TIE CONNECTION OF THE R. AND d. RAIL
ROAD WITH THE n. Z. CENTRAL ROAD.
Editor Of the NJ G. Standard:
know you to be native North Carolinian And
everything that concerns the interest and welfare Of
North-Caroina, concerns you. Then hear me for
my cause.
You are aware that President Davis, in his late
admirable message, recommended the construc-
ton OF a connecting Railroad from Danville Va,
to GreenSbOrough, n. G. Now, as a stakeholder in
the Central Road | am opposed to the connection
at Greensboro lSt, because it would be tapping the
Central Road too high up, and result in cutting its
throat Are North-Carolinians prepared to see
Road built by the Confederate government that will
ruin the Central Roadg If they are, let the Dan.
1iAe, Va, connection be made! But secondly |
am opposed to the Danve and Greensboro con-
nection not only because it taps the Central Road
% miles higher up than there is any necessity for,
but because it IS at least II miles further than the
Road lately chartered by State Legislature from
BarEsdale's depot to the Company Shops. put it
to you sir to say, if passenger reach Richmond
II miles nearer ola the Shops and Milton, than by
the Danvle route if that is not the route the Road
ought to run? The saving to the Confederate Gov
ernnent If the war continues long, will pay the
cost Of building the Road! And look you at the
saving to the Central Road by tapping it at the
Shops instead of at Greensboro-22 miles higher
holders-wil North CaroliniaDs-shut their eyes to
their O9n INTEREST," If the Milton route (al-eady
chartered,) is The nearest, tie best, dnd tie most
cOnducice to The Central ROads Interest will it be
rejected? For what purpose The traveller can
save IL miles OF Railroad travel from Greensboro TO
Richmond ciu the Shops and Milton, and our Gen.
trail Road can have the benefit Of % miles more
travel-why put the traveller to an extra expense,
and Toss IF tias-and why deny the Central Road
the advantage of p mileSY pause for reply
But sir, thus is not all that may be cited in favor
Of making the connection by the chartered route
from Milton to the Shops. II I am not misIuforu-
ed there is Railroad in contemplation from the
Shops to the Coal Feds of Chatham. This would
give the Confederate government direct Railroad
line from Richmond to Fayetteville Let the Con-
federate government take this TACT into consideration
and go to work and build this Road as we'll as the
"Connection" s..s-r A. 1872
We were proceeding to build the Road from
Barksdales ciG Milton to the Shops when that mis-
cradle old fool who dsgraces the Presidential Chair
at Washington, thrust a civil war upon us. At the
first blast of the bugle,nOtes of war, the Caswel
men laid down the Books for Railroad subscription
and flew to arms. Hundreds Of her noble SONS are
in the field who have gone with the intention
of conquering peace, and returning to build this
Road for which they procured charter at the late
regular session Of the last Legislature. Let us have
it, for the reasons above hastily set forth.

Runcombe and Yancey all Hail !

A correspondent of the Spirit Of the Age, writing
from Swananoa, says: --nss.....s.
"Buncombe has furnished four Colonies, Cling
man, Lee, T. B. and R. B. Vance, and between eleV-
en- and twelve hundred men and boys; for boys only
fourteen or fifteen years old have run away from
their parents and entered the ranks like men. Yam
cy county has scarcely enough men left to gather
the present crop of corn. A volunteer from that
county told me a few days ago, that in his neghbor
hood there was not enough left to make a log heap
or raise a cabin; out of fortythree on the muster
roll. forty had volunteered. Nearly half the Yancy
volunteers left wives and children behind"
The same writer abiding to the sufferings of
some of our troops, presents the following extract
from letter from one of Col. Lees regiment in
Northwestern Virginia: .-~-.
liam sitting on a rock by log fire. 1t is dark
and foggy and pretty cold, and am barefoot.
have walked my shoes entirely off; my socks are
in strings, and the next time you hear from me,
may be off at the knees. have been living, eating
and sleeping most of the time for three weeks, with
nothing for shelter the broad arch Of Heaven,
which has proved to be bad cover from the storm
that has pelted us poor soldiers as though we were
beasts of the forest Notwithstanding the hard
ships and priyations have to endure, we bear it
all without word willing to serve our country in
any capacity best to her welfare We are still zeal
Gus in the cause OF liberty; willing to sacrifice
friends and property yea, even our lives IN irving
to rid our country of the demons that infeSt It.
Notwithstanding there has been such an outpour-
ing Of volunteers froH the mountains, and such
quantity of clothing given by the ladies' as has been
given, there are some tories in the same region,
and some that wish to fight for Iptundsr.---
Some that cried loudest for the war, IN the
beginning, were only DESTROYS for an opportunity to-
fill their pockets while others cried against resist
ance for fear OF losing what they already bad.
A poor volunteer who has a small family, went to
a merchant who seemed very patriotic few months
ago for small quantity of leather to shoe his wife
and children, and the merchant would not divide
the sides from fearof njuring the sale of the other
parts It was little thing but little things sho@
the man the plainest All such men, and all specus
lators at such times as these, ought to pull hemp
side by side with the tory that takes up arms against
his country.

