Now, the oonaoript law looked to the conscription, if emergencies reqaired it; of all white men able to do military duty (cer tain specified exemptions excepted J between the ages of 18 and 45 years of age, and the conscription was to be made by .rales and regulations prescribed by tbe Secretary ef War. These rales and regulations, then, when prescribed, kecame a part of the law, which is the supreme law of land, and irri--versibte by any State tribunal. Thibeing the ease, it follows that no, man under 45 'years of age, and subjeot to conscription, ; oould, by going into i errice as a enbstitnte, exonerate bis employer from the .service when die eonscriptioa was so extended as o embraoe men of his, the .substitute's sge, be- oanse, if each was. the oase, the Qovarnmen t would lose the serriee of a man to whose 1 serrices it was entitled. Suppose fire hun dred men liable to the eonsoription of those between 18 and 35 years bad hired each! a uDsutute over so years ot age and unqer 45, and the oonscriptibn had been extended to tboae between 18 and 40, (u wu done) or to those between 18 and 45 years of ago, (as may be done) is It not manifest that the military' serTioes of five hundred men wonid be lost to the oo'untry, and Urns the very end and aim of the law be to that extent set at naoebtl ' And if fire hundred could be tb:ua exempted the same j principle carried Qut would' exempt any number no matter how many frandred or bow many thousand, man otm 1 years! of ager and under can make a contract to act as a substitute for the, war for another, for the plain reason that he is liable aa a principal and cannot act 'ea'j Depnty for auo&er. We bare ffsn many adfertisements for 'substitutes, and! as far aa pur memory eert es na they generally have specified that the person offering as a subititale must be over 45 years of ag?i Wb thUoonditidttf Sorely, beoause, if 4n der 45 and oyer 18 years of age, hewouU ' himself be liable aa 'a'oonacripi and eoild not aol as a substitute. . Than this, it seems to us, nothing can be more plain and mani fest. . 'And yet. now the claim is set forth that a State Judtre may set at Hbertv a man who employed a substitute w ho waa himself liable to oonscnption; in other words, employ, ed a man who could neither legally, morally, ' or in point of oommon sense, beoome a jsub. 1 sUtote for any man liable to . conictipUori ' ' And1 the Secretary of War Is spoken, of aa but one of the aerrants of the Soyereigu Bute of North Oarolina? who mutt ba tasbt that bis authority cannot override that of a Judge the State Now, the Secretary of War is simply the executor nf the Conscript Law, which is tbe law.

Prom the beginning there has )eejn si sedulous effort by certain parties in this State to foment dif&oul ties with the Confeder rate Government. Last winter the dominant party in the Legislature came within a hair's breadth of flagrantly nullifying the' Conscript law, in spite of all the warnings of the re sults which such a -course would produce. From the beginning efforts have been made to render the Conscription hateful in the, eyes of tine people, and now we have an "order" stat ing substantially that State Judges may nul lify it. That such an "order' should have inanated from Gov. Vance, must strike with surprise every fair minded man who beard or rtid tis inaugural t'a'idlciaredl ith&t-the dosoript jaw bad saved, the country, and that without it our armiea would have been disbanded in the very crisis cf the war, and our cause have been irretriev nDjflpt'C Whethefi, could -hate expested sin "order" from bib), the effect of which: if exeeuted; will either nnUify tbe' Supreme Law of the land, or bring on a hostile colli sion between the militia of North Carolina, and the soldiers of the Confederate army Tbe Kaieigh "Standard threatens that if the "Pe8trubtives,"as its Editor calls all the' true men of North Carolina who will never "consent to reunite with 'the damnable Yan kjees, ever get into powgr here, the "Conser -vatives" will resist their sway by force. T$a is not the exact language but the substance of what the "Standard" said in its issue of Friday.

Da Monday, the 25th, the County Court as setnbled for the transaction of buine8." There were no jury cates tried, and but little buiinets of anj kind transacted. The Bench of magistrates made arrangements for the collection of taxes and adjourned early on Wednesday. On Tuesday a likely negro girl, aged twenty four years, with a child of four years old, waa sold by auction. Though'only a "common field hand, utterly unacquainted . with house-work, she brought $2,350 cash, about double what she would hare sold for two years ago.

D. R. Brooks: Dzar Sir : I thank you for sendin? me the letter trom my dear brother, directed to you, and hope you wUl,for me, thank him for the liberal sup- piy oi necpssariee, wmcn ne not only permits me to have from town, but pays for out of his own pocket, in is is one or many thousand acta of kindness, liberal evidences of brothely love, which 1 nave received from my.brother, begun and con- Unued, unsolicited, years ago. If brother Ed ward were not the same flesh, blood and bones. "born of the same father and mother, the manv helps, and acts of kindness he has rendered me. would make me love him, or convict me of being an ungraraiui, nearuess wreicn. l positively af firm I never took any oath of neutrality, but from the first bodr of my arrest, declared I would rot in any dungeon, rather than take the oath of neu trality or allegiance to the .Lincoln Government. I made the same answer in Newborn to General Burcside.and refer my brother to the then Pro vost Marshal, Capt. Messenger, and to the record. I gave my parole, lr assassins force my house at night, their bands red with the blood of my'fel-low-citlzena, being the strongest and armed, they take me to their den. In order to gain my liberty, to protect my wifo from violence, my home from being desolated, l gave tnem my parole. Then,if I feel for tne men whose wives, mothers and sis ters these wretohevhave violated, and express my aonorrence, ao l violate my parole? l have been to Newborn, and know Chore the thieves have vi olated the graves, stealing the plate from the cof fins, and even stealing tbe coffins.

