The Springfield Republican says that more
than one of the Government assessors in Hamp-
den county has been questioned as to the age
when lamb becomes a sheep. ~
This is very important question, and
we wonder that some assessor or other
person, ambitious of seeing his name in
print, has not propounded it to Boutwell,
before this. It is certainly a vital question
"a big thing for somebody.

Gen. Sterling Price.

The public eye has been somewhat turned for
several months from this able general. He has been
evidently hampered in his operations by being
placed in a subordinate POSITION. No two men in
the South well understand the character of this
war, the management of our volunteer troops and
the temper of our people as Sterling Price and
"Stoncwall" jackson. To place them in subordinate
positions is to hamper them. Give them separate
commands, and they will soon rid the Confederacy
Of the enemy.
A gentleman informs us that recently in brief
speech at Montgomery, Ala, Gen. Price spoke en-
couragingy of our prospects aud said that the
public would soon hear from him. but" said he,
"you will never hear that the enemy goes to ditch
ing within ten miles of my camp" II it be true
that Gen. Magruder instead of Gen. Price, as re-
ported, has been placed in command west Of the
Mississippi the country will deplore it. The people
of the West know Gen. Price and know how to
appreciate him. Gen. Magruder is able man, but
he cannot excite the enthusiasm of the West that
Price can, nor he rally them to his standard so
readily.

CoUSc1L B. WooD.-A correspondent calls our at
tention to the fact that Council B. Wood, of Craven,
recently appointed Director of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad is within the enemy's lines
Our correspondent says, "reliable authority de-
'clares that soon after the fall of Newbern, C. B.
Wood, for the purpose of recovering negro boy,
visited Burnside and took the oath Of allegiance to
Lincoln's government We all know he is still with
in the cnemy's lines. His appointment, under such
circumstances, has aroused the indignation of all
who are acquainted with the facts" We hope it will
turn out that our correspondent is mistaken as to
Mr. Woods having taken the oath. But it is strange
that Gov Clark should have appointed to an impor-
tant State office person residing within the ene-
my's lines Yet old Union men or conservatives
have noright to complain. Gov. Clark and origi-
nal secessiondom are of course, always right That
functionary goes right under Mr.. Stanly's nose to
appoint Railroad director and yet hireling presses
and Stallfederate minons will defend the act and
they will call any man traitor who objects to IT.

The Right Spirit.

We take the liberty OF inserting the following ex-
tract from private letter received from an aged and
intelligent friend residing in one Of the Eastern
Counties. lie was one of the earliest secesSioniss
in North Carolina but he is too honest and too pure
a man to be a partizan at time like this. What if
all of his political faith in North Carolina had followed
his example and treated those who differ with them
with the same justice would there have been any
divisions among us? Would there have been any
necessity for opposing the present administration of
State affairs, if those in power had ignored party
and treated the old Union men or conservatives as
equals? Surely not But they have determined
otherwise and the conservatives are forced to the al
tentative Of submitting to the abuse and humilia-
ton heaped upon them by the spoils party, or of
hurting them from off ce. Let it be done, fellow
citizens. You have shown your fl ielity to the
country, and your blood and treasure have been
poured out freely in its defence, and we admonish
you never to submit to the degradation sought to be
placed upon you by those who falsely call you trait
ors. Sweep out the minions of power and party
from the control of public affairs and let Justice be
done to all parties and to all classes.
But hear what this aged patriot says, although an
original secessionst:
~ am amazed at the course some of nv fellow
citizens are pursuing. For long time they have
been striving to prove that what are called the old
Union or conservative men. for a restoration of
the old Union. Hence they have fed the enemy
with hopes and invited them to more strenuous ef
forts.
"Who makes the Lincolnites believe that they
have powerful CHion friends in North Carolina ftr
example? Not the old Union men themselves
They have by word and deed demonstrated the re-
verse They have made all the sacrifices that a
pure patriotism could require. The blood of their
sons, their brothers, their fathers and friends slain
in the cause Of the Southern Confederacy, cries
aloud the faSehood to God and To man.
"A portion of the noblest the BEST and the bra
vest of our citizens are among those who paused in
the beginning. What! is Graham a traitor?
mention but his name by way of illustration
What! the old families in that category of an.
cient and honorable remembrance in the history Of
NorthCarolina participants in all her glories, shar
ers in all her perilS and pains, traitors ?"

