The Militia Again.

Without designing to be dlctatoral, we beg leave
to reerate our convictions that the crisis demands
absolutely that the entire militia Of the State should
be required to drill at least week. in companies
for the next six months. Regmental or battalion
drills should be required every two or three months
Our militia constitute the National Guard Of the
Republic Upon the efficiency Of our militia sys-
TEN depends the ready supply Of soldiers for the
army, and the success of the war. If we design to
II axe it efficient and at all available in this crisis, it
is high time that our State militia was thoroughly
organized aud drilled. But if we intend it to be
what it has been, the sooner it is abandoned the
better. But it must be made efficient. Every con-
sideration of patriotism, of duty and interest," de-
mands it. The law must be vigorously enforced,
and what it lacks to give it vgor the Executive or
the Convention must infuse into it.
Especially must the fines and penalties be en-
forced No individual who is not exempted by law,
no matter what his position NAV be, should be al
lowed to escape its severest penalty. Men Of intel
liaepce and substance who have most to lose if this
war should prove DISASTROUS are doing more damage
to the success of the militia system than all other
things They dislike the drill-it is irksome, it is
not very hatterng to their pride, as if they were
better than other people to shoulder musket. Let
the law he rigidly enforced against them in every
instance Let no case go unpunished. and let US
have militia system that will do honor to the State
and the age.
But why? why organize and drill the militia ?
Let it be bone in mind that twothrds of the pre-
sent Southern army are twelve months soldiers
Should the war last a year,-and so far as we can
now see, it may last five or ten years-but few of
them will return into the army Immediately. But
the militia be regularly drilled, it will be far easier
to fill up their places by new recruits from that
quarter than if they left at loose ends to drill
or not. If this be not done there must be resort
to the draft to fill up the army The regular drill
will inspire martial spirit. Our militia will soon
begin to feel that they are not SO green, and their
ambition will be excited to excelin drill and disci-
pline ,
Again. systematic and persistent effort to re-or-
ganze and drill the entire militia thoroughly for the
next six months, will give class Of soldiers who
I can be relied on in any emergency. The burden
might fall heavily upon our poor, laboring people,
but arrangements accommodate the drill to their
convenience can be made which would not bear

Pay Of the Army.


We have frequently expressed the opinion that
the pay of prieates in the Southern army was too
meagre and mean for a patriotic and magnanimous
people. Our soldiers are not hrelng mercenaries.
Were not this war for the maintenance of princi-
pie and constitutional lberty-for the defence of
our property, our lives and our sacred honor, at
least threefourths of our present soldiers would not
be found in the ranks. They have rushed to the
field at the call Of patriotism leaving their business
their interests and their families to the mercy and
the risks of the war; for the sole purpose of defend
ing their rights. We contend, therefore, it is
OF sacrifice, and should he so managed. All that
our soldiers ask, is ordinary food ard raiment and
necessary provision for their own health and the
protection and support of their families who may
be needy. 1t is well known that the provision made
for our soldiers and s1l per month wages, is not
enough to satisfy reasonable and Just claim. Our
officers, as a general thing make few sacrifices.
The honors of the field are sough. to crafty their
ambition and to build fortunes in the future. Yet
their pay is greater than many of them who are
mere civilians can make in any other pursuit, du-
ring the war. Indeed, some of them have sought
official positions, because their former vocations
failed to pay them. We believe that the financial
exigencies of the government we'll as the charac
ter of the war, demand some reduction of the pay
of our officers, and surely their patriotism ought to
prompt them to propose the reduction. But some
persons say, and have heard officers urge it as
plea, that the prvates of army receive as large
pay proportionably as the officers. They have been
deceived ty the aggregate estimates made up for
the cost of an army. In this estimate each private
is set down costing $1,000 per annum. But in
this estimate is incl aided the expense of equipping
ammunition, transportation, &C., whereas, private
does not receive in pay for his services embracing
food, clothing and wages, more than $500 per an
NUN. The pay of the officers of regiment, of
which there are too many, is at least one third the
cost of the entire regiment Why this vast differ
cnce? Is it rights it just? We think no just
man can so decide. Of course we allude to the
officers and privates in this war; Under other cir
cumstances where privates are merely hirelings, We
should offer objection to the pay of the officers.
1t is high time that the attention of our whole
people were directed to this matter The Confede-
rate Congress will soon re-assemble and i. is i'm.
portant that its attention should be directed to it.
We are glad to see that Tennessee is moving in this
matter Her Legislature has instructed her dele.
gates to vote for increase of the pay of prvates
Our Legislature should have done the same. Let
the ball be started, and lie: the thing be done.

