weather. MA rkets &c.

The weather continues good for the in
terests of the great Agricultural public
Wheat, and all the other grains and gras-
SEES, we are informed, are growing rapidly.
Corn is atop the ground, but we shall hard.
ly "hear it grow" until the weather gets
several degrees warmer.
The wheat market during the past week
has been quite active. On Friday, we are
informed by f. 8. Reddington, the sales on
the streets as taken from the books of our
produce merchants, were in the aggregate,
IL, 632 bushels. On Saturday, receipts ex-
cceded 10000 bushels. Benton Brothers
& Co. quote No. Wheat at G6@69, and
No. 9 ut 5000.
The New York wheat market advanced
2@3c on Monday, notwithstanding the
steamer 8 news declared declining market
in Liverpool. Lake freiShts on Saturday
declined lc in Chicago and contracts to Buff
falo were made at st cents. These two
circumstances have operated to make the
market quite firm here.
Business Of every kind is very brisk in
town. Our merchants are having great
sales, and arc satisfied with narrow mar
gin of profit. The opening of navigation
on the Mississippi, which now seems pro-
bable to occur soon, would make business
livclier here than ever known heretofore
AS it is, McGregor is prospecting finely, as
any one can sec by glance at the throng-
ed appearance Of Market Square.

tiers who have negroes rendered every day more
liable to be demon ,lized by the near approach to

We have been a li:tle surprised that our Western

advertisement and other means to their force

the papers.
The following remarks of the Salisbury Watch
mna Oh the demand of Western hospitality towards
unr Eastern brethren we commend to the attention
of our Western readers:
the hospitality of the people of Western Caro-
lima is likely to be called forth this spring and
mer, by our refugee friends of the East who have
been driven from their comfortable, well furnished
homes by the ruthless invaders of our soil. 1t is
not for any one to say what should be the exact
measure of kindness shown to these friends by us
who have been more fortunate than they simply by
geographical location But the best rule of conduct
in reference them has been laid down by Infinite
WiSdom-dO unto others as yoW could haze them do
unto yOu In their condition. we would desire, and
could appreciate act of kindness and hospitality
and there should be some pains taken, therefore,
and some selfdenal made, for their accommodation.
They will need boarding houses or houses to live
in. Many of them have sacrificed to the cause of
the South almost entire estates, and may have need
to economist the remnant of their resources. They
should be assisted in this far practicable; and
in every way made to feel that they are among
friends"

but in the superiority of Lieutenant over three

A High Commitment.

The following card which we extract from the
marlborough Argus, is one of the highest compli-
ments which could have been paid to the County of
Arson and to the Committee. II we were sure that
every North Carolina soldier could say much for
every County and every committee in the State, we
should feel thousand fold prouder of our glorious
old Commonwealth:

count OF disability; and take this method Of re-
turning my thanks to the Committee at Wadesboro,
appointed for the purpose of relieving the families
of Volunteers, for the prompt payments, made
monthly, to my family, whilst in the service.
They did their whole duty.

For the Standard.
ISAIAH RESPESS ESQ

Mr.. HOLDEN Il hope, an act of common JUS
tice to that falsely accused and much injured man,
my son-in-law, abovenamed, that the Standard,
and all other papers in the State which lately pub
she6 the fact that he had been arrested and incsr
cerated in dungeon in Richmond, Va, by the mil
tary authorities, for trial, upon charge of treason,
will also publish this article to inform their readers
that he was tried last week, by Court Martial of
their selection, and upon the testimony of their
own witnesses, Qor none were allowed to him, nor
even the benefit of argument of the case, by his
counseD he was "h0nOubly acquitted'-as says
the record of the Court, and that the prosecution
was false and malicious. He was, thereupon, DIS
charged from prison to return home. On Tuesday
last he reached here and next day visited the State
Convention, then in sesson-and the same evening
left for Goldsboro, bearing letter from Gen. Win
der to Gen. Holmes, announcing his honorable &C.
quttal and discharge.
1t is also due to the Hon. Messrs. Bridgers, Smith
and Arlington members of Congress from this State,
that should say, In this connection, on their hear
ing that Mr.. Respess had been dragged from his bed
IN his own house, at late hour Of the night by
military force, when he was scarcely recovered from
long and dangerous illness, and allowed one minute,
only, to hurry on the clothes he had worn the day
before, but not permitted to take any others with
him, and was confined in that den of infamy Nc
Daniels negro Jail, they appealed to the military
authorities of Richmond to allow Mr.. Respess the
benefit of the prison limits essential to his health
perhaps even 10 MS lille, ana they would stand bail
for him in any sum that might be reQuired-aVer-
ring from their knowledge of his character and per-
sonal acquaintance with him, that they were con-
WINGED he was falsely accused and injured man -
Heaven bless them for their generosity and kind
ness But they were insultngly told in reply, that
he should remain where he was, and lift killed him
it would only them the trouble of hanging him,
and that, example had to be made, to terrify
the traitors in North Carolina, in him, they had got
hold of the right person to make that example Of

The Goyernorship.

1t cannot be doubted that the mention of the name
of William A. Graham in connection with the Gu.
bernatoral chair of North Carolina, at this crisis,
strikes cord which vibrates in unison with the
feelings of the people of the State from one end
to the other. In almost every letter we receive,
and the number is very large there is an endorse.
ment of his name. An intelligent friend from the
Mountain District says: "This District will give
Graham from five to seven thousand majority over
any other man the squads bring against him. "
The last Greensboro Patriot says:
A number of highly respectable gentlemen have
been suggested through suitable persons
to fill the office of Governor but none, far we
have been able to discover, appears to strike the
public mind so favorably as WIN. A. Graham His
exalted talents, long experience, his high moral
worth stern integrity and undoubted patriotism all
combine ndesgnating him the man for the present
emergency. We do not believe that there is an
intelligent in the State who has not full conf
dence in the integrity and patriotism of Gov. Ora
ham, And if he will consent to the use of his
name for that purpose the people in this section
will feel that they promoting the best interests
of the State by electing him Governor of North
Carolina"

The Conscription.

