1t is reasonable calculation and the facts would
support the assumption that the increase of slaves
in the above Counties for the past ten years 20
per Ct, which added to the above would make 49,
4sa, whose aggregate value at an average of $500
would be 1921 900. There has been a still
greater increase in that region since 1850 in the
culture of confidence we put down the average
increase to be third which would make 1885,
532 bushels of corn raised in the above Counties in
1860, which, at 81 per bushe, would be 81, $780,
5S2 There has been corresponding increase in
the production of pork, beef and mutton, which,
in 1861 must have been valued at $7S2, 974 but at
present prices would be worth to the government
$2,34S92 Here then, it will be seen that the
misguided policy which allowed the enemy to enter
Hatteras, has been at sacrifice of Norfolk and un-
told injury to Virginia, and the ruin of twelve
Counties in Eastern Carolina of great value to the
South for their bread and meat, and almost the en-
tire loss of $22 900 in slaves But it must be
remembered that we have made no estimate of other
crops besides and of the immense losses by the
breaking up of the tar and turpentine the fishing,
the lumber and shingle interests, which far exceed
in value the farming operations of that wealthy
section.
The following Counties lie upon and East of the
Wilmington and Weldon Railroad not in the ene-
mys lines. We give the number of slaves, pro-
duct of corn, and amount of pork, beef and mutton
slaughtered in 1870.

Total,
Conscripts..Their RIGHTS.

1t is expressly provided by the CONSUMPTION law,
that "persons enrolled shall be assigned by the
Secretary Of War to the different companies now in
service, until each company is filled to its maximum
number; and the persons so enrolled shall be as
respectively come"
The intention of the law is to give the conscript
choice as to his company or regiment This he is
entitled to. Soon after Gov. Vance came into Office,
under pledge from the government at Richmond,
he announced that the conscripts from this State
would be allowed to choose their own regiments; ;
but this pledge has not been fulfilled by the Secre-
tary of Var, and now, and for weeks past the con-
scripts from this State have been hurried off and
consigned, like bales of merchandise, to the differ
ent regiments without allowing them the slightest
choice as to where they would go. When man
offers to lay down his life for his country it is hard
to deny him the right to choose his company or reg
iment.
Under the announcement above referred to by
Gov Vance, and for several weeks thereafter, until
the order was revoked by the Secretary of War; the
increase of the number of conscrpts at Camp Holmes
was serenity per day-thus showing the difference
in obtaining recruits between the budding off and
consigning tolicy, which had previously prevailed
and the policy of Gov Vance, by which the con-
scripts were allowed to choose their own regiments
A Mr.. Goodwin, Of Virginia, was permitted not long
since, by the Secretary of War, to raise regiment
composed Of conscripts in this State; but the same
Secretary now forbids conscrpts to select their
reoiments even and permits his subordinates to
hurry them off to such points and such regiments
as then may select as if they were cattle, or the
down-trodden serfs of France or Russia We ap-
peal to the law on this subject, and we demand JUS
tice for our people Surely, if Virginian is per-
mitted to have whole regiment Of our conscripts,
and the same privilege is denied to North Carroll
mans, who desire to raise regiments the poor favor
might be conceded to our conscrpts of selecting their
regiments in Virginia
But North Carolina has no voice in the Cabinet,
and her counsels are but little needed in Richmond.
Those who have the ear of the President are origi-
nal secession partizans, as are most OF his appoin
tees, who have little sympathy with, or knowledge
of. the temper and wishes of our people. Let
our good old State be justly and kindly treated and
defended by the common government as other States
are defended and she will set no limits to her en-.
durance, or to her sacrifice of blood and treasure
but though humble and unpretending she is proud
of her character and jealous of her liberties and she
will not consent to be "Issachar, the strong ass
of this new Confederation, touching down between
two burdens" She belongs to the tribe Of zebulon

Business of much Importance will no doubt at once

1t is expected by the people that the Conserva-

cessionsts shall give place to Conservatives. And
we may add, the people not only expect but demand
this; and if any of our friends members of the Leg

LET them ask for instructions this subject from the

spectully appeal to the Conservatives to attend in

Eastern North Carolina.


