D-What is the use for Southern men to be talk
ing and quarrelling about constitutional questions
while the war is progressing, aad before the enemy
is driven from our soil. Until the enemy is defeat
ed and driven off, it is not worth while for any of US
to fall out and quarrel among ourselves about the
construction of the constitution. Let defeat the
brutal and savage foe and establish the ndepen-
dence of the Confederacy. and then can settle
constitutional questions in accordance with the
wishes of majority of the people. Some people
appear TO delight in harping about the unconsttu-
tionality of the conscript law, but suppose the
conscript law had not been enforced, what would
have been the condition of the Southern States
day! Volunteering had ceased, and the term of
one hundred thousand of our best soldiers was about
to expire, and. as was natural, the men wanted to
come home and rest awhile at least; but if this had
been allowed, the enemy would have overrun the
country-the battle ground, instead of being in
Virginia would have been in the heart of North
Carolina. We think with Gov. Vance, as he de-
clared in his Inaugural Address. that there was
great necessity for the conscript law and that it
saved the Southern cause. Those who are con-
tinually talking about the unoonstutionality of the
conscript law are. mostly, demagogues who are
seeking popularity among the people and who want
to be elected to some office. They care very little
TOR the country, their ambitious desires are
gratlhed. In future canyasses see if these self
righteous fellows don't have great deal to say
ABOUT the unconstitutionality of that law.

The EXEMPTION AcT.-The Confederate Con-
gress has been working at bill for the purpose OF
amending the Exemption act, but, after making
several propositions to amend, the whole matter
was rejected last week by large majority so the
Exemption Act Stands as heretofore. except that
clause which exempted the owner of plantation
with twenty negroes it. A bill to repeal that
clause passed the House almost unanimously ano
is now before the Senate, where it will also be
passed as soon as it is reached on the calendar.
Another bill has been introduced to repeal the
whole Exemption Act, and leave exemptions to be
made by the President Of such persons as he may
think proper.

RELIEF FUND.-The Legislature having appro-
qri"ted one million of dollars for the relief of the
soldiers families, we suppose the appropriations
by County Courts will now be discontinued. The
county of Mecklenburg has already expended a
pretty large amount in this way. and at the last
term of our County Court further provision was
made tor the same purpose. But inasmuch as the
taxpayers of the county will have to hear their
Pr"portionnte part of the State approximation. wa
suppose that no further appropriation will be dis
our'ed from the county treasury, as the county will,
De entitled to its share from the State.
NEwsPAPERs.-We notice that tho pa,o;u,
papers and nearly all other newspapers :, e..
South have been compelled by the high nr;ce &c
materials to advance their prices; but in No in
stance have they advanced in proportion to the
advance in other articles. Those papers that have
not advanced, with but few exceptions are printing
only half or on reduced sized sheet, which is
equal to doubling the old price--it is about the
Same as if they had doubled the price Of subscrip-
non; and even at that there is 10 danger of news
papers making fortunes while the war lasts.

DESERVING AND STRAGGLING.-In a circular
recently issued by Major General to recruiting
officers, sent from the camps to gather up conscrpts
and deserters, find the following language:
There is reason to apprehend that in many
tons the people, either through mistaken sympa-
thy or in ignorance are encouraging and abetting
desertions and stragglings from the army The
writer very justly concludes, in a subsequent part
of this circular, that 1.-The cause is lost when the
people at home to lend their cooperation in
maintaining the efficiency and supporting the dis
ciplne of the army" 1t is the duty of the people
at home they value the success of our great
struggle and love those whose duty it is to defend
the to give their active assistance and coope
ration not only in securing volunteers, but also in
inducing the laggard to return to duty. Deserters
will not be allowed to escape the penalty of their
delinquency, and it is fatal error both as to them
and the cause to encourage them in keeping out of
the army.-SaliSbury Watchnaan.
We regret that our Legislature did not pass the
bill to punish those who harbor deserters and aid
and abet desertion 1t passed the House, but
when it was taken up in the Senate, Mr.. Graham
said he was opposed to it, and of course it was
kiled-ayes H. noes 16. Mr.. Warren, a ICON
sentative" said he was opposed to it because it
endorsed the constitutionaty of the conscrpt act!
We suppose he is willing to see tie Confederate
army broken up by desertion rather than pass a
law that might be construed into an approval of the
CONSUMPTION act Gov. Vance recommended the
passage of such law in two written messages to
the Legislature, and the bill which the .sconserya
tves" defeated was drawn up by the Military Com
mittee in strict conformity to the Governors scrt-
ten suggestions.

D'Among the laws passed By the recent session
of the South Carolina Legislature, we notice one
to prevent the cultivation of more than three acres
of Cotton to the hand Also, act to grant aid to
the Cheraw and Coal Fields Railroad. This
Road is being built from Cheraw, s g., to the
coal fields in Chatham county, N. c., running
through the counties of Richmond, Montgomery
and Moore.

The SMALL POX LAw.-The Legislature passed
people of the State to prevent the spread of small
pox. We learn that the act provides for the ap-
pointment of Surgeon in each county to attend
TO the matter. We doubt the propriety Of making
appropriation for that purpose. those who de-
sired to be yaccinated have already been; besides,
ut creates too many salaried Offices, and will do
little or no good. But the Legislature has appro-
priated money with an unsparng hand, and it may
be useless low to talk about the necessity for
economy.
Vaccination has done great deal more harm this
year than the small pox; it has caused the death of
several persons in this part of the State eryspeas
having supervened; and we learn that it has pros
trated and killed many soldiers in the same way.
