From the Fajettevillc Obserreri A New Hartford CoiiTcntlbrf. lhe oluer citizens or tne uontenea-acy re member, and -'die - younger hae' read of in Hititor'',' the' famous, or rather . infamous, Convention which metiin llartlord, Cunecticut, near the' close of the war of .1812-15, the ob- ject of which was to dissolve the theu existirig Tjnion. Tlrere are many points of resemblance to the proposetl Conyentiun which theRaleigh. Standard is endeavoring Ui get up in this State. Firrt and foremost the Hartford Convert tionists'1 were tired of the war, in which, by the way, they had taken lessarkid nioriey,or men than other parts of the country. Kext, their party was not. 'n power it was James Madison, a democrat, and not ' De Witk Clinton; a. fcderaV ' ist,who was at the head of the nation. ' The' pronouhceda war of a party, and insisted tltat the-party should cany.it an in the.lest way .they could. They deipanded that Mr. Madr son should resign, or that he nhould be got rid ot tU some way: Thegetter up of all this 'treasonable' feeling was Lhe Boston Cehtinefy a , pa'per of which it wat -said that it had the then J extraordinary cumber of 6,000 sutjscri bers-i-T-I had jre viously . been clamc rous for war w ijth England. . ' , . - . . I; 'Oie Raleigh Standard vnis long the advjb caie of secession. This is well known, though, the Standard' may now attempt to persuatie its readers otbervije: It voted thts .Confede racy into the war,and pledged "the last man aiid the, lajt dollar" to maintain iC It wjas the enthusiastic friend of President DavisJ But the Standard lias fallen onl with'Prjesji- -dent Davis and wauts hiin to retire. It has grown tired of the war, and -wants it stopped before ttsreat and only object is accomplish ed. It has "a large number of subscribers, like the Ccntiiiel ,pfid it Misusing its influence, with them to produce" discontent anddespoiwlen(?y, and t6v get ' lip a -Convention with. precisely ' such a purpose as .that which: animated the Hartford Conventionrets. Attempt to' dis guisfeit as they - may, the plain object of the Standard and some ol its followers is to Witb draw North i Caroliua from the Confederacy. In one breath the Standard decla'r that lit , " has made no "proposition to go'oiTt of fie , ConfederacyV' and in the next it det laresjtlijat s '-the people of North " Carolina wi;l: rise In their majesty and assert their sovereignty," ' "will take their own afiairs into their own . hai.ds.1' As usual, the Standard is on bojth fides of- the. question--i3 playii.j? fst and loose. . But one tbing is plain;' enough, no friend to the existence and suacess of. the Coin federacy in its present great struggle would jbe cdiioating the people into a belief that it jis their duty to withdraw their aid from their - sister States, to whom, by every . principle pof . rionor, they are bund to stand shoulder to shoulder. , i V ; . C4- ';' :;'' .The Hartford Convention assembled; It , was composed cf the then five; New England States.- -It held its sessions with: closed doors, j-aud.never divulged its proceedings.

' " . . ' : . " . it cannot be that the people of North Ca :o-. lina are prepared to violate their . solemn tjb- ligations to their brethren of the South., Th'ey cannot, like the anrfard, forget:or disregard thepledge that the Standard made for them, and they nil endorsed, on the 20th of May, 161, to resist thj Xincoln despotism, to sep arate the State front the '.. United States, j to unite it to the Oohfederaoy, and to fight to the last .for eter nal separation aod iridelcndence To violate these pledges woold be in the last decree dishonorable. The State would hefer regain the. repect of the world or of itself and besides, the condition of the people- for, all time woqld be tha't of utter degradation and ruin. It is idle and worse than idle to suppose tTiat,"North Carolina can; maintain a condition ' of sovereignty, "separate from her sister States.

