WILKES CoUNTY.-It seems there are a few per-
sons who are very anxious to give Wilkes county
hard name, and hence everything happening there
is magnifed into an extraordinary outrage
There are some deserters in Wilkes, but we learn
that most of them are from other States, and but
very few of them belong to that county They
collect there because the mountains afford them re-
fuge, and not because the people of Wilkes are
worse than these Of other counties. The following
from the Conservative will show that even some of
the people of Wilkes themselves are given to exag-
geration when speaking of affairs in their own
county:
1--WE are highly gratfed tn be able to correct the
statement recently made in the Conservative in re-
gard to the enormites ofdeserters committed in the
county of Wilkes, alluded to in the following letter.
and therefore cheerfully publish it The statements
which we published were based upJn information
received at the Executive Office in this city, and of
course were not intended to do injury to innocent
persons, nor to the victims of the depredators hut
relying upon their correctness we gave them to the
public in order to show the necessity for the sup
preston of the enormities committed by the deser-
tiers. Those<of our contemporaries who published
the article, are requested to make the correction:
WILKES County, N. G., Nov. Q, 1864.
Messrs. j. B. Neathery Dc Co.:
GENTLEMEN Il notice in your daily issue Of the
I'd inst, speaking of "the outrages and enormties
Of the deserters" you state that deserters" in the
daughters of Mr.. Michael Williams short time
since, under the most aggravattng circumstances.
Now, gentlemen, there is not shadow of founda-
ton for this statement, and am indignant to think
that such fabrication should have found its way to
the public eye through the newspapers.
1t is true that four or five deserters came to nv
house on the night of the 2lst ult, demanded my
guns and ammunition, but finding the guns of poor
quality they left them. offered no resistance to
the demand feeling that old man could not with
stand such a number This was II o'clock at night
we were all bed, two of the deserters had gone to
the fire place and struck light leaving two or three
at the doors. When they satisfied themselves about
the guns they left without Offering any insult or
violence. One of them returned to say to me that
If reported them they would burn me out Next
morning my wife found they had entered her kitch-
en- and taken the knives and forks and a crock of
milk, which was all we missed.
Messrs. Editors, write this not to vindcate the
deserters for they have behaved badly but to wipe
out the foul stain from my daughters names, and
hope you will publish the denial as widely as YOU
published the SANDERS. and editors having copied
the story will please give space to my denial.
MICHAEL WILLIAMS.

WHAT ARE We TO DO 2-There is nothing more
certan-not even death and taxes-thau a fam
inc will perVade this region of country unless gov
eminent gives up its tithes in this and the djOin-
ing counties of Pyttsylvania Halifax, Va, and Per-
son, n. c. to the use of the starving multitudes.-
Not grain of wheat or corn-not dust Of flour
or meal-can be found for sale. The few who could
spare, if they would prefer not to do it if wait
ing for famine prices when hunger will drive man
to give all that he is worth and throw in himself
for piece of bread. We have men of this dispo-
stion here in Caswell and the surrounding counties
we blush to proclaim the humiliating, the degrading
fact but it is so. Some Of them call themselves
christians and even talk of patriotism! aye, and q
few of them were rampant original secessionists
who, when the buge notes of war first sounded,
said Go boys! to the harvest of death We'll take
of your families, and throw open cribs
and smoke houses to your families and divide the
last pea in the dish with them" But how have
these promises been kept and how are they being
kept? We blush to tell 1t is disgrace to hu-
man nature. Suffice it to say hole in the smoke
house and the corn crib has been dug-the meat and
corn hid the doors bolted, barred and locked, and
the keys thrown away--famine prices alone can
find them-AiltOn Chronicle.

THIRST AND HUNGER Every one is familiar with
the fac. that the animal system can bear up much
longer under the influence of hunger than that of
thirst. The reason is that during abstinence from
food the organism lives upon its own substance
The accumulation of fat feeds the system, which
does not suffer materially until that source Of susie
nance is exhausted. During abstinence from liquid
the organism has no. self sustaining supply.
Except when person is placed in very moist
atmosphere, three days of deprivation of drink is
usually the limit of endurance; while persons have
been known to exist without food from fifteen to
twenty days. Raging thirst is the most terrible in
Fiction which can be visited upon man; it IS more
terrible than starvation The subsection to thirst
is much more effectua in tanning animals than their
deprivation of food
