OBITUARY NOTICES.

Died very suddenly of congestive chill, at his
residence in Kinston, Lenoir County, North Caro-
lima, the 22d of October, 1864, Mr. DANIEL Huron,
son Of William and Susan Hilton, aged 40 years,
months and II days.
The deceased was native Of England, but re-
moved with his father to this country, when only
about eight years age. For the last thirteen years
he has resided in the town Of Kinston, where he
was most favorably known both for the genialty
of his temperament and the honest industry of his
character He was one of the first mechanics and
architects in the South, and under his own super
vision nearly every bridge on the Atlantic Railroad
between the Towns of Goldsboro' and Newbern
was erected and besides he has left more lasting
monuments of his enterprise and attanments in
other and more distant localities. His worth and
ability made him an ornament to the Town of which
Re was SO long resident and the kindness of his
department aud native gentility Of character, but
enhanced his great value. His death mas left void
among his relatives and friends which can never be
filled and bereft the community at large Of an USE
full and energetic citizen
lie leaves dear wife and one little boy to mourn
their loss together with relatives and friends which
may it please the Wisdom of Almighty God so to
be tempered by this sad afiction, that their i'm
mortal spirits may be prepared to reap the true and
lasting rewards of Heaven, which we trust he has
now gone to enjoy. G. D. Q.

Words of Comfort.


A correspondent Of the Confederate who belongs
to the Home Guards writes as fellows to that paper
from Kinston:
"The blueness of the three beef shanks furnished
seventeen of US for one days rations, defes COM
parison the almost etty blackness of the wretched
compound made from the spout of a smut machine
called -four, beggars description. Some body ought
to be hung; either the miller who put up such
stuff, or the A. @. NJ. who purchased it for the
army. No man or dog on earth can eat thereof for
q week and live This is no idle complaint; some
of us are old soldiers and have lived roughly, but
this is wholly unbearable."
Whereupon the Confederate utters the following
words Of comfort:
"The rations will be bad to begin with, but bet
ter will come round in time 1t is better to begin
at the bottom Of the ladder and 60 up than at top and
come down. Our friends are having about as bad
fare now as they are likely to have"
Could the fare be worse, if what the correspon-
dent says be truef mo man or dog ON earth can
cot thereof for a soeek and lioe" Why are these
men treated in this way? The Stafederates of Raj.
egh draw their fine -four and corn NEAL their lard,
their sugar, their wood, and their bacon, at low
rates. and some Of them, Learn, sell their bacon
at high rates to our shopkeepers; but our soldiers
in camp arc put off with what-as this correspon.
dent says-would kill dog. But one of the or.
gans Of the Governor assures them that their fare
will be no worsel Very consoling indeed.

RALEIGH: FRIDAY, OCT. %, 1864.

TIE DISASTER IN THE VALLEY.-1t is stated that
Gen Early has issued an address to his troops, in
which he attributes his recent defeat to 1.-THE dis
graceful propensity to plumber and panic" we
hove heard from soldier who was in the recent
engagement in the Valley, that our troops had won
signal victory and then stacked their arms and COM
msnced to plunder the battlefield, when the fed
erals suddenly attacked them, and the result was
the loss of many cannon and total rout But
the men are not alone to blame for this. Gen. Ear
IL himself is said to be not free from censure.-
There we're no panics, no stacking Of arms to
plupder the battle field under Stonewall Jackson.
Gen. EARLY had larger army than Stonewall
Jackson ever commanded and if the latter had been
living and in his place We should have had very
different account from the Valley of Virginia As
it is we can only deplore these reverses, and "pck
the f:ut ard try it again." Success is the test oi
merit in military enterprises. Tried by this test
Gen. Early has been found wanting. Thousands Of
brave North Carolnians, including the gallant Ram:
seur have bitten the dust in these Valley cam
naipns and what makes this fact the more distres'
sing is they have probably died in vain. Gen. Ear
" ought to be forthwith removed.

The TRUE FIRE OF THE FLNF-In the Hoston
Conference, in session at Bristol last week, our ven
erable friend Bishop Early, in the course of de-
bate upon some question, incidentally alluded to
the expression that "the taking of Richmond was
merely question Of time" The Bishop remarked
that he did not think SO, and further said that if
he thought there was any danger that Richmond
could be taken, he would be for adourning Confer.
forthwith, and going to Richmond to assist in
tearing out every log and brick to prevent it."
This is the true fire of the flint and should be tho
determination of every man, old and young, in the
Confederacy. -Lyneh6urg Republican.

"tearing out" the clogs and bricks of Richmond ,

mously adopted by the body declaring the laws Of
Georgia, in their failure to recognize and protect
the marriage relation among our slave population,
to be essentially defective, and that they called for
reformation-Bib. Recorder.
By the law of North. Carolina, and we presume
by the law Of other slaveholdng States, free ne
gro is not permitted to marry slave. The object
Of the law is to prevent free negro from having
slave wife. What would be the effect of freeing
those male slaves in this State between eighteen and
forty five, who married, in order to place them
in the armyP Would it not at once divorce them

DIscoURAsrNe OxEN-Bro Pell to be candid
about the matter, the standard Of morals in the
army at present is very low. Profanity is on the
increase. Stealing is unprecedented And fear
drunkenness will be added to the vices already
practiced in camp as quantities of brandy being
brought from N. G. in the boxes of good things,
which are sent to the soldiers. Army Letter.
the above extract from an army letter. is truly
6iscouraging. If at time when every interest of
the country demands high moral virtue and cour-
age in the army, soldiers thus demoralized,
what can we hope for? And then to think of par
ents and friends sending brandy to the army, to
root out every vestige of morality among the SOL
diers by making them drunken what is to be the
result? Better let them die in the trenches good
men, honest, sober men, a thousand times, than
make them drunken and worthless. If the au-
thorities intend to allow this, either among officers
or privates, they had better disband the army and
give up. We find the impression prevails that
drunkenness is on the increase, both at home and
IN the army. We have ridiculed the drunken Yam
KEGS, and now we are walking in their footsteps
Let every true friend of the cause discourage this
in every possible way.-N. G. Christian Aduocote
We concur with our cotenporary in every word
of the above. But we must 60 to the root of the
matter in this business. At the last session Of
Congress national distilleries established By
an act Of that body and we learn that the impress
sing officers are now engaged, in many Of the Coun-
ties of this State, in impressng brandy from the
people These distlleries carried on, and this
brandy is impressed ostensibly for medical pur-
poses, but really for the of officials and for pur
poses of speculation. There is not sick soldier
in ten who ever smells any Of this ardent spirits
except in the breath of some official. Congress
should repeal this law establishing national dstil-
leres and the President should stop these impress
! ments Of brandy. Drunkenness is on the increase
both at home and in the army. 1t is useless to
pray, or even to hope for success when many Of
the rulers ofthe people, we'll as officials of almost
every grade, are almost constantly saturated with
ardent spirits, and when this fire water is expressly
provided for officials by solemn act of Congress-
Nor will it do any good to pray, as some of our
worthy preachers are doing, that God would re-
move drunken officials from among us, for the
simple reason that the days of miracles have pas
| sed. Human means must be used to remove such
characters. No fire will descend from Heaven to
consume either the liquors or the drunkards.
We understand there is government dstillery
IN full blast at Salisbury, and that fconsumes about
three hundred bushels per day Of the precious gram.
1t is said to be guarded by Confederate bayonets.
