The Doctors Differ.

The State Journal and Petersburg Express seem
to differ widely about the fitness of our Volunteers
Who have gone to Virginia to 60 to battle. Hear
fhe State Journal:
"GeEtlelnen of the Convention our soldiers have
Zone to Virginia scarcely half prepared for battle
6adly fed, badly clad, badly armed, and without
pace to lay their heads they have gone to fight for
North Carolina"
Now look on this, from the Pet. Espre":
Without drawing invidious distinctions we
pust say that this is the best equipped Regiment
EElch has yet made its route through our city,
Everything seems to have been provided for them

sufficiently so for their own good in their advertise

The Official the State Journal, it seems cannot say
as much. 1t feelingly complains thus:
"The first Raleigh advertisement from the first
Raleigh business man has yet to be sent into the
Office Of the State Journal though circulation is
second to no other paper in the city"
What's the cause? Who's to blame?

The STAY Law.

This law passed by the late Legislature seems not
to meet public favor fully. We perceive the Grand
Jury of Mecklenburg County has called the atten-
ton the State Convention to it We should not be
surprised If that law as well IS other matters of
public interest will claim the attention of the Con.
vention.
