VALUE OF KNowLEDGE.--One OF the
most agreeable consequences Of knowl-
edge is the respec. and importance which
it communicates to old age. Men rise in
character often as they increase in years;
they are venerable from what they have
acquired, and pleasing from what they
can impart.

As people usually sprinkle the floors be-

so some ladies sprinkle their husbands with

The CONSERVATION Bill.

We publish a correct copy of this bill, as approx
ed by President Davis, and as published in the
Richmond Enquirer. We have heretofore express
ed our opinion of this bill, not in spirit of cap
tiousness, but honestly and faithfully, as sentinel
upon the watch tower Of the rights of the States
and the rights of the people. Now that we have
seen the law, we see reason to change our opin-
ion of its character. Fearful as We of its uti-
mate effects, we but hope that in its practical
operation the expectations Of its advocates will be
fully realized The Wilmington Journal in allud-
ing to it, holds the following language:
"These extreme stretches of power can find their
justification only in that kind of overrung neces-
sity which permits man to take human life in self
defence However sufficient the justification, the
necessity must always be a painful one, and the
decision upon its existence involves deep respon
sibility. So in this case We must look upon the
action of the law merely temporary, like martial
law We must look upon its character as not other
wise reconcileable with our ideas Of civil freedom.
But as we submit for time to many things, from
sense of duty and conviction of their necessity,
90 we will submit to this, when equally convinced.
We cannot be so with our present knowledge. We
cannot say until we hear more, that further knowl
edge will not convince as.

Extract from letter to the Editor of the Stand
ard, dated at camp of the 9th Regiment, April IT,
1862:
The consumption bill has spread gloom over
our regiment far surprising that caused by the bat
tie of Newbern. Three companies, the Orange
Guards, Goldsboro' Rifles and Guilford Grays were
among the first to leave their homes at the call of
Gov Ellis In few days. we should have compile
ted our contract with the government for service
of twelve months, and hope our part was we'll
done What return do we get for it2 Instead of
being placed in the first or second regiments, We
were kept at Fort Macon and put into the 9th, a
regiment that was denied the privilege of thirty
days furlough. Of course the boys would not re-
enlist without their bounty or furlough Other
egments got tive wanted it too. / fear we shall
get neither-for this morning the Adutant read on
dress parade that the twelve months men were to
serve two years more. There are men who were
drafted few weeks ago, who have been at home at
ease all this time, and who would not have volun-
teered, only they were drafted, have received one
hundred dollars bounty for their patriotism, whilst
we'are pressed without remuneration. 1t is shame
to treat men like brutes. There are very few in
deed, who would not have re-enlsted after a So
journ at home of a few days weeks. We COM
menced fighting Lincoln because he asked for men
now, we are not asked, but pressed. l hope, how
ever, that this cloud may pass away"

The FRENCH MINIsTER.-The precise object of the
visit of Count Mercier the U. S. French Minister is
still in doubt. His official Instructions no doubt re-
late to tobacco, but beyond this it is said, he is
anxious to ascertain the character of the CONNER
cia treaty which could be made with the Confederate
States, and upon what terms DR.. Lemone, a
Frenchman from New Orleans, seems sanguine that
something may be done, and he has implored Con-
gress to remain in session to consider the Counts
propositions The French Minister should be treat
ed courteously, but it will be unwise to make ad-
vances until it is known what Napoleon would do.
Let not this movement lead the people to rely upon
anything from that quarter. As we have said all
along if the South maintains her independence, she
must do it by hard and vigorous fighting.

THg ROANOKE ISLAND DIsAsTER.-We publish to-
day the Report of the Committee Of the House of
Representatives,, appointed to investigate the causes
Of the fall Of Roanoke Island. 1t will be seen that
Gen. Wise and Col. Shaw performed their duty, and
that the troops fought calamity, and surrendered
only to overwhelming numbers; and that the blame
for the fall of the island rests especially and justly
on Gen. Huger and j. P. Benjamin. 1t will also be
seen that the Committee do not agree with Presi-
dent DAVIS that the surrender of the island was
deeply humiliating." The Report is every way
,resta5e to the ability and ftarlessness of the Com
uiree. and of the Chairman, Col Gather.