' ; ' ; ! , '. . The Situation of the Confederacy. . We Feel perfectly Confident in the belief that, the desponcy- which to a-f certain; extent ibas- lately spreau . oyer ine country ;is aue, in a great decree, to the murmurinors f thase who i 'have been subjected to the opera tion -of the; j qonscription by the repeal . o"f the substitute Jaws.-',' Those , gentlemen who, ju ' the prime of life, 1 with all their limbs sound and intact, "With" their bodily conli- v tion in a6tate of per'fect health, strong, and active, who thought themselves secured from L accident by shot and shell under cover of their . substitutes, have lound themselves mistaken, and there is no eod to their lamentations. Of course, ihe country must be gone' to the dogs since they are called upon to fight, for it. v What more terrible JaUmity can befall it lhan that they should be disturbed jn their patri-' otic occupations of fleecing the public, and " hoarding up money, to bear; arms, like com mon people, in defence of their lives, their honiestheir families, and their firesides? . As long as the question was left to ie decided by others, everything was going on well enough. No reverses could daunt thejr courage, since it did not fall on them ; no defeat conld abate their hopes, sinefr'lt did not endanger their money-bags. :low, however, the sceneis completely re Yersed. These patriots see ruin in ererytbing even in our very successes- The idea of having to sholiier their muskets and face the enemy in person tinges.all "tflteir contemplatibns, and causes them to see every Ihingjihrough a veil as murky as the very pit of perdition.- They live ia an atniosphere rendered gloomy by their own personal' a p prehensrons, and they fancy that it is the only atmosphere in .the world. .Because everything looks, black and gloomy to them, they believe-that ever jthiug is black and gloomy in very trutfc. "Pat," said a gentle man sleeping at an inn to his Irish servant, "Pat, open the door and ee what' sort of night .it is." "Plase.your honor!"" answered Pat, opening the door of a press and ponjng his nose upon a huge cheese, '"Plase your honor,, it's dark and smell like cheese;: The discouteut, the murmurs the gloomy views of this class of malcunteuts have, vCe verily believe, done pore to dispirit this peo- pie than all the disasters we hav(4 sustained frum'th'ft lipainniiiuf nf thfi" war to f liiomnmps.f Vinstead oT meeting their fortune like men . inteitil of being thankiul tht for nearly three years of unexampled trials, dangers, and ha' d ships, they have enj')ied, by the mere pay ment of a suin of. money, a total exemption froui them all instead of taking up their muskets like men and doing, their duty aa every man. is "called bn to d'o in this day of trial a large portion of these people are en gaged in no other .occupation than that of spreading gloom anddiscontqnt arou them. And all tor" what? Because they are called on to serve their courftry as vell as the poor, ragged, hardghiing .veterans of Lee; John- ston, and Ueauregftrd; to whom th-y owe -it tnat tliey have not long ago been stripped ot every dojjarjthat they! have in the world, and made the servants of their own negroes' and the mockgry of the white scoundrels with whom they are associated. "Let us not be un derstood as iem bracing in these femaiksa or even' th3 larger portion of the substitute hir ers, Some of them, a large portion, accept their fate" with cheerfulness ; others, . quite a large bo'dy,.were compelled to procure substi itutes by "a necessity inferior only ia its exact ions to absolute duty- We speak of that class and it is ar vexv large one, which procured substitutes tor the purpose or making, money out of t'his war, and of tK other class, a lar-; ger one -still, which prucure'd them 'merely' to keep their own carcasses out of danger These classes' it is whose complaints and clamors have had so lai-ge a share . in depressing tl spirits of. thp people at large." . i -i f.. ' t ' f- l niuai ii;jcci iiuai sumo auvii- ts'iurce aaM this, or how are we to account lor it? Toe country certainly, is in no worse cbndidon-now than it has been on more than one "occasion heretofore. Compared wilh the situation in whichit stood two yeirs ago when Donelnn surrendered, aud New Orleans and Memphis were taken : when McClel lan had an army of 250,000 "men behind tiie.Pofbtnac, and John- stou riad less tnan 40,'J0 to face nim ; wben the voluut'eer system had failed to procure liny' more recruits, and Congress was wasting its tiroe,as it is now, in listeninr; to Buncfembe . speeches, instead of passing a .conscription law. Assuredly i it is not:so bad now as it was when McClellan lay around this City with an -arnry of 15(1000 men ; when-every hour a disaster which rSlght throw it 'open to his advance was expected, ' when the Govern ment was preparing to save itself by flight, and Congress, after hurrying through a. con st?ription billjust in time to save the country, did actually.abandon their posts, and tiy like a rabble of militia beforel,'a charge of cavalry We hear enormous boasting of their pfepara tiqnfrom the "enemy, and we give way to panic just as if they nevert boasted before, or as if we.haJ not heretofore withstood then? m spite of all.the brgadocii. 'Why, when the war was about to open, they were confident of subduing us with ,76,000 men. 25",000, Were to march frcm Cairo down the Mississippi, 25, 00Q wero to laud and ir.arch on Caarkstou, and 25,000 we're to'mbve upon Richmond Not the least doubt ;was expresssed .of success, which was to be: signalized by- hanging Jeff ',.

