LETTER ASKING FOR COURT OF INQUIRY.
WASHINGTON, September 6.
To his exeellency the president: Il have
been informed by senator that he has seen
note in pencil, written by colonel of caval-
ry, mortally wounded in the recent battle,
stating among other causes that " he was dy-
ing victim TO McDowelI's treacherv," and
that his last request was that this note might
be shown to YOU. That the colonel believed
this charge and felt that his last act on earth
was great public service, there can be, l
think, no question. This solemn accusation
from the grave of gallant officer, who died
for his country, is entitled to great
consideration and l feel called upon to endea-
vor to meet it as well as SO general charge
from one now no longer able to support it,
can be met. l therefore beg you to please
cause a court to be instituted for its investi-
cation, and in the absence Of any knowledge
whatever as to the particular act or acts, time
or place, or general conduct the deceased may

the bounty to prvates, musicians and non commits

volunteers between eighteen and thirty FIVE years Of
age for three years or the war; including those
cepted directly by the Confederate Government

SNAIL ARMs.-One or two recent arrivals have
brought small arms for the Confederacy, but are
inclined to believe that there is pressing necessity
for more arms 1t is certain that when our or 500
Regiments are filled up to the maximum number of
1850 men, we shall need all the muskets, rifles, and
double-barrel guns which can be commanded
We have heard it said that notwithstanding the
urgent calls made by Gov. Clark upon the people
of this State for their surplus arms, that there are
persons who still keep in their possession two or
three old U. S. muskets, rifles, or double.
gums We confess that it is difficult for US to De-
lieve that this is So One gun every man should
keep, The protection and safety of his family re-
ouires this but those who have more than one who
can still hold on to them at time like this, when
the army needs them so much, must have but little
sense Of their responsibility and duty in this crisis
or Of the danger which may bea us for the lack Of
them. Let such respond to the call of Gov. Clark
at once and let it no longer be said that any man in
North Carolina withholds from the government arms
which he can spare, at time like this. Delays,
inertia or inecency either on the part Of the gov
ernment or people, will prove seriously detrimental
to our cause at this juncture.

LEIGH II c VEDrls DAY MAY n
The Conscriptlou.

< The Conscfiptfou. = SssS +
Many persons desire information on the operation
Of this law. We have published the law ITSELF the
bill on exemptions, the regulations adopted BY the
Secretary Of War; and to-day We publish the letter
Of the Secretary to Gov Clark, eueidating several
points in its operation. ~.
TO relieve further anxiety and to prevent unnec-
essary trouble either to the people or to the Military
Department here, in seeking information, we will
say, that as yet no arrangement has been made be-
tween the Governor or Adutant General of the State
and Secretary of War; in regard to the Conscrption
that we know Of Officers have not yet been ap.
pointed to enrol the conscripts to draft them
When this is done the public will be advised Of it.
In the meantime We make the following sugges
tions:
l. Let the people remain At home who do not in
tend to volunteer, and quietly pursue their bust
ness. s.-.s,-r . +.
2.Untl the 18th inst, every man between the
ages of 18 and 35--may volunteer and join new
company which can be filled up by that time or one
already in service from this State as a recruit
8. Read the exemption law and see if you belong
to either of the classes therein exempted and you
do, make yourself easy, and answer to your name
when you are called. If no, still wait until you
are called s> -=.7.--
4. When the names of all those who have not
volunteered between 18 and 35 are enrolled, then
the conscription will begin We presume that those
who are necessary to fill up the companies al
ready formed to 125 for infantry, 15o for artillery,
and 80 for cavalry will be selected by draft and sent
at once to recruit the companies; and that those
who are not drafted will be sent into camps of in
struction or suffered to remain at home until call
ed for.
8. Those who intend to hire substitutes need not
be in haste, it is understood to be the purpose of
the Secretary of War to release every man in the
army over S5 years of age Many who are released
will doubtless wish to return, and can readily be
employed as substitutes.
g. Whether the Secretary Of War designs to re.
lease those persons under 1s and over IS years who
are substitutes for the war; has not yet been decided
we believe Ourimpresson, however, IS that persons
who are substitutes for those who are over 1s and
under 35, will be retained in the service, but sub
sttutes for men over IS may be released.
