In the first , place, then, we must have men to carry ot the of numbers "witn us muse oe control uu oy our; " ability to etibsist. ' - ' Our armies neetl recruiting, or rather the rank's of f hose in the Held need filling .up. How Khali this be accfnnplisheti t Aiyranswer, is re:idy-i.iiai!d. Uring back the absentee's,' of w li'inir I, will venture, there U .to-day i nott lessthnn fifty percent, of this army, j have recently converged with. the commanders of three, different brigades on this .important qaektion.r . One of them tcld me that. m. his brigade forty per ceut., were absent ; anothT . told me that in his brigade forty-five ier ceiit j were absent, mid another nity1 xwr cent. s Taking the mean of these thrt?e jftatemeritsj , -as the average, it will appear that , forty-five! per cent, of, this army is ;a linen t from it. The'; ' i iiqiiir j which very readily presents itself 't6v every one is, where are these men ? I answer1; that they' are at home; detailed as conscript ; catchers, prevost guards, passport clerks, aU .tachesto -quartcrmHsters, commissaries, andl i hopital.v and a very large class are banging . around loose on surgeons' certificates, . whilst ; not a small las are ahseirt without permission .; orVjicuse ; and ,yet the names of these: neov are'borne upon the niuster rolls of htwior of Hhenrmy of Northern Virginia. Ought these things so to he ? Can they not be rem-; cilieil ?. .1 believe tley can. , To begin : the jirent conscript 'organization of the State hp' Virginia is a positive nuisance' .The tiC wl.u are thus engaged so contri ve 'that the .duty of collecting conscripts shall be iruTiden.tal t their private duties- rather thanfttfpuhlic business of their lives. The fi?fTer, then, all those who are thus engaged liall.be relieved -and returned to Jen- tonltnnds the better, for the-rrny. and the country. ... Return., all .the l'ro'vost gfiards to their; several-commands, and bring out the 45 to 60 class of men, nd givelhem this feorl of duty, to perform. Im- prove our legislation so as to lessen the power of sUryeofis in granting and extending fur lougjia for sickness and. dis.iblity. T is is, huwever looks to - vigonms measures, .meas-, ures calculated to operate-up.on the Tears rath tr than, appealing to the better qualities 'of men's natures. - There ought to. be established, at orjce be' Congress a systenr of rewards for brave and' meritorious acts. A roll of honor,' or some distinguishing badge, that would -tell as the ( faithlul solider passed orr the highways1, 'tlere goes a soldier who, tjhough clad m oingy - gar-; 'mentis and cutting b jt a poor figure in dress, has yei deserved . WE?11 ol his country, in the daiiip, on the march., in the bivouac, or it h.ay be when' the. battle, has raged hottest and the nilssiks of death rained thickest." This . armv,vHuld be a new machine by the passage oi such a law, and every man here would then i cxeti himself to be a hero in the strife. Shame, . . , . Ii OoLsvess, that thus-far there has beent upon do such legislation. and eternal honor to our glorious jdead who sleep . in neglected private graves, and our brave and faithful soldiers that,. though their country has never remem bered tliem, yetth'at they have never forgot- ten or been recreant to ' their country. ''Bet ter late than ncer,"-would be good motto lor Congress. Lt them order from this time - forth a system ot rewards and medals, : that Ifen the strife of; battle is o'.er, the soldier, in his rags 'and his poverty, may point Jo. ti e p. Oofs of bis patriotism and valor, and tell his children,; though I leave you penniless in money, you are yet ricV in the legaty of pa triotic self-sacrifice which your ancestry en- dui ed. But I would, go a step fartner," There are in this army, I should suppose, not -.'.ess th;att four thousand able-bodied white men, ; capable ot making excellent.soldiers, .who aie acting as" teamsters and ambulance driver. Why cannot the places of these men be filled by colored peons and thehe wiiites restored : in their cnnnands tor the duties of the field ? am -satisfied if these suggestions "are observe'd ;and the substitute law is rigidly enforced, that a - this "anny t Northern Virginia will bd strong Jenough iu the coming spring for any work , that it may be legiiiniatejy expected to accom hsb. Qfticers who havj served in the army of Tennessee tell tne that ail I have said in this particular, applies with" equal force to' 1 that army. ; ,, 1 caLnpt believe that there is a i necessity for ' j taking the men above fifty, or the boys uuder eighittu, Ui swell the ranks-of our regular' artuy because I am satisfied that the cor script ! law. if n'ronerlv enforced, will give a suffi: 1 (ii.cy oi men ; and as for a, " reservexl " force; . : it Uheans nothing ttae thaii harassing the people j ;t't the State; without any practical good results, hiUt the withdrawal of so large a force ef: labor, land superintendence of labor, at uch time as tie planting season, may seri - t'Usly impairour pros pets for summerand fall I s ; and to take liooi j.be school? the- boys ; tn.tJt r eighteen will be pratctically to close the ; jSchooi-houges, and to bring up in grossest ig V fiance the r'sing generaiion the, future 6c- upitrs and rulers of the soil. ' Another remark ;'jaLd I have done.- Three years of this war are ''practically at an end, and we are sirohger, re : .lativtly, in men under arms than .' we have ?ver been whilst the Nortri i comparatively , i ;e;,ker in soldiers; bnt it cannot be denied, j U;ink that bread and meat is scarer tlian at i the begin ing tf'the war.

