The Mails.


The mails have been sadlyout of joint for several
months and they grow worse. At the time We
write, we believe there are three western mails due
here. The failures on the North Carolina Railroad
are becoming exceedingly Vexatious The amount
of business the Road is too great for Its means,
or the officers of the Road lack the skill and the
energy to keep up its operations.
We are really afraid the trains will stop alto
gether, if something is not done soon. The Drec-
tors and stockholders ought to look to this matter.
That Road needs the best Railroad skill and man.
agcment of any Road in the country, and it ought
to be secured at any cost The excessive business,
however, and the length of the Road render it ex-
ceedingy difficult to manage in these times, in the
hands of any one The present officers, we judge,
doing all in their power. The continued irreg-
ulariy of the mails will account to our subscribers
for the delay in getting the STANDARD regularly.

Official Reports of Battles.

We are indebted to the courtesy of Gov. Vance
for the Reports of Brgadier General Clngman and
Col Robert B. Vance, which we publish oday.
The report of Gen. Clingman furnishes gratifying
proof of the courage of his brigade in the battle
near Goldsborough. Gen. Clingman himself We
have no doubt, acquitted himself we'll on the &C.
casion
The old Doth, under Col. Vance, added new lus
tire to its character on the glorious field of Muir
freesborough. 1t is plain, from the modest and in
teresting account given by Col Vance, that his
regiment did the work of brigade in that battle.
We also publish testimonials to the bravery of
the 9Th 5+th, and 57th regiments from Generals
Hood and Law. Higher OF warmer praise could not
he bestowed than is contained in the orders of these
Generals. 1t is no doubt richly deserved.

DistiIIation of Spirituous Liquors.

A friend writing US from Davie County, says
81 understand there are persons distilling whisky
in this County, in violation of law" And friend
writing US from Aamance, says; appropriations
are being made in this neighborhood for dStilling
whisky out of corn, as scarce as 1t is. We can
hardly get bread now, but what will be our condi-
ton if the corn is turned into whisky?"
The law passed by the Legislature at one of its
recent sessions, is very severe persons who may
dstiil sprituous liquors from corn wheat peas pea
nuts oats rye sugar or sugar cane seed syrup,
molasses, rice dried fruit potatoes any mixture
of any or either of them. The penalty is fine and
imprsonment--the fine not to be less than $500,
) and the Imprisonment not less than sixty days.
Every day or part of days distliug constitutes a
distinct offence
There are thousands and thousands Of hungry
months in this State, to be filled before another
crop can be gathered; and when that crop is gath
ered we fear it will be a short one. The corn and
the wheat must be saved to save life To distill
either into whisky at a time like this, is great
wrong In ordinary times, when grain is abundant,
the disaton ofspirituous liquors from it is legti-
mate and proper; but in the name Of thousands of
widows and orphans, made so by this war, and of
the wives and children of our absent soldiers, we
protest in the most solemn terms against the distii
Iation of the staff of life into spirtuous liquors.
Surely the present supply of whisky and bran dy
ought to be sufficient until the war is over. The
people can do without strong drink Of any sort, j
necessary, but without bread they must perish
By every thing that is sacred let the corn and Whea
be carefully preserved for man aud beast

that Maj. Gen. Smith has resigned Those who are
