INTERESTING DRc1sToN.-The following opinion of
the Adutant General of North Carolina deciding that
Foreigners and all persons who have put substitutes in
the Army still liable to perform Militia duty will
be found interesting:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT NORTH CAROLINA
Adjutant Generals Office, Militia, May U.s. 1863
to the liability of foreigners and persons who have
placed substitutes in the Confederate army" to do
militia duty, has been received.
By the 10th chapter, sec. L, Revised Code, no one
is subject to militia duty unless he is citizen of the
State or of the Omitted at the session of
the General Assembly held in 1860-'61, the lew was
apprentices between certain ages 'swbo reside in the
State" &c.
1t is clear that Foreigners would not be embraced
under the term "Citzen," but it is equally clear that
they are residents and embraced under the of
16GO-'61. They are therefore liable. As to those
who have placed substitutes in the Confederate army
am not aware of any law by which they are exempt
from militia duty Fbe late Legislature passed an
Sd the Legislature eDumeraes the classes of persons
which it was their intention 10 exempt.
Those furnishing substitutes are not enumerated.
We must therefore take it that Legislature intend
ed that they sh5uid perform militia duty.
L will state further that Justices of he Peace and
perso0s owning twenty negroes not excerpt from
Militia duty Men detailed by the Confederate Gov
eminent are exempt because they still regarded as
soldiers ard liable to be ordered into active
vice at any time.

THE SLEEPING TROUT.

remember last summer beautiful trout,
In brook that run under stone
He was leaping and flashing and darting about
thought the poor fellow would like to get out
OF the brook where he lived there alone.
There he ate and he slept and pretended to play,
Without any sister or brother;
l am sure he was weary of having his way,
And nobody loved him but me, for they say
He don't know his father and mother
Now the water is cold, there is ice on the brink,
And the MOSES are crusted with snow
There are no little robbins to come there to drink,
And the beautiful trout must be sleeping, think,
In his snug little bedroom below.
By-and-by, when the blue-brd sings sweet over
head,
And the violet opens her cup,
And the sunshine looks in where he lies in his
bed,
In nightgown all dotted with yellow and red -
Do yo think he will ever wake up?
