The Semi-Weekly Standard.

Tho unprecedented demand for news, has leo US
sr some weeks to consider the propriety OF ISSUING

to issue it tri-weeky, but we ascertalned that we
conId not obtain telegraphc news sutnc'enuy In au

The increase of our advertising patronage, how
ever compes US, in justice to our subscribers to

Orr large Weekly issue, the Semi Weekly Standard
riIl after the present number, be published on
Tuesday and Friday mornings, instead OF Wednes-

ders will obtain the telegraphic news from the Stan
d,ri about the same time they receive it from the
Richmond and Petersburg papers.
Our readers may rely upon the Standard for the
most reliable and latest intelligence from all quar-
tors The Weekly will continue to be issued on the

Second N. C. Hospital.
We clip the following from the Petersburg Er.

press:
The Raleigh Standard of the 2lst states that corres-
pondent has written letter his signature for
publication, which reflects severely upon the management
OF the End N. c. Hospital in this city.
The attack is regarded BY the patients in that hospital
and disintereSted gentlemen in this community
fable Dr. j. c. Warren, the Surgeon in charge is
absent sick urloug in condition at present
to meet the unspeced charges reflections to which the
STANDARD refers When the public hears the testimony of
patients and medical who intimately acquainted
with the management of this hospital will regard
as inferior to any in the State Of North Carolina else
where"
The bare announcement Of the name of DR.. W.
U. Warren, we repeat, as the Surgeon in charge of
that Hospital, is sufficient guarantee to every per-
son in North Carolina who has any knowledge of
that gentleman, that no blame could be attached to
him or to any institution or subordinate under his
Immediate care. Our correspondent whom we sup
pose to have been sick soldier the friend of sick
soldiers, does not speak Of DR.. W., and we are in
clined to believe that he ignorant as we WERE
and did not know that DR.. Warren was connected
with the institution. He gives the name of gen.
tleman as the surgeon of the second N. G. Hosp
Ia" of whom know nothing. Had he spoken
of DIR. W. as the surgeon of the Hospital of whom
he complained, should not have noticed his COM
plants.

The Latest News.

The last mails bring US no intelligence of the
movements of our army under Gen. Lee, on the
Potomac. Relnforcements and stores were being
sent on to Winchester. Large numbers of wound
ed are arriving at Richmond. Quite number are
passing through this city. 1t is said that con-
scripts in the late battles fought admirably.
The Yankee Cavalry are prowling about in the
neighbOrhood of Warrenton and Leasburg, Va
The enemy in North Western Virginia is steadily
falling back before Gen. Loring. Large numbers
Of wagons are bringing salt from the Kanawha Sa-
lines
The Yankees are committing depredations in Isle
OF Wight Nansemond and Southampton, Va, and
In Gates in this State.
The Petersburg Express says that Capt Taylor s
company of Col. Ferrebee's rangers made dash
upon Yankee camp in Camden County in this
State last week. and killed and captured several and
took their baggage and stores.
LincOln's proclamation is not well received
through the North, except among his own party.
The Yankee accounts stated that Gen. Howell
Cobb, of Ga, and his Legion, was captured by
them in the fight at Middleton, but the Richmond
E"Gpirer says that the General is unhurt, and not
captured.
The news from the West is stirring, but it is diff
hcut to get at the whole truth. See our tele-
graphic news.

Reputation Dearly Rought.

The reputation of our North Carolina troops for
intrepidity and daring has been dearly bought In
the battles around Richmond no State in the Con-
federacy sustained so heavy loss as North-C Caro-
lima. To charge battery where death was to make
its most fearful havoc the duty was most frequently
assigned to the orth-Carolina troops. The repu-
tation thus so dearly bought, has placed them
since in the most hazardous positions. At Manas-
sas, at Middleton and at Sharpsburg, regiments
were awfully decmated Were the facts fully
known, the whole State nearly would be in mourn
ing We glory in the courage the intrepid valor of
our troops, but justice to our State would seem to
demand that our veteran troops deserve, for while
at least to be held in reserve. We are proud to
bear our due share Of the risks and responsibilities
of the war; but the severe losses of North Carolina
in battle demand some consideration from our COM
manders.

The News.

The exact position of our army on the Potomac,
or what will be its future movements are, perhaps,
yerv properly concealed from the public. We in
cline to the opinion that it occupies both sides of
the river The rumor of fight in Maryland on
SUNDAY the 2lst, has not been confirmed. Heavy
losses of the enemy, in the recent battles, is admit
ted by the Northern papers,
We have had stirring news from Kentucky for
several days past The capture of 5000 FederalS at
MumfordsYille, and 800 at Cave City, by General
Bragg, is confirmed.
Gen. Smiths forces occupy Frankfort and other
towns 1t is said that %, 900 Kentuckians have al
ready joined our army, and Kentucky is thoroughly
aroused.
Buell. had left about 1000 troops at Nashville,
and with his main force $4,000, was advancing to-
wards Louisville. The latest accounts is, that he
had arrived there, having avoided both Gen. Bragg
and Gen. Smith. Curtis, the Federal general had
thrown his force, it is said, between Bragg and
Smith Another account is, that Gen. Bragg had
demanded surrender of Louisville, but that Gen.
Nelson had refused, and that the women and chill
had been ordered to leave the place. We await
further direct intelligence from that quarter to give
US proper idea Of the true state of matters.
Lincoln's proclamation which will be found in
our columns to-day, is producing some excitement
North.

of the inmates of the Peace Institute Hospital
planning of bad treatment at the hands of one of
the stewards or attendants in the Hospital. DR..
Hill, the Surgeon in charge, has been confined to
his bed for several days past by sickness This

founded, that the proper remedy will at once be
applied. An attendant who neglects his duties, or
who maltreats or insults our brave soldiers who
