Nix HobDEN-- Dear Sir: In precious communica-
ton attempted briefly to show the Inconsistency OF
the 'Stay Law" in relation to the " Sequestration
act of Congress. That the operations of the former
willmaerally interfere WITH if not entirely prevent
the compliance with the provisions of the latter, IS
so apparent that it is not deemed necessary to go in
to the Dinutia, to give even one iustance,) while
many will oceur) where they will come in collision.
The principal reason urged by few debtors,
whose inability or indiSposton to meet the demands
against them, suggested to their minds the policy
and erpediency of legislative enactment which
should prevent the creditor, whose money or goods
and chattles they had and were deriving benefit
from, from forcing them to comply with the prom
Uses to pay for wanting the Legislature to pass
"Stay-law, was the protection Of the soldiers
from the "mercilesss creditors" This plea was
very plausible. This appeal no doubt operated up
on many members of the Legislature, and secured
their support of the bill All this would have been
well enough: it would have been meritorious and
praise-worthy had there existed any necessity for
passing law to secure to brave and Sell-sacri
fcng volunteers that protection to their property
which they deserve, and which every one of them,
doubtless feel they have in the honesty, forbearance
and patriotism of their creditors-to say nothing of
the restraint of public 0piniOh, which Of itself
would prevent such course, as some imag ne would
be pursued by the "mercess creditors" But ad-
hitting that few isolated cases might occur, in
which a greater protection than public opinion
would be required to shield the soldiers property
from the hammer, land not one single instance of
the kind has come to my knowledge so far) is that
sufficient apology for passing a law greatly to the
inconvenience and disadvantage Of another, and
perhaps larger class of our citizens now in the
tented field? | refer to the soldiers who credi
tors and not debtors While this "Stay-law" Sc
to the indebted soldier no special protection
and taror which is not extended, alike, to every
class Of debtors, it deprres the soldiers acho are
creditors Of ecery legal process Of getting money
to support their families. r0hite they IN the
serrice. It's protection and mercy to class, is
exposure and tribuLdtion to another. Thus it will
operate upon those for whom its supporters say it
chiefly intended-and how disastrous its effects
upon the interests of the State at large is almost
beyond the power of Imagination to conceive. 1t
destroys conidence-it destroys credit-it legalizeS
lascality-it encourages fraud 1t is great high
dam erected across the gently flowing stream which
sooner or later must Orer, break through, and
cngulph the people IN ruin and bankruptcy.
Let the Conven ion, when it assemblies in No
vcmber, set it as,e-restore the Courts--re-open
the channels of justice-aboSh the abominable
"Stayaw," and avert the calamity it would bring
upon us. j. NJ. I.

be enabled to buy food and clothing for, and obtain
money abundantly to pay our soldiers. secondly
by it the South will exercise greater influence on
foreign nations, and England and France will soon
see the propriety-yes, the necessity OF breaking
down the blockade. Last: but not least by it the
Confederate government will make clear, sum
amounting to from one hundred and fifty to two
hundred millions of dollars to pay the war debt
which otherwise would necessarily have to be raised
by taxation-and it would thus give us about the
sum of four hundred millions of gold and silver or
its equivalent, circulating IN the Ooulh nave

to tobacco, pitch, turpentine, &c.

out objections to it in all cases better mode may
be suggested, and that the fautfnder will not he
content alone with his objections, but will let the
public have his ideas on the subject do sincerely
hope that the attention of the proper authorities
will be called to the subject at as early day as
possible. A COTTON PLANTER

Boon HILL, Sept %, 1861.
Mr. HOLDEN: In the last issue of the Standard,
find an article headed, "Who is doing the fight
ing" in which am aware of the fact, from what
knowledge have, that injustice has beer done to
portion of our people, whom the writer terms Origi-
nal Secessionists. 1t is useless to PROFOUND ques-
ons to the public that have already been answered
by the lives of so many SecesSioniSts sacrificed
the altar of their country Several battles have
been fought since the commencement of our Difficult
ties, and thus far, success has attended our araS.-
II the writer's statement be true, our army is com
posed of four hundred and fifty Union men 10 fifty
SecesSoniStS. Shame, shame, that any man should
be so lost to reason. Not one word of abuse shall
fall from my lips against old Union men who have
acted so nobly in their country's cause. They de-
serve credit for the stand they have taken in be-
half of the South. But the idea of only fifty Seces
Sonists to four hundred and fifty old Union men, is
preposterous. IF be So will the writer be kind
as to state to the public the fifty by name? lie
further says TO quote his language, that some Of the
secession stripe are not doing much for the cause.
The same will apply TO some Of both stripes. They
will talk and blow about what they will do, but
when they, OF both stripes asked to prove their
words by actions, they Of both stripes, get mad, it
may be because they of both stripes have been
rubbed by our volunteers because they of both
stripes would not defend their country. 1t is true
we have men of both stripes among in a state of
lethargy with regard to our cause and the comfort
of our brave volunteers. Such ought not to be the
case when our lives and property in jeopardy.
Why should the writer fit to abuse portion of
patriotic people, because they fit to differ
with him in political matters? All that he says
with regard to our esteemed friend, a. G. Powell,
is true. He has made sacrifices and been &C
tive in procuring comforts for volunteers. 9th
have devoted much of their time, and contribu-
ted literally to the same cause, which will be known
at proper time without proclaimng it in the streets
and on the house-tops. Party prejudice has done
more to cripple our cause than every thing else
combined. Let it cease to exist until the last Yam
kee is driven from our soil. Then we can draw
party lines and again fill the atmosphere with polit
cal funk, which is curse to any people

PRAIsING.-We never thought that sheep
raising would be Improbable business in this
mountain country. And now that the South
has determined to orerer Its connection with
the North and rely upon Its resources, we must
think that wool raising will be of the most prof
table avocations followed by the Southern people.
These mountain Sides that are covered with a
rich and heavy coat of just such native growth as
will fatten sheep, furnishes better field for an en-
terprise of this kind than can be found elsewhere
And as nearly the whole population, white and
black, will have to wear wooden goods, we think
that capital and enterprise properly expended in
this direction, viii yield abundant profits. Will
