For the Standard.
Mr.. EDIToR:- desire to PROFOUND few ques-
tons, which hope your position as public jour-
nalist will enable you to answer.
1st-What ratio of the white population of the
States was called for by the Confederate govern
ment, to fill up the army? 2d-Has not North
Carolina furnished more than her quota? 3d-If
so, what justice is there in calling for more, until
all the States have furnished the same proportion of
troops? 4th-Does not the conscript law allow the
men to choose their regiment and company, when
not full? 5th-Ifso, what right had the Command.
ant at Statesve to refuse that privilege which he
did? 6th-Did not the conscript law contemplate
only keeping the giments then in the field, full
If so, what right had the Secretary of War to
thorize the organization of new regiment (f not
two regments) at Salisbury, out of conscripts al
ready enrolled as such? If satisfactory answers
can be given to these queries it will oblge,
ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
September, 1862.
We are not able to answer all the questions pro-
pounded by our correspondent
We do not know whether North. Carolina has
furnished more than her quota or not She has
fty-nine regiments, which contained originally not
less than fifty-fve thousand men. She has proba-
bly, now in the field, forty thousand effective fight
ing men, leaving out thousands of sick and wound
ed Our regiments have been greatly thiDned by
battle and disease. They have been, in greater or
less numbers, in all the battles, and their losses
have been very heavy-not less in all, probably, by
disease and battle, than fifteen thousand.
1t was estimated, when the conscript law was
passed. that it would raise seven hundred thousand
men. We think it probable that the Confederate
States have now in service or on the rolls, about
four hundred thousand Of whom three hundred and
fifty thousand are effective fighting men. They
are nearly all veterans, and could meet and van
quish six hundred thousand of the enemy.
The conscript law does allow the men to choose
their own companies and regiments, and, under
Gov. Vance, an order has been made to that effect
The conscript law intended to fill up the reg.
iments, as we'll as to keep the twelve months regi
ments in the service. We know of no law by
which the Secretary Of War was authorized to form
new regiments in this State, but it is to be pre-
sumed that he acted under some law on the subject

EVACUATION OF SUFFoLK.-We learn that the
Yankee forces have retired from Suffolk, and that
Gen. Pettigrew with his brigade, left Petersburg
on Sunday for the former place. This gives room
for hope that the Abemarle region will soon be rid
of the enemy 1t is pretty we'll ascertained that all
the gunboats have already left Chowan river.

Our Army IN MARYLAND.-It is stated that nine
divisions of our army have crossed the Potomac,
Gen D. H. Hill, of this State, in the lead. We
probably have therefore, in Maryland not less than
one hundred and forty thousand men. Gen. Hill,
with NorthCarolina troops, leads the advance This
is an honor for the old State, which will be fully
sustained by our brave troops.

JUST AS WE PREDIcrED.-The Yankee Newborn
Progress, Philadelphia Inquirer and other Northern
papers claim the election of Gov Vance as Union
or Lincoln triumph, and they quote from the State
Journal, Raleigh Register, Winston Sentinel, Ire
dell Express and such like papers to prove it. This
ia what we told those journals would be the effect of
their course towards Gov Vance and his supporters
during the canvass. No word ever dropped from
the Standard or other conservative papers of the
State, or from the lips of Gov Vance any of his
friends, to justify such CHARGE it was denied over
and over again, and yet those INSCRIPTIONS parzan
journals continued to repeat it. Let the people
mark such papers and put the seal of condemnation
upon them. They have slandered and vfed two
thirds Of the people and army of North Carolina,
and held them up as traitors to the South when they
knew better; and now they hypocritically endorse
Gov. Vances Inaugural and claim that his views are
identical with theirs

Yellow Fever in Wilmington.

We regret to learn that yellow fever has made its
appearance at Wilmington, in very malignant form.
1t is supposed to have been brought there by the
crow of the Kate, or some other vessel which has
recently run the blockade. About so or 40 cases
are said to have occurred, and number of deaths.
The most active cxertons have been made to cleanse
the town and prevent its spreading Numbers of
persons are fleeing from the place.

