A friend has kindly seyt US, among other Convention
documents, report from Adjt Gen. Martin, dated Dec.
9th showing the number of men from each county in
the State according to the returns received and muster
rolls on file in his Office but not including companies
that have gone directly into the Confederate service
The statement 10 only up to The lst Dec last. 1t
braces IS complete regiments, incomple e at that
date and $50 in unattached companies of part Of
which the two incomplete regiment and another, the
38th have since been made no. The aggregate the
1st Dec. "a 36l This has undoubtedly been large
ly increas since. Fer instance learn that Capt
McLauchlin's company, upwards of 20 il number,
Gently organized in this county, will take up line Of
march to-day for Raleigh And doubtless several others
have been organized since that time But besides these
know that there large deficiencies in this report
For il stance, the Bethel Regiment is summed up at
liza, whereas know that, after number OF deaths
and discharges it actually had l403 men, the excess
the liza having been caused by the ssion Of
numerous volunteers to almost all if not all of the orr
ginal companies OF which reported at Raj
egb, but all reported at Richmond The two compa-
MES from this county in that regiment put down
204 whereas, they left here with 225, and att rwards
received about so recruits. Adding these ard Capt
McLaucbns company to the 1853 reported by the Adjt
General makes rather more than 900 from this county
In the 32d regiment the report states that two whole
companies are not ,umeraed because no roll had been
received from them and the counties from which they
were not known.
Taking all these things into consideration, we have
not doubt that Gen. Martins "a 36l would be sweled
to 10000 by full return.
We proceed to give the aggregate reported from
each county, and add the white population of EACH
that it may be which have bs done their duty in
proportion to that white population

We have given the figures of the printed report Of
the Adjutant General; but these totals do not agree
with the summing up of the items in less than II OF
the counties Whether the errors be in the report itself
or in the print cannot tell whether they be in
the items in the total. But the items in Alex
ander county foot up total OF $780, instead of 42O,
printed Arson $50 instead of $780, Beaufort go in
stead of 667 Dupin ATS instead of 476; Henderson
1872 instead OF 1872 Lenoir 308 instead of 238 Lin
coin 1913 instead of 1893 Montgomery 209 instead of
316; Nash 282 instead of 28l ; New Hanover 1913
instead of $685. Northampton 388 instead of 1873
Surrv 422 instead of 322.

PUNCH ON JoNATHAN-We understand that Punch
has been recently working up Jonathan most assdu-
ouay, and that he has made great deal out OF him.
A number just received, which have not s:en has,
we learn, most capital hit. The whole number near
ly devoted to the universal and arna Yankee and is
exceedingly rich. The principal picture represents
Lord Palmerston in his own room, which is Just en-
tered by long, gaunt, slabsided sneaking, prying
Yankee dressed in the most approved style of down
east fashion, with ouched hat boots with pants
stuffed inside and bit of the stars and stripes about
his shoulders. Addressing himself to Lord Pamerston
with sinister expression of face, be says
My Lord 4: Are there any Confederates here?
Lord Palmerston makes no reply, but speaks to

MAIL RoUrEs.-There is great necessity for mail
on the Wilmington, Charlotte Rutherford Rail Road,
and as act No. 259 passed by Congress, and approved
on the Both Of August, 1861, provides for mail en-
said route we see no reason why mail has not been
placed upon said road.

The rocings of the Northern papers over the terri
BILE fire at Charleston to have created An impression
abroad which hardly be regarded as favorable to
the Northern people or government. The London
Chronicle distinctly charges the fire upon DcendHrles
in the pay of the Lincoln government whose system OF
warfare is denounced as that OF the assassin and ncen
diary upon land while its attempts by sea to CHOKE the
harbors of commercial ports denounced as bArba-
Gus and uncivized. Whether dservedy or not, Ger
tainy the Washington government gets tue credit OF
the Charleston fire. and of all the attempts at incendia
rsm that have been in the Southern States since the
war commenced.

1T WOULD SEEM that General Beauregard is indeed
going to the Western seat of War; and, of course eav
ing that on the Potomac This may be regarded as
certain indication that the valley of the Mississippi is
looked upon as the point of St pressing danger and
the theatre of the decisive movements during the
next few months.
The army Of the Potomac will deeply regret parting
with its id LIKED leader for after ALL although second In
command to both the Johnstons, and probably not su
perior to either of them in ability patriotism crcum
stances have given to General Beauregard prestige
both at home and abroad which does not attach to any
other military man on the American continent.
We do not believe that be wishes to claim anything
for himself to the dsparagemen of bis gallant cempeers,
and have reason to believe that such thing as ea
ousy between him and General Johnston is thing not
even dreamed of
Wherever General Beauregard may go, he will carry
with him the respect and admiration of the people OF
the Confederate States and the fullest confidence of the
army.
We understand that part OF General Beauregarts
baggage has already passed through this place, which

THE IDEA of the New York Times, that the gun

of old huks nor sufficient quantity of granite at the
North to ELL up permanently the entrance to the harbor

fail to effect their vndictiye purpose against that peo-

REVENUE STAMps.-The impression
has gone abroad that the law, with refer
ence to the Internal Revenue Stamps,
will not be enforced until the first of JAN
uary. This is mistake. All penalties for
uon-use of these stamps are now in force,
aud they will be rigidly enforced as fast
as the various stamps are issued. The
Commissioner has made a decision rela-
tive to tax stamps on checks, drafts, notes,
&c. 1t is of interest to every business
man, and is as follows:
WASHINGTON, Oct. %, 1927 would say,
that when maker of check, draft, note, or
any other document, shall neglect to put on
the required stamp, it will not do for the party
receiving the same to affix the stamp and can
eel it, but it must be returned to the maker
for him to do it.

psEThe Hughes.ites in PENNSYLVANIA

D@The Hughes-ites in Pennsylvania
are already beginning to fear the bolting Of
some true men from their traitor party ;
they threaten death, worse than the Eng
lish punishment for treason, and say that
it were better for them that ''mill-stone
were hanged about their necks and they
were cast into the depths of the sea. /"
"The wicked fee when no man pursu-
eth" Convinced of their own rottenness
the leaders fear that their followers may
detect it and thus defeat their pretty plans
for embarrassing the government. "There
is many slip 'twixt the cup and the lip"
Frank Hughes may be United States
Senator and, he may not. There exists
a possibility that some one else may claim
that position. We advise Frank to work
hard against this possibility. Remember
Vallandigham's fate Buckle on your
armor, but threaten not !; drunken men
aud fools quite often run their necks into
the very moose they most industriously
sought to avoid.
