A Good Hit. While the Yankees were quar tered in Hanover there was a repartee made to one of their officers by a member of my church, which is too good to be lost. The person was a lino old mother in Israel, full of good sense, and abounding in Biblical knowledge. The Yankees had been troubling her a good deal, stealing her corn, potatoes, and shooting her hens, until she was very much exasperated. One evening a very gay looking officer was swaggering about the yard, cursing and swearing, insulting the family, and making great boasts about taking Richmond and cursing the rebels. The old lady took it very coolly, replying to him with Grnuicss but polite ness. At last, thinking to destroy all her hopes of her success, he said : "Why, madam, we have seen Richmond. From our balloon we can see the very streets." "Yes," replied the old lady, very coolly, "and Moses climbed Mt. Pisgah, and ?aw the promised land, but he never got there." It is needless to add that the Federal vented his wrath in oaths loud and deep, and then disappeared rather chagrined by the scriptural allusion. Exchange pajwr. Hoop-fOLK Rl TLK.it. The Jackson Missis sippian has the following story about Rutlcr, "the Roast." It says it has it from a gentleman well informed of the General's antecedents. It says : The eyes of this monster are so arranged that one looks up and the other down, so that when you arc standing before him you find one of his eyes directed to the toes of your shoes and the other to the top of your hat. A Yankee standing before him one day and noticing this extraordinary range of vision, exclaimed, "You'd beat us all get tin hoop-poles ; you would !" "why so ?" said the General. "Recausc to get 'em straight, we have to look from the top to the bottom, and then from the bottom up to the top but you can sight 'cm at one spy." The bystanders at once dubbed him "Hoop-pole Butler' This is doubtless the only public incident of Butler's life, which does not ex" cite horror or disgust. The joke bus the true Yankee car marks. The habit of making je9ts of personal deformity is almost universal in that man ly race. Ordinance or the Convention. We shall print ia pamphlet form, on line look paper, about "00 copies of the Ordinances and Resolutions passed by the State Convention at its several sessions, and solicit orders for the same. The Convention only authorized the printing of 500 copies, and as t lie dis tribution of tli.it number isproidcd for by an ordi nance passed by that body, it is quite likely that copies of these ordinances will be ditlicult to obtain. For this reason, wc have concluded to print the above mentioned number of extra copies for sale. Price SI 23 per copy, or when sent by mail, postage paid, Jf I 50 per copy. Those wishing copies would do well to order theia at once, ns the extra number for sale is cjuite limited. We will also print 500 extra copies of the JOURNALS OF TI1K CON YKNTION, Provided we receive a sufficient number of orders to justify our doing so. Wc do not know at what price wc may be able to sell the Journals, hut those wishing copies caa not:fv us so that we may be able to decide what extra number to print. JNO. W. SYMK, Ralaigh, N. C.

To this law of Congress a at first published 'by i . vwi ... 1 cuVtbAniiAikflir ri'itfdAil uAVPrfll ALII 4 nd- road, in j me'ntj or axniary laws. We present the follow ' vnrnsi of the law as thus modified, which we satisfied will bo found correct, in the hope and belief that 41 will prove useful in -contributing to a general understanding of it : The conscription law places in the service of the Confederate States, for three years, unless the war sooner ends, an wime men iwiween eigiue-.. a..u thirty five 3'cars of age, resident in the Confederate States, and not loyally exempt from service. The law is silent as to exemptions; b'tt an act defining the class of exempts has been passed, which 'embraces generally those hitherto exempt, with some additions. AH twelve months' men, between the prescribed nres. aro continued in service for two years from ' the expiration of their present term, should the war ' continue so long; and all those under eighteen and I over thirty-five, are to be retained for ninety days ntfr TTU'ir in 111 fAi'iirs, uiut'sa iiiru uaa -... ..1 u L :t. sooner siippneu uy miuus, Tho twelve months' men, between eighteen and thirty five, who are retained beyond their term of enlistment, and who havo not yet received bounty and furlough, shall receive both; the furloughs, however, to be granted in such numbers and at such times as the Secretary of War may deem most compatible with the public interest; and the men may receive in lieu of furlough, the commuta tion value in money of the transportation granted to furloughed men by the act. The term of service of those who originally en listed for the war, or who havo since re-enlisted for that period, is not afl'ected by the law. Men now in service aro not permitted to re-enlist in other organizations than those to which they now belong; and all re-enlistments that havo been made from one existing company to another, or into a new company, where the re-enlistment has not been perfected by nctual transfer, is in effect can celled. Companies, battalions nnd regiments of twelve months men, retained in service by the act, shall be entitled, within forty days from the date of the net, on a day to be fixed by the Commander of the Hridgnde, to re-organize, by electing all their of ficers whom they had a. right heretofore to elect. Companies, battalions, squadrons, or regiments organized, or in process of organization, by au thority from the Secretary of War, which may, with in thirty days from the passage of the net, have the whole number of men necessary to complete their organization actually enrolled, not including, how ever, in that number persons now in service, shall be mustered into the service of the Confederate States, and be received in that arm of the service in which they were authorized to organize, nnd elect their company, battalion and regimental officers. To enroll the persons contemplated by the act, and not now in service, the President may, with the consent of the Governors of the States, employ State officers; if such consent cannot be obtained, Con federate officers thall bo appoiutod by tho Presi dent. Persons not now in service, who shall bo enrolled, shall be assigned by the Secretary of War to the different companies of the State from whirh such persons are