w- The experience of every commun;t

az The experience of every community,
proves that the two free use of ardent spirits
as a beverage, is the greatest of all curses,
and every place where liquor is sold in q
community is a public nuisance. The more
we see of the improper use of ardent spirits
the more We abhor the practice and the more
we detest liquor dealing. The advancement
of morality is more retarded and the power
of the Gospel more neutralized by LIQUOR
sellers and liquor drinkers than every other
evil combined. And the greatest hindrance
to the success of our armies is the habit of
drinking to excess. We would to God that
all the alcoholic liquors in the Southern Con
federacy could be removed beyond the limits
of the new Republic, and that no more could
be introduced, then would we be a happy
and prosperous people. Down with liquor
selling and liquor drinking.

PowDER AND LEAF IN NoRrH CARoLIEA.-
We learn from the State Journal that Gov.
Clark recently ordered Prof. Emmons on an
exploring tour, with a view to ascertain
whether and where a supply Of lead and the
essential elements Of power, suited to the
present sxigcncies, could be obtained : and
the result is most cheering. Professor
Emmons reported, taat he is fully satisfied
that enough ofthese munitions of war can
be obtained 70 shoot all the Yankees and
tyrants IN the world. In view of this, so
satisfactory are the prospects that a company
has already commenced, or will soon com.
mence the erection ola powder mill at q
point in North Corolina, Gov. Clark having
contracted for a large quantity of powder Al
a fixed price.

Affairs in Washington City.

By a gentleman Just arrived from Wash
ington, says the Richmond Examiner the
report that we published some days ago to
the effect that the entire military force in
Washington and Alexandria did not exceed
81 5000 men, is fully confirmed. No reinforce
ments had reached Washington city up to
Sunday last, other than some Regiments of
the Pennsylvania reserve, already referred
to, and Sickle's Excelsior" Brigade. The
Government was in great alarm. 1t was at
tempting in various ways to conceal its weak
ness by disseminating false reports of rein
forcements through the Northern newspa-
pers, and by marching regiments from point
to point, through the streets, to create the
impression of the arrival of reninforcements.
1t was generally estimated in Washington,
outside of the misrepresentation and sup
pressions in official quarters, that the Federal
loss in the two battles of the 18th and 21st
ultimo in killed wounded and missing, amoun-
ted to twenty thousand. The three-fourths
of the population of Washington are repre-
scented as being in a state bordering on re-
volt while the Lincoln army is demoralized
and constantly making demonstration of mu-
tiny. One of the Pennsylvania Regiments
in Banks column has been entirely disban.
ded through the mutiny of the men. The
fact is confirmed beyond a doubt that the
Lincoln army lost all its field batteries in the
rout at Manassas, with the exception ofsomt
pieces of the Rhode Island Battery.
The report Of the hanging of two Soutl
Carolinians, and another prisoner, by tn,
Lincoln forces, is substantiated by the mos
direct evidence. They were hanged nea
Centreville by a Connecticut Regiment, sup
posed to be the Fourth. The evidence of thi
atrocious deed is the most direct character
having been conveyed to our informant,
respectable magistrate, by an eyewitness
The victims of this hellish revenge wer
hanged by the cords of the drums of tn
regiment. The preference for the barbarou
execution was that they had attempted
escape.
1t is asserted to us that NOTWITHSTANDING
the studied misrepresentation in ofici
quarters and in the columns of the northe,
newspapers of the results of the campaig
the people in Washington are fully aware
the extent of the disasters of the Linco
Government, and are anxi Gus to abandon
refugees Gin that merely peculiar spirit, (,
fear, however, in which rats abandon a sin
ing ship) The graveyard of Alexandl
: is said to attest the carnage at Vienna, t
dead having been buried there in pits kno,
to contain hundreds of them.
1t was understood in Washington that G,
Scott has been practically retired and IL
=, the campaign would be conducted over
head by Mcclellan.

