eW We directed our carrier week or two since,
to discontinue an exchange with paper printed in
this City, called the State Journal We are ex-
changing with every paper in the State but the one
referred to- and We are not in the habit of termina
ting such newspaper courteses except in the last
resort; but really it cannot be expected of US to
exchange with paper which so constantly villlfes
msrepresents, and abuses us, and whose columns
afford US nothing which We could CLEAN for the in
formation or edifcation of our readers We shall,
therefore, neither read nor notice that paper in f-
ture, unless at the special request of friends Its
vile abuse gives US not the least concern. We do
not covet the friendship appreciation of those who
nstigate it to It's calumnious and cowardy assaults
on US, or who while they affect not to endorse it, or
to consider it respectable, nevertheless so time
serving or inrm of purpose to be willing to take
what little benefit they may realize from its columns
We may state, however, that since we gave the
order to discontinue the exchange the Office referred
to has subscribed for two copies of the Standard
thus showing that the nominal Editors are not able
to get along without the Standard. We do not
desire the Sate Journal at any price.

Pork! Pork ~

Pork is selling higher i'll this market than at any
other point we have noticed in the State A con-
siderable quantity has been sold since Christmas at
from IL to l2l cents. Why is this? Can our poor
people bear such prices? Is it not because people
who are able, become too easily alarmed and pay
just what is asked? We believe that no class of
men deserve better prices for what they produce
than the farmers. But is it right to put such heavy
prices upon what We can make or produce in the
Southern Confederacy, because foreign articles
which we cannot produce selling at war prices
We do not blame the farmers. An article in mar
ket is worth the market price, and the farmers do
right in asking it. But is it fair or best for men
who are able to pay high prices to put up the mar
ket beyond the reach of the poor? Let the matter
be pondered Half dozen droves Of good pork
would sell we'll in this MARKET if brought here

North.Carolina Medical Journal.

We regret to observe that this valuable periodical
was discontinued with the November number One
of its Editors, DR.. Charles E. johnson, is engaged
Surgeon General of the State, and the other, Dr.
S. S. Satchwel as Surgeon to Col. Clingman's reg
iment; but in addition to this, and as the main
cause of its temporary dscontnuance We learn that
owing to the hardness Of the times, it was not ade
quateiy supported by the profession and others We
hope to see it revived at the close of the war;
The November number contains continuation of
the reply of Dr. o. F. Manson, of Granville to DR..
W. 7. Towards review of his ESSAY on Malarial
Pneumonia." This paper, like every one of SIM
liar kind which has emanated from Dr. Manson, is
characterized by cearness and elegance of style, and
replete with varied learning; and we regret that
DR.. M. is prevented by the discontinuance of the
Journal, from concluding his reply through that
medium.

A farmer recommends the boiling of pine tops in

that the best thing for hog sick or well, was =
plenty of sound shelled or ground corn. He said it
was both food and medicine for them. Many feed
hogs with nubbins and halfrotted corn. He said

be seen by our dispatches from Louisville that
Governor Magofin has issued proclamation
calling together the Legislature. II is not GER
tain, from the wording Of the short despatch,
what Bsriah means this time. He declares that
"daily appeals have been made to him to pro-
tect the citizens from marauding bands and in
the peaceful enjoyment of their property and
rights under the constitution" and that "any
attempt on my part TO organize force for that
purpose viii certainly precipitate the evil
and therefore he convenes the Legislature.
Whether he does this for the purpose of endsa-
voring TO secure the passage Of . secession
ordinance, or TO really adopt such measures
as will put . quietus upon the raids Of the
rebel bands, 10 somewhat uncertain; but since
the Legislature Is to assemble on the 14th of
August all doubts will soon be removed, and
Beriah be found either for or against the Union.
He can hardly attempt to carry water on both
shoulders again.