That. closing; remark is this ; I teg Congress to makej '.no ef oft to disttfrb the present organisation f ,tbp aripy.

The - Standard l.&s hai: precisely the jsate information; public-and private. It'has known, butconccaled froth its readers, that articles published by it with approbation have bec-n caughf up at the North, printed by millions, as the Standard has beejn inform-d, we repeat, with a prefix st .ting that they were evidence that the Stanr 'dard and the people of North Carolina were hostile Jto the Confederacy and in- favor of re construction. Alsw the Standard has known arid concealed from its readers, that the Yan kees at (Washington, N. C. ,wereso thoroughly sallsfi-d by the Standards, publications . that it arnl-the State were for"" the constiuttion as it is. and the Union as it was," that they held aj meeting calling for reinforcements to march into theS interior of the Stats for the purpose of developing the Union sentiment, it is true the teliflfuroTderiied the correctness of such in ferences, and declared that it wag opposed to re construction.1 And we were only too happy to beive jits declarations ,We were unwilling tfjl)elieVe,' and did not believe, that o .e wh if ut voted us into the war and into the Uon- R deracj, and had solemnly pletlged "the last 'dollar-and the last man" to maintain , that vote, coukl-.be unfaithful to'its pledge. It is. likewise true that the Standard has not yet operdy advocated reconstruction, thougtfsome of its friends, have, through its columns raad ptlerwise; and thoiigh itseif has emphatically! declared that in contingencies which it seems toTanticipate, "Ae people of NortK Cirolin'i will, take their ; own affairs, into their own hiinds "r-t guan'ed manner of declaring that North Oaralina will in that e'vent secede from H the Conjederacy. If she were thus to secede, nether jthe Standard nor any one else can imagine ibr a moment . that she could stand alone, with a considerable part of her territory occupied by yaukeetroops,and ou her frontiers four States which would necessarily feel the deepest indiguation at.thev base abandonment. of ; the Standard s pledge ; and the ; St ite s pledge. What then ? The State would ne- eessaruy resort xo mat reconstrucuon la wnicn hiixe. Standard has declared itself opposed, and Lthtj, again one of the United-States," 'North coima would be as, far as ever Irom peaae, lor she wouid be required to assist. Lin-, co.In ?in the subjugat nn of Virginia and South Carolina and the other Confederate States. , Can the Standard doubt this ? We put thejquestion solemnly, and hopetlie Sfan datd will answer it plaiuly and paudidly : If the pelople of North Caroliua take their own? ahairs into their owu hands, thus separaung. the &tate from the Confederacy, do?s the Stati dard expect it to stand alone, or to come again uuder the goverument ot the Umted Stales. irJ f t u k;,n.ctfl'H otitis. Standard, and none which ought to be more idsiiulv and franklv answered. We are tempted; toak it in conse quence of the editorial article, in the Standards the 1st instant, from which, we quote the remark above aud the following extract from a set Oration recently? delivered at Gettysburg by the Hon. Edward Everett of Masraihusetts : . j "The heart of the people, North and South, .ia fcir the Union ' I ndic5itioua. toaolaiatO be mistaken, announce the fact, both in the East and the' .West of the States -in rebellion. In J North Ciroliu a and' Arkansas the fatal cha.rm. at iedgtl is broken. At Raleigh and Little fliock, -.thp lips, of honest, and '"brave, men are Unsealed and au independent press is un limbering its artillery Tho weary masses of the -people areyeariiiug to see the dear old flag tiuatiug jr.gain upon the capitots, and they sih for the - return of peace, prosperity and hanninesk which the v cni yed uuder a Govern i,. nt w-hnKft nower was felt oulv in its ; bless- in. a We earnektly call the attention of the Sian- "dard to this also, and ask it if it is a true rep-; tserrlation of either "the heart ofthe people '' bf North SCar.iina,.or of the " honest and brave men " or p he " independent press " at Raleigh, Ot of fuel character- of the old government t Mr. Everett's, allusion is manifest without contradidtioo, to the Raleigh Standard. And in all seriousness, and in most respt ctful terms we ak ttie Standard to say yea or nay; to, the above! auctions: fl Weevil' not presume to anermine. wnai will bki ii4 answers. But We think we cannot be ristaen jin believing, that if it shall answer tett. the scales will fall. irom tbe e'es of thou- - . i. . - 1 M. 8aod8iwhb follow the Standard blindly, but have no thought or. ?ish t follow anybody a l!ead iTntol a new , association with the, vile yanies;! and that if, as w hope, it ; shalj answer iy,thcn thoasands who are now gradu ally judiriiug to iwhat they think the Standard means, will pause. upon the edge of the preci pUe which they, are approaching, and will be saved from that fatal plunge into a gulf which will wbiRn property, life, liberty, and honor. :.