If this is true, is the J nawng tnese iniamous wretcnes, and.sayine so. a forced the doer, stole some small mahtle orna ments, a small prayer book given by my brother to my son, and a few little things such, as they could pocket; they . robbed the ben-roost, and burned the bees to steal the honey from a hive.-1 saw a fellow while I was dressing examining my wife's work basket, doubtless looking for a thirn-1 ble, to be sent home to bis wife, mother; or sister. ' Does tbe telling this truth violate my parole?

The Brigadier General Commanding seizes tbe earliest opportunity, since his return to the com mand, or congratulating tbe officers and men of this Brigade upon their conductduring the recent engagements around and at Chancellorsville. To say that he expected much of them would con vey but an inadequate idea of the confidence which he has always reposed in their gallantly ; and he is happy to declare that his most sanguine anticipations nave been more than realized. The patience and seir-tienying patriotism with wnlch they endured the toils of the march, the expo sures of the weather, and the privations of the en tire compaign, equally tneir with conspicuous and brilliant daring in the battle-hour and upon tbe charge,' have inspired him with emotions of the protounaesi aamirauon anu prise.

Tbe Mill was, of course, blown to pieces, and the bodies of the unfortunate men thrown to a considerable distance in the air, mutilating them in a shocking" manner. The shock of the explosion was felt at the distance of 10 and IX miles from the Mill. The Mill was owned by a company, but waa mortgaged to the Stale for 1 10,000, the Slate hav ing advanced that sum to enable the erection of the Works. The cdmnany waa "known aa the North Carolina .Powder Manufacturing: Com pany," and 3..W. Davis was President. The Mill waa anew one, and wayust getting fairly under way in making powder. It is said that there were about 750 pounds of nowder in the Mill at the time of the explosion. J3emocra. COLONEL JLIRKLAND. The numerous friends s this gallant officer, wounded in the battle of Chancellorsyille, will be gratified to learn that be has resumed the com mand of his regiment, the 2 1st N. Carolina. Col. Kirkland served as an officer in the U. S. Navy. He was 'elected Colonel of the 21st N. O. Begi' ment when first organized, and signalized himself and his regiment in the campaigns in tha Valley of Virginia. He was severely wounded in the battle of Winchester, and thereby prevented from participating in the Subsequent splendid victories gained by Generals Jackaon and Swell, 07er Fra mont and Shields. Colonel Kirkland, for several months, belonged to Gen. Hardee's staff, but mora' recently by the cordial solicitation of his comrades in arms, was returned, to his old regiment. An accomplished gentleman, a gallant soldier, a eu perb tactician, he will always perform tbe dutiea of the position to which he may be assigned, with honor to himself and usefulness to bis country. His vigilance, bis energy, his solid judgment, and above all, bis characteristic intrepidity, pre-eminently qualify him for any position to which he may be promoted. Should, however, his claims be overlooked in this respect. Col. Kirkland will not overlook the fact that hta country need his services, and' will never retire from the field while a hostile foe remains on Southern soil. F. A. INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENCE. The return ef Mr. John Minor Botts to Rich mond at this time would of itself suggest the near approach of an, election, in which' the effort was to be madete strike down some secessionist, but rumor has it that perhaps his visit may not have been as "voluntary as be would have desired. An intercepted - correspondence between Mr. Botts and a Yankee officer, has lately been sent to the War Department, detected in the bands of a free negro. ' Gen. Fitz Lee, in Sending tha intercepted let ter, recommends that Mr. Botts be not permitted to remain so near the lines of our army. The in tercepted correspondence desired to Jtnow if any advicefc had been received by the Yankee officer from Washington, as to the return At Mr. Bolt's negroes, and , expresses a reluctance to believe -lhat he who has been persecuted la his person, by xne Tyonieaeraieuovernmeni, wui be permitted to be also persecuted in his property by the United Stetea. . .-;', ' Perhaps Mr. Botts visila Richmond at this time to explain this intercepted correspondence, and not ta take any active part in behalf of his friend, Col. Wickbam. RieK. JEnqy.irer. . TH2 MEMPHIS-GRENADA ! APPEAL. For several days we bare felt no little anxiety for our eld friend, the Memphis ppeai, In' the general sacking ef the"cit y - of Jackson.
