MATRIMONY.
The man must lead a happy life .
Who's free from matrimonial chains,
Who is directed by a wife,
Is sure to suffer for his pains. .
Adam could find no solW peace,
When Eve was piven for a mate,
Until he saw a woman's face,
Adam was in a happy state.
In all the female face appear
Hypocrisy, decoit and pride :
True darling of a heart sincere,
Ne'er known in woman to reside.
What iongue is able to unfold,
The falsehoods that in woman dwell;
The worth in woman we behold,
Is almost imperceptible.

REGULATIONS
For carrying into operation tlte late Conscript
Law.
The War Department at Richmond has pub
lished the following regulations for putting into
operation the Conscript Laws:
Commandants of Conscripts and Camps of In
struction. 1. An Officer, styled the Commandant of Con
scripts, will be appointed for each State, who will
be charged with the supervision of the enrollment
and disposition of conscripts. Ilewill establish
one or more camps, in which conscripts will" be
assembled and instructed, and may recommend
for appointment a Surgeon, a Quartermaster, a
Commiss-ary, and the requisite number of 'Drill
masters for each camp. If more than one camp
be established, he may also recommend a Com
mandant for each camp not under his own imme
diate command.
2. A hospital will be established and huts for
winter quarters constructed at each camp, and all
Ml I ii
conscripts assembled at tlie camps win De. promptly
vaccinated, if it has not already been done.
3. The Commandant of Conscripts will require
from each camp a report on the first Monday in
every month, showing the expenses of the pre
ceding month; the number of conscripts in the
camp; the number received and sent away during
the preceding month; the regiments, battalions or
companies to which they were sent; the number
transferred to the navy; the number of sick; the
nature of -their diseases, and the number of
deaths. lie will make a consolidated monthly re
port to the Adjutant aud Inspector-General of the
army.
4. The Commandants of Conscripts east of the
Mississippi river will receive orders only from the
War Department, and will not be interfered with
by Generals commanding departments or armies
in the field. West of the Mississippi, they will
report to and receive instructions from the Com
manding General of the Trans-Mississippi depart
ment, who will require them to couform as nearly
as possible to this order, and to the regulations
prescribed for commandants east of the Missis
sippi, lie will make a consolidated monthly re
port to the Adjutant and Inspector General of the
arm.
5. The commandants of all regiments, bat
talions, squadrons or unattached companies which
were in service on the lGth of April,' 1SG2, desir
ing to receive conscripts, may transmit through the
Adjutant and Inspector General of the army,
statements of the strength of their commands, to
the Commandant of Conscripts in their respective
States, who unless otherwise ordered, will, as far
as practicable, distribute the conscripts of the
State among its regiments, battalions and com
panies thereof, in proportion to their respective
deficiencies.
He will consult the wishes of the conscripts in
assigning them to companies or regiments, so far
as may be consistent with their proper distribu
tion, and will not separate men from the same
county, district or parish, if it can be avoided.
The same rule will be observed by the Com
mandants of corps in assigning conscripts to com
panies. G. Conscripts for cavalry will only be taken
from those who furnish their own horses. .No
conscripts can be assigned to companies mustered
into service since the lGth of April, 18G2.
7. The commandants of Conscripts are spe
cially enjoined to pay unceasing attention to the
health, comfort and instruction of the conscripts
under their command, and to bear in mind that
the efficiency of the army and the safety of the
country depend in a great measure upou their
faithful discharge of these duties.
Enrollment of Conscripts.
All white male residents of the Confederate
States between the ages of IS and 40 not ex
empted by act of Congress, or not already in the
service, will be enrolled. Persons liable to en
rollment may be enrolled wherever they may be
found, as provided by the Act No. 42, herewith
published.
Undomicilcd foreigners.
1. Foreigners not domiciled in the Confederate
States are not liable to enrollment. Domicil in'
the Confederate States consists in residence with
intention permanently to remain in those Stages,
and to abandon domicil elsewhere. Long resi
dence of itself does not constitute domicil. A
person may acquire domicil in less than one year,
and he may not acquire it in twenty years' resi
dence. If there is a determination to return to
the native country and to retain the domicil there,
no length of residence can confer domicil.
The principal evidences of intention to remain
are the declarations of the party, the exercise of
the rights of citizenship, marriage and the ac
quisition of real estate; but the intention may be
gathered from other facts.
2. The enrollment will be made by the enroll
ing officers of the State, if the Governor thereof
will permit them to act under the orders of the
Commandants of Conscripts, and application will
be made by the said commandants for such per
mission. If it be declined, the Commandant will
report the fact to the Adjutant and Inspector
General, and ask for the employment of Confed
erate officers for the purpose of making enroll
ments. If the Governor consent, but the enroll
ing officers of the State be found unable or un
willing to discharge their duty efficiently, the like
application will be tua.de to the Adjutant and
Inspector General; and in such event, a com
missioned officer or private fur each county, city,
town, district or parish, will be assigned to such
duty.
In making such assignment, officers and men
disabled by wounds from active duty in the field,
and acquainted in the localities in which they are
required to serve', w.ll, as far as practicable, be
selected. The commissioned officer in each di
trict will superintend the enrollments and col
lection of conscripts therein. Non-commissioned
officers and privates, while so employed, will he
aiiowca pay as extra uu;y uieu. i-- t......
I he enrolling
officers of the States, if employed, will be paid (
the compensation allowed by the State laws for