A GRoAN IN ADvANcE-A "WuALtNG"
ANT1cIPATED.-The Louisville Journal of the
9th inst, says:
"The indications seem to be that the Tex
as, Arkansas, and Missouri troops under Nc
Culloch, and the Tennessee troops under
Gen. Polk or Gen. Pillow, will, within two
or three days, if not even sooner, combine
and attack Birds Point and Cairo. To US.
with such limited knowledge as we possess,
the probabilities appear to be that both of
these places will be carried. In the first
place, we believe that the United States force
will be attacked by a vastly superior force,
and, in the second place, we presume that
the Confederates will have greatly the adyan-
tage in artillery.
The truth is, the Confederates cali have
just what artillery they please. They have
for month, thanks to their activity and audac-
ity in the work of seizure and confiscation,
had more steamboats, in and near Memphis
than they knew what to do with. Moreover
they have at Memphis, Fort Randolph, Fort
Harris, &C., at least thirty or forty columbiads,
and other guns of tremendous calibre, TAX Ken
by railroad from Fort Sumter and other forti-
fcations in Charleston harbor. Well, by
means of their steamboats,, they can take JUS
ao ui"iiy VI hoh "lo gums as lley please TIC
any point near the mouth of the Ohio, and
if they can find three or three and a hall
miles from Cairo a position at all favorable,
that is a position in sight of those places, they
can, for aught we can see, lombard them Al
pleasure without the slightest danger from a
ball or she'll il return.
1t may be that General Fremont and Gen
Prentiss have effectually guarded agairs
such a danger, but We have no information
of their having done so. Beyond all doub
the Confederate troops are confidently antic
ipating a victory.

Burning Of Hampton.

Concerning the act Of burning Hampton by |
tho Confederates. the Richmond Examiner
truly says " Tho act win be yariously
judged, bat the majority Of virginians win
highly approve It. That unfortunate village
had become a nest and q shelter to the army
Of mara0derz who hold Old Point and the
neighbOring lands The lawful inhabitants
had long since fed. What they had left boz
hind had been pillsged; their houses had
been detled and dismantled. For some time
since the village of Hampton had been Of
great service to The enemy and an equal in
jury to the Southern cause. It had become
the rendezvous and colonial headquarters Of
many hundreds of stolen negroes who win
now have to be taken into the fort or thrown
on the amiable philanthr opists at the North
who will no doubtreceive sucha cargo with
much satisfaction.
So far from deploring the destruction Of
that interesting village, we think it is to be
regretted that in evacuating Alexandria with,
out a struggle, we de did not have at least
the sad courage to burn that town also. Bet
ter in ashes than stand to be the home, the
protection, and the provision-house Of the in
vader. He should find only a desert in hi
march to the South. The owners of proper
ty lose nothing by it's destruction at our hands
The country ngnst one day make good thei
losses, if the country survives this war; an
if we are subjugated. they will still lose
nothing, for the laws Of the United State
confiscate eve IN the land on which their house
stand.
The Russians who burned their city an
wasted the soil before the march OF conquel
or, had not half our reason to 10 so. Ha
Napoleon conquered the Gar, the farm'
and the citizen would have still have posses
ed his goods in peace; but if the Norther
invasion is consummated, and what the Go
eminent at Washington calls rebellion
put down, the people of the Southern Cor
federacy will have nothing, absolutely nothiI
that they can call their own. Their ruin W
be not less complete than that of Souther
Europe when over run by the barbarians
Scandinavia. 1t is no longer a speculate
it is the declaration of the law-that t
victors in this law shall literally divide Il
spoils, and that the vanquished shall suf
a fate unknown to modern nations and 70
gotten by the world since fifteen hundr
wears

n. G. STATE BoNDs.-In view of the fact
hat the Northern Congress has passed a bill
for con6scating property owned by Southern
people, Gov. Clark should see that not a
cent of interest is paid on N. G. bonds owned
by or in the hands of Northern men. The
Treasurer should not be permitted to pay a
dollar to Northern b~ond-holders. Besides.
the State authorities should immediately seize
all the property in this State owned at the
North, such as gold mines, lands, houses, &c.
The confscation law passed by the Lin
c~olnites, contains a provisions for the abol-
ishment of slavery. The objects of the ad-
ministration are nowunmistakable, and every
Southern man must resolve to die rathe,
than submit to the government at Washing
ton.

