Pay of our Soldiers.

The pitiful pay of our soldiers, when they get it.
is crying shame upon our government Congress
must do something quickly to relieve them. Spec
uaton and extortion and the pinch of the war have
brought them and their families to the door of star
walton. Only think of it-$l1 per month, and $50
Communication for clothing for year, for our brave
soldiers when shoes sell at $40 to S12 pants at $15
to $50, shirts at 81 to S. coats at $50 to $50, &C.
bacon at 40 cts, meal 81 90 sugar at 60 cts, &c.
Can it be possible that the government will put
them off with that pitiful sum- unless it breaks up
the extortion and speculation of the countIyH 1t
will not do. Our soldiers must be better paid, or
we cannot expect to prosper Let the salaries of
the higher officers be reduced-brigades, regiments
and companies made smaller, in order that the rank
and file may be better paid. Moreover, some of
them are not paid regularly. We understand that
some of our soldiers have not received dollar Of
their wages since the lst of January last Whose
fault is it?

COUNTERFEIT CONFEDERATE NoTEs.-The Yankees
have ISSUED large amount of spurious Confederate
notes, and by some means have introduced .hem in
the South. The Secretary of the Treasury has
given notice that the 500, $50, and $40 Confeder-
ate bills, dated September I'd, 1861, from the lho-
graphic plates of Messrs- Hoyer and Ludwig, Rich
mond have been counterfeted and circulated, there
fore, he has determined to call in those notes. and
issue no more from those plates. The public ought
to be on their guard in regard to them. Let the
bills above described be returned TO the Treasury as
soon as possible. Holders of genuine notes of the
kind above returning them to the Treasurer
an Assistant Treasurer will receive in lieu thereof
interest bearing notes, call certificates which will
be taken up as soon as other notes are issued.

The Infamous Rutler,

The barbarous conduct of this individual at New
Orleans will fix upon him stigma, which history
will ever perpetuate. His progeny after him, if he
have any, will inherit the disgrace which attaches
to his name, and his government which at least
winks at his baseness deserves the inlamy which
will ever attach to its brutal official The follow
ing Joint resolution in regard to him introduced
in the Confederate House of Representatives last
week and was referred to the committee on military
affairs. Let it be put upon the record:
Whereas, Benjamin F. Butler an officer COM
mandng the forces of the United States now occU-
pying portion of the territory of the Confederate
States, has, by repeated atrocities committed on
citizens OF the Confederate States of both and
of ages, shown the most utter disregard Of the
amenities of civilized warfare and of the obligations
of social and Christian life, and utter contempt
for that protection which is awarded by all Christian
conquerors to the defenceless non-combatants that
may either temporarily or permanently be subject
to their rule therefore
:" The Congress Of the Confederate States do re-
solce, That the said Benjamin F. Butler is hereby
declared " Hostis humdni generiS" and as such to
be treated by all citizens and soldiers Of the Con-
federate States of America whenever and wherever
they may find the said Benjamin F. Butler. And
the exemption from punishment which this resolu-
ton extends to any citizen or soldier of the Con-
federate States is hereby extended to any citizen
subject of any foreign country whatever"

speculator, and Ertortioners.


Thousands and tens of thousands of hot-brained,
5efore-day war men, have remained out of the war
to coin money out of the government and every one
around them, and to claim exemption for their sons
or employees. The government has thus unsit.
tingly given the spectators monopoly over ITSELF
and the public, which is operating irjurIously to
the common veal. For instance, tanners claim ex-
emption from the war, because leather is so much
needed by the government They demand the ex-
emption in order that they may buy green hides at
and cents, and dry hides at IA and l6 cents per
pound and sell sole leather at 80 to $175, and
upper at 81 to $2,25. Owners of Cotton factories
demand exemption for their employees, because the
government is customer, and then demand go to
70 cents for spun cotton per pound, and 35 to 40
cents per yard for domestics. The whole Confede-
racy has thus become the mart for the speculation
and extortion of certain classes embarrassing the
government and impoverishing the people. What
can be done to remedy it Let Congress and the
Legislatures look to it Every factor, merchant
mechanic, farmer, and speculator, engaged in the
work of extortion upon the government or people,
should be forced to shoulder his musket forthwith
and go into the war Our suffering poor groan-
ing under the load imposed on them BY the war and

Onr Navy Denarfment.

The i'll success, imbecility and blundering Of the
Confederate Navy Department by which we are
driven from the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico, and
from all our navigable streams, have led many a
plan honest citizen to ask, have we Navy Depart
ment2 Since the evacuation of Norfolk, the cap
ture of New Orleans, and the destruction of the
Merrimac, &C., many have very naturally concluded
that we can have no further use for Secretary of
the Navy. The following incident which took place
in tbs Confederate House of Representatives, last
week, would indicate that some of the members of
Congress are of the same way of thinking:
Mr.. Conrad, of La, offered the following:
Res0lUed, That the Committee on Naval Affairs
be instructed to inquire into the expediency OF abo-
fishing the office ofSecretary of the Navy and vest
ing the power thereof in the Secretary of War"
Mr.. Foote-1 would inquire if this is mere re-
solution of inquiry for have such high regard
for the honorable Secretary of the Navy that other
wise l should oppose it Uaughter.)
Mr.. Foster, of Ala move to lay the resolution
on the table
Mr.. Conrad-Why so?
Mr.. Foster-I think it is reflection on the Sec
rotary of the Navy.
+, Mr.. Conrad-I'mean it as reflection on the Sec
retary of the Navy; mean it, and am prepared
to show that he ought to receive such reelection.
The resolution was passed.