Inouiries Answered.

A correspondent wishes to know if conScripts who
have hired substitutes between the ages of IS and
50, are exempt. We think they not. The law
makes demand for personal service on all between
IS and 30, and exemption from this service can be
claimed only on the following grounds: 1st, Ex-
emptions mentioned in the law ITSELF by the Sec
rotary of War. I'd, Physical disability, of which
the Confederate physicians at Raleigh and States
vile must judge. Sd, Substitutes under IS and
over So. The substitute who is over Is and under
35, is himself consrcipt
Another correspondent wishes US to publish the
votes the test oath proposed by the original Sc
cessionists. We will do so as soon as We can find
space. The OATH together with an able argument
against imposing it, may be found in the speech Of
Gov. Graham delivered before the Convention. We
have some copies of this speech still on hand and
will send them to such as would like to have them.
The party headed by William Johnston, of Neck
lenburg, were especially active in their efforts to
muzzle the press and tie the tongues of the people.
They did not believe either untrue to the South,
but they knew they had acted so badly in State af
fairs that their conduct would not bear discussion
and hence they attempted to silence the press and
the people by force
Another correspondence soldier-wishes to
know how it is that all the soldiers over 80 not
to be discharged at the end of three MONTHS
The decision by the Secretary of War was that they
would be, but he afterwards changed this decision,
and ordered the discharge of only the twelve months
men over that age. Those who volunteered for the
war are held in service, no matter what their ages
may be. In regard to the State bounty, every man
man who has volunteered is entitled to it, whether
discharged or not To take this bounty from the
soldier is to fitch much of his money from
his pocket This has been DONE to the shame of

What else could have been expected? The State
printing costs several thousand dollars year, no

by it. We received no more for our labor than the

Expose the Game.

Let the people and the soldiers in the army no.
tice one fact which stands out prominently in the
private and public conversations of the spoils party
partizans and in such papers as the Raleigh Regis
ter, State Journal Charlotte Democrat, IredsU En-
press, and papers of that class, that when beaten
and driven off in all their attacks and SANDERS upon
Col. Vance, they fall at to lying against the
Standard. They have not been able to fix single
charge or to urge a single reasonable objection to
Col. Vance. He is beyond the shafts Of their ven
ON. Indeed, many of them profess to admire COL
Vanre,-some Of them are almost persuaded to be
Vance men, but-but-when they utterly fail to
point out sing objection to Col Vance, they in
innate they might be induced to vote for him but
for the fact that he is supported by the Standard!
What shameless hypocrisy What unbushing
falsehood! They support Col. Vance if the Stand
ard did not They, the stallfeds and spoils party
partizans-they support Col Vance? Impossible!
You may as we'll expect to see them shoulder their
neuskets and go to the You may well ex-
pect to see them do any other thing that would be
just to those who differ with them as to vote for Col
Vance. And why? Simply because Col. Vance
will be no partisan in this Because Col. Vance
could not be made pent tool for these partisans.
Because he would do justice to all parties and to all
men. Because he would be as considerate of the
condition and wants of the poor soldiers of the
officers of the army. 1t would be too patriotic too
unselfish in them to support Col. Vance. And
what patriotism Nineteen twentieths of the peo-
pie and the soldiers of North Carolina, who have
any knowledge of the two men, know that at this
juncture Mr.. Johnston is not the man for GOrernOr,
but that COL Vance is. Why, then, not support
him9 They will with rush, but the partizans will
not, because the Standard supports him. o shame,
