Nix. EDITOR Now that there is prospect that
the militia may be called into active service, the
suggestion has occurred to me that we might get
our backsniths to make and attach bayonets to our
guns Must of my company have good rifles, which
with bayOnetS attached, would be very effective
weapons. As you have access to military men every
day, please inquire if an effective weapon can be
made Of good common iron hardened to q proper
degree and if it is advisable to have such bayonets
attached 10 our rides or shot guns. II the answer
is favorable, sou can publish this suggesttoh.f
! have no doubt that such weapons would give
confidence to our, men. They will Eight anyhow
without bay onets notwithstanding the idea that the
"milishy are little shaky. 1.-THE men of seven
ty six" would fight with the butts of their guns,

DEAR Sra: As notice from the Fayetteville o.
serper, that volunteering is going on with great
spirit in that town and county, have concluded to
let you know what Mecklenburs is doing in that
way. Besides the 9l2 men in the ice of this
State and the Confcderacy-all Of 200 have entered
the service of South arolinl from this county,
twenty more having gone in the last five weeks.
In addition, we have screen other companies now or
ganizing. One Capt. R. p Warnings is now in
camp with Is or so men; another Capt E. A. Ross,
has IS or 90 men and goes into camp this day week;
Capt. Nichols has 40 or so men; Capt j. G. Bryce
has undertaken to revive the " Hornets Nest CON-
pany," commanded by Captain, now Major Owens,
in the Big Bethel fght) and has 40 or 80 men
Capt. Jno NJ. Tate has about the same number, say
30 men, j. A. Fox, Esq, aud DR.. Fl. II, Pritchar1i
also raising companies and think will succeed,
and in addition to the above, from 30 to 40 men
from here are in one of the Salisbury companies
guarding the prisoners there. .a. -
Thus you see Mecklenhurg holds up an example
for other counties to initiate, which if done will OBJ
viate the necessity of draft.

Agency for cur Troops in Richmond.

We learn that Surgeon General Warren has ap-
pointed Dr. o. :. Manson, of Granville General
Medical Agent in Richmond, to attend to the wants
of our soldiers. \ better appointment could not
have been made. The distinguished services of Dr.
Manson as hospital and army Surgeon, his known
ability in his profession, and his high character
gentleman, richly entitle him to the confidence
of our people. DR.. Manson has made the amplest
arrangements for our sick and wounded soldiers
Ambulances will be at the depos for the purpose Of
conveying them to the hospital; and in addition to
this, DR.. II. will aid all OF our soldiers in obtaining
furloughs, passes, their pay, and discharges when
they seem to be justly entitled to them.
Our excellent Surgeon General, DR.. Warren, has
been and is indeatigable in his efforts to re-
lieve our sick and wounded soldiers Itwas assumed
by some OF the opponents of Gov. Vance that the
Office of Surgeon General was not necessary, and
ought to be abolished. The best evidence that this
assumption is erroneous is found in the fact that
Dr. Warren has already visited and relieved hundreds
in the hospitals in Virginia, who would otherwise
have suffered greatly.

the enemy: North Carolina has already sixty resf
ments in Virginia She may be overrun and raw.
aged, and not one of these regiments, 1t seems, will
spared for her defence. If in raising State troops
the government at Richmond shall be deprived of
conscrpts, the fault will not rest with Gov. Vance
Tor North Carolina has already contributed her full
proportion Of troops to the common cause. and her
nrst duty, in the last resort is to herself That
duty she will perform, happen what may.
Recent events, not to speak of former ones, ad-
monsh the Conservatives in the Legislature to Sc
iect the next Council of State from the Conservative
party, and not to rely on original secessonists The
latter have shown theqselves unequal to the task,
not only of preserving but of establishing and main
tanning government on sure foundations. They
must give place, in euery instanes, to wiser and

The New CoxsCRIPTIoN- Davis has
caused special order to be issued by Adult. Cen
eral Cooper, calling for the enrolment of all be-
tween the ages of 1s and 40 who are not exempt
There is, no doubt, an absolute need of more men,
The first conscription has been partially executed
in some of the States. We learn that North Caro-
lima has furnished four times as many men under
the first consription as any of the States.
In 1850, there were in this State, upwards of
e9, 600 men between the ages of 80 and 20 At
present there are about 900 between the ages of
s5 and 40, but of these there are, perhaps, 5000
exempt or in the army already.
