The N. C. Railroad.


We learn that the gross income of this Road is
now about $3.50, 900 per month The Importance
of this Road at this time to people, and to the
Confederate cause, cannot be overstated We are
glad record the fact that it is prosperng under its
President, Mr.. Webb, who is eminently business
man. and Mr.. Sumner, its energetic Superintendent.
There are complaints, however, as to the running
of the Road which result mainly from the fact that
its ss and tmbers are, to some extent, giving way.
These must be supplied by the ensuing winter, or
the Road will not be able to dispatch the heavy
business it will have on hand. We learn that the
slave labor along the line is not adequate to the
work of supplying the sills and timbers, and that
the Road will be obliged to rely for these indspen-
sable articles white labor. But many of those
who have contracted to furnish slls conscrpts.
Surely they will detailed for this important work.
Such conscrpts as these be greatly more useful
to the government in this capacity than they would
be in the ranks for the Road is transporting troops
and munitions of war at ha! price, and any cessa-
ton of its operations would result in serious injury
to the Confederate cause. We are gratifed to learn
that Maj. Malett fully appreciates these facts and
that his action in this respect will be prudent and
| liberal.

The ExemptiOu Bill,

We crafty universal anxiety in laying before
our readers to-day correct copy Of the late Exemp-
ton bill passed by Congress. 1t will be found to
cover large variety of cases. 1t could hardly be
expected to meet with universal approval: Many
of its provisions are important and excellent others
are highly Objectionable. We are gratifed to learn
that President Davis will exercise the utmost for
bearance in carrying into execution the last con-
script law, being aware how disastrously it must
operate upon the poor farmers especially, in those
sections where there are few slaves. We are as
sured that he will not call out the under
the last act until the necessity becomes imperative
By the way we have learned incidentally that North
Carolina has done about four times as much under
the first conscript bill any other Southern State.
Is it too much for our Legislature to demand that
the first conscript act shall be fully carried out in
all the States before the last one is put in opera.
ton?
Congress will doubtless receive the thanks Of the
body of the people for its effort in the Exemption
bill to lay an embargo upon the extortion and spec
ulation of the country.
Nothing we are sure is exerting so depressing ar
influence upon the minds of the people of the South
as the unbrdled avarce which rules the spectators
and extortioners of the country. Its influence

The 18th Resiment at sharp.burg,

A correspondent of the Western Democrat, wri-
ting from Martinsburg, Va, says:
. "On the night of the 18th, at l, A. NJ, We left
for Sharpsburg via Shepherdstown and again CROSS
ed the Potomac into Maryland On the 18th We
were drawn up in line of battle, soon after daylight
in Gen. D. H. Hills division on the right of the
centre, there listening to the heavy firing on our
left, until shout 10 o'clock, when we were ordered
hastily to support our left, under jackson, sorely
pressed by nearly the whole force of the enemy
We rushed forward at double quick for about two
miles and went forthwith into action, with 700 men
rank and file, charging through a wood shelled by
the enemy, ard through which grape and canister
and rifle balls were pouring thick as hail Onward
rushed the 4stb and the whole brigade through the
woods, leaving many wounded and some dead, and,
am sorry to say, some of the living unhurt behind
front of the enemys terrible battery of ls guns,
beching death and destruction at every discharge.
Werushed forward still to within 80 yards Of the
enemy's batteries, and they evidently began to wa
yer, but our lines were broken in consequence of
the want of drill and discipline in new recruits
the conscripts, who fought well for raw troops but
understood but little of marching in line of battle.
The regiment was thrown into confusion and driven
back with great slaughter, many of our wounded
being taken prisoners. An effort was made by the
Lieut. Colonel to rally the regiment under cover Of
hill in the woods but in vain considerable por-
tion of the regiment he afterwards succeeded in ra-
lying behind stone wall near the woods, and was
afterwards Joined by the Colonel with a few 9TH

or 22nd Mississippi regiments rallied with u.s.
We suffered severe shelling here, but stood our
ground until late in the evening when VIC were
ordered over to our extreme left, where we were
subjected to one of the most terrific shellings VIC
had ever experienced. Some few were slightly
wounded by it. We remained on the field near oul
battle ground all night without eating anything but

If we were to Judge the spirit of the times by the

NORTHERN PoLrr1cs--It is very evident from the
few glimmerings which we get from across the line
of Northern politics. that the North is not unit in
the sunnort of the unconstitutional and wicked war
Lincoln is waging against the South. Public sem
tment is suppressed by the iron hand of despotlsm
but we trust the pentup wrath of the conservative
people will soon break forth in thunder tones to the
utter destruction of the Lincoln dynasty.
Many Northern people, until now, have been de-
uded with the idea that they must sustain the war;
because its object is to maintain the Constitution
and preserve the Union; but when, as they must
now fully perceive the true object is the destruc-
ton Of all Constitutions, all laws, and all Unon'
the destruction of slavery entire and the establish
ment Of military despotism, they must awake
from the delusion and put down the war.

ExToRrED PRAsE.-A Newbern correspondent of
the New York Tribune gives q flaming, and of
course generally false account Of the late fight in
Washington, but he pays the following extorted
tribute to the courage of our troops:
The enemy exhibited superior courage and tact,
while they fought more like madmen than anything
else in fact they have displayed, by this dashing
attack, a courageous audacity which presume no
Union force, any other force but one composed of
lunatics, would think Of initiating. Let no one say
hereafter that North Carolinans are towards They
may, however, be called indiscreet in exhibiting a
superabundance of courage which Morgan and
Stonewall jackson have yet to excel"
