Weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1858-1865, 1864-09-28

The true theory Of CONSUMPTION has not yet been
reached in our laws in the practice under them.
1t is too commonly but errOneOusly assumed that
liability to military service is an exxction, and that
exemption however obtained, from that liability,
relieves the person from all public and special SER
vice.
The better theory is or should be that all citizens,
not physically or mentally unfit for any occupation
or employment, are liable and should be enrolled,
and should be assigned to such service needed as
they can best perform. For economy in health it
has been found expedent and advisable to select and
insist OH certain conditions within certain ages for
soldiers but the enrolling power should recognize
and apply its paramount claims to the services of
all citizens, not with reference to exaction, but to
duty and policy.
Oae man should be told, "Go be soldier, and
stand forth for your country" Another Of equal
ardor and courage but of different qualifications and
habits, should be told, 4" Go make shoes, or bake
bread, or build houses, or shoe horses-for your
country and for 3 reasonable maintenance for your
self and family" One man should be put to salt
boil:ng-not quart month for mere show-but
under as vigorous and vigant supervision and in
spection as the soldiers is in the Geld and for the
same purpose-to enable him to be most useful to
the country. Under such an. appointing and en-
rolling power as Napoleon exert ted, not only SOL
diers but citizens, chemists, mechanics, engineers,
&c, came forth to work, and in their ways to work
for the country. Can we not attempt such con-
scription ?-Charlest0n Courier.
The Courier wants the strings frightened As it
is, the farms and the workshops are nearly all in
the hands Of the government for their owners or
occupants are detailed, and can remain where they
are only so long as the enrolling officer pleases.-
We do notstop to argue the constutionalty of this
action of Congress, for Constitutions are obsolete
things nowadays. The Courier wants more rigid
CONSUMPTION. We have already the most rigid sys
TEN Of CONSUMPTION in the world. We do not well
see how or where the strings could be frightened.

armies They are, to all intents and purposes, the
subjects of foreign government, Maryland not hsv

let our government at once remove from Office those

masters who hail from Maryland, and who, in many
Instances, take pleasure in lording it over our sold

still content to remain with US and fight cur battles,

s~.z.s The Latest News. . .-..
We give elssvhsre to-day the Latest war news,
carefully prepared and die.sted q.
We have thus fur no Confederate account IN
detail Of the recent battle at Winchester. Ths
account which We publish from tho Baltimore
.Ansrscaa. forces upsa us the impression that the
result Of that conflict WAS disastrous to our arms.
We regret to learn from the Richmond Wig Of
Saturday last, that on the ed Gen. EARLY was
again attacked BY Sheridan near Strasbnsg, and
driven back with loss Of twelve pieces Of cannon.
With the heavy federal column said to be in Cul-
pepper few days since, and Sheridan pressing
Early in his rear, the chances of the latter to make
good his retreat to Richmond are by no means
certain, especially if the column referred to should
reach Charlottesville before be does, and thus block
his retreat on that line.
Gen. Sherman telegaphs to Secretary Stanton
that Generals Rodss, Ramsear, Gordon, Terry,
Goodwin, Bead, Bradley T. johnson, and Fitz Lee
were either killed or wounded. Confederate &C.
counts state that Brig. General York, commanding
Hays and Stafford's Louisiana brigade, had his
arm shot of. We learn that Maj Seaton Gales, of
this City, is prisoner. Several federal Generals
"Sso AhtSu ~ Stio cuShScuouts 1u0l0 was WuCN
rejoicing in the North over the battle Of Winchss-
ter. --.- - ..-.
The enemy, supposed 10 DO . portion of Sher-
mans command, made their appearance in heavy
force within three miles Of Culpepper Courthouse
on the 2lst 1t was believed their infantry would
advance Gordonsville and their cavalry on Char
louisville.
The Lynchburg Republican of Saturday last
says it was reported that EARLY bad retired from
Fishers Hill, near Strasburg and was slowly falling
back before Sheridan. The same paper states that
Oulpepper Courthouse was occupied on Friday by
three brigades of federal troops, who were detached
from Sheridan's army
. We have nothing later from Petersburg.
The armistice between Generals Hood and Sher-
man expired on the 22d Sherman's cavalry is
supposed to have left Atlanta on the 23d, and
passed out upon the left but there had been no
general movement of his infantry Confederate
accounts put down the number Of his army at only
forty thousand. Sherman was Still bringing in
heavy supplies to Atlanta
The federala at Atlanta received dispatch on
the 22d from Secretary Stanton, stating that in the
late battle Of Winchester Sheridan had defeated
EARLY, taking five thousand prisoners, five pieces of
artillery, and nine colors.
President Davis arrived at Macon on the morning
of the 3d. on his way to Hoods army. He made
Speech in the course Of which he said that Sher.
man would soon be forced to retreat and that the
scenes of the retreat of Bonaparte from Moscow in
1912 would be re enacted

RALEIGH: WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 20, 1864.

Peace measures and peace men, both North and
South. appear to be in a sad predicament- C0nser
catiUs.
If this be so, Why the incessant prayers by many
If our people for peacef live will have peace on
" on our oson terms, why vex the ear Of Heaven
on the subject3 ..1
Gov Vance promised peace to the people within
ninety DAYS after the 9th of August last and Pres
dent Davis told the people Of Greensborough on
Wednesday morning last that he hoped soon to see
neace with independence. Are these false lights
Southern peace measures, "hewn out with the
sword" as our contemporary expresses it are not as
promising now as they were two years ago. If the
condition of things totally different-if we of
the South had the North where they have us-if
our troops held Cincinnati or Harrisburg and thun-
dered at the gates of Washington City, then indeed
might we hope that the federal government would
tender an armistce and agree to our terms
We conceive it to be our duty as public journ'
alist, while we encourage troops in the field,
and labor by all judicious means to keep our army
we'll filled and we'll supplied, to cultivate peace
feeling and to omit no honorable effort to close this
unnatural bloody, and awful strife. We concur
with our contemporary of the N. G. Christian Adco-
eate in his paper of the 2sh Of last month, that
"Our government and people should in every way
encourage these indications for peace Not by les
sening the apparatus Of war, in men, or means or
measures, but by holding out every assurance to
the Peace party of the North, of our readiness to
promote the great ends of peace IN ecery possible
Guy"
Perhaps the word "possible" is too strong. 1t
certainly is if it intended, as we are sure it was
not to embrace the restoration of the old govern
ment as one of the ways to peace Our cotempora
~ meant honorable instead Of "poss;ble." All
things are possible, but all things are not honora-
ble We have never used as strong an expression
on the subject as that quoted above from cotem
porary.
1t is little singular that the peculiar personal
and official organ of Gov Vance should sneer at
peace measures and peace men, when is recolect-
ed that that functionary, on the stump, declared
himself better peace man than his opponent, and
endorsed most emphatically the peace views of Mr..
Stephens and Gov. Brown. Is not this "hollng
the promise to the ear and breaking it to the
hopefa-0 hhfor some man in high official position
in the South with the wisdom to comprehend, and
the moral courage 70 act in this csas in such way
as to bring peace to our smitten and suffering coun
tryl But we have dwarfs in both sections where
we ought to have giants. Unchastened ambition
and sectional hate rule the hour.
