WILMINGTON, N, e., Sept. 9th. 1862.

WILMINGTON, N. e., Sept 9th, 1862
Mr.. EDIToR:-Much excitement has prevailed
here since the commencement of the recent battles
near Manassas. Rumors and speculations of various
kinds have been rife. To show that the "reliable
gentleman" is still actively employed, there is a
rumor, with confirmation, that families are rapidly
moving out of Washington City-that the Presi-
dent and Cabinet had left OF course it is prema-
ture. Tis q common thing to see the subjects of
dame runaor crowd around Ia certain corner in Town
to listen to "the very latest" Another rumor is
that the Government would, until q certain time,
receive proposals for good strong wagons to trans
port money from one place to another. There is
little credence attached to this judging from tho
amount that is aaoat.
The change that has taken place since the elec-
ton of new Governor, is far beyond description
YOU can scarcely meet man now but what thinks
Col. Vance is going to make most capital Govern.
or. A good many, who know voted for Mr.. john
son, deny having voted at all The great noise and
fury have all died out and we all here are compare
lively living in peace. Business is pretty good
Salt to-day is up to S12, so per bushel. It would
pay one to come and take look at the works.
Every one who can possibly raise money enough to
procure the pans which seems now to be the most
difficult part of the business is going into it. One
firm is turning out one hundred bushels per day,
which, at the figures it is at to-day, will be s., ,250
per day-deducting from that amount $500 per
bushel for making ETC., which salt makers say will
cover all expenses, would leave nett amount, which
is all clear profit 1887 80. There are six men in
the firm, which divided, would nett each man $14s
per day.
large steamer loaded with arms, merchandise,
etc. ETC., has recently arrived at Confederate port.
1t pays any one to run the blockade now, even at
great risk, judging from the prices brought at the
last sale in this place.

PRIVATE JAMES q. POOL.

z HhlVAlE JAmGS d. fOO1A
MR EDITOR Having participated in the late eu-
fgsgement at Washington, we will be pardoned for
appearing before the public where the motives are
simply to do justice to true merit.
Private James Il. Pool, son Of Capt Pool who
was in command, and a member of his fathers COM
pany, 10th Reg N. C. T., was in the engagement
and highly distinguished himself for most intrepid
conduct. As witnesses of his true heroism, we
should do violence to our sense of duty soldiers,
as well as to true martial WORTH did we fail to bring
it to the attention of the public, and especially to
the attention of those who have the power to re-
ward it.
He fought under Capt Manney, who took charge
Of the artillery captured from the enemy and man.
aged them so effectually. Young Pool fought as q
gunner, and when the enemy's gunboats had got in
perfect range of the guns stationed in the street
when grape canister and shell few like hail around
him, and the men by his side FELL one by one, dead
or wounded undsmayed he stood when almost the
last man by the guns had been disabled, and with
unblanched eye and steady nerve he held the Ian.
yard in his hand, waiting for the command to fire.
Never was gallantry, in youth or age, more con-
spcuous. Never did man occupy, on any field, a
more dangerous position with less apparent emotion.
No words can express the admiration of those who
witnessed it, and every man who saw young Pool
in the midst of that shower of grape canister, and
shell, and the stern defiance which he exhibited,
would be glad to see him suitably promoted. If
ever private won a commission by good conduct ON
the field James H. Pool has Justly earned it

Counterfeit Confederate Notes Again.
] The following, taken from an exchange, may be
of odv nta oe tn our readers


s1OO-The sailor is in the left hand and leans
upon anchor diagonally across the vignette from
left to right, IN the genuine there is hair line very
distinct, as if the stone from which the impression
was taken had been broken or cracked. In the
counterfeit there is no such blur or hair line. In
the centre vgnette right side the Cotton press
is mule-in the genuine it is very indistinctly ex
ecuted, and the mule looks as if he were walking
from you, presenting only tail view-in the coun-
terfeit it is much palmer, and the mule presents
almost broadside view.

sailor that is leaning forward, is partly bald-in the
counterfeit more full head of hair; have seen none
signed, except on the left NJ. C. Riggs, letter A

The knob or handle on iron chest is not on the
counterfeit -~-r
s2O.-The sailor in the left hand corner again be-
trays the counterfeit
In the genuine the crown of the sailors hat is
very much broader than in the counterfeit-the
shading lines in his jacket in genuine, run square
across his body-in the counterfeit they run dlago.
naliy across the body.
The paper of the counterfeit is whittier, stffer and
better than the genuine.
With these tests there will be no difficulty in dis.
eliminating between the genuine and the spurious
notes.

