Mr. EDITOR The present condition of the coun-
try has induced me to observe some of the difficult
ties in the way of many brare men in taking up
arms in the defence of their State and her liberties.
Some men who four and six months past were ready
for the conflict and only asked an opportunity to
prove to the world their patriotism, are now seek
ing out the dark and quiet places to hide their heads
from the dense cloud overhanging their country
have seen others always ready to advise their neigh
bors to rush to the field Of battle but never quite
prepared to adopt their own advice. 1t is obvious
that there are some obstacles in the way of such
persons and obstacles Of a very grave nature,
such patriots could not have been kept out of the
line Of duty so long, when thousands of their past
associates have left all behind and are breasting
disease and death in defence of their country. If
the battles for Southern independence are ever 20
be successfully fought, it is high time the men to
fight them giving up their quiet places and
taking the field and the tent. But say those brave
men, there are some difficulties in our way. What
these difficulties? One gives as his difficulty
young wife at home who cannot go with him, and
cannot be left behind; hence man and wife must
both stay at home Another says he has had one
of his arms fractured little toe dislocated, and
therefore he is not tit for soldier if running is to
be done, or heavy hoeing and spading are needed.
third declares that he is nervous even in times of
peace, and if he should volunteer or be called out
by the Governors draft he fears it might unhinge
his mind and place him in the asylum. Others
have little official dignities to attend to, such as
keeping village post Offices, the labors of which might
be easily accomplished by men and women two
score and ten years. Others are truly patriotic,
but cannot show their patriotism only in some high
State or government office.
Such are some of the little difficulties in the way
of many men in making up their minds to do their
parts in the present difficulties Of the land. The
cause of the South can never be defended until men
come out from behind such fmsy pretexts If
office and money are to be the great incentives to
action in the present struggle, then it would be well
for the people to know it, and let them prepare in
time for the worst. N. y.

un!eers short time since deserted his company,

state that there is not the shadow of truth in the
be lie Mr.. Mcdaniel has been, and we are sure
will continue to be- one of the truest and best SOL

at all times cheerfully and faithfully to perform
every duty devolving upon him, he is an ornament
to the company, and is not now. nor has he ever
been in the least suspected of being untrue to the
cause in which we are engaged. No Southern man
is more completely Southern in all his instincts,
sentiments and principles; and when such men as
Mcdaniel desert We shall despair of the indepen-
dence of the Southern Confederacy. Yes, Mcdaniel
is man of unblemished moral character of tho
highest integrity, and model soldier, and is we'll
known as such to all who are acquainted with him.
We cannot imagine how any one could have sunk
SO low as to put such falsehood in circulation.

QuEER.-We learn that 80 of the blankets sent
from this place were used to fit out company at
Raleigh from Brunswick county. What we regard
as queer about it is, that any company should have
started from home without a supply of blankets
that the people should have allowed such thing.
AS to the particular appropriation thus made, we
have no doubt that it will be altogether approved
of by the donors, who, though they probably anti

SENSIBLE EIEws.-We find the following excel
lent thoughts in an editorial of the Georgia Com
monaoealth:
Party lines are wiped out now-or at least
should be- We hope they are, for then choice of
the best can be made without being blindedby party
prejudice. The great questions may now be pro-
pounded :" Is he honest-is he faithful-is he capa-
ble?"
mans private life is good index to what will
be his public life. He who has been just and hon.
est gocerned by principle in his private relations,
will carry the same with him into public life He
who has been careful and frugal, and economical
not parsimonious-in his private affairs and expen-
ditui es, will carry these important qualities with
him into the public service Ifcareful in investiga
ting his private accounts to see that they are ac-
curate and pays them promptly, it may be expect
ed that he will be c2nscentiously scrupuous in ex-
aiming all claims against the State, and equally
careful that no unnecessary appropriations are made
If christian and not afraid to let it be known
everywhere, without however, obtruding it impro-
perly upon those around him, you may be sure he
will not from the discharge of his duty, no
matter wha: the risk to person, to property, or
to reputation. 1t is very rarely that you will find
a man who will let his light shine under all cir
cumstanees, and the rarity of this virtue should
cause us to prize it highly"

Why HAVE THE LAWS NOT BEEN PRINTED ?-1s
there such person at Raleigh as State Printer
If so, why have not Laws tina: were enacted at the
Regular session, and the called term in the Spring.
been made public? What is he for but to publish
the Laws within reasonable time? We learn from
member, that the Legislature, recently had to
draw from memory, what was transacted at the ses-
sion which assembled in the Spring! Who knows
what is law? How are the people to be governed
by law? But for the acts which have leaked out
through the newspapers, from time to time the
legislation Of the past two years would be sealed
book. Again we impure, what is the use for State
Printer? Is he employed for party purposes, mere
ly? Is he Prime Minister to the present Governor,
as he was to the late incumbent? to be consulted
and give advice for redstrctng the State, electing
Senators, &c. The people desire to inquire into
these matters, and when they understand them cor.
rectly, perhaps they will correct the abuse The
State Printerfor We learn that there Is such per-
sonage-fnds ample time to volunteer his services
in behalf of his party, although the laws I'M
published. Party, with him, is supreme, the peo-
pie, who pay taxes and support Government
ing! But in this, the dog only resembles his mas
ter; and the master bears a strong resemblance to
the dog. The officials about Raleigh some of them,
had been too much taken up with party, and secu.
ring the 1oaves and fishes, to pay any particular at
tention to the welfare of the State. So.
Until PARTY in the State is crushed out politi-
clans and demagogues will usurp the high places,
and the people will be burdened with heavy taxes
to the end of time and cheated of their liberties in
the bargain. The man who is a party man, and 40.
peals for his success for any Office to party in the
Confederate States, is demagogue and cheat and
should be Stunned by honest men.-lredeU En-