drawn; until each company is tilled to its maximum number. Seamen and ordinary seamen, enrolled under the net, may, on application of the Secretary of the Xnvy, be transferred to the naval service. If, after filling up the companies, regiments, bat talions and squadrons from any State, there shall remain nny of the enrolled men, the excess shall bo kept as a reserve, and at stated intervals, not ex ceeding three months, details, to be made by lot. shall be drawn from the reserve to keep the com panies as nearly full as practicable. The persons so reserved remain at home until called info service, and receive no pay until actually mustered in. They are not, while at home in reserve, subject to the rules und articles of war, except that if they wilfully refuse to obey a call of the President they shall be held as deserters, and punished as such. Whenever the President shall think that the exigencies of the service require it, he may call into active service the entire reserve, or so much as may bo necessary, and they shall be organized under such rules as the Secretary of War may adopt, and shall elect their field and company officers. The reserves from each State, when thus called out, shall be organized separately. Every man mustered into service, who shall bring with him a musket, shot gun, rifle or carbine ac cepted as an efficient weapon, shall receive the value of it as ascertained by the mustering officer under such regulations as the Secretary of War may prescribe, or if the owner be ui. willing to sell, he shall receive one dollar a month for the use of such arm. Persons not liable to duty may be received as substitutes, under such regulations as the Secretary of War may prescribe. Vacancies shall be filled by the President from the company, battalion, squadron or regiment in which such vacancies occur, by promotion accord ing to seniority, except in case of disability or other incompetency. The President may, however, fill a vacancy by promoting uny officer of tho company, battalion. squadron, or regiment, who may have been dis tinguished in the service by valor and skill, without reference to seniority. Vacancies in the lowest grade of commissioned officers of a Company shall be filled by election or tho President may promote to such vacancy non-commissioned officers or privates, who have distinguished themselves by skill and valor in the service. Persons not now in service, may, before being enrolled, volunteer with existing companies now in service. EXEMPTIONS I inter the Cvuscrjitton Law 0 Congress. A bill entitled "An act to exempt certain persons from enrolment for service in the armies of the Confederate States." Section 1. The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact. That all persons who shall be held to bo unfit for military service under rules to be prescribed by the Secretary of War: all in the service or employ of the Confedeiate States; all judicial and executive officers of Confederate or State Governments; the members of both houses of Congress, and of the legislatures of tho several States and their respective officers; all clerks of the officers of the State and Confederate Govern ments allowed by law; all engaged in carrying the mails; all ferrymen on post routes; all pilots' and persons engaged in the marine service, and in actual service on river and railroad routes of trans portation; all telegraphic operatives; all ministers of religion, in the regular discharge of ministerial duties; all engaged 111 working iron mines, furnaces and foundries; all journeymen printers actually em ployed in printing newspapers; all presidents and professors of colleges and academies, and all teach ers having as many as twenty scholars; superinten dents of the public hospitals, lunatic asylums, and the regular nurses and attendants therein, and the teachers employed in the institutions for tho deaf and dumb and blind: in each apothecary store now established one anothecarv in irood standino-. vim j is a practical druggist; superintendents and opera- ne " wooi snu oilier lactones, wlio may be ex empted by the Secretary of War, shall be, and are hereby, exempted from military service in the armies of the Confederate States.

CALDWELL. February 18, 1862 By the Governor of North Carolina. A PROCLAMATION'. NORTH CAROLINIANS! your country needs your aid for its protection and defence against an invading foe. The President of the Confederate States has made a requisition upon our State to complete her quota of troops iu the field. Our own borders are invaded by the enemy in force, now thretenting an advance to de prive us of liberty, property, and all that we hold dear as a self-governing and free people. We must resist him at all hazards and by every meaus in our power. He wages war for our subjugation a war forced upon us in wrong and prosecuted without right and in a spirit of vengeful wickedness without a parallel in the his tory of warfare among civilized nations. As you value your rights of self-government; all the blessings of freedom; the hallowed endearments of home and fireside, of family and kindred, I call uponyou to rally to their defence, and to sustain the noble and sacred cause in which we are engaged. 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 colnmns through the State. 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 Independence was achieved nnd acknowledged. Let us imitate their glorious example. 'The enemy is redoublinghis efforts, and straining ever nerve to overrun our country and subjugate us 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. Now is the time to prove our zeal and animate by onr example. I call upon the brave and patriotic men of our State to volunteer, from the mountains to the sea. You are wanUd to fill up our quota in the Confederate Army, and for the special defence of the State. I rely, with entire confidence, for a prompt and cheerful response to this call upon your patriotism and valor. Tender yourselves in companies and in squads under officers of your own selection. You will 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. The Adjutant General of the State will is3uc the necessary orders for this purpose. Fellow-Citizens! Yeur first allegiance i3 due to North-Carolina. Rally to her banners. Let every man do his djity, and our country will be safe. Given under my hand and the seal of the State, at Raleigh, this 221 of February, one thousand eight hundred aim sixty-two. HENRY T. CLARK.
