I am old enough to re memhei the peace ot 1815, and the joy it excited ; ut it was as nothing in compari son with what ours will bo when this brother' war is over. When peace '-nine or before it comes it tin madness ol those in power prolongs this dreary confl.cl will como tho day of responsibility ; and pai t ol the duly of the Dem 'cralic party will be to enforce this ctcrn account.

Tbis virulent malady is prevailing to considerable eaten' thnughout tho entire country. iN o cases have occurred in this immediate section, though we h ar of sev eral in adjoining counties. We understand that the disease is racing losuih an extent at Cedar Fails in Randolph county, as to render it necessary to suspend operations n tbo oxten-ivc Coilon Factory at that place 1' is h lo he rejrreited. It spread of this deadly disease, we think is o ing in a great measure tj carelessness on the part of army and hospital surgeoi s. Thoy should he more careful than lo set d suspected cast s of small pox through the country, which can only bi character zed as committing wholesale murder. When we read some timeapo of a ''Military Squire" in Virginia, parading a case of small pox through a crowded train, regarding it as a "good joke" we had serious apprehensions, and we are induced to believo that such "joking" has boon carried on to a considera ble extent. Let every person be vaccinated. Sr William 11. Reeves, of Co., E, 22nd N. C. Regiment, having been published af a deserter be requests us to contradict the statement. 11 o says he has never been absent from his post but two weeks, since he entered the service, at the commence ment of the war, and that he ha. been with h'S regiment in every engagement from tho batllo of Seven Rines to Froder (ti icksburg, at wtucn latter place be was severely wounded, and has returned home on a regular furlough. We learn from lhe last number of the Daily Progress that Mr. John B. Neathery has become an Associate Editor of that paper. Mr. N. is a young man of intelligence and of practical kowledge in the priatiBg business Who hall Rule? - It is a question of some importance now at issue in this Stato, whether the people of North Carolina, through their legally chosen Representatives, shall shape the la ws and direct the public affairs of tho Stato, or whether it shall ho dono by tho Editors of the Richmond Enquirer. And it is with deep regret that wo observe our old friend of the Raleigh Register has es poused tho cause, and is in favor of submis sion to tho dictation of tho F. F. V.Vof Virginia. Wo hope bo will yet see the in dignity thus offered,-to the pooplo of'tho Stale by thoso officious meddleis in tho affairs of North Carolina, and show to tho people of his adopted State that ho is with them, in heart and feeling, and uot with thoso who have ever assumed a h-utie-ri.mty over them, as every intelligent North Carolinian knows tho "First Fami lies" of Virginia have always done. We assuro our friond of the Register, that un less wo are greally deceived in regard to tho iruo character of tho people of IS' .mi Carolina, iheio is virtue, patriotism, and intelligence enough in the Statu to take aro of her honor and interests, without di-u-tion from abroad. We are happy to say, that outride tho confines of Raleigh, wo find but lew who favor a "Virginia Dictatorship" for'JNor'h Carolina. At.d, in justice to the people of Raleigh, if wo judge by tho voto tin y gave a few days sinco for State Senator, there are but few sympathizers with tho Register in this matter in Raleigh. At an election to fill a vat ancy in tho Senato in Wake county, Maj' r Wiliio D.Jones was the Conservative candidate, and h s oppo. nunt was Mr. Wilbeit C. Page. The vote in Raleigh stood Jot es 198; Page 16. This, though a small vote, .we take as a fair in dication oi the strength ol tho parties, in Raieigh; und showing lhat even in Raleigh the Register has but lew who coincide wuh Us views. Tue Register says "the majority of tho Legislature owe their seats in it loa fiau'l," and again, that "the conservatives" imc cheated the people." Such assertions ;re entirely gratuitous, and are slanderi n ; j f n tho pooplo themselves. We have hereto lore had abundant pioof that the oii'ii a! secessionists had no confidence in tli' ca pacity of the people for elf-govcrnment-Ar.d hero tho Register repeats the same thing in black and white. If tho j ' were cheated into the election of Vance Governor of tho Stato. and a ma jority of his friends to the Legislature, they appear to bo well satisfied -nth l cheated, for in the several election. uh v'1 have taken placo to fill vacancies in u body eince the meeting of tho Legislature, in overy instance, wo believe a Coneena tivo ha been elected. Ono of the great issues before the peoplo in iho elections last summer was, whtti r the military should remain subordinate to the civil law, thus securing to each citizen his rights as a freeman; or whether ho should be liable at. any moment to be snatched up by some military officer wiia-
