Prospects Of Peace.

II cannot be doubted that quite general impress
sion pervades the public mind in the South, that
We may anticipate an early peace. In Richmond,
where every attempt is made to manufacture pub
lie opinion, the idea is said to prevail extensively
To us it is yet a problem to be solved If the
North and Europe were guided BY cool judgment,
wise counsels, and the will of the masses the war
would be stopped in thirty days. The South to .
man would hail with joy proposition for peace,
besed upon houerA6ir terms-Scyond this she CA
not 60. But We have very little confidence in the
wisdom, the justice or the humanity of the North,
and but little reliance upon the good wishes Of Eu-
rope. 80 :>s
Pride of party, unholy ambition, and the dread
of utter anpibilation will prompt Lincoln and his
party to push the war to the utmost verge. These
considerations induce US to fear that the war will
still 20 on perhaps with increasing bitterness on
both sides.
Our readers may be sure that the first clear in.
dcations of peace will be hailed by US with delight
Nav Heaven hasten it

RALEIGH: FRIDAY, JAN. 2, 1858.
The Situation.

Inc Sltu0tlOns
If one can Judge of the present posture of our
affairs from the statements of the press and our re-
cent successes the prospects of the Southern Con-
federacy have not been so bright at any period since
the war began.
Gen. Lee has certainly blocked the "On to Rich
mond" game by the way of Fredericksburg. His
army on the Rappahannock is invincible and can
successfully resist three times its numbers, per-
haps. Nor do We think any direct advance upon
Richmond from any quarter could be successful.
The force at Suffolk and vicinity may be so aug
mented as to damage US greatly, and possibly be-
masters Of the Railroad leading to Petersburg
but the activity and vaor of our forces and skill Of
our Generals, will prove overmatch to any attempt
which can be made to reduce Richmond.
OF the movements of the enemy in Eastern North
Carolina, nothing has transpired since Foster re-
turned to Newbern from which an opinion can be
formed of his future movements. We trust how
ever our commanders are sufficiently awake to be
prepared for him at all points.
At Charleston everything seems to be in read
ness for the enemy. Gen. Beauregard made the de-
claration the other day, that he was prepared to
meet Tile eHtuJ dl punt oi Soulur Soi.
To the West, all eyes are turned for the present
for stirring events. On the S0th of December the
forces under Gen. Joe Johnston on our side, and
those Of Rosencranz of the Aholitionists with
in half mile of each other, within a few miles of
Murfreesboro', Tenn. Our forces were confident Of
whipping Rosencranz. Ere this, perhaps the battle
has been fought and we trust Goo has given US the
victory. The operations Of Morgan and Forrest re-
Gently have SO far been severely damaging to the
Yankees. 1t is understood that Morgan had pos
session of the railroad between Nashville and Louis
vile. '' -.rs--r.-....-,-..
Gen, ,sRln Dorns operations around Memphis
have - lily successful.
The ens1 Operations to reduce Vicksburg are
of the most formidable character but at las. ac-
counts he had been repulsed at all points Mean
while our troops in fine spirits We trust that
Vcksburg gallant Vicksburg, may be as success
full in resisting the foe again.

The Register, in its anxiety to make party CAPT

Sather than submit to military despotism the good old

than see the civil authority give way to the military
in North-Carona, in single instance" &c. Will
the Register do Mr. Smith the justice to publish
his language az reported by himselfs OF course
not.
For our part, we endorse every word Mr. Smith
has said. We are not willing to exchange one mil.
isary dsspotsm for another; and 'rathsr than sub.
init to military despotsm, the good old State had
better raise the lone star, and go back to her own
declaration of l775, and reassert her own indepen-
dence." If the Rsgister and those whom it repre-.
sents, are prepared for military desp,tism, or dis
posed to become the advocates Of such govern
ment, then are they white slaves and unworthy Of
the blessings Of liberty which it is hoped the pres.
ent revolution viii secure for US.

Nothing has occurred since our last worthy of
note from the East, in any department of our army
In the West, several important movements have
been made.
A dispatch alluding to Gen. Van Dorns success,
states that Gen. Van Dorm, in bis late attack upon
the enemy, had only 2,75O men, and that be cap
tured $500 prisoners and destroyed $3,000,Oo0 of
property belonging to the Fsderals-burnt 1000
bales of cotton, took 1000 army revolvers, 5000

visit either Memphis or Bolivar. His loss was only
80 men.
On Christmas day, Gen. Morgan captured Glas:
gov, KY, ard the Federal garrison there-then
preceded to Gallatin and blew up the rail road tun-
mel and left the rail road useless.
The official report Of Gen. Gustavus W. Smith,
commanding Confederate troops in this State, after
giving detailed account of the battles at Knston,
Whitehall and near Goldsboro says that our loss
was II killed, 26s wounded and 400 prisoners.
Most of them were taken at Kinston and since pa

The conscripts---Their Courage.


The last Fayetteville 0bserosr contains an inter.
esting account Of the part which Col Malletts Bat
talon bore in the battle Of Kinston. The Battal
ion, consisting of not more than 475 men, who had
never before been under fire. contsnded with four
or five times their number with q steadiness and
courage which have excited general admiration. All
the officers, we learn, from Col Mallett down, &C.
Quilted themselves in the best manner.
The 57th N c. regiment, raised at Salisbury, and
commanded by Col. Goodwin, with Lieutenant Col
onel H. c. Jones and Major Craige, is composed en-
tirely Of conscripts, who were permitted by the
Secretary Of War thus to organize themselves
Their courage,was so conspicuous in the late battle
of Fredericksburg, as to draw from Gen. Hood q
special public compliment to them. And we learn
that generally, the conscrpts in the old regiments
conducted themselves in that engagement like
veterans. 49, .-.-.,. s-.
We have always deprecated the disposition which
has existed with some to underrate and ridicue the

and constancy. Hcnceforth the name Of conscript
will be proud one. We are utterly opposed to the
system of conscription but we take pleasure in do
ing Justice to the men who have been raised under

Till the soldiers Come Rack.


There is no use of talking, I'm firmly resolved
To scorn every offer to wed,
The more that the question is vew'd and revoly'd,
The more that is scornfully said
The deeper my heart is in love with the PLAN
They say l will rue it alack,-
But want not the offer of airy man"
Till the volunteer soldiers come back.
There's beau from the town, he is handsome
enough,
And looks very pleasant, I'm sure,
But the last of his wooing, he met a rebuff
That was certainly hard to endure;
told him so plainly, he could not mistake,
And advised him to give up the track
For I'm more than ever determined to make
No pledge till the soldiers come back.
l can hardly tell why that my heart is so queer,
But almost adore the brave man
Who went TO the war as a brave volunteer,
Who is foremost in Liberty's van;
And know, when the deepening conflict is past,
And secession is put to the rack,
1 shall never regret that 1 determined to wait
Till the volunteer soldiers come back.
When the boys shall return, am in the roll
And if one Of them chance to propose,
shall go for the union with spirit and soul,
Whoever may dare to oppose,
The spirit that dares for his country in need
That strikes for the right and the free,
I'm certain will covet home and wife,
And such spirit for me.

THIS remedy has for itself such notoriety
from its cures of every variety of pulmonary disease
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evil
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its
fulness and so numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appa-
rent to escape observation and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what antdOte

upon the lungs, but for the milder varieties of
COLDS, CoUGHs, HoARsENEss, &c. and for Chill
DREN it is the pleasantest and safest medicine that
can be obtained.
As it has long been in constant use throughout
this section, we need not do more than assure the

has been, and that the genuine article is sold by