A New Medical Work.

We refer our readers to the proposition of Dr..
Edward Warren, prominent member of the pro-
fesson in this State to publish work on Surgery,
adapted to the wants of the Army at this period
We Judge such work is needed and would be in
valuable to the profession. Few perhaps are better
prepared by extensive reading practice and the
necessary facilities to bring out such work, than
DR.. Warren. We hope it will be literally encour-
aged.
By the way, We are glad to see that movement
has been made in Congress to investigate, reform
and render more efficient the hygeinic and surgical
departments of the government, especially around
Richmond. From all we can learn, there is no de-
partment which calls more loudly for reform than
this Incompetency, ideness, drunkenness and pal
pable neglect among Confederate Surgeons, said
to have murdered more of our brave men about
Richmond than Yankee bullets. Some instances
which have come to knowledge call for the Sc
verest punishment If neglect Incompetency or
drunkenness subjects Confederate army officer to
censure, reprimand, expulsion or even death, why
should not the same crime be as severely punished
when Confederate Surgeons are gulty?. We pre-
sumo the work proposed to be published by DR..
Warren will be valuable aid to experienced and
intelligent Surgeons. None others should be put
in the service.

TRIRuTE OF RESPECT.

At meeting of the w Wardens of Wake county, on

muncation, the following resolutions were passed:

wise dispensation of his Providence, to take from
our midst our esteemed friend and brother Warden,
John NJ. Fleming; In the death of our lamented CO.

his memory most.

moval of our friend and brother Jno NJ Fleming,

4th, That these resolutions be spread upon the
records Of our Court and that copy of the same
be sent to the Spirit of the Age for publication with
a request that the City papers copy the same.

N. w. Woodfn, Esq, has been appointed super
intendent in behalf of the State and is at Salt
ville Va, with ample means and authority to erect
all the necessary machinery and hire labor; and as
his success depends on the amount of labor he can
procure it is evidently the interest of counties and
individuals to assist in sending up many laborers
as possible for this necessary work Men with axes
to cut wood will receive $40 per month, and teams
for hauling from 81 toss per day. Employment
will be given to all the labor that will Offer and it
affords fine opportunity to Eastern Shareholders
for employment of their slaves in secure position"

Where Is Gen. Price Z

Can one tell what has become of Gen. Price2 1t
was understood that he desired to be put in COM
mand west of the Mississippi-a position which the
Southern people would have given him by acclama-
ton, but it appears it was denied him, and Gen.
Holmes sent in his stead. Since then, we have not
heard of him. At time like this his sword should
rust in its sca5bard. Gen. Bragg seems to move
as snail, Beauregard is an invalid Hardee and
others are as still as the grave; and the intrepid
Price, whose battle cry would arouse the daring
hunters of the west is oVerslaughed or kept down,

The Cedar Run Fight.

In the first announcement of this battle the Rich
mond papers stated that Gen. Ransom's brigade was
in the battle This was the only intimaton that
any North Carolinians were in the battle. Weat
once stated that this was error and that it must
have been Gen. Branch's or Gen. Pender's brigade.
Nothing further has appeared in the Richmond pa
pers in regard to the part borne by North Caro-
linians. -
We learn from an officer of the army that Gen.
Branch's and Gen. Pcnder's brigades were both in
the fight and the 91st N. G. Regiment in General
Ewers brigade. A portion of Gen. Branch's brig
ade suffered considerably, but other forces
more fortunate.
1t is to be deplored that none of our North Caro-
lima officers or men feel enough public interest in
the matter to give the papers of this State, Of
Richmond or Petersburg, an early and reliable ac-
count of battles in which North Carolina forces are
engaged. Many of our people are frequently left in
suspense for weeks in regard to the fate of their
friends simply because North Carolinians will not
attend to the matter. Will not the friends of the
Standard in the army do better in future, and give
early details of every fight in which they are en-
gagedH An intelligent gentleman from Gordons-
vile says that our entire loss in killed. wounded
and missing was not over seven hundred-the Yam

The Latest News.

The fact of Pope's retreat is fully confirmed
Our forces have driven him beyond the RaPpahan-
mock. 1t is said that severe fight took place be-
low the Railroad Bridge on Saturday morning, last
ing four hours, between a portion of our forces
and Burnsde's command. The enemy was driven
hack with severe loss in killed and wounded. We
took about 400 prisoners Our loss is said to have
been between 100 and 15O, killed and wounded
Severe cannonading was also heard at Orange
Court House on Saturday morning. Rumor states
that our cavalry had advanced within miles of
Manassas Junction, and that our troops occupied
the town of Warrenton, but the rumors were doubt
ed Burnside it is said had been driven into Fred
ericksburg.
The whole country in which the Yankees had
been, presented scene of desolation, as if the
"oeSom of destruction had swept over it. The
citizens focked with shouts and tears to welcome
our army. Whether Pope will risk general en-
gagement is doubtful We trust our forces will
press on to the deliverance of Maryland.
Some doubt still exists as to the position OF Nc
Clellan's forces. Our scouts pursued him to Will
lamsburg, capturing and destroying number Of
wagons and stores. Some assert he has gone to
Newport News and Fortress Monroe. A rumor,
however, that Yankee force had landed at Glouces
ter Point makes the impression that he will attempt
to reach the Rappahannock from that quarter. Pri-
vate accounts state that Gen. Mcclellan asserts that
he has lost 100000 men since he came on the Pen
nnsula.
Pope has issued another order, endeavoring to
creep out of the infamy fixed him by his previous
one, by alledging it misunderstood His retreat
occasions great uneaSiness at Washington.
