= Mr.. EDITOR: There is one thing / want
to say to you, anditis this: The Convention.
passed. zanY Ordinance %forbidding the distili
ling of grain into liquor, and some persons
did stop after the 10Th of April last and
waited for the crop of Fruit, and when that
was all boiled up they then commenced on
the Chinese sugar cane seed, and some of
them that could not get cane seed bought a
barrel or two of rice, so as toaenable them to
eyade the law, and are sitting of it, and as |
understand from the owner of a certain mill
where some Of them have been getting their
grain ground, that they are now having as
much corn and rye ground as ever they did.
Now, Mr.. Editor, | drop you this hint, to let
you know what sort of law-abidingi men we
have up here on Yadkin river. There are
now in the counties of Forsyth and Yadkin,
four large distilleries running, and they are
raising the price of. corn so it will soon be
impossible for poor people to get it. And
all these men are crying out for the South,
and saying they don't see what is to become
of the poor people if this war lasts much
longer, &c. Isee that the Governor in his
Proclamation, says that he don't intend tc
allow any grain to be wasted by distillation
I therefore give you this information, 81
that if Gov. Vance sees the good Spirit, h
may know what is going on in this part 0
the State and take steps to stop it, if h
chooses, &C.. *

The President has callai for tllraa L1-aslrol
thousand additional soldiers. The country is
responding promptly, enlistments are going
rapidly forward, and the men VIII soon be in the
field. Three hundred thousand guns will be i'm
mediately required to arm them. Is the orc
nance department prepared to meet this demand7
Is iFprepared TO place in the hands of each man
either q Springfield or Enfield ri1ed musket, or
some other safe and efficient arml We all know
that a sufficient number Of the Springfield and
Enfield guns cannot be made in time, as evi-
denced by the fact that considerable part of the
force now in the field is armed with smooth
bored guns. The government can produce the
Springfield rifle only at the rate of some 1900
per month. Private contractors are n5t prOdu-
cling thousand a month We doubt indeed,
whether Thousand guns Of the Springfield pat
tern have as yet been delivered from ali the pri-
yate manufactures OF the country Where then
are our arms TO come from7 We should have
less anxiety on this subject if our ordnance de
psrtment had heretofore shown efficiency in the
discharge Of its duties Unfortunately our chiei
of ordnance, we all know, is disposed to practice
cruel and expensive economy, and pursue a
sort Of hand-tO-mouth policy, which, If it can
furnish the supplies needed for today allows TO-
morrow to take care of itself
We fear that unless the Secretary of Wal
gives the matter his attention, when these men
present themselves FOR service, it viii be discov
cred that there are no good guns for them. We
are aware that there are in the arsenal some IJO-
600 guns. But they are nearly all entirely unit
for use, the chief Of ordnance himself being
judge, they being refused arms from Austria
and Belgium, in the purchase of which, as We
learn by the report rom the ordnance depart
msnt, recently published the government go
badly cheated-NOritera paper.

French Version of lhe Battle OF


The explanation given by the French papers
on the battle Of Puebla, in which the zouaves
were repulsed is that il was merely a vanguard
fight in which the main army did not partiei-
pate. The zOuavss had been sent to recOnnoiter,
and when they came in sight of the nights which
defend the city Of Puebls, they imagined they
could take the city themselves, and the colonel
il command, yielding to the wishes Of his men,
gave orders to charge. They were Tepulsed,
rallied twice, came back upon the fOrtifcations,
were again Iepulsed, and were finally compelled
to fall back upon the main army under the order
of L0rencez. This version Of the fight is ap-
proved and sanctioned by the Mexican CORE
spondent of the London Times in his letters to
that paper
The French government having received dis
| patches stating that the French army was safely
encsmped in the province Of PUebis, upon one
Of the healthiest spots in the world, is said to
have postponed sending reinfOrcements till the
middle of September, st which time the black
vomito has disappeared from Vera Cruz. This
explains the paragraph lately published in the
Palrie in which it is said that the fleet Of trans
ports ready to start fer Mexico had received
orders to postpone its departure.

quite lively on the north bank Of the Ohio. oppo-
site Henderson. The Evansville Ind.) Journal
says the news of the guerrilla raid on Newburg
reached Lafayette on Sunday morning last. and
was announced in the churches In the after
noon public meeting was held, and over 200
men volunteered to assist in driving them from
our borders. They started on Monday, and
were uniformed at Indianapolis, and arrived at
Evansr vile, accompanied by their arms on Tues
day morning, and leis for the seat of war before
noon. They are men Of the right spirit A fine
company Of German citizens Of Ierre Hsute
was organized on Sunday, ard arrived at Evans
vile, on Monday. They are q robust, athletic
sort of men, and include justices OF the peace,
hotel keepers, prOvisioners, thrifty mechsnics
etc They are all fighting men, and are rapidly
peTfectng themselves in drill Among the
military companies which have arrived there
the Journal also mentions q fine company made
up from the cOnvalescent soldiers Of the TerEe
Hsute hospitals, under command of Capt. Ike
Mshan, who served during the three months
| campaign in the llth regiment, under Lew.
Wallace. They are al veterans.
COls. Gsrvin and Wilder on Saturday, in four
hours, raised 500 volunteers in Decatur county,
and landed them in Evansville fully armed and
equipped on Monday morning These are
samples only of the state Of feeling throughout
the State. Had the ezigencies Of the case de
manded 1t, 10000 men or more would now be on
the borders from the interior, and 10000 more
from the border would have Joined them. The
Journal states that information was received
there at military headquarters on Tuesday night
that the guerrillss were preparing to cross the
river in large force a few miles below Mount
Vernon. Prompt measures were taken by Gen
Blythe to protect the city and to send aid to
Mount Vernon if found necessary. Scouts were
sent down TO learn the true state Of affairs who
upon their return, reported the people below in
state of great excitement, and al under arms,
but no crossing was made, the rebels doubtless