16th of April, 1SG2, may be made by officers, de- selves, but in the employment of some company
tailed for the tmrrjose by the Commanding Gen-
era! of a department or an armv in the field: but
sfch officers must report to the Commandant of
V(jpript8 in their respective States, receive in-
. 4 ;
sfnrctions from him, and assemble their conscripts
at such point as he may designate. Conscripts
enrolled without reporting to such commandant
will be deemed to be enrolled for general s'ervice,
ond shall at any time be transferred on their own
application, or on the application of commandants
of corps needing conscripts, to such corps.
Exemptions.
The Exemption Act will be construed pros
pectively, and does not authorize the discharge of
any one enrolled -or in service prior to the 11th
day of October, 18G2.
Bod Hi and 3fen tal In firm ily.
1. Questions of bodily or mental incapacity will
be decided by Surgeons employed for the purpose,
by virtue of the act of. Congress approved the
11th of October, 1SG2.
Three Surgeons in each Congressional District
will be recommended by the Commandants of
Conscripts to the Adjutant and Inspector General
for employment, under the foregoing act, and the
said Commandants will establish in each county,
city, parish or district, a place of rendezvous
for the examination of conscripts enrolled therein.
2. The three Surgeons employed in each Con
gressional District will constitute a Hoard of Ex
amination for the Distsict; and one or more of
them may act at any place of rendezvous therein.
They shall fix days for the examination of oon
scripts in each county, city, parish or district, and
give at least ten das' notice thereof, by publica
tion in one or more newspapers circulating in the
Congressional District, and by notice posted at the
principal places of public resort.
3. The enrolling officer for the county, city,
parish or district, shall attend at such examina
tions, and em oil and seud to the camp of instruc
tion such persons as are examined and found by
the Surgeon to be capable of bearing arms. The
standard of bodily capacity shall be that establish
ed by General Order No. 58, modified by the
omission of the 3d paragraph, which authorized
the enrollment of persons not equal to all military
duty. No person will be enrolled as a conscript
who is not capable of bearing arms.
4. Persons deemed incarjable of bearing arms
shall be reported by the examining Surgeon to
the Board of Examination, who shall determine
the questions of exemption, and grant certificates
thereof. The certificates shall specify whether
the incapacity is temporary or permanent; and if
permanent, the party shall be exempt from future
examination, unless specially ordered by the board.
So soon as the Examining .Board shall be organ
ized in any Congressional District, and shall enter
upon the discharge of their duties, no other mode
of examination for persons in that district will be
pursued; and the decision of the Examining
Board will be deemed final.
5. The fact that persons have been discharged
from service for physical disability or other cause,
does not of itself exempt from enrollment as a
conscript.
6. If any enrolled person is unable to attend at
the rendezvous on account of sickness, he will
send to the Examining Surgeon a certificate speci
fying the cause of absence, and its probable dura
tion, from some respectable physician residing in
the county, city, parish or district in which the
rendezvous is situated. The Examining Surgeon
shall send the certificate to the Commandant of
the nearest Camp of Instruction; and if the person
mentioned therein shall not report himself for exT
animation at the said camp within a reasonable
period, or send to the Commandant of the Camp
a renewal of the certificate, showing his continued
disability, he shall be deemed absent without
leaj, r
' '7. A compensation of 84 per dietn, while actu
ally employed-ill be allowed to each of tte Ex
amining Surgeons, and will be paid on ther certi
fied account by the Quartermaster of the nearest
Camp of Instruction.
Friends, Dtivkards, Kazarencs and Mcnnonitcs.
All persons of the above denominations, in reg
ular membership therein on the 11th day of Oc
tober, 1862, shall be exempt from enrollment, on
furnishing a substitute, or on 'presenting to the
enrolling officer a receipt from a bonded Quarter
master for the tax of five hundred dollars imposed
by Act of Congress, and an affidavit by the Dish
op, Presiding Elder, or other officer whose duty it
is to preserve the records of membership in the
denomination to which the paity belongs, setting
forth distinctly the fact that the party on the 1 1th
day of October, 1SG2, was in regular membership
with such denomination. The affidavit must be
taken and sworn to by a Justice of the Peace, or
other .officer appointed by the law of his State to
administer oaths: and his
authority to aumiiii-ier
oaths must be certined by the Llerk ot a cuari 01

made, to be delivered by the Colonel of the regi
ment to the Quartermaster in llalcigh, to be for
warded by him to the proper regiment or com
pany. 2. Besides this, the people of one or mora
Captain's Districts, if their donations arc suffi
ciently large to justify it, may select a gentleman
whom they may prefer to carry on their donations
to the regiment or company, and the State will
furnish the transportation aud pay the necessary
expenses of the agcut.
3. All articles donated should be carefully put
up in packages, bags, boxes or barrels, and they
should be legibly directed to the soldier or com
pany for whom they are intended, naming the
company and regiment, and if possible tho Brigade.
4. Persons who wish to cnd articles to any
soldier or company, but who do not find it con
venient to deliver it to the Captain of their Dis

as above, may deliver it to the nearest Railroad
Agent, directed to the care of Capt. J. F. Garrett,
Quartermaster at Kaleigh,
