the war, let it be composed of enlisted men; and
for the future, during the war, let US have voun-
teers, we'll paid and vested with the right to choose
their own officers. We believe that at least one
half of the twelve months volunteers from this
State will again enter the service, not for twelve
months, but for the war, if proper inducements
should be held out to them; and that thousands Of
others who have not been IN service, will join them
in forming regiments for the war. This is war OF
the people against arbitrary power-let it be fought
by volunteers. They have shown themselves equal,
thus far, to every emergency. Standing armies
raised by drafts are the aduncts and supports OF
despotism. The government will very properly act
in raising troops upon the superstition that the war
will continue for years. 1t may terminate within
few months but the safest and best policy is to pro-
vide for an indefinite period. Every consideration
of economy and efficiency is in favor Of troops for
the war, and these, we believe, can be raised with
out resorting to drafts

The Latest News.

Battle near PrestOaesburg, Ky.-GalUeston not to-
ken dc.
The last mails unusually void of news.
A dispatch from Lynchburg, of the 18th instant,
says:
Intelligence has been received here by the Ten
nessee train, that fight had occurred few miles
beyond Prestonburg, Kentucky, between General
Humphrey Marshall, with $500 men, and the Fed
erals numbering 5000 Marshall was retreating
when he was attacked, and the enemy came upon
him in a narrow gorge. The engagement which re-
suited, is represented to have been of the most
gallant and desperate of the war. Colonel Moores
regiment charged upon the enemy, and hand to
hand conflict ensued which lasted half an hour. The
Federals fought calamity, but finally broke and scat
tered, and ran off in Bull Run" style
Gen. Marshalls force being exhausted and so
much smaller in numbers than the Federals, he fell
back to Prestonburg.
The Confederate loss was % killed and 10 wound
ed. The enemy's loss was over 200.
The information about this engagement was
brought to Abingdon by parties in the battle.
The rumor of the capture of Galveston, Texas,
by the Federals, has not been confirmed and is be-
lieved to be incorrect.
1t is said that 1t has been fully ascertained that
land through Kentucky, in wagons.
1t is rumored that Gen. Price has been appointed
commander of the Confederate forces Of Arkansas
and Missouri.
The Confederate Congress has ordered the publ
cation of the official reports of all the battles fought
by the South. q

NORTHERN 'PAHIC.-lnformation from the North
represents the financial crisis in that region as in
creasing alarningly. The Banks have not only sus-
pended specie payments but the New York Banks
with only aggregate capital stock of 500 493 ST.
have loaned Lincoln's rotten government s72,-
100000! The unpopularity of the government is
evidently increasing The Legislature of New York
is against the war policy of the government and 1t
is said that in the Pennsylvania Legislature Al Dem
icrats refuse to go with the government A few
brave, bold men are beginning to denounce Chase,
Cameron, and other officers of the government
openly and fiercely.

BEWARE OF COUNTEREEITs.-Our attention has
been called 20 the manner in which one of the two
dollar treasury notes of this State has been coun-
tereited so to make it pass for ten dollar note
The figure ten had been cut from the margin of
some blank Bank notes-probably from those on
which the treasury notes are printed-and the ten
thus cut was pasted the tao wherever it occurs
in the two dollar note, so as to change the issue
into ten instead of two. The treasury notes, which
are printed on the back of the blank Bank notes.
should be closely clipped and never sent out with
any of these extraneous figures attached to then.
We have heard also, that some of the five and
twenty cent issues have been circulated without au
thOrity of law either in blank or filled up This must
De owing to the neglect of the printer in not prop
erly guarding the form of types on which these
notes are printed; or these notes may have been
stolen IRON the printer, or from some one who had
them in possession after they had passed from his
hands We have no idea, however. that Mr. Treas
urer Courts is to blame in this matter.

