A CoMPLIxENr TO TIE NORTH CAROLINA SOLDIERS.
"A minister, who has recently returned from a
visit to the army Of Northern Virginia, gives the
following. He called at the house of gentleman,
stating his name profession and place of residence
and soliciting food and shelter for the night The
reply was highly honorable to our brave soldiers.

We have no news of interest from the army OF
Virginia, or from Charleston, or Dalton, or Gen.
Longstreet.
The enemy, it is said, has retreated to CumOer'
land Gan It is also stated that he has evacuated
Corinth and fallen back towards Memphis. -.
1t is stated that Gov. Vance has kindly offered
Gen. Longstreet enough clOthiug to supply his com
mand.
Gen. Banks, it is said, has ordered an election o.
DELEGATES to a State Convention in Louisiana.
Our cavalry are in the vicinity of Knoxville an

A "CitiZen," whose communication appears IN
the Confederate of Thursday is mistaken in sup
posing that We have made any threat against any
one in certain event. We are acting entirely op
the defensive, and giving warning of what must
happen mob violence should be resnrted to against
US. We should deplore as profoundly as any one
the destruction of property the shedding of blood
by mob, whether OF soldiers or citizens, for any
cause. There is no hope for society but in the
ta0; and in crisis like the present it is the duty
every good citizen to set his face against even the
Slightest whIsperings of mob law. If the authcri
ties do their duty, we take it for granted they
will there is no reason tor apprehending mob vio-
lence
"a Citizen" does US great injustice when he
charges that we in favor of the secession of this
State from the common government We are con-
Stantly prejudiced and injured by misrepresenta-
tons of our views and opiIions by our political op
pOnents. All We ask is that we may be judged by
What we say editorially in the Standard If this
Is asking too much, then
"Ojudgment, thou art fed to british beasts,
AND men have lost their reason"
We are sorry to see that the usually discreet
Vharotte Democrat intimates that Gen. Hoke's bri-
gade, recently sent to this State may be order
cd to interfere with the people in the free express
sion Of their opinions. We learn that this brigade
comes to this State at the request of Gov Vance,
'Cf the purpose of recruiting and at the same time
saing in arrestipg deserters. We cannot believe it
possible that the brave men who compose that bri-
sSue would sully their wellearned fame by inaugu-
tS0ng Or taking part in scenes not warranted oy
tne Constitution and laws.
"ecoPy from the Confederate of Thursday the
oo"lns observations, which are credftabe to the

The weather in this latitude for several days past
has been delightful-as mild and as ballny as in
spring time But the cold season is not yet over.
The buds are swelling, and week more of such
warm weather for January may result in the de-
structiSn of the fruit, which would be seriously
felt as the scarcity of general means of subssten
is likely to continue.

By law, the present session of the Confederate
Congress expires on the 18th of February next
less than a month from this time-and by law, it
does not meet until the first Monday in December,
niDe months hence. The Senate, seeing the exi.
gcncies of the approaching Spring, resolved that
Congress should meet the first Monday in May
Tue. House, TO the surprise and pleasure Of every
body, resolved to meet q month sooner than the
Senate had suggested. A bill to this effect passed
the House by considerable majority, but on the
molten Of Mr. Barksdale, whose relations to the ad
mnistratiOn are well known, the bill has been
committed to the Judiciary committee 1t seems
this is to be made q test question, and there is
possibility-we trust and believe that 1t is nothing
mOre-that the country may again be called upon
to mourn q second interregnum, longer and far
more dangerous than that which followed the fall
of Vicksb1rg and Port Hudson, when our finances
ran to ruin at the rate of two or three millions
day, our armies dwindled away, and he alone who
had the power tor call Congress together was deaf
to public entreaty, and made no sign.
This disposition to put of the meeting of Con-
gress is unaccounrsble except upon the hypothesis
tnat the friends of the Administration are Of opinion
that 1t is the intention Of Congress to lnere, with
the Executive. Congress has no such Intention
A great deal Of important business is unfinished
and but little time remains to finish 1t in The
rency question has not been settled The military
bill has not been settled. These are matters of vital
importance, and if hurried over at the heel of the
session Will d0uoteSS need early revision. 1t is I'M
portant what the effect of the currency meas
ures will be. crisis is at hand, when the people
will not be satisfied unless their representatives
in their places. It's necessary that the new mem
bers should be here at the earliest moment Indeed
it may be said there hundred reasons for the
carly re assembling of Congress and scarcely one
good one against it The people desire it, and they
will watch with jealous eye those who attempt 20
thwart their wishes
Whence comes this factious opposition in Congress
to the will Of the people? What is the meaning of
it7 Who are the instigators of the movement and
what is the endthey seek to accomplish! We con.
feSs at loss !or answers to these questions
Is it not designed to subVer the government What
then, means this attempt to place the whole power
of exemptions in the hands of the Secretary of War;
to conscribe everybody from l6 to 60, to suspend
ha6eas cOpu and to postpone in this time public
peril the meeting of the Rep eSentatives of peo
pie? Weshoud be glad to obtain candid responses
to these Observation-Disclosures Wing.
In crisis like the present Congress ought to be
constantly in session, and as soon as the present
Congress expires the members of the new Congress
ought to be permitted to take their seats.
