and prosecuted without right a.id in a spirit of vengeful wickedness without a parallel in the his tory of warfare simong civilized nations. As you value your rights of self-government; all the blessings of freeilom; the hallowed endearments of home and fireside, of family and kindred, I call upon 3 011 to rallj to their defence, and to sustain the noble aud sacred cause in whicli we are engageti. North Carolina has always proved true, constant and brave in the hour of trial and of danger. Never let it be said in the future that she has failed to maintain this high renown. If we are threatened now more than heretofore, and upon our own soil, let our exertions be equal to every demand on our. patriotism, honor, and glory. No temporary reverses dampened the arder of your ancestors, even though the enemy marched in columns through the Slate. The fires of liberty still burned brightly in their breasts. They were moved in new energy, and resisted by gal lant deeds, with abiding hope and unflinching courage and perseverance, bravely contending with enemies at home as well the foreign foe, until, after a struggle of seven long years, our Iudepenelence was achieved and acknowledged. . Let us imitate their glorious example. The enemy is rcdoublii.ghis efforts, ami straining ever nerve to overrun our country and subjugate n to his domination his avarice and ambition. Already it is proposed in their Congress to establish a territorial government in a portion of our State. N0.1v is the time to prove our zeal and animate by our example. I call upon the brave and patriotic mii of our Stfete to volunteer, frenn the mountains to t.he sea. You are wantud to fill up our quota iu the Confederate Army, and for the special defence of lhe,.tstate. I rely, with entire confidence, for a prompt s'ml cheerful response to this call upon jour patriotism and valor. Tender yourselves in companies and ivi squads under officers of your own selection. You be at once accepted and organized into regiments under the laws that are or may be made, and which it is my duty to execute.
