The Case of Calvin G. Perkins.

A friend who is well informed on the subject,
writes us that we we're incorrect in our statement
that Mr. Perkins was examined and remanded to
prison by Judge Biggs. We learn that he was
brought before Judge Biggs, on the 9th of June,
1862, in Salisbury, and was refused an exanina.
ton, but was ordered to be brought to Goldsboro'
on the 14th of June, and then have an examination.
He then refused an examination. and ordered him
to be carried to Rocky Mount for an examination
on the 18th of June and at Rocky Mount he re.
fused an examination, or to have any thing more
to do with the case. There was no charge against
Perkins of any kind, either verbal or written. A
motion was made by his counsel that he be dis
charged, and the reply was that if he had applied
for the writ sooner he would have discharged him.
We have the above facts from undoubted author
ity. We leave the people to form their opinion
as to the conduct of Judge Biggs. A day of reck-
Onng is approaching for Judicial as well as polit-
ical tYrants

For the Standard.


Mr.. EDITOR Your very excellent paper comes
to us, notwithstanding the irregularity of the nails
The Standard and It's Editor exceedingly dear
to the common people, who hear the truth gladly.
But there is one point OH which we all wish to hear
the STANDARD speak loud and long-that u.s. the
interest of the farmer in the old Carolina State.
The cultivation of the soil is at this time very i'm
portant; and yet there is much cause of diScour-
agement to the planter. On account of the con.
scriptiOn, some farms in my neighborhOod will lie
without cultivation. Some large rich fields will be
INTENDED this year, while their products are SO
much needed. And again, others speak of cultiva-
ting no more than small supply for their own
families because" say they, ut will be impressed,
and we will not receive an equivalent for it" The
work of impressment has been going on in Rock
ingham and other places, and that too, on those
things in immediate demand to feed the wives and
children of our soldiers. Many good citizens have
the products of their labor torn from them by stran
gers, and for what purpose they know not This
iS producing bad effect our farming population,
and unless there is some immediate remedy it will
sap the very foundation Of our government.

ENDORSEMENTS.

We are gratifed to see that Adutant General
Cooper has issued the following Order on the sub
ject of impressments:
In consequence of numerous applications made
by various persons to the War Department, it is
obvious that some .misconception in regard to the
instructions of the Secretary of War in relation to
the impressment Of supplies must exist on the part
of the people, that the agents Of the government
have violated their Instructions now, therefore, for
the purpose of removing such misconception, and
to prevent any violation of those instructions it is
hereby ordered,
i. That no officer of the government shall, under
any circumstances whatever, impress the supplies
which party has for its own consumption or that
of his family, employees or slaves.
H. That no officer shall, at any time, unless spe-
cialy ordered so TO do, by General commanding,
In a case of exigency, impress supplies which are
on their way to market for sale on arrival.
III. These orders were included in the instruc-
tiOns originally issued in relation to impressment
BY tue Secretary of War; and the officers exercising
such authority are again notified that "any one
acting without or beyond" the authority given in
those instructions will be held strictly responsible
