Tho Analogies of, Parties.

In tho war of the Revolution. tho Tories
were the anti war party, precisely as the
Breckenridge or Buttornut Democracy of
tho present day are. They clung to King
George, as tho latter cling TO King Cotton.
In the war oi 1912. the leading Federal
ists-such Of them as assembled in Con-
vention at Harttord-did all they could De-
to cmbsrrass the administration Of James
Madison. just as the Bnt'eTnut Democrats
are labOripg 10 embarrass that of Abraham
Lincoln. Bnt there were many loyal men
among the FedHralists then, as there are
many among those who, two weeks since.
voted for tho Troy ticket. because i: had
the old label of Madison and Jackson upon
it.
At that dav the Democracy we're goncr-
ally known as the Republican party. They
stood bv the Government to man Just as the
Republicans of the prrsent day do and for
so doing the great body of tho nation joined
it. Federalism became practically extinct
aud from 1912 to 1924 there was no &C.
rious opposition TO the Rsbublican candi.
dates for the Presidency.
The present miserable attempts to be.
tray The country into the hands of It's
enemies will send down tho dishonorcd
names Of the men who arc now following in
the footsteps of the tories Of the Revolu
ton. TO tho same Immortality of infamy
notwithstanding the partial triumph they
have stolen in Tho absence of many loyaI
men.
Tho Republicans Of 1912 had more cause
for alarm than We have. The surrender oi
! Hull, like tho numerous shameful affairs Of
q similar kind that have marked the pro
gress of this war, nearly broke them down
hut the gallant conduct of Harrison. Scntt
McDonough. Perry. Decatur. Jackson, and
many others. soon drove those who secretly
sympathized with the enemy TO the wall
Just as few telling blows this fall will put
an end to the Buttcrnut Democracy

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE LEGISLATURE.

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE LEGISLATURE.
We we're much gratfed to see the most clear
manifestation on the part of. the old democratic
members of the Legislature in its organization, to
avoid every indication Of party spirit. This is in
fact just what We have desired and practccd
every since the war commenced. But as We were
pleased by the action Of the members of this good
old party, We were sickened by the action of what
is known as the 'Consel vatve party who signal.
lied themselves BY the most scrupulous organza.
ton, caucusing on everything, from the Speaker
ship to the humblest position in the Legislature.
1t will not be forgotten that these the
onfdence of the people by the advocacy of no
party principles. They made it appear to the peo-
pie that party spirit bad brought the war upon the
country, and we doubt not but that it had its ef.
feet, and yet how strange il is, with all their pled-
ces upon their consciences to avoid party, aud the
experience of the past before their eyes, they havo
gone right into the most intolerant proscriptive
organ iZatiOn.
AS an instance Of this spirit Of intolerance snd
favortism, one Of the principal and most RESPONSE.
bic positions, in that body, filed by ofthe
name aud near relative of the traitor and Sound
rel, I'D Stanley, Abe Lncoln's app9intee to the
chief Executive Of the State.
AS to Mr.. Stanley, the Assistant Clerk OF the
House Of Commons, loyal citizen Of the South,
We make charge. In all probability be may
be as sound as any other gentleman in the State.
But we submit, if his election to so promnenta po
stion in the General Assembly, will not be cOnceiv
ed by the enemy favorable indication Of North
i Carolina's returning to'the Union? Will not Abe
Lincoln tickle jn his sleeve aud say that the Leg
isature is not so much opposed to Dir. Stanley, as
| a military Governor, at last? At all events he
will c~ncude that his family, and perhaps his bro
tber. i. a very popular man in the State. We
are forced to conclude without any other objection
to MIR. Stanly than the one we have indicated,
that the appointment an unfortunate one.

BRIG. GEN. EDWIN PRICE.-A paragraph,
copied from Abolition sheets, has been extensive
ly republished at the South, in relation to Gen.
Edwin Price, which contains bold, groundess
and malignant fasehood. Gen. Edwin Price ne
yer held any commission in the Confederate SER
vice, but an officer in the Missouri State
Guard, which organization is now disbanded. He
was captured on the Usage, last February, while
conducting body of recruits to join Major Gen
eral Price in Arkansas, and confined for
months in the penientiary at Alton, Illinois,
whence he released on. parole. When the
cartel for the exchange of prisoners perfected,
he repaired to the army at Holly Springs Hav-
ing no command, lie did not regard his presence
in the army important, and returned to his
home in Missouri, as citizen, without taking any
oath, or being placed under any restrictions. He
is a true aud gallant man, and has done nothing,
and submitted to nothing which compromise
him in the estimation of his friends.-Juckson
Nississippian.

Superintendent of Common Schools.

of Superintendent of Common Schools
Mr. Fowle from the Judiciary Committee re-
ported back the bin for purchasing provisions with
a substitute. which approprates $500, 900 for that
purpose. The Governor to appoint agents with
fixed salaries, to purchase and distribute the pro-
visions to the families of the soldiers and all other
poor, at prime cost, including transportation, &c.
| Mr. Beal offered an amendment, allowing Com
! missiouers from counties, who have appropriated
money for that purpose to purchase for their poor
at the same rate. Adopted.
Mr. Mckay moved to increase the sum to one
million of dollars. Rejected.
| Nj PEBBLES offered an amendment prohibiting
purchases to be made from spectators, and that
all agents appointed should make oath that they
had not done so during the war. Mr. PEBBLES in
offering this amendment disclaimed any want of
confidence in the Governor, but only wished to
| arm him with authority to swear applicants for
agencies, and thus prevent spectators from OBJ.
| tanning the Office of agent.
| Mr. Worth vas opposed to the amendment, on
the ground that provisions might be in the hands
| Of specuator, which it would be necessary for
the State to purchase to prevent them falling into
| the hands of the enemy
Mr. Fowe opposed the amendment on the
ground OF its impracicability. The agents could
not distinguish between who spectators or
who were not; besides he cared not who had the
provisions he would purchase them at fair rates
for the poor. The clause imposing an oath he
considered as reflection upon the Governor. He
believed that few honest persons, who had even
traded could safely take the oath, while the spec
ulator would not hesitate about it.
Mr. PEBBLES defended the amendment. Specu
lators were now watching the proceedings of The
legislature and Sould take advantage of the op-
porunity. He insisted on the necessity of ad
ministering oath, the Governor might be
approached by friend, and not seeing the appli-
cant, might be easily deceived, and again dis
claimed any reflection upon the Governor.
The amendment was rejected. Ayes "a, noes
A.
Mr. Cowles offered an amendment, providing
that provisions shall not be sold to Commissioned
officers or their families. Rejected.
MIR Shoter, to effect the end proposed by Mr.
Cowles, moved to insert the word "indigent" be-
fore 'families" in the bill. Adopted.
The bill then passed.

