sB B-Reports from Gen. Burnside's army say
that it leaked out while our men were engaged
in burying their dead, that the rebel officers in
command at Fredericksburg are to be court
martialed for allowing Gen. Burnside to re-
treat, unmolested, across the Rappahannock.
1t is represented that had they known and
taken advantage of our position, and shelled
Fredericksburg-the streets of which were
crammed with our soldiers, and the only means
of escape three narrow pontoon bridges-the
result would nave been wholesale panic, and
loss of life on our side thousand-fold more
terrible than at Balls Bluff

Wood +! Wood I!

The people of this city have been compelled for
years, to rely upon the Railroad, to bring supply
of wood during the winter If this resource is cut
off there must be great suffering here this winter
and those who buy it at ALL must submit to the
most enormous extortion. We learn that the Rail-
road managers indisposed to bring wood at all,
and aided to this, We learn that the military autho-
rites have commenced the practice of sczing all the
wood they find cut and corded on the road sold to
private individuals, and appropriating it to their
own use. There is neither apology nor justification
for this course Such acts are an outrage upon the
law and upon humanity. No reason can exis: about
Raleigh for the sezing of private property for pub
lie USE and such conduct should be arrested at
The military authorities have it in their power to
buy wood like other people; and besides this, the
State has woodland and teams sufficiently idle to cut
and haul what is needed for the military offices and
camps.

AGENTs.-A friend who writes us, wishes to know
what we will allow Agents to get subscribers for
US. We reply, that months ago we gave notice
that we could no longer send the Standard to any
number of persons at club rates. i. in plain Eng
lish, we could longer afford to send the Weekly
STANDARD to any one for less than 50, the Semi
Weekly Tor less than 81 per year, in advance, nor
make deduction for Agents But we stated that
if any of our friends would interest themselves in
obtaining subscribers to all who sent US the cash
for ten subscribers to either paper, would send
copy free That is the best we can do in these war
times, and at war prices for paper, ink and labor
for the reason that anxious to avoid the ne
cessity of increasing the price of the paper being
DESTROYS of making the STANDARD welcome vis.
tant to the poor well as the rich. Other papers
in the Confederacy have very generally increased
their prices, but we 90 not wish to raise the price
of the Standard so long as it is unavoidable.

Union and Harmony.


The Conservative party of this State is one and
indivisible. It is contending not for offices and
spoils, but for the good Of the country. Its foun-
daton stone is, the right Of the people to gorern;
and its great object is to preserve liberty among our
selves while we are struggling for it against the
common enemy. Conservatives are not willing to
exchange one despotsm for another, one tattered
Constitution for another. We know there is By
ends or Far-speech at every turn in the political
road suggesting delusive thoughts to true CoRser-
vatives. If office had been the object of those Con-
servatives who were once Democrats they would
have remained with the. old Democratic party even
after that party had been disgraced and demorazed
by the Yanceyites. Stand to your guns, boys
Stand like stone wall Let there be no strife be-
tween those who were once Democrats and those
who were once Wings If injustice has been done,
bear it for the sake of the cause. After all, the
people are the judges and their decisions seldom
wrong. They will see to it, in the long run, that
justice is done. The tendency in these degenerate
times is to Office seeking 1t is at the saddest
and most dangerous feature of the times. 1t shows
that we are old even in youth that the vices of age
are "dimming the fine gold' of early manhood.
Let us rebuke this tendency. Let our motto be,
country before self,,union and harmony-every
thing for the cause nothing for men. Let US do
this, and we shall triumph before the people again
and again,-our enemies will be disappointed, and
our liberties as people will be conserved

of income and productions. Let the tax be i'm
posed at all events, either with or withont discrim-
nation. Such tax or CONSUMPTION Of money is
"a necessity" No one can doubt for moment,
that in the condition Of our country. "conscrip-
ton of money" is as necessary and as constitu-
tional and should be acquesced in readily as the
CONSUMPTION of men. The one saved our army from
destructon-the other may save our country from
ruin. Call this '.torced 0an," by way of ex-
citing odium, on the same ground call that forced
rendering Of military service; but call them what
you please, volunteering of failed to meet the
exigency. and CONSUMPTION of men became neces-
sary, and was enacted; volunteering of money has
cessary, and should be enacted. The members will
feel the truth of these remarks by paying s. day
for board, the per diem being SO. Will legislators
seek partial relief by increasing their own salaries,
while others are left to suffer?

Bad Faith.

The Conservatives of Cumberland and Harnett
will Sec by reference to the vote for Senator that
Mr.. Shepherd one ofthe Conmoners from those Coun-
ties, voted with his Destructive colleague, Mr.. Nc
Kay, and other Destructives, for George Davis for
Senator.
Good faith between the representative and his con-
stituents is of the utmost Importance. Without it,
the very foundations of free institutions are at
Slapped. Mr.. Shepherd was brought out and elected
by Conservative influences. Three-fo Of the
people of Cumberland and Harnett if the selection
had been left to them, would have preferred Gov.
Graham for Senator to Mr.. Davis Did not Mr.,
Shepherd know this? And knowing it, or know
ing at least that majority of his constituents are
Conservatives has he not broken faith with them !?
1t is idle to say that Mr.. Davis aoas Union man,
or Conservative. He was sent as Commissioner
to Washington to make peace and save the govern
ment; but, instead of doing that he went to work
to make war. That is the plain English of the whole
matter.
We feel it to be our duty to say to the Conserva-
tives of the two Counties that in our humble opin-
ioh Mr.. Shepherd is not reliable Conservative. -
This is time for trimming or indecison in public
men. The times call for nerve and irmness of pur-
pose of which we fear Mr.. Shepherd is nearly 6es-
titute.

The Election Of Treasurer.

1t is expected that the Legislature will, one day
this week, elect Treasurer
We sincerely trust that Mr.. Worth will be elect
ed. He is a warm friend and supporter of Gov
Vance, and the people expect that some such man
will be chosen to fill an office so important in itself,
and so intimately identified with his administration.
There can be no doubt Of Mr.. Courts thorough
Identification, both in cord and deed with the De-
structive party. Every intelligent person in this
City knows the fact to be so. 10 elect him will be
to elect Destructive and to that extent to embar-
rass the administration of Gov. Vance.

Our TEoors MUST BE AcrvE.-Our people in the
Eastern counties have suffered much for the want of
greater activity and courage in the commanders of
our Rangers and other forces. A few of them, such
men as Capt Tucker, Major Nethercutt, Capt. New
kirk, Capt Adams and Capt. Whtford, and perhaps
others, have shown daring activity and efficiency,
but from what we have heard, too many have been
slack twisted. Last week Yankee gun boat steam
cd up into New River, IN Onslow, and committed
some depredations at Jacksonville. Capt. Newkirk's
cavalry attacked the boat and captured her crew
and destroyed the boat.
