Kjnston, Feb. 24th, 1863. 1 had an interview this morning with a reliable gentleman who came out from Beaufort a few days ago. He informed me, that quite an excitement came off in that town on one day last week, caused by the abolitionists attempting to press three seamen, (citizens of that place,) into the federal naval ser vice as pilots for the coast of South Carolina and Georgia, and especially for Charleston bar. The pilots peremptorily refused to serve under any consideration whatever, telling the Yankees that they much preferred death to aiding in lead ing the enemy's fleet against thir land and kin dred. After a considerable rumpass on the part of the loyal portion of the inhabitants of the town, both male and female, the pilots were released by the enemy. The entire fleet has left the port of Beaufort and goue South, with the exception of twelve gunboats nnd transports, that remain as sentinels in the harbor, lest the Confederates should pounce down upon them unawares. Not more than five hundred federal soldiers are in and around Beaufort at this time, including about two hundred buffaloes and a few that are under arms. negroes Gov. Stanly, as he is called, w.as burned in effigy by the buffaloes and negroes one day last week, for opposing the enlistment of negro soldiers into the service. Lincoln has refused to accept Stanley's resigna tion and has ordered him back to Newbern, but I learn that he refuses to comply with his master's orders for the present. A Lady who came out from Newbern, a few days ago, reports about fifteen Regiments at that post. This seems to he the most reliable information we have received from inside the enemy's lines for several days past. Cor. of Raleigh Journal. From Below. We saw gentlemen yesterday evening who left Swift Creek, Craven County, at noon the day before. They report all as quiet about Newbern, and express the impression that the force is very small. We are glad to hear that the gallant Capt. Whitford has raised a battalion by authority of Gov. Vance, and that it will soon be organized and in the field. This battalion has been raised en tirely by volunteering i n the counties East of the Wilmington and Weldon Road. Whitford has done good service with his company, and when he gets his battalion in the field he will be heard from. Raleigh Progrent. Deaths from Vaccination. Jost distress ing consequences have arisen from recent vacci nations in Eldorado, Arkansas. The virus was brought from Richmond, with which in the first instance but one person was vaccinated. No bad result followed in this case, but the scab was se cured, and with it several families were vaccinated, and at once the most alarming symptoms arose. The arms became swollen, turned black and gan grene ensued. The Louisiana Baptist learns that three gentlemen of Eldorado had died from the effects of this vaccination, and no hope was enter tained of many others. The scab is said to have been taken from the arm of a healthy subject, and the physicians were unable to explain the mysteri ous problem presented and the strange yet distress ing effects that ensued. : Small Pox Contagion. The enquiry rs fre- queirtly made to ascertain what is the best method to' dense bedding and rooms which have been used bv sn,al1 Pox patients. From the best information we can gather, a bed and all woolen covering con- ueeted therewith, which has been used by a small pox patient, should be burned: that the pillow slips ; sheets, and other cotton or linen clothes used for j bedding purposes to which the small pox poison ! adheres,- should be thoroughly boiled in strong lye two or three tituejj. The bedstead should be taken t down, placed in the open air, and well scalded ; every sixty da)s for six months. The room should not be used for sleeping or eating purposes for three months after the removal of the small pox patient, and every article of furniture taken there from should be well scalded and kept, as circuni ... , . . nces will admit, iu the open air. It a carpet be uPn tne flu0r tho room thus occupied, it should be hurned; the floor itself should be repeatedly scalded and scrubbed, and well limed for ten davs ai a lime- f the room be veiled, it should receive ar leaal lu,ee ccats ot PaintJ lt a plastered room it snouiu receive at least three white washings. All clothing worn by small pox patients should be burned. If the foregoing precautionary measures are usd, we are confident there will be a trrt.