OUR CONsCRIPTS COMPARED WITH
THOSE OF EUROPE.


the Drafting laws of the United States. 1t may
be matter of interest to eur citizens to compare
them with those of foreign governments
The regiments of England generally filled
by recruiting, but if these means fail, recourse is
had to the ballot and the requisite number is
drawn from men between II and rs years of age.
The time of service is five years, and in peace the
men can be called out to exercise for from three
to ffty-six days. In time of war the militia is
pacedaon the same footing with the regular army
The general conscripton law Of France embra-
ces all between twenty and twenty-seven years of
age. Substitutes can be offered. The term of
service is four or five years, and fourth part of
the recruits are held as reserve.
In Russia no substitute can be rendered; bat q
discharge can be purchased for thousand rubies.
Estate holders and the higher classes enjoy ex-
emption.. Under the banners all serfs become
free Russia presents almost all the appearance
of vast camp
The laws of Turkey are, in many respects, simi-
lar to those of France. The ballot brings 5000
men under the banners, each conscript order being
made for special district.
Sardinia requires universal service, from the
twentieth year, the men being in two classes-the
ordinanza, for eight years, uninterruptedy, and
the jprivinziah, for six Substitutes arc allowed.
Austria, with an army of 100000 men, of whom
$4,000 are cavalry, has but little need Of severe
drafting regulations Her Cossacks. when 13, 900
conscripts were demanded in 1858, marched
10000 on Vienna. Men are liable, from 20 to
so years of age, to serve in the field, and to go
years, in domestic service.
The son ola Count performs military duty
alongside Of tailors apprentice, in the monarchy
OF Prussia Such is the effect OF the Landwebr
system. The first levy is organized for immediate
service and is drawn from men between thirty six
and twenty-tw years of age. The second levy
Includes those between thirty-two and thirty mine
years. ..-.
/. The States of the German Confederation have
distinct laws. Saxony requires six years service,
with the privilege of substitution. Nassau, Meek
lenburg, Shewerin and Oldenburg are the same.
The laws of Wertemburg render under 80
years liable to serve Electoral Hesse allJws sub
stitutes, and requires citizens from 20 to 80 to
take up arms. Brunswick requires seven years
| service, with two years in the reserve.
The conscripts in Sweden are chosen from all
those capable of bearing arms between 90 and 25
years of age. The classes five in number.
The ballot in Denmark selects those who mus.
serve eight years in the army, including two years
in the reserve. The first levy includes those un
der SO years of age, aud the second those under
45 years.
Universal conscrption is the law of Belgium
The ballot is used aud substitutes are allowed
The term Of service is eight years, of which about
cne halt is spent on turloush.
The war reserve of the Dutch is in three levies
including all those between 25 and 35 years oi
age who are capable of bearing arms.

The LATEST DIscovERY.-We were shown a
specimen of crock salt" which a gentleman, had
brought from Opelika, Alabama. He says that
what now appears to be inexhaustible supply was
accdeuty discovered by gentleman, who broke
rock which he was using in place OF hammer.
The rock had such beautiful crystaized appear
ance that he tasted it, out of curiosity, and to his
surprise found it to be solid rock salt
1t is somewh hat remarkable that while the people
and Legislature of Alabama are making such ex-
ertions to obtain SALT that it exists in the greatest
abundance, not only under the earth but on the
surface A deep cut through hill on the rail-
road has been made, which exposes towering cliffs
on either side, of pure salt, while the
laid on the same substance. From the graphic
description which the gentleman gave of the ex-
citement the discovery. we can almost see the
little city of Opelika standing huge crystal of
sat.-4Hunta Contederacy.
Gov. Pickens of South Carolina received the
following despatch dated Marietta, Ga, November

FHE WAR-The accounts which we receive
from citizens and from returned prisoners, all agree
n the fact, that the enemy is prosecuting the
war with even unwonted barbarity The inhabi-
tants within their lines stripped of'the means
of livelihood, and even OF present support, not
only without remorsc necessity, but by delibe-
rate SYSTEM: Horses: cows, pigs, poultry, meat,
corn, hay, &C., seized by the clean sweep; the
object doubtless being to destroy or drive off our
people, by means Of starvation.
The prisoners who were taken to Washington
and there fell under the keeping Of JallOr Wood,
the same who was here not long ago, as Commits
sioner, report that they inhumanIy treated;
and in addition were robbed, by the Yankee trick
of selling them goods i'll the Washington prison
anI taking them away at Fortress Monroe.
Our prisoners at Washington tampered
with by emissares, and those who were found cap
able of being influenced were cajoled intimida-
ted into taking the Yankee oath of allegiance.
When these were called for, and stepped out of
the line, they were heartily hssed by their fellow
prisoners.