Good for Wake County.

We have been asked frequently how many
Companies old Wake, the metropolitan coun-
ty, has furnished for the war? From the
following statement in the Standard, it will
be seen she is not behind any county in the
State, perhaps, in sending gallant men into
the field
There are already in service from Wake
county the following companies: Oak City
Guards, Capt. Faribault; Raleigh Rifles,
Capt. Harrison; Ellis Artillery, Maj. Ram
seur; Wake Grays, Capt. York a company
commanded by Capt. Rand, and one by Capt.
Weatherspoon. In addition to this Capt.
Foote, Capt. Belts, and Capt. Grissom have
completed their companies and we learn
that Mr.. Devereux has some 10 men, Wesley
O. Smith. 40, George w. Trice about 40, anG
that there are 80 to so enrolled in other parts
of the codrty. We learn also that Maj. w
D. Jones' Kemp P. Battle, andJohn H. Bry
an, Jr., Equires, are engaged in raising com
panies.
Wake has, therefore, about 1000 mel
either in the field or nearly ready for it,
Her gallant4sons are doing heir duty. ]
absolutely necessary, Wake can turn out a
many more.

We learn that Prince Napoleon visited the
Confederate. Generals at Manassas on Thurs
day last. He wrs attended by the French
Minister, MERCER, and a suit of four gentle
men. He came to Fairfax Courthouse in the
afternoon, and was escorted to General John
ston's headquarters, near Manassas, where
he spent the night. On Friday he visited the
battlefield lin company with Generals Beau

its record of Mayors Court:
John w. Pollard was charged with be-
ing drunk in the street and DESERVING from a
North Carolina regiment. He admitted that
he had imbibed too freely, but denied that he
was a d~eserter, or had any idea of abandon
ing his company. If We are not mistaken,
this is the first instance of the arraignment
of a North Carolina soldier in our police
court. The troops from that State have not
only been the best equipped, but they have

WHY?-While Brigadiers are as plenty as
hops from other States, we find but one from
North Carolina, Gen. Holmes, holding that
rank in the Confederate service. There will
soon be full twenty regiments of North Car
DINA troops in the field in Virginia, and vet
apparently without that recognition so Law
ishly bestowed upon others
We are informed that even in the case of
Col. Hill of the First n. G. Regiment. the
Confederate government has failed to confirm
the action Of the North Carolina authorities.
although, in truth, Mr.. Hill was the hero of
4 the first really important and decidedly glo-
rious contest of the war.
Of course we all know that Col. Hill is
given to many words, much preaching, and
blathering, foolish sneers at newspapers
whose columns his own verbose reports
would monopolize, but Col. Hill apart the
courtesy Of confirming him is due to the
State Val Journal.
The Charlotte Democrat copies the above
unjustifiable and truthless assault upon Col.
D. H. Hill, Of the LIST Regiment N. G. Vol
~unteers, and adds:
There may be some cause for the com.
plant contained in the first paragraph of the
above, but that in the second paragraph is
amistake we think, for we were informed some
time ago, that President Davis had COM
missioned Col. Hill as Brigadier- General
But our friend of the journal is certainly
very much mistaken in his impressions as
conveyed in the last paragraph. Col. Hill
has been one of the most unassuming, mos
r tentations men we ever knew, considering
. the reputation he has for military skill and
= bravery. This is a subject of remark among
all who know him about here where he has
lived for some years. He is not liable tc
the charge of being given to many words
much preaching and blathering, foolish
sneers at newspapers Like all other sensi
BILE men, we suppose, he don't admire a con
tinual stream of newspaper puffs. But we cal
assure the Journal that it has entirely misap
&c pehended Col. Hills character.
