Fair OPPORTUNITY TO BE HAPPY.-We consider
ourselves honored IN being the medium through
which the following proposition is made to three of
our brave boys in the army, yet to be designated;
and we can confidently assure them that in our
opinion the communication is genuine We have
the names, which can be seen only, if at all, I'M
der the most extraordinary circumstances. The
only objection we can have to the proposition is,
that it may prove so attractive as to deprive the
service, at early day; of three of our best SOL
ders for we take it for granted that our lady friends
will select the most worthy as the recipients of their
bounty
For the Standard
Nix. EDITOR We saw it suggested in some pa
per short time since, that each Southern lady
should select certain soldier and provide clothes
for him as long as the war continues. We will
agree to this plan with the greatest pleasure if the
soldiers whom We select will consent to marry us
when the war is over. We are three young ladies'
who can say nothing to recommend ourselves, ex-
cept that the spinning wheel has taken the place of
the piano in our parlors, and that We take much
more pleasure in wearing the homemade dresses
woven by ourses es, than we once did in the cost
Hest silks. We take this way Of providing our
selves with homes when the war is over; as we are
refugees, and think it probable our oDn homes will
be destroyed by the Yankees.

Another friend writing from Stokes County, says:
"Unless you had visited our Western Counties
you can form no conception of the untold dcpriva-
ton which would be entaed on our women and
children by taking off the men from thirty five to
forty-fve This County has enrolled about 1900
men, and of these about $50 are in the service
Our corn crop is short-one. third less than last
year, and almost entire failure in the wheat rye,
and oat crops. So that our people have to depend
upon corn alone for bread and to feed their stock
don't know a half dozen snen in the County who
are Offering bushel of corn for sale, and they
asking ten dollars barrel from the heap. Already
are our poor women seen trudging from place to
place. baref0oted begging for corn, and none to be
had, and these too the wives of our brave men now
pering their lives on the field Of battle or widows
who have lost their husbands in defence of the
country. Now and then you will find man who
will divide, even to the apparent impoverishment of
his own family; but the great difficulty is, what
few men are left behind are in constant state of
uneasiness, not knowing at what moment they may
he called off into service, and hence they hold to
what they have for their own families in case Of
emergency. Ii all the conscripts from my County
are taken off, it will be impossible for those left be-
hind to make support for another year.
Our rulers should understand the wants and neces-
sites of our poor soldiers, and their wants, above
all Others should be supplied. To do this requires
Judgment experience, and energy. AS to the pro-
priety of increasing our army think this involves
considerations of more gravity than most persons at
first think are aware of. 1t is but natural, when
we hear of eves being raised and placed in the
field against us, that corresponding idea Of ncrea
sing our own army should arise; but We know we
cannot compete with our enemies in numerical
strength. When and where to stop, is a question
of no ordinary moment One sharp scythe will cut
more grain than half dozen dull ones so will one
soldier, well-armed, well clothed, and wellted, do

HALLEcKs s PRoGRAMNE.-A Sedella CORES
poDdent of the Burlington Hawk Eye has it
from reliable authority" that Ger. Halleck
will soon make a move in the right direction.
He says it has been ascertained to certainty
that Price is at Osceola, on the Usage and is
so situated he will be compelled to fight. He
then gives the programme, which for the ben
eft of the speculative, | copy entire:
The whole division of this department will
move upon him from FIVE different points at the
same time. Hunter. with his division from the
West, to prevent a possibility of his going into
Kansas, and thus prevent his devastating that
State or escaping in that direction. Generals
WyInan and Asboth, from Rolla, viii proceed
by way of Springfield or Boliver, to prevent
his retreating South. General Pope from
Syracuse, will go by way of Warsaw and Gen.
Steeles division from Sedala. These different
divisions will constitute force of about $4,000
men, with about 1000 cavalry, and two or
three powerful batteries. With this pro-
gramme well executed, it will be miracle if
he should escape. As to numbers-the two
armies will be about equally matched.
