Western Carolina Threatened.


We make the following extract from letter Of
Lieut.. Parker, of Col. R. B. Vances regiment, pub.
lished in the last Asevle Neps ano dated Straw
berry Plains, Tenn Feb. II, 1862. 1t will be seen
from this that Western North Carolina is in danger:
"a friend, who has had from his position hereto.
fore the opportunity to know, just told me that if
teen or twenty thousand in this country will fly to
the federal standard the moment it reaches East
Tennessee proper. This firmly believe; indeed
they are constantly gong now. And when the dis
affected citizens of this country feel that they
safely and snugly housed in Abrahams BOSOM then
woe be unto all men who have incurred the slightest
displeasure of the "loyal subjects"
cannot in good faith to my beloved Buncombe
hills, close this paper without giving you and our
feow.eountrymen one more hint 1t is this: l
have it from the lips of some Of the Union leaders,
that the Federal forces intend to sack Ashevle N c.
as soon as they possibly get there They actual
ly hate Asheville win perfect hatred. Yes, they
say they "intend to show you how to make guns
up there to shoot US with" Now call together
your best and most skillful engineers-lay off, draw
up plan, and propose inpenetrable fortications.-
II yon don't you are gone, unless some unforeseen
circumstance tarns the scale of destruction l do
not wish to scare you-you know me, and you
know the writer is no aartnst but writes the facts
as they now, and from every circumstance must
necessarily exist" ...,

Rumors Of the falling back Of our forces from
Manassas are common, but whether reliable or not.
we are not advised.
A recent private letter received at Lynchburp
from Centreve, says that our forces had received
orders to send the sick to the rear and nut Them
selves under marching orders. This has been con.

and children connected with the army of the Poto-

in battle Before going into battle every captain
Will call the roll of his company and coming out of

Will be court martialed for cowardice. Carrying
the wounded from the field in the midst of an &C.
ton is also prohibited and every man going to the
rear on any pretence whatever will be shot by the

WIscHEsrER.-The Richmond Dspatch says:-
Private letters from Winchester furnish information
that Gen. jackson has caused the removal of tho
quartermaster and commissary stores from that
POINT, in anticipation Of an early attack from the
enemy. The same letters also state that report
ing, in large force, at wamsport Tho distance
from Williamsport to Winchester, by the Martins.
burg and Winchester Turnpike, is thrty.four miles,
and the roads are represented to be almost impass-
able. Whether the enemy will risk an attack at this
time, or in very short time, is extremely doubtful,
unless his facilities for transportation are much more
extensive and efficient than we have reason to be.
lleve them to be. At any rate feel well satisfied
that Gen. jackson will make gallant stand before
yielding the place, which he will only do when over.
towering numbers render it prudent and necessary.

Cabinet Making.

A contemporary has the following sensible remarks
in regard to the new Cabinet:
Misunderstanding is an unpleasant operation, and
unenvable is the lot of the who has to undergo
it. IT. ordinary times, it wins but few thanks in
difficult times like these it is no! merely ungracious,
but is surrounded with embarrassment But the
difficulty must be confronted boldly and fearlessly,
and we all hope, with good results to the country.
The late Cabinet was selected somewhat with refer
ence to States. That vicious principle has forced
itself upon our institutions 1t never was worthy
for moment of wise mans regard. 1t had its
origin in the ambition of petty men, who looked to
locality to supply the defect of merit 1t cannot he
discarded too soon. The best, the ablest, the most
patriotic, disnterested and energetic men should be
selected, if they all come from tine same house
Mere party is as little to be considered. Possibly
1t might be wise and with view to arouse the
enthusiasm of the whole people, and remove the
suspicion of party bias, that some reference might
be had to the old divisions of party But only on
condition that equal fitness could be obtained We
Cannot now afford to sacrifice the public to any
personal or party consideration Wisdom in coun-
Gill; and vigor In action. what we now want. and
we must have them, without regard to persons"

Designs of the Enemy.

The disappearance of the enemy from Chowan
river and Abemarle Sound we fear, will lead to the
superstition, and consequent inaction on our part,
that he does not mediate an immediate attack upon
the rear of Norfolk We cannot doubt for mo-
ment that the accomplishment of that object and
the possession of the Railroad the chief object
Of the expedition. But the movement will not be
made until Burnside has completed the organization
Of his reinforcements the complete fertilization Of
Roanoke Island, and the necessary preparation for
making it the base of all his operations upon North
Carolina We have doubt Hatteras will be
abandoned as depot of men, arms and munitions,
and that everything essential to the enterprise will
be transferred to Roanoke Island.
Before month passes, We fear the authorities
will be made to feel more deeply than they have yet
done, the immense importance Of the possession Of
Roanoke Island to the enemy, and how necessary
it was to have it fully fortified against him. Every
thing is no doubt being concentrated now at that
point but the blow upon the rear Of Norfolk will
not be struck until Gen. Wool is ready to second
his efforts, by front movement upon the South
side OF James River or upon Suffolk. o..
But in the mean time, beg to call the attention
Of the authorities to the probabilities of an attack
upon Newbern and Washington, just prior to his
advance upon the rear of Norfolk. His object is no
doubt, to scatter and divide and then destroy. Let
the authorities and the people be on the alert. Let
the people rally as man to the call Of Gov. Clark.
Let them answer promptly to the call Of Gen. Branch
at Newoern tor slave and free colored labor upon
toe entrenGhments and Notifications. Let the peo
pie ABOUT washington spare no pains, labor or ex-
order to give the enemy warm reception.

ew Bear in mind, citizens Of Raleigh, that
YOU are called upon to vote to-day for or against a
subscription of $50, 600 to the Chatham Coal6elds
Road. This Road will be of incalculabe benefit to
Raleigh, and to this whole region and also Of great
benefit to the State, We think sound and wise
economy will be consulted and carried out in voting
for the subscription. 1t will render property here
more valuable; and it will aid the poor and those
of moderate means, by affording fuel at cheaper
rates. and, after while, by affording work in the
various factories that will be established. No State,
County, City, or Town was ever injured By judi
cious system Of internal improvements.

EXEMPTIONS. of the most serious difficulties
nearly all the dissatisfaction that arises, is the rule
or manner of granting exemptions. 1t is clearly
and Enthusiastically the duty of every man who is
capable of bearing arms and enduring the hardships
Of camp-life to do so without hesitancy, at time
like this when his country calls. Exemptions should
be made under some fixed and just rule, unbiased
by favor or affection In this State the law exempts
very few, except those who may be pronounced by
physicians as unfit for duty, yet the large number
who obtain certificates from physicians, produces
much discomfort. People find it difficult to believe
that men who until now have been capable of per.
forming any other service, are found to be entire
y unfit to make soldiers. Captious persons or those
who are not very credulous, will in spite of the doc
tors, believe that the disease which now atfiicts
some persons is sheer cowardice more than any
thing else 1t is certainly bot the case with all
In the recent draft, the Colonels and others are
allowed to exempt, without the shadow of reason.
This We consider unfortunate for our cause. In
Virginia this matter is managed with greater pro-
priety. In that State neither the Governor, AdJu-
tant General nor Colones are allowed to grant ex-
emptions. The whole matter has been placed in the
hands of Board Of Magistrates for each County or
corporation. As magistrates are not exempt in this
State, perhaps it would be better to authorize and
direct the County Courts to appoint Board for that
purpose from among the most wise and discreet citi
zens over so years of age.
