From Fredericksburg

Tha Richmond Examiner OF the 22d has advices
from Fredericksburg of thes day before. All was
nuiet There was some talk OF the eneiny's making
! change Of base, bat it was all rumor, and thought
to be unfounded in fact
tho .rue object of Lincoln's recent visit to his army
akopt Fredericksburg. It was to induce the soldiers,
xrhosc term Of service IS about to expire, TO re-enlist.
He made grand speeches to them, liquor was dealt
ont as free as water, and they were allowed g general
| time Of carousal without restraint-but all without
effect. The men thanked him for the liquor, and for
all his compliments, but very plainly told him that
they .swere going home when their.time was out,
and the devil could not prevent them" He tOld. them
the rebellion would be crushed out in the next ninety
DAYS: but the men told him this had been the tale
ever since the war began, but it was not ended yet.
1t is evident that great concern is felt about the loss
of the large number whose time will expire about
the middle of May, and Hooker must make a move
before he loses them, or not 1t all.
tits also. confidently asserted that Lincoln has been Of
fcislly advised that the West will not furnish another
II man for the war, and that this is her settled, well-con-
f sidered decision. Taken in connection with the fact
that Lincoln has shirked the CONSUMPTION act, and in.
definitely postponed its enforcement, the story has
an air of probability in it, and we are disposed to
h believe it true. The West is heartily sick Of the
r war, and if her troops withdraw, il must fall.of re-
! cessity-the North will be unable to furnish men 10
carry it on, and Lincolns only alternative will be
: to accept peace on the best terms he can get. Very
it much, almost every thing, depends upon the events Of
Y the next thirty days.

NJ Finding it impossible to procure pa
per of a larger size, we have so filled the pre-
sent sheet as to contain as much reading mat
te: as the former one. Our readers will be
satisfied of this by remarking the length OF
time it takes to read this sheet and the for
mer one. We make nothing by the change,
as the present sheet now costs as much as
the former. It was ola size used by no 9TH
er paper for which the mills manufactured.
Hence, to make of that size, they had to alter
their machinery, which involved considerable
8 trouble and loss oftime. ThiSAthe Proprie-
tors refused to do any longer, and we were
compelled to accommodate ourselves to any
size they would furnish US, or go without
. altogethey. We are told we can always get
this size. So we shall be able to keep going
as long as the paper mill does.

HABEAs CoRPUs.-Another imnortan

HABEAs CoRPUs.-Another important
case has been decided by Chief Justice Pear
son. In July 1862, John n. Irwin of Rock.
ingham county, hired a substitute, one Gcd-
heart, who was SO years of age, and conse-
quently not then liable as a conscript. He
was accepted by Col. Mallet, and Irwin re-
ceived an absolute discharge. After the pas
sage of the law subjecting. men between IS
and 45 to CONSUMPTION, it was commended that
Gedhart was himself liable, and therefore IT.
wins discharge had no further effect. The
Chief Justice decided that this was not the
law, but win, having been absolutely dis
charged, was no longer liable to CONSERVATION
He says it would be different where a youth
under Is was hired, since it was known to
the parties when he was hired that he would
be liable on arriving at 10. The considera.
J ton then fails and the officer has no rieht t.
grant a longer discharge.

Our SOLDIERS IN SoUTH CARoLISA-Iae
Editors of the Fayetteville Observer have re-
Gently seen gentleman from James Island,
near Charleston, where Gen Clin5mans
North Carolina Brigade is stationed, who
gives adeplorable account of the want OF pro-
~;Sions By which they are suffering. he
s,ivs that their allowance of meat is restricted
to tao ounces a day. They have plenty OF
corn meal. but no -four. With such an IN
adequate supply of even the plainest TODD,
we are not surprised to learn that they are
never free from the cravings of hunger.
Whether the troops from other States are sim
ilarly straitened for food, our informant
does no. know. We think it unlikely, foI
we see no complaint from them, and learn
that in other parts Of the country the army
is much better fed.
But, whether others suffer or not, tn
people Of North Carolina should do wha
they can to nourish and sustain their Owl
neglected soldiers, even at the expense G
some deprivation to themselves, The Editor
of the Observer propose, therefore, that i'm
mediate steps DC taken in every county who
has one or more companies stationed nea
Charleston to collect food or money to sen
at once to their relief. Clingman's Brigad
fconsists of the 6th, 31th, 51st and 81:
North Carolina Regiments. Let not onl
the counties having sons in those regimen
respond to the above proposition, but !
every North Carolinian contribute to Il
relief of their gallant suffering brethren.

20 A correspondence of the Standard
uritac nc fellows s# Nh

~ A correspondence OF the Otano@Fu
writes as follows
Gov. Vance's late proclamation prohibiting
the expectation of bread and meat, meets
hearty approval here. Can he not do some
thing to stop the distiliation of grain? l
understand there is a company in Union
County which has never stopped distilling,
and are carrying it on now.
Whose fault is it that the distillation of
grain has not been stopped? Clearly, the
fault of the people in whose midst the law
less acts have been or are being committed.
The Legislature has passed alaw, with severe
penalties against it, and those engaged in it
are liable to separate indictments for every
day, or parts of days, in which -distilling
may be done. It is impossible that the work
of distillation can be carried on without the
knowledge of the people in the community
where the distillery js situated, if they will
put themselves to a little trouble to ascertain
the fact and when the fact is ascertained,
let the d~istillers be carried by warrant before
