CAMPS OF TNsTRUcTIoS.-There are two camps of In
sructon for the conscrpts in this State-onc Rail
egh and Statesville. II will be by an
order from Major Maett, published in another column,
that the conscrps West of the YaGkin River and the
boundary line between Surry and Stokes counties,
required to rendezvous at the camp Statesve.
Tuesday last the day appointed for enrolling the
conscripts ia this State. How many were enrolled is
yet known though suppose the number is small
That the law bears hard some is not to be denied,
but that it necessary will hereafter be shown by
those who know the facts and circumstances which
caused its passage. Our Generals and other officers
said it was necessary. They ought to know Tho
Yankee newspapers say that the cOnscript law
saved Richmond.
The Hon. B. II. Hill of Georgia, in letter concern
ing the conscrpt law makes the following timely and
sensible remarks
am asked to give my views on the Conscript Act
and the controversy that subject. l decline. The
duty of patriotism is encourage our troops not
to dSsatisfy them; to keep people united and
divide them. State rights and individual rights are to
be saved by soldiers-gallant, satisfied soldiers-and
not by issue makers and abstract theorizcrs And
for ambition let beg its votaries consider that
the times inopportune for such aspirations now.
At the proper time, if see any good likely to
result will give my views of the law. At present
allow me to say it is the duty of everybody-of States
and peGpe-to obey it without reluctance and without
qulbOllng. We know the enemy greatly dreaded this
law, and hoped it would be resisted but the soldiers
and the people everywhere Except perhaps East Ten
nesseel are nohly responding its call; and when
those affected are satisfied there is surely nothing in
State rights which requires the disturbance of this
harmony by those affected.
One word more another subject: The Administra-
ton ought to be supported cheerfully and without mis-
giving. No good can, but much harm will come of
opposition. Every blow strikes the cause Mr. Davis
IS IN many respects noble example to all Executive
officers He usurps authority; he exercises no pow
er without Legislative grant; he ntcrferes with no pri
yate rights, and fights none but the common enemy.
EaveSdroppnG ibelers unmocS ted under the win
dows of his office, and slanderers find freedom in the
light of his midnight lamp He will never be Dcta-
tor. Above all, let us preserve unity. obey the
laws and help not abuse, each other With this re-
solve certain of success, and when the struggle
is and review it with calmness we shall be
asonished, not at many, but so few reycrses-not
that so little but that so much was done"

ESSs- If Colonel Vance is justified in quitting the
Army to for political Office, would not private
in the ranks be justified in quitting the service
turn home to make his crop and help support his wife
and children? Why is so much Difference shown
Colonel than private? Is Col Vance any more
entitled to Office because he entered the service
than hundreds of prrateS who foot the ranks?
Mr. Vance is we'll qualified for the office of Gov
ernor as thousands of PrvateS from N Carolina who
getting only Sl per month while he is receiving $3.50
per month and riding horse. He never had any ex-
perence in business affairs for he has been nothing
POLITICIAN since he came to the years of manhood.
The fact is, Col. Vance nominated not on account
of his fitness for the Office of Governor but because
the wrepulers thought he would catch the votes of
the soldiers. His position in the army is being used
for party purposes, and it is done with his and
eonarance. The Raleigh Standard, in 1859, plainly
htimated that Mr. Vance did not for the country
if he could succeed in carrying out his peculiar views
and in 1862 it may be said that Mr. Vance moth
ing for the army if he be made Governor. He has
right to leave the army uptil those who enlisted
under him released Mr. Johnston resigned his seat

SLIGHTLY misunderstanding morning an
unfortunate German, who had been deceived by
the Northern reports of the recent battles around
Richmond, made his appearance at the Passport
Office and applied for pass to Baltimore On
being Intercepted, he stated that he vas q men,
Der of the 18th United States Infantry; that he
had been left at Fort Leavenworth sick; and that
he reached Washington few days ago, where he
inquired for his Captain, and was informed that
he might be found in Richmond. Leaving the
Federal capital, he made his way to this city, with
the full expectation of finding Gen. Mcclellan and
his Captain here. In this, however, he was
slightly mistaken, and as he seemed to be short
of funds, the generosity of Marshal Griswold
found him accommodations in Castle Goodwin