CALLING OUT THE MLIrIA.-A correspondent of
the Charleston Mercury has the following account
of Gen. Magruder's calling out the militia. He
seems to have peculiar fondness, like some other
people, for showing off the militia without musketS
or rifles bayoRets sabres, cartouch box or other
war paraphernalia. They will cut fine figure
with a common fowling piece to shoot snow birds,
and with powder horn and shot bag:
"Magruder, as | am told by one who read the
order in his own handwriting called out the militia
of twenty counties, and directed every mothers
son of them to provide himself with suit of clothes
blanket, any weapon he could obtain, coffee pot
tin plate and spoon, and with these to hold HIM
self in readiness to march at moments warning
to Yorktown where it is said he is having huts for
80, 900 militia constructed Was there ever such a
man? The War Department has decided to check
his militia madness"

THE MALS.-We continue to get complaints of
the failure of the Standard to reach our subscribers
in good time at places, and at other points not
at all. At Roanoke, Martin county, we learn the
failure is frequent and friend at CoVington writes
US that the Standard is often ten days old when it
arrives. This state Of things is really provoking.
No paper in the State goes to press more regularly
or is better put up or more promptly deposited in
the Post-ofice here, than the Standard is and yet
We learn that other city papers are regularly re-
ceved, while ours is delayed. We shall be greatly
obliged to Post Masters and Mail Agents to look
into the matter, and remedy it if possible We
have no idea that any one can Intentionally delay
the Standard, yet it is done from neglect or some
other cause. The fault does not lie at door, our
readers may be assured

Confederate Loans.

Mr.. Memminger, Secretary of the Treasury, has
given notice to all persons having money to invest,
that they procure at the Treasury in Richmond,
or from the Assistant Treasurers or Depostores at
Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New
Orleans Galveston, Memphis Nashville, or from
Confederate Commissioners of Loans, bonds or reg
istered stock of the Confederate States for their
money, bearing eight per cent. payable at any pc
riod of six months intervening between three and
eighteen years. interest payable semi-annually.-
Also to holders of Treasury notes that they can
procure at any time Confederate bonds in exchange
bearing interest at per cent, &C.
The deposites in the banks of the several States
are very large at this time Many are boarding
their money afraid of investment Is it right is it
patriotic is it best for themselves or for the coun
try? We have entire confidence that the Confed-
crate government will win and maintain its indie
pendence of the North. No power on earth can
prevent it. under the blessing Of Divine Providence
Unless the Southern people are untrue to them
selves-untrue to the country-untrue to the sacred
principles of constitutional liberty, we shall be an
independent, free. and great nation. Let the
rich bring Of their abundance and men CT substance
what they can spare into the Treasury of the gov
eminent Should the South succeed in her pres
ent struggle, of which we have no doubt, the in
vestment will beas safeas any that can be made On
the other hand, if Lincoln should prevail, what will
money, or lands, negroes, honor, or life be
worth to any true Southern man? Nothing abso-
lutely nothing Let the people, therefore, rush to
the battle field resolved upon victory or Death
Let those who must stay at home loan their treas
ures to the government, and aid With might and
main to carry on the war. We have had but one
objection to these government loans of the Confed-
eracy. The government has been too liberal, not
to say reckless in the high rate of interest it pays
1t has relied too little upon the patriotism Of the
country. Its bonds would have been taken up as
readily at per cent. as at 8. Eight per cent in
terest is crushing operation 20 the payer and for
large loans no nation on the globe has ever before
proposed to contract funded debt at such high in.
terest. debt to double itself in sixteen years, is
severe enough, even for small sums but to encour-
age the accumulation of so large funded debt as
the Confederacy must contract in bringing US
out of this war; at rate of interest which will
double itself every toelre years. is to say the least
| unwise.

Proposals FOR CARRYING THE MAILs.-"e call
attention to the advertisement of the Postmaster
General, in the Standard to-day, inviting proposals
for carrying the mails route 5,O93 We are
gratfed to see that the Department is doing all IN
its power to supply mail matter to the offices men
toned. We take it for granted that bids will be
put in and accepted and that after February the
people on route 5,O95 will be served regularly by
the government. new route, in connection with
the Fayetteville Road has been suggested and urged;
bu the Postmaster General has no authority TO es-
tabsh new, or change Old routes. 1t will be neces-
sary to obtain the assent of Congress to the pro-
pOSed new route.
