They were sitting side by side,
And he sighed, aud then she sighed.
Said he. my darling idol"
And he idled, and then she idled
"You are creations BELLE"
And she beloved, and then he beloved.
.Your hand ask, SO bold I've grown"
And he groaned, and then she groaned.
"And you shall have your private gig"
And she giggied, and then he giggled.
Said she, my dearest Luke
And he looked and then she looked.
"I'd have thee, ifthou wilt"
And she wiltcd, and then he wilted.
God Bless You.
How simply fall those simple words
Upon the human heart,
When friends long bound in strongest ties
Are doomed by fate TO part.
You sadly press the hand of those
Who thus in love carcss You,
And soul responsive beats to soul,
In breathing out God bless you"
What are another's faults to me,

And make 1t wider stilly

While on my heart true care bestow,
And let my friends alone.

encumbering the declaration of SO useless an APP

The Military Bill.

1, We have not felt disposed to PREJUDICE the orGi-
nance reported to the Convention by Judge How
ard, of the Military Committee, for raising North
Cardinals quota of troops for the war Hence, we
have not alluded to it. 1t has been undergoing
discussion in secret session for several days Our
neighbor of the Register endorsed it, as perhaps
others have done, without duly considering its pro-
visions To our mind it is seriously Objectionable,
and the correspondent of the last Register signed
" n. c." expresses the views of large majority of
our people no doubt in regard to it. To calm the
fears of N. c." and all others, we simply remark,
the Convention. That body will give its sanction
to no measure which will force the people to be
drafted for longer term than twelve months In
deed, may go further and say, that VIC think the
Convention will test more fully the patriotism of
our people by calling upon them to volunteer, be-
fore resorting to draft. Drafting, we judge, will
be resorted to only as a last effort to supply the
places OF our brave men in the field. Our twelve
months volunteers need not fear that the Con-
venton will treat them unjustly. Whether they
will re-enlst go home, will certainly be left to
their option. If required to return to the field it
will be only when all other plans have failed to get
the requisite number Of men, Moreover, It is our
opinion that the Convention of North Carolina
will pass no ordinance giving to the Executive
the power to appoint the army officers. The cleo
-tions will be given to the companies and the regi
ments. 49,. '

EOlunteeTing.

We believe there are 20 OF 80, 900 men in North
Carolina who stand ready, this moment, to volun-
teer to defend the State ii the Governor were TO is
sue his Proclamation inviting them to do so. The
difficulty of equipping and providing for them we
admit 10 be great, but is it not better to risk mil
lions more in the defence of the State than to rely
upon unarned, unied, unclothed and unprovided
militia? Many Of our people are too poor to pro-
vide in advance themselves even five days provis-
ions gun, their own ammunition and camp equip
age Men of wealth and means must not stand back
at this crisis. They must volunteer themselves or
provide the means for those who are willing to fight
The more man has Of substance to protect and de-
fend the greater Is his obligation to furnish the
means of defence. Let every man do his duty
The pinch of the war is upon U.s. We are a con-
queTed people if every man does not do his utmost
to promote the war;

The Objects of the Enemy.

When we admonished the government and the
public sometime ago. that the object of the Burn
side expedition was to take Roanoke Island, and
then the Seaboard Railroad, to get in the rear of
Norfolk, the idea was booted at by some wiseacres.
They acted just so when We gave the warning about
Hatteras. Brock" the correspondent Of the Pc
tersburg Express who ought to have known better,
ridiculed the idea. Now, We see he is trembling in
his shoes. few days will verify the correctness
of our suggestions, and unless the government is
moving more actively than fear it is, the whole
country between James River and Albemarle Sound
will be in the enemy's possession. We ought to
have at least ten thousand troops in the neighbor
hood Of Smithheld, and ten thousand troops be-
tween Blackwater,and Weldon. Why cannot some
of our men be spared from other points? Is it ne
cessary now to keep the North Caroliua troops in
South Carolina that are there {? y ..-.

CONSUMPTION OF GoRN.z-The Richmond Dispatch
gives the following note of warning to those who
are buying up grain for distishon:
|" 1t is understood that the War Department will
shortly issue an order directing the seizure Of the
corn now held for purposes of distillatien, step
rendered necessary, not only by the pernicous
effects ofthe unlimited manufacture Of whskey, but
by the exorbitant prices which Government is there
by compelled to pay for article indispensable to
the sustenance of the army. This movement, fol-
lowing close upon the order for the impressment of
of saltpetre. will probably cause menopolists and
extortioners to open their eyes, and may result in
publication of the moral atmosphere, so devoutly
prayed for by every honest member of the com.
munity." ~ '.r.