The PAY OF Our SoLDIERs.INcoMPErEN
or THE PArMAsTERs.-A private who was
wounded at the battle of Fair Oaks, and has
since been in one Of the hospitals under ni1di-
cal treatment, called at our Office yesterday
with complaint that he could not get his pay
lie has been six months in the army, and has
not received the first cent in payment for his
services His family is suffering Tor the neces-
saras u,e. and the moment that he could hob
Bile out Of the hospital he applied to the pay
master who is now IN tlis city but was informed
that an order lad just been received no. to pay
any Of the privates. !, 81
What is the meaning of this. We oil expect
every American to do his duty; but does
the War Department expect that men will
leave their families aud risk their lives
in battle IL they are thus shabby
treated! Afflicted with wounds, bis papera
correct and vouchers perfect he is told with
out any other explanation, that the government
has ordered that no privates are to be paid,
and therefore he is obliged to see his family
suffer, while the money due him. which would
relieve them. is withheld. His story is that Of
hundreds of Others. and demands immediate at.
tention Of the authorities At Washington. To
expect every man to exert every effort, under
such circumstances. or men to rapidly enlist. is
expecting too much of weak human nature.
Secretary Stanton should Immediately Issue
one OF his bulletins against ,bese negligen,
paymasters, and also establish some plain
and simple rules for the payment of the
men-rules that every private could under
stand and such rs would give the paymaster
no chance to take advantage OF the poor sol.
diers, il matters not how great the temptation
This is an cyli that demands immediate atten-
ton. It's iNportance cannot be overestImated.
Let Secretary Stanton see that it il attended TO

AMERICAN POLITICAL WREPULLN0 INTRO
DuCED IN EuRoPE.-The intelligence from the
Continent is to the effect that the secessionists
in Paris have all left that city for the watering
places, and have mostly taken up quarters at
vichy, in the hope Of influencing the Emperor,
who is now sojourning there. This is an old
dodge, long in vogue in this country. Politi-
clans who were desirous of manufacturing pub
lie opinion would resort to Washington during
the session of Congress, and thsre hold forth in
the barrooms and other public places, and with
loud talk and vain boastings endesvor to obtain
converts. As soon as the heat Of summer COM
menced they would take their departure to the
watering places of the North, such as Cape May,
Saratoga and Newport, and there endeavor to
monopolize everything and manufacture public
opinion for their schemes.
The secessionists who have been hanging
about the barrooms and gambling saloons
Of Paris have now, 1t appears, resorted
to their old customs praotised here. and
taken their departure for vichy, in the
hope Of creating . secession atmosphere
about Napoleon and inducing him to recognize
the so-called Southern confederacy. The En-
peror will no doubt hear all the secession talk
that he desires, spiced with all manner Of canards
about rebel victories, including the Roorbsck-
the capture of McClellan's entire army-that
was put in circulation in London on the evening
of the debate in Parliament on the motion Of
Mr.. Lindsay for the recognition Of the Southern
copfederacy. These agents Of the South are
playing desperate game, and II matters not TO
them how big lies they tell II they only accom-
plsh their object. The public may be prepared
to hear all manner Of rumors about the recog
milton Of the Southern confsderacy, emanating
from the new base Of operations Of the secss-
sionists at Vtchy.

repaying us for our hospitality; and the best
way he proposes to do this is by max
ing an attempt to obtain the recognition
Of the JEFF. Davis confederacy. Here, how
ever he failed again most dismally. although
he was backed up by the bogus news announc-
ing the capitulatiop Of Mcclellan, and by the
untounded pretsnsl0hs Of the London Times
that the federal army had surrendered. The
sound plum pudding and roast beef common
sense Of John Bull prevailed on this occasion
and triumphsd over the trade and navigation
schemes of the member from SUNDERLAND.
The Importance Of the action Of the House Of
Commons cannot be exaggerated. In view OF
the approaching conference Of the Emperors
Of France and Russia and the King Of Prussia,
this decision Of the Premier and Parliament of
England is most opportune. At that august
meeting, as we have the Emperor Alexander
with us, and Lord Palmerston opposed to recog-
nizing the South, the chances are that Prussia
will go with her ally, England, and We shall
have no Intervention for some time. But we
must not rely too much on such contingencies.
II is the dutyof the federal government to carry
on the war with renewed vgor, and not to be
shaken from its purpose in the slightest degree
in consequence of the suffering and misery Of
tho European manufacturing districts. Let our
blows at the rebellion be fast and furious, and
in . few months we will bring the so-cslled
Southern cpnfederacy to complete submission to
The legitimate government Of the whole country
and foreign Intervention will become AZ obso.