Have we forgotten the pompous description of .the iron clad vessels, and the continued glorifications of J Yankeeaom's invincible legions, which? crowded the columnjS of all tneir papers at that je markable period ? . .Have they riot said every day-in the year that from" that day, so uuiny months, the rebellion was to be crushed ? And are. we ;weakedkneed enough now to succumb to what is notbiug mpre than a .repetition of their empty bravadoes 7 Will the people of this country permit their spirits to be casCdowa by the repining of irieu who repine merely be-" . ft - I bomesinttead of leatinff others to do all : the - ngnnng iqt them 7 -r : -; 3 ; vThat the Yankees Tire making desperate ef forts tobringthe war to a speedy termination cannot, be doubted.-aud we; at least, are not at all disposed to deny it. . But the rer varices ' which they offer for the re-enlistra.erit of tHeir veterans prores that this effort, will be .their last, - The very fact that th'ey are enlisting our negroes to da their fighting for them, proves a scarcity of men who have . any. stomach for the war. -Nevertheless, they will make this effort', andi will Jbe , gigantic-: And how da we. propose to meet it ? Not, we presume, by a tame surrender ; not by - giving uponr houses 'to be taken possession 'of by negroes ; not by turning over all onrjgaods and "chattels to be confiscated for the benefit ottbe Yankees; not by sitting with our arms folded, or wring i ng our h ands and ,bl ubberi h g over our mis-' fortunes. These are-the inevitable consequen ces .of s.ubmlssion,Tand we do . not Suppose even the most gloomy of the -substitute pur chasers contemplate such a surrender as-that. If they do hot, thefe-is but one" "alternative." It is to obey the laws of Congress cheerfully ad with alacrity to fight the enemy, since better may not be done." While our (ingress- men are talking, tkey are preparing; for' their I formidable onset. ' We mftst be I prepared to meet them, and we can' be prepared if the proper steps be .taken. We mttst meet them, and we must beat them. :AYhat is more, we ' cati meet them, and we can beat them.. .What is most of all. we . will meet1 them, arid we will beat them. "Away, then, with all this child ish despondency i There is no occasion r it, and if there were, this is not "the time to in dulge in it. The Confederacy has . not 'yet put forth pne-half its strength. It bas risen always with the occasion, and thus it will continue to rise,. as fast as fresh occasions pre sent themselves. For our own part, we never have doubted of the issue, even when' McClel- lan-was aroiraa this city, and that, we take it, was the darkest hour of the .Confederacy. A Few nistorical Facta ' About lii. - We'. take the following article from that ex cellent journal, the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle & Sentinel : . All history goes to jirove the truth of the aphorism cf the Bible, that tbe battle is not always to th strong meaning the most numerous. From the' earliest records of hiftory to the present day, thesmaller number has won at feast: thrc battles out of four. Success in war depends on efficient organiza- tibnyand steady discjpliue, courage' and en.du' ranee in both soldiers aud omcers. rew uien-. have ever pssessed the capacity to -establish thee things in a large army. The Ronaau Legion ojnsisted of about 8,000 men. A consular army was two Legious, or about 12,G00 men. Tnis number "was -sometimes increased by their' allies and slaves to twenty thousand. With this fdce-they con-, quered the world. A French . corps dahnee composes about 20, QUO men, andyeD Napoleou was in the habit i-f saying, that . he could not find even a Marshal who. could handle,, that number. No officer, in this-countryhas ever fought a battitj with as many as 300,000 men undjghis commaml. ' The fact is, those half million arniiesare usually the victims, if not of the canuop, of pestilence, famine 4nd mutiny. Organisation, "tho right man in the fight, place," at; the right time, and properly equipped. Orgaui zaiiou is the soul, the Jife and strength oi' an ariny, and it is a thing that money, "the sinews of war," cannot buy at once on any large scale. It is not in, the market.. Timet brain and skill are necessary to create it;. Let us see . if the 'facts of history do not sustain us in thest views : ; The Athenians, with 10,000 men, defeated a Persian .army of 30,000 at Marathon, and with notmore than three' times that number won the battles .of" Plateq and Sal imis, ' and drofe five millions of invaders fro ni their sail. Alexander overrun Asia with one-third the puruber of the forct-s that opposed him, ' . . YVhenthe Swisis Cantons determined to strike for their dependence with 500 men they defeated 20,000 Austians, under the Arch Duke of Austria, at Morgarten. VVith an equally disproportionate force' they fought sixty pitched battles and maintained their in dependence. .- . .-" " . When Edwflrd'ofEnglanifinvadtd Scotland-, with 10.0,000 : men, he was" met and defeated at Bannofckburn by Bruce at " the head f 3'),b00 h;lf-arrned llighlauders. In A. D. 1,500, Maximilian of Germany, Louis X II of France, Fefdinand of Spain, and. Bbpe Julius II, formed thejn famous league of Cam bray, for the destruction of . Yenice With heroic resolve, Venice ' took . fs field against the 'powerful combination. Superior force might, in the end have overpowered her, bat Providence is .ever on the side of the right. Discord and .dissension broke out among the Confederates,, their armies were .defeated aud Veuice was preserved. '. : .' The little. , city of Leyden withstood the whole power of Spain, at the time, the'r most warlike nation- in li.urope. - . r The Prince of Orange, at the head of sever 'al small provinces of Holland, not one. of them larger than a Virginia couuty, maintained their independence-against the most , powerful monarch in Europe and defeated armies that were often three times as- numerous as his 1 own, andommahded by John of Austria and Alexander Faroes, the greatest military lead ers of the age. - " But wliy multiply instamces ?

