in them. We are little off the railroad and con-
sequenty not in the excitement as those directly on
the road but our people are sure, il slow. Salem
ano Winston form two companies think the county
will certainly turn out one or two more at least
Our friends Messrs. F. & H. Fries will furnish bo;h
companies with their make of cloth for uniforms

is at your service ce"-Fay. Observer.
SOUTHERN PRINTING ISk.-The Atlanta (Georgia)
Commonwealth says: We were shown, on Friday
last, specimen of very fine red printing ink, man
ufactured by Messrs. Massey Lannell Of this city,
The color is bright, the body would appear to be
good, and it appeared to distribute" freely and
evenly.
The same frm is also manufacturing and is pre-
pared to supply black ink at short notice, in guam
tity and of quality desired
Let publishers now come forward and extend to
those enterprising pioneers in this business the
couragement the true interests of both parties so
plainly dictate We know nothing about their
prices, but presume they are as low as any, But
should they not be, consumers should bear in mind
that if they are favored with large orders and
large business, they afford their ink at q smaller
per centum profit.
RALEIGH PERCUSSION CAP FAcroRY-Owing to
the skill Of Professor Emmons in making the COM
position, and the mechanical dexterity of Mr. Charles
Kuester in using it for the requisite purpose, we
shall have much of that article so essential in
war, percussion caps, as we may need. We have
seen a specimen of the caps, and they fully answer
the end in view. Prof Emmons has aAo suggested
the mode Of manufacturing any quantity ofXhe
right sort of powder. This is beginning of enter
prises by Southern people to supply themselves
with those things for which they have been so long
dependent on their Northern enemies WAshail
expect to tanneres, manufactures Of leather of
CLOTH of hats and every requisite for the comforts
and necessities Of life springing up all over the
South.-Register. ,e-.s'
Lincoln's last proclamation assumes the power to
increase the Army and Navy, in spite of all laws
limiting the same, to any amount he may choose
He persists in refusing to recognize the actual con.
eign States who hold their own citizens to State
allegiance by State laws anything else but mere
Instruction or illegal collection Of individuals -
The folly, the Madness the guilt of this, cannot be
surpassed. And his assumption of the power he
now wields, is destructive to the rights and lber-