Many persons desire information the operation
Of this law We have published the law ITSELF the
bill on exemptions the regulations adopted by the
Secretary of War, and to-day we publish the letter
of the Secretary to Gov. Clark, calculating several
points in its operation.
To relieve further anxiety and to prevent unnec-
essary trouble either to the people to the Military
Department here, in seeking information, we will
say, that as yet no arrangement has been made be-
tween the Governor or Adutant General of the State
and Secretary of War, in regard to the CONSUMPTION
that we know Of Officers have not yet been ap-
pointed to enrol the conscripts to draft them
When this is done the public will be advised of it.
In the meantime we make the following sugges-
tons:
l. Let the people remain at home who do not in
tend to volunteer, and quietly pursue their bust
ness.
2. Until the 18th inst, every man between the
ages of Is and 85-may volunteer and join new
company which can be filled up by that time or one
already in service from this State as a recruit
8. Read the exemption law and see if you belong
to either of the classes therein exempted and if you
do, make yourself easy, and answer to your name
when you called. If no. still wait until you
are called
4. When the names of all those who have not
volunteered between Is and 35 are enrolled, then
the CONSUMPTION will begin. We presume that those
who are necessary to fill up the companies al
ready formed to 125 for infantry $50 for artillery
and so for cavalry will be selected by draft and sent
at once to recruit the companies; and that those
who are not drafted will be sent into camps of in
struction or suffered to remain at home until call
ed for.
3. Those who intend to hire substitutes need not
be in haste, it is understood to be the purpose of
the Secretary of War to release every man in the
army over 30 years of age. Many who are released
will doubtless wish to return, and can readily be
employed as substitutes
G. Whether the Secretary of War designs to re-
lease those persons under Is and 80 years who
substitutes for the war; has not yet been decided
we believe. Ourimpresson, however, IS that persons
who are substitutes for those who are over Is and
under 3d. will be retained in the service but sub
stitutes fer men So may be released.

SMALL ARMs.-One or two recent arrivals have
brought small arms for the Confederacy, but are
inclined to believe that there is pressing necessity
for more arms. 1t is certain that when our or 500
Regiments are filled up to the maximum number of
1850 men, we shall need all the muskets rifles and
doublebarrel guns which can be commanded.
We have heard it said that notwithstanding the
urgent calls made by Gov. Clark upon the people
of this State for their surplus arms, that there are
persons who still keep in their possession two or
three old u S. muskets, rifles, or double-barrelf
guns. We confess that it is difficult for to be-
lieye that this is SO. One gun every man should
keep. The protection and safety of his family re-
auises this, but those who have more than one who
can still hold on to them at time like this, when
the army needs them so much must have but little
sense of their responsibility and duty in this crisis
or of the danger which may befa for the lack of
them. Let such respond to the call Of Gov. Clark
at once and let it longer be said that any man in
North Carolina withhods from the government arms
which he can spare, at time like this. Delays,
inertia or ineciency either the part of the gov
eminent people, will prove seriously detrimental
to our cause at this juncture

The ReSDeSS Ca So.

We learn that the Court Martial which was en-
gagged nearly the whole of last week in Richmond,
in the trial of Isaiah RespeSS the Mayor Of Wash
ington, this State, acquitted him all the charges
brought against him. The Judgment of the Court
approved by the revising authority, and Mr.. r.
released on Monday last Col Tyler, tone of
the Editors of the Richmond E"2uirerJ was Chair.
of the Court assisted by Captains Archer, Bad
ham, Cameron and others. Mr.. Old, formerly
United States Attorney for the District of Columbia
acted as Judge Advocate, and conducted the prose-
cution. Judge W. W. Crump, OF Richmond, and
II. W. Miller, Esq, of this City, appeared for the
accused. We are requested to state that the rumor
which prevails, that Mr.. Respess was acquitted on
the technical objection to the jurisdiction of the
Court, is incorrect The case was tried and decided
on its merits the question of jurisdiction having
been waived for satisfactory to the accused
and his counsel.

THE SEDTTIoS ORDINANCE-The Charlotte Bul-
letin, in noticing the sedition ordinance of Mr.
Rayner, says that it is most bitterly denounced
by the Raleigh Standard" and then adds the fol-
lowing most fearful sentence:
ave doubt very much the loyalty to the State
or Confederate Government, of any man who would
oppose the principles and provisions embraced in
the ordinance"
We hope the members of the Convention will not
faint or go into fits reading the above The
opinions or doubts of the Bulletin certainly are
very serious things People will get scared If the
Bulletin don't mind
1t is nice business-we have come to pretty
pass, when North Carolinans who pretend to res
probability, will employ renegade Englishmen and
Irshmen and Virginians and South Carolinians to
come here to abuse and to call in question the 10y
atty of such men as Badger, Brown Graham, Dick,
Gillner, Speed Barnes, Mitchell Berry, Warren, Sat
terthwaite, Mebane, and host of others, the very
best men in the State, simply for the exercise of an
honest and intelligent judgment Are these the
men that the destructiUes in North Carolina employ
to 90 their dirty work !? Are they to give
tone to public sentiment in this State and mould
public opinion? Whittier are we drifting?