The yictim was a very-bright mulatto ; he had been captired- be;ir Eiizib,'th City, aud he . must have: been brought urarly .seventy .niks to the place of execution, that the rcta'iatifn might be executed on the very same spot where the atrocity which occasioned it had been committed.

The estimate made to ' us is, that there are three million pounds of meat 'iu this country, which may be secured by the military enterprise of our ; authorities.

In these counties, some eighty pcrAus have refused to take the oath of allegiance, aud have sent a delegation to liichmoud to entreat the', protiiction of the Confederate .authorities and to have their rights defined. - It is to be hoped that Colonel GrifSu's force will be more efi'ectively Orga'nized, and also be enlarged for a Campaign to, secure the valuable supplies between the Blackwatcr an5 the Iloauoke. . .'A portion of Colonel GrifSu's force, -at present are North Carolina State troops, who are very effectively commanded by Col.

But having been Informed by a Federal rfbcer, that the' services in ihe Epis copal Church, on Christinas day, would be' couductod by the. Kcv.. Mr. Fox, an old and esteemed minister of that church, a citizen of Warren' counr'y for many years, tind well known in Vicksburg, aud having been a?red, byii by tiie officer and the minister, tlmt tire: prayer for the President of-' the United StaU s' should be omitted, and that'the services iiralt 4Jrcspects should be... congenial, arer tne uio.l urgent solkitatipns on the part of cch of these persous, many of - them cmiseuted. to at tend.

To a peoplu therefore, who; had been so long debarred tne pleasure of con genial religious services, this promised privi lege afforded a peculiar satisfaction. The co.igregatiou.ou this memor ible occasion, was; composed ofTcitjzens aud Federals, both officers a-djnldiers.

'who were actuated by triesame leelings. j - Under these circumstances, they regarded it their right and their duty to withdraw fiHra a pja'ce which thus had been rendered unpleas-' aut to tneoi, ad from a people with whom they had no sympathy. t Judge of.thtsir sur prise, therefore, whenon the next day, they! loathed from undoubted sources,, that a nuui-; ber of Federal oiiioers had ' sigueua petition! for their banishment, This first petition-, it. is believed, did not reacii thecommaudihg Generaf, but a feeling ofhame - had found its way 40 the heart of some one at or about Headquarters', and it was destroyed. It, was soon succeeded, howaver,: by another, urgently ' requesting that theoffen-! dersbe sent oeyoud the lines ; and this, we uuderstaud, was signed by to-thirds of tne officers in the city. . The (ifinai .commanding held a coHsu.tation on the yrave quetion,-with ; his advisers, and the raagnanimous olliAals, many in number, Were unanmious, with bat few- exceptions, for the bauishment of the ; oflenders. , The Provost Marshal made an official visit to demand the names of the ladies when he was iuiornied hat no apology would be made ky the parties offending, aud the Federal au inorities could take such action in the matter as they pleased. Accordingly, a copyof ,the a'wve order was sent toeacn ot the laUltes in the aftornooe of the same day, ahd also placarded throughout tha city , 1 he General was applied to on behalf of some of the partiesIvfor longer time to make arrangements lor-tbtir transpor--tation beyond the fines, and for the adjust ment of their fiuaneial nratters.
