The semi-weekly standard.

The unprecedented demand for news, has led US
for seine weeks to consider the proprety Of issuing
the Standard daily or trs-week.y. Wehad decided
to issue it triweckly, but we ascertained that we
could not obtain telegraphc news sufficiently in ad.
vance of the mails to justify the risk and expense
The increase Of our advertising patronage, how
ever, cempels US in justice to our subscribers to
issue the Semi Weekly Standard hereafter on a
whole sheet And to enable US to mail promptly
our large Weekly issue, the Semi Weekly Standard
will, after the present number, be published on
Tuesday and Friday mornings instead OF Wednes-
day and Saturday. By that arrangement our rea-
ders will obtain the Geographic news from the Stan
dard about the same time they receive it from the
Richmond and Petersburg papers.
Our readers may rely upon the Standard for the
most reliable and latest intelligence from all quar-
tiers. The Weekly will continue to be issued on the
same day as heretofore. Some of our cotempora-
ries have increased the price of subscription, but
the Standard will continue to be issued at the old
prices 81 for the year for the Semi Weekly and So
for the Weekly as long as the patronage Of the pa
per justi6es it.
Ii, at any time, ascertain that the Geographic
facilities here will enable to meet more fully the
demands Of the public for news than at present. the
STANDARD will be issued trl.weekly or daily.

Second N. C.. HOSPITAL.

We clip the following from the Petersburg Ez-
press:
The Raleigh Standard of the 9lst states that cores
Ponaent has written letter bis signature for
publication which reflects severely upon the
OF the End n. c. Hospital in this city. 49,.
The attack is regarded by the patients in that hospital
ana dis'nterested gentlemen in this community unust
nabe Dr. J. G. Warren, the Surgeon in charge is now
absent on sick furloughand in condition present
TO meet the unspecd charges reflections to which the
Standard refers When the public hears the testimony of
patients and medical men who intimately acquainted
with the management Of this hospital will not regard it
as inferior to any in the State of North Carolina or
where"
The bare announcement of the name of DR.. W.
u. Warren, we repeat, as the Surgeon in charge of
that Hospital, is sufficient guarantee to every per-
son in North-Carolna who has any knowledge of
that gentleman, that no blame could be attached to
him or to any institution or subordinate under his
Immediate care. Our correspondent whom we sup
pose to have been sick soldier or the friend of sick
soldiers, does not speak Of DR.. w., and we are in
clined to believe that he ignorant as we were
and did not know that DR.. Warren was connected
with the institution. He gives the name of gen.
tleman as 1.-THE surgeon of the second N. C. Hospi-
tal," of whom We know nothing. Had he spoken
of DR.. W. as the surgeon Of the Hospital of whom
he complained we should not have noticed his COM
plants.

RumOrS.

Up to the present hour it is exceedingly difficult
to ascertain with any certainty, the fate OF thou
sands of our brave soldiers. The long letter which
we give of the battles from North Carolina officer
will supply much information not generally known.
A painful anxiety still exists in regard to many
of our regiments and companies. We hear that
our lst 3D. 3d. 4th, 5th, 9Th, 7th, 10th, 14th 18th,
Oath and SD have been terribly cut up. In the
Middleton fight of Sunday, Gen. D. Fl. Hills di-
vision was mainly composed Of North-Carolinians,
and in the Sharpsburs fight most of our regiments
participated, being embraced in D.. Ii. Hills, Long
streets and A. P. Hills divisions Thousands were
killed, wounded or captured. We hear that some
of the regiments were reduced to 30 and other small
numbers. We hope these are exaggerations.
OF the Raleigh Rifles and Oak City Guards We
can hear little except rumors but they are generally
represented as being severely decimated. Capt
Jones and Lieut.. Bevers, Raleigh Rifles, are said
to be missing. 1t. P. Hardy, reported at one time
to be wounded, is said to be safe, having been de-
tailed for other duty-the is also trueo Sorgt
S, Lemay, of the Oak City Guards
The Ellis Light Artillery seems to have been
more fortunate. This company, we learn was en-
Gagged in the fights at Harper's Ferry, Sharpsburg
and Shepherdstown, and did good service One &C,
count is that it lost two horses, one ca'sson ana
that 1t. Wrenshall was wounded severely but not
mortally. Another account is, that the company,
since leaving Virginia had lost fourteen horses two
caissons and five wounded, 1t Wrenshall being the
| only name mentioned. All the Raleigh and Wake
| members of the company are said to be safe. =,
1t is also reported that the lamented Gen. Branch
was not killed in the battle but after it was nearly
over, being out on reconnolsance win ms siass'
! and at the time conversing with Gen. Maxy GIegs'
of S. C. He was killed BY sharp shooter.
