In Tiew of this . fact, and as these operatives hare do r tkred their -ayrapfttliiei with the Got ernnjwit of the United States in its contest with the rebels, the New York Timet proposes, that, as wa owe them . some substantial acknowledgement of . Jhig friendliness, we should, from our abundance, send them a free gift of wheat and corn for their famishing r families. Out of our abundance, wc ' could give enough palpably to relieve them, and it would bo but a slight token of pnr gratitude for their adhe sion to our cause.

Pressing to the front, I dm eorered them drawn up in line nf battle on the crem of a hill a mile in front of us. We were on the brow of a hill, also, and between us was a deep ravine. Colonel Lee ordered the column to halt, and there formed the infantry in line of battle, two regimorfls on each aide of the road, directly in rear of the deration where be bad placed his artillery. Before this was concluded the enemy opened upon us a oi oat rigorous fire from two Held pieces placed where our position was fully commanded.

During thia charge, Lt Cullan, of Co. 11, Fourth Illinois cavalry, who was on hia horse cheering on his akirmiahers, and direct ing their ov-vcinenla, received a painful wound in his shoulder.

The arguments of the Standard are taken from statistics which proves to all that it is no buncomb article ; s " the nzures will show that since, tne begin ning of Ihe war, this Slate has sent tigkty : thnveand men to the field. ' Twenty thousand ol these have died, from wounds or disease, ' nre thousand are until for duty leaving about liny thousand now in service, and ready to meet tho enemy. From the cry first this Slate has been among the most forw ,rd and . active in the war. Her blood and ber resour ces of all kinds have been poured out like wa ter ir. ihe cause, and, for ihe most part, on the soil ol other States. She has sent more vol unteers stid more conscripts to the field, in proportion to her population, than any other S ate. Th -sb who remain aie nut able totaks cire of the farms, and, on an average, not mors than a half crop can be raised next year. If 'he conscii t. between 85 snd 4'J should b taken, we shall be lint only destitute, in a g vat decree, of men. to defend our seacoasi, but nut more than one-third of a crop will be m ide next ) ir. Good, full crops are as essen tial lo our defence t men and munition of war. Il the people at home are reduced l starvation, it will not be in their power to aid loose in Ih field by contributions of clothing, shoes, snd the like f anil if the great mass of our people should he thus reduced, tli wires and the ch Idren wiil suffer in common with them. And what is more, if starvation should be iminent, or even great and general suffer ing for food and raiment, the people wilf rise up and stop th war, lot 111 consequences b wbal they tnay. "He, that hath ears to bear, let him hear." ' . i What, then, is Ihe remedy? We know f but one, and that is lo suspend Ih execution of the confer ntion law in this S'ate, on per- s ms between 35 and 40. Gov. Vane has no di-eretinn in that mattMr. If tha General Aaa. s inbly is silent, or refuses to set, h cannot ' di-rcgarJ his obligations lo enforce the lew, when c.ill'd upon, to do so by the President j and even if he could and if he wer to do so, die enmllini: snd collecting of the conscripts ivoulj devolve upon tho tonleueiato officers, which might kail lo resistance aud blnodabciL Soifh Carolina is a sovereign Sta'e.