We sincerely hope that the ordinance proposing
test odth to be taken by all the citizens of this
State not actual military service, will meet with
Almost signal defeat Indeed, we cannot see how
any one can vote for it. more mischievous meas
ure we cannot conceive Of The Yankees have been
taught to believe that there is considerable Union
sentiment IN North Carolina, which 10 only kept
down BY terrorism. We know that such Is not the
fact and that there is no State more loyal to the
Southern Confederacy, and more dstefnined never
to reunite with the Yankees, than North Carolina.
Why, then, propose a test oath Why confirm the
Yankees in their impression that large number of
the people of North Carolina can only be kept true
to the eonfederacy by foree-by the machinery of
test oaths, &cr We conceive that the proposition
of such an oath to a citizen would be as gross an
insult to him. as the proposition Of an toath to
woman that she would maintain her chastity would
be to her. In plain English, this is the oath II

Mr.. EDITOR: In the Standard of the 23d ult,
saw article upon the subject of the Stay-law, in
which the writer says $50 far as my intercourse
extends there is almost a universal sentiment that
some Legislative action for reliefis necessary. Some
believe the policy to be for the Confederate govern
ment during the blockade to purchase with Treasu-
~ notes the cotton and tobacco crops" &c lsgree
with the writer that it is necessary for the people
to be protected. We already have Stay-law with
which the people are satisfied. IL the cotton and
tobacco interests are protected by the Convention,
what will become of the graIn-growers, who are
much the largest class of farmers in this State p
We have thousands Of farmers in the western por-
ton of the State who deserve much protection as
the cotton and tobacco growers. If the Convention
should repeal the Stay-law, and do not enact some
law in its stead to protect the leope, very large
number Of the people in Western North Carolina
will be entirely ruined. Nine .tenths of the people
are more or less in debt, and if they are not pro-
tected by law there is no telling what amount of
distress may be brought about Most of the other
Southern States have some kind of Stay-law, and
why may not the people of North Carolina be pro-
tectedas well as the people 10 our sister States Il
understand of the most learned jurists in this
State says that the present law Is constitutional
The people had no idea when they voted for dele
gates to the Convention, that they were sending
men to Raleigh tolegislate for them. They expec-
ted that the delegates would go to Raleigh, pass an
ordinance oil secession, ana otner ordinances TO car
ry il out, and return home. In this however, they
have been mistaken instead of doing nothing more
than was expected, they have actually commenced
for which the people viii hereafter hold
them accountable. If the Convention should repeal
the ay-law, will here venture prediction that
those who vote for repeal from the west will heap
Thousand and thousands of curses upon their heads,

DEAR SIR: The great scarcity of salt has caused

cessary article; the people in my county are digging
up the dirt Of their smoke houses and dripping it
through straw and bundles of sticks, after which
boil liquor down to salt. Some have made from five
TO fifteen bushels, in this way, for home consump-
Stion. '"7 -..'a's'. r. ~. .a

small sticks at the bottom Of the BARREL put wheat,
rye or sedge straw upon the sticks and then fill
the barrel with dirt taken from smoke house. after
being ieached thoroughly, take the water and boil
down to salt which is justsHke the original Turks
Island. In many old sinoke-houses 30 bushels Of
salt can be manufactured in this simple way, which
will supply the immediate wants of the family. A.