New Hanover and Brunswick alone were called out
by Gen. Anderson. Those of Columbus, Bladen,
Simpson, Duplin, Robeson, etc" were also called
out says the Journal, and they responded readily
to the call. The Journal says that Gen. A. derson

The Black Flag.

In modern times the black flag has never been
raised except the ensign of the prate-the heart
less freebooter Of the high seas Christian nations
have ignored it-even the American savage, if cog
infant of its meaning lets fall his uplited tomahawk
at the sight Of the white flag. The spirit Of our
holy Christianity the God whose aid we implore
in this contest in meetings Of devotion and on
our fast days, pledges mercy to the vilest and the
most wretched, who ask mercy. The black flag
asks no mercy and gives none.
The rumor has prevailed for some days both in
the newspapers and in private circles that the black
Hag has been raised by our people on the coast of
South-C Carolina and Georgia More recent private
information indicates that it is So and it is further
reported that retaliation the Yankee feet has also
run up the black flag. We are 10th to believe it.
Such an event must fill every thoughtful mind with
the gloomest forebodings.
Such step, except as a dcrnier retaliafory
measure, to our minds ignores all our previous po-
sitions in reference to the proper conduct of the
war-al the frequent positive declarations of Presi
dent Davis and shuts the door of sympathy against
us by the Christian nations of Europe. The pleas
Of our European commissioners must utterly fail of
reaching their ears, if we pull down tie stars and
bars, and rear in its stead the black flag.
Had our troops fallen upon the miscreant vaga-
bond soldiery Of Lincoln and utterly annihilated
them when they assailed helpless and innocent peo-
pie at Alexandria or Hampton, other points, and
murdered them in cold blood, or when they de-
spoiled female virtue, it would have been but fit
visitation of retributive justice. If the Lincoln
forces at Port Royal were to be attacked in an at
tempt to and excite to insurrection the servile
population of that region, in committing any
other barbarous offence against the law of nations,
and our troops were to visit upon them condign
punishment, the whole civilized world would Justify
their utter extinction. If Lincoln should hang our
privateers, our government would be sustained by
all nations in hanging an equal number of their
prisoners of war; The justice and the necessity of
all these can be made palpable. But why raise the
black flag to advertise the enemy in advance, when
we can visit justice upon our enemies quite as we'll
without it? Why cast ourselves beyond the pale
Of Christian nations? Why infame the Southern
or Northern mind with bloody, exterminating hate
thousandfold hotter than it is? Above all, Why
run the risk of provoking God, whose wrath We
should appease, and whose help we should inccs
sanity implore?

"There are many persons traversing the noun

cles at lower price than they could obtain them
for, if the persons from whom they purchase knew
that they were spectators. Our people are dis
posed to sell at moderate price to the government
but they do not like the idea of being imposed upon
by spectators"
Why is it that the names of all duly authorized
agents of the State and Confederate governments
are not published? The public ought 10 know who
are the agents and who not Ifthis is not done,
We would suggest to our friends to publish the
names of all professed agents, who do not give

OF dark forgetfuluess and deep oblivion"
Mr.. Arlington, the member elect, has received
very attering vote for which he is no doubt CRATE
some knowledge Of Mr.. Arlington. and especially
on his course member of the Convention that
the people of the District will have no cause to re-
gret that they have thus honored him. We believe
lie will prove true to his pledge to know party
in this crisis and that he will serve the District
faithfully and acceptably. He is gentleman of
well known ability and experience, and besides, he
is conservative in his feelings. as was shown by his
course in the Convention. and his recent speeches
hefnre the people. Some feeling has existed in the
minds Of some against Mr.. Arlington, on the sup
position that he was original secessionst who
preferred or desired to dissolve the Union. This
supposition is not we'll founded. Mr.. Arlington
stated the stump that lie had hopes of the Union,
and was anxious for its preservation, up to the ad
iournment of the Peace Conference but that, when
that body adjourned without ehecting settlement,
he despaired He differed therefore, with the great
body of the old Union men, only as to time; for,
when they concluded, which all of them did in April,
that the Union was no longer worth preserving, they
despared also, and with Mr. A. struck for its disso
luton and the establishment Of new government
We are free to say that while We do not approve
all that Mr. Turner has said and done omitted to
do, yet we regard him as patriot and a man Of
more than ordinary talents-of strong will, and
directness of purpose. lie has-as all such men
have-warm friends and bitter enemies Though
in the military service, offering his purse and his
life for the common defence, he is assaed and held
up as untrue to the South! If these people who
| make this charge had any sense Of decency or
| shame about them, they would at least hold their
unhallowed mouths while Turner and men like
him, are keeping the battle from their doors.
