of the Confederate Tax in North Carolina Ie has
the appointment of the Deputy Collectors for the several
counties in the State.
THE MLITIA.-We publish the Act passed by
the last Legislature Of North Carolina amend the
Militia law. This Act appears to have special
reference where the Militia is called into actual
service. 1t will be found Oh the irst page of to-
days paper.
We learn that President Davis has asked the
Governors of the several States to call out certain
portion of the Militia for home defence, to serve for
six months unless sooner discharged-the men not
to go into service until the lst of August This
force, frequired to turn out in this State, will do
duty in the State; but it is hoped and believed that
by the lst of August there will be no necessity
for using the Militia.
None others than those specially named in the
Act which we publish exempt from Militia duty
SO that those having substitutes in the army, and
foreigners claiming foreign protection, will be COM
PEELED to turn out for home defence. This in ac-
cordance with the recent decision of the Adjutant
General, well in consonancc with the law it.
self. We suppose volunteers will be called fol
first and if the requisite number is not raised in
that way, a. draft will be resorted to.

THE LATE FIGHT AT CULPEPER, VA.


We have at length connected idea of the desperate
and satisfactory return of results. 1t that the
enemy, after crossing the river Brandy Station
cut off pckets by surprise and dashed into one Of
our advanced camps before their approach could be
guarded against Our men fed, of course, being
totally unprepared for the assault; but rallied
during the morning, and general assault made
by Stuart which resulted in the defeat and retreat OF
the enemy The latter engaged some IL, 600 strong in
the demonstration and attack. We lost stores,
camp equipage, and about $50 in killed wounded and
missing. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded is
correctly known, but must have reached between
two and three hundred, while his loss in prisoners
certainly numbered $50, Including II commissioned
officers, all of whom have arrived in Richmond. Some
twelve fifteen of his wounded fell into our hands.
The fighting Brandy Station, towards
the close of the engagement being hand
hand fight of cavalry. Although the day finally
won by troops the men feel sore that they should
have been.suprised in the beginning and anxious
retalate in kind, at almost any hazard, in order
that they may oberate this unpleasant souvenir OF
unmilitary discipline.
Accounts of the battle from various present
array of brilliant pictures which may well adorn
the history of the war. The spirit of our gallant
soldiers, fighting though they were at disadvantage
brought out in its noblest light. Hand to hand
they fought, with sabre and musket and drove back
the assailants every part of the field. In one
instance the enemy charged battery and gupners
met them with their ramn,ers, endorsed the first who
dashed forward and aided effectuay In beating bac
the With such incidents the fight was full.

extract of letter from President Davis to Gov.
Vance, that conscripts have right to select the
companies in which they prefer TO After

to choose his own company, and it is to be hoped

juice has been expressed. At the the ex-

is developed, and it gives beautiful

are dried TO stop the fermentation, and
then ground to a fine powder, which is
treated with water. This removes small