Strong resolutions were adopted denounc ing the usurpations of the General Government, the militia bill, national currency bill, emancipa tion proclamation, suspension ofhaleas corpus, abridgement' of the freedom of speech and press; it condemns the emancipation scheme, the dismem berment of the State of Virginia, and pledging the Western States to unite with them in measures for a cessation of hostilities and restoration of the Union. The Yankee Senate passed an act for the enroll ment and mustering 'into service of all able bodied men between the ages of 20 and 45 years, except ing Governors of States, Judges, the sons of poor widows, and a few others, giving a grand military force of three millicns. The officers to be appoint ed by and directly accountable to the President. AH are to be enrolled, and men are to be called for by draft in such numbers and assigned to duty in such manner as the . President pleases. Heavy penalties are imposed for resistance or counselling resistance to the draft. A BRIGHT EXAMPLE FOR SOUTH ERN PATRIOTS. The following account of what patriots have en dured patiently while fighting for their homes and liberties, is taken from the "History of the Dutch Republic : -; The city of Harlem was one of the largest and most beautiful in the Netherlands, lt was also one of the weakest. The walls were of antique construction, turreted, but not strong. The ex tent and feebleness of the defences made a large garrison necessary, but unfortunately the garrison was even weaker than the walls; it numbered only about one thousand pioneers, or delvers, three thousand fighting men, and about three hundred fighting women. The last was a most efficient corps all females of respectable character, armed with sword, musket and dagger. The chief, Kanau Hasselear, was a widow of distinguished family and unblemished reputation, about forty seven years of age, who, at the head of her Ama zons, participated in many of the most fiercely contested actions of the age. When such a spirit animated the niaida and matrons of the city, it might be expected that the men would hardly surrender the place without a struggle. After three, days' cannonade, Don Frederic, the leader of the Spanish invaders, ordered an assault, but wet with a resistance that astonished the Spaniards. The church bells rang the alarm throughout the city, and the whole population swarmed to the walls. The beseigers were en countered not only with .sword and musket, but with every implement the which burghers' hands could find. Heavy stones, boiling oil, live coals, were hurled upon the heads of tho soldiers; hoops smeared with pitch and set on fire, were dexter pitsly thrown upon their necks. Even Spanish courage and Spanish ferocity were obliged to shrink before the steady determination of a whole population animated by a single spirit. Many of ficers were killed and wounded, and 3 or 400 sol diers left dead in the breach, while only three or four of the townsmen lost their lives. The signal of recall was reluctantly given and the Spaniards abandoned the assault. It was now obvious to Don Frederic that a seige must precede the mas sacre. He gave orders, therefore, that the ravelin should be undermined. After two or three days' cannonade, Don Frede ric ordered a midnight assault. A tremendous onset was made on the gate of the cross, and the ravelin was carried and lost. The Spaniards pour ed into this fort expecting instantly to sweep into the city witfy sword and fire. As they mounted its walls they became for the first time aware of the new and strong fortification which had been secretly constructed on the inner side. A half moon rose before them bristling with cannon. A sharp fire was instantly opened upon the besiegers, while at the same instant the ravelin, which the citizens had undermined, blew up, carrying into the air all the soldiers who had just entered it so triumphantly. This was the turning point. The retreat was sounded, and the Spaniards fled to their camp, leaving at least three hundred dead beneath the walls. Thus was a second assault, made by an overwhelming force, and led by the most accomplished generals of Spain, signally and gloriously repelled by the plain burghers of Har lem. The whole population had long been subsisting upon an allowance of a pound of bread to each man, and half a pound of bread to each woman. But the bread had now exhausted; the famine had already begun. Through the month of June, the sufferings of the inhabitants increased hourly. Ordinary food had long since vanished. The pop ulation now subsisted on linseed and rape seed. As these supplies were exhausted, they devoured cats, dogs, rats and mice, and when at last these urrcleananimals hacj. been al! consumed, thry boil ed the hides of horses and oxen; they ate shoe leather; they plucked(th'e nettles and grass from the grave yards, and the weeds that grew between the stones of the payment. Wen, women, and children fell dead in the streets, perishing of pure starvation, and the sur vivors had hardly the strength to bury them out of their sight; and yet, still they refused to surren der. A Good Measure. A bill has recently been introduced into the Confederate Congress, which provides that ,every man, irrespective of age or physical condition, who refuses to take Con federate money for produce or other property which he has to sell, be immediately eonscribed and placed in the army. This is a good measure as far as it goes. In our judgment it would have been better if it had proposed to inflict a like pun ishment upon all who, having a supply of pro visions beyond their own requirements, refuse to sell at all. The Government has provided for getting its own supplies, by a law which forces it from the producer, whether he is willing to sell or not; but no provision of this sort is made for the families of its soldiers and the non-producers "generally, who are in danger of suffering in the midst of comparative abundance. Lancaster Ledger. Important Decision" Judge Meredith of the Richmond Circuit Court has decided in the habeas corpus case, that every citizen of Maryland and every foreigner who had once enlisted in our army no matterfor how short a time, had acquired domicil, and therefore liable to conscription, if be tween the ages of 18 and 45. ' TO TH-' FRIENDS OF EDUCATION. - We publish below, a circular addressed to the teachers and '"' friends of education throughout the Confederate States, by the State. Educational Association of North Carolina, b.oping,that each one who may see it, will consider it as sent especially to himself, and that all who can, will be present at the proposed meeting. All newspapers in the Confederacy that are disposed to aid in advancing this great cause, are requested to publish this circular, and call attention to its object- Raleioii, North Carolina, 1 January 12th, 1863.

M. The importance of this movement will be readily appreciated by every friend of our beloved country; and we feel sure that no class of persons cau be more useful in achieving, under God, the indepen dence of a nation, than those who are engaged in training the hearts and minds of the young. The integrity of society itself demands that at least those of our text books which relate to moral and political science should not be prepared by persons who hold opinions in conflict with those on which our institutions are based; and if our schools are ever to be purged of the scmi-infldel literature of the world, we will never have a better opportunity tban the present for the commence ment of this good. work. We would add, in addition, that our national enemies arraign ue at the bar of the civilized world, as a people of inferior moral development and capability; and every consideration which can appeal to our pride, to our patriotism aud to our manhood, as well as to our sense of duty to God and to our fellow men, should prompt those who labor in the moral domain, to be up and doing. We cannot afford to permit any exigency which our vindictive foes can bring upon us, to arrebt our efforts in behalf of those agencies which, next to religion, do most to promote the welfare of society; and we knot that if the rising generation is properly instructed the lapse of time will, by .the blessing of Providence, but insure that inde pendence fur. which those who are now on the stage of action, are so heroically contending. Relieving that these views meet with your hearty concurrence, we respectfully and earnestly invite you to meet us in council at the time and place specified above, fully believing that, by the Divine favor, we may thus be enabled to lay, in this day of trial, the foundation of a work which will redound to the houor and prosperity of our noble country. With much respect, we are truly yours, C. II. WILEY, J. D. CAMPBELL, WILLIE J. PALMER, Ex. Committee. i&iy An early reply to the above circular is respectfully solicited. Counterfeit.

Sale of Southern Books at. tiik Nonin, In looking over late Northern papers one is. struck with the advertisements for the sale of books which are acknowledged to have been stolen from Southern people.