CONSOLATION IN HISTORY.

In view of the parallel so often drawn between
the Confederate States and Prussia under the reign
of Frederick the Great it might prove Of interest to
many and of great hope to ALL in this unequal strug-
gle, to know what was accomplished by great
leader and willing people, against the most tremen
dous odds. Without going into historical particu-
lars or the various combinations Of French Rus
SLAMS, Austrians and Swedes against Frederick, q
glance at one campaign, that of 1857, is sufficient
to show the transendant abilities of the man, and
the determination of his people. 1t is estimated
that at the commencement of this campaign the va.
rious combinations against him amounted to sOo,-
900 men, whilst he had force to oppose them Of
only 1000! Ye: he, with numbers greatly in
feror to his enemies defeated them in nearly every
battle.
On May, 9Th, 1857, was fought the battle of Pra.
que. The Austrians numbering $4,000, command
ed by Prince Charles, were defeated BY Frederick
with $4,000 men, they losing $1,000 killed and
wounded The battle of Kolin fought 18th June,
was defeat to the Prussians.. They lost II 900,
and the Austrions 5000 killed and wounded. The
Austrians had go, 900, commanded by Count Daun,
whilst Frederick had only $4,000. The battle of
Jasgendoiff fought August 30th, was complete
victory for Frederick. The Russians 120 900, COM
manded by General Apraxin, were routed by Mar
shall Lehwald With only %, 900 men. The Russians
lost 6,5Oo killed and wounded, and the Prussians
$500. Frederick gained another great victory at
Rosback on the 9Th November. With only 20, 900
he defeated the allies under the Prince of Soubse,
numbering 1000 men. Whilst his loss was only
500 killed and wounded, the allies lost $500 killed
and wounded and 6,290 prisoners! Frederick was
not so fortunate at Bresau, November 22d. He was
defeated by the allies under Prince Charles, the al.
lies having 90O0o and he very little over onefourth
of their numbers-2S,OO0. The allies lost 1000
killed, 1900 wounded; the Prussians lost. 1900
killed, 5000 wounded, and $500 prisoners. For
this disaster he was amply repaid by the recapture
of Breslau, which surrendered on the 10Th Decem-
Der, when the Austrians lost l3 generals, 700 Off
GERS, and II, $50 prisoners At the battle of Lissa
fought on the 9th December, the Austrians, under
Prince Charles, numbered 10000, whilst Frederick
had to contend with this immense host only onethrd
of their number-S0, 900. The Austrians lost Z, 400
killed and wounded and 800 prisoners; the Prus-
SLAMS 1000 killed and wounded. This great victory
of Frederick ended the campaign of 1857.
This is enough to show what generalship and
good cause can accomplish. With united people
and able leaders subjugation is impossible; and in
view of McClellans frequent "change of base" and
Popes fleetness Of foot the remark will apply to
them that was made of the Syedes when they IN
vaded the dominions of Frederick, and were chased
out, they "crept in like foxes, but ran out like
| res."-Rich. Whig

,FUssY.-Brigadcr General Robert Toombs Of the
army has publicly denounced Major General Daniel
H. Hill, also of the army, as 50 co,card and liar"
This is good joke! Gen. Daniel H. Hill-Bethel
Hnl-a coward Daniel II. Hill, the Presbyterian
Elder whose piety has besn hitherto unimpeached-
liar, And all because the said General Hill declar-
ed that in his opinion Toombs had taken the field
too late and left it too early at the battle of Malvern
Hill; and because, when Toombs challenged Elder
Hill to fight him duel therefor, Elder Hill replied
that he would not make himself party to course
of conduct forbidden alike by duty and the laws
which they had both sworn to observe"
If either of the two Generals be "a coward and
liar" which We will not pretend to say, the public
can scarcely be at loss to decide which is the
man.-Faystterins Observer.

For the Standard,

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY:
sincerely trust Mr.. Editor, that you will con-
tinue your criticism Of the Medical Department in
our army until change for the better shall be made
The half has not yet been told of the neglect and
utter incompetency existing in that Department.
For instance, an Assistant Surgeon of Ole of our
regiments endeavored patients to take
800 grains of quinine at one dose. The facts would
prove that more of our soldiers have died from un-
skilled but wellpaid physicians, than from battles
with the enemy.
Yours, &C., CHATHAM
