A SUGGESTION BY A LADY.

Nh. EDroR:-A very intelligent lady remarked
in my presence to-day that she thought the soldiers
in the camps ought to send all of their old socks,
dirty and worn as they may be, to the Ladies
Soldiers Aid Societies" that if they would do So
in readiness for next winter. She gave it as her
opinion that unless something of the kind is done,
there will be scarcity of wooden socks before an
other IL months shall have passed away. felt
that the remark was 3 very sensible one and that
we ought to profit by it. 1t would be a very easy
matter for soldiers to box up their old socks,
and send them either by one of their own number,
or by some friend who might be on a visit to the
camp, to the " Ladies' Soldiers Aid Societies" at
home Our men in the tented field would do bet.
ter to heed the humble suggestion Of noblehearted
lady, than have frost-bitten heels and toes.

President,s Message-Conscription.

Presidents Message
The following message from the President has
been communicated to Congress -
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
March %, 1862.
7o,the Senate and House Of
Representatives. Of the Confederate States:
The operation of the various laws now in force
for raising armies has exhibited the necessity for
reform. The frequent changes and amendments
which have been made have rendered the system so
complicated as to make it often quite difficult to
deteTmn ne what the law really is, and to what extent
prior enactments are modified by more recent legis-
lation G
There is also embarrassment from conflict be-
tween State and Confederate legislation. l am hap
Ply to assure you of the entire harmony Of purpose
and cordlallty of feeling which have continued to
exist between myself and the Executives of the
several States and it is to this cause that our sue
cess in keeping adequate forces In the field is to DC
attributed
These reasons would suffice for inviting your
earnest attention to the necessity of some simple
and general system for exercising the power Of rails
ing armies which is vested in the Congress by the
Constitution. But there is another and more im-
portant consideration The vast preparations made
by the enemy for combined assault at numerous
points on our frontier and sea-coast have produced
the result that mi ht have been expected They
have animated the people with spirit of resistance
so general so resoute and so selfsacri6cing, that
it requires rather TO be regulated than to be stimu
lated. The right Of the State to demand, and the
duty of each citizen to render, military service,
need only to be stated to be admitted 1t is not
however, wise udicious policy to place in active
service that portion of the force Of people which
experience has shown to be necessary as reserve
Youths under the age of eighteen years require
further instruction-men of mature experience are
needed for maintaining order and good government
at home and in supervising preparations for render
Ing efficient the armies in the field. These two
classes constitute the proper reserve for home de-
fence, ready to be called out in of emergency,
and to be kept in the field only when the emer-
gency exists. But in order to maintain this reserve
intact, it necessary, in great war like that in
which we are now engaged, all persons of interme-
date age, not legally exempt for good cause, should
pay their debt of military service to the country
that the burdens should not fall exclusively ON the
most ardent and patriotic.
l. therefore, recommend the passage of law de-
clarlng that all persons residing within the Confed
crate States, between the ages of eighteen and
tbirtyfve years. and rightfully subject to military
duty, shall be held to be in the military service of
the Confederate States, and that some plain and
simple method be adopted for their prompt enrol
ment and organization repeating all of the legisla.
ton heretofore enacted which would conflict with
the system proposed.

Mr., HoLDKN ~ have just been informed that
there are certain false reports in circulation to my
prejudice, sld must ask the use of your paper 20
correct them especially as they are said have OBJ
tanned "a pretty general circulation, and 70 have,
brought upon me very severe remarks. tits said
was active in getting mp petition last fall for the
removal Of Gen. Hill from his post at Newbern.-
This statement IS not only not true, but without
the semblance of truth. So far from getting up or
signing such petition, never heard until coupled
with this false report that there was petition at
all for any such purpose--aor do now know that
there was but, if so, / ask that it may be pub
lished, that the public may see whose names are
to it. But further, l aver that not only never
saw, or until now heard Of any such movement,
but never suggested sanctioned or approved Of
the removal Of Gen. Hill, but always condemned it
and still condemn ii. g.,
On the soth day of last May, 1 left Newbern with
my family, for Pittsboro', our summer residence
have been in Newbern some three or four times
since, day or so at time-and while there never
| heard that any movement was on foot for General
Hills removal. l could have no personal prejudice
against that brave officer, for have not the honor
| of personal acquaintance and never saw him but
! for moment in my life.
| Another report is that when requisition was
made for slaves to labor on the breast-works, at
near Newborn, refused to send mine, but made
| them run away. Now, the first knowledge that
had that call had been made upon the citizens of
the adjoining counties for slave labor at Newborn,
| was coupled with the statement that my men had
run of. This information got from Major W. B.
Thompson, which he got from one of my Jones
county neighbors; so that SO far from refusing to
let my negroes 60 to work at Newborn, they actu-
ally run away before knew they were called for.
Upon hearing this, | asked Major Thompson, the
Engineer in charge OF the works, how long he would
probably need slaves to work there? He replied,
as we'll as | recollect, "about two weeks" All my
negro men were then run away, that were suitable
to send, and four times as many as was required
to send according to the proportion called for Had
my negroes not run away, should have sent them
to the works.
l am the more particular in noticing this matter
small as it may appear, because am not willing to
rest under the imputaton of derelicton of duty in
this great struggle for liberty. l am at loss te
understand why I, private citizen, should be sin
ged out in this way, or why these charges hav.
slept SO long after the events to which they refe,
have passed, many months since.
