"ARousINC THE ENEMY.''-We sometimes hear
opposition to a measure of the Confederate Govern
ment because it might arouse the enemy-unite the
Northern people against us-or injure US in some
way at the North. No fears of the kind need be
entertained. One year ago enemies were
thoroughly aroused and almost all the Northern
people united against US; and instigated by
tie devil and filled with malicious, revengefu
spirit, they assaulted in every way possible; but
they failed and day they as far off from con-
quering the South as at the commencement of the
| war. 1t is said they disorganized and
divided. The best way to keep them divided is to
rcaliate, defeat their designs, and injure them all
If we act from fear of re uniting and
'arousng the enemy it will embolden them to re-
newed effort to subjugate They can never
again be united against they once were, and
the best for rulers to pursue is to do what
is right and adopt such measures may seem neces-
sary, without regard to the effect it will have In
Lincolndom.

DIsT1LLERIEs.-We direct particular attention
to the Order of the Adjutant- General of North
Carolina, directing the Militia officers to prevent
any dstiIlation of spirituous liquors from any grain
whatever within the bounds of their commando
They are required to search for stills wherever they
have reasonable grounds or information for suspect
ing that disilaton is being carried in violation
of law. and they are authorized, if necessary, to
use the militia force to execute the order.
We hear that distilleries are being in several
counties, and we hope the proper information will
now be given to the militia officers, and that they
will DO their duty. In some localities distilleries
are under the pretence of using fruit but there
is no doubt entertained by the neighbors that corn
and other grain is used. If militia officer fails or
negects to obey the order, let him be reported to
the Adjutant General, and he will be removed:

hoax, connected to affect the elections in

1t seemed quite plausible, as it was
known that active preparations for an at
tack on Charleston have been going on
for some time past at Hilton Head, and
that feet left that port some days since,
bound, as was supposed, for Charleston.
Still, the statement that the rebel strong
hold had been taken was regarded as at
least premature in we'll informed circles.
Charleston dispatches of the I'd say that
no attack had been made up to that time,
