"The old Roanoke is up in the branches, and has
destroyed thousands Of barrels Of corn, because 1t
is too Late or will be before the land gets IN order
to plant again. The wheat crop is badly damaged
by the wet weather."
We hear that the growing crops, as well as the
wheat have been seriously injured by the freshets
in the Neuse, the Dan, the Cape Fear, and other
streams. We trust however, that the injury Is not

The bill introduced in the Senate by MI. Young,
of Mecklenburg, providing for the enrolment of al!
the sble-bodied white men in this State between
the ages of 16 and go, strikes us as in many re-
spects Objectionable. We lack space to-day to state
these objections at any length but the measure
will operate, and be regarded by the people as an
extepsion of the militia system, and to this We do
not hesitate to say, in our humble opinion the peo-
pie are opposed. If Mr.. Sherwood's militia bill
should be passed. there will be enough militia be-
tween 1s and As for all the purposes contemplated
in Mr. Young's bill; and these will form an organ
ized nucleus around which able bodied men of all
ages will rally as volunteers in an emergency. If
North Carolina is to depend for protection on the
boys and old men, and is to have no aid from the
10000 veterans she has contributed to Confederate
service, then indeed is the prospect gloomy

The .Militia Bills:

=" The Militia Bills:
We publish bslow the militia bills introduced N
the Commons on Saturday, by Mr.. Sherwood Oh
'Guilford, and Mr.. Mckay Of Harnstt The joint
committee Of the two houses, composed Of Aessrs'
Young, Pitchford and Outlaw on the part Of the
Senate. and Nsssra Sherwood, Grissen, Mckay,
Russell Of B., and Al!son on thepart Of the Hsuss,
was unfortunately so consttutedas to be unable to
agree; and the result was the two bills referred TO-
reported to the House. g. ->s:.s. .. .a.- - ..ea
We have examined both these bills carefully, sad
we do not hesitate to say that the one introduced
BY Mr.. Sherwood is every way preferable. It pro-
tects the magistrates 1t exempts persons who have
substitutes exempts fathers Of families who have
three or more children under twelve years Of age,
hd in other respects it is thoughtful and liberal
measure It is also in accordance, ip many re-
spects, with the views expressed by Gov. Vance in
his correspondence with the Secretary Of War, and
it upholds the decisions Of our Courts in relation
to substitutes: It is emphatically North Casolina
measure. We trust It will receive the sanction Of
the Legislature. We entertain nc. doubt if the
two bills were submitted to the people at the polls
the bill of Mr.. Sherwood would be approved BY the
people by 10000 majority. --.. e..

We have in hand mass of letters protesting
against any further drain ppon our people in the
way of troops and propouudng questions in rela-
ton to exemptions under the militia and conscript
laws. Our correspondence, which is very exten-
sive, convinces US that our people are'looking with
alarm to the prospect Of more troops being raised,
aud the greatly diminished white labor we have left
being thus taken from our fields and workshops. i
We cannot find space to-day to reply to the qdes.
tions propounded under the conscripf law and SO
far as the militia are concerned our correspondents
will bear in mind that the exemptions will depend
on the measure adopted by the Legislature now in
session. We refer them 10 the bills introduced in
the Commons, in our paper today. As We have
stated elsewhere, we regard the bill Of Mr.. Ster-
wood ss every way preferable to that introduced BY