The immense value of Eastern North Carolina to
the Southern Confederacy cannot well be estima-
ted when considered simply as source of food for
our army and people. When it is also considered
as question of revenue, to enable the government
to carry on the war; and ultimately to pay the war
debt its protection against the ravages of the Yam
KEGS becomes question of the utmost Importance.
To North Carolnians, especially, who in some
form or other must shoulder the State debt, past,
present and future whether Eastern Carolina shall
be overrun by the Yankees and despoiled of its
slaves and other sources of wealth or not is ques
ton of little less importance than that of life and
death.
In order to bring this matter still more directly
before the people of the State, and also to the no.
tice of the Confederate government we have taken
the pains to prepare tables from the census of 1850
in order to make proximate estimate of the num-
Der OF negroes amount of raised and the value
Of the pork, beef and mutton, first in those Coun-
ties already in the hands of the Yankees and second
ly, those lying upon and East of the Wilmington and
Weldon Railroad, liable to be overrun by the Yam
KEGS during the approaching winter.
First, we give the Counties already in the enc
my's possession, with the number of negroes, bush
els Of corn raised, and the value of the pork beef
and mutton slaughtered in 1850, and the probable
statistics of those Counties in 1860:

,Peace..Blessed Peace i

We are told, in the Holy Scriptures, that I" the
efectual, fervent prayer Of the righteous man avail
eth MUCH" Our clergy and people have been pray
ing for more than ayear, that God would bless our
armies and give them victory over our enemies. -
This was we'll We have defeated the enemy in
many pitched battles but the war seems no nearer
Its end than it did twelve months ago. If fighting
would end it. it would seem that we had fought
enough.
We venture to suggest, with the utmost respect
for the reverend clergy and for the sincerely Chris
tan people whom we have among us, that prayer
be made for an honorable peace. The sublime
burden Of the song of the angels who announced
the birth of the Redeemer, was ION earth
peace, good will toward men," War, however Just
and necessary, is opposed, in itse!f to truth and
righteousness. 1t is permitted only that good may
De brought forth from evil. In itsey it is an evil
to any people, and it is engaged in only under the
belief that the good which will flow from it, in the
end, will more than compensate for the evil it brings
with it.
The people Of this State will accept no peace that
IS not honorable They feel that they are not to
blame TOR this war. They did not desire it. and they
resorted to all honorable means to avoid it. 1t was
forced upon them. They might have avoided it, if
they could have turned their hands against their
Southern brethren. They could not do that. Many
OF those brethren had erred, and had blindly pur-
sued such course as to lead to war; but they could
not abandon them to the sword of common. gov.
eminent, which, instead of executing vengeance on
the few, should have borne with them in spirit of
justice and mercy. Oh if human power had only
been touched with small portion of the Divine
attributes of justice and long suferlng, how many
calamities and horrors would have been averted -
But God was dethroned and the Devil ruled among
u.s. and hence the evils that now surround and con-
front US.
One fervent, united prayer for peace mag avail.
The Ruler of men and nations may hear and nsay
change the hearts of our enemies. Is i: not worth
the trial?

NORTHERN DEMocRAcY.-The recent successes Of
the Democrats over the Black Republicans at the
North caused some citation in some minds, hoping
that it BODIED good to the South. ANY decided ex-
PRESTON of the masses of the North against the in
human and wicked policy of Lincoln, is favorable
omen only SO far as it indicates return to civillza-
uon but augurs no abatement of the purpose OF the
North to carry on the war. Northern Democrats
are as thoroughly pledged to the vigorous prosecu-
Ton of the war as the Lincolntes-indced more so
possible, but they propose to do so according to
The recognized rules of civilized warfare. Mr. Sey
nour, the Democratic candidate for Governor in
New York, in very denunciatory speech the other
Jay against Lincoln and his abolition policy, decar-
Ell that he never would consent to the dissolution OF
ne Union. He goes further than John Van Buren, or
'allandingham Nevertheless we prefer vastly the
success of the Democrats over the Black Republl-
ans. hoping that as they have not lost ali reason
puu justice, they may return to sound MIND
policy.