freedom Of the Press and of the Citizen,
IN Wednesday, the 10th, Mr. Haynes, Of Tennes.
see introduced the following resolutions in the Sen.
ate which were referred othe judiciary committee:
ResoIced That the Judiciary COMMITTEES he instructed
to inquire into the expediency Of proydino NV nnder
proper sanction, that military commander within his
department or elsewhere within the Con federse States
shall suspend or abrdge the freedom of speech or of the
Press and fixing suitable penalties for the abuse of nch
freedom when exercised to disturb the public nrace or in
cite to domestic violence or rebellion against the Coincide
Pesued, That said Committee further inquire into tbe
proprey Of declaring by law that during the time the
citizen of the Confederate States who has been or NAV
hereafter be arrested and imprisoned and who part
OF the anor naval force Of the militia in actual SERVICE
ment or Indictment by grand jury and requiring such
commander other person making forth in
the order OF the and nature of the accusation
such CITIZEN with reasonable certainty and report
the same to the President with the Of all citizens
arrested and the places of their confinement to be laid by
hm before the two Houses of Congress at the commence
Reotued That martial law is unknown to the Consti-
tuition OF the Confederate States and that the declaration
thereof in any department suspendng the civil jurisdiction
Of the State and Confederate Courts find apology only
on the ground of paramount necessity for the public safety
and that the Judiciary Committee be instructed inquire
INTO the proprety of reporting bill to the Senate to abol
sh and further to inquire Whether Congress has power
by law to protect these persons against actions in DANA
ges tor alleged wrongs who ha bona and in the ex
ercse OF sound discretion proclaimed and exercised

The above resolutions seem to be just in their
principles, and demanded by the condition of things
In war, as we'll as in peace the people should keep
their eyes steadily fixed on great Constitutional
principles, and permit no departure from them, ex-
cept when absolutely necessary to the country
ITSELF Nor is it frequently, if ever necessary to set
aside the law and trample on the Constitution, to
save the country. Cases of this kind should be pal
pably and painfully clear, leaving other course at
all possible to be pursued "Power is always steal
ing from the many to the few" Let the zaw be
honored and magnified, and let our Constitutions,
both State and Confederate, be sacredly observed.

The Latest News.


No direct intelligence had been received in Rich
mond from our Army in Maryland at our last ad
vices later than the 10th. At that period, most of
Gen. Lees forces around Frederick. Our
soldiers were in good spirits and had been able to
purchase shoes, &C., at low prices.
Northern accounts represent that the Confederate
forces had not entered York. Penn, up to the 9Th
but were at Emmetsburg, Md. Confederate pickets
are also said to be in the neighborhood of Ecott's
Mills The New York Herald had received ntelli-
gence that Gen. Jackson had entered Hagerstown
on the 10th.
Great confusion exists at Washington and Bali-
more as to the movements and designs of Gen. Lee
Mcclellan is said to have advanced to attack our
forces at Poolesvll,e but could not find the Confed
crates.
Gen. Lee Of course adopts the necessary methods
to keep the enemy ignorant of his intentions.
number of our soldiers, overcome by the rapid
marches of army, are said to have given out on
the way, and were in destitute condition Some
had struggled into the enemy's lines at Alexandria.
There was a rumor at Richmond, that Federal
cavalry we're advancing upon Warrenton, Va, in
the rear of our army.
In Western Virginia our forces were driving the
enemy from the Kanawha. Large numbers OF re.
crults were rallying to Gen. Lorng from that sec
ton.
1t is difficult to ascertain the precise position Of
Gen. Kirby Smith. Northern accounts represent
him as advancing upon Covington. 1t was expect
ed that Gen. Humphrey Marshall would join him.
We have nothing definite from Gen. Briggs ar.
my He is said to have crossed the Cumberland
river at Carthage Tenn. The rumor of the evacu'
alton of Nashville needs confirmation, though there
are indications Of such a purpose. Some Northern
papers declare it to be their purpose to hold it.

News from the Armies.

Perfectly reliable news from the Army in Mary
land is difficult to obtain. A dispatch to the Char
lesion papers, dated the 18th, states that General
"Stonewall" jackson had encountered the enemy
within Is miles of Baltimore and beaten him, but
it has not been confirmed. A "Marylander " also
reported on the 10TH that our army was in posses
sion of the Relay House; that Stuarts cavalry had
destroyed Back River Bridge on the Baltimore and
Philadelphia Rail Road, and that the citizens of
Baltimore had risen masse and beaten the Yankee
troops and hung several wretches. These rumors
are all premature or without foundation.
The most reliable account is, that nine divisions
of our army had advanced across the Potomac-had
taken possession of Frederick City, and that Gen.
Jackson's column had advanced as far as Hanover,
York county, Pa, about So miles from Harrisburg.
1t is stated that on the sth, Gen. d. H. Hills d.
vision occupied Hagerstown and that at Poolesville
fight occurred in which we captured 1000 prison.
ers and large quantity of commissary stores b.

Gen. Lee hao notified the government not to send
him any more supplies. Col. Bradley I. johnson
led the first Of our regiments into Frederick. He
had been appointed Provost Marshall of that place.
ExGov. Lowe, of Maryland, had been appointed
Provisional Governor by President Davis. Our
commanders had proclaimed to the Marylanders that
they had come as friends and not as enemies, and
Thousands were flocking to our standards.
Great excitement prevails throughout Maryland
Pennsylvania, and the entire North. The defence
of Washington claims the first attention of the YAM
kees but the Confederates will evidently strike at
other points first.
Up to this present writing, We have no important
news from the West other than will be found in the
