NOTICE.
Our term? are now three doll.irr per jear. Printing ;
tnateria!? and everything else hare more than doubled I
in price, and it is proper, and nothing but air, that j
the price of newspapers should be advanced to meet
the increased rates of material, living, ic. We don t
intend to promise anything that we can't afford, and
we think it better to advance one dollar on our sub
set iptior. price than to i educe the paper in size, as
most of the papers in the South have been compelled
tu do.
tff The Democrat will be discontinued to aU rubscri
h'Ti at the expiration of the time or which i( is paid.
Those who want to continue mint renew beore or at the ex
piration of their time. The dunning business is unpleasant,
and we do not want to engage in it again. Those who are ii
arrears, and whose paper have been discontinued, w(l ob
lige us i they will pay up without putting us to further j
troublt about it.
TIMELY HINTS.
A friend has called our attention to the follow
ing hints from "Hall's Journal of Health," which
may not be out of place at the present time:
Yellow Fever Antiiote. A Portuguese
Medical Journal states, that when the Yellow
Fever prevailed at Lisbon, all those persons escap
ed who lived in houses lighted by ras.
We have t-everal times stated in these pacs,
that those who lived where fever and ague and
chills and fever prevailed, might avoid them by the
practicable expedient of kindling a brisk fire in
the family-room at daylight and at sundown
throughout the year (and eating breakfast before
going out to work) the philosophy of the fact, in
both cases, being the same, that heat, from what
ever source, rarefies the impregnated air, making
it, in the first place, less concentrated, and, therc
ivru, h-f-s malignant, besides causing it to ascend
above the breathing point, and producing those
un:lta ot air, which under all circumstances, arc
fcclf purifying. The antagonistic properties of lire
against all the fevers of this country, from the
simple chill and fever, up to the deadly "conges
tive," and the malignant "yellow," we have many
a time verified in our own person, in places where
these diseases love to revel.
We have spent a lifetime ourselves in the West
and extreme South, and know in our own person,
and as to those who had firmness to follow our re
commendation, that whole families will escape all
the foims of Kali fevers who will have bright fires
kindled at sunrise and sunset in :hc family room.
But it is too plain a prescription to secure obser
vance in rm.re than one family in ten thousand.
After the third frost, and until the Fall of the
next year, it is an important means of health for
persons to sleep with an outer door or window
partly open, having the bed in such apo.-ition, as
to be protected from a draught of air. We advise
that no person should go to walk or take exercise
in the morning on an empty stomach ; but if it is
stimulated to action by a cup of coffee, or a crust
of bread, or apple. 01 orange, exercise can be
taken, not only with impunity, but to high advan
tage in all chill and fever localities.
-
Pass tuts man Ai:oi r. We record the fact
to the high credit ut Mr. Robert Laurence, ol'thir,
vicinity, that ivhilc every body else (except one.)
that we have heard of, vl their bacon and lard at
thirty, forty and -jl' cents, jerlb., all that they
could get, he sold at :!." cents, and refused to take
any more. Wc know of but one man like him,
and that is John flunn, LVj., of this couuty.
Wo call acts like this practical patriotism, and this
is the only sort of patriotism, in times like these,
worth talking about. Now, we have heard of men
contributing money, kc, to patriotism, but what
they gave with one hand they managed to get back
with the other, with compound interest, by selling
things at exorbitant and cxtoi tionarv ri. es.

NEW MILITARY OR THE CONSCRIPTION
LAW. . v
To this law of Congress as at first published by
us, there were subsequently passed several amend
ments or auxiliary laws. We present the follow
ing synopsis of the law as thua modified, which we
are satisfied will be found correct, in the hope and
belief that it 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 end.-, all white men between eighteen and
thirty-five years of age, resident in the Confederate
States, and not legally exempt from service.
The law is silent as to exemptions; but an act
defining the class of exempts has been passed,
which embraces generally those hitherto exempt,
with some additions.
All twelve months' men, between the prescribed
ages, are 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
over thirty-five, are to be retained for ninety days
after their term expires, unless their places are
sooner supplied by recruits.
The twelve months' men, between eighteen and
thirty-five, who are retained beyond their term of
enlistment, and who have not yet received bounty
and furlough, shall receive both; the furloughs,
bowiver, 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 furioughed men by the act.
The term of service of those who originally en
listed for the war, or who have since re-enliated for
that period, is not affected by the law.
Men now in service are not permitted to re-enlist
in other organizations than thoso to which they
now belong; and all re-enlistments that have been
made from one existing company to another, or into
a new company, where the re-enlistment has not
been perfected by actual transfer, is in effect can
celled. Companies, battalions and 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
Bridgade, 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 ifhe act, have the
whole number of men i.ecessary 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, and 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 shall bo appointed by the Presi
dent. Persons not now in service, who shall bo enrolled,
shall be assigned b' the Secretary of War to the
different companies of the State from which such
persons are drawn; until each company is filled to
its maximum number.
Seamen and ordinary seamen, enrolled under the
act. may. on application of the Secretary of the
Navy, be transferred to the naval service,
If, after filling up the companies, regiments, bat
talions and squadrons from any State, there shall
remain any of the enrolled men, the excess shall be
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 homo until called into service,
and receive no pay until actually mustered in.
They are not. while at home in reserve, subject
to the rules and articles of war, except that if they
wilful' refuse to obey a call of the President they
shall bo 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
be necessary, and they shall bo 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.
Everyman mustered into service, who shall bring
with him a musket, shot guu, rifle or carbine ac
cepted as an etbeient 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.
Vacancfes 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 any officer of the 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 the 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, ma', before being enrolled, volunteer with
existing companies now in service.

February 18, 1862 y
By the Governor of North Carolina
A PRO C f j A TI ATI ON.
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 in 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 ever- means 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 upon 3-ou to rally
to their defence, and to sustain the noble and sacred
cause in which we are engaged.
North Carolina has always pioved true, constant and
brave in the hour of trial and of danger. Never let it
lie 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 '.emporary reverses dampened the arder of
your ancestors, even though the enemy marched
in columuf through the State. The fires of liberty
still bum;d brightly in their breasts. They
were moveu 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 and
acknowledged. Let us imitate their glorious example.
The enemy is redoublinghis efforts, and straining every
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 our example.
1 call upon the brave and patriotic men of our State
to volunteer, from the mountains to the sea. You are
wanted to fill up our quota in the Confederate Arnij-,
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 issue the necessary
orders for this purpose.
Fellow-Citizens! Yeur first allegiance is due to
North-Carolina. Rally to her banners. Let every man
do his duty, and our country will be safe.
Given under my hand and the seal of the State, at
Raleigh, this 22-1 . of February, one thousand eight
